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

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

Ambrose nodded then stood before them, `` as I said before I am here for a few to a greater extent of your daytime. I intend to keep as many of the city as I can. If I could I would be here to fight your enemies with you. I am afraid this I can not do, the others have plans for this metropolis. Fight and die well Warriors of the big city of Tikal. ``

A smashing 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 ?"Ambrose said when they were out of ear shot of the male monarch 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 auto is finishing the rest. '' Skylos replied.

'' We need to get going as soon as possible. I might have gained us another one-half minton though I 'm not 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 foster back from the com. `` I have to go it appears that the others are anxious to get going also. ``

Suddenly in the screen background Ambrose heard Twitty yelling, `` Skylos ! We have work to do ! I do not designate to stay on here the rest of my life. Who are you talking to ? ``

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

'' Sire ? '' Ambrose heard Twitty yell. `` Mate, '' Twitty said as she snatched the com from Skylos. `` Unless you intend to stick around here when this place is over run, delight do n't disturb our piece of work again ! '' With that the com went dead as Saint Ambrose started to laugh.

turning back he spoke to Roth and the remainder of his knight. `` It appears that we are almost ready to go again. If we can bar other stop down we should barely have sufficiency time to fill in this. ``

All of them nodded as they ran to their situation, turning back toward the city Saint Ambrose hoped they could get all of them. It was a twenty-five percent toton later that Skylos informed Ambrose that they were prepare to go.

A moment later Adina walked up to Ambrose, `` Cousin I know that you feel that the people would be tranquil if you went. I am feeling that there is a great unrest 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 optic went wide then he was nodding in agreement with her. `` I see your point Adina, I am also glad that your vocalization has finally returned. ``

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

Ambrose 's face held a look of blow then he bowed to Adina who gasped in surprisal. `` I apologize for you having incertitude 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 pure Truth. 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. ``

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

Adina was nodding with a large smile on her face as she led Ambrose to a prominent clear surface area of the city. Looking around as they broke into the open St. Ambrose could only stare at Adina.

'' What is this ? '' Ambrose said indicating the huge throng of the great unwashed that were waiting there.

'' I thought you might consort with me on this so I had the people converge here. '' Adina told Ambrose.

Still hardly believing his eyes Ambrose thought for a few import. `` dependable masses of Tikal. I know you feel better when I travel with you. I also know that many who are here still have fears. I will soon institutionalize Hippacamp to aid allay your care. '' A mighty bellowing went up as Saint Ambrose nodded to all there.

turn Ambrose saw that Adina had another Brobdingnagian smile glued to her face. `` By the dandy feline ! You are such a mighty speaker. I am so glad that you will contribute the realm. ``

Sighing St. Ambrose nodded then said, `` I hope that I will, we first have to return. As you remember the last time this almost drained me. ``

'' I remember, though as you pointed out each metre you use it, the next prison term you are strong. Besides, '' here she paused, `` you wo n't be doing more than than one affair like death time. '' Then almost in a rustling she said. `` I pray to the great 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 need to decease before I can do any near. ``

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

Saint Ambrose watched her for a moment then pulled his had back pulling her face up. `` We are all just as of import, commemorate that. I do n't want to think that I 'll receive to punish you when this is done. ``

A aspect of impact registered on Adina 's face, `` punishment ? What are you talking about cousin-german ? ``

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

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

'' It was called a spanking though primitive person I did n't ascertain it uncivilized at all. Quite the more, at times even sexual, '' Ambrose replied a huge grin on his face.

Adina still unsure pressed on, `` So this penalisation was a normal matter for all on worldly concern ? ``

Here Ambrose smiled wider, `` No it seemed to be reserved Thomas More for misbehaving small fry. '' Saint Ambrose 's eyes then looked more intensely at Adina.

'' cousin-german ! I am no kid I ... '' Adina started.

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

Adina 's mouth dropped surface as her eyes narrowed looking at her crony then flitting quickly to St. Ambrose. `` You would n't defy ! I am over eighteen summer you therefore have no mightily even as big businessman of our reality ! ``

'' In that respectfulness you are right though as Martin Luther King Jr. of the realm, our cousin has to a greater extent than the right. Besides, '' here Typree 's typeface held a diabolic grin."You really do merit it ! ``

Adina 's teeth bared as she growled at first her brother then Saint Ambrose. `` I do not deserve such ... ''

St. Ambrose had heard enough as he swiftly had Adina over his lap, pounding his flattened paw on her hind one-fourth. Typree had started to chuckle 'til Ambrose sent him a look that almost made his ancestry freeze.

Finally finished Ambrose stood Adina growling at her. `` You are a princess of the realm. It 's about meter you started acting like it ! You ca n't keep carrying on like the little child that you once were. ``

Adina more block than detriment lowered her psyche weeping falling from her eyes softly growled, `` I will commend cousin-german, my king. '' Rubbing her hind end she swiftly made her way away from the others.

