Kelnin and Nanlyr settle their differences (with violence).

The two elf soldiers fired a volley of arrows at Kelnin, he was stuck in the left shoulder by two.  He swore in Dark Elven, and leaped past the two elves and lanced at Nanlyr, who jumped out of the way.  The necromancer sent a necrotic wave that killed many of the trees and weakened the four elves, he laughed and teleported up in a tree.  Kelnin twirled the enderi spear around slashed Nanlyr's chest and face, he reeled back in pain, lashed blindly at Kelnin and embedded his sword in a nearby tree.  The elf guards drew swords and were about to fall on Kelnin, when the necromancer lanced all four of them with lightning, they fell to the ground, crackling, but then Nanlyr took out the orb and sucked the dark wizard's power out, Kelnin and the two elves poked him with spears.  The necromancer fell from the tree, covered in blood.  Nanlyr and the two elf rangers turned to Kelnin.
"Kelnin, you knew it would be foolish to come back here," Nanlyr motioned to one of the elves, who took out a blowing horn, "You came all the way back just because of a single necromancer?  I think we found the hero side of Kelnin.  But now-"  Kelnin cut him off by throwing his spear into the the horn, smashing it, and puncturing the throat of the elf about to blow.  He then lunged forward and snatched the orb restraining his magic, and smashed it on a rock, power flooded his veins.  Nanlyr took a step back, but Kelnin stunned both him and the ranger.
"Good bye, Nanlyr, you were always obnoxious and arrogant."  Kelnin took the fallen elf's sword.  But before he could kill Nanlyr, The planes fluxed again, and the three of them were hurled onto the Shadowmare.  The planar hop disrupted Kelnin's magic, Nanlyr grabbed his sword and slashed at Kelnin, who was distracted by the flux.  He staggered back from Nanlyr, holding his bleeding right arm, fortunately, he was left-handed.  They fought on the Shadowmare, then were carried to the Astral Plane, they floated in the silver night, blood suspended next to them, then to Therrkgr, the plane of chaos, they avoided bursts of fire and ice, waves of earth and aerolanches.  They were flashed again and appeared in a human city, furiously cutting and slashing at each other.  They stepped back from each other, dripping with blood, then they vanished and reappeared in Faelir Forest, the dead necromancer on the ground.  Nanlyr raised his  sword at arms length, his once pristine white suit spattered with blood and cuts, he stumbled, and Kelnin caught him on his spear.  Nanlyr gave a gasp, then died.

Evidence was found that Nanlyr had set Kelnin up, and that he had hired the necromancer so he could pretend to be the hero.  The Maledon House was put to shame.  Kelnin was returned to his true, elfin, complexion, and dirty-blond hair, also his powers, and returned to his house, Beurell.  Rose petals fell from thin air over the crowd as Kelnin was knighted as the Athnir by the High Priestess, his new wife, Lynia, prominent among them.  It was found out that the necromancer belonged to an order of mages from the Faeriedeep, the eldritch caverns and tunnels under Lorria.  Kelnin was requested to journey to Cho, the drow kingdom, and see what was reason for the heightened dark elf activity.  The new elf hero bade farewell to his wife and departed for the land of night.       
THE END, FOR NOW.
