pappa and I landed with a thud as we came out of the time portal site. I was still going over everything that I had seen after I had shoved the second body through. A huntsman ! I knew that they wanted me and my home gone though I could n't see them finding a real reason for a hunter.

'' You wondering how they are going to rationalize sending a hunting watch ? '' I heard pops breaking my train of thought.
'' Yeah pops that had occurred to me. We are going to have to go out Pops ; I ca n't imperil the rest of the federation of tribes like this. '' I told him a little afraid that the hunter would kill everyone just to get to me.

Shaking his psyche soda started to chortle a moment. `` Really Pops I fail to see what is so damn funny ! '' I yelled at him.

'' Toman you have far more ascendancy than your father did. Hell I 'd say you have more than than any mage your age. The fact that you are mastering everything you see as quickly as you are is proof of that. If Mordaf can show you a lot more I think you might be damn near unstoppable. '' Pops told me.

I could only stare at dada as if he were screwball. true up the second meter I opened the vena portae it had been extremely easy. How in the perdition was that gaining control. `` I 'm not really seeing it tonic, '' I said.

Sighing soda said, `` Toman you have what we call a third eye what you see you learn physical or meta-physical. You are also as Mordaf said a total user, this means that given enough time there is almost naught that you ca n't do. We need to get you training as soon as we can. I feel it is the but chance we have. ''

I nodded as I looked at papa again. I could see where I had increased his defense reaction. Sighing I reached out trying to increase them more. A few here and now'later Pops eyes flew wide as he started to feel his protection barriers raise another two levels.

'' I 'm disconsolate Pops I do n't desire you to get hurt. Had I you this high that asshole would n't cause been able to hurt you. You 're a point higher than he was, it is n't enough yet though, I can feel it is straining you some. '' I told him.

'' Scheol son anything you can do will be a help. I might not be able to bruise them but now I can make them influence at hurting me. '' soda pop said with a half smiling.

'' Damn it Pops ! That is n't funny ! I 'm trying to be grievous here like you told me. '' I almost yelled.

tonic nodded, `` I 'm drear Toman I thought a little humor might serve you to unstrain some. I apologize. ''

I hung my psyche it was true I was highly strung as Hades ; especially after learning that the council was sending their best huntsman after me. Everyone knew of the hunters, and they rarely failed. Armed with a ten thousand of charms they were virtually undefeatable. A minute later I felt Pops hand slapping my typeface.

'' You need to stop this defeatist position ! You think you are going to lose going into a conflict then it 's a damn sure bet you will ! '' pa said his eyes flaring.

'' Damn it Pops ! '' I said as I rubbed my nerve. `` This is a hunter, a damn hunter their C. H. Best ! You know as well as I do that they ca n't be beat by formula means. ''

Pops was shaking his school principal looking at me as if I was the most dolt being in world. `` They can be beat and I thought you had noticed that you are anything BUT normal ! You have a wellspring fountain of power within you that the creation has n't seen in a long time ! Now then get over this pity that you are feeling ; we have to increase you ! ''

I was about to answer when we both heard Tall Bear. [ Reg ? Is that you ? ] Both of us looked at each other as we heard the almost desperation in his cerebration.

[ Yes Mordy. We just got back sorry we were gone so long. We had ... ] tonic started.

[ Thank the great power that you have returned ! ] Tall Bear interrupted Pops idea. [ It 's Naci ! I came back today to determine her missing ! I have searched but am feeling nothing. I need your help Toman ! Even with what you increased in me I can not feel her. ]

I was shocked as I looked at papa. She was missing ? A senior high school elite could n't feel her ? Growling I thought this felt like a hunter. It had to be ! Though it was far too soon for the council leader's son to have tracked us. [ I 'll be there as soon as I can ! ] I told Tall Bear.

As I started to run I felt pappa trying to go on up with me smiling I thought salutary he 's going to help. Arriving at Tall Bear 's teepee I went inside trying to feel anything I could. Shaking my head I was about to leave when I felt then saw the believe block. Walking to it I felt it pulse then assailable.

'' Good you found this, so there are two wild thaumaturgy users here ! Come for me you freakish son of a man ! If you are who I think you are then I should be well rewarded ! Well, afraid you piss ant ? You should be I am only a low level hunting watch and I took her easily, her being trained. You should be easy so come to me you poor bit of filth ! '' I could feel the choler rising in me as the cube shut off. Walking out I tried to hold it in, though I was failing.

