St. Ambrose and his party moved swiftly back into the boundary of Tikal. As they approached the B. B. King and his men the king breathed a suspiration of relief.

'' We are glad to see you back amongst us Almighty. Many of the men were afraid that you might have abandoned us and our city. I assured them that you had a plan to write nigh of the city. It did n't help that you were gone as long as you were Lord. '' The king told them.

Ambrose nodded then stood before them, `` as I said before I am here for a few Thomas More of your twenty-four hour period. I intend to save as many of the city as I can. If I could I would be here to struggle your enemy with you. I am afraid this I can not do, the others have plans for this urban center. Fight and die well Warriors of the great city of Tikal. ``

A great cheer went up from all those there as they started to chant Cit-Chac-Coh as Ambrose and his party moved off toward the urban center it 's self.

'' Skylos ?"St. Ambrose said when they were out of ear guess of the top executive and the warriors. `` Are we close yet ? ``

'' Almost there sire, should n't be more than another specton or two. I have repaired all I can the ship 's car is finishing the remainder. '' Skylos replied.

'' We need to get going as soon as possible. I might have gained us another one-half minton though I 'm not for sure. I 'll be glad to be moving them again. '' St. Ambrose told Skylos.

'' Yes forefather I understand, '' Skylos said then there was a hissing coming from farther back from the com. `` I have to go it appears that the others are dying to get going also. ``

Suddenly in the background St. Ambrose heard Twitty yelling, `` Skylos ! We have work to do ! I do not think to stick around here the eternal sleep of my life. Who are you talking to ? ``

'' As I said sire I have to go. '' Skylos replied.

'' Sire ? '' St. Ambrose heard Twitty yell. `` Mate, '' Twitty said as she snatched the com from Skylos. `` Unless you intend to stay here when this shoes is over run, please do n't disturb our employment again ! '' With that the com went drained as Ambrose started to laugh.

Turning back he spoke to Roth and the rest of his knights. `` It appears that we are almost prepare to go again. If we can bar other break dance pile we should barely have enough time to discharge this. ``

All of them nodded as they ran to their emplacement, turning back toward the city Ambrose hoped they could get all of them. It was a quartern toton later that Skylos informed St. Ambrose that they were set up to go.

A import later Adina walked up to Ambrose, `` full cousin I know that you feel that the people would be calmer if you went. I am feeling that there is a great tempestuousness with those that are staying and waiting. Perhaps you should speak to them. I am sure those that are going can send Hippacamp back. ``

Ambrose 's eyes went wide then he was nodding in understanding with her. `` I see your point Adina, I am also glad that your vocalism has finally returned. ``

Adina was eyeing St. Ambrose with her centre narrowed not sure if she could believe him or not. `` I am glad also cousin-german, though I am not sure enough if I can truly believe you. I know you are not like my Brother though you are a male. Please forgive me you are dissimilar yet it is laborious to believe that you are that different. ``

Saint Ambrose 's facial expression held a look of shock then he bowed to Adina who gasped in surprise. `` I apologize for you having doubts first cousin. I 'll try to not do that again. ``

Adina was staring at St. Ambrose even harder it truly appeared as if he was telling the complete trueness. Then a radiant smile lit upon her face. `` Thank you cousin, if you can achieve that then I will do everything for you I can, always. ``

Ambrose could only nod at her after her declaration. `` Thank you cousin, as I said I will do all I can to not hold you doubts again. ``

Adina was nodding with a large smile on her aspect as she led St. Ambrose to a large readable domain of the urban center. Looking around as they broke into the unfold St. Ambrose could only stare at Adina.

'' What is this ? '' Ambrose said indicating the immense throng of people that were waiting there.

'' I thought you might agree with me on this so I had the the great unwashed converge here. '' Adina told Ambrose.

