Nikkii smirked as she stood up straight she checked herself over then felt something warm running down her side. This made Nikkii look again.
"My ... blood?" She said seeing her hand. Nikkii chanted her root spell once more on Phelan then a second spell. This spell was seen before many years ago when Naldany attempted to overthrow Nikkii the first time. The floor started to bubble and Darlena ran forward to try and stop the spell but Nikkii finished it and fire erupted from the floor engulfing Phelan in fire breaking the spell once more. Phelan yelled in pain as his skin burned Naldany casted an ice spell on him to put out the lycan spell while Darlena attacked head on the brands taking their toll on her until Darlena started to chant.
Nikkii's eyes widen and casted her largest healing spell the blue light was nearling blinding as the color mixed red with Darlena's life draining spell. Blood spashed the walls of the hall and now Darlena and Phelan was down, Nikkii was tough and still very winded and about to collaspe as her magic was now depleted. Naldany and Aramis remained standing he had the advantage as the root spell faded on him.
"So mother shall we continue this...." Aramis held a ball of fire in his hand.
Naldany readied her staff and started to chant.
" Well I see we missed out on the party .... but the gem we came for is still intact .... mostly." the human said dropping the attendant on the floor.
There was five of them left and they walked by Naldany and Aramis and stopped at Nikkii. The man struck Nikkii knocking her unconcious, the others picked up Darlena and Phelan while the leader took Nikkii over his shoulder. Aramis stood there as they left leaving him in what was left of the church.
"She can't live let me finish her." Naldany demanded following them out.
Once they was out in the courtyard they opened the gates to see the lodge gaurds outside but taking little interst with them as they passed them up to go inside. Infront of the Fenn'dal court gate was the portal back to the village. Once they all was thought and back into town the humans carried Nikkii over to one of the now vacant cabins and bound her hands, feet and gaged her mouth. This made most of the villagers very uncomfortable seeing that woman again.
Harun'ana immediately started to treat Phelan's burns as he started to come around.

Olantar walked in and knelt beside Phelan as Harun'ana healed him. Phelan's body shuddered, he felt as if he had fire poured over him and then suddenly was submerged in ice cold water. As quickly as the wounds had appeared in the battle they were gone. Phelan sat up and looked to Olantar.
"How are you feeling m'lord?" Olantar asked.
"Tired, Olantar, Tired. Did you get the childeren home safely?" Phelan asked.
"Yes, safe and sound. Now what m'lord?" Olantar asked.
"Take a count of who survived and make a list of the dead. We will build a statue in honor of their sacrifice for this community and what it stands for. We also will need to build some gallows for any prisoners we have taken." Phelan said.
Dantherian entered the cabin next.
"Is there anyone in serious condition? I can heal the person in most dire need." He said.
Phelan didn't know, he hadn't even noticed that there where other people in the room other than Olantar.

Harun frowned at the elf and wanted to say something hateful towards him but held her tounge and went to Naldany. Harun slowly pulled back the robe to see the extent of the damage done by the counsil. She crindged slightly trying to clean away the blood, the lashes was deep and jagged.
"We took one prisoner a girl that didn't look like she belonged there." Dantherian said watching the dark elf cleric work.
"It is Andrea my'lord... the humans have Nikkii captive a few cabins down. She is unconcious right now and her magic is gone for the moment but they haven't let me or any of our guard near the cabin. And it bothers me on their reasons for keeping her she is still dangeous." Olantar said.
Harun started to heal Naldany's back, the blue light lighting the room in blue. Dantherian grasped Harun's hand making her stop.
"DON'T YOU TOUCH ME YOU FILTHY WOODELF!! "Harun jerked away from him.
"I was just going to tell you if you go too fast she has more of a chance of scarring and I'm sure she would not want that." Dantherian explained watching the light spread and the wounds started to fade. "You see you already had enough of your healing on her."
"Oh shut up." Harun'ana went back to Phean and tried to pull at his collar only to have her fingers burned.
Elindar came in and smiled. "So she couldn't remove that either... Darlena is sleeping and I couldn't get that collar off..."
"My'lord I'll go to see about those numbers you asked for." Olantar said getting up to head out.

"Thank you, but it's ok for the time being." Phelan said to Harun'ana. Phelan turned to Naldany.
"What are we going to do with your mother? Is there any way to make sure she will not be a threat if the Humans take her?" Phelan asked as he put his arms around her.

