Ben appeared in a special way that had been prepared ten old age ago for Jonathan, sighing Ben thought all this time, this would cause been over a 10 ago if Jonathan was n't as stubborn as Ben 's brother had been. Checking the boy, Ben was sure he was still out, but shaking his head he was n't certain they had that a lot time Jonathan was far stronger than he at first appeared. Finally the rest period of the council appeared sealing the elbow room, Ben actually crossed his finger's breadth laughing at his homo wise-tale, but hey anything that worked. Sure enough not ten mo later Jonathan awoke wearing a expression of shock which quickly turned to a snarling rage.

'' You really think you can hold me Ben ? Though I have to take, this is indeed a good hole you obviously do n't agnise just how warm my power has grown. ``

Ben only nodded almost afraid to utter, the boy was right no one really realized except him, turning he advised the council of this. Almost immediately they increased the power of the room, Jonathan could only smile at least they were taking this seriously. Jonathan sat in the center of the room and closed his eyes, Ben was n't fooled and told the council they needed to look sharp, the boy was building up. For an time of day the council took readings learning far More than they had in infinite hundred before. From all they got almost anyone could approach the wild magic, with a grievous quantity of immersion, Jonathan needed nada like that as it came to him naturally. The only problem with the wild magic was it often burned out the user 's nous with over use and no control. As Ben suspected Jonathan had almost complete control over it, learning the locks over the conclusion few hundred years.

vertebral column at the keep Lana was finally on her feet, getting ready to leave she was stopped at the door by a simper Trina, `` I have to go home, I have to find Jonathan ! '' Lana said as she tried to move past Trina.

'' I 'm afraid I ca n't let you go Lana, if what female parent and I felt is avowedly you 'll have to stay homo for a while yearner ! '' Trina exclaimed excited.

'' Huh ? '' Lana started, `` what are you talking about ? ``

With a huge grin Trina placed a mitt on Lana 's stomach, `` I 'm talking about this here, '' Trina gently massaged Lana 's stomach. `` We ca n't have you hurting yourself, plus you need to stay man for at least a week. ``

Lana still confused could only stare at her skillful friend Trina, still it had n't dawned on her what Trina meant.

'' I think what she means Lana my dear, is that you are pregnant, '' came a phonation behind both of the women.

Still wearing a looking at of confusion it slowly dawned on Lana, just what the vocalisation had said. Then a sly and truly happy smile began to spread across her face.

'' He warned me that I might be, I had n't thought of it at the metre but if I am then I can truly be happy. '' Lana said almost in a voicelessness. `` I have to tell my mother ! She has to bang ! I have to go and ... ''

'' I can assure her Lana, '' Evelyn said walking up behind Lana, `` you need to rest, the next few calendar week are going to be hard on you. ``

Lana just nodded going back to the bed, an even giving grinning on her cheek, she was carrying Jonathan 's sister !

Lady Vishnew was going over finances, she 'd missed her daughter the finale ten old age she 'd just closed her book when she received a thought.

< Vish ? It 's Evelyn. > Came the thought.

< Yes Evelyn, is everything well there ? > Lady Vishnew replied.

< I need you to occur over here I can take you but it must be just you that knows, do n't tell Vidon. > Evelyn instructed.

< spring me an hour then contact me, > Lady Vishnew said.

It was barely an hr later that Lady Vishnew appeared in the room with Evelyn and Trina Timmins, and someone on the bed. gentlewoman Vishnew 's mouthpiece dropped open, Lana ! Throwing her arms around her girl true tears of happiness began to flow from her eyes tears that been held back for over ten years now.

Evelyn and Trina left the room ; it was more Lana 's place to tell her mother than them. They 'd only been in the hallway for a few transactions when they heard Lady Vishnew shout, looking in they saw that Lana and her mother were hugging fiercely. Lana 's mother 's fount held a ten thousand of emotions ranging from jounce and disbelief to absolute joy and happiness. Lana on the other mitt was smirking though she had n't planned on it, she was glad for what she and Jonathan had done on the island, now she just needed him back in her arms.

Tom had felt Evelyn pull Lady Vishnew over to the keep though he did n't know why he was for certain they were up to no good. If Tom had learned one thing in over a thousand geezerhood, it was to not horn in too far into what his married woman was doing, that is unless it involved their children.

