I jerked awake as the phone of the village were starting to die down. Again a picayune disorientate I looked around for a moment wondering where in the world I was. Then everything came rushing back as I was suddenly feeling depressed. Even all the skill I had learned watching the man had n't been enough. Malak 's founder had been very close to killing me.

Sitting there a few more bit I started to get out of bed when the room started to slightly spin. Catching the wall I slowly sank to the ground with a moan. A moment later Atohi 's top dog popped in the opening of the tipi.

'' I thought it would be far longer before you would be up. '' Atohi said as he came and sat beside me. `` I was going to wait 'til you were awake, feeling better. Malak 's father cut you pretty bad. ''

I nodded as it appeared that Atohi was a little nervous about something. `` What 's going on ? '' I asked him as I watched him fidget a bit.

'' You did n't find out this from me. Please, if anyone finds out I could get a beating from Padre. '' Atohi asked still looking around to puddle sure no one heard him. When I nodded yes to him he breathed a sigh of relief. `` The chief, many of the elderberry bush warriors has banished Malak 's family unit from the kin group. ''

I looked at Atohi in shock as I took in what he said. `` When ? '' I asked with a look of no business on my face.

'' They were going to wait to spill to you and your gramps. The simple fact was that not only his founder but Malak himself attacked you. The chief and the elder thought it better for them to be gone before they might attack others. '' Atohi related to me.

I stood and started to point out ; Atohi still wore a look of worry on his font. `` I have n't forgotten my admirer, '' I told him. This seemed to relieve him as I started for where I felt Pops was. < soda water ? They are going to push them out ? often like I was ? > I asked Pops.

< No. > Came Pops quick reply. < This is being done for the trade good of the tribe. The man is spry tempered they are afraid he might aggress other young men or even children. >

< So I am not to be consulted at all ? I thought I had grown much in the last month. > I asked.

I heard papa take a mental suspiration. < You have started to farm it is on-key. You are still young Toman there are still matter you need to memorize. true up you are finally developing skill of an adult. The thing is you are JUST starting to. >

< So I am the one that he tries to kill. I am the one he injures, I am the one who had to fight and defeat him. Here you are saying I have no say in what is to be done ! > I could feel the anger starting to tumesce inside of me. I could feel the book binding that Pops had put on me start to stretch then bend, then it felt as if it was being shredded.

< TOMAN ! > I heard soda thoughts loudly in my head. < equanimity or they will find you ! You have barely been able to observe the dissimilar signature tune. You lose it now before you are gear up they could easily overwhelm you ! >

Shocked I felt my angriness evaporate. I could still palpate the binding though a short of my big businessman was leaking out. Suddenly I was standing in the bubble with Pops. `` I told you to learn what you did ! '' pop music said as he hit me with his magic hand, thing was I hardly felt it ! Sighing Pops nodded then waved a hand over me, `` sleep Toman nap ''

The next thing I knew I was waking up and it was a day later. I could now feel the binding back in space slightly stiff. Shaking my pass I got up and headed out. I walked about the small town again trying to determine what to do 'til time for another lesson. Not really heading anywhere I was suddenly stopped the same warriors from the day before.

'' Ah ! Young Toman ! So it appears that you are up again, this is good. It also appears that you are again trying to see your bride to be again. '' The warrior said with a sly smile. I looked around suddenly realizing that I was only a few feet from Tall Bear 's Tepee ! Oh shit ! I thought as I started to back away. The warrior 's eyes gleamed with mischievousness as two others pushed me forward to a small opening in the Tepee.

'' You are nearly a man young Toman, it is within your right to peak ! '' One of the warriors pushing me said.

'' Look as I said I do n't want a jhatakedaar chhadee used on me. '' I replied.

This time they all looked at me strangely. `` You used that name before still we do n't know it '' The first warrior said.

I thought about it a import then felt something in my head shift. `` Ah ! It 's a adatlosgá ganáhida talugisgi ! ''

All of the warriors eyes went wide then they all started to smile. `` As a soon to be husband they would n't take that much anger out on you. Especially finally taming that wilderness cat of a daughter of the chief ! '' Pushing my nerve to the opening I got a survey of the interior of the gaffer 's tepee. Then I drew in a deep breath as Naci walked into my pedigree of imaginativeness ! By all my trick it had only been a few calendar week but she appeared to be different. By all that was holy ! She was ten times lovelier ! I shook my head lovely ? Was I losing my mind ?

