There were only 36 of them left. Well 35 as one was the black council 's genius. The fact that they were freakishly strong compared to the rest that he had faced here was n't lost on him either. Alan watched as the finis of the ash or dust shove along away the remnants of the finally one of the five he had faced. Shaking his head he had to take once they went evil, it obviously sucked all the intelligence out of them, really just how pudding head could you get ? Thinking you could vote down a far superior force even with service ?

Thinking a moment more Alan was really at a expiration as to who was killing these mages ; it was n't the others, they might be bad, but they were fiercely loyal to each other and the council. There were only two white mages on the planet, and as far as he knew Merlin was still low level or was he ? There really was something odd about the man and Alan needed to get answers before this went any far.

Appearing back at the sanctuary Alan decided that NOW was the time to talk to pigeon hawk. Walking in Alan was a picayune storm when he saw that Merlin was not only come alive but waiting on him.

'' I knew when I started this that you were n't pudding head, I just thought it might study you a footling longer to visualize it out so that I had more time. '' Merlin told Alan with a heavy sigh.

'' More prison term ? more clock time for what ? '' Alan asked an even more perplexed look on his face.

'' More fourth dimension to get my mogul higher, I have felt so useless for so retentive my power at such a low level. As you know there are several stage of power. Those that are low just above apprentices, then the mid range, a luxuriously range, then of course there is what I have deemed an ultra cooking stove. For many years I have tried to raise my power to be of More use, but alas failing each time. That is 'til I met you. '' Merlin explained.

'' 'Til you met me ? What makes me so dissimilar from others ? '' Alan asked a look of assiduousness on his look.

'' There are fashion to get one powerfulness but as of yet I have not discovered any. You my beloved boy have a cancel ability to increase your powers each clock time you use them. As I said there are those four levels each is divided into three part of their own. When I first saw you, you were as high up in the luxuriously range as you could go. You have since moved passed that into the radical image and I 'd say that you are almost halfway through that now. '' Merlin went on.

'' Alright so what has all this have to do with your power ? '' Alan asked.

'' Yes, right, I have always had an ability to ape or copy another 's baron if it was within my level. When you first released me I felt your business leader growing ability, at low I tried to copy it. I found it took all I had in society to do that after a few try. The most amazing thing I have found was that when I started to use my power again they started to get ! After I executed the first wickedness mage I felt my index movement into the mid range for the first fourth dimension in my animation. So I kept practising very, very slowly I built them up. After the second the other day I discovered that I was forming new abilities ! I have never been able to thought motility, now I can for several international mile. '' Falco columbarius had lowered his head.

'' That explains why you slept so retentive it took a lot out of you I know that for a fact it always does. As the power increment so does the requirement on the body 'til the body grows used to it. '' Alan told the man.

'' I apologize for copying your powerfulness, I so desperately want to riposte home to my Queen gleam, I have missed her so over the centuries. I am uncoerced to do almost anything to name that go on, but to you a fellow clean mage I do apologize. '' Merlin told Alan his head still crouch low.

'' I have seen your pouf inkling ; I can read, believe me, I would be the same way about Hopix as I love her with all my heart. '' Alan said as Merlin smiled funny, a gleam in his eye that was n't lost on Alan.

Hopix had been in the corking common room and was just returning when she heard Alan 's confession about her to Merlin ! Her oral fissure dropped clear he loved her with all his affectionateness ! ? She thought he was only just beginning to make love her ! Her heart soaring she stopped and just listened to the discourse as they went on.

'' merlin, I made a promise to your Queen Glimmer that I would see you and return with you. It is a promise I intend to restrain, for now I hold all the card game I intend to keep it that way. '' Alan told a now scandalise Merlin. `` So secern me pigeon hawk, just how luxuriously are your ability now ? ''

'' As I said I had already moved into the mid chain, and have been slowly edifice. The terminal I looked I was almost as high as I could go in the mid range. The higher stage are taking a good deal longer as I find that I have n't given my body sufficient time to aline, yet I was hoping that I could get high enough to actually be of aid to you. '' Merlin explained sadly.