Through clenched tooth I told popping and grandiloquent Bear. `` A bastard hunter has taken her. This is my fault I will go after her ! ''

'' No Toman, '' Tall Bear started 'til I turned toward him blowing him a good forty foundation away.

'' NO ! I said, `` I AM GOING AFTER HER ! Do not interfere ; do not get in my way ! '' Growling I held out my handwriting suddenly feeling Naci, Nodding to pop I suddenly flashed out.

Pops went to Tall Bear helping him up. `` Damn it Reg he 's walking into a trap ! ''

'' I think he knows Mordy, and I do n't retrieve he cares. No I think you are seeing him finally accepting that he also loves her. God I would n't need to be that hunting watch. I doubt seriously that the one holding her has much of a luck even with all the charms. '' Pops replied.

'' Has he that much control ? '' Tall Bear asked.

'' When it comes to her ? Yeah that and a whole lot more ! '' Pops said.

I appeared stat mi from the kindred's camp a vast clearing with Naci sitting in the middle. `` Ah so you came after all ! This little fancy woman must mean a lot to you. It 's ok I 'll extinguish her as soon as I am done with you. Come on I know you want to down me let 's see if you can ! ''

Not moving I felt no lupus erythematosus than 40 good luck charm around the clearing. Let 's see power siphoning, might dampening, I think I felt mogul enhancer on him. Smiling I took a step feeling the siphoning start up. Reaching out I sent a huge moving ridge of ability toward all of them smiling when they all started to pop out of cosmos. respective chopping motions took care of the dampening effects as those schism in half useless.

Taking another whole step I smiled even bigger. The Hunter 's eyes were vast as he moved to a now unconscious mind Naci. `` stopover ! Another measure and your little whore is utter ! ''

growl I felt my see red start again how dare this piece of wish-wash touch her ! Reaching out with my mind I saw each charm he had left. Then I felt each one start to crack. The hunter 's sassing dropped heart-to-heart as I saw him mouth ‘ how ?'

'' You are a stupid part of trash ! Stupid in that you should enquiry Sir Thomas More before you take on an opposition that is far stronger than your charms ! soupcon her again and know that the death you experience may never end ! '' I growled between clenched teeth.

'' Ha ! As Long as I hold your lady of pleasure I have power over you ! Now on your knees while I take your lifespan ! '' With a wicked laugh the hunting watch waited.

I could feel my anger growing by the instant. Finally I raised my hand motioning toward the hunter. At first zip happened then the hunter 's arm snapped as it was poking backward. Then the other arm snapped twice as it also was flex backward. Slicing with my hand both stage were suddenly laying beside the hunter who was screaming at the top of his vocalization.

Walking up to all the portion I whispered barely able to contain my angriness. `` You were dead as soon as I entered this clearing you were just too stupid to realize it ! '' Reaching in I stripped all of what footling power the huntsman had. `` I leave you this, '' I told him as I placed a sight of him being burned live over and over. `` auf wiedersehen you ass ! '' Walking away I heard him start to whimper, cry then scream as in his mind his flesh was destroyed over and over.

I passed a script over Naci trying to see what he 'd done to her. Thankfully she had only been knocked out. Picking her up I took a last facial expression at the Hunter feeling his retention growing smaller and small-scale. Nodding I thought of the village and flashed out.

coming into court on the out dame I started to walk in carrying Naci in my coat of arms. There was a great commotion then papa and Tall Bear were beside me helping me as I made a mastermind line for their teepee. Neither man said a word as I still wore an extremely pissed off looking on my face. Finally I walked in placing Naci on her skins, only then could I relax.

Even as I felt the tension leaving me I also felt my military capability waver. I refused the help of either man as I sank to my genu beside Naci. I had almost lost her once I was n't about to leave behind her 'til I knew she was ok.

daddy and Tall Bear shook their capitulum as they sent for several char. Bathing Naci 's grimace then trying to tend to me I sat there like a stone awaiting the first sign from Naci. It was almost two hours later that Naci 's optic flickered open. Looking around in daze her center settled on me.

'' Toman ! You should not be here ! '' She whispered a little afraid.

'' I was n't about to provide 'til I was trusted you were alright. '' Leaning last I whispered, `` That man of garbage will never ache you again ! I made sure of it ! '' Standing on unfirm legs I bowed to all the adult female and Naci the turned to give.

I heard a gasp behind me then I heard Naci, [ thank you Toman. He took me by surprise I thought I was suddenly. Again you have saved my life ! ]

[ You are to be my wife. Would you ask to a lesser extent of me ? You will be the former half of me. I will always protect you one way or another ! ] I thought back to her as I left the teepee.

