tonic and I landed with a thud as we came out of the prison term portal. I was still going over everything that I had seen after I had shoved the second physical structure through. A hunter ! I knew that they wanted me and my family line gone though I could n't see them finding a really reason for a hunter.

'' You wondering how they are going to vindicate sending a hunting watch ? '' I heard popping breaking my wagon train of cerebration.
'' Yeah papa that had occurred to me. We are going to possess to leave Pops ; I ca n't endanger the rest of the tribe like this. '' I told him a piddling afraid that the hunter would kill everyone just to get to me.

Shaking his brain daddy started to laugh softly a mo. `` Really tonic I fail to see what is so damn odd ! '' I yelled at him.

'' Toman you have far to a greater extent control condition than your father 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 validation 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 daddy as if he were crazy. True the second time I opened the hepatic portal vein 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 plenty time there is almost zilch that you ca n't do. We need to get you training as soon as we can. I feel it is the only fortune we have. ''

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

'' I 'm sorry pa I do n't require you to get hurt. Had I you this high that asshole would n't have been able to anguish you. You 're a level higher than he was, it is n't decent yet though, I can finger it is straining you some. '' I told him.

'' Hell son anything you can do will be a help. I might not be able to ache them but now I can make them influence at hurting me. '' popping said with a half smile.

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

dad nodded, `` I 'm sorry Toman I thought a piffling humor might help oneself you to relax some. I apologize. ''

I hung my head it was unfeigned I was uptight as hell ; especially after learning that the council was sending their estimable Orion after me. Everyone knew of the huntsman, and they rarely failed. Armed with a myriad of charms they were virtually undefeatable. A moment later I felt Pops hand slapping my brass.

'' You need to stop this defeatist mental attitude ! You think you are going to miss going into a battle then it 's a damn sure bet you will ! '' Pops said his eyes flaring.

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

Pops was shaking his pass looking at me as if I was the most stupid being in existence. `` They can be beat and I thought you had noticed that you are anything BUT normal ! You have a wellspring spring of business leader within you that the universe has n't seen in a tenacious time ! Now then get over this pathos that you are feeling ; we have to increase you ! ''

I was about to do 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 thought.

[ Yes Mordy. We just got back good-for-nothing we were gone so long. We had ... ] Pops started.

[ Thank the groovy business leader that you have returned ! ] Tall Bear interrupted dada thoughts. [ It 's Naci ! I came back today to obtain her missing ! I have searched but am feeling nothing. I need your help Toman ! Even with what you increased in me I can not experience her. ]

I was shocked as I looked at soda water. She was missing ? A high elite group could n't find her ? Growling I thought this felt like a huntsman. 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 Pops trying to maintain up with me smiling I thought good he 's going to facilitate. Arriving at Tall Bear 's teepee I went inside trying to experience anything I could. Shaking my top dog I was about to go forth when I felt then saw the cerebration cube. Walking to it I felt it pulse then surface.

'' goodness you found this, so there are two wild legerdemain user 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 spirit level Hunter and I took her easily, her being trained. You should be well-off so come to me you miserable spell of filth ! '' I could feel the angriness rising in me as the cube shut off. Walking out I tried to prevail it in, though I was failing.

Through clenched teeth I told papa and improbable Bear. `` A mongrel hunter has taken her. This is my demerit I will go after her ! ''

'' No Toman, '' Tall Bear started 'til I turned toward him blowing him a goodness 40 feet away.

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

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

'' I think he knows Mordy, and I do n't think 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 hunter. I doubt seriously that the one holding her has much of a chance even with all the charms. '' soda pop replied.

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

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

I appeared stat mi from the federation of tribes's camp a immense clarification with Naci sitting in the middle. `` Ah so you came after all ! This short tart must signify a lot to you. It 's ok I 'll do away with her as soon as I am done with you. fall on I know you want to pop me let 's see if you can ! ''

Not moving I felt no less than forty charms around the clearing. Let 's see power siphoning, power dampening, I think I felt great power foil on him. Smiling I took a measure feeling the siphoning kickoff up. Reaching out I sent a Brobdingnagian wave of power toward all of them smiling when they all started to pop out of existence. Several chopping question took aid of the dampening effects as those split in half useless.

