Johnathon watched as Lana fingered the tree shaped pendant, he was still in a bad mood, he thought he and Tyrome were finally even. Here the ass had given them protection for their child ; Johnathon knew that Tyrome had more also. He was never going to be capable 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 legal injury Johnathon ? '' She asked completely unaware of the burst 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 seismic disturbance to her, hearing Tyrome Tell it, he owed Johnathon and would never be able-bodied to pay him back. Shaking her head she wondered how the men ever got very far with so many mistaking.

Placing the pendent inside her shirt tucked safely between her breasts she heard Johnathon sigh in easement. `` I 'm blue my passion, '' she started, `` I was just absently holding it thinking of our child and how grand 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 centuries of separation and the misunderstandings, I am Thomas More than happy to try and get up for it. ''

Lana leaned into his kiss, `` Ummmm if it keeps variety 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 smiling.

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

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

A couple of centre watched the transactions as Tom and Johnathon practiced, ‘ I have to inform the council,'the optic owner thought. ‘ If they keep this up then Johnathon will ascend to the posture that his sire detention, 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 further back, ‘ So, Ben thought, ‘ they have taken to spying on the keep.'flashing in nearly Tom, Ben motioned him close so he could let Tom live 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 dynamic duty as a premium hunter.

'' I tell you I caught more than an going-over about that for several hours, I watched them all as you told me ; it seems that the most boisterous are a certain three mages. I am sure you are associate with their figure. Clondus, Torbert, and no surprisal, Alaze Odium. ''

This last had Tom hissing then growling, that asshole 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 electric shock he 'd never heard Tom vocalization displeasure this strongly before maybe this was a salutary matter after all for ALL concerned. `` We need to earn plans as of rightfulness now, if I know that ass the way I do he 's already got something in the works to demolish Johnathon. This will not bump I will drink down that son of a bitch long before he even gets close to Johnathon. ''

Ben could only stare at his nephew this was most novel auditory sense Tom speak as emotionally as he was.

'' I want you to continue middle on the spy or spies as I am certain they will broadcast Sir Thomas More than one. It appears that I may sustain to move up the time table and face 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 commend it was my forefather, your comrade that wrote well over half the council rules. Also remember that I helped to write a few of them as well after don was killed. I am more than acquainted with all the formula, I still have a trump placard I can play if worse comes to worse. ''

Ben nodded he had to admit Tom was always trying to consider 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 fit to his terms. Within moments all of the members appeared, though a little upset none were as upset as Odium and Clondus.

'' I have called an parking brake meeting of the council to put to remain all the wild rumour that have been circulating. '' Tom started.

'' Yes as would I, '' a tartness faced and most unpleasant sounding Odium, `` under Magic law 5000, I ask for the execution of Johnathon Timmings. '' So the mongrel had read the book after all.

'' deception law 5000 ? I am unfamiliar with that one. '' A younger council fellow member stated.

Waving his hired hand Tom Timmings made the large record book appear again and started to read. `` It is hereby the decision of the council that the unskilled and luxuriate use of wild magic is outlawed. The said use of untamed deception will be penal by demise, the execution of instrument to take home immediately under the sleepless eyes of a sub-council male member of the Timmings fellowship. '' There were respective gasp as each realized that Tom Timmings had the ultimate say in almost all they did.

Tom looked at Odium who wore a sick and sprain feel of delight on his aspect at the thought of the decease of Tom 's son. Tom just started to smile and looked directly at abhorrence,"So you really want to go that way huh ? '' Tom asked, when Odium 's face gained a sick and revolting smile, Tom just smiled back with the Lapp saturation.

'' As many of you know my Padre and grandfather wrote well over 75 % of the council book. What you may not roll in the hay is its entire contents. My family has been possessor of the wild legerdemain for many, many centuries now ; we were all trained and can control it far better than most can their convention magic. As you heard only the wanton use of it is cause for destruction. '' Tom stated.

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

Still smiling Tom looked at him then the relief of the council, `` Under several clause of the council book I can call 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 actions are and will be. If councilman detestation continues to push this issuance I will give birth the council disbanded in disgrace, his title removed and his council memory removed. ''

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

The color had drained from his face as the rest of the council flash expression of death at him, `` I ... I did n't do it ! '' He shouted.

Looking at him Tom growled, `` It is over Alaze, she did n't want you then and most certainly does n't desire you now. You should enquiry for to a greater extent before you make a relocation like this, you 've lost again accept it and run on. ''

Turning his back Tom started to forget. There was a sudden hoo-hah behind him then a clapperclaw monition, Tom felt rather than saw the huge fireball 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 his drumhead slowly. Tom slowly pushed the fireball back at Odium ; terror on his face grew as it engulfed his shields.

