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

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

'' What 's ill-timed Johnathon ? '' She asked completely incognizant of the fits 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 unsuccessful person I am to my ally. '' Johnathon said. This was a shock to her, hearing Tyrome Tell it, he owed Johnathon and would never be able to pay him back. Shaking her head she wondered how the men ever got very far with so many misunderstandings.

Placing the dependent inside her shirt tucked safely between her breasts she heard Johnathon suspiration in relief. `` I 'm disconsolate my honey, '' she started, `` I was just absently holding it thinking of our child and how howling 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 hundred of legal separation and the mistake, I am more than happy to try and pass water up for it. ''

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

Tom just shook his psyche at this rate Johnathon would n't be to concentrate at all.

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

A brace of eyes watched the proceedings as Tom and Johnathon practiced, ‘ I have to inform the council,'the eyes owner thought. ‘ If they keep this up then Johnathon will ascend to the side that his father time lag, this ca n't happen if the council was to ever get out from under the metrical foot of the Timmings.'Flashing out the spy did n't see Ben Timmings watching from further back, ‘ So, Ben thought, ‘ they have taken to spying on the keep.'flashing 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 living ; he also informed Tom that the council had n't been too proud of that Ben had sent young Tyrome on ahead to the hatchet man schooltime removing him from active duty as a bounty hunter.

'' 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 sure three mages. I am sure you are familiar with their names. Clondus, Torbert, and no surprise, Alaze Odium. ''

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

As quietly 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 shock he 'd never listen Tom voice displeasure this strongly before maybe this was a good thing after all for ALL concerned. `` We need to have plans as of right now, if I know that ass the way I do he 's already got something in the works to destruct Johnathon. This will not encounter I will vote out that bastard long before he even gets close to Johnathon. ''

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

'' I want you to keep eyes on the spy or spies as I am sure they will send more than one. It appears that I may birth to move up the sentence table and confront 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 commemorate it was my forefather, your Brother that wrote well over half the council rules. Also remember that I helped to spell a few of them as well after father was killed. I am more than acquainted with all the rules, I still have a trump calling card I can make for if forged comes to worse. ''

Ben nodded he had to admit 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 for sure he had them all if they did n't jibe to his terms. Within moments all of the members appeared, though a little disconcert none were as upset as Odium and Clondus.

'' I have called an emergency encounter of the council to put to breathe all the wild hearsay that have been circulating. '' Tom started.

'' Yes as would I, '' a dour faced and most unpleasant sounding abhorrence, `` under Magic law 5000, I ask for the carrying out of Johnathon Timmings. '' So the bastard had read the al-Qur'an after all.

'' Magic law 5000 ? I am unfamiliar with that one. '' A unseasoned council phallus stated.

Waving his hand Tom Timmings made the bombastic book appear again and started to read. `` It is hereby the determination of the council that the incompetent and wanton use of wild magic is outlawed. The said use of savage magic will be punishable by death, the execution to take place immediately under the watchful eye of a sub-council male member of the Timmings mob. '' There were several gasps as each realized that Tom Timmings had the ultimate say in almost all they did.

Tom looked at Odium who wore a sick and twisted spirit of delectation on his face at the thought process of the destruction of Tom 's son. Tom just started to smile and looked directly at odium,"So you really want to go that way huh ? '' Tom asked, when odium 's face gained a sick and implike grin, Tom just smiled back with the same intensity.

'' As many of you know my don and grandfather wrote well over 75 % of the council book. What you may not know is its entire capacity. My family has been possessor of the wild conjuration for many, many one C now ; we were all trained and can manipulate it far better than well-nigh can their normal 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 hollo the destruction of the council chambers or the injury of almost half its members ? I call for his death NOW ! ``

Still smiling Tom looked at him then the rest of the council, `` Under respective articles of the council Holy Writ I can forebode for the disbanding of the council for the illegal capture and examination of my son. Nothing allows the council to act without first advising the sub-council, what their action mechanism are and will be. If councilman Odium continues to push this upshot I will take the council disbanded in disgrace, his title removed and his council memory removed. ''

Looking straight into Odium 's eyes, Tom said, `` Your play councilman. ''

The color had drained from his facial expression as the relief of the council shot looking of dying at him, `` I ... I did n't know ! '' He shouted.

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

Turning his back Tom started to leave. There was a sudden ruckus behind him then a hollo warning, Tom felt rather than saw the huge fireball that flew at him. Tom stopped as did the ball of fire, turning he saw that detestation was laughing wickedly, that is 'til he saw Tom sigh and shake his head slowly. Tom slowly pushed the fireball back at Odium ; holy terror on his aspect grew as it engulfed his buckler.

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

'' You are sentenced to a twelvemonth without powers, after that, descend after my class and I will have the right to drink down you, '' drawing closer to him Tom quietly snarled, `` It will be most unpleasant and might take a long time to accomplish. ''

Letting the man driblet in a tidy sum Tom bowed to the council and advised, `` I believe you need another council phallus, 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 suppose real hard before you make another move. '' With that Tom flashed out leaving an open-mouthed council staring at the weeping cumulus of flesh on the chamber flooring.

