'' Princess Adina, '' Niaco said as her widely eyes took in the young lion tribe female. `` I had heard that you were as wild as many of the younger teenager of the Realm. I just never thought to actually see you one day. ''

Adina backed more beside Ambrose the fur on the back of her neck opening raised as she hissed back at him, `` Ambree, who are the lowering weaponed females ? '' Adina 's eyes darting from the knight, to their mates back to Niaco.

Sighing, then shaking his promontory Saint Ambrose took Adina by the arm as he brought her before each. `` Princess this is Paladin Wrena, mate to knight Roth of the Leopard clan. ''

'' Paladin ? cousin-german I am unfamiliar with that term. '' Adina asked confusion evident on her face.

Ambrose nodded his head as he explained, `` there is not, nor has there ever been a title for a distaff knight. I therefore made one, all four of the knight's mates displayed the courage and skill evident in a knight. They helped to protect the palace and female monarch Niaco in the conflict. ''

Adina gasp as she fell at the paws of Niaco. `` I beg your forgiveness my pouf, in that armor it was surd to see that it was you ! ''

Niaco 's mouth dropped open as she looked to Ambrose a present moment then gently lifted the Whitney Moore Young Jr. female. `` You are to a greater extent than forgiven Princess Adina, one can hardly blame you for the misapprehension, considering. ''

bowing to Niaco again, Saint Ambrose then took Adina to the respite of the female. `` This is Paladin Cetana, mate to knight Gregor of the Cougar clan. ''

Adina bowed to Cetana and Wrena as she and Ambrose moved further down the phone line. `` I present Paladin Dawney, Paraguay tea to dub Gwayne of the panther clan. '' Dawney bowed to Adina as she and Ambrose moved to the last female. `` This is champion ... ''

'' Milee ? '' Adina stated with Brobdingnagian eyes, `` Is it really you ? aunt Trianna used to bring me to the palace. I remember you trying to get me to wear garb. '' Here Adina made a foul human face that had all of the female person chuckling.

Mileen reached out embracing Adina in a rough hug. `` It has been far too long my lamb Adina. I take it your brother is the sub-king now ? '' Adina only nodded about to speak when the communicator on the belt of Jankuis went off.

11 yoke of eyes turned toward him as he answered it. Ambrose started to nod when he held the communicator away from his ear. `` I believe that he wishes to talk to you mother. '' Jankuis said as he handed the twist to Ambrose.

'' full cousin ? '' Ambrose heard. `` Is she there cousin ? I went to bet for her and found her gone. It was only a half toton after I stopping point saw her. Then I remembered she 'd heard me guild Jankuis to assist defend you with the new low atmosphere ship we have. ''

Sighing Ambrose was about to resolve when he saw Adina mouth not to tell her brother, that he had n't seen her yet. Shaking his head no his eyes got spacious as she stuck her clapper at him ! `` I 'm here cousin. As is she, up to her usual tongue lashing. ``

Ambrose heard Typree groan then chuckle. `` For once cousin I am beaming it is you and not me. Though I suppose I will get the Lapplander after I have her dwelling house. I know that you do n't really have the time for her nor the female help. ''

Niaco walked up at that moment, `` Am I supposed to take that as an contumely or compliment ? '' She softly growled.

'' Really Ty, this over aggressiveness I still consider will go you to more trouble than you can handle ! '' Mileen said over Niaco 's shoulder, drawing a tacit giggle from Niaco.

'' Queen Niaco ! I meant no contempt ! I thought you and the king would be far too meddlesome. Was ... was that Mileen ? '' Typree asked in shock. `` I had heard that you'd gone. ''

Mileen turned toward her partner drawing her blade, `` you did n't say him ! ''

'' As you remember I was engaged with king Tomco when you were at the palace. For once you ca n't blame me ! '' Then he saw the half murderous spirit in his teammate's eyes. Sighing Thomas nodded, `` apparently you are going to find a way to blame me though. '' Standing his flat coat as his checkmate approached he lowered his principal as she started to swing at him. Suddenly he was on the solid ground as she fell on top of him kissing his face purring rather loudly.

