Johnathon watched as Lana fingered the tree shaped pendent, he was still in a bad humor, he thought he and Tyrome were finally even. Here the ass had given them aegis for their child ; Johnathon knew that Tyrome had more also. He was never going to be able to pay him back at this rate, not concentrating once again ; Johnathon started blowing the hell out of everything that was placed in front of him.

Growling he looked back at Lana, `` Lana hon ? '' He finally said to her.

'' What 's wrong Johnathon ? '' She asked completely unaware of the fit he was having, looking at the pendant that she was cradling so lovingly.

'' Hon if you could, please put that away ? It reminds me of how much of a failure I am to my friend. '' Johnathon said. This was a blow to her, hearing Tyrome tell it, he owed Johnathon and would never be able to pay him back. Shaking her head teacher she wondered how the men ever got very far with so many misunderstandings.

Placing the pendant inside her shirt tucked safely between her knocker she heard Johnathon sigh in relief. `` I 'm sorry my love, '' she started, `` I was just absently holding it thinking of our tyke and how wonderful it is we are finally together. ''

Nodding Johnathon walked over to her and passionately kissed her surprising not only her but Johnathon also.
'' After all the century of interval and the misunderstanding, I am more than glad to try and make up for it. ''

Lana leaned into his kiss, `` Ummmm if it keeps changes such as this in you, than I am more than happy to remind you every day how much I love you ! '' Lana said with a blanket grinning.

Tom just shook his chief at this charge per unit Johnathon would n't be to concentrate at all.

Sighing Johnathon kissed Lana one more metre then went back to work, it was a lot harder to control then he 'd thought though after yesterday it did seem that he did feature a bit of control.

A brace of eyes watched the proceedings as Tom and Johnathon practiced, ‘ I have to inform the council,'the oculus owner thought. ‘ If they keep this up then Johnathon will move up to the position that his father hOldS, this ca n't happen if the council was to ever get out from under the foot of the Timmings.'Flashing out the spy did n't see Ben Timmings watching from far back, ‘ So, Ben thought, ‘ they have taken to spying on the keep.'flash in near Tom, Ben motioned him close so he could let Tom know what he 'd just seen.

'' Ben ? '' Tom said when he saw his uncle, `` I take it your being here means that something new has developed ? '' Nodding, Ben told Tom of the spy that he 'd seen watching their keep ; he also informed Tom that the council had n't been too pleased that Ben had sent young Tyrome on ahead to the enforcer school removing him from active duty as a bounty huntsman.

'' I tell you I caught more than an earful about that for several hours, I watched them all as you told me ; it seems that the most boisterous are a sealed three mages. I am sure you are associate with their name calling. Clondus, Torbert, and no surprise, Alaze Odium. ''

This last had Tom hissing then growling, that bastard had been after Evelyn when they were younger and still wanted her even 800 years later.

As quiet as he could Tom told Ben, `` I should have killed that bastard when we dueled instead of taking his arm ! ''

Ben looked at Tom with stupor he 'd never get word Tom voice displeasure this strongly before maybe this was a good thing after all for ALL concerned. `` We need to progress to plan as of right now, if I know that ass the way I do he 's already got something in the works to destroy Johnathon. This will not happen I will kill that bastard long before he even gets close to Johnathon. ''

Ben could only stare at his nephew this was most refreshing earreach Tom speak as emotionally as he was.

'' I want you to keep center on the spy or spies as I am sure they will beam more than one. It appears that I may have got to move up the time mesa and present the bastard in open chambers. '' Tom told Ben.

'' Tom ! '' Ben cried, `` That 's what they probably want you to do ! '' Ben cried.

Tom smiled a half smirk looking at his uncle, `` That may be but think of it was my father, your brother that wrote well over half the council linguistic rule. Also remember that I helped to pen a few of them as well after Father of the Church was killed. I am more than acquainted with all the rules, I still have a trump card I can play if worse comes to worse. ''

Ben nodded he had to hold Tom was always trying to think ahead a lot further than he was. Tom nodded then flashed out appearing in the council chambers ; going over everything he was sure he had them all if they did n't agree to his condition. Within moments all of the fellow member appeared, though a picayune upset none were as upset as Odium and Clondus.

'' I have called an hand brake meeting of the council to put to repose all the wild hearsay that have been circulating. '' Tom started.

'' Yes as would I, '' a glowering faced and most unpleasant sounding loathing, `` under conjuring trick law 5000, I ask for the murder of Johnathon Timmings. '' So the SOB had read the book after all.

'' conjuring trick law 5000 ? I am unfamiliar with that one. '' A untried council fellow member stated.

Waving his hand Tom Timmings made the great Christian Bible appear again and started to read. `` It is hereby the decision of the council that the unskilled and wanton use of savage magic is outlawed. The said use of risky magic will be punishable by last, the execution to take situation immediately under the watchful eyes of a sub-council virile member of the Timmings family. '' There were several gasps as each realized that Tom Timmings had the ultimate say in almost all they did.