Naldany thought for a moment then looked at Phelan. "Get me her jewlery most of her power and resistance magics are magified by them. Especially the talisman of Lujia, the gypsy one that she got from the hunters, I'll wear them."
Elindar raised an eyebrow hearing that comment, it didn't set right with him. "Are you sure that the power from them won't corrupt you? "
"No I should be able to handle her things, honestly how hard could it be?" Naldany said.
"I'm just concerned that the increase in your abilities that are already impressive could go to your head is all. Now we should look at our next problem with is Keyra.... while you was gone she was seen in Tethelin stealing from the shops and injured a few of the people. I have to go attend some bussiness there over the matter and I'll be back as soon as I can. " Elindar picked up his swords and smiled before leaving.
The humans had Nikkii tied up and laying on the floor one of the men splashed some water on her waking her up. Nikkii jumped and tried to stand up but then realized she was a captive and out of Neriak.
"Well hello there priestest..... Our boss has need of you. Don't be angry with us your life was spared in order to help him do something that I'm sure your people would want." The man said as he knelt down before her. Nikkii rolled her eyes and started to look away from the man.
"Yes.... we plan on taking away the elves divine protection and diminishing the powers of those that worship the goddess of light." He said with a smile.
Nikkii looked back to him thinking of the chance to regain her status in the eyes of the counsil.

Naldany looked at her hands for a moment then got up. "I'm going there now before they decide to take her off. I can handle her power I've studied her for years and she taught me so my'love I think I'm more than able to posses her jewlery." Naldany headed out before Phelan fully stood up.
"Wait !" Phelan shouted running out behind her.
Naldany focused on the cabin the humans occupied a few stood out on the porch while a the other two was inside where Nikkii was. Olantar quickly stepped up bringing a few gaurds and Jalivara with him and stood ready next to Phelan and Naldany.
"What do you elves want? you got what you wanted didn't you?" One of the men asked standing up putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Both Phelan and Olantar did the same preparing for a fight when Naldany stepped up.
"I want to speak with my mother...... and your going to let me do so." Naldany said.
"What if I say no?" He said starting to laugh and move toward her as the other two men went to back him up. Phelan moved so fast that he had no time to react and before he knew it her was on the ground with Phelan holding his sword to the man's neck his fangs showed as he fought to keep himself calm. Olantar had his sword drawn towards the other men if they threaten to interfere as Jalivara had a spell ready to be cast at the other man.
"Easy now friends...." The human's leader stepped outside. "Now we're all friends here, please miss go on in .... but you must go alone."
Naldany nodded and went in past them. Inside Nikkii sat in the corner her hair slightly wet. Nikkii rolled her eyes once she saw Naldany, but Naldany didn't care as she knelt infront of Nikkii.
"Oh how you have fallen...... I come here only for the jewlery you wear, and to bid you good luck on what ever they have instore for you." Naldany said.
Nikkii started to mumble something but the gag on her mouth made it impossible to understand. Naldany frowned and pulled it from Nikkii's mouth.
"Stupid girl...... what did you accomplish but making us all a laughing stock. They will come after you for this ..... the upper houses, your husband allowed our most hated enemy into our city and ruin my church.... the city's church. And now you want my power? Your no different than me..... and neither is your toy of a husband." Nikkii said looking into Naldany's eyes.
Naldany slapped Nikkii and started taking the rings off her fingers and then her bracelets, she placed them on her own hands feeling the surge of energy from Nikkii's jewlery. Then she started to unfasten the necklaces on Nikkii, but Nikkii smirked and chanted a spell quickly. A quick flash of light filled the room and as the light faded Naldany punched Nikkii unconcious as the men ran in and pulled the charms from Nikkii's neck.
"Whats going on in here?" the man asked.
"She attempted something and I had to stop her." Naldany said placing the jewlery on her neck. She then kicked Nikkii and started back out the door. " Do with her what you want." Naldany's voice changed a bit as did her eyes.
"Let's go...." Naldany said passing Phelan, them not knowing Nikkii had just pulled another fast one on them.

Naldany seemed different and it wasn't because of the jewlery, she seemed to be lost and looking around as if she had never been there before. She looked back at Phelan and smiled before walking back to him and taking him by the arm.
"Lover? Can we get something to eat?" She asked.
Olantar and Jalivara looked at eachother puzzled for a moment. "I'm a bit new here but does she act like this normally? I mean in the counsil chambers she looked so very troubled and now she acts like nothing has happened at all like she is hiding something." Jalivara whispered to Olantar. "What about that boy we left?"