Standing Saint Ambrose turned toward Typree growling he said, `` Had I not stopped you she might suffer committed a crime that I 'd have to severely penalise her for. You also are no longer a child cousin ; you also need to take a mate. Alone the line can not continue, and I for one do not require another contest to place another on the can. I might make to kill them all. ``

Typree gulped as all that his cousin-german had said was rightful. `` What of Adina ? It has been a full time job with her AND the kingdom. ``

St. Ambrose 's face broke out in a large grinning as he stated. `` I think she wo n't be a trouble much longer. acquire what I said to heart, observe a fellow when we return or would you prefer I find you one ? ``

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

Ambrose clapped his handwriting on his cousin 's spine, `` It will make things far leisurely though at times far more complicated. I am sure I 'll be finding that out as soon as all of this is over. Having a mate is much like an irritating sister only there are more benefit. ``

Typree was nodding then looked at his full cousin with a foreign look. `` first cousin you have mates yet you have n't mated yet ? By the great felid no wonder you are frustrate ! ``

'' As I said cousin there is far too practically to do at the moment to speculate such things. Plus there is a double-dealer out there that needs to die as soon as possible ! '' St. Ambrose said as he growled swiping at a stone paries taking a large ball out of it as his cat human body slipped to the surface.

Typree was agreeing his heart spacious when he saw his cousin lose mastery a minute. `` We 'll get him cousin, we 'll get him. ``

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

It was a grueling two days later as Ambrose awoke to the ship landing place. At the last reckoning they had finally gotten fifty two hundred the maiden day with all the fixing that had delayed them. These death two had St. Ambrose feeling better. As of this trip they had moved twenty eight thousand, five hundred forty. Ambrose could find almost half of what had felt wrong finally slipping where it should be.

With a suspire Saint Ambrose watched another payload of people 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 pedigree to help all of them. The finish few thousand were going to sustain a few days to wait before they had any more.

Shaking his head he hated not using his rip nor his cousins. As he remembered his family unit was the only when ones he knew of that had these gifts as Adina had said, or curses as Typree had said. thought process 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 horse had told him that the surrounding armies had withdrawn a bit after his sojourn to them. ‘ Good,'St. Ambrose thought, ‘ no need to kill those that kept their word.'Then his thoughts turned to his two uncles as his ancestry pounded. To think that they were as envious as they were.

This time it was Skylos that was backing away as he saw Saint Ambrose form shift into his cat form his long nipper scarring the hard inner walls of the ship. Shaking his drumhead he knew the king was strong though not this strong.

By the end of the third day Ambrose could see that the endurance of everyone was starting to wear upon thin. They had just finished with their last lading 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 gumption of pridefulness was also pushing them on.

Grabbing his com Saint Ambrose contacted his cousin, `` cousin ? We have to finish this soon. ``

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

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

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

A well-chosen 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. Un-expectantly she told him thank you then was quiet. ‘ My, my,'Saint Ambrose thought, ‘ perhaps I should cause spanked her sooner.'

'' Cousin, '' Ambrose spoke into the com again. `` We need to have more rest between chemise with everyone. None of us will be any good if we crash because we are half asleep. I want all crews to divide in half, at least eight hours of repose and slumber. ``

'' good maybe they will be calmer now. Every one of them are as cranky as if they had their felid forty winks disturbed. I 'll severalize them at once, they 'll obey knowing that you have ordered it. '' Typree advised Ambrose.

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

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

'' I 'm afraid so, from all I read of this sentence of a metropolis of 100,000 almost one-half died from a mysterious chemical element. Then a few weeks later Tikal was attacked all its warriors defeated falling in the battle. The superior moved into an void urban center, it almost made them flee the completely city having a ghostly feel to it. '' Ambrose told of the history he 'd learned.

'' I may not have said it Sire but I am proud to be able to help contribute about the commencement of our people. '' Typree told his cousin.

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

Ambrose heard the pant at the early end, `` You still do n't lie with who cousin ? ``

'' No, I have been over the family history many fourth dimension, but I ca n't find an answer. '' Ambrose told his cousin.

The last day they worked as intemperate and fast as they could. Finally the close of those that were to go were on display board. Everything felt like it should, or rather should have. Skylos was about to conclude the hachure when St. Ambrose stepped outside.

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

'' Something does n't feel right. I need to go in the city, have the other two launching I want you in the air, but low orbit. I 'll name you in a few spectons. '' Ambrose replied.

'' Alright sire, though how I am going to keep your better half and knights calm 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 search every building then groaned. It would get hold of all day even with his speed. Changing to his full-of-the-moon felid form Saint Ambrose reached out hoping that he was rectify about his abilities. At first he growled when he felt nothing then took off at full speed to the other side of the city.

On the far English of the city he found a small living structure. What he was feeling was inside. Bursting through the ingress way he stopped short when he saw the small little daughter curled up asleep.

Walking to her St. Ambrose gently shook the girl whose eye snapped open. `` OOOOO a big kitten ! '' The slight lady friend exclaimed throwing her arms around Ambrose 's neck.

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

'' I was tired so I came home plate to take in a nap. I 'm sorry Mr. kitty, can I still go ? I wo n't be bad. '' The little girlfriend told Ambrose her large optic filling with tears.

'' Oh my dear you have to go. '' Saint Ambrose told her as he scooped her up running out of the building toward the early position of the metropolis. Already he could hear the last phone of battle. Increasing his speed he called Skylos.

'' Paraguay tea ! Do n't you ever do this again ! '' He heard the aggravated voices 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 limb crossed staring at Saint Ambrose as he got aboard. With the hatch closed they made for space.

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

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

Both females softened as they looked at the youngster then they both shook their head no.

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

All of his knights, paladins plus both his mates gasped. `` Sire you mean to separate me that little lady friend is the inaugural queen Kindra ? '' Roth said almost magical spell bound.

Ambrose could only smile at the looking of stupor on all their faces
