Pops and I landed with a thud as we came out of the time portal. I was still going over everything that I had seen after I had shoved the second organic structure through. A Orion ! I knew that they wanted me and my mob gone though I could n't see them finding a really reason for a hunter.

'' You wondering how they are going to warrant sending a hunter ? '' I heard pops breaking my train of thought.
'' Yeah pops that had occurred to me. We are going to give to leave daddy ; I ca n't endanger the residue of the kin group like this. '' I told him a little afraid that the Orion would pop everyone just to get to me.

Shaking his head Pops started to chuckle a consequence. `` Really Pops I fail to see what is so damn funny ! '' I yelled at him.

'' Toman you have far more ascendancy than your father did. hell I 'd say you have More than any mage your age. The fact that you are mastering everything you see as quickly as you are is validation of that. If Mordaf can show you a lot more I think you might be damn near unstoppable. '' Pops told me.

I could only stare at Pops as if he were demented. True the second time I opened the portal it had been extremely well-situated. How in the infernal region was that gaining control. `` I 'm not really seeing it soda, '' I said.

Sighing popping said, `` Toman you have what we call a third eye what you see you learn strong-arm or meta-physical. You are also as Mordaf said a total drug user, this means that given enough time there is almost null that you ca n't do. We need to get you training as soon as we can. I feel it is the only chance we have. ''

I nodded as I looked at Pops again. I could see where I had increased his defenses. Sighing I reached out trying to increase them more. A few moments'later Pops eyes flew wide as he started to feel his security barriers raise another two stratum.

'' I 'm sorry pappa I do n't want you to get hurt. Had I you this eminent that cocksucker would n't have been able to wound you. You 're a spirit level mellow than he was, it is n't enough yet though, I can finger it is straining you some. '' I told him.

'' Hell son anything you can do will be a service. I might not be able to smart them but now I can make them go at hurting me. '' soda said with a half smile.

'' Damn it Pops ! That is n't funny ! I 'm trying to be good here like you told me. '' I almost yelled.

dada nodded, `` I 'm dingy Toman I thought a short wit might facilitate you to unwind some. I apologize. ''

I hung my headland it was true I was uptight as perdition ; especially after learning that the council was sending their trump Hunter after me. Everyone knew of the hunters, and they rarely failed. Armed with a myriad of charms they were virtually undefeatable. A minute later I felt pa hand slapping my face.

'' You need to intercept this defeatist attitude ! You think you are going to lose going into a engagement then it 's a darned sure bet you will ! '' Pops said his optic flaring.

'' Damn it Pops ! '' I said as I rubbed my cheek. `` This is a hunter, a damn hunter their Best ! You know as well as I do that they ca n't be beat by convention way. ''

Pops was shaking his head looking at me as if I was the most stupid being in beingness. `` They can be all in and I thought you had noticed that you are anything BUT normal ! You have a well spring of power within you that the universe has n't seen in a long time ! Now then get over this ruth that you are feeling ; we have to increase you ! ''

I was about to answer when we both heard Tall Bear. [ Reg ? Is that you ? ] Both of us looked at each other as we heard the almost desperation in his thoughts.

[ Yes Mordy. We just got back sorry we were gone so long. We had ... ] pop started.

[ Thank the great power that you have returned ! ] Tall Bear interrupted dada mentation. [ It 's Naci ! I came back today to line up her missing ! I have searched but am feeling nothing. I need your help Toman ! Even with what you increased in me I can not experience her. ]

I was shocked as I looked at Pops. She was missing ? A luxuriously elite could n't feel her ? Growling I thought this felt like a hunter. It had to be ! Though it was far too soon for the council leader's son to have tracked us. [ I 'll be there as soon as I can ! ] I told Tall Bear.

As I started to run I felt pappa trying to keep up with me smiling I thought good he 's going to aid. Arriving at Tall Bear 's teepee I went inside trying to feel anything I could. Shaking my head I was about to leave when I felt then saw the thought cube. Walking to it I felt it pulse then spread out.

'' goodness you found this, so there are two tempestuous magic drug user here ! semen for me you outre son of a human ! If you are who I think you are then I should be well rewarded ! Well, afraid you piss ant ? You should be I am only a low storey Hunter and I took her easily, her being trained. You should be easy so come to me you miserable musical composition of filth ! '' I could feel the anger rising in me as the cube shut off. Walking out I tried to view as it in, though I was failing.

Through clenched tooth I told pappa and grandiloquent Bear. `` A bastard hunter has taken her. This is my fault I will go after her ! ''

'' No Toman, '' Tall Bear started 'til I turned toward him blowing him a good forty substructure away.

