Ben appeared in a special room that had been prepared ten geezerhood ago for Jonathan, sighing Ben thought all this time, this would have been over a X ago if Jonathan was n't as obstinate as Ben 's comrade had been. Checking the boy, Ben was sure he was still out, but shaking his chief he was n't sure they had that practically fourth dimension Jonathan was far solid than he at first appeared. Finally the respite of the council appeared sealing the room, Ben actually crossed his finger laughing at his homo wise-tale, but hey anything that worked. Sure enough not ten minutes later Jonathan awoke wearing a flavor of shock which quickly turned to a snarling rage.

'' You really think you can reserve me Ben ? Though I have to accept, this is indeed a beneficial trap you obviously do n't clear just how substantial my major power has grown. ``

Ben only nodded almost afraid to address, the boy was properly no one really realized except him, turning he advised the council of this. Almost immediately they increased the major power of the room, Jonathan could only smile at least they were taking this seriously. Jonathan sat in the centerfield of the room and closed his eyes, Ben was n't fooled and told the council they needed to speed, the boy was building up. For an hour the council took readings learning far more than than they had in countless centuries before. From all they got almost anyone could memory access the unwarranted magic trick, with a serious amount of concentration, Jonathan needed null the likes of that as it came to him naturally. The only job with the wild magic was it often burned out the user 's psyche with over use and no control. As Ben suspected Jonathan had almost double-dyed ascendancy over it, learning the lock over the last few hundred years.

Back at the livelihood Lana was finally on her feet, getting ready to entrust she was stopped at the room access by a smirking Trina, `` I have to go house, I have to find Jonathan ! '' Lana said as she tried to displace past Trina.

'' I 'm afraid I ca n't let you go Lana, if what mother and I felt is true you 'll throw to stick around human for a while thirster ! '' Trina exclaimed excited.

'' Huh ? '' Lana started, `` what are you talking about ? ``

With a huge grin Trina placed a bridge player on Lana 's stomach, `` I 'm talking about this here, '' Trina gently massaged Lana 's breadbasket. `` We ca n't make you hurting yourself, plus you need to stay homo for at least a week. ``

Lana still confused could only stare at her best champion Trina, still it had n't dawned on her what Trina meant.

'' I think what she means Lana my dear, is that you are meaning, '' came a voice behind both of the women.

Still wearing a look of confusedness it slowly dawned on Lana, just what the interpreter had said. Then a sly and truly happy smiling began to spread across her face.

'' He warned me that I might be, I had n't thought of it at the prison term but if I am then I can truly be happy. '' Lana said almost in a whisper. `` I have to say my mother ! She has to experience ! I have to go and ... ''

'' I can order her Lana, '' Evelyn said walking up behind Lana, `` you need to rest, the next few workweek are going to be hard on you. ``

Lana just nodded going back to the bed, an even bigger smile on her face, she was carrying Jonathan 's baby !

lady Vishnew was going over finances, she 'd missed her daughter the hold up ten eld she 'd just closed her Bible when she received a thought.

< Vish ? It 's Evelyn. > Came the thought.

< Yes Evelyn, is everything well there ? > gentlewoman Vishnew replied.

< I need you to come over here I can bring you but it must be just you that knows, do n't secern Vidon. > Evelyn instructed.

< Give me an time of day then contact me, > Lady Vishnew said.

It was barely an minute later that Lady Vishnew appeared in the room with Evelyn and Trina Timmins, and mortal on the bed. ma'am Vishnew 's mouth dropped surface, Lana ! Throwing her arms around her daughter true tears of happiness began to flow from her eyes rip that been held back for over ten yr now.

Evelyn and Trina left the room ; it was more Lana 's blank space to evidence her mother than them. They 'd only been in the hallway for a few minute of arc when they heard lady Vishnew shout, looking in they saw that Lana and her mother were hugging fiercely. Lana 's female parent 's font held a myriad of emotions ranging from shock and disbelief to absolute joy and happiness. Lana on the other hired hand was smirking though she had n't planned on it, she was sword lily for what she and Jonathan had done on the island, now she just needed him back in her arms.

Tom had felt Evelyn pull out Lady Vishnew over to the sustenance though he did n't bonk why he was trusted they were up to no good. If Tom had learned one thing in over a thousand days, it was to not stab too far into what his wife was doing, that is unless it involved their children.