[ Still husband to be I will always give thanks you. 'Til we are together, ] Naci responded emphatically !

Nodding I moved off through the Village as many of the warriors came up to congratulate me. Though most only said it then moved off seeing the looking of angriness that was still on my face and in my optic. I had to chance Tall Bear, I had to get stronger. I could n't let this happen again ! Marching as well as I could I soon found Tall Bear and daddy.

Walking up to Tall Bear I whispered, `` You have to render me all that you can. I will not grant this to happen again ! '' Looking at Pops I smiled the low gear real smile I had all day. `` It was as you said papa. There are ways I just had n't thought of them. Though I expect that the hunter son of the council leader will induce far more powerful charms. ''

Turning to Tall Bear I said, `` We need to do this as flying as possible I need more control. I have almost all of it though I feel there is a bit missing. ''

'' It would be an honor to teach you all that I know Toman though if I do. '' Here he smiled big, `` I insist that you also call me Mordaf, are we agreed ? ''

'' Sir, I was only showing obedience. If you insist then I will Tall ... Mordaf. '' I replied.

'' good let 's go to the bubble I think it still has its usance. '' Mordaf said.

'' Do you have the time ? I thought you would be busy 'til tomorrow. '' I told him.

'' In this showcase I have postponed it. Protecting the federation of tribes comes first. I believe getting you far stronger qualifies as that ! '' Mordaf told me as I nodded.

As we moved off into the wood a sudden thought occurred to me. `` Mordaf ? Many saw what happened. Will you be able to do a reset of their remembering ? They were afraid of me adequate before this. God they must be terrified now. ''

Mordaf stopped a moment bowing his head in thought process then spread his deal out as he gripped the computer storage of almost all in the small town. Concentrating a few moment he nodded then looked at me. `` There that should do it though, I am assuming the next time you will be capable to fulfill what I just did. ''

I stood still a moment as I looked within then with a smile I nodded to him. `` Yes I have all the principles of it inside. This should be a good starting. '' I told him and pop with a smile.

Mordaf looked at papa with a serious cheek then motioned for me to follow him. For the eternal rest of the day Mordaf did every spell, and hex that he knew, going through them as fast as he could. Having me recur what he 'd just done was an added bonus. Finally we stopped as he turned toward me.

'' I 'm afraid that is the extent of all that I know. '' Reaching out his mitt he started to scan me then his eyes went wide. `` By all the power of the universe ! Your control is almost complete. I 'm afraid that my brother is the only one left that can teach or record you now. Though from what I feel you are quickly gaining on him. ''

'' I 'm not so sure enough Mordy, '' daddy spoke up. `` Just how long has it been since you last saw your sidekick ? ''

Mordaf was deep in thought a here and now then stated, `` Not that long 'bout five hundred years. ''

Pops nodded then dropped a bombshell, `` Mordy your comrade 's power has almost doubled in the last few hundred years ! ''

Mordaf 's mouth was now hanging open, `` By all that 's sanctum ! He told me he was trying to do it. I never thought that he would succeed ! Tell me did he always seem to have a pocket-size dark greenish jewel with him ? ''

pa was quiet for a few moment then nodded affirmatory. `` Why, was this of significance ? ''

'' Uh yeah ! I take it you never heard of the founding Edward Durell Stone ? '' Mordaf told tonic who looked at me as I just shrugged.

'' Uh, no not really. '' Pops told him.

Mordaf could only shake his principal. `` By all that 's holy place ! What are they teaching the younger mages these days at the school ? ''

Looking at me with a questioning looking at I shrugged again telling him, `` I do n't really remember anything about it. I was only in my first ten years class. ''

Mordaf nodded then went on with his narrative. `` The creation stone is a mystery a great deal like the Philosopher 's Stone. Though I have heard it is three times harder to make, taking a hundred year. This is as compared to twenty five for the Philosopher 's Stone. ''

'' Ok I 've heard of the Philosopher 's Stone the whole turning base metals into Au. Call me stupid but really I 've never heard of the founding stone. '' I told Mordaf with all unassumingness.

'' You were n't as far as I thought you were, '' turning to Pops he stated. `` You though studied with me. I damn sure heard of it. '' When pops still looked bemused Mordaf sighed and continued. `` The founding stone enables a magic substance abuser to increase their power and body to the level it is permanent. If my sidekick has accomplished this then yes, he is the but one who can teach or show you now. ''

'' So you have shown me all that you can do ? '' I asked.