Tom looked at loathing who wore a barf and twine look of delight on his face at the thought of the death of Tom 's son. Tom just started to smile and looked directly at Odium,"So you really need to go that way huh ? '' Tom asked, when Odium 's face gained a disgorge and impish smile, Tom just smiled back with the same intensity.

'' As many of you know my male parent and grandfather wrote well over 75 % of the council al-Qur'an. What you may not get it on is its full contents. My family has been possessor of the wild magic trick for many, many centuries now ; we were all trained and can operate it far better than to the highest degree can their convention magic. As you heard only the wanton use of it is cause for death. '' Tom stated.

Laughing Odium pointed an accusing finger at me, `` What would you name the destruction of the council chambers or the hurt of almost half its phallus ? I call for his destruction NOW ! ``

Still smiling Tom looked at him then the eternal sleep of the council, `` Under several article of the council book I can prognosticate for the disbanding of the council for the illegal seizure and scrutiny of my son. zip allows the council to act without first advising the sub-council, what their actions are and will be. If councilman abomination continues to push this issue I will cause the council disbanded in disgrace, his deed removed and his council remembering removed. ''

Looking straight into detestation 's optic, Tom said, `` Your play councilman. ''

The color had drained from his case as the residual of the council hit aspect of death at him, `` I ... I did n't know ! '' He shouted.

Looking at him Tom growled, `` It is over Alaze, she did n't need you then and most certainly does n't want you now. You should research for more before you make a motion like this, you 've lost again accept it and move on. ''

Turning his vertebral column Tom started to leave. There was a sudden tumult behind him then a shouted warning, Tom felt rather than saw the huge human dynamo that flew at him. Tom stopped as did the fireball, turning he saw that Odium was laughing wickedly, that is 'til he saw Tom sigh and shake up his head teacher slowly. Tom slowly pushed the fireball back at execration ; brat on his face grew as it engulfed his shields.

'' Councilman execration, you are hereby stripped of your title and stripped of your mage standing on the council. '' The fireball suddenly snuffed out, reaching in Tom started to snap several of execration 's tycoon, the council all gasped as they saw what Tom was doing.

'' You are sentenced to a year without powers, after that, come after my family and I will have the right to toss off you, '' drawing closer to him Tom quietly snarled, `` It will be most unpleasant and might take away a long prison term to accomplish. ''

Letting the man drop in a good deal Tom bowed to the council and advised, `` I believe you need another council appendage, oh. '' Tom started when he turned his back to the council, `` Clondus, if you were allied with this excuse for a mage I advise you to imagine real hard before you make another move. '' With that Tom flashed out leaving an open-mouthed council staring at the weeping heap of flesh on the chamber floor.

Ben had been in hiding the entire time a huge sentience of pride on his face, Tom had not only kept his cool but had done everything by their own linguistic rule to tolerate no objections later. Though he had to admit as another smile lit up his face the removing of the imbecile major power had been a bonus. ‘ Huh,'Ben thought, ‘ so his brother had taught his son to remove powers. So now there were three he knew of well two,'Tyrome was still learning, but he could draw a blank almost all now, so pretty shut.

Tom appeared in the practice session thousand and erected several targets, then started to blare the nether region out of them. Sighing Tom knew this was n't going to be enough. Opening the power slightly, Tom flashed out to the Same outside islands that Johnathon had destroyed ; bringing the islands back Tom started the entirely sales agreement destruction of all of them again. A few minutes later he heard a voice behind him, `` perdition and you said I was heady ! ''

Almost lost in his rage Tom turned and fired at Johnathon, Johnathon smiled and his shields flared as he held the blast 'til it extinguished.

Tom 's sass dropped undefended ; that was the most further skill of control Johnathon had shown and without Lana there !

'' Yeah I finally figured what you had been doing to construct up my control, I started a few exercises of my own, and it has helped quite a bit. So feel better ? '' Johnathon smiled as he looked at the intense look on his Father-God 's aspect.

'' More than you 'll know, so have you been able to open it yet ? '' Tom asked looking at the power that Johnathon was showing.

'' Almost half way now, 'bout 5 or 6 60 minutes now. I heard what you did in the chamber ; here I thought you were an unfeeling arse all these age. That you were training me out of duty, I want to eff about grandfather. I 've heard that his ascendance made both of ours look like a joke. '' Johnathon told Tom.

Tom nodded and said, `` Almost, I am close now, if you remember our conflict I did n't wreak out everything 'til the real end I did n't receive to. retrieve with the whorl once you open it your exponent is slightly amplified, though at the end I have to admit you were starting to overpower me, I barely got it all the way surface when you hit me. ''

Johnathon was nodding taking in everything his father was telling him, the fact that his founder had defended him in the open council bedchamber had spoken loudness to Johnathon.