Adina was rolling her optic as she looked away toward Ambrose. Suddenly her eyes were declamatory as she saw a lone bow man pointing at St. Ambrose. Grabbing half a shield she jumped behind Ambrose as the scape left the crossbow like bow. Roaring out she stood her ground as a moment later the light beam hit the half shield penetrating it with simplicity. Then it traveled on through into her upper shoulder almost all the way through that.

Niaco roared as several bowmen loosed slam hitting the lone bowman about twenty clip. Adina gasp as she turned and smiled at Saint Ambrose. Then looking at his Ilex paraguariensis and the other female person she tried to nod then fell forward into Ambrose 's branch. `` Finally, '' she said weakly, `` I did something worthwhile. '' Then her eyes closed as the infliction increased More than she could place upright.

'' I 'll call you back cousin-german, Adina has been shot with an arrow. '' Ambrose heard Typree head start to shout out as he shut the com off. Ambrose looked at his first cousin, the bleeding was bad substantial bad. He had to do something or she 'd bleed to last. Motioning to all the others he told them to take hold her still. Rapidly pulling the rotating shaft from her it was worse than he thought.

Sighing he looked at all those present except for two of his mates no one knew he could do what he was about to do. Growling fiercely he looked at all of them. `` Not a word of what you are about to see ! ''

Stretching his manus over her Ambrose growled as both his paws then his weapon system started to glow. Both Twitty and Glenna gasp as they both whispered, `` the antediluvian healing ! By the great feline ! You are the Prophesied one ! ``

The residual of those present could only look at the two females with questioning looks. Then they looked back at Adina she was still bleeding but it was finally starting to slack. Suddenly St. Ambrose roared louder as the glow started to locomote across the residuum of his body. Damn it ! Why was it taking so long ? It had only been about XXX years since he 'd cobbler's last used it. Then again he had failed then also. He had kept his mother alive long enough for his don to gain her. Then she had died happy in his arms.

rip were staring to hang from his eyes, mother ! I am so blue that I failed you, I should make died that day not you ! Why did n't you let me assist you ? Why did you push me away ?

Suddenly memories flooded back into his mind, < Stop Ambrose. You can not bring through me. I am sorry son that I wo n't be there to serve you with this. You are far too young to be doing this. Take the pain for me, there you go. I am proud of you my little cub, so very proud of you. Always know that I love you my love son, Always. Stop your male parent approaching. '' With that she passed a paw over little Ambrose 's head, trembling Ambrose had tried to heal her again greatly weakened by what he 'd done. Even as she pushed him away he 'd tried, smiling she shook her head no, then he was unconscious.

Growling harder Ambrose felt as if something broke free in him as he started to stream power into Adina. A few moments later they all watched in astonishment as her wounds rapidly healed. All of them were widely eyed as Adina started to cough then her eyes flickered clear looking around then up at St. Ambrose. She tried to weakly push Saint Ambrose away.

'' No Ambree ! period please ! auntie Trianna told me you had it, she also said you were too weak to do a broad healing. closure Ambree ! '' As she tried again to push Ambrose away as he smacked her paws away. Looking at the others she started to cry, `` Please stop him it will kill him ! He 's only done it once, it will pour down him he has to block off ! ''

'' Shut up Adina ! I am a the pits of a lot stronger than I was back then ! You stop this or we both might die ! '' St. Ambrose whispered back to her through taunting lips. It was hard he had to admit though as he had said he was by far solid than she thought. Besides if she was awake then she was almost healed.

Finally a specton and a half later Ambrose sighed as the gleam started to languish. Adina jumped up grabbing St. Ambrose as he started to fall back. dirt he thought he forgot it took so lots energy to do this ! `` Ambree, why ? I was glad to do that to protect you. It 's all I have wanted to do all my life. '' Here her header dropped as she started to cry. `` I ca n't even die right ! Just once in my life I wanted to feel as if I did something worthwhile. Now I 've caused you to queer who you are. '' Adina started to cry harder into St. Ambrose 's articulatio humeri.

Roth who had been talking to Twitty and Glenna approached. `` It appears that the king is still out of Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe a bit. I think that all of us should carry him to the palace. Do n't all of you agree comrade knight ? '' The former three looked at Roth with singular looks seeing his spirit of devout loyalty quickly nodded their assent. They were surely that if Philip Milton Roth approved they were n't about to doubt his reasons. Besides they all thought with a smile, they could beat it out of him later !

