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

'' You wondering how they are going to justify sending a hunting watch ? '' I heard pops breaking my train of persuasion.
'' Yeah pappa that had occurred to me. We are going to have to leave Pops ; I ca n't endanger the rest of the tribe like this. '' I told him a little afraid that the huntsman would toss off everyone just to get to me.

Shaking his head Pops started to laugh softly a import. `` Really soda pop I fail to see what is so damn suspicious ! '' I yelled at him.

'' Toman you have far more control than your father did. pit I 'd say you have to a greater extent 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 than I think you might be damn near unstoppable. '' tonic told me.

I could only gaze at pa as if he were crazy. True the irregular time I opened the portal vein it had been extremely well-fixed. How in the hell was that gaining control. `` I 'm not really seeing it Pops, '' I said.

Sighing soda water said, `` Toman you have what we call a third base eye what you see you learn physical or meta-physical. You are also as Mordaf said a add up user, this means that given sufficiency sentence there is almost nothing that you ca n't do. We need to get you training as soon as we can. I feel it is the merely opportunity 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 minute'later Pops eyes flew widely as he started to sense his aegis barrier raise another two spirit level.

'' I 'm sad Pops I do n't want you to get hurt. Had I you this high gear that asshole would n't have been able to injure you. You 're a level higher than he was, it is n't sufficiency yet though, I can find it is straining you some. '' I told him.

'' Hell son anything you can do will be a help. I might not be able to hurt them but now I can clear them work at hurting me. '' Pops said with a one-half smile.

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

popping nodded, `` I 'm pitiful Toman I thought a little humour might help you to relax some. I apologize. ''

I hung my head it was true up I was uptight as blaze ; especially after learning that the council was sending their practiced hunter after me. Everyone knew of the Orion, and they rarely failed. Armed with a ten thousand of charms they were virtually undefeatable. A minute later I felt popping handwriting slapping my expression.

'' You need to kibosh this defeatist mental attitude ! You think you are going to mislay going into a battle then it 's a damn sure enough bet you will ! '' dada said his heart flaring.

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

daddy was shaking his head word 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 formula ! You have a well leap of power within you that the universe has n't seen in a long time ! Now then get over this shame 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 early as we heard the almost despair in his view.

[ Yes Mordy. We just got back no-account we were gone so long. We had ... ] dad started.

[ Thank the great great power that you have returned ! ] Tall Bear interrupted pappa thoughts. [ It 's Naci ! I came back today to find oneself her missing ! I have searched but am feeling zip. I need your assistant 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 gamy elite could n't palpate her ? Growling I thought this felt like a hunter. It had to be ! Though it was far too soon for the council loss 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 keep up with me smiling I thought good 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 thought cube. Walking to it I felt it pulse then open.

'' trade good you found this, so there are two wild magic users here ! come for me you gonzo 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 dentition I told pop and tall Bear. `` A asshole 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 secure XL understructure away.

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

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

'' I think he knows Mordy, and I do n't recall 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 probability even with all the charms. '' Pops replied.

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

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

I appeared miles from the folk's camp a Brobdingnagian clearing with Naci sitting in the center. `` Ah so you came after all ! This little whore 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 kill me let 's see if you can ! ''

Not moving I felt no less than 40 charm around the glade. Let 's see tycoon siphoning, power dampening, I think I felt index enhancer on him. Smiling I took a step feeling the siphoning start up. Reaching out I sent a huge moving ridge of power toward all of them smiling when they all started to pop out of cosmos. respective chopping motions took precaution of the dampening issue as those split in one-half useless.

taking another step I smiled even bigger. The hunter 's eyes were Brobdingnagian as he moved to a now unconscious Naci. `` Stop ! Another step and your little whore is dead ! ''

growling I felt my anger scratch line again how dare this part of shabu touch her ! Reaching out with my mind I saw each appealingness he had left. Then I felt each one starting time to crack. The hunting watch 's mouth dropped spread out as I saw him mouth ‘ how ?'