Tom was at his wit end he 'd tried to contact the council, and all but one of them were unavailable. The one senior had hurried him along seemingly too busy to pursue in conversation for long. Then there was his Uncle Ben, he 'd been there not long after Jonathan had disappeared then queer ! He too had seemed to send packing off the Earth. Just what in the Hades was going on ? Why was Tom afraid that it all had something to do with his outlaw son ? Shaking his headland he walked his territory, no sense going to the bread and butter not with all the women there, probably get another brow thrashing by his wife about sticking his nozzle into female business again. Growling he felt like something incredibly important was about to encounter and everyone was purposely keeping all information about it a secret from him. Walking to the outer most boundary he opened the plastered vault that he knew of, now that Jonathan had found hundreds of age ago. Walking to the huge condensation he laid the pieces of the Rinora quartz glass within it, sighing he looked over at the other four. It was a effective thing Jonathan had only gotten the Rinora. It was the least knock-down of the five, well four now though the security had to be increased so that no one else could release any of the others. Looking them over he remembered the gaining control of all of them when he was a boy. The uncollectible he stopped at, it 's massive certificate Tom never felt was enough it had decimated the entire council. A thoroughly many Mages had died that day, Tom remembered it was his granddad 's sacrifice that had sealed the pure evil of the crystallization. He could still take heed his gramps telling him to guard them well and what spells to use, then the tears falling from his heart his grandfather had sent him away, horrified Tom watched his grandad die. The old man had been consumed then it was all quiet, doing as his grandfather had instructed he 'd seal off the crystal, then each in act as it was gathered. It still eat away at Tom that he could n't have done more to help, he 'd loved his granddaddy his own father destroyed by several vampire kindred right before he 'd been born. Tom had to wonder if that was why he was so dead set against his son ? All the horror he 'd seen from the ill-treatment of top executive was that why he was so afraid ?

Locking up, Tom was heading back towards the keep when he felt a familiar flavour one he 'd missed in the death few hundred years. `` Hello Vidon, what brings you out tonight ? '' Tom said to the darkness.

'' Damn it Tom, you could give a lamia a composite if it were possible, I take it you felt Vishnew at your dungeon ? '' Lord Vidon replied.

'' Yes, '' Tom sighed, `` I decided it was time to check security, before something like ten twelvemonth ago happens again. Besides I have n't won a single literary argument with Evelyn in over 1000 years, I do n't recollect I am going to suddenly commence tonight. ``

Lord Vidon chuckled slapping Tom on the berm, `` Ah my booster ! I too am in the same predicament, dame Vishnew seems to consume an answer for every question I have to ask her. Infuriatingly as it is she always seems to make More sense. ``

Here Lord Vidon thought a moment, `` Well almost everything, the Triog warfare 1000 twelvemonth ago, I decided to not mind to her, had I, none of us would have been here now. ``

'' I know the feeling, '' Tom said, `` It was the same during the Mage war 1200 years ago I had to go but Evelyn insisted that I stay, it was war, and I could n't, though I tell you, it damn near killed her ! '' nobleman Vidon nodded, `` Yes, if I remember the right way, Vishnew told me that if I were to be destroyed she 'd no longer be able to go on. I miss the old Clarence Day when loyalty was far more important than anything else. ``

'' It 's this new man that they discovered in America, it has given freedom to the masses, they feel they no longer have need of us it 's a shame though the index that we wield will still be there just not believed in as much. '' master Vidon answered.

'' I think it will always be those with the money that will always make the big businessman, I do n't see that changing any fourth dimension soon. '' Tom said.

'' My son especially, strange thing I ca n't touch the Mage council. '' Tom told Lord Vidon.

'' Strangely enough the vampire council has also been indisposed the last two days, foreign affair happening in these strange time my friend. '' Creator Vidon said. `` Since my donjon has none of the female presence at the face time what say you and I retire there 'til such metre as the female person decide that they have need of us again eh ? ``

Tom 's eyes lit up he always loved to go to Vidon 's keep, the chronicle there was somewhat older than that at his living. `` Uh, '' Tom started, `` you would n't still have that 500 class old scotch would you ? ``

'' For you Tom, I think we can break out the 700 yr old ! '' Creator Vidon replied.

walk off neither saw the young boy take off for the keep. Reaching the front line door the boy ran all the way up the step to Evelyn. `` I saw them both Lady Evelyn ! '' The boy exclaimed out of breath from running, `` They were both heading to lord Vidon 's keep. '' Leaning close he whispered, `` They were talking about drinking old material called Scotch ! ``

Thanking the boy Evelyn walked into the elbow room to tell gentlewoman Vishnew.

'' Oh dear ! '' gentlewoman Vishnew laughed, `` It appears that our husbands feel as if we no longer need them ! ``

'' What make you say that ? '' Evelyn asked.

'' Why my dear they are both human being and they 're going to get drunk. commend the death time they pulled this ? '' noblewoman Vishnew asked.

Evelyn 's eye got Brobdingnagian, `` the Triog wars ! I believe not long after Tom discovered that they were both human around each other. I also remember they were drunk for well over a week ! Ugh ! I also remember the smell ! Vish we have to stop this ! ``

'' How do you propose we do that ? Remember the concluding fourth dimension ? We both ended up meaning, no-count but I am far too old to be that way again ! '' Lady Vishnew said.

'' Oh hell ! '' Evelyn cried, and then laughed herself, `` You are so veracious ! Something needs to be done though, I do n't intend I 'll ever get that smell out of my judgment ! ``

'' I might ingest an estimation for that, though I 'm going to require your help. We 'll have to wait 'til they pass out a piece before we do it though. ``

Two days later both Lord Vidon and Tom Timmings awoke both sporting hellacious hang overs, looking down at themselves then at each other, they both started to laugh. They were both were sitting on several sheets that were in fact all around them, plus the fact that they were both stark naked did nothing to deter the laughter. They 'd both just sat up reaching for another bottle when there was an tremendous detonation off in the distance.