Philip Roth turned toward all the Paladins and queen regnant Niaco as they all gathered around Twitty and Glenna. He just hoped that what they told him convinced their mates as easily as it had him. Even as he watched all five of the females turned and looked at Saint Ambrose with seismic disturbance, then just a little fear, then was that perhaps a bit of pride ? By the great feline he hoped so or this was going to great real ugly veridical damn fast !

All of the horse picked up Saint Ambrose as they made their way to the palace. They all kept looking at their mates as they were in discussion further back from them. Growling the other three knights looked as if they were about to drop St. Ambrose and start beating on Roth at any moment. Roth explained they had to get St. Ambrose in bed first then he 'd explain. None of the other three were happy about that.

It was a toton later when Ambrose groaned trying to uprise from the bed. expect bed ? finally he remembered he was on the terra firma right after ... Turning his head he half expected to find a mob waiting to claim him. Instead he found 11 span of eyes that were watching him, well ten as Adina was asleep with her caput on the bed.

'' So even though we both knew, when were you going to tell us ? '' Both Glenna and Twitty said with large-minded smiles. `` It is n't every day we get to take on a aliveness prognostication ! ''

Groaning as he sat up, Adina awoke throwing her coat of arms around his neck. `` Why did you expose yourself cousin ? I.. '' Ambrose quieted her putting his paw gently on her lip.

'' I 'm sword lily I did Adi. '' Saint Ambrose said recalling the tyke gens he used to send for her. `` I finally remembered mother. I remember what happened that day. She did it to protect us, all of us. At that clock time it was only you, Typree, and mother that knew. '' Here fresh tears arose from his eyes as he again saw his mother dying before him. `` I tried to save her, I tried so hard she would n't let me. I was so weak I was only able to take the botheration, keep open her alive 'til Padre reached her. ''

'' I always wondered how she hung on so long. '' Roth said deep in thought. `` You father mentioned it once not for certain what to think of it, then never again. You do n't even realize what you did, do you mother ? '' Ambrose only shook his header no. `` You gave him a probability to say proficient bye. He did n't get a opportunity with his foremost partner. ''

'' Thank you Roth, just knowing that it helped her that much as well as father helps some. As soon as I can, we need to go after my uncle I think I might have a good musical theme where he might be. '' Then Ambrose groaned as he thought of Typree. `` call Jankuis I need to narrate Typree. ''

Jankuis appeared a few moments later as Ambrose groaned opening a groove. `` WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON ! '' Ambrose heard Typree cry as soon as the connection was made. `` You said Adina was shot ! public lecture to me damn it ! ''

'' She 's fine now not even a scar. '' Saint Ambrose told his cousin.

'' No scar ? cousin ? How many saw ? '' Typree immediately asked. `` I can hold soldiery there to belt down them if necessary. That is a cloak-and-dagger, and we like to keep that way ! ''

'' No ! It is fine my mates, my knights, my hero oh and Adina of track. '' Saint Ambrose told him.

'' hold you said no scrape ? You were able to do a complete healing ? Are you gaga ? ! Are you trying to die ! No one has done a full healing in almost a gallant ! '' They all heard him say in awe.

'' Well I have to accommodate it took a bit out of me, especially after she tried to push me away. Just like mother did. '' This last part was whispered almost too light for Typree to hear.

'' So she wiped it from you did she ? '' Typree said. `` That sounds so a good deal like aunt Trianna. You must have got panicked trying to fully bring around her. She knew that you would n't have stopped, that it would have killed you. No cousin she loved you too much I know, she saved you plain and simple even if it meant her death. '' They all heard a deep sigh. `` That was aunt Trianna by the great feline she was so proud of you. ''

Ambrose 's centre went full at what his cousin-german said. Then something Adina said suddenly sprang to his mind. Turning he looked at her as she gave him a smug facial expression. `` How did you know that I had done it before ? '' Ambrose said as he narrowed his center at her.

Her flavor got even smugger as Saint Ambrose 'heard'in his head, < `` all of us in the family have secret. Some of those though ca n't really be revealed to many others as there are n't many that have the same gift. `` >

Ambrose backtalk hung give, < `` fountainhead I 'll be damned ! `` > He thought then heard Adina pant.

< `` Tsk, tsk full cousin such language ! `` > Came Adina 's cerebration back to him.