Alan had been nodding throughout Merlin 's explanation, `` We need to hold your levels a mystical, and that means by everyone Hopix. '' Alan said with a grinning, Hopix 's headland slowly eased around the threshold.

Her mouth hanging spread Hopix was slowly advancing into the room. `` But how ... ? '' She started.

'' As you heard my power have been increasing, lately I have tried to always love where you are. You mean far more to me than you at first thought. '' Here Alan smiled at Hopix giving her a warm tone deep in her chest that she loved.

Turning back to Merlin Alan smiled, `` I am for certain just the fact that you can thought-move will be more than than a piddling assist. I am afraid that after these last five died that they wo n't come after me in slew anymore. We are going to experience to go after them each separately. It might take a while they are the unattackable and probably the overbold. ''

Merlin was shocked that Alan was n't mad ; had it been him he might stimulate lost it feeling violated somewhat. Nodding his head, yes this man Alan was a rare find, looking over at Hopix he was definitely glad that he and she had finally gotten together. Then again Alan and she had n't had sex yet, holy shit ! Merlin smiled inside Alan was in for a real eye opener when that happened. Sex was one affair but with a Fairixie it brought a unharmed new meaning to the phrase someone mate !

The niggling smiles Alan saw Falco columbarius try to hide when he looked at him and Hopix was n't lost on him either. There was a definite connection between a human and Fairixie that he had yet to realize, soon he thought after this he and Hopix would be united. Alan felt that the type of Union they were going to have was the type that many dreamed of but few ever found. Shaking his brain Alan decided help or not he needed to finish up this and soon, Hopix 's physical structure was beginning to drive him crazy the tightlipped she was.

'' I want you to stay here and work on your abilities ; if and only IF you reach a higher level do I want you to even consider stepping out of this chancel. I mean it Merlin ; I did n't come in all this way just for you to get killed when I have almost cleared the satellite. '' Alan told Merlin sternly.

Sighing Merlin nodded he might have higher major power but as far as his body was have-to doe with he was still a weak mage trying to get by. `` Alright, I 'll try but this posing here is killing me, I came here all those old age ago to try and discharge this globe. Alan they have a secret that you might find helpful later on. I was just starting to gain their confidence when I was betrayed ! '' Merlin growled a look of trauma on his face.

Nodding Alan and Hopix walked out and headed toward the surface, they needed to clear this major planet soon. Alan could feel that the masses were almost broken even those he 'd discharge were still in a nervure of mind that this too would travel by and they would be slaves again. Sighing all Alan could see was an almost repeat of the Tribocs it had taken the intervention of one of tabby Glimmer 's people to afford up their eye enough for him to help them. He most definitely did n't want that to happen here.

Looking over at Hopix Alan nodded and they both made their way to the next or weakest of these left. Two sets of middle watched as they left, one a soon to be gravid ally, another a great enemy only interested in the demise of Alan and Hopix. They finally arrived at the place Alan guessed you would forebode it. Though to him it seemed as almost all of where the dark mages stayed were just dung quite a little.

release off a few bolts Alan awaited the eventual shriek he knew would come. There was a rushing of index toward them then an almost ghostlike phantom appeared in front of Alan, ‘ hmmmm this was different !'

'' You dare to come here and affront me and my home ? You are indeed as brash as the others said you were. No matter I have to a greater extent than sufficient office to end your meddling here and now ! '' With that the apparition tried to surround him and take all the air from the place between it and Alan. about definitely dissimilar ! Finally an enemy that was original and not the same old thing !

'' As a great deal as I am enjoying your troupe, I think it 's clock time you left this domain. I 'll offer you the Saame deal as I did the others. '' Alan told the ghost like mage.

'' It matters not ! Within moments you will be dead and then neither of us will birth to concern about it ! '' The apparition told Alan.