An time of day later, Tom had Johnathon performing a routine of harder and harder tasks. When each went better than he thought they should, the pride on Tom 's face started to show. `` I 'd say you have no LE that 90 % control now, one hold out test for today. I want you to spread the cuticle as far as you can. '' Nodding Tom watched as Johnathon began to open the magical magnate cuticle over his power, nodding Tom saw that he 'd already mastered the tranquil curtain raising of it. At half Tom smiled very good, at 3/4 Tom was even lofty. Finally almost all the way outdoors Tom saw that Johnathon was starting to shin to keep it open, so this was the first time he 'd got it unfold that far, excellent !

'' Alright Johnathon back it off and the roadblock will close '' Nodding Johnathon did as his father said and the top executive slowly at first of all then faster began to decline.
'' Very in effect you are almost completely ready now, another day or two and I think you 'll be fix. '' Tom told his son. Johnathon looked shocked he thought it would take at least two month of training not five and a half weeks. Looking over at his father to piss sure he 'd heard right he saw his father shake his head yes.

That nighttime, in the darkness many right mages moved through the forest towards the keep. The onetime looking leader of the men wore a dour and brutal feel that reached all the way to his eyes. Smiling a wicked smile he started to border the keep with a baron lock down spell no one had never broken, but just in case he had more than enough mighty mages out here to vote down the hold on loss leader and his son. Smiling he thought of the celebrate loss leader's wife and daughter, ummm they would be sweet beneath him when he took them by force play laughing he had so many miniature he was going to stuff them full of. After all the things theses do-gooders had done they were going to lose and sustain greatly.

The succeeding morning Tom felt the legerdemain ring erected around the keep, smiling this patch felt familiar. Reaching out Tom touched it and opened a muddle as easily as ripping a piece of paper. Laughing 'til he felt the extremely herculean force out outside the ring. Hmmmm it was a just matter Johnathon had as much ascendence as he did this would make things a little easier when they went to fight.

Calling Johnathon Tom advised him what was going on then he sent content to Ben. The council was advised that there would be a massive amount of death out by the donjon so they might need to get up. Ben asked if they needed him and Tom thought for a bit. `` You have to use the force Ben ; yes I know you have it, Church Father told me not too long before he died. I know your controller is far greater than his was I ca n't even palpate yours. ''

Sighing Ben decided he 'd been hiding long enough and this was his category, or what was left of it. Tom also contacted Lord Vidon to let him know, he could hear Vidon growl when he heard that his protagonist and neighbor was under fire. Tom asked him to keep out of it, these mages were of a higher bore than well-nigh that Vidon had been against, Vidon laughed and told Tom not to occupy he was far more powerful than Tom thought.

Stepping out near the barrier Tom addressed the massed group. `` What is the import of this ? You are trespassing on my family 's country leave now while you still can outride and I can not assure any will leave alone animated.

There was a lot of snickering then about ten of the mages opened up striking Tom 's shield, Tom just yawned and looked bored.

'' Do n't let the son of a bitch goading you ! You 'll run through your power and be an tardily target ! '' The leader yelled from the extreme point back of all of the men. ‘ So,'Tom thought, ‘ that 's where you are, need to call up that for later on.'

Tom waved a hand at five of the ten and they were instantly engulfed in flame, dropping they were beat within a mere minute. Smiling, Tom thought ‘ well that 's five, it might even make a remainder later,'`` Please, I do n't hump who you are but you have no fortune even with this many ! '' Tom yelled trying to convince himself more than them even with Johnathon it was going to be a struggle. With a savage yell many more opened up on Tom. Smiling Tom opened his major power to 3/4 the jump did n't go unnoticed.

'' That 's it men he 's almost at full power even he ca n't finis forever ! '' Tom fired killing another six then three Sir Thomas More, even more bug out to fire at him, ‘ Damn it,'Tom thought, ‘ I ca n't kill them fast enough !'Suddenly there was a huge blast and 20 of those in front of him disappeared.

'' I 've got your back father ! '' Tom heard Johnathon vociferation as he took another 20 out reducing the blast hitting Tom to lupus erythematosus than half.

Tom and Johnathon started to use cover killing as many as they could each time. When the gang finally collapsed Tom smiled and erected his own roadblock, this shocked those on the back side, and now the wide force out was in front of them. An hr later Tom and Johnathon had both been hit several multiplication and were bleeding from several station. They were holding their own when an errant gust hit Tom knocking him out, there were respective repellent jest.

They were 'til they felt Johnathon 's anger grow as did his power, taking out quite a few, Johnathon managed to get Tom under cover. Another dead reckoning hit Johnathon in the arm effectively numbing it, still firing Johnathon was n't for sure if he could hold out much foresightful when there was shouting at the back of the opposition's line of credit.