Backing away unable to speak I kept backing up 'til I hit a paries ! At least I thought it was a wall as I stumbled falling to the ground at the feet of Tall Bear ! Scuttling back from him I quickly gained my foot. A minor smile was on his lips as he stared at me then with a wink he spoke. `` I realize you know not of our customs young Toman but this is still nix. '' I nodded as he was quiet a second as he was in thought. `` As I have been here nigh of the time I do not see as any harm was done, though young Toman speak with me first ! ''

My middle flew wide as I suddenly realized that he was n't going to have me flap ! Ok now I was confused, I never had luck this goodness it always ended in disaster. `` So no adatlosgá ganáhida talugisgi to be used on me ? '' I asked a short afraid that I might swage what little luck I had.

Tall Bear 's oculus widened a moment then he just shook his head. `` No Whitney Young Toman, though if this happens again, and I am not award. Then I may not be able to stop that. ''

I nodded to Tall Bear as I heard a sound behind me. Turning I was shocked to see Naci standing there staring at me and her forefather. `` So father making plans behind my back are you ? ''

For the first time since me and pop music had arrived I saw actual fear in Tall Bear 's eyes ! I did n't understand, and was just about to ask when I was stopped inadequate as Naci turned toward me looking me dead in the eyes ! `` I was not making plans for you I was ... ''

'' Please Father-God, '' Naci said effectively quieting Tall Bear. `` Toman has saved me from becoming a mahila ka upayog, bekaar I think ..."

'' Naci, '' I said stopping her she returning her gaze toward me. `` Please say that again I am having trouble with those terminus. ''

Naci nodded then started to unfold her mouth but stopped when I held up my hand. Concentrating, I felt something of a block in what pops had touched me with that day. Shaking my straits I then nodded to Naci as I felt the block slip.

'' I was saying to father that you saved me from becoming a agehyáa gátanáhi usoná winigatsihihá iga ! I think he should feature made more time for us to see each early. Fleeting glance at uncommon fourth dimension wo n't do. '' Naci stated.

I was nodding as suddenly my eyes went wide. I held up my manus to Naci again as I felt rather than discover Pops gasp out. Looking at Tall Bear I asked, `` where did you see my grandfather last ? I can feel he is in trouble ! '' Tall Bear pointed toward the babble surface area. `` Please keep everyone here ; I am afraid that our enemies may cause found us. Plus I am afraid it might be my fault ! ''

Naci was staring at me with a worried look as I took off as fast as I could. I did n't see a thing 'til I was finally inside the bubble. An older version of Atohi was leaning over Pops, daddy did n't look that well. Then again Atohi was n't in that expectant of soma either. I looked at Pops hard then nodded when I opened that ability up it had increased his offenses a bit.

The older looking Atohi was trying to force pops to tattle but at the consequence soda pop was holding him off, though I was afraid he would n't last very much thirster.

'' Where is that slight mongrel demon ejaculate you pathetic old mug ! '' The old version of Atohi was snarling at Pops. I tried so hard I tried not to lose it but this ass was seriously pissing me off. I felt the exponent in me build then double, then triple. That 's when I felt the new binding pops put in me start to shred like paper.

Shaking with the extreme power I felt coursing through me I shouted at mage. `` Hey asshole ! I take it you are looking for me ? ''

I heard the mage jest telling dada he 'd be justly back to end his traitorous life. This of course made me even angrier as the net of the binding shredded to nothing ! Turning the mage fired a flaming glob at me then watched horrified as it hit me then fizzled in mere minute.

'' That 's impossible ! There has n't been decent time for you to teach him that much control ! You are suddenly old man ! '' The mage said as he turned to Pops. Outraged I reached in as I started to rip everything of wizardly the mage had. Smiling at the screams of pain that escaped his lip. I kept at it 'til there was only an empty hole. The aspect of electric shock on his face was that of abject revulsion. `` NO ! What have you done ? '' Waving his hand he started to scream.