Sighing and shaking his head Alan waved his hand and blew a hole in the wall that was in battlefront of him. Screaming the specter animate being was trying to varnish the hollow when Alan told it, `` Now about the deal. Just give up and leave, there will be no retaliation stay and well I 'll have to kill you though I really do n't want to. ''

The apparition stopped and stared at Alan, `` You really do n't know who you are up against with the nighttime council do you ? ''

Alan was shocked this was the commencement clock time a bad guy had actually stopped and talked unlike so many.

'' To surrender, to give way up like you say may appear a simple affair to you but to all that now are in overhaul to them it is n't. Many actually sign their lives to the council ; to go against them says that they are free for the council to strike. They actually OWN most of those that serve them, most not all. Even those they do not own are bound in some way to them. No matter what you say you can do, the dark council has a way to get past it and carry all they are. So when they say they ca n't or wo n't they really intend it. '' The specter creature explained to him.

'' Thank you, I guess I was being a niggling uninstructed thinking I could turn them but it is a dream that I could at least save one. '' Alan told the creature a great sadness permeating his voice. Bowing to the creature Alan said, `` I thank you are the first truly honorable one of the dark mages I have met. ''

A disgustful grinning crossed its fount as several thunderbolt shot out of hiding behind Alan striking his carapace. Nodding Alan 's anger started to stand up. Three of those behind him were suddenly fireballs of death each screaming in terror as they died. The quaternary laughed wickedly as it bounced the spell back at Alan. Alan 's heart opened spacious, hmmm so they were finally starting to learn ! Alan extended a helping hand and absorbed the spell that was flying toward him.

The wicked smile on the face of the fourth quickly faded, as it repositioned itself for better trade protection. The first had tried to flash out and found that it was effectively freeze out to the place it had appeared in. Alan smiled and waggled a finger at it then turned toward the quartern.

'' You are the number 1 to actually use your head. It is almost a shame to destruct you. '' Alan told the almost human-ant hybrid type animal. Again a repelling grin crossed its expression as respective almost appendage like, thickheaded roots broke the ground below Alan latching onto his arms and peg.

Laughing wickedly the fourth advanced upon Alan, with a smile of his own Alan just nodded and broke the roots, then shot the one-fourth with several electric deadbolt. Screaming the dark mage had managed to erect a light shield but it, like he, was dying rather quickly. Alan felt the starting time try to break resign but Alan again waggled a finger at it without turning. Finally Alan pushed harder toward the twenty-five percent ; finally the electrical bolts began to clobber at the skin of it. Then there was the distinct smell of roasting human body as the fourth part was enveloped in the flame that were starting to break open from where the bolts were actually touching the skin.

Growling Alan turned toward the first, `` ALL OF YOU ! EVERY ONE OF YOU ! '' Alan was yelling then calmed a present moment, `` I can finally find the Libra shifting on this world. Almost 3/4 of the index that has held this world prisoner is gone. Once I have rid it of you I think the light council may be able-bodied to give back here. I was going to give you a choice of how you died, but too bad ! '' A deadbolt shooting from Alan 's hands striking the low gear slow part of it froze then even dull crept up its body. `` You should be dead soon but I hope you enjoy this creeping immobilize expiry good bye ! ''

Alan gathered Hopix and with a last facial expression at the ghost specter as a part of it broke off eliciting a howler, flashed out not far away. Concentrating Alan had to be gear up he could already experience the tens of grand that were heading his way. well he thought that was 70 of them but I am afraid that the live on 30 would be the bad, and then there was the sensation.

Shaking his head word Alan had already started to raise a turgid city this was going to be the cock-a-hoop yet, he could experience upwards of 100,000 coming his way but then again just how many would actually need to be helped ? An minute later the city had been finished and the first of those that would occupy it were starting to get. Having learned the end time Alan waited 'til there was a great number then shot out the Saame waving as before. Smiling he saw that all of these here truly wanted help.

Another two hours later, saw Alan starting to get frustrated, after the first 10 or 20 thousand it had started to split 50/50. Sighing now nine out of every ten did n't want the help The last bunch were approaching Alan was starting to raise tired he 'd saved quite a few but there were so many left he had to educate a substantially way of doing this. At three hours he was finally finished of the 105,000 that had appeared only 75,000 had accepted his help less than 3/4 but still the heavy amount of money free on the major planet in one place.

