dad and I landed with a thud as we came out of the clock time vena portae. I was still going over everything that I had seen after I had shoved the s body through. A hunter ! I knew that they wanted me and my family gone though I could n't see them finding a rattling reasonableness for a hunter.

'' You wondering how they are going to justify sending a huntsman ? '' I heard soda breaking my train of thought.
'' Yeah pops that had occurred to me. We are going to own to allow pop music ; I ca n't queer the rest of the tribe like this. '' I told him a slight afraid that the huntsman would kill everyone just to get to me.

Shaking his head papa started to laugh softly a moment. `` Really popping I fail to see what is so deuced funny ! '' I yelled at him.

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

I could only stare at pop as if he were crazy. true the instant time I opened the portal it had been extremely easy. How in the hell was that gaining control. `` I 'm not really seeing it Pops, '' I said.

Sighing Pops 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 adequate time there is almost nix that you ca n't do. We need to get you training as soon as we can. I feel it is the alone chance we have. ''

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

'' I 'm grim dada I do n't want you to get hurt. Had I you this senior high that asshole would n't get been able to hurt you. You 're a spirit level high-pitched than he was, it is n't enough yet though, I can feel it is straining you some. '' I told him.

'' hell son anything you can do will be a assist. I might not be able to hurt them but now I can make them forge at hurting me. '' dada said with a one-half smile.

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

soda water nodded, `` I 'm drear Toman I thought a little temper might help oneself you to decompress some. I apologize. ''

I hung my oral sex it was true I was uptight as hell ; especially after learning that the council was sending their best hunter after me. Everyone knew of the huntsman, and they rarely failed. Armed with a 10000 of charms they were virtually undefeatable. A minute later I felt popping hand slapping my expression.

'' You need to stop this negativist attitude ! You think you are going to lose going into a battle then it 's a goddam sure bet you will ! '' Pops said his eyes flaring.

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

Pops was shaking his head looking at me as if I was the most stupe being in creation. `` They can be circumvent and I thought you had noticed that you are anything BUT normal ! You have a well spring of baron within you that the universe has n't seen in a foresightful time ! Now then get over this pity that you are feeling ; we have to increase you ! ''

I was about to resolve 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 thoughts.

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

[ Thank the great office that you have returned ! ] Tall Bear interrupted soda thoughts. [ It 's Naci ! I came back today to ascertain 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 Pops. She was missing ? A high up 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 drawing card'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 soda water trying to continue up with me smiling I thought salutary he 's going to assist. 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 retrieve cube. Walking to it I felt it pulse then open.

'' Good you found this, so there are two wild trick users here ! Come for me you freakish son of a human ! 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 hunter and I took her easily, her being trained. You should be easy so come to me you miserable piece of filth ! '' I could feel the anger rising in me as the cube shut off. Walking out I tried to hold it in, though I was failing.

Through clenched teeth I told Pops and marvellous Bear. `` A bastard Orion 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 feet 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 Pops I suddenly flashed out.

daddy 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 guess he cares. No I think you are seeing him finally accepting that he also loves her. God I would n't want to be that hunting watch. I doubt seriously that the one holding her has much of a chance even with all the charms. '' Pops replied.

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

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

I appeared miles from the tribe's camp a huge clearing with Naci sitting in the heart. `` Ah so you came after all ! This petty tart must entail 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 kill me let 's see if you can ! ''

Not moving I felt no less than 40 magical spell around the clearing. Let 's see power siphoning, king moistening, I think I felt top executive enhancers on him. Smiling I took a whole tone feeling the siphoning offset up. Reaching out I sent a huge moving ridge of baron toward all of them smiling when they all started to pop out of existence. Several chopping motions took care of the dampening impression as those rip in half useless.

pickings another step I smiled even magnanimous. The hunter 's eyes were huge as he moved to a now unconscious Naci. `` Stop ! Another whole tone and your fiddling prostitute is utterly ! ''

growl I felt my angriness start again how daring this bit of methamphetamine hydrochloride touch her ! Reaching out with my judgment I saw each charm he had left. Then I felt each one start to quip. The hunter 's oral fissure dropped candid as I saw him verbalise ‘ how ?'

'' You are a dolt part of rubbish ! pudden-head in that you should research More before you take on an opponent that is far impregnable than your charms ! Touch her again and have a go at it that the destruction you experience may never end ! '' I growled between clenched teeth.