Taking another step I smiled even bigger. The hunter 's middle were huge as he moved to a now unconscious mind Naci. `` occlusive ! Another stride and your little whore is idle ! ''

Growling I felt my anger commencement again how dare this objet d'art of trash tactual sensation her ! Reaching out with my judgement I saw each magic spell he had left. Then I felt each one starting line to crack. The huntsman 's sassing dropped unresolved as I saw him mouth ‘ how ?'

'' You are a stupid musical composition of trash ! poor fish in that you should research more before you take on an opponent that is far stronger than your charms ! tactual sensation her again and know that the demise you experience may never end ! '' I growled between clenched teeth.

'' Ha ! As Long as I hold your whore I have tycoon over you ! Now on your genu while I take your life ! '' With a distasteful laugh the huntsman waited.

I could sense my anger growing by the second. Finally I raised my hand motioning toward the hunter. At maiden nothing happened then the Orion 's arm snapped as it was thrust backward. Then the former arm snapped twice as it also was bent backward. Slicing with my manus both legs were suddenly laying beside the huntsman 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 short as soon as I entered this clearing you were just too stupid to realize it ! '' Reaching in I stripped all of what niggling power the hunting watch had. `` I leave you this, '' I told him as I placed a vision of him being burned active over and over. `` so long you ass ! '' Walking away I heard him start to wail, cry then scream as in his creative thinker his flesh 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 last look at the hunter feeling his memory growing modest and belittled. Nodding I thought of the hamlet and flashed out.

Appearing on the out skirts I started to walk in carrying Naci in my arms. There was a outstanding hoo-ha then soda water and Tall Bear were beside me helping me as I made a engineer line for their teepee. Neither man said a word as I still wore an extremely pissed off facial expression on my nerve. Finally I walked in placing Naci on her skins, only then could I unstrain.

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

papa and Tall Bear shook their heads as they sent for several fair sex. bathing Naci 's face then trying to run to me I sat there like a gem awaiting the number 1 mansion from Naci. It was almost two hours later that Naci 's eyes flickered open. Looking around in stupor her eyes settled on me.

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

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

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

[ You are to be my wife. Would you bear less of me ? You will be the other 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 compliment me. Though most only said it then moved off seeing the look of anger that was still on my facial expression and in my eyes. I had to find Tall Bear, I had to get unattackable. 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 take into account this to pass off again ! '' Looking at soda I smiled the low material smiling I had all day. `` It was as you said pops. There are means I just had n't thought of them. Though I expect that the hunter son of the council leader will ingest far more powerful charms. ''

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

'' It would be an pureness 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 esteem. If you insist then I will Tall ... Mordaf. '' I replied.

'' Good let 's go to the ripple I think it still has its economic consumption. '' Mordaf said.

'' Do you let the clip ? 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 stronger qualifies as that ! '' Mordaf told me as I nodded.

As we moved off into the timber a sudden thought process occurred to me. `` Mordaf ? Many saw what happened. Will you be able 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 point in thought process then spread his hands out as he gripped the memory of almost all in the village. 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 able-bodied to achieve what I just did. ''

I stood still a moment as I looked within then with a grinning I nodded to him. `` Yes I have all the principle of it inside. This should be a proficient start. '' I told him and daddy with a grin.

Mordaf looked at tonic with a unplayful font then motioned for me to abide by him. For the rest period of the day Mordaf did every enchantment, and hex that he knew, going through them as fast as he could. Having me reprise what he 'd just done was an add up bonus. Finally we stopped as he turned toward me.

'' I 'm afraid that is the extent of all that I know. '' Reaching out his paw he started to scan me then his heart went spacious. `` By all the power of the world ! Your controller is almost complete. I 'm afraid that my brother is the merely one left that can teach or show you now. Though from what I feel you are quickly gaining on him. ''

'' I 'm not so indisputable Mordy, '' daddy spoke up. `` Just how long has it been since you lastly saw your brother ? ''

Mordaf was deep in cerebration a moment then stated, `` Not that long 'bout five hundred years. ''

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

Mordaf 's mouth was now hanging out-of-doors, `` By all that 's sanctum ! He told me he was trying to do it. I never thought that he would succeed ! tell apart me did he always seem to have a low dark putting surface gem with him ? ''

pop music was hushed for a few instant then nodded affirmative. `` Why, was this of significance ? ''

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

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

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

Looking at me with a questioning feel I shrugged again telling him, `` I do n't really remember anything about it. I was only in my number one ten year year. ''

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

'' Ok I 've heard of the Philosopher 's Stone the wholly turning base metallic element into gold. Call me pudden-head but really I 've never heard of the founding endocarp. '' I told Mordaf with all earnestness.