In neriak Aramis watched as the troops scavanged through the church and carried off survivors of the house. The elves and humans bodies was placed in a pile, all Aramis did was walk about confused his grandmother was kidnapped and sister and cousin taken back. Aramis went to look for who was in charge of that group and saw Zinthel standing outside directing them Aramis went out to meet him.
"Why didn't you help? My father took grandmother and both my sister and cousin...... I thought you was our friend and you waited out here and let him leave." Aramis went to hit Zinthel but his bodyguard stepped in and shoved the boy to the ground.
"She should have sent out for help I thought she could handle things, the counsil has been attacked as well so we could not spare the time .... I'm sorry." Zinthel said helping the boy back to his feet. " I can't fight off two lycanthropes of that level of strength. Neriak will need a new denouncer, and your the only one left from the O'seths so I will take you into my house until you are groomed enough to perform the duties of grand denouncer.... two of hazernak's denouncers will be summoned to train you as best they can you might remeber them since they was students of your grandmother."
"I want revenge and I think I know how to go about doing it..... I want to go to Seriak ..... I was told of a way to get stronger and I wanna see if there was any truth to her story." Aramis said.
"Well I will take a few days for them to get here so I don't see a problem with it..... but you will not travel alone." Zinthel said

Phelan held Naldany at arms length puzzled by her behavior.
"What is wrong with you?" He said wrinkling his face in confusion.
She looked lost and she had never called him lover before, ever.

"Oh don't look at me like that..... we should be having fun right? The humans will take Nikkii away and the girls are with me.... I mean us. And I have mothers jewlery so my power has grown quiet a bit... So where do we get some food or should I cook for my lover?" Naldany said moving closer to Phelan.
Olantar raised an eyebrow at what she said and Phelan felt a chill from this Naldany. Naldany had no cooking skill and now she was offering to cook for Phelan. Olantar wanted to go for his sword but what if he was wrong..... maybe it was just the jewlery, or that wasn't Naldany.
"Well...... lover what did you have in mind?" Phelan also had his own doubts but played along.
"How about a nice slab of cooked boar with a few sides and then we can have our own celebration." Naldany said while Phelan saw that her eyes was now red like Nikkii's "Now walk me home." She took hold of Phelan's arm and leaned up against him.
"Jalivara will you help me protect Lord Phelan.... even if it means having to do harm to a potential imposter?" Olantar asked.
She nodded and took his hand much to his his surprise. "Yes... I will help so long as you will have me here."

They watched as Naldany started on ahead and up to one of the cabins.
"Naldany that's not our cabin ..... Are you ok?" Phelan asked now he was certain something was wrong. "Naldany, I have something to ask you."
Naldany spun around and smiled at Phelan as she came back and kissed him. "What is it lover?"
"Naldany on our wedding night where did I take you after your grandfather punished you ?" Phelan asked.
Naldany paused for a moment then hugged Phelan holding him tightly. "Why we went to the inn on the river where mother met us."
Phelan frowned and in a quick motion had Naldany by the throat. She was trying to pry his grip from her as Jalivara and Olantar came to his side.
"My'lord please tell me you haven't lost your senses.... you going to kill your wife." Jalivara started to reach for Phelan's hand but Olantar stopped her and moved her back.
"This isn't Naldany.... she knew that we went into the forest. " Phelan said tightening his grip. "Right Nikkii?"
Naldany's hand's started to glow and a burst of magic split the two from each other. "You should had continued to believe I was your wife boy.... Life would have been so much better, fight me now kill this body if you must but Naldany will bare my looks and in a way I will still be in your life. " Nikkii gloated revealed now that she switched her body with Naldany.
"Olantar go back and get Nikkii's real body from the human's, tell them what has occured and I'm sure they won't stop you... Jalivara I want you to wake Darlena."
"Yes My'lord, right away." She set off as she was told.
Nikkii prepared to cast one of Naldany's spells the jewlery boosting the damage of the spells. Fire rocketed at Phelan but he rolled out of the way intime to avoid her attack and dash toward her before she could cast again. Thankfully Nikki was not so quick at casting elemental spells Phelan grabbed her hands and slung her to the ground and pinned her there.
"This body is so much weaker than my own..... surprising for it being much younger keep it up and you'll bruise me." Nikkii said in defiance.