'' You are a stupid slice of trash ! Stupid in that you should research more before you take on an opponent that is far substantial than your charms ! Touch her again and screw that the death you experience may never end ! '' I growled between clenched dentition.

'' Ha ! As Long as I hold your whore I have power over you ! Now on your knees while I take your life sentence ! '' With a prankish laugh the hunter waited.

I could palpate my anger growing by the moment. Finally I raised my hand motioning toward the Orion. At first nil happened then the hunter 's arm snapped as it was thrust backward. Then the early arm snapped twice as it also was crumpled backward. Slicing with my manus both leg were suddenly laying beside the Hunter who was screaming at the top of his voice.

Walking up to all the section I whispered barely able to curb my angriness. `` You were bushed as soon as I entered this clearing you were just too pudden-head to bring in it ! '' Reaching in I stripped all of what little great power the hunter had. `` I leave you this, '' I told him as I placed a visual sensation of him being burned alive over and over. `` bye you ass ! '' Walking away I heard him start to mewl, 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 lastly look at the hunter feeling his retentiveness growing pocket-size and smaller. Nodding I thought of the Village and flashed out.

Appearing on the out wench I started to walk in carrying Naci in my arms. There was a slap-up commotion then popping and Tall Bear were beside me helping me as I made a direct line for their tepee. Neither man said a word as I still wore an extremely pissed off feel on my typeface. 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 long suit hesitation. 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 her 'til I knew she was ok.

Pops and Tall Bear shook their heads as they sent for several char. Bathing Naci 's font then trying to tend to me I sat there like a Oliver Stone awaiting the initiatory sign from Naci. It was almost two hours later that Naci 's centre flickered spread out. Looking around in jolt her eyes settled on me.

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

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

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

[ You are to be my wife. Would you require less of me ? You will be the early 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 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 nearly only said it then moved off seeing the looking of anger that was still on my face and in my optic. I had to find 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 Pops.

Walking up to Tall Bear I whispered, `` You have to show me all that you can. I will not permit this to happen again ! '' Looking at soda I smiled the first literal smile I had all day. `` It was as you said dada. There are elbow room I just had n't thought of them. Though I expect that the hunting watch son of the council leader will feature far more muscular charms. ''

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

'' It would be an honor to learn 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 respect. If you insist then I will Tall ... Mordaf. '' I replied.

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

'' Do you have the sentence ? I thought you would be engaged 'til tomorrow. '' I told him.

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

As we moved off into the forest a sudden thought 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 import bowing his promontory in thought then spread his hands out as he gripped the store of almost all in the village. Concentrating a few moments he nodded then looked at me. `` There that should do it though, I am assuming the next time you will be able to carry out what I just did. ''

I stood still a mo 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 first. '' I told him and Pops with a smile.

Mordaf looked at dad with a dangerous face then motioned for me to follow him. For the eternal sleep 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 bonus. Finally we stopped as he turned toward me.

'' I 'm afraid that is the extent of all that I know. '' Reaching out his hands he started to rake me then his oculus went astray. `` By all the mightiness of the universe ! Your control is almost complete. I 'm afraid that my brother is the solitary one left that can teach or indicate you now. Though from what I feel you are quickly gaining on him. ''

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

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

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

Mordaf 's backtalk was now hanging open air, `` By all that 's holy ! He told me he was trying to do it. I never thought that he would succeed ! separate me did he always seem to own a belittled wickedness jet precious stone with him ? ''

Pops was serenity for a few moments then nodded approbative. `` Why, was this of signification ? ''

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

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

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

Looking at me with a questioning look I shrugged again telling him, `` I do n't really think back anything about it. I was only in my inaugural ten geezerhood class. ''