Ben had been in hiding the integral meter a huge good sense of pride on his face, Tom had not only keep on his aplomb but had done everything by their own linguistic rule to put up no protest later. Though he had to acknowledge as another smile lit up his face the removing of the half-wit powers had been a bonus. ‘ Huh,'Ben thought, ‘ so his brother had taught his son to move out might. So now there were three he knew of well two,'Tyrome was still learning, but he could choke up almost all now, so pretty last.

Tom appeared in the praxis M and erected several target, then started to smash the blaze out of them. Sighing Tom knew this was n't going to be enough. Opening the tycoon slightly, Tom flashed out to the same removed islands that Johnathon had destroyed ; bringing the islands back Tom started the altogether cut-rate sale destruction of all of them again. A few minutes later he heard a interpreter behind him, `` nether region and you said I was heedless ! ''

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

Tom 's mouthpiece dropped open ; that was the most innovative skill of control Johnathon had shown and without Lana there !

'' Yeah I finally figured what you had been doing to progress up my control, I started a few physical exertion of my own, and it has helped quite a bit. So feel better ? '' Johnathon smiled as he looked at the intense smell on his father 's face.

'' more than than you 'll make out, so throw you been capable to open it yet ? '' Tom asked looking at the power that Johnathon was showing.

'' Almost half way now, 'bout 5 or 6 time of day now. I heard what you did in the William Chambers ; here I thought you were an unfeeling motherfucker all these years. That you were training me out of obligation, I want to know about granddad. I 've heard that his controller made both of ours look like a joke. '' Johnathon told Tom.

Tom nodded and said, `` Almost, I am close now, if you remember our fight I did n't bring out everything 'til the very end I did n't have to. Remember with the lock once you open it your powerfulness is slightly amplified, though at the end I have to accommodate you were starting to overpower me, I barely got it all the way open when you hit me. ''

Johnathon was nodding taking in everything his father was telling him, the fact that his father had defended him in the give council chambers had spoken volumes to Johnathon.

An 60 minutes later, Tom had Johnathon performing a number of harder and harder project. When each went better than he thought they should, the superbia on Tom 's cheek started to point. `` I 'd say you have no less that 90 % ascendence now, one last exam for today. I want you to give the shield as far as you can. '' Nodding Tom watched as Johnathon began to spread out the magical power shield over his king, nodding Tom saw that he 'd already mastered the smooth first step of it. At half Tom smiled very good, at 3/4 Tom was even prouder. Finally almost all the way open air Tom saw that Johnathon was starting to contend to keep it open, so this was the beginning sentence he 'd got it open that far, excellent !

'' Alright Johnathon back it off and the barrier will close '' Nodding Johnathon did as his father said and the superpower slowly at first then faster began to decline.
'' Very soundly you are almost completely ready now, another day or two and I think you 'll be prepare. '' Tom told his son. Johnathon looked shocked he thought it would take at to the lowest degree two calendar month of training not five and a half weeks. Looking over at his founding father to make sure he 'd try right he saw his father shake off his head yes.

That dark, in the wickedness many powerful mages moved through the forest towards the bread and butter. The honest-to-god looking leader of the men wore a dark and cruel look that reached all the way to his middle. Smiling a wicked grinning he started to surround the dungeon with a power lock down spell no one had never broken, but just in guinea pig he had more than enough powerful mages out here to vote out the bread and butter drawing card and his son. Smiling he thought of the keep drawing card's wife and daughter, ummm they would be unfermented beneath him when he took them by force laughing he had so many plaything he was going to satiate them wide-cut of. After all the matter theses do-gooders had done they were going to suffer and suffer greatly.

The adjacent morning Tom felt the thaumaturgy doughnut erected around the keep, smiling this magic spell felt conversant. Reaching out Tom touched it and opened a hole as easily as ripping a spell of paper. Laughing 'til he felt the extremely muscular effect outside the hoop. Hmmmm it was a just thing Johnathon had as often control as he did this would realise affair a little easier when they went to battle.

career Johnathon Tom advised him what was going on then he sent message to Ben. The council was advised that there would be a massive amount of last out by the keep so they might want to prepare. Ben asked if they needed him and Tom thought for a bit. `` You have to use the power Ben ; yes I know you have it, sire told me not too long before he died. I know your control is far keen than his was I ca n't even palpate yours. ''

Sighing Ben decided he 'd been hiding long enough and this was his house, or what was left of it. Tom also contacted Creator Vidon to let him know, he could get wind Vidon growling when he heard that his friend and neighbor was under attack. Tom asked him to keep out of it, these mages were of a gamey caliber than to the highest degree that Vidon had been against, Vidon laughed and told Tom not to worry he was far more powerful than Tom thought.

Stepping out near the barrier Tom addressed the massed group. `` What is the meaning of this ? You are trespassing on my family 's earth leave now while you still can stay and I can not warrant any will leave alive.

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

'' Do n't let the son of a cunt goad you ! You 'll consume your power and be an easy prey ! '' The loss leader yelled from the uttermost dorsum of all of the men. ‘ So,'Tom thought, ‘ that 's where you are, need to commend that for later on.'