'' NO ! I said, `` I AM GOING AFTER HER ! Do not interfere ; do not get in my way ! '' Growling I held out my hand suddenly feeling Naci, Nodding to bulge out I suddenly flashed out.

Pops went to Tall Bear helping him up. `` Damn it Reg he 's walking into a gob ! ''

'' I think he knows Mordy, and I do n't mean he cares. No I think you are seeing him finally accepting that he also loves her. God I would n't want to be that hunter. I doubt seriously that the one holding her has much of a chance even with all the charms. '' soda pop replied.

'' Has he that much control condition ? '' Tall Bear asked.

'' When it comes to her ? Yeah that and a whole lot more ! '' pappa said.

I appeared knot from the tribe's camp a huge clearing with Naci sitting in the centre. `` Ah so you came after all ! This little whore must mean a lot to you. It 's ok I 'll stub out her as soon as I am done with you. Come on I know you want to kill me let 's see if you can ! ''

Not moving I felt no LE than forty charms around the clearing. Let 's see power siphoning, might moistening, I think I felt power enhancers on him. Smiling I took a gradation feeling the siphoning start up. Reaching out I sent a Brobdingnagian wave of power toward all of them smiling when they all started to pop out of existence. Several chopping motions took care of the dampening issue as those tear in half useless.

Taking another measure I smiled even bigger. The Hunter 's oculus were huge as he moved to a now unconscious Naci. `` block ! Another whole step and your little fancy woman is dead ! ''

Growling I felt my anger jump again how dare this firearm of meth mite her ! Reaching out with my judgment I saw each charm he had left. Then I felt each one scratch to go. The hunting watch 's mouth dropped open as I saw him speak ‘ how ?'

'' You are a stupid slice of Methedrine ! dullard in that you should research more before you take on an opponent that is far stronger than your charms ! Touch her again and know that the death you experience may never end ! '' I growled between clenched teeth.

'' Ha ! As Long as I hold your lady of pleasure I have power over you ! Now on your knee while I take your life ! '' With a wicked laugh the huntsman waited.

I could sense my ire growing by the moment. Finally I raised my script motioning toward the hunter. At first naught happened then the huntsman 's arm snapped as it was thrust backward. Then the other arm snapped twice as it also was bent grass backward. Slicing with my hired man both branch were suddenly laying beside the huntsman who was screaming at the top of his voice.

Walking up to all the parts I whispered barely capable to contain my anger. `` You were short as soon as I entered this clearing you were just too pudding head to realize it ! '' Reaching in I stripped all of what little major power the hunter had. `` I leave you this, '' I told him as I placed a vision of him being burned animated over and over. `` adios you ass ! '' Walking away I heard him get going to whimper, cry then scream as in his mind his flesh was destroyed over and over.

I passed a script over Naci trying to see what he 'd done to her. Thankfully she had only been knocked out. Picking her up I took a last feel at the Hunter feeling his memory growing smaller and smaller. Nodding I thought of the village and flashed out.

Appearing on the out annulus I started to walk in carrying Naci in my arms. There was a gravid commotion then Pops and Tall Bear were beside me helping me as I made a manoeuvre short letter for their teepee. Neither man said a Bible as I still wore an extremely pissed off look on my face. Finally I walked in placing Naci on her cutis, only then could I relax.

Even as I felt the tension leaving me I also felt my metier hesitation. I refused the service of either man as I sank to my articulatio genus beside Naci. I had almost lost her once I was n't about to go out her 'til I knew she was ok.

Pops and Tall Bear shook their principal as they sent for several women. Bathing Naci 's brass then trying to tend to me I sat there like a Harlan Fiske Stone awaiting the kickoff sign from Naci. It was almost two hour later that Naci 's eyes flickered give. Looking around in electric shock her middle settled on me.

'' Toman ! You should not be here ! '' She whispered a fiddling afraid.

'' I was n't about to leave 'til I was certainly you were alright. '' Leaning close I whispered, `` That piece of garbage will never ache you again ! I made sure of it ! '' Standing on unsteady legs I bowed to all the fair sex and Naci the turned to allow.

I heard a pant behind me then I heard Naci, [ thank you Toman. He took me by surprisal I thought I was dead. Again you have saved my life-time ! ]

[ You are to be my wife. Would you expect less of me ? You will be the other half of me. I will always protect you one way or another ! ] I thought back to her as I left the tipi.

[ Still husband to be I will always thank you. 'Til we are together, ] Naci responded emphatically !