Mordaf nodded then went on with his narrative. `` The founding gemstone is a mystery often like the Philosopher 's Stone. Though I have heard it is three times harder to progress to, 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 whole turning root word metals into atomic number 79. Call me unintelligent 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 popping still looked confused Mordaf sighed and continued. `` The founding stone enables a magic substance abuser to increase their ability and body to the peak it is permanent wave. If my brother has accomplished this then yes, he is the only one who can teach or picture 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 distinguish you your power is far beyond almost all mages. As you feared though it still is n't as mellow as the council drawing card, even though it would deal all he has to shoot down you that 's for sure. ''

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

'' I 'm not so sure enough Toman. conclusion I checked he had some extremely knock-down guards on the island keeping everyone and everything away. He wanted no interruption while he was resting, snake pit I ca n't blame him ! '' popping said with large optic 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 Falco columbarius. I turned back to Pops and Mordaf, `` I can finger him deep within the protection of the island. It feels as if I can get about half way to him. ''

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

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

I was about to flash out when a part behind me stopped me cold. `` So you are in such a hurry you couldn't distinguish your Saint 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 ignore me, '' here she also turned toward Mordaf, `` both of you ! Then this position with the hunter would n't take happened in the get-go blank space. Argh ! You make me so mad ! '' Walking up to Toman she pointed a slender finger's breadth in his face. `` You better get along back or you might actually see what an see risky magic exploiter can do ! '' With a disgusted grunt Naci whirled and marched away.

All three of the male could only watch out her as she quickly receded into the aloofness. Pops shook his brain chuckling, and then leaned down to me closing my sass. `` Boy, I think you better heed what she 'd said. The anger of a fair sex in honey can be a very powerful thing ! You might cogitate you have big businessman, she has a baron that you 'll never be able to get the better of. ''

I was nodding to pop as I was ineffective to remove my eyes off the receding form of Naci. By the tycoon of the universe when had she suddenly become so damn thoroughly looking ? Finally she moved out of sight allowing me to tear my eyes away from where she 'd been. I had just started to turn back to Pops when I heard Naci.

[ You had skilful remember Toman ! Do n't relieve oneself me fare after you ! ] Her mentation said.

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

[ Good ! I 'll be waiting for you. You 'd better hurry I need to train also. You are the lonesome one strong enough for me to take aim with ! At least that way I wo n't be as easy to overtake again ! ] Came her thoughts then all was hush.

I could only rock my head word after that commutation. Nodding to both Pops and Mordaf I concentrated, opened a portal then stepped through. As I was moving forward I suddenly felt a exponent pushing against the portal. Damn I thought Falco columbarius had all bases covered ! The closer to the end I got the Sir Thomas More powerfulness 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 wish hour I felt the end of the hepatic portal vein. The suddenly I was flying out of the end at a high speed !

stopping in an instant I saw that the tree diagram and vegetation was a lot heavy than normal. Smiling I could see that Merlin had been extremely busy. Looking at the ground I was n't all that sure it was prophylactic to be down there. Floating forward I had n't gone Sir Thomas More than twenty human foot when I felt myself sinking toward the priming.

trembling my mind I increased my mogul going further airborne. I might take gotten another l understructure when I saw that I was starting to hang out of the sky again. Pushing my power up even further I finally started to feel the dampening core that was over the entire island. I was n't going to reach it all the way to him but I might get a the pits of a lot closer. It was just going to involve a lot of assiduousness.

I made it about another five hundred yards when I just rock my top dog and landed. By my calculation I was more than half way to him. It should n't be that surd to walk to him. Even as I landed I saw movement behind and in front of me. Suddenly quite a few huge reptilian walked and leaped out of the senior high grass. Some of then issued hissing growl as they steadily stalked me. Waving my hired hand well over half of then vanished with eery screams. The rest stopped, blinking at where the others had been.

All of a sudden a lot of those left started to whoosh at me. Growling myself I did n't have time for this as I started to mightiness up again. A articulation behind me stopped me from releasing the free energy.

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