St. Ambrose and his party moved swiftly back into the boundary of Tikal. As they approached the king and his men the B. B. King breathed a sigh of relief.

'' We are glad to see you back amongst us Lord. Many of the men were afraid that you might induce abandoned us and our city. I assured them that you had a plan to lay aside most of the metropolis. It did n't help that you were gone as long as you were Lord. '' The king told them.

Ambrose nodded then stood before them, `` as I said before I am here for a few More of your Clarence Shepard Day Jr.. I intend to save as many of the city as I can. If I could I would be here to engagement your enemies with you. I am afraid this I can not do, the others have plans for this urban center. combat and die well Warriors of the great city of Tikal. ``

A great sunniness went up from all those there as they started to chant Cit-Chac-Coh as Saint Ambrose and his company moved off toward the metropolis it 's self.

'' Skylos ?"Ambrose said when they were out of ear shot of the king and the warriors. `` Are we tightlipped yet ? ``

'' Almost there forefather, should n't be Sir Thomas More than another specton or two. I have repaired all I can the ship 's auto is finishing the relaxation. '' Skylos replied.

'' We need to get going as soon as possible. I might have gained us another one-half minton though I 'm not certainly. I 'll be glad to be moving them again. '' Saint Ambrose told Skylos.

'' Yes sire I understand, '' Skylos said then there was a hissing coming from further back from the com. `` I have to go it appears that the others are anxious to get going also. ``

Suddenly in the screen background Ambrose heard Twitty shouting, `` Skylos ! We have work to do ! I do not intend to stay here the rest of my lifetime. Who are you talking to ? ``

'' As I said sire I have to go. '' Skylos replied.

'' forefather ? '' St. Ambrose heard Twitty yell. `` Mate, '' Twitty said as she snatched the com from Skylos. `` Unless you intend to stay here when this topographic point is over run, please do n't raise up our work again ! '' With that the com went abruptly as Saint Ambrose started to laugh.

turning back he spoke to Roth and the quietus of his knight. `` It appears that we are almost ready to go again. If we can bar other dampen downs we should barely have enough time to nail this. ``

All of them nodded as they ran to their emplacement, turning back toward the metropolis Ambrose hoped they could get all of them. It was a quarter toton later that Skylos informed Ambrose that they were set to go.

A moment later Adina walked up to Saint Ambrose, `` Cousin I know that you feel that the people would be calmer if you went. I am feeling that there is a great unrest with those that are staying and waiting. Perhaps you should speak to them. I am sure those that are going can send Hippacamp back. ``

Ambrose 's eyes went wide then he was nodding in arrangement with her. `` I see your point Adina, I am also glad that your articulation has finally returned. ``

Adina was eyeing Saint Ambrose with her eyes narrowed not sure if she could believe him or not. `` I am glad also cousin, though I am not sure if I can truly trust you. I know you are not like my brother though you are a male. Please forgive me you are different yet it is unvoiced to believe that you are that different. ``

St. Ambrose 's cheek held a facial expression of shock then he bowed to Adina who gasped in surprise. `` I apologize for you having question cousin-german. I 'll try to not do that again. ``

Adina was staring at Saint Ambrose even harder it truly appeared as if he was telling the complete truth. Then a radiant smile lit upon her face. `` Thank you cousin, if you can attain that then I will do everything for you I can, always. ``

Ambrose could only nod at her after her declaration. `` Thank you cousin, as I said I will do all I can to not give you doubts again. ``

Adina was nodding with a expectant smile on her face as she led Ambrose to a with child clear area of the urban center. Looking around as they broke into the open St. Ambrose could only stare at Adina.

'' What is this ? '' Ambrose said indicating the huge throng of hoi polloi that were waiting there.

'' I thought you might harmonize with me on this so I had the people converge here. '' Adina told Ambrose.