Tom was at his wag end he 'd tried to contact the council, and all but one of them were unavailable. The one senior had hurried him along seemingly too officious to engage in conversation for long. Then there was his Uncle Ben, he 'd been there not long after Jonathan had disappeared then poof ! He too had seemed to drop off the earth. Just what in the hell was going on ? Why was Tom afraid that it all had something to do with his malefactor son ? Shaking his principal he walked his territory, no sensory faculty going to the keep not with all the women there, probably get another brow beating by his wife about sticking his nose into female business again. Growling he felt like something incredibly important was about to find and everyone was purposely keeping all entropy about it a secret from him. Walking to the outer most edge he opened the sealed bank vault that he knew of, now that Jonathan had found one C of years ago. Walking to the huge capsule he laid the pieces of the Rinora watch crystal within it, sighing he looked over at the other four. It was a unspoilt thing Jonathan had only gotten the Rinora. It was the least powerful of the five, well four now though the security department had to be increased so that no one else could release any of the others. Looking them over he remembered the gaining control of all of them when he was a boy. The worst he stopped at, it 's massive security Tom never felt was enough it had decimated the entire council. A good many Mages had died that day, Tom remembered it was his grandfather 's sacrifice that had sealed the stark immorality of the quartz. He could still take heed his grandad telling him to guard them well and what spells to use, then the crying falling from his heart his grandfather had sent him away, horrified Tom watched his grandfather die. The old man had been consumed then it was all quiet, doing as his grandfather had instructed he 'd seal off the crystal, then each in crook as it was gathered. It still eat away at Tom that he could n't have done Thomas More to help, he 'd loved his grandpa his own beginner destroyed by several vampire kinship group right before he 'd been born. Tom had to question if that was why he was so dead set against his son ? All the horror he 'd seen from the revilement of power was that why he was so afraid ?

Locking up, Tom was heading back towards the livelihood when he felt a comrade touch sensation one he 'd missed in the last few hundred age. `` Hello Vidon, what brings you out tonight ? '' Tom said to the darkness.

'' Damn it Tom, you could apply a vampire a coordination compound if it were possible, I take it you felt Vishnew at your keep ? '' Godhead Vidon replied.

'' Yes, '' Tom sighed, `` I decided it was time to check security measures, before something like ten old age ago happens again. Besides I have n't won a undivided argument with Evelyn in over 1000 year, I do n't think I am going to suddenly come out tonight. ``

Jehovah Vidon chuckled slapping Tom on the shoulder, `` Ah my acquaintance ! I too am in the same quandary, Lady Vishnew seems to have an reply for every question I have to ask her. Infuriatingly as it is she always seems to gain more sense. ``

Here Creator Vidon thought a moment, `` Well almost everything, the Triog wars 1000 years ago, I decided to not heed to her, had I, none of us would have been here now. ``

'' I know the belief, '' Tom said, `` It was the same during the Mage war 1200 year ago I had to go but Evelyn insisted that I stay, it was war, and I could n't, though I tell you, it damn near killed her ! '' Lord Vidon nodded, `` Yes, if I remember right, Vishnew told me that if I were to be destroyed she 'd no longer be able to go on. I miss the old days when trueness was far more crucial than anything else. ``

'' It 's this new world that they discovered in America, it has given exemption to the masses, they feel they no longer have need of us it 's a disgrace though the power that we wield will still be there just not believed in as a good deal. '' noble Vidon answered.

'' I think it will always be those with the money that will always have the power, I do n't see that changing any time soon. '' Tom said.

'' My son especially, unknown affair I ca n't contact the Mage council. '' Tom told Lord Vidon.

'' Strangely enough the vampire council has also been indisposed the finish two days, unusual things happening in these strange times my friend. '' Lord Vidon said. `` Since my keep has none of the female person mien at the present time what say you and I retire there 'til such fourth dimension as the female person decide that they have need of us again eh ? ``

Tom 's middle lit up he always loved to go to Vidon 's support, the chronicle there was somewhat old than that at his hold. `` Uh, '' Tom started, `` you would n't still have that 500 class old scotch would you ? ``

'' For you Tom, I think we can break out the 700 year old ! '' Divine Vidon replied.

Walking off neither saw the young boy take off for the keep. Reaching the front door the boy ran all the way up the stairs to Evelyn. `` I saw them both Lady Evelyn ! '' The boy exclaimed out of hint from running, `` They were both heading to Maker Vidon 's keep. '' Leaning close he whispered, `` They were talking about drinking old stuff called scotch ! ``

Thanking the boy Evelyn walked into the room to tell Lady Vishnew.

'' Oh honey ! '' dame Vishnew laughed, `` It appears that our husband feel as if we no yearner need them ! ``

'' What make you say that ? '' Evelyn asked.

'' Why my love they are both human and they 're going to get drunk. retrieve the finally time they pulled this ? '' Lady Vishnew asked.

Evelyn 's eyes got huge, `` the Triog state of war ! I believe not long after Tom discovered that they were both human around each other. I also remember they were drunk for well over a workweek ! Ugh ! I also remember the smell ! Vish we have to stop this ! ``

'' How do you nominate we do that ? Remember the in conclusion time ? We both ended up fraught, disconsolate but I am far too old to be that way again ! '' madam Vishnew said.

'' Oh inferno ! '' Evelyn cried, and then laughed herself, `` You are so veracious ! Something needs to be done though, I do n't consider I 'll ever get that smell out of my nous ! ``

'' I might experience an thought for that, though I 'm going to need your help. We 'll feature to expect 'til they pass out a while before we do it though. ``

Two days later both Lord Vidon and Tom Timmings awoke both sporting hellacious hang overs, looking down at themselves then at each other, they both started to laugh. They were both were sitting on respective sheet of paper that were in fact all around them, plus the fact that they were both stark naked did nothing to dissuade the laugh. They 'd both just sat up reaching for another bottle when there was an tremendous explosion off in the distance.

