"Let's go Keyra." Phelan said shoving her forward. "It's amazing how self preservation makes temporary allies from foes." Phelan said with a chuckle as they walked through Neriak.
Aramis looked at him with a sidelong glance, not really listening to his father.

" Have your fun now but I will have my time soon enough.... your laughter will turn to sorrow." Keyra boasted.
Olantar shoved her to keep her moving. Gaurd from other houses smirked at the sight of the bound elf being escorted and a few laughed. Once they was outside the city entrance Keyra started towards her lair.
"I see the baby there is really comming along.... if i was to get free he might be a snack.." Keyra smiled
"I'd like to see you try... your weaker than me now monster." Aramis fired back at her.
"I might be limited but I don't need my strength to over power you..... I like you more and more too. We have alot in common you know." Keyra commented.
"Keyra how far till we are to your hiding place." Olantar interupted.
Keyra took an extended pause before she answered him. "It's near the halfling territory.... and away from your kind."
"Where girl.... no more games." Olantar twisted her arm.
Keyra winched in pain. "The wailing tree...... it's under it."

"If you are lying Keyra, you will die. I know that you are not the only one in Norath with a cure, I have plenty to persuade, purchase or barter with. Again I give you mercy when you deserve nothing, but death by giving you a chance to right your wrong." Phelan said glaring at her.
Phelan's eyes glowed bright red over powering the blue irises of his eyes. Keyra tried to meet his gaze, but tore her eyes away from his stare. Aramis smirked and Olantar looked at Phelan with concern.

"Killing me wouldn't bother me much.... so many probably waiting to get me on the other side.... maybe my cu.." Keyra cut herself short and thought about what to say next. "Ok.. mister hostility how long will that take, weeks .... months. By then those women will not be sane enough to know their own names..... <giggles> Then who would be crazy then?" Keyra walked a little infront of Phelan quickening her pace.
Aramis' thoughts dwelt on what she had been saying and that his father told him to ignore her. But, her ramblings had gotten to him and his curiosity overwhelmed him.
"Hey you elf...... who taught you how to fight as you do?" Aramis questioned.
Keyra laughed hard and looked right at Phelan as she turned to the boy stopping her movement. "I told you we have alot in common.... I was trained by the woman you call grandmother, and you act like me when I trained under her as you do with your daddy."
Olantar spun her around and pushed her forward. "Keep moving... you don't get to socialize."
The other gaurd behind them seemed a bit intrigued by what she had said and some raised their eyebrows.
"Aramis I could train you...... You could be as angry as you want... " Keyra said trying not to look back. Keyra then caught the scent of humans and stopped again. "Untie me...... now."

Phelan had been about to knock her out cold until she demanded to be untied and he laughed. "I think not, you will be let go once we have what we have come out here for. No matter what. You don't seem to understand that you are a prisoner, not to mention that you have no real leverage."

"Well your not understanding... humans are close by.. I smell them." Fear started to replace her confidence.
"Just humans... no threat to us."Olantar scoffed.
"Not to you but will want to slay me.... they stink of the marr.... HUNTERS!!" Keyra kneeled down and started straining herself to break the rope but the collar glowed again and strangled her, causing her to choke. "Please let me go I swear I will honor my deal but if they get me I'll be tormented and purified."
"Ha so elf you do have a fear.... Now I see your weakness." Aramis went to kick her but Olantar held him back.
Keyra looked for pity in their eyes and was finding none. "This isn't right .... Those hunters are without mercy and would kill innocent children. Phelan..... wasn't it Olantar.... I never killed children, the hunters hands are stained with their blood. My home isn't much further.... but please give me a chance to defend myself."
Keyra pleaded to them Olantar jerked her upand pushed her forward.
"Aramis... listen to me I can teach you too, just untie me."

"Either you will continue moving, or you will die here." Phelan said his eyes blazing even more now.

Keyra walked on ahead and changed her form to that of a darkelf. All was silent with them except for the noise of the bugs and wildlife. Aramis started to become more facinated with Keyra and her ability and where she learned her style of fighting from. Even if half of what she said could be true, so he did what any curious child would do.
"Elf... did my grandmother teach you that ability and did she really teach you how to fight?"
Keyra was shocked to her that she had got her claws into his head and she wasn't gonna let that slip by. "Yes she did .... I wasn't much older than you when she took me in and taught me some minor spells and swordplay."
Phelan was about to silence her when two humans came into view with what appeared to be a kid about Aramis' age. They took a few more steps and another Dark elf appeared to their right soon after and elf to the left.
"This area is off limits... by order of the hunter of Marr." The man said. He appeared to be a knight and beside him a female warrior and a female half dwarf kid. Both the elf and dark elf had their bows ready to let an arrow fly.
Olantar stepped infront and the gaurd posistioned themselves around Phelan, Aramis, and Keyra. "Move aside we have bussiness here and you are keepng us from it."