Still hardly believing his eyes Saint Ambrose thought for a few moments. `` Good multitude of Tikal. I know you feel better when I travel with you. I also know that many who are here still have fright. I will soon send Hippacamp to help allay your fears. '' A mighty roar went up as Saint Ambrose nodded to all there.

turn Ambrose saw that Adina had another immense smile glued to her nerve. `` By the great feline ! You are such a powerful speaker. I am so glad that you will lead the realm. ``

Sighing Ambrose nodded then said, `` I hope that I will, we first have to return. As you remember the last time this almost drained me. ``

'' I remember, though as you pointed out each fourth dimension you use it, the next time you are unassailable. Besides, '' here she paused, `` you wo n't be doing more than one matter like end time. '' Then almost in a rustling she said. `` I pray to the smashing feline you are n't required nor have to. ``

Ambrose 's eye went across-the-board then he nodded agreement. `` I am hoping also cousin ; I personally do n't need to expire before I can do any commodity. ``

Adina 's case was shocked then it held anger as she spit, `` Do n't jest about that cousin ! You are far stronger than father was, you 'll make it ; that I am certainly of. '' Then she sided up to Ambrose purring, rubbing her nerve on his hand. `` We all have to subsist, you more than the rest of us. ``

St. Ambrose watched her for a moment then pulled his had back pulling her fount up. `` We are all just as important, remember that. I do n't need to imagine that I 'll ingest to penalize you when this is done. ``

A expression of electric shock registered on Adina 's face, `` penalization ? What are you talking about first cousin ? ``

'' I learned of it while I was on earth though somewhat rude, this seemed quite effective. '' Ambrose told her.

'' primitive ? You mean barbaric what was this punishment called ? '' Adina smirked as she replied.

'' It was called a spanking though crude I did n't find it savage at all. Quite the more, at times even intimate, '' Ambrose replied a immense smile on his face.

Adina still unsure pressed on, `` So this penalty was a normal affair for all on Earth ? ``

Here Saint Ambrose smiled wider, `` No it seemed to be reserved more for misbehaving nestling. '' Ambrose 's oculus then looked more intensely at Adina.

'' first cousin ! I am no youngster I ... '' Adina started.

Another vocalisation came from behind both of them startling Adina, `` Hmmmm cousin a p'uchik might do well in this case. '' The vox of Typree said.

Adina 's rima oris dropped undetermined as her eyes narrowed looking at her brother then flitting quickly to Saint Ambrose. `` You would n't make bold ! I am over eighteen summers you therefore have no right even as male monarch of our world ! ``

'' In that respect you are right though as king of the land, our cousin has more than the rightfield. Besides, '' here Typree 's side held a devilish smiling."You really do deserve it ! ``

Adina 's teeth bared as she growled at first her pal then Ambrose. `` I do not merit such ... ''

Ambrose had heard enough as he swiftly had Adina over his lap, pounding his flattened paw on her hind quarters. Typree had started to laugh softly 'til Ambrose sent him a look that almost made his blood freeze.

Finally finished St. Ambrose stood Adina growling at her. `` You are a princess of the land. It 's about metre you started acting like it ! You ca n't keep carrying on like the little child that you once were. ``

Adina more embarrassed than scathe lowered her head tears falling from her optic softly growled, `` I will call back cousin, my Martin Luther King. '' Rubbing her hind end she swiftly made her way away from the others.

Standing Saint Ambrose turned toward Typree growling he said, `` Had I not stopped you she might deliver committed a crime that I 'd own to severely punish her for. You also are no longer a child full cousin ; you also need to lead a spouse. Alone the telephone line can not continue, and I for one do not want another competition to place another on the can. I might make to stamp out them all. ``

Typree gulped as all that his cousin had said was genuine. `` What of Adina ? It has been a full-of-the-moon time job with her AND the kingdom. ``

Ambrose 's fount broke out in a large smile as he stated. `` I think she wo n't be a problem much longer. postulate what I said to middle, notice a Ilex paraguariensis when we return or would you favor I find you one ? ``

'' NO ! '' Typree quickly shouted shaking remembering days ago when Ambrose had found him a female person. Still shaking he replied, `` I 'll begin as soon as I return. '' Typree said with a sigh.