'' Councilman Odium, 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 respective of Odium 's office, the council all gasped as they saw what Tom was doing.

'' You are sentenced to a yr without tycoon, after that, come after my family unit and I will get the right to toss off you, '' drawing closer to him Tom quietly snarled, `` It will be most unpleasant and might involve a recollective metre to accomplish. ''

Letting the man drop cloth in a slew Tom bowed to the council and advised, `` I believe you need another council member, oh. '' Tom started when he turned his binding to the council, `` Clondus, if you were allied with this self-justification for a mage I advise you to think 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 flooring.

Ben had been in hiding the full metre a huge good sense of superbia on his face, Tom had not only hold on his cool but had done everything by their own normal to brook no dissent later. Though he had to admit as another smile lit up his face the removing of the idiots powers had been a fillip. ‘ 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 bar almost all now, so pretty finis.

Tom appeared in the practice one thousand and erected several prey, then started to blast the the pits out of them. Sighing Tom knew this was n't going to be enough. Opening the index slightly, Tom flashed out to the like outside islands that Johnathon had destroyed ; bringing the islands back Tom started the whole cut-rate sale destruction of all of them again. A few bit later he heard a voice behind him, `` Hell and you said I was reckless ! ''

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

Tom 's oral fissure dropped open ; that was the most ripe skill of command Johnathon had shown and without Lana there !

'' Yeah I finally figured what you had been doing to build 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 vivid look on his father 's face.

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

'' Almost half way now, 'bout 5 or 6 hr now. I heard what you did in the chambers ; here I thought you were an unfeeling prick all these year. That you were training me out of duty, I want to jazz about grandfather. I 've heard that his control 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 power is slightly amplified, though at the end I have to include 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 forefather was telling him, the fact that his father had defended him in the exposed council chambers had spoken book to Johnathon.

An hour later, Tom had Johnathon performing a number of harder and harder tasks. When each went undecomposed than he thought they should, the pridefulness on Tom 's face started to show. `` I 'd say you have no less that 90 % control now, one last psychometric test for today. I want you to open the shield as far as you can. '' Nodding Tom watched as Johnathon began to open the wizardly power shield over his power, nodding Tom saw that he 'd already mastered the smooth out possibility of it. At half Tom smiled very good, at 3/4 Tom was even prouder. Finally almost all the way undefended Tom saw that Johnathon was starting to struggle to celebrate it unfastened, so this was the first time he 'd got it open that far, excellent !

'' Alright Johnathon back it off and the roadblock will close up '' Nodding Johnathon did as his Fatherhood said and the power slowly at first-class honours degree then faster began to correct.
'' Very near you are almost completely ready now, another day or two and I think you 'll be ready. '' Tom told his son. Johnathon looked shocked he thought it would pick out at least two months of training not five and a half weeks. Looking over at his father to make sure he 'd find out right he saw his sire shake off his head yes.

That night, in the iniquity many powerful mages moved through the afforest towards the keep. The older looking loss leader of the men wore a grim and vicious look that reached all the way to his oculus. Smiling a implike smile he started to besiege the bread and butter with a power lock down spell no one had never broken, but just in case he had more than enough powerful mages out here to kill the keep loss leader and his son. Smiling he thought of the keep leader's wife and daughter, ummm they would be unfermented beneath him when he took them by violence laughing he had so many toys he was going to thrust them full of. After all the things theses do-gooder had done they were going to suffer and suffer greatly.

The next morning Tom felt the conjuration ring erected around the keep, smiling this magical spell felt familiar. Reaching out Tom touched it and opened a maw as easily as ripping a piece of paper. Laughing 'til he felt the extremely brawny military force outside the ring. Hmmmm it was a good thing Johnathon had as much control as he did this would make affair a little easier when they went to conflict.

calling Johnathon Tom advised him what was going on then he sent substance to Ben. The council was advised that there would be a massive amount of last out by the donjon so they might want to set. 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, Father told me not too long before he died. I know your dominance is far keen than his was I ca n't even feel yours. ''

Sighing Ben decided he 'd been hiding long enough and this was his family, or what was left of it. Tom also contacted Lord Vidon to let him sleep with, he could get wind Vidon growl when he heard that his ally and neighbor was under attack. Tom asked him to continue out of it, these mages were of a mellow caliber than nearly that Vidon had been against, Vidon laughed and told Tom not to care 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 line 's land leave now while you still can stay and I can not insure any will leave alert.

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 kick goad you ! You 'll exhaust your baron and be an easygoing butt ! '' The leader yelled from the extreme backrest of all of the men. ‘ So,'Tom thought, ‘ that 's where you are, need to remember that for later on.'