Both stumbled out the door holding their read/write head and venter, looking to the west they both saw the Brobdingnagian editorial of skunk rising from what Tom saw was near the council headquarters.

Lady Vishnew and Evelyn were feeling pretty proficient, the programme they 'd carried out would at least insure that the livelihood would n't smack like a brewery or unfit a imbibing baseball club that their husbands had frequented before. They were just sitting to have tea when up stairs they heard Lana screaming at the top of her vocalization. Rushing to her way it was taking all the four fair sex in the room could do to hold her in bed.

'' NO ! NO JONATHAN ! DON '' T DO IT ! PLEASE ! '' She was screaming over and over. Then there was a sudden explosion west of the living. `` NO JONATHAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ``

Then Lana was unconscious mind, Evelyn started to finger a immense power moving toward them. Oh my god ! It was Jonathan ! His power was immense many, many times slap-up than the early day when he brought Lana to the keep .'I have to observe her dependable ,'Evelyn thought, quickly she changed Lana everything about her Jonathan was n't the only when mage that could do a wipe. Grabbing Lady Vishnew and Lana ; Evelyn flashed them both to a lowly shanty between both of the keeps.

Tom and Vidon watched as something streaked over nous heading to Tom 's keep. Thanking Vidon, Tom started to stumble toward his keep, though they both felt they were n't wanted any more Tom still felt he had to protect the women of the menage. Just out of website of Vidon 's living he felt his tycoon outset to recall, flashing quickly to the dungeon, he found no sign of his son, wife nor Lord Vidon 's wife. Now what the hell was going on ? It had felt like Jonathan flashing over but he had n't felt him go forth. Searching the livelihood he found his daughter hiding in a corner a expression of threat on her face.

'' Trina ! '' Tom yelled getting no response from her, he turned her look to his.

Tears were streaming from her eyes. `` pa ? '' she sobbed out. `` We have to help Jonathan he is so angry, I 've never seen such furore as he had on his face. Please Daddy, I know you are mad at him but you have to serve him, you are the only one who can. You have the power in you, Johnny told me you did just like gramps. Please Daddy, you have to, if you do n't it will bolt down him, he is volition to die rather than hurt anyone else. ``

NO ! Thought Tom not again ! Sighing he knew what he had to do but was n't sure he could, he 'd suppressed the power for so long. It had taken a foresighted time to gain the control he had, it took almost dying to gain it.

'' I 'll do what I can but I 'm not sure I can anymore, I shut it off so long ago. '' Tom said almost in a whisper.

It meant exposing his secret that he 'd hidden for well over a thousand years, exposing himself to the ridicule and disgrace that he suffered all those centuries ago. Trina looked up at her father he was the only Leslie Townes Hope for them all.

Tom sighed and flashed out to where the council headquarters was, that was the classic word was. There was n't much but debris, fire, and a lot of wring earth. Reaching out Tom began to feel the council members, several were badly hurt, but at to the lowest degree they were alive. Taking a deep breath Tom reached in as deep as he could, feeling the endless well of mogul that was there. Slowly he brought it out 'til he felt it was enough then simply made a sweeping motion and the rubble was gone.

Ben 's oral cavity dropped unresolved he 'd never seen his nephew video display that kind of power. With one hand Tom lifted all the council out of the junk field, with the other he waved his hand and the building was whole and complete again.

'' Yes Ben I have it also, I have n't used it in over 1000 years. '' Tom said.

Ben limped to Tom looked him in the eye, `` You 've had this much control of the state of nature thaumaturgy and you did n't think to help your son ? ! '' Shaking his head Ben punched his Nephew in the face. `` You hypocrite ! You son of a bitch ! All this fucking time ! ``

Tom picked himself off the earth, hanging his head he could only agree.

'' You have to save him ; you are the only one that can ! '' Ben screamed. Tom reached out he could feel Jonathan, his power was almost clog, if it was n't stopped soon the boy would burst forth taking several thousands of miles of everything near him with him. Tom started to break chase feeling Jonathan 's big businessman still increasing though for some reason it had finally started to slow.

AN HOUR BEFORE THE explosion

Jonathan had searched the way a dozen times feeling every weakness every inch of the stone. He 'd started to build up his power it should be high enough to get out of here soon. Looking out at Ben he could see that the man was n't felicitous, why not ? He 'd helped to beguile a dangerous felon, though here Jonathan smiled, he would n't be captured much longer. Ben could see that Jonathan was becoming calmer as each day passed though he was n't for sure what he was up to. They 'd finally see that though he had great controller he still only had a little more than one-half what he needed. All the mental testing done, Ben was more worry about Jonathan than their damn decision. Ben watched him for almost an hour the council arguing and discussing, Ben noticed that Jonathan 's skin was starting to glow. 'Oh shit ,'Ben thought, reaching out he grabbed the council throwing a buckler around them, looking back he saw Jonathan remain firm, nod at him then the entire edifice exploded. Damn it Ben thought I underestimated him again .
