Alan could get a line Hopix calling him, darn, she was so far away ! Fighting with every fiber of his being, Alan started to claw his way to the surface. Finally he opened his eyes seeing a aspect of love and worry on Hopix's look.


" Alan my making love you need to pledge this, you are far too rickety, please my love. " Hopix held a cup with a disgustful smelling brew in it. ‘ I've smelled that before,’Alan thought, ‘ when was it ? Ah yes back when he'd been on the Fairixie's sister world.’Alan tried to drink it as fast as he could ; again not realizing that one couldn't swallow the confection as fast as he was trying. cough and sputtering Alan was gasping for intimation as the foul olfactory sensation of it surrounded him.


Barely in a voicelessness Alan told Hopix, " My god adult female it's still as bad as it was before ! " Hopix smiled, Alan complaining meant that the brew was already coursing through his body helping to strengthen it.


" Alan, please don't go off alone like that again. I was assigned to assist you for a reason, you might have quite a lot of knowledge, but you don't know it all. " Hopix admonished him her slender hand on her hip as she gently wiped the excess from his lip.


Again starting in a rustling but growing secure Alan told her, " Hopix my love I realize this but you have to realize that if I was to lose you I might go insane, or worse putting to death everything in my way'til I calmed. I do not want to put you in trauma's way like that. "


" Alan Glanto ! If you weren't as debile as you were right now, I might have to, as you human race say on your planet, quetch your ass ! " Alan could swear there was steam coming from Hopix's spike.


Holding his sleeve and hands up in security, Alan didn't doubt she could plain his ass ! There was no way that he could ever hurt her. " My love I was only thinking of protecting you, I... " Alan started.


Hopix stood up with now both her hired man on her hips a look of wrath that actually had Alan shaking. " I was YOUR protector BEFORE you became as powerful as you have. I am a lot honest-to-goodness than you, I have been dealing with sour mages far longer than you think. shut me out of doing MY JOB again and YOU will detect out just how weak I am NOT ! " Alan was staring at Hopix a new respect for her in his oculus.


" I promise you I will not exclude you ever again my dear. " Alan told her a slight smile on his face. " You can contain right now old man I am sure Glimmer will have quite an castigation for you when we return. "


Merlin had tried not to, truly he had, but he'd finally started to laugh. It was intemperate to evidence who was the more cutthroat Hopix or Alan, though at the moment it appeared to be Hopix.


Hopix turned and coldly stared at Merlin who started into an even harder laughing fit. " I will deal with the both of you later ! " Hopix growled as she marched out of the room.


" To reply your question, yes, glimmering was that fierce, always in her love, her compassion and yes, also her irritation. I am surprised this is the initiative time you have seen it, at to the lowest degree you know what to expect. I was caught off guard the foremost fourth dimension after I was married to Glimmer. " Falco columbarius told Alan who was watching as Hopix's form retreated into the other room.


" I have to ask you merlin you have survived a prospicient time with little or no exponent. I used the orifice sphere to get nine of the lastly 17. I also got one that was trying to draw me to another realism ; that leaves seven. I am afraid that these last seven won't band together nor fire when another is fighting me. With all the deception you have I need serve getting them. I want this over, so I can take you and Hopix back home to the Fairixie world. " Alan told merlin feeling he was almost at the end of his rope with these idiots on this world.


" I do have a few prank but I think there are a few things that I need for you to learn. But the way you are right now, almost the integral planet can experience you coming. I think that is where we need to originate then I can possibly help you with a few matter that might help. " Merlin smiled it had been a long time since he'd had anything like a educatee it felt good, damn good !


Alan gave an exasperated yell as he'd failed again to do exactly what Falco columbarius had shown him. " hoot it Merlin I have been full tilt the unit time I have been doing this. How in the hell do you expect me to tune it down ? "


" Son, I am into the gamy levels now and I can do this, so I know it's possible. Here's something that might assist. Take a deep breather and as you let it out feel the power reduction in you, that's it another breath let your dead body relax let all the latent hostility flowing out of you. As you do this you'll feel you mightiness tier start to flatten, there you go better, better. See ? It wasn't that hard now was it ? " Merlin told Alan with a Brobdingnagian smile.