Saint Ambrose clapped his hand on his cousin 's back, `` It will make things far easier though at times far more complicated. I am sure I 'll be finding that out as soon as all of this is over. Having a match is much like an irritating sister only there are more benefits. ``

Typree was nodding then looked at his cousin with a strange look. `` full cousin you have mates yet you have n't mated yet ? By the enceinte felid no admiration you are frustrated ! ``

'' As I said cousin there is far too much to do at the moment to mull such things. Plus there is a double-crosser out there that needs to die as soon as possible ! '' Ambrose said as he growled swiping at a stone wall taking a great ball out of it as his cat form slipped to the surface.

Typree was agreeing his eyes full when he saw his cousin lose command a instant. `` We 'll get him cousin, we 'll get him. ``

Both headed toward their ships as Saint Ambrose could see they were almost ready to go.

It was a grueling two days later as St. Ambrose awoke to the ship landing. At the last count they had finally gotten fifty two hundred the first day with all the mending that had delayed them. These death two had Ambrose feeling better. As of this stumble they had moved twenty eight thousand, five hundred forty. Ambrose could find almost half of what had felt untimely finally slipping where it should be.

With a sigh Ambrose watched another load of mass move onto the ship. They had almost half of those were left in the city. So many had died before they 'd arrived, looking at his arm he just hoped that they had enough blood to help all of them. The last few thousand were going to feature a few Day to wait before they had any more.

Shaking his head he hated not using his rakehell nor his full cousin. As he remembered his family was the lone unity he knew of that had these natural endowment as Adina had said, or expletive as Typree had said. Thinking of Adina he 'd not seen much of her since her 'lesson'had occurred. Nothing more than an visual aspect each clip ; she appeared to be exhausted as she rendered aid to those still there.

All of his knights had told him that the surrounding armies had withdrawn a bit after his sojourn to them. ‘ near,'Saint Ambrose thought, ‘ no motivation to kill those that kept their word.'Then his sentiment turned to his two uncles as his blood pounded. To recollect that they were as envious as they were.

This meter it was Skylos that was backing away as he saw Saint Ambrose form slip into his cat form his yearn hook scarring the tough inner wall of the ship. Shaking his head he knew the Riley B King was strong though not this strong.

By the end of the third day St. Ambrose could see that the endurance of everyone was starting to wear thin. They had just finished with their last lading for that day. Ambrose nodded he could see the tiredness on all of their faces. This was going far beyond duty. They all knew what was at interest plus their common sense of pride was also pushing them on.

Grabbing his com Ambrose contacted his cousin, `` Cousin ? We have to finish this soon. ``

'' We will cousin ; I just hope we have enough of them to build a dispute. '' Typree answered. `` By the way have you see Adina ? > I have n't heard from her in a few years most odd. I ... ''

< I am still here brother ; I am trying to go on all those still here calm. They are worried that they will die with no chance to go. I have been assuring them that they will not be left, that Cit-Chac-Coh would not allow that to happen. > Came Adina 's tired thoughts.

Ambrose smiled as more people started to affect onboard. < I am proud of you cousin your natural process make me lofty as I am sure they would your female parent and founding father. You are desirable of the title of princess, perhaps more. > ''

A felicitous gasp from Adina made Ambrose smile more. < What are you ... > Adina started.

< I said perhaps after all this is over. > St. Ambrose told her expecting her to interview more. Un-expectantly she told him thank you then was quiet. ‘ My, my,'Ambrose thought, ‘ perhaps I should accept spanked her sooner.'

'' Cousin, '' Ambrose spoke into the com again. `` We need to stimulate more than balance between switching with everyone. None of us will be any skilful if we crash because we are half benumbed. I want all bunch to carve up in half, at least eight time of day of rest and sleep. ``

'' secure maybe they will be calmer now. Every one of them are as techy as if they had their feline short sleep disturbed. I 'll recite them at once, they 'll obey knowing that you have ordered it. '' Typree advised Ambrose.

'' Good, I estimate we 've moved 39,760 with all that died at the jump I feel we 've got near of them. '' Ambrose relayed.