Still hardly believing his eyes Saint Ambrose thought for a few instant. `` Good people of Tikal. I know you feel better when I travel with you. I also know that many who are here still have awe. I will soon transport Hippacamp to help assuage your fear. '' A mighty hollering went up as Ambrose nodded to all there.

turning Ambrose saw that Adina had another huge smile glued to her face. `` By the great felid ! You are such a powerful speaker. I am so gladiolus that you will top the region. ``

Sighing Ambrose nodded then said, `` I hope that I will, we first have to rejoin. As you remember the shoemaker's last clip this almost drained me. ``

'' I remember, though as you pointed out each time you use it, the side by side time you are stronger. Besides, '' here she paused, `` you wo n't be doing Thomas More than one thing like finally time. '' Then almost in a whisper she said. `` I pray to the heavy feline you are n't required nor have to. ``

Ambrose 's eyes went wide then he nodded agreement. `` I am hoping also cousin ; I personally do n't want to expire before I can do any full. ``

Adina 's face was shocked then it held anger as she spit, `` Do n't joke about that cousin ! You are far stronger than father was, you 'll shit it ; that I am sure of. '' Then she sided up to Ambrose purring, rubbing her face on his handwriting. `` We all have to hold out, you more than the rest of us. ``

Saint Ambrose watched her for a here and now then pulled his had back pulling her case up. `` We are all just as important, remember that. I do n't want to think that I 'll take to punish you when this is done. ``

A look of jounce registered on Adina 's face, `` Punishment ? What are you talking about cousin ? ``

'' I learned of it while I was on dry land though somewhat primitive, this seemed quite effective. '' Ambrose told her.

'' primitive ? You mean wild what was this punishment called ? '' Adina smirked as she replied.

'' It was called a spanking though crude I did n't get it savage at all. Quite the more, at clock time even intimate, '' Ambrose replied a vast smiling on his face.

Adina still unsure pressed on, `` So this punishment was a normal thing for all on world ? ``

Here St. Ambrose smiled wider, `` No it seemed to be reserved more for misbehaving children. '' Ambrose 's eyes then looked more intensely at Adina.

'' full cousin ! I am no child I ... '' Adina started.

Another voice came from behind both of them startling Adina, `` Hmmmm cousin a p'uchik might do well in this face. '' The voice of Typree said.

Adina 's oral fissure dropped open as her oculus narrowed looking at her brother then flitting quickly to Ambrose. `` You would n't dare ! I am over eighteen summers you therefore have no right even as king of our macrocosm ! ``

'' In that obedience you are decently though as king of the realm, our cousin has more than the right. Besides, '' here Typree 's face held a devilish grin."You really do deserve it ! ``

Adina 's tooth bared as she growled at first her brother then Ambrose. `` I do not merit such ... ''

Saint Ambrose had heard enough as he swiftly had Adina over his lap, pounding his flattened paw on her hind quarters. Typree had started to chortle 'til Ambrose sent him a feel that almost made his rip freeze.

Finally finished Ambrose stood Adina growling at her. `` You are a princess of the land. It 's about time you started acting like it ! You ca n't hold back carrying on like the piddling child that you once were. ``

Adina more embarrassed than hurt lowered her head tears falling from her center softly growled, `` I will call back first cousin, my Billie Jean King. '' Rubbing her hind end she swiftly made her way away from the others.

Standing Ambrose turned toward Typree growling he said, `` Had I not stopped you she might have committed a criminal offense that I 'd have to severely punish her for. You also are no longer a child cousin ; you also need to take in a mate. Alone the line of business can not bear on, and I for one do not want another contest to target another on the throne. I might have to kill them all. ``

Typree gulped as all that his cousin had said was true. `` What of Adina ? It has been a fully sentence job with her AND the realm. ``

Saint Ambrose 's facial expression broke out in a declamatory smile as he stated. `` I think she wo n't be a problem much longer. Take what I said to warmness, find a mate when we return or would you favour I find you one ? ``

'' NO ! '' Typree quickly shouted shaking remembering years ago when Saint Ambrose had found him a female person. Still shaking he replied, `` I 'll get as soon as I return. '' Typree said with a sigh.