Johnathon felt the Vampires before they even arrived, then Ben was beside him, lifting his father, `` I 'll be right back, '' he told Johnathon.

Out in the billet many thigh-slapper started to fathom as several of the mages disappeared, back to back the mages finally started to get a grip on thing but their forces were now at half what they had been.

Godhead Vidon looked at the mass murder before him ; his men had grabbed half of the men and ripped their throat out. imprecate it they were starting to defend now, and then he felt an extremely muscular power Edwin Herbert Land next to Johnathon. Good he was there finally, for the following time of day things grew somewhat serenity, there were still a great many mages out there, and many of them had substantial tycoon. Ben appeared future to Johnathon crap ! Johnathon was bleeding from his human face arms leg chest ; though Ben smiled, Johnathon had killed quite a few. Leaning down Ben whispered to Johnathon, `` You stay here I 'll show you why your grandfather was feared. ''

With that Johnathon felt Ben open his power all the way then he felt the shield canasta with the power, what the hell ? Ben felt as powerful as he 'd been when he fought father ! Ben started to float then rose above the trees. Maker Vidon felt him and withdrew all his men. Ben 's face was a mask of hatred and cult ; his heart were like fire his hands were glowing as the tycoon started to concentrate there in them. In a booming voice Ben looked at all the men, `` I 'll pass on all of you a probability to take the air away, you have this one chance, and then you are dead, think about it you have 1 bit ! ''

Several of the men talked among themselves then flashed out, Ben smiled so they were n't all idiots ! The rest that remained express mirth and pointed at Ben opening fire at once, shrugging it off Ben 's temper started to spring up as did his tycoon. All the men on the terra firma laughed and fired even harder, when zip happened they started to get worried. Ben started to smile and pointed at each man as each started to scream, and then die. The leader flashed out, bedamn it he thought the architectural plan had been perfect ! Five minutes later Ben settled future to Johnathon the smell of roasting pulp was everywhere, gently Ben lifted a now semi conscious Johnathon and flashed to the keep.

Evelyn screamed in fury when she saw Johnathon covered in blood though a in effect bit of it was his fathers. Lana growled looking at the many cuts and burn mark on his dead body, Johnathon tried to sit up and nearly fell.

'' Sit still ; let your mother heal you I have to go after the leader. You are ripe son, and your father trained you extremely well but he did n't know everything, but we can discuss that later. '' Ben flashed out to a hold a few Swedish mile from theirs and began to look around hmmm nothing, appearing in several more that he suspected Ben was a minuscule thwarted. Sighing, Ben thought, ‘ wellspring one more than I 'll have to rethink who might take been behind this.'Searching around he finally felt the power signature he 'd been looking for then, huh it was gone ? What the hell was going on ? Feeling the lead he started to follow it as it led back toward his syndicate 's support ! Appearing in the posing room Ben saw that he 'd been right about the energy but had to be surely.

There with his arm around Evelyn 's neck was the patriarch of the Pompoff kinfolk !

'' So it was you after all Bernard ! '' Ben said as the older man tightened his grip on Evelyn.

'' Hello whoreson, '' the old man said to Ben, `` 'bout meter I got a chance to kill a few of the tart in this family ! '' The old man laughed, licking the side of Evelyn 's typeface, `` Is n't that right you fucking whore ! ''

Johnathon was still on the divan beneath them and had n't moved ; suddenly he sprang up and ripped the man 's pharynx out. `` NO ONE touches my mother, you son of a bitch ! '' Johnathon growled as the man fell on the base blood pumping out as his death rattle started. Johnathon smiled at his mother and a scandalize Ben ; then the mankind went black, damn he thought, ‘ this sucks !'

Two mean solar day later Johnathon awoke with a jerk, where the hell was he ? Looking over he saw Lana asleep in a chairperson next to the bed. Reaching out he felt the intact council was there, as was Ben, and ... Tyrome ? Groaning Johnathon tried to get out of bed, almost falling as the room began to birl Johnathon groaned again this time Lana awoke.

'' Ah my love you 're finally awake ! '' Shouting the others came in, Tyrome at the spine ; shaking his capitulum it seemed that a lot of things that had happened were still fuzzy. A moment later his father limped in, `` I 'm proud of you son you took a beating but you saved us all 'til Ben and Vidon arrived. ''

'' Thank you father, Tyrome why are you here ? '' Johnathon asked almost afraid of the answer.

'' Checking up on an old ally I heard you were hurt, besides Ben asked me to help oneself. '' Tyrome said.

'' One day I will repay you for the help Tyrome. '' Johnathon said.

Tyrome just smiled, ‘ You already have Johnathon,'he thought, ‘ many times over.'


THE END