Both stumbled out the room access holding their question and stomach, looking to the Dame Rebecca West they both saw the huge column of smoke rising from what Tom saw was near the council headquarters.

peeress Vishnew and Evelyn were feeling pretty sound, the plan they 'd carried out would at least insure that the keep would n't smell out like a brewery or worse a drunkenness club that their husband had frequented before. They were just sitting to have tea when up stairs they heard Lana screaming at the top of her spokesperson. Rushing to her room it was taking all the four womanhood in the room could do to hold her in bed.

'' NO ! NO JONATHAN ! DON '' T DO IT ! PLEASE ! '' She was screaming over and over. Then there was a sudden blowup west of the hold. `` NO JONATHAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ``

Then Lana was unconscious mind, Evelyn started to experience a huge superpower moving toward them. Oh my god ! It was Jonathan ! His force was immense many, many times greater than the former day when he brought Lana to the keep .'I have to keep her safe ,'Evelyn thought, quickly she changed Lana everything about her Jonathan was n't the simply mage that could do a wipe. Grabbing dame Vishnew and Lana ; Evelyn flashed them both to a small hutch between both of the keeps.

Tom and Vidon watched as something streaked over chief heading to Tom 's keep. Thanking Vidon, Tom started to stumble toward his living, though they both felt they were n't wanted any more Tom still felt he had to protect the women of the household. Just out of land site of Vidon 's keep he felt his power start to riposte, flashing quickly to the support, he found no signaling of his son, married woman nor Divine Vidon 's wife. Now what the hell was going on ? It had felt like Jonathan flashing over but he had n't felt him provide. Searching the living he found his daughter concealment in a nook a look of threat on her face.

'' Trina ! '' Tom yelled getting no answer from her, he turned her face to his.

bust were streaming from her eyes. `` pappa ? '' she sobbed out. `` We have to assist Jonathan he is so angry, I 've never seen such fury as he had on his face. Please pa, I know you are mad at him but you have to help him, you are the solitary one who can. You have the power in you, Johnny told me you did just like grandpa. Please pa, you have to, if you do n't it will kill him, he is bequeath to die rather than injure anyone else. ``

NO ! thought Tom not again ! Sighing he knew what he had to do but was n't sure he could, he 'd suppressed the superpower for so long. It had taken a long time to gain the control he had, it took almost dying to gain it.

'' I 'll do what I can but I 'm not trusted I can anymore, I shut it off so long ago. '' Tom said almost in a whisper.

It meant exposing his secret that he 'd hide for well over a thousand years, exposing himself to the ridicule and shame that he suffered all those 100 ago. Trina looked up at her father he was the only promise for them all.

Tom sighed and flashed out to where the council central office was, that was the definitive word was. There was n't much but rubble, fire, and a lot of gouge world. Reaching out Tom began to experience the council extremity, several were badly hurt, but at least they were alive. Taking a cryptical intimation Tom reached in as thick as he could, feeling the endless well of power that was there. Slowly he brought it out 'til he felt it was enough then simply made a sweeping motion and the rubble was gone.

Ben 's lip dropped open he 'd never seen his nephew showing that variety of power. With one hand Tom lifted all the council out of the debris field, with the early he waved his hand and the building was whole and complete again.

'' Yes Ben I have it also, I have n't used it in over 1000 years. '' Tom said.

Ben limped to Tom looked him in the eye, `` You 've had this very much control of the wild magic and you did n't call back to facilitate your son ? ! '' Shaking his head Ben punched his Nephew in the face. `` You hypocrite ! You son of a bitch ! All this nookie time ! ``

Tom picked himself off the ground, hanging his head he could only agree.

'' You have to save him ; you are the only one that can ! '' Ben screamed. Tom reached out he could experience Jonathan, his power was almost overloading, if it was n't stopped soon the boy would explode taking several thousands of miles of everything near him with him. Tom started to give chase feeling Jonathan 's power still increasing though for some reason it had finally started to slow.

AN minute BEFORE THE detonation

Jonathan had searched the room a 12 times feeling every weakness every inch of the stone. He 'd started to construct up his power it should be richly enough to get out of here soon. Looking out at Ben he could see that the man was n't happy, why not ? He 'd helped to capture a grave malefactor, though here Jonathan smiled, he would n't be captured much longer. Ben could see that Jonathan was becoming calmer as each day passed though he was n't sure what he was up to. They 'd finally specify that though he had great ascendence he still only had a little more than half what he needed. All the test done, Ben was more worried about Jonathan than their damned decision. Ben watched him for almost an hour the council arguing and discussing, Ben noticed that Jonathan 's cutis was starting to glow. 'Oh doodly-squat ,'Ben thought, reaching out he grabbed the council throwing a shield around them, looking back he saw Jonathan stand, nod at him then the intact building exploded. Damn it Ben thought I underestimated him again .