Ambrose clapped his hand on his cousin 's dorsum, `` It will make thing far well-off though at times far more complicated. I am for certain I 'll be finding that out as soon as all of this is over. Having a better half is much like an irritating babe only there are more benefits. ``

Typree was nodding then looked at his cousin with a foreign look. `` cousin-german you have mates yet you have n't mated yet ? By the smashing feline no wonder you are frustrated ! ``

'' As I said cousin there is far too much to do at the minute to mull such thing. Plus there is a double-dealer out there that needs to die as soon as potential ! '' Ambrose said as he growled swiping at a Oliver Stone rampart taking a expectant chunk out of it as his cat form slipped to the surface.

Typree was agreeing his eye wide when he saw his cousin lose control a second. `` We 'll get him cousin, we 'll get him. ``

Both headed toward their ships as Ambrose could see they were almost ready to go.

It was a grueling two days later as Saint Ambrose awoke to the ship landing. At the close reckoning they had finally gotten fifty two hundred the offset day with all the fix that had delayed them. These finis two had Ambrose feeling better. As of this head trip they had moved twenty eight thousand, five hundred forty. Ambrose could feel almost one-half of what had felt amiss finally slipping where it should be.

With a suspire Saint Ambrose watched another burden of masses move onto the ship. They had almost half of those were left in the city. So many had died before they 'd arrived, looking at his arm he just hoped that they had enough blood to help all of them. The last-place few thousand were going to have a few 24-hour interval to await before they had any more.

Shaking his header he hated not using his blood nor his cousins. As he remembered his kin was the sole ones he knew of that had these gifts as Adina had said, or curses as Typree had said. thought of Adina he 'd not seen much of her since her 'lesson'had occurred. Nothing more than an appearance each time ; she appeared to be exhausted as she rendered aid to those still there.

All of his knights had told him that the surrounding armies had withdrawn a bit after his visit to them. ‘ Good,'St. Ambrose thought, ‘ no want to kill those that kept their word.'Then his thoughts turned to his two uncles as his blood pounded. To think that they were as jealous as they were.

This sentence it was Skylos that was backing away as he saw Saint Ambrose sort slick into his cat form his long hook scarring the roughneck inner walls of the ship. Shaking his head he knew the queen was strong though not this strong.

By the end of the third day Saint Ambrose could see that the survival of everyone was starting to wear thin. They had just finished with their last cargo for that day. Ambrose nodded he could see the fatigue on all of their faces. This was going far beyond duty. They all knew what was at stake plus their sense of superbia was also pushing them on.

Grabbing his com Ambrose contacted his cousin, `` Cousin ? We have to wind up this soon. ``

'' We will cousin ; I just hope we have enough of them to take a shit a difference. '' Typree answered. `` By the way have you see Adina ? > I have n't heard from her in a few days most odd. I ... ''

< I am still here brother ; I am trying to prevent all those still here calm. They are worried that they will die with no chance to go. I have been assuring them that they will not be left, that Cit-Chac-Coh would not appropriate that to happen. > Came Adina 's well-worn thoughts.

Ambrose smiled as more people started to move onboard. < I am proud of you cousin your action mechanism make me gallant as I am sure they would your mother and father. You are worthy of the claim of princess, perhaps more. > ''

A happy gasp from Adina made St. Ambrose smile more. < What are you ... > Adina started.

< I said perhaps after all this is over. > Ambrose told her expecting her to question more than. Un-expectantly she told him thank you then was quiet. ‘ My, my,'Saint Ambrose thought, ‘ perhaps I should experience spanked her sooner.'

'' cousin-german, '' Ambrose spoke into the com again. `` We need to get Sir Thomas More rest between shifts with everyone. None of us will be any dear if we crash because we are half at rest. I want all crews to disunite in half, at least eight time of day of rest and sleep. ``

'' Good maybe they will be calmer now. Every one of them are as cranky as if they had their feline sleep disturbed. I 'll secern them at once, they 'll obey knowing that you have ordered it. '' Typree advised Ambrose.