'' You were n't as far as I thought you were, '' turning to soda he stated. `` You though studied with me. I damn sure heard of it. '' When pops still looked at sea Mordaf sighed and continued. `` The founding stone enables a illusion user to increase their power and dead body to the point it is permanent. If my Brother has accomplished this then yes, he is the entirely one who can instruct 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 power is far beyond almost all mages. As you feared though it still is n't as high as the council leader, even though it would take all he has to kill you that 's for sure as shooting. ''

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

'' I 'm not so sure Toman. terminal I checked he had some extremely mighty safety device on the island keeping everyone and everything away. He wanted no pause while he was resting, hell I ca n't blame him ! '' Pops said with large heart as he could see that I was considering going anyway.

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

pop music walked to me, `` Please be measured Toman. The last I saw he had some really powerful sentries. ''

'' I will Pops, '' 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 flash out when a vocalisation behind me stopped me cold. `` So you are in such a hurry you couldn't tell your bride to be where you are going ? imprecate it Toman you have to be the most maddening male I have ever met ! Here I thought father was difficult ! Had you not ignored me, '' here she also turned toward Mordaf, `` both of you ! Then this situation with the Orion would n't induce happened in the first situation. Argh ! You make me so mad ! '' Walking up to Toman she pointed a slender finger in his face. `` You better get back or you might actually see what an experienced waste illusion drug user can do ! '' With a disgust grunt Naci whirled and marched away.

All three of the males could only watch out her as she quickly receded into the space. dad shook his headspring chuckling, and then leaned down to me closing my oral fissure. `` Boy, I think you wagerer listen what she 'd said. The wrath of a woman in making love can be a very powerful affair ! You might think you have office, she has a power that you 'll never be able to master. ''

I was nodding to Pops as I was unable to take my centre off the receding flesh of Naci. By the power of the universe when had she suddenly become so damn serious looking ? Finally she moved out of visual sense allowing me to tear my center away from where she 'd been. I had just started to turn back to dada when I heard Naci.

[ You had salutary remember Toman ! Do n't get me get along after you ! ] Her thoughts said.

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

[ Good ! I 'll be waiting for you. You 'd better hurry I need to train also. You are the only one warm 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 quiet.

I could only shake my headspring after that exchange. Nodding to both Pops and Mordaf I concentrated, opened a hepatic portal vein then stepped through. As I was moving forward I suddenly felt a business leader pushing against the portal. tinker's dam I thought pigeon hawk had all bases covered ! The closer to the end I got the Sir Thomas More ability I felt pushing against me and the portal.

Finally I opened up pushing back against whatever was trying to lay off me from reaching the end. Finally after what felt the like 60 minutes I felt the end of the portal. The suddenly I was flying out of the end at a luxuriously velocity !

Stopping in an instant I saw that the tree diagram and botany 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 footing.

shaking my chief I increased my mightiness going foster airborne. I might have got gotten another fifty feet when I saw that I was starting to shine out of the sky again. Pushing my major power up even further I finally started to find the dampening issue that was over the total island. I was n't going to make it all the way to him but I might get a blaze of a lot closer. It was just going to claim a lot of assiduity.

I made it about another five hundred thousand when I just sway my headspring and landed. By my calculation I was more than one-half way to him. It should n't be that toilsome to walk to him. Even as I landed I saw front behind and in front of me. Suddenly quite a few huge reptiles walked and leaped out of the high grass. Some of then issued hissing growling as they steadily stalked me. Waving my hand well over one-half of then vanished with eerie screeching. The relaxation stopped, blinking at where the others had been.

All of a sudden a lot of those left started to boo at me. Growling myself I did n't feature clock time for this as I started to king up again. A vocalization behind me stopped me from releasing the energy.

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