'' Ha ! As Long as I hold your whore I have might over you ! Now on your stifle while I take your life ! '' With a disgusting laugh the hunter waited.

I could feel my anger growing by the moment. Finally I raised my mitt motioning toward the hunter. At first nothing happened then the Orion 's arm snapped as it was thrust backward. Then the former arm snapped twice as it also was turn away backward. Slicing with my hand both legs were suddenly laying beside the hunting watch who was screaming at the top of his voice.

Walking up to all the parts I whispered barely able to contain my anger. `` You were beat as soon as I entered this clearing you were just too stupid to realize it ! '' Reaching in I stripped all of what little power the hunting watch had. `` I leave you this, '' I told him as I placed a visual modality of him being burned alert over and over. `` goodbye you ass ! '' Walking away I heard him start to whimper, cry then scream as in his judgement his human body was destroyed over and over.

I passed a hand over Naci trying to see what he 'd done to her. Thankfully she had only been knocked out. Picking her up I took a live on look at the Hunter feeling his storage growing smaller and smaller. Nodding I thought of the small town and flashed out.

Appearing on the out skirts I started to take the air in carrying Naci in my arms. There was a great hoo-ha then soda and Tall Bear were beside me helping me as I made a organize blood for their tepee. Neither man said a Book as I still wore an extremely pissed off flavor on my boldness. Finally I walked in placing Naci on her cutis, only then could I relax.

Even as I felt the tension leaving me I also felt my strength falter. I refused the help of either man as I sank to my knee joint beside Naci. I had almost lost her once I was n't about to leave her 'til I knew she was ok.

soda pop and Tall Bear shook their head teacher as they sent for several charwoman. Bathing Naci 's face then trying to run to me I sat there like a stone awaiting the first signal from Naci. It was almost two hours later that Naci 's eyes flickered open. Looking around in shock her eyes settled on me.

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

'' I was n't about to result 'til I was sure you were alright. '' Leaning close I whispered, `` That part of garbage will never pain you again ! I made sure of it ! '' Standing on unsteady legs I bowed to all the women and Naci the turned to leave.

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

[ You are to be my married woman. Would you expect lupus erythematosus 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 conserve to be I will always thank 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 nigh only said it then moved off seeing the looking at of angriness that was still on my brass and in my eyes. I had to come up marvelous 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 Pops.

Walking up to Tall Bear I whispered, `` You have to show me all that you can. I will not allow this to materialize again ! '' Looking at soda I smiled the first very smile I had all day. `` It was as you said soda. There are ways I just had n't thought of them. Though I expect that the Hunter son of the council leader will ingest far more powerful charm. ''

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

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

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

'' good let 's go to the house of cards I think it still has its use of goods and services. '' Mordaf said.

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

'' In this case I have postponed it. Protecting the tribe comes first. I believe getting you far secure qualifies as that ! '' Mordaf told me as I nodded.

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

Mordaf stopped a moment bowing his head in mentation then spread his hands out as he gripped the computer memory of almost all in the village. Concentrating a few import he nodded then looked at me. `` There that should do it though, I am assuming the side by side prison term you will be able-bodied to accomplish what I just did. ''

I stood still a import as I looked within then with a smiling I nodded to him. `` Yes I have all the principles of it inside. This should be a good start. '' I told him and soda water with a grinning.

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

'' I 'm afraid that is the extent of all that I know. '' Reaching out his hired hand he started to scan me then his eye went full. `` By all the major power of the universe ! Your control is almost nail. I 'm afraid that my blood brother is the just one left that can teach or register you now. Though from what I feel you are quickly gaining on him. ''

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

Mordaf was inscrutable in thought a mo then stated, `` Not that long 'bout five hundred year. ''

Pops nodded then dropped a bombshell, `` Mordy your sidekick 's mightiness has almost doubled in the last few hundred geezerhood ! ''

Mordaf 's mouth was now hanging open, `` By all that 's holy ! He told me he was trying to do it. I never thought that he would come after ! Tell me did he always seem to birth a lowly night viridity precious stone with him ? ''

Pops was pipe down for a few minute then nodded affirmatory. `` Why, was this of significance ? ''

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

'' Uh, no not really. '' soda pop told him.

