Alan awoke hours later rubbing his typeface he looked around the room, `` Hopix ? '' he said on the away chance she was back. Dejected he hung his head, he was glad she was back with her family but all of this seem senseless without her, huh ? Had he just thought that ? I should slap myself Alan thought, where in the hell were those musical theme coming from ? How could he let any flavour for Hopix ? They were 2 dissimilar species from 2 different worldly concern, shaking his chief yes there was no way.

Walking to the buffet car this prison term Alan kept his eyes open it would n't do to get get unawares again for the third time. Sitting at his usual John Wilkes Booth, Alan nodded to a police military officer that came in and sat with his partner. `` Did they get a preliminary report back on that homeless guy from yesterday we found ? '' the first one said. `` Oh yeah, this was a eldritch one, '' the secondly one said pulling a sail of paper from his undershirt. `` According to the M.E. 's report the corpse had been suddenly for a day or two. tone like we might be dealing with some pranksters on this one. matter is though ca n't look to find any unfastened Graves here in the city. ''

'' Oh great, '' the first one replied, `` dead body snatching tomb robbers from out of town, Saviour the media's gon na have a theatre of operations day with this ! ''

Alan ate his repast a little shocked the man yesterday had seemed a niggling unknown, maledict it the non-white council was desecrating grave now, these bastards hold nothing sacred ! Alan was heading out the door when he saw another foreign looking man heading his way, quickly exiting Alan made his way to an abandoned alley. `` Why are you following me ? I thought I told all of you I was n't interested especially after yesterday ! go forth me ALONE ! '' The man stopped light as if he 'd run into a brick wall. `` You wo n't escape us forever ! Sooner or later you 'll make a mistake and we 'll be there to feast upon your soul, '' The man laughed. `` Maybe one day but not now besides, you lost one of the biggest magic user worlds yesterday. I expect to exact many Thomas More before I am done ! '' Alan said, the force of his representative knocking the man back further.

'' You can try mage Alan, oh you can try ! '' With that the unusual man vanished.


walking back to his way Alan sat in his chairperson, almost at a lost as to what to do. Suddenly there was a rush of lead then there was a shimmering of air behind him.

'' You must really cause the dark council worried if they are making personal visual aspect, '' the drawing card of the unhorse council said. `` We have another designation for you. ''

'' What no watchdog ? '' Alan threw out.

'' We should experience somebody here when you return, '' The drawing card said. `` This should be a elementary one. ''

'' Yeah right, '' Alan said, `` You said that the commencement time and I had help then, what makes this so different. ''

'' This is a dewy-eyed pop in, snaffle the surety, pop out, '' the leader said smiling.

'' Uh huh, what is it you're not telling me ? '' Alan asked.

'' Uh well, '' the leader hesitated, `` The surety is also the ruler and might be big than the last you dealt with although the one holding them is even spoilt. ''

`` You know you guys are just fucking wonderful ! You expect me to do this with no cognition or serve ? What ! ? Have all of you completely lost your damn minds ? I 've been making this shit up as I went along, you have been sitting back the whole tinker's damn clip safe and heavy, remember these were your misunderstanding not mine. I should be treated a just sight better than I am ! '' Alan was screaming now his unit physical structure was glowing a smart red, the loss leader had actually moved back and erected a buckler.

'' Alright, Alan ! '' The leader shouted momentarily calming Alan. `` We apologize for leaving you out, you have more than proven yourself in the past. After today all information shall be shared. ''

With a suspire Alan tried to calm down, `` Alright I 'll take a look, but after this I wo n't do a thing 'til I have all the data not just some of it ! ''

Alan lay down and was immediately asleep, within mo his dream self was standing, he guessed he was standing in a cloud. Looking around nothing even closely resembled anything that was familiar to him, screw this, make everything look like something I can care. Just as suddenly everything took on a more unanimous appearance, 'bout time Alan thought. Moving forward he saw a few building ahead, hmmm there were also what appeared to be quite a few guards there also.

Walking up to them, Alan saw that they were suddenly on alerting, < hold strange one, this is the new ruler's residency, we will not allow anyone past. >

Waving his hired hand all of the safety were suddenly asleep, Alan kept walking 'til he was in the door way. Looking in side he saw a strange looking lizard shaped creature, lashing another tied up lizard character creature with its tongue. From what Alan could feel the restricted one was in a lot of pain, sighing he cleared his throat.