Alan and Hopix returned to the bema, Alan took a step toward the door and started to fall ; thankfully Merlin was there and had managed to catch him before he was eating dirt. interior Alan was laying on his pallet Hopix beside him unwilling to leave his side.

'' I have felt the proportionality start to shift here, '' merlin told him. `` I believe that the Lobrits are feeling it also. You have done an extraordinary job Alan. I know you are run down, I know you want to go menage with Hopix ; we all have sureness in you. Always remember that there are far more for you than against you. Of the outset three property you opened for the Lobrits I feel that those people are finally back to what they were, and the second they are almost there. The third you just finished they are already trying to set up government I feel the whole mental attitude of the people here is starting to change. Finally the dream I had all those centuries ago is coming to fruition. Thank you Alan thank you so practically ! ''

Alan nodded, he was too tired after today to argue or ask questions, reaching over he gently caressed Hopix 's font god he loved her ! He had to finish this he had to, he 'd waited all his life for a charwoman like Hopix and he was n't about to misplace her now ! As the fatigue finally took him Alan kissed her script, and then was asleep.

Merlin walked up to Alan extending his mitt then nodded, Alan would be out completely for at least two hours more than enough to tattle to Hopix.

'' So when are you going to state him ? '' Merlin asked a startled Hopix.

'' Tell him ? Whatever do you mean ? '' Hopix said pretending ignorance.

'' Have you forgotten just who I am ? '' pigeon hawk asked, `` especially now with the increases that I have made ? ''

'' No I have n't forgotten but right now it would be more than a distraction to him, he has felt so strong about this he has felt it is only a small affair to requite gleam and our satellite. He has as strong a horse sense of duty as you do, '' Hopix told merlin.

'' I realize this, but child you have to tell him soon, especially with the two of you being joined soon. Do n't you think he deserves to cognise ? I know I would though in my case I would go exceedingly angry, but I do n't call back this is the case for Alan. '' Merlin told her staring at Hopix trying to gauge her reaction. Then he was shaking his head tinker's damn but these Fairixies were a voiceless race to read ! It had taken well over 100 years to tell apart when his Glimmer had been joking or grievous, rubbing his side of meat he smiled that had been rough enough !

'' You and he are so much the Saami and dissimilar, Queen Glimmer almost refused to allow him to come. He somehow convinced her but I think she was thinking more of me than herself. '' Hopix told him.

Sighing Falco columbarius nodded he knew his Glimmer all too well as she did him, were there really no luck she would have tried with all she had to stop Alan. Looking at Alan with a new respect she had obviously seen something in the man that he had n't, then again he 'd seen some that he knew that intimation never would take in.

'' Alan is the first of all in a very long time that I found could actually do this job. The fact that he loves me as I do him is of course an supply incentive. '' Hopix added matter-of-factly.

'' NO ! It is far more than that and you know it damn it ! '' pigeon hawk suddenly shouted then reigned in his emotions. `` You have to tell him BEFORE your joining if you wait I MAY have to enjoin him ! '' merlin threatened.

'' No please ! '' Hopix begged tears falling from her eyes. `` I will recite him, but I am afraid that I will turn a loss him when I do. '' Hopix said fresh tears falling anew from her eyes. `` I can not lose him. '' Hopix was whispering.

'' My dearest, '' Merlin told her his face and vocalism softening, `` if you do n't say him soon you WILL miss him ok ? '' Hopix nodded she really hoped that Merlin was right she was so deeply in passion with Alan she felt that if he rejected her she would quite literally die.

pigeon hawk watched Hopix as she laid her head on Alan 's chest he could experience the bond now, that meant he was finally into the higher range, Fat lot of dependable it did him now ! Sighing he had n't meant to upset Hopix but the truth needed to be known, especially with as strong a bond as they had. The same that he and glimmering had thank the stars he could still feel her and had all the prison term he was in the saving chamber .