All of the others were staring at the both of them especially after Saint Ambrose 's mouth dropped open a second time !

'' Uh, '' Saint Ambrose started. `` I think I am going to call for time ALONE. '' Ambrose said as he looked hard at Adina who started to frown then nodded sadly.

As they all left Ambrose spoke to Typree again. `` How long ? '' Ambrose asked

'' Ah so she pulled that shit on you too huh ? Almost all our animation though in your compositor's case Aunt Trianna hid them but I am surely she allowed them to spring up. Obviously she knew even when we were all small fry. Before you ask, I can hover all style of things. If what I suspect about you is true so can you. Just see what you want to rise or accrue then feel it 's weightiness, then finger that it has no weight. '' Typree instructed him.

looking across the room at a cup Ambrose thought of it, almost feeling it 's exercising weight. Then suddenly he felt no weight from it. A here and now later it started to float off the table. Pulling it toward him Saint Ambrose was amazed when it actually floated to him. `` Holy SOB ! ''

'' Ah ! You got it to get along to you. You are the one, it took me class to do what you just did. Let 's Leslie Townes Hope you ca n't do what father could. well, when you can get her back to me ok ? I know she has missed you the last few quants. Be well cousin I hope to visit soon. '' Ambrose sat there in jounce, by the majuscule felid he was a junky !

< `` I heard that full cousin ! We are by no means freaks ! `` > Came Adina 's idea.

< `` When I said alone I meant it ! If what your brother just told me is truthful I can hurt with this also. Would you care to encounter out ? `` > St. Ambrose growled.

Ambrose heard Adina whimper then he heard nothing else. Sighing Ambrose thought he was going to have to get used to it he guessed.

It was the future day when Ambrose was calling all of his knights and Paladins to the main toilet room. `` practiced everyone is here. After looking over all the troops that my bastard uncle sent I have a very upright approximation where he is hiding now. As all of you know there are 13 planets or sub-realms of the land. I remember that Conrad Nox bought a little moon of the sixth sub-realm of Talandia. Many that I saw on the struggle playing area appeared to be from there. I therefore am going to get hold of another force with me to finally end this. ''

All four of his horse were nodding as he started to outline several estimate for a plan of onset. `` I assume that he will be Sir Thomas More than well fortified. '' Gwayne asked a bit later to which Ambrose nodded.

'' You thinking of the last metre we went against the Talandrians ? '' Gregor spoke up. `` When we went in under cover version ? ''

Roth was nodding a moment then his eyes opened wide. Pulling a com from his rap he called Jankuis as the rest of them waited. `` Jankuis, is that Mandrian slave trader still in your donjon ? ''

There was a here and now of quiet then Jankuis answered, `` The last I heard he was, though I am afraid he 'll be of no use as Typree had his tongue cut from his head. I 'm sure you have heard that his highness does n't tolerate abuse upon the syndicate. ''

'' Yes, we have all heard thank you. '' Saint Ambrose nodded to Roth as he finished.

'' I believe I see the deservingness of this plan Philip Roth. We 'll reconvene after I 've had a opportunity to talk to my cousin. Now then as nothing can move forward for a time, shoes everyone. '' Ambrose ordered.

Adina watched as all present moved to either side of a path way in front man of St. Ambrose. `` Adina Maxor, Sub-princess of Mandria please present yourself before me. '' St. Ambrose stated.

Adina was shaking she had no thought of what she had done. Why was she being punished ? Then her middle got even bigger when her brother stepped out from behind the potty to stand beside St. Ambrose.

Standing in front of them she was at a loss, `` Please kneel Adina Maxor. '' She heard her brother say. Briefly looking up as she knelt she saw that her brother 's look was full of pride ? Ok now she really was confused.

bowing her head she heard Ambrose as he said, `` To all gathered here. Today we are here today to honor Adina Maxor, Sub-princess of Mandria. At risk of exposure to her own living she took a bolt intended for me. Said bolt nearly costing her life. '' Here Ambrose drew his sword touching it to each of her berm. `` Arise Paladin Princess of Xendra, Adina Maxor, Sub-princess of Mandria. '' Adina 's lip was hanging unresolved then a smug smile crossed her face, at least 'til St. Ambrose leaned forward whispering in her ear. `` Your steel breeding begins tomorrow ! ''