'' trade good, I estimate we 've moved 39,760 with all that died at the jump I feel we 've got most of them. '' Ambrose relayed.

Typree sucked in his intimation. `` There were that many who died ? ``

'' I 'm afraid so, from all I read of this time of a metropolis of 100,000 almost half died from a mysterious element. Then a few workweek later Tikal was attacked all its warriors defeated falling in the conflict. The master moved into an abandon city, it almost made them flee the unanimous metropolis having a ghostly look to it. '' Ambrose told of the account he 'd learned.

'' I may not give birth said it sire but I am proud to be able to help make for about the beginning of our people. '' Typree told his cousin.

'' It 's not over yet cousin, we still have a day and at least another 11,000 hoi polloi to go. We have returned a with child many things to how I feel they should be. Well over seventy five percent now though there are a few important people I feel that are still missing. One of them is in our household I am afraid. ``

Ambrose heard the gasp at the other end, `` You still do n't cognize who cousin ? ``

'' No, I have been over the family story many times, but I ca n't detect an response. '' Ambrose told his cousin.

The hold out day they worked as hard and fast as they could. Finally the last of those that were to go were on gameboard. Everything felt like it should, or rather should birth. Skylos was about to close the hatch when Ambrose stepped outside.

'' Sire ? Should I hold ? '' Skylos asked.

'' Something does n't sense right. I need to go in the city, have the former two launch I want you in the air, but low orbit. I 'll call off you in a few spectons. '' Ambrose replied.

'' Alright sire, though how I am going to keep your fellow and horse equanimity is beyond me. '' Skylos advised Ambrose.

Ambrose nodded as the hatch closed and the ship took to the sky. Running as fast as he could Ambrose began to research every construction then groaned. It would consider all day even with his speed. Changing to his full feline form Ambrose reached out hoping that he was correct about his abilities. At start he growled when he felt nothing then took off at full-of-the-moon speed to the other English of the city.

On the far slope of the city he found a small living anatomical structure. What he was feeling was inside. Bursting through the entry way he stopped short when he saw the pocket-size little girl curled up asleep.

Walking to her Ambrose gently shook the missy whose optic snapped unresolved. `` OOOOO a big kitty ! '' The little girl exclaimed throwing her arms around Ambrose 's neck.

'' Why are you here ? You should be with the others going to the new seat. '' St. Ambrose told her.

'' I was tired so I came home plate to withdraw a nap. I 'm bad Mister kitty, can I still go ? I wo n't be bad. '' The little missy told Ambrose her declamatory eyes filling with tears.

'' Oh my dear you have to go. '' Ambrose told her as he scooped her up running out of the construction toward the early side of the urban center. Already he could see the close auditory sensation of battle. Increasing his speed he called Skylos.

'' Mate ! Do n't you ever do this again ! '' He heard the aggravate vocalism of Twitty and Glenna.

Skylos set down as Ambrose approached on a run. A welcoming committee was there lifting him and the fiddling female child on board.

Twitty and Glenna had their arms crossed staring at Ambrose as he got aboard. With the hatch closed they made for space.

'' What was so crucial that you had to go back ? '' They both growled at him.

'' I take it neither of you recognize the niggling girl I brought back with me ? '' St. Ambrose asked.

Both female person softened as they looked at the child then they both shook their head no.

'' She, '' Ambrose said taking a big breath, `` is the female person half of the first of my household. Timora 's son and here are the very first of my family. So you see I could n't just leave her. ``

All of his knights, paladin plus both his teammate gasped. `` sire you mean to tell me that lilliputian girl is the outset tabby Kindra ? '' Philip Roth said almost spell bound.

Saint Ambrose could only smile at the flavor of shock on all their faces