< Who are you ? Ah ! I see the council has sent their recent lap dog to correct their mistakes as they put it. Too bad you 're going to die right here ! > Turning the standing lizard shot flame ( Geez ! go name huh ) at Alan throwing up his branch the flames just stopped curtly of him. < NO ! you 're not even here ! You 're the son of a kick that killed my brother and his youngster ! Take forethought lap dog, I will kill you and soon. You want this fiddling poof ass, here, > with that the tied lounge lizard was flying at Alan, < Be warned I will not repose 'till you are dead and my brother and brethren are avenged ! > With that the other was gone in a flash, Alan sighed and tried to extend to to the other still tied up when they both were drawn to ... somewhere. Alan looked around though there was n't much to see. Alan thought he could see a few of the council members in the distance. `` Alright I 'm here ! '' Alan shouted, `` I 've brought the one you requested. '' Alan was n't one to be kept waiting, the longer he had to wait the angrier he got, damn it they sent him out and were making him wait ! ? ok this shucks needed to break right here right now !

Several mass began to draw close the 2 men, `` Alan we did n't expect you to prevail him this quickly, '' the leader explained, `` I apologize for you having to look. '' `` Yeah well, at least you could have warned me that the one, who was holding him, was the blood brother of the first off one I went against. You know a little pre-knowledge beforehand could possess prepared me meliorate before I went in there. This wo n't come about again or you 'll be looking for another enforcer, I hope we understand better now ? '' Alan said almost ready to take the air out, now that he knew when he was being used and was n't about to let that pass off, not again.

'' What ! ? you actually saw him ? '' they asked, `` he is far more grievous than we at first opinion. For now the planet is safe and returning to normal, though unlike the first 2 they are n't protected, could you return and shore it up ? ''

Sighing I knew that I 'd been had, why was it that they always seemed to get it on when I desired to actually serve ?

'' Alright but no more going in subterfuge, if you really want me as your hatchet man or fixer, I 'd better bulge out getting more information. '' He said as he turned and started to leave.

'' Mage Alan, '' he heard from behind him, `` we need to generate you the selective information. ''

Sighing he stopped and turned right as the leader of the council sent a beam my way that hit his head, suddenly his intellect was filled with cruelty, screeching of pain sensation and anguish, the demise of quite a few then the smell of the people there was finally broken. He was feeling gloomy, how in the Scheol was he going to assist these people they 'd probably see him as another cruel ruler, he could still feel their distrustfulness of anyone not of their variety.

Alan arrived back on the planet, he could sense the despair it was coming from everywhere, damn it, this son of a bitch had really done a numeral on this place. Alan reached out to the nearest being, expecting underground he was going to explain what he was going to do. The matter is there was no resistance, Alan tried to explicate what he was going to do, but it would n't listen. How in the inferno do you help soul who has given up all Bob Hope ? Who is afraid the to the lowest degree resistance could spell the death of its family and planet ?

session Alan tried to intend of some way to get through, he had magic sure, but did n't believe he had enough knowledge yet to cure what was ailing these existence. Sighing Alan cleared his mind and tried to think of an resolution, all got tranquillise around him then suddenly he was back on Horpix 's satellite. Alan flew forward and within minute was standing before Queen glimmering, though the precaution had already tried to stop him.

'' Hello again Glimmer, '' Alan started.

'' Alan !'she said startled, `` I did n't expect to see you again so soon, what is wrong ? Your face holds such a aspect of confusion and desperation. ''

Alan went on to separate her everything he could, what he 'd felt and seen when he 'd gone back to try and release these people. The Queen nodded thinking for a few long consequence, `` I think you 'll take one of my multitude with you, they know my people there and know of us being captured. I feel it is the solely way that we can truly free them, but who to send ? So many of my people are just now starting to retrieve their top executive. '' Alan looked at the poof in shock, just started to recover their power ? `` Ok, '' he started, `` I 'm still new at this what do you mean they just started to recover their powerfulness ? From what I saw when I was here they had plenty of power. ''


Queen Glimmer 's face took on a serious aspect as she leaned closer to him, `` What you were seeing was their power forced to the open. This had destroyed millions in the past ; there are times I am still surprised that we survived at all. You did more than just free us Alan, you gave us back life that, we can never return you. ''

Obviously Alan 's fount held cushion as the king looked at him and shook her head yes. `` Thank you Glimmer but I still I did n't do that much, I also thank you for your assistant with these people, I am near my mental capacity end on what to do about them. ''

The questioning look she was giving Alan made him stop a moment, `` humor end ? '' She questioned.

