"Verywell..... I can get us to the elven border. There is a portal there but the area is swamped with orcs..... and humans." Naldany went to her wardrobe and took out one of her less glamerous robes and began to change. A knock came at the door as she finished changing and Phelan opened the door. Olantar had gathered the Zealott, Aramis, and Tailu, Naldany put on a brave face and motioned for them to come in.
"Olantar we are leaving Neriak.... are you comming with us?" Phelan asked.
Olantar smirked and nodded his head. "Phelan you didn't need to ask.... however there are other that would want to accompany you... gaurd that are loyal to you and not Nikkii."
"Leaving what father are you making us run from something?" Aramis began making a scene. Naldany chanted and the occupants of the room vanished and moments later stood on top of a dark pyramid overlooking Lake nerius that Lylith's keep rested out on. Camp fires could be seen burning off in the distance.
"Tailu I need you to tell me where you mom's cabin is...." Naldany looked the girl in the face.
"It's past the fires there and then we go past a small village and it is then on the shore.... but how will you get there auntee, and where is my mom?" Tailu was becomming worried.

"Loveless get lost.... I don't need you helping her." Keyra protested preparing for Darlena's next attack.
"Now who said I was helping her?...... " Loveless snickered at the two women.
"Then go, I have work to do.." Darlena turned and shouted at Loveless, Keyra taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Darlena whipped her sword tearing into her shoulder. Darlena ripped back at Keyra hitting her in the side with her sword,the grabbing one of her legs slung her into a tree before falling to one knee. Pondrus had now shown up carring a large explosive weapon, he smiled seeing his quarry wounded.
"Now wench you will die...." Before he could pull the trigger loveless spang up and took the weapon from him and sliced off his arm.
"Don't ruin my show...." Loveless looked down at the gnome as he groaned in pain. Darlena was going over to Keyra who was outcold and bleeding, she held her beheader high and aimed for Keyra's head. Loveless struck Darlena in the back of the head sending her to the down out cold.
"Looks like a draw....... I need you both alive for what I have planned." Loveless scooped up Darlena and draped her over his horse and tied the gnome up and then tossed him over the horse. "Go home..." He told the horse and hit the beast, making it run off in Neriak's direction."
"Let's get you fixed up... and this bothersome collar off." Loveless put a quick dressing over her wound and carried Keyra off.

Phelan put a reassuring hand on Tailu's shoulder.
"Your mother had something she had to take care of. She is a strong and honorable warrior. She would want you to come with us and be safe while a threat hangs over you. She will return to us soon, but for now we need to go the cabin." Phelan said with a smile.
"Father, what are you talking about? Why are we fleeing like cowards?" Aramis said.
"We are not fleeing like cowards! A tactical retreat is far different than running away, but only a fool remains in a fight that they know they cannot win. You have much growing up to do." Phelan snapped at the boy.

"Well what are we running from.... Zealott knows nothing out here, she has never been outside of Neriak." Aramis raised his voice.
"Daddy I'm ok, despite what he says.... he is scared." Zealott protested what he had said and stood in his face. Aramis jerked her close holding her robe collar.
"Aramis release her right this minute." Naldany started over to the kids.
"Uncle Phelan they should stop those ugly men are comming." Tailu said as she gazed down to see a few orcs comming.

"Orcs." Phelan said scrunching his face in disgust. "Why does it always have to be orcs?" Phelan mutter as he drew his swords.
The Orcs slowed their advance as Phelan calmly walked toward them with his swords drawn.