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

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

Mordaf nodded then went on with his narrative. `` The founding Harlan Fisk Stone is a mystery much like the Philosopher 's Stone. Though I have heard it is three times harder to make, taking a hundred twelvemonth. This is as compared to twenty five for the Philosopher 's Harlan 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 Lucy Stone. '' I told Mordaf with all seriousness.

'' 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 dada still looked befuddle Mordaf sighed and continued. `` The founding Harlan Fisk Stone enables a magic exploiter to increase their power and physical structure to the point it is permanent. If my brother has accomplished this then yes, he is the only one who can learn or evince 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 power is far beyond almost all mages. As you feared though it still is n't as gamy as the council loss leader, even though it would take all he has to defeat you that 's for for sure. ''

I nodded as I thought about the post for a few moments. `` If I am as strong as you say, '' here I looked at Pops. `` Should n't I be capable to get to him Pops ? I know you said he has a lot of might but still. ''

'' I 'm not so sure Toman. concluding I checked he had some extremely herculean sentry go on the island keeping everyone and everything away. He wanted no suspension while he was resting, hell I ca n't blame him ! '' dad said with large eyes 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 Merlin. I turned back to Pops and Mordaf, `` I can feel him deep within the protection of the island. It feels as if I can get about half way to him. ''

soda water walked to me, `` Please be measured Toman. The last I saw he had some really potent sentries. ''

'' I will pop, '' turning to Mordaf I said, `` tell Naci I will be back as soon as I can then we can work on her defenses. ''

I was about to ostentate out when a voice behind me stopped me cold. `` So you are in such a hurry you couldn't tell your bride to be where you are going ? Damn it Toman you have to be the most vexing male I have ever met ! Here I thought father was unmanageable ! Had you not ignore me, '' here she also turned toward Mordaf, `` both of you ! Then this situation with the Orion would n't cause happened in the first post. Argh ! You make me so mad ! '' Walking up to Toman she pointed a slender finger's breadth in his face. `` You better number back or you might actually see what an experienced godforsaken magic substance abuser can do ! '' With a disgusted grunt Naci whirled and marched away.

All three of the male person could only watch her as she quickly receded into the distance. dada shook his head chuckling, and then leaned down to me closing my mouth. `` Boy, I think you skilful listen what she 'd said. The wrath of a cleaning lady in love can be a very hefty matter ! You might suppose you have power, she has a powerfulness that you 'll never be able to master. ''

I was nodding to Pops as I was ineffective to remove my heart off the receding form of Naci. By the power of the universe when had she suddenly become so damn good looking ? Finally she moved out of visual modality allowing me to shoot down my eyes away from where she 'd been. I had just started to turn back to soda pop when I heard Naci.

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

I swallowed hard at the effect of her persuasion. [ I wo n't forget Naci, how the underworld could I ? ] I replied.

[ trade good ! I 'll be waiting for you. You 'd better haste I need to cultivate also. You are the only one strong enough for me to train with ! At least that way I wo n't be as easy to overtake again ! ] Came her thoughts then all was tranquillise.

I could only shake my fountainhead after that exchange. Nodding to both Pops and Mordaf I concentrated, opened a portal vein then stepped through. As I was moving forward I suddenly felt a powerfulness pushing against the portal. Damn I thought merlin had all bases covered ! The closer to the end I got the more power I felt pushing against me and the portal site.

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

fillet in an instant I saw that the Tree and vegetation was a lot larger than normal. Smiling I could see that Falco columbarius had been extremely busy. Looking at the ground I was n't all that sure it was safety to be down there. Floating forward I had n't gone more than twenty feet when I felt myself sinking toward the ground.

shakiness my head I increased my ability going further airborne. I might have gotten another fifty feet when I saw that I was starting to return out of the sky again. Pushing my powerfulness up even further I finally started to feel the dampening effect that was over the stallion island. I was n't going to score it all the way to him but I might get a Scheol of a lot closer. It was just going to take a lot of concentration.

I made it about another five hundred yards when I just shook my fountainhead and landed. By my calculation I was more than half way to him. It should n't be that hard to walk to him. Even as I landed I saw movement behind and in front of me. Suddenly quite a few huge reptiles walked and leaped out of the high forage. Some of then issued hissing growls as they steadily stalked me. Waving my handwriting well over half of then vanished with eerie screams. The relief stopped, blinking at where the others had been.

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

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