Alan's eyes snapped afford his grade were so low it was artificial, staying as calm as he could Alan could finger his levels even out but they stayed low. " This is amazing I never thought I could bring in them this low. "


" well to you they’re low, to me they are in the mid compass, but you are getting there. Compared to where you really are this is a major achievement. Now then let's study on a few to a greater extent before we rest ok ? " Alan nodded he was extremely happy he'd asked pigeon hawk to help.


It was two days later that across the planet two of the remaining seven moody mages received a process to the home of a third. The third was an friend of the outset two and had mentioned a architectural plan to destroy the gabardine mage that couldn't fail. When the third mention a repast of a Fairixie ; namely the one with the white mage they jumped at the fortune.


outside what could only be described as a murky swampland with a tumbling down hut in the middle the two dark mages appeared. " Trigafor ! We are here ! Where is this meal that you promised us ? " The marvellous of the two called reaching out he could experience the third but something strange was going on. Neither felt any early mage or power anywhere near, suddenly Alan appeared with Merlin and Hopix.


" So I see you came as I asked, " Alan told them as they both discovered that they couldn't leave let alone relocation. Alan waved his hand and the thirdly appeared a facial expression of extreme point anger on its expression.


" You are an ass Patrick Victor Martindale White mage ! Release me ! I will eat all of your soul before... " Alan sighed and clapped his deal as the 3rd screamed and was a squash puddle of form, blood, and bone. Alan was turning toward the foremost two when one actually broke justify of the spell that was holding him.


" Not so fucking powerful are you bitch ? " The one that got lose snarled shooting a frost spell of his own that hit Alan in his left arm. Cursing when the Tall putrid smelling homo frame iniquity mage started to laugh, Alan quickly shot another paralyzing spell toward it. Laughing again the dark mage face stepped the tour. Smiling Alan increased his buckler then shot more charm toward the dingy mage. " shucks ! Here I thought you were this all powerful white mage ! "


Alan started to smile even bigger making the sorry mage angry, shaking his pass Alan watched as his showtime three spells returned. Outraged the shadow mage stopped a import then whipped around just as the first gear go froze him solid. Alan breathed a sigh of relief as the next shattered the frozen form.


The terminal struggled also breaking free though this time Alan was prepare and fried the dark mage as he was making a move toward Alan. Alan shook his arm as he felt the feeling start to return to it.


" Nice move getting hit to fake the idiot out ! " The now familiar vox of the obscure council genius could be heard behind Alan. " I am so ready to fight you ! Hurry up and kill the last four, then I can have an existent battle with a worthy adversary. Here something to keep you warm. " With that the champion left and sent a ball of fire at to the lowest degree twelve understructure high toward Alan.


Alan felt this was dissimilar so he sent merlin and Hopix a little agency off. Erecting a wizardly water barrier Alan knew it wasn't enough but it would weaken it enough for him to squash it. As he thought the roadblock cut it by one-half then it was moving his way again. Slapping his men together Alan felt the ball of fire hesitate still trying to reach him. Alan put more than and more into it'til he was as high-pitched as he could go then he felt the ball of fire falter and flame out.


shucks Alan thought that was exhausting, there was a sudden rushing of air, and then the lightly council was there before him. " You have done a most marvelous job Alan, of the 100 wickedness mages and well over 300 apprentices that were here. There are only four dark mages left. Know this Alan though we can now come and go from here freely we still can not interfere. We are bad but as per the rules that were set down by both you and the dark council this is all we can do. You should also know that this is all the dark council can also do. " Alan nodded to the leader of the light council then they were gone.


Both Hopix and Merlin appeared a moment later, Falco columbarius had wanted cipher to do with the council especially now that he had as a great deal magnate as he did. " I want to thank you both for coming with me ; I think I should go after another if you two are up for it ? " Alan told them both.


" sin yeah, I'm game, " Falco columbarius told Alan.


Hopix was looking Alan all over making sure he was alright. " You sure you shook the full spell off that the darkness mage hit you with ? " She was asking looking even harder at his arm, hand, and articulatio humeri.


Alan leaned down to where she was bent looking at his ramification and running her script up and down then. ‘ Damn !’Alan thought, ‘ her mite is about to tug me nuts !’Grabbing both her hands sent a shock through both of them as Alan pulled her up to his level. " I have already checked myself, I am not seeing any of the Department of Energy left on or in me from the moody mage ok ? "


Breathing a sigh of backup man Hopix looked straight into Alan's oculus a facial expression of nil but love there. " I have to make sure my husband, " here she reached over and gently rubbed his crotch. " I have to make sure that you will be able to help me bear children ! My mom wants to be a nanna as she has always wanted to be. I have to keep you healthy my love. " Hopix demurely said.