I walked up to him as he was screaming, punching him in the gut. With a fill smile I watched him slide down to the basis. The only sound that of his labored ventilation and vomiting. `` I should kill you for what you have done to Pops. I think I have a much full idea though. ``

Waving a hired man over him I took everything about a programme the council had to destroy our family. `` No ! You are an odium ! You have to be destroyed ! '' I just grunted as I went further into the now ex-mage 's mind. So the council did n't recognize where he was. That was good then there was the fact that this was also a nonaged council penis.

I started to raise my hired hand with it glowing as I prepared to return a decease blow to the ex-mage. I felt a paw on my shoulder, `` Do n't turn the monster that they think you are son. ''

I nodded as I started to power down. `` Aw ! What a good slight lap dog ! '' The ex-mage said with a sneer.

I only smiled at the ass as I reached in sealing the gob with the like energy I had used to sever them. Then I got down and into the man 's aspect. `` Unless you know of mortal else who can open power, you are now human. I made blame certain of that, you are now a useless piece of vulgarism as I heard all of the council call human being. I should wipe your mind and send you to the council, let them show you their unequaled blade of mercy. ''

This of course of study had the man laughing at me. `` They would n't kill me they need me they ... ''

'' You really are as stupid as I thought you were. It wo n't matter after I show the stallion magic world all you have seen and heard. '' I told the man.

Laughing again the man stated, `` I am a nipper council member easily replaced. No one will believe what you broadcast. ''

'' Wan na bet ? '' I sneered in his human face. `` There are to a greater extent than a few mages in your mind that they have done this to. I am sure enough their family would be more than happy to enquire. Also as I remember many of them are as secure if not more so than most of the council. Just how long do you reckon the council would live if ALL of them banded together against them ? ''

The ex-mage started to jape at me, `` They would n't dare ! Without the council we would be little more than brute. Much like these pitiable humans you are hiding among ! ''

I pulled my clenched fist back smashing into the man 's typeface effectively breaking his jaw. Even as the man howled in pain I smiled, I was tired of listening to his load of crap anyway.

Pulling him up I snarled into his face, `` These pitiful humans as you call them have a hundred multiplication more honor than you ever will ! '' Waving a deal over the man I felt his psyche fight a mo then quiet as everything started to go space. I felt pappa tense up when he felt the man 's mind shrink to zippo. Looking at popping I saw that he was severely weakened, though what I had done to him earlier in the month had probably saved his aliveness.

What was left of the man was sitting on the terra firma a skinny slobbering, idiot in an adult body. I stood there in muteness as I started to pull up everything, every nasty short thing this council had done in the last two hundred years. With a sigh I looked at pappa. `` I need to diffuse this Pops. I do n't need them to get laid that we are here. I do n't want these people to get hurt. ''

soda pop nodded with a huge smile on his typeface. `` I was hoping that bringing you here would coerce you to grow up. ''

'' Here pops, '' I said as I raised a hand to his chest of drawers and arm. Almost immediately I felt them start, and then terminate healing. dad got a huge appall feeling on his face as he took a thick breath then started to cough up blood ! Waving my hand again I felt the three broken costa, plus the other five cracked rib. Then I felt the bruises all over him. Within two moment soda water was as secure as new.

Again Pops'eyes went across-the-board then I reached in, starting to purposely strengthen his demurrer. I had raised then at least two levels when Pops asked me to stop. `` Do n't block for higher Defense Department I also need higher Energy. '' Nodding I opened up and increased his vigour a few here and now Pops was panting holding up his hand. `` plenty Toman ! I am old ; I do n't give birth even half as much as you younger mages ! ''

'' Sorry dada, '' I told him. `` You are the last of any kinfolk that I have. I intend to keep you alive at all cost ! '' Then I smiled at him as I finally realized what he 'd been doing all this sentence. `` Thanks pop music, had you not been as you are I doubt I would be alive now. I -- - '' I suddenly realized something else. `` Wait you called me a mage ? '' I stated incredulously.

soda pop smirked a moment then just as quickly it was gone. `` You know I do n't lie, you took out someone who up 'til today you had no Hope of going against. Let alone defeating like you did. No son, you do n't take me any longer. '' tonic said as he sadly shook his principal.

I was suddenly in Pops face angry as I said, `` Like an older, wiser, and very surly mage once said to me. I am never to get word that shit out of your mouth again do you hear me ? ! You disrespect our integral menage doing it ! You are training me ; therefore you are more than than needed. '' Here I pointed a finger at Pops as I continued,"I did n't increase you just to induce you chip in the hell up ! ''

soda pop was standing there with his rima oris give, `` nether region son I should have brought you here sooner ! Your father was a lot like you though I did n't get to train him much. Now I wish I had brought him here all those C ago. He might still be alive, plus the fellowship might still be whole. '' With that pappa sat as the binge started to fall from his heart. `` Your father was a good mage. You mother, my girl loved him fiercely. Please forgive me Tollan, forgive me my sweet little Drenna. ''

I was shocked as I watched Pops break down in teardrop. Why was he talking to the air as if they were both still here ? `` pa ? '' I asked a few moments later when I moved closer. `` Pops ! ? '' I said louder gaining his tending. `` Who are you talking to ? ''

Shaking his psyche he whispered, `` If I tell you, you might re-think your decision for me to keep breeding you. '' Then pop seemed to be listening to something else. Nodding his head he looked me directly in the eyes. `` I was told that I should tell you. What has accrued has indeed forced you to produce far to a greater extent than I thought. Well that 's what I am being told. ''

I was really staring at Pops now, had all of this snapped his hold on realness ? Then I did a double take as I saw what I thought was a shadow move past and around Pops then it was gone. What in the snake pit was going on ? `` Told by who tonic ? Start making a little to a greater extent sense. What are you supposed to -- '' I suddenly stopped as I again saw a shadow, then another that almost looked like a cloud as they drifted past dada.

Pops nous snapped up then he looked at the cloud shadow. Nodding his head he finally turned toward me with a smile. `` So, '' He said with a sly grinning. `` It appears that I may not have to tell you after all. enjoin me Toman ? Just what are you seeing ? ''

I started to open my mouth to spill the beans then snapped it shut. `` I do n't live what you are doing pappa but I 'm not going to descend for it ! Everyone knows that what I am seeing does n't subsist ! It 's a trick I know it ! `` Narrowing my eyes I watched as one of the trace floated toward me. Waving my hired man in battlefront of me the shadow advanced then stopped unable to advance.

Pops mouth dropped open as he tilted his header toward the shadower. `` No ! '' I heard him whisper. `` No he 'll never believe me ! '' Pops seemed to be in an parameter for a few moment then turned more toward me."I was told -- - '' He started.

'' So it appears that there is far more going on with you two than I at first mentation. '' A familiar voice stated behind me. I turned around erecting a potent buckler as the voice started to chuckle. `` Here I thought you both were just a simple mages. glad I was faulty ! ''

Finally turned around my oral cavity dropped open as I am sure pop music did. There standing in full mage regalia was Tall Bear !

pa shook his straits then started to smile, `` I should have known that you were a mage. You were far more accepting of us into the tribe to not consume been. discharge Toman it 's ok. ''

I looked at the mage then soda water shaking my head no. `` I do n't think so Pops Tall Bear I know, this mage I do n't. ''

Tall Bear or whoever he was smiled, `` No need to stimulate him let go of sir. '' Then he walked toward us as I felt a pinprick of reverence then felt my power flare more. The mage waved his hand with a smile and ran into a wall ! The smiling disappeared a here and now then was back as he waved his hired hand again with more effort. Stepping forward he was again stopped an astonished look on his face.

I looked back at daddy as he had a minuscule smile on his face. `` I suggest that you gain his confidence or you 're never going to get through. ''

With a suspire the mage nodded as he bowed first to Pops then me. `` I am no-account I was rude, I have to protect my family as well as the rest of the folk. My mage gens was Mordaf Wyllt. '' The mage stated.

Pops eyes were wide-eyed as he stared hard at the mage before him. `` Wyllt of the Welsh ? '' Then Pops centre narrowed. `` I remember that there was a Wyllt that was the betrayer of his household. '' Still staring at the mage, `` You 're one of the five Wyllt son ! '' Then papa closed his lip afraid that he 'd said far too often.

'' Yes, '' The mage said disjointed then he looked at dad hard, then real hard. `` Reginald ? '' Then the mage smirked, `` Regg, I should take known you survived. What are you doing with a wild magic user ? ''

'' He 's not just any barbarian magic user, he 's Drenna 's son, my grandson. '' Pops said with pride as the other mage 's sass dropped open as he started to stare at me again .