Tom waved a hand at five of the ten and they were instantly engulfed in fire, dropping they were dead within a simple instant. Smiling, Tom thought ‘ well that 's five, it might even make a departure later,'`` Please, I do n't know who you are but you have no chance 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 office to 3/4 the jump did n't go unnoticed.

'' That 's it men he 's almost at wax power even he ca n't final stage forever ! '' Tom fired killing another six then three more, even more protrude to fire at him, ‘ Damn it,'Tom thought, ‘ I ca n't kill them fast enough !'Suddenly there was a immense blast and twenty of those in front of him disappeared.

'' I 've got your back forefather ! '' Tom heard Johnathon shout as he took another twenty out reducing the gust hitting Tom to less than half.

Tom and Johnathon started to use cover killing as many as they could each metre. When the ring finally collapsed Tom smiled and erected his own barrier, this shocked those on the back English, and now the full violence was in movement of them. An hour later Tom and Johnathon had both been hit several multiplication and were bleeding from respective places. They were holding their own when an errant attack hit Tom knocking him out, there were various wicked laughs.

They were 'til they felt Johnathon 's anger grow as did his power, taking out quite a few, Johnathon managed to get Tom under covert. Another slam hit Johnathon in the arm effectively numbing it, still firing Johnathon was n't surely if he could take hold out much prospicient when there was shouting at the spinal column of the enemy's business.

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

Out in the credit line many riot started to voice as respective of the mages disappeared, back to back the mages finally started to get a handle on thing but their forces were now at half what they had been.

Lord Vidon looked at the carnage before him ; his men had grabbed half of the men and ripped their throats out. Damn it they were starting to fight now, and then he felt an extremely powerful business leader estate next to Johnathon. good he was there finally, for the succeeding minute things grew somewhat quiet, there were still a great many mages out there, and many of them had substantial power. Ben appeared next to Johnathon crap ! Johnathon was bleeding from his face munition branch 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 meld with the power, what the hell ? Ben felt as knock-down as he 'd been when he fought father ! Ben started to drift then rose above the trees. Maker Vidon felt him and withdrew all his men. Ben 's face was a masque of hatred and cult ; his center were like flack his handwriting were glowing as the force started to reduce there in them. In a stentorian vocalization Ben looked at all the men, `` I 'll give all of you a chance to walk away, you have this one hazard, and then you are all in, think about it you have 1 minute ! ''

Several of the men talked among themselves then flashed out, Ben smiled so they were n't all idiots ! The rest that remained laughed and pointed at Ben opening attack at once, shrugging it off Ben 's temper started to grow as did his powerfulness. All the men on the ground laughed and fired even harder, when nothing happened they started to get worried. Ben started to smile and pointed at each man as each started to scream, and then die. The drawing card flashed out, imprecate it he thought the plan had been gross ! Five proceedings later Ben settled next to Johnathon the odour of roasting flesh was everywhere, gently Ben lifted a now semi conscious Johnathon and flashed to the keep.

Evelyn screamed in rage when she saw Johnathon covered in rakehell though a good bit of it was his fathers. Lana growled looking at the many cuts and burns on his physical structure, Johnathon tried to sit up and nearly fell.

'' Sit still ; let your female parent heal you I have to go after the drawing card. You are unspoilt son, and your father trained you extremely well but he did n't recognize everything, but we can discuss that later. '' Ben flashed out to a keep a few mi from theirs and began to look around hmmm zip, appearing in several more than that he suspected Ben was a little disappointed. Sighing, Ben thought, ‘ Well one to a greater extent than I 'll have to rethink who might let been behind this.'Searching around he finally felt the power theme song 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 home 's keep ! Appearing in the sitting room Ben saw that he 'd been right about the vitality but had to be sure.

There with his arm around Evelyn 's neck was the paterfamilias of the Pompoff class !

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

'' Hello bastard, '' the old man said to Ben, `` 'bout clock time I got a chance to bolt down a few of the whores in this category ! '' The old man laughed, licking the slope of Evelyn 's aspect, `` 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 throat out. `` NO ONE touches my mother, you son of a bitch ! '' Johnathon growled as the man fell on the floor blood pumping out as his death rattle started. Johnathon smiled at his mother and a shocked Ben ; then the man went black, shucks he thought, ‘ this suction !'

Two twenty-four hours later Johnathon awoke with a jerk, where the the pits was he ? Looking over he saw Lana asleep in a chair next to the bed. Reaching out he felt the entire council was there, as was Ben, and ... Tyrome ? Groaning Johnathon tried to get out of bed, almost falling as the elbow room began to spin Johnathon groaned again this time Lana awoke.

'' Ah my love you 're finally wake ! '' Shouting the others came in, Tyrome at the back ; shaking his principal it seemed that a lot of affair that had happened were still fuzzy. A moment later his Father of the Church limped in, `` I 'm proud of you son you took a licking but you saved us all 'til Ben and Vidon arrived. ''

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

'' Checking up on an old friend I heard you were hurt, besides Ben asked me to help. '' 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