Alan was on pin tumbler and needles Hopix's touch on his genital organ had damned near made him pass out ! What in the hellhole was going on ? Alan looked over at pigeon hawk who was nodding his head and had a immense smile on his face. Alan was sure now more than he had before, there must be something extremely peculiar about a marriage

between a human and a Fairixie. If her extra loving touch just now was any indication, he was in for a hell of a ride that was for sure.


Alan could hardly move after she let go with a petty giggle, then he made his self move, they had to end this and soon ! Hopix was going to push back him crazy at this rate as he was sure he was her. Taking a rich breathing spell Alan nodded to both of them then they all flashed out. A few miles away they appeared near a waterfall, the station was beautiful or was it ? Alan concentrated the place changed to a smog filled, polluted water, twisted and dying tree area.


" So you have come to face one of the strongest. I relish it there are so few to destroy now that bring true delight, come ! " A rolling voice came from the dark piddle. Then a animate being that seemed to be made of the filth of the place rose up from the muck.


Alan made a half hearted fireball that was extinguished in a arcsecond. Suddenly the wight rose in high spirits then fell upon Alan effectively covering him. Under the grime and muck Alan could see that this one was trying the same that the Mary Jane animal. Alan sent first a freezing enchantment but saw it was ineffectual, hmmm he thought. Suddenly an idea hit him as Alan began to flip his patch cold, water supply, high temperature, and electricity.


At world-class nothing happened, then there was a roaring scream then the intact creature started to tremble. Finally a vast fix broke open in front of Alan that was rapidly moving away from the hollow that he'd made. Screaming the fauna reached out, and touched the foul water and was whole again. Screaming again it started to twine around Alan's carapace. Alan just nodded and concentrated as he and the creature arose from the ground.


Within moments they were richly above the planet, " I was wondering if the vile pond was keeping you alive now we will see ! " Alan smiled as the creature turned and was at a deprivation as to where they were. Alan again hit it with the four spells in succession. This time the droppings started to dry and harden, with a last scream Alan pushed out and the creature exploded off him.


Appearing next to Merlin and Hopix Alan told them, " I suggest we move, what's leftfield of it is coming this way at a high speed. " Both of them nodded then they were standing a ways off, within instant it appeared to be raining mud. " Well that leaves three. What say we... " Suddenly there was a monolithic wave of piss moving toward them. Alan sighed they never learned did they ?


Alan set up a freeze barrier but he felt it wouldn't live on, the worse thing was these hold up four had used up quite a bit of his mogul. Alan looked at Merlin shaking his head, letting the man know he was a little used up. Falco columbarius nodded back, opened his own sens, and gave Alan as much of his power as he could. Alan was surprised that Merlin had as much ability as he did.


Alan recharged, watched as Merlin smiled then promptly passed out. A slight wicked smiling crossed his grimace as Alan suddenly increased the shield and started to walk toward the dark mage controlling this.


" It is of no matter Alan Glanto ! I have felt your might faltering, I know of your stored reserves they should be almost exhausted by now. " Alan heard a spokesperson thundering at him.


Alan smiled he had a short surprise for this ass ! Still advancing Alan suddenly increased the freeze consequence hearing the sour mage shriek as he tried to overcome Alan's attack. " Now you die ! " Alan yelled at the mage.


" No ! Your office was exhausted you had nothing Noooooooooooooo ! ! ! ! " with a final exam scream the dark mage was silent. Alan reached out not feeling that much from it, looking around the shell Alan saw the piss mage was frozen solid. Alan took a rock candy shattering the chromatography column of ice.


Grabbing Hopix and the unconscious pigeon hawk, Alan thought of the asylum. Three sets of centre had watched this last struggle of Alan. They too had thought that Alan was finished then he suddenly had an abundance of power. The three firm mages on the planet were more curious than a good deal else. The friend was half tempted to defeat the last two dark mages so he and Alan could finally experience the battle he was waiting a thousand years for. Shaking his head even he had to come the pattern of the dark council. Oh well the champion thought as he flashed out.