"Awww poor baby Nikkii." Phelan mocked. "You practically begged me to be rough I don't know how many times before?" Phelan asked visciously as he clammped his hands down tighter.
Phelan felt the beast groping to the surface of his mind, the rage he felt was spiraling out of control.

The collar glowed and pulsed before delivering a shock to Phelan relaxing his muscles but not enough for Nikkii to free herself in Naldany's smaller body.
"So are you going to take me right here in the open." Nikkii giggled. "We are married after all or to everyone else we are after all I'm in your wife's body."
Phelan squeezed her wrists harder making her flinch a bit then Olantar was soon back at their side with what was now Naldany in Nikkii's body. Naldany was just as confused looking at her hands until she saw Phelan on top of Nikkii as Nikkii posistioned herself to make it look as if something else was about to happen.
"Phelan what are you doing... That's not me!" Naldany started to pull Phelan off. But Naldany felt weird physically stronger and mentally but her magic was different uncontrolled. Darlena and Jalivara was now walking up as well.
"Well if you think I'm done for think again boy." Nikkii said smiling.

Darlena shook her head and guessed as to what had happened. " So Phelan must be holding mother down right?"
"Yeah... She is up to her old tricks again." Phelan said
"Change us back, I have no desire to remain in your body and go with those humans what about Zealott?..." Naldany asked kneeling down.
The humans had now came up as well as a few U'dedne gaurds, suddenly Harun'ana ran over to them sweat dripping from her forehead. Dantherian was carrying Zealott out and layed her down near them.
"She came into my room looking for you and she began to cough up blood and collasped at my feet... I .... I.... I tried to make her better using my cure spell and it had no effect then I casted my strongest heal spell and she continued to get weaker." Harun shook as she spoke she felt powerless seeing the child begen to fade.
Naldany was over Zealott panicing as the girl's life slipped now a trail of blood trickled from her mouth.
"Phelan.... Release me now." Nikkii demanded. " I know whats wrong and how to fix it but you must first get off me.
Phelan repressed his anger as he thought about Zealott and how this could be another trick. But after a few moments he let her up, and not waisting a moment Nikkii went to Naldany and chanted that spell again and in a flash of light they was back in the correct body. Nikkii tore the girl's shirt off and placed her hand on her, Naldany started to remove Nikkii's jewlery she had on.
"Keep it my child.... Soon I'll have no further use for it." Nikkii said perparing a spell. Darlena's eyes widen once she realised what Nikkii meant but before she could move Nikkii rooted her in place.
"Please leave if you are not immediate family ...... This is not for your eyes. " Nikkii said.
"Are you seriously going to do this mother? I never thought you would do this for any of us..." Darlena started yelling.
Nikkii smiled and rubbed Zealott's head, now even Naldany figured it out. "Wait .... I have so much to still learn from you... Can't you save her without giving you own life?"
Phelan was shocked to hear that, would she give her life for a child this woman who behaved so selfishly.
"You girls have grown into strong women and there isn't much more to learn from me, besides I have buried enough children in my time.... your brothers.... Adaun..... This is something I hope you both never have to experiance.... To Bury your own child, so listen to me this final time, don't let Aramis slip away.... Right now I'm certain Zinthel will training him to replace me and making him serve the J'narus house." Nikkii began her spell bright blue light surround them both Nikkii's hair slowly faded to silver as Zealott's became red.
"I been living on borrowed time since I was her age, if not for a dwarf I would have perished from this very illness, so this is perhaps the best end I could hope for and atleast I'll know she will grow up strong ...... as well ...... I love you all......." The light faded and blood started come from Nikkii's mouth and ears as she fell silent beside Zealott the root spell broke from Darlena as both the women went to Nikkii side. Zealott awoke now her hair was like Nikkii's use to be
"Gandmother?..." Zealott said looking at Nikkii's body, Naldany turned Zealott's head while Darlena checked Nikkii.
"She's...... gone" Darlena said tears rolling from her face.

Phelan was beside himself. Tears began to well up in his eyes also and he said a prayer for her to karana. Never would he have expected such an act of compassion from her.
"Why... why...?" was all Phelan could get out in hoarse voice.
He just couldn't grasp why she would do such a thing.