Phelan was tempted just to turn Keyra over and go find someone with the cure. It would be far easier.
"Olantar, please. Hello, my name is Phelan O'seth. We are escorting our prisoner here to freeport for questioning. We merely wish passage through this place, we have no quarrel with you." Phelan said in a friendly voice.

"Ah so a fugitive is it? Well I am the man of the law myself perhaps we might assist your escort thru the off limits area." He shealthed his sword an slung his shield on his shoulder. The woman's eyes widen and her jaw dropped. "Sir John he said O'seth did he not? That's the name that priestest had...... the one harboring the red streak lycan. Sir John rubbed his beard and thought for a moment before he spoke. "Well Mister O'seth... I will have to beg a moment of your time... You are of relation to a Nikkii O'seth? And if you are we demand that you turn in a wanted criminal residing within........ wait a second...... Phelan? You assisted in a murder of several hunter in freeport twelve years ago. Seize them!!!!" He redrew his sword and shield. The warrior and half drawf redied themselves. Olantar motioned to the gaurds and they attacked the elves, Keyra started looking for a way to escape and ran towards her cave, Aramis took off right behind her.

Phelan drew his swords in a flash and hurled one straight threw Keyra's leg. Phelan spun back to face the hunters that were advancing with caution.
"Come now gentleman, that was 12 years ago, surely there must be a limit to how long one can hold one accountable?.... Olantar after Aramis now, she will kill him." Phelan said.
"Phelan, you should surely know better than trying to talk your way out of this." Said their leader as he slowly moved in.
"Well that elf woman that just ran off, that is Keyra, the devil elf. She has blackmailed my family, I will help you dispatch her though." Phelan said worrying about Aramis.

"Keyra, as in Keyra Windleaf.... she was reported to have been dispatched many years ago in the frozen north." Sir John stated moving forward. The dwarf girl took off after Aramis before the other woman could stop her. "You say that was Keyra.... that was a dark elf not an elf.. and how was you blackmailed?"
He stopped right infront of Phelan and motioned for his hunters to stop. "We have a great deal to discuss you and I.."
Keyra's leg burned from the pain and her movement slowed greatly.
"Where are you going... elf?" Aramis shouted as he caught up to Keyra.
"Don't you want to cure your mommy? .... I need to get into my home, the cure is in there." Keyra smirked to herself. "Untie me so I can move faster and you can help Phelan."
"He told me not to listen to you.... your comming back with me." Closing the distance he stopped her by grabbing her hair.
"Yes and I can understand that, but could you remove the sword at the least... your waisting time and his is at a disadvantage. Keyra tried to ham up her injury.
"I suppose .... no funny bussiness." Keeping a firm grip of her hair he pulled the blade from her leg. The wound started to heal but it would still be sometime before it was healed.
"Now look out behind you...." Keyra said smiling.
Aramis spun barely avoiding the Half-dwarfs attack.
"You criminals... I will punish you for your crimes against the light." She swung her hand axe at Aramis again and again, Aramis avoided them all and used Keyra's swords to put the girl on the defensive. And while this was going on Keyra began crawling away reaching the entrance of her cave. She pulled an lever and traps she had placed inside became active.

"Look, after we make sure my son is safe I will have a disscussion with you. I'm sure that Keyra, yes the same one you have named, is in her lair by now. I'm going after my son and I will kill any that touch him, I perfer this to be peacefull though." Phelan said as he sheathed his swords and started off after Aramis.
"Wait!" Sir John exclaimed catching Phelan by the sword belt.
Phelan undid the buckle and didn't miss a step.
"I will come back to talk when I have my son!" Phelan yelled. "Guards, stay here and defend yourselves, but do not attack." Phelan said over his shoulder as he sprinted forward.
Ahead of him he could see Olantar rushing toward two people fighting. Phelan was gaining on him, since Olantar was in his armor. Phelan elected to forego armor as usual. He came upon the scene as Olantar did.
Aramis was running through the drills that Phelan had taught him and he executed them exsitely. The Dwarf was on the defensive and backing up. But Phelan, a seasoned vetran could see that she was lulling the boy in a false comfort. Olantar saw it too and rushed in from behind at the Dwarf.

Aramis felt his advantage and he thought he was totally overwhelming the small fighter. Aramis kept up the pressure till he caught a glimpse of the dwarf kicking a few rocks under his foot as he brought it down. Instinctively he went to draw his foot back, but caught a face full of the girl's shield. She jumped on his chest and was poised to bury her axe into his chest, but her hand was stopped by Phelan. Phelan lifted her off and tossed her aside, but before she could get up Olantar had his sword to her throat.
"Don't move girl." Olantar said coldly.
"Unhand my apprentice.... " Sir John said comming up behind them.
Aramis stood up and handed Phelan his sword he took from Keyra. "She said she was gonna help us father... I took this out of her leg....... Where did she go?" Aramis scanned the area looking for her.
"Blasted she tricked me..."

"No worries son." Phelan said. "Now sir, we can talk." Phelan said spinning back to Sir John.