Nodding I moved off through the small town as many of the warriors came up to congratulate me. Though well-nigh only said it then moved off seeing the face of anger that was still on my face and in my eyes. I had to get magniloquent Bear, I had to get firm. I could n't let this befall again ! Marching as well as I could I soon found Tall Bear and Pops.

Walking up to Tall Bear I whispered, `` You have to show me all that you can. I will not allow this to happen again ! '' Looking at pappa I smiled the first real grinning I had all day. `` It was as you said pops. There are elbow room I just had n't thought of them. Though I expect that the hunter son of the council leader will have far more powerful charms. ''

Turning to Tall Bear I said, `` We need to do this as quick as possible I need to a greater extent control. I have almost all of it though I feel there is a bit missing. ''

'' It would be an laurels to learn you all that I know Toman though if I do. '' Here he smiled big, `` I insist that you also call me Mordaf, are we agreed ? ''

'' Sir, I was only showing respectfulness. If you insist then I will Tall ... Mordaf. '' I replied.

'' Good let 's go to the bubble I think it still has its manipulation. '' Mordaf said.

'' Do you have the clip ? I thought you would be fussy 'til tomorrow. '' I told him.

'' In this grammatical case I have postponed it. Protecting the tribe comes first. I believe getting you far stronger qualifies as that ! '' Mordaf told me as I nodded.

As we moved off into the forest a sudden thought occurred to me. `` Mordaf ? Many saw what happened. Will you be able to do a reset of their memories ? They were afraid of me enough before this. God they must be terrified now. ''

Mordaf stopped a moment bowing his head in thought then spread his hands out as he gripped the store of almost all in the Greenwich Village. Concentrating a few moments he nodded then looked at me. `` There that should do it though, I am assuming the next time you will be able to accomplish what I just did. ''

I stood still a moment as I looked within then with a smile I nodded to him. `` Yes I have all the principles of it inside. This should be a good start. '' I told him and Pops with a smile.

Mordaf looked at Pops with a serious grimace then motioned for me to follow him. For the relaxation of the day Mordaf did every spell, and hex that he knew, going through them as fast as he could. Having me repeat what he 'd just done was an add together incentive. Finally we stopped as he turned toward me.

'' I 'm afraid that is the extent of all that I know. '' Reaching out his work force he started to scan me then his centre went wide. `` By all the great power of the existence ! Your control is almost gross. I 'm afraid that my brother is the but one left that can learn or show you now. Though from what I feel you are quickly gaining on him. ''

'' I 'm not so surely Mordy, '' daddy spoke up. `` Just how long has it been since you net saw your brother ? ''

Mordaf was deep in thought a consequence then stated, `` Not that long 'bout five hundred old age. ''

Pops nodded then dropped a bombshell, `` Mordy your brother 's power has almost doubled in the last few hundred class ! ''

Mordaf 's sass was now hanging candid, `` By all that 's holy ! He told me he was trying to do it. I never thought that he would succeed ! Tell me did he always seem to sustain a minuscule dark green jewel with him ? ''

Pops was tranquillize for a few mo then nodded affirmatory. `` Why, was this of significance ? ''

'' Uh yeah ! I take it you never heard of the founding stone ? '' Mordaf told papa who looked at me as I just shrugged.

'' Uh, no not really. '' popping told him.

Mordaf could only shake his pass. `` By all that 's holy ! What are they teaching the untried mages these 24-hour interval at the school ? ''

Looking at me with a questioning smell I shrugged again telling him, `` I do n't really remember anything about it. I was only in my first ten days division. ''

Mordaf nodded then went on with his narrative. `` The founding stone is a mystery a good deal like the Philosopher 's gem. Though I have heard it is three metre harder to make, taking a hundred twelvemonth. This is as compared to twenty five for the Philosopher 's pit. ''

'' Ok I 've heard of the Philosopher 's Stone the entirely turning foundation metal into gold. Call me stupid but really I 've never heard of the founding Harlan Stone. '' I told Mordaf with all sincerity.

'' You were n't as far as I thought you were, '' turning to Pops he stated. `` You though studied with me. I damn sure enough heard of it. '' When pops still looked confuse Mordaf sighed and continued. `` The founding stone enables a magic user to increase their power and consistency to the point it is permanent. If my pal has accomplished this then yes, he is the but one who can teach or indicate you now. ''

'' So you have shown me all that you can do ? '' I asked.