Alan smiled, `` I 'm dingy, it 's a term on my world that means I am out of theme about how to aid them. ''

The queen nodded her agreement, `` I will air you someone as soon as I locate them in the mean fourth dimension, go back and try to repair what you can. '' Nodding I thank her and was suddenly back on the planet.

Looking around Alan saw that truly these organism had nix. He approached the firstly being he saw cringing as he saw it shake at his advance. In the lowest and softest voice Alan could, he ask if there were any urban center left. Immediately one of the three lip on the look of the being spoke, `` No great Tracka, this field used to be a dandy city when I was humble, it has been gone almost all my lifespan. '' Looking at the small being Alan saw what it had as a child, hmmm, not too bad, as he turned and started to swipe a edifice from the terra firma where it had been in his thinker.

Soon he had almost one-half of what he 'd seen, damn this was almost fun for a change. The small, yellow skinned, 4 eyed, three mouthed creature could only stare in almost disbelief.

Alan turned to the creature, `` I want you to tell apart all your people, this is where I want them to be, this is their ancient city and I want them in it. '' The small puppet was slowly backing away from Alan shaking, terrified to disobey. Sighing Alan could see it was going to take a lot to truly devoid these people, if it was possible. `` Please go, tell as many as you can, I want them here, many are grim, the walls will protect them now. ''

All 4 eyes encompassing, the older beast started to scramble away to pop out spreading the Holy Writ.

Sighing again Alan looked around the place it was missing something. Looking again at the vision he 'd sustain from the wight, Alan snapped his digit ah ! There had been a wall ! With that he began to pull, A 10 understructure tall stone wall began to grow from the ground around the metropolis he 'd erected, a smile crossing his face, he was beaming when the wall crushed where the last roughshod ruler had lived. It was an time of day later when a few of the animal started to top the hill, though the younger ones did n't really understand, the a lot Old ace began to cry as they saw the hold up great urban center. Slowly and painfully they came to the entrance their eyes huge at the nobility of the ancient metropolis that had once been their dwelling house. Though many were wary of it they had been commanded by ( as they saw it ) the new ruler of their major planet, so they dared not to disobey. Alan had hidden out of sight afraid that they might spread in brat if they saw him there near the entering. Well, he thought all I have to do is wait for Glimmer to send me someone, then maybe I can truly bulge out to assist these people.

Alan stood nearby watching as Sir Thomas More and more than people came into the old city, he 'd made sure each edifice had food in it, more than enough for these starving being. An 60 minutes later almost as if on cue one of the Queens people appeared next to him.

'' Hello Mazey Alan, '' she said, `` Queen intimation sent me to assist these beings, so you could also. It may take me a longsighted time, I believe you call it an 60 minutes ? Yes a very farsighted fourth dimension indeed. Go home and return in 2 of your hours I should give opened their spirit and minds by then. '' Alan nodded, he was starting to feel thirsty, a immediate bite might aid after all. Awakening on the bed, it took a moment for Alan to aline to his milieu, it seemed like years since he was here. Stretching Alan looked at his plain stitch room again, god he thought how far down I 've fallen sighing, he realized that he missed Hopix far Sir Thomas More than he had thought at first of all.

Walking out Alan headed to the same dining car he 'd been to the last few days he 'd eaten. He was almost there when he felt respective circle of eyes on him, hmmm Alan could find the evil and hatred oozing out of the owners all directed toward him. Stopping a moment he did n't feel any of them come any snug to him, good matter too, it was never a good prison term to mess up with Alan when he was thirsty as he tended to be more impatient and cranky. He only waited a second then went in, at least they were wising up then again as frustrated as he was, a secure fight right now might help.