Tom waved a manus at five of the ten and they were instantly engulfed in flames, dropping they were numb within a bare minute. Smiling, Tom thought ‘ fountainhead that 's five, it might even make a difference later,'`` Please, I do n't get it on who you are but you have no chance even with this many ! '' Tom yelled trying to convince himself Thomas More than them even with Johnathon it was going to be a struggle. With a wolf yell many Sir Thomas More opened up on Tom. Smiling Tom opened his 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 last forever ! '' Tom fired killing another six then three more than, even more started to fire at him, ‘ tinker's damn it,'Tom thought, ‘ I ca n't kill them fast enough !'Suddenly there was a vast blast and twenty of those in forepart of him disappeared.

'' I 've got your back father ! '' Tom heard Johnathon outcry as he took another twenty out reducing the blast hitting Tom to less than one-half.

Tom and Johnathon started to use covering killing as many as they could each time. When the pack finally collapsed Tom smiled and erected his own barrier, this shocked those on the gage side, and now the full power was in front of them. An time of day later Tom and Johnathon had both been hit several sentence and were bleeding from several places. They were holding their own when an errant blast hit Tom knocking him out, there were respective terrible jape.

They were 'til they felt Johnathon 's ira grow as did his power, taking out quite a few, Johnathon managed to get Tom under cover. Another shot hit Johnathon in the arm effectively numbing it, still firing Johnathon was n't sure if he could go for out much longer when there was shouting at the dorsum of the opposition's lines.

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

Out in the lines many screeching started to sound as several of the mages disappeared, back to back the mages finally started to get a handgrip on affair but their forces were now at half what they had been.

Lord Vidon looked at the massacre before him ; his men had grabbed half of the men and ripped their throats out. Damn it they were starting to defend now, and then he felt an extremely powerful power land next to Johnathon. good he was there finally, for the following hour matter grew somewhat quiet, there were still a neat many mages out there, and many of them had substantive power. Ben appeared side by side to Johnathon Irish bull ! Johnathon was bleeding from his face arms legs chest ; though Ben smiled, Johnathon had killed quite a few. Leaning down Ben whispered to Johnathon, `` You stay here I 'll testify you why your grandfather was feared. ''

With that Johnathon felt Ben afford his force all the way then he felt the shield basket rummy 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 tree diagram. God Almighty Vidon felt him and withdrew all his men. Ben 's face was a mask of hatred and rage ; his eyes were like ardour his hands were glowing as the superpower started to concentrate there in them. In a stentorian voice Ben looked at all the men, `` I 'll collapse all of you a chance to walk away, you have this one chance, and then you are suddenly, 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 imbecile ! The ease that remained laugh and pointed at Ben opening fervour at once, shrugging it off Ben 's peevishness started to mature as did his power. All the men on the ground laughed and fired even harder, when zip happened they started to get occupy. Ben started to smile and pointed at each man as each started to hollo, and then die. The leader flashed out, bedamn it he thought the plan had been double-dyed ! Five minutes later Ben settled adjacent to Johnathon the smell of roasting material body was everywhere, gently Ben lifted a now semi conscious Johnathon and flashed to the donjon.

Evelyn screamed in passion when she saw Johnathon covered in blood though a good bit of it was his fathers. Lana growled looking at the many cuts and George Burns on his 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 good son, and your father trained you extremely well but he did n't acknowledge everything, but we can discuss that later. '' Ben flashed out to a bread and butter a few knot from theirs and began to count around hmmm naught, appearing in several more that he suspected Ben was a lilliputian disappointed. Sighing, Ben thought, ‘ Well one more than I 'll have to rethink who might consume been behind this.'Searching around he finally felt the power signature he 'd been looking for then, huh it was gone ? What the underworld was going on ? Feeling the trail he started to be it as it led back toward his family 's dungeon ! Appearing in the session room Ben saw that he 'd been right about the energy but had to be sure as shooting.

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

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

'' Hello whoreson, '' the old man said to Ben, `` 'bout time I got a opportunity to kill a few of the whores in this family ! '' The old man laughed, licking the side of Evelyn 's face, `` 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 beef ! '' Johnathon growled as the man fell on the floor blood pumping out as his death rattle started. Johnathon smiled at his mother and a take aback Ben ; then the globe went pitch-dark, tinker's dam he thought, ‘ this sucks !'

Two days later Johnathon awoke with a jerk, where the pit 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 room began to spin Johnathon groaned again this time Lana awoke.

'' Ah my dear you 're finally wake up ! '' Shouting the others came in, Tyrome at the back ; shaking his fountainhead it seemed that a lot of affair that had happened were still fuzzy. A moment later his father limped in, `` I 'm proud of you son you took a thrashing 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 friend I heard you were hurt, besides Ben asked me to help. '' Tyrome said.

'' One day I will riposte you for the assistance Tyrome. '' Johnathon said.

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


THE END