Nodding Mordaf replied, `` I 'm afraid so. Though I have to tell you your big businessman is far beyond almost all mages. As you feared though it still is n't as high as the council leader, even though it would take all he has to defeat you that 's for for sure. ''

I nodded as I thought about the situation for a few moments. `` If I am as strong as you say, '' here I looked at soda. `` Should n't I be able to get to him Pops ? I know you said he has a lot of top executive but still. ''

'' I 'm not so sure Toman. Last I checked he had some extremely powerful sentry duty on the island keeping everyone and everything away. He wanted no interruptions while he was resting, hell I ca n't charge him ! '' Pops said with prominent eyes as he could see that I was considering going anyway.

I nodded as I turned trying to get a bearing on when and where this island was. Again I nodded as I suddenly felt Falco columbarius. I turned back to Pops and Mordaf, `` I can feel him deep within the protection of the island. It feels as if I can get about half way to him. ''

Pops walked to me, `` Please be careful Toman. The stopping point I saw he had some really knock-down sentries. ''

'' I will down, '' turning to Mordaf I said, `` tell Naci I will be back as soon as I can then we can work on her defenses. ''

I was about to flash out when a voice behind me stopped me cold. `` So you are in such a hurry you couldn't tell your bride to be where you are going ? damn it Toman you have to be the most infuriating male I have ever met ! Here I thought begetter was difficult ! Had you not ignored me, '' here she also turned toward Mordaf, `` both of you ! Then this post with the hunter would n't bear happened in the first base blank space. Argh ! You make me so mad ! '' Walking up to Toman she pointed a slender finger's breadth in his fount. `` You better come back or you might actually see what an experient wild magic user can do ! '' With a sicken grunt Naci whirled and marched away.

All three of the males could only watch her as she quickly receded into the distance. Pops shook his head chuckling, and then leaned down to me closing my oral cavity. `` Boy, I think you serious heed what she 'd said. The wrath of a womanhood in love can be a very powerful affair ! You might think you have superpower, she has a king that you 'll never be able-bodied to get over. ''

I was nodding to pop music as I was ineffectual to require my centre off the receding form of Naci. By the power of the universe when had she suddenly become so damn good looking ? Finally she moved out of sight allowing me to tear my eyes away from where she 'd been. I had just started to sprain back to Pops when I heard Naci.

[ You had better call back Toman ! Do n't make me issue forth after you ! ] Her thoughts said.

I swallowed hard at the military unit of her persuasion. [ I wo n't block Naci, how the hell could I ? ] I replied.

[ Good ! I 'll be waiting for you. You 'd better hurry I need to train also. You are the only one strong enough for me to cultivate with ! At least that way I wo n't be as easy to overtake again ! ] Came her cerebration then all was quiet.

I could only agitate my head after that exchange. Nodding to both pop music and Mordaf I concentrated, opened a vena portae then stepped through. As I was moving forward I suddenly felt a big businessman pushing against the hepatic portal vein. Damn I thought Merlin had all bases covered ! The closer to the end I got the more than baron I felt pushing against me and the portal.

Finally I opened up pushing back against whatever was trying to stop me from reaching the end. Finally after what felt like hours I felt the end of the portal. The suddenly I was flying out of the end at a high-pitched speed !

Stopping in an instant I saw that the trees and vegetation was a lot prominent than normal. Smiling I could see that Merlin had been extremely busybodied. Looking at the earth I was n't all that sure it was rubber to be down there. Floating forward I had n't gone more than twenty pes when I felt myself sinking toward the priming coat.

Shaking my head I increased my power going farther airborne. I might have got gotten another fifty feet when I saw that I was starting to fall out of the sky again. Pushing my business leader up even further I finally started to feel the dampening upshot that was over the integral island. I was n't going to make it all the way to him but I might get a Inferno of a lot closer. It was just going to take a lot of density.

I made it about another five hundred yards when I just shook my oral sex and landed. By my computation I was more than one-half way to him. It should n't be that hard to walk to him. Even as I landed I saw movement ass and in front of me. Suddenly quite a few Brobdingnagian reptiles walked and leaped out of the heights supergrass. Some of then issued hissing growls as they steadily stalked me. Waving my manus well over half of then vanished with eerie shrieking. The rest stopped, blinking at where the others had been.

All of a sudden a lot of those left started to hiss at me. Growling myself I did n't deliver time for this as I started to power up again. A vocalism behind me stopped me from releasing the energy.

'' I do n't know who you are you mage, it is impolite to destruct another 's conception ; especially when they are only doing their job. '' The voice said as I turned around. With a wide smiling I saw that I had found Merlin after all or rather he had me .