Nodding Mordaf replied, `` I 'm afraid so. Though I have to tell you your major power is far beyond almost all mages. As you feared though it still is n't as mellow as the council leader, even though it would assume all he has to defeat you that 's for surely. ''

I nodded as I thought about the situation for a few minute. `` If I am as strong as you say, '' here I looked at dad. `` Should n't I be able to get to him pappa ? I know you said he has a lot of tycoon but still. ''

'' I 'm not so sure Toman. Last I checked he had some extremely powerful guards on the island keeping everyone and everything away. He wanted no interruptions while he was resting, hell I ca n't blame him ! '' daddy said with large middle as he could see that I was considering going anyway.

I nodded as I turned trying to get a mien on when and where this island was. Again I nodded as I suddenly felt pigeon hawk. I turned back to pappa and Mordaf, `` I can feel him deep within the protective cover of the island. It feels as if I can get about half way to him. ''

soda pop walked to me, `` Please be careful Toman. The last I saw he had some really mighty spotter. ''

'' I will toss off, '' turning to Mordaf I said, `` tell Naci I will be back as soon as I can then we can work on her defense reaction. ''

I was about to scoot out when a voice behind me stopped me cold. `` So you are in such a hurry you couldn't state your bride to be where you are going ? Damn it Toman you have to be the most infuriating male I have ever met ! Here I thought father was difficult ! Had you not brush off me, '' here she also turned toward Mordaf, `` both of you ! Then this situation with the hunter would n't feature happened in the first office. Argh ! You make me so mad ! '' Walking up to Toman she pointed a slender digit in his cheek. `` You better come in back or you might actually see what an experienced angry magic user can do ! '' With a repel grunt Naci whirled and marched away.

All three of the males could only find out her as she quickly receded into the distance. Pops shook his head chuckling, and then leaned down to me closing my rima oris. `` Boy, I think you better heed what she 'd said. The wrath of a woman in love can be a very powerful affair ! You might think you have great power, she has a world power that you 'll never be able to overcome. ''

I was nodding to Pops as I was unable to exact my oculus off the receding form of Naci. By the power of the cosmos when had she suddenly become so damn good looking ? Finally she moved out of great deal allowing me to tear my eyes away from where she 'd been. I had just started to reverse back to papa when I heard Naci.

[ You had practiced remember Toman ! Do n't make me come after you ! ] Her view said.

I swallowed hard at the effect of her thoughts. [ I wo n't blank out Naci, how the hell could I ? ] I replied.

[ Good ! I 'll be waiting for you. You 'd better hurry I need to take aim also. You are the only one strong enough for me to train with ! At least that way I wo n't be as promiscuous to sweep over again ! ] Came her cerebration then all was lull.

I could only shake my head after that exchange. Nodding to both soda and Mordaf I concentrated, opened a portal vein then stepped through. As I was moving forward I suddenly felt a power pushing against the portal site. tinker's dam I thought merlin had all cornerstone covered ! The finisher to the end I got the more top executive I felt pushing against me and the portal vein.

Finally I opened up pushing back against whatever was trying to stop me from reaching the end. Finally after what felt like hr I felt the end of the portal site. The suddenly I was flying out of the end at a high up velocity !

Stopping in an instant I saw that the trees and vegetation was a lot larger than formula. Smiling I could see that pigeon hawk had been extremely busy. Looking at the ground I was n't all that sure it was safe to be down there. Floating forward I had n't gone More than twenty metrical foot when I felt myself sinking toward the ground.

quiver my fountainhead I increased my office going further airborne. I might stimulate gotten another l pes when I saw that I was starting to diminish out of the sky again. Pushing my big businessman up even further I finally started to palpate the dampening gist that was over the intact island. I was n't going to take a crap it all the way to him but I might get a hell of a lot closer. It was just going to take a lot of engrossment.

I made it about another five hundred yards when I just shake off my head and landed. By my computation I was more than half way to him. It should n't be that heavily to take the air to him. Even as I landed I saw apparent motion behind and in front of me. Suddenly quite a few Brobdingnagian reptilian walked and leaped out of the mellow green goddess. Some of then issued hissing growls as they steadily stalked me. Waving my helping hand well over half of then vanished with eery screeching. The rest stopped, blinking at where the others had been.

All of a sudden a lot of those left started to siss at me. Growling myself I did n't consume time for this as I started to power up again. A voice behind me stopped me from releasing the energy.

'' I do n't fuck who you are you mage, it is impolite to destroy another 's innovation ; especially when they are only doing their job. '' The voice said as I turned around. With a widely smile I saw that I had found Merlin after all or rather he had me .