Finally getting to eat in peace treaty for once Alan could still find them out there and it appeared that there were Thomas More than just a few of them what were they that afraid that they were going to round in great deal ? A bad fault for sure he had a little surprise for them.

He was probably half way back to his room when he felt first 2 then another 4 then 5 more step out behind him. Better take this out of the way Alan thought as he turned a corner and widened an alley way. He felt now a amount of 20 advancing on him, shit, was n't that a bit of over kill ? Moving to the far end he awaited their eventual appearance.

All 20 had entered the alley way when Alan closed it off to the outside reality. `` wellspring is there one to utter for all of you or are you going to get in each former 's way trying to get to me ? '' Alan started.

'' I speak for all, you have caused your last hitch of the darkness council 's plans. Today you die ! '' The man yelled.

Laughing Alan waved his hand freezing 18 of the 20 men hmmm ok they sent reliable powered 1 this clock time Alan thought skilful I 'm through performing. The 2 men looked at each other and laughed then advanced on Alan. Yawning Alan waited 'til they were 10 feet away then grabbed both in mid stride, squeezing, both screamed until a pitch-dark mist rose from each.

Looking at the others they also had a mist rising from them, then all 20 bodies crumbled to dust. Shaking his head Alan had to severalise the council.

< Yes Alan, we saw, unfortunately though the council can no longer interpose, their broker still can, be careful you have eliminated some of their more powerful agents but they have many more out there. >

Great, Alan thought, so now they are prying into my thoughts ? well, that form of put a damper on anything private now did n't it ?

< No Alan we have no desire to pry into your buck private thought, we are only listening now as a precaution to you being attacked and needing help. Though from all that we 've seen in the cobbler's last few case you are far more modern than we thought at first. > Alan was about to sack off a snapping solvent when he received a message from the Fairixie he 'd left on the planet.

< Mazey Alan ! > He heard the trivial woman call. < I have freed enough of the people that they will listen to you. Many have heard my story and that of my people and indirect request for your help. >

< Alright, > replied Alan, < I am returning in a few moments. >
Lying down Alan was back to the planet within moments, there were a slap-up many pant when he appeared but at to the lowest degree this prison term there was no whole sales event shriek.

An older phallus of the defeated multitude stepped forward, `` Tracka Alan, the Fairixie has explained who and what you are. Though you have provided for our the great unwashed the first comfort any have had in almost their entire life history, many are still untrusting. ''

Alan nodded he had been afraid when he first saw them that, many had been denied for all their life history as the elder being said.

'' I am not here to rule you, I have no interest in that, I work with the illumine council, '' this garnered a few jump reaction in the crowd. `` I was hoping that this gift of one of your oldest metropolis might facilitate you recover better. ''

'' Yes, '' the senior started, `` Many though still think that you will indeed involve everything soon, though you are the first-class honours degree to actually gift us a piece of our self back, along with some of our history. For that alone I thank you, I can sense that there is more than you wish to do for us. ''

'' I wish to bring in sure that no one can control you like that again, something like I did for the Fairixies. '' Alan stated.

'' That would be marvellous, '' started the elder, `` though I am afraid many will be repellent to the approximation, we will do what we can, please start with those of that will allow it, that way maybe many others will keep an eye on. ''

Sighing Alan could see that this was going to be a longsighted few weeks, fixing their judgment would take no clip at all it was just going to be difficult to get them all obviously. Working on each individual was going to take a long meter, though there were a few things Alan thought he could do to speed it up a bit.

Finally after 2 long calendar week, when Alan finally finished with the conclusion group of the Tribocs as he started to promise them. That plus the fact he 'd also raised 3 early cities on the planet was also helping with the grounds.

With the major planet protected Alan realized that this was the get-go clip he had n't had to actually be there, well that was weird in a way admittedly he 'd gone back each day to aim care of his dead body, and still it seemed he was gone from it most of the clip. The council thanked him again telling him he earned a rest, nodding he was back in his way. Opening his eyes he looked around the room, sighing he wished it was n't so sad, damn he missed Hopix.

'' And why would you overleap me ? '' He heard near his ear turning he could barely make out her precis.

'' Please do n't play with me I know she went nursing home to stay. '' Alan said.

'' Why would I do that when you need me here so badly ? '' Hopix replied. Alan had to do a double take was it really her ?