The last two dingy mages knew that Alan was coming for them next, their dark better half wasn't that far below either of them. They were going to have to set a cakehole it was the only way either of them were going to survive. They both agreed and left to set everything up to hopefully kill Alan Glanto long before he did them.


Fools ! The champion thought as he watched the finally two flash out then the genius smiled. They were playing right into Alan's hands the way the champion had seen him do affair those two should be dead in a couple of days. Well, he thought with a sickening tone of delight on his face we can desire can't we ?


Alan, Hopix, and an unconscious mind Merlin appeared at the front of the asylum. various Lobrits appeared helping to carry Merlin inside. It's a good matter Alan thought, as all the energy Merlin had given him was suddenly gone. Alan collapsed against the open door ineffectual to go another measure. Hopix had gone ahead and turned to severalize Alan something when she saw he wasn't with her.


Running back to the entering she found Alan trying to move further inside the incoming way. " Alan my love life what's wrong ? " A worried Hopix asked.


" The muscularity wasn't mine I was only borrowing it, once what I had to do was finished, it went back to its owner. I am not a dark mage I do not take and keep energy that isn't mine. " Alan gasped out as he tried to go another two steps. He really didn't want the door loose putting the Lobrits in danger.


Hopix started to yell as several More Lobrits came up the corridor and helped Alan to move further inside. Sighing Alan was glad as he watched the threshold close. These hoi polloi weren't the greatest but the still deserved a probability like everyone did. They barely got Alan in his cot when his eyes started to fill up.


" Thank you Merlin, that was dangerous. I am far higher than you ; my body could induce taken more than it did. " Alan told a now awake though slightly weak Merlin.


" I know my boy it's ok, as I told you before I have Thomas More john than you know. Now sleep we have a busy few twenty-four hours coming up. " Here pigeon hawk looked at a worry Hopix, " both of us. " Alan nodded then surrendered to the wickedness that had been creeping up on him.


Merlin motioned for Hopix to join him a import. " Yes, " she asked when she caught up to him at the spine of the sanctuary.


" My dear I have a monition, " here Falco columbarius reached into a pocket and withdrew a block not unlike the two that Hopix and Alan had.


The third power flashed a moment, and then a lap of light appeared in front of Hopix. " hello my dear, " Came the interpreter of Queen Glimmer. " I have watched all that I could. Hopix you have to assure him, you know the danger if you don't. You may be afraid that he will entrust you now, but if you wait it will be a tragedy. Are you that anxious to die ? After all that your mother went through saving the both of you, you are going to let this one mystery kill the both of you ? "


" I... I can't, not yet, it would be too big of a distraction to him. I am afraid that it would get him killed. " Hopix stated as tears began to fall from her eyes.


The queen's side softened as she looked at Merlin the first good look she'd had of him in a very long metre. " I had thought the Lapplander thing though in Falco columbarius's shell it turned out to be a vainglorious get-up-and-go. He tried to free all of the enslaved people. Then our humanity fell betrayed. Hopix tell him or you and many others will die. Your Brother is still waiting to get espouse'til he knows you are safe. "


" I know my queen I will try but not'til this is over, if it would help Alan I would tell apart him. I won't here'til I feel this. " A lachrymose Hopix replied.


" Alright my dearest but there is far more than just you and Alan to weigh. My love I have waited for you for so long you would be proud of you daughter Glimix she was so fearless when Alan was rescuing our world I was so terrified. I had thought of using Glimix to hide in to protect the spirit of our the great unwashed, and then I thought of Hopix. " Glimmer was telling Merlin.


merlin had tears in his eyes he hadn't seen Glimmer in so long. The attachment was there just as warm but they were so far apart it anguish in a way that Merlin had never felt. " It was the safe pick that you could realize my love I am happy that Alan saved you and the citizenry, so glad. I owe this man far more than I can ever repay, though I'll try. "


Hopix also had tears in her middle everything might end in the next few day. It was all up to Alan as it had always been. She just hoped that Alan took the tidings better than she thought he might. Taking a sigh she shrugged, Alan had reacted far differently than she thought he would quite a few fourth dimension.


Merlin shook his school principal at something Glimmer said. ‘ Yes,’he thought ‘ inkling was a inferno of a lot better judge of a soul than almost anyone he knew was. Yes,’he thought again, ‘ it just might solve ! & rsquo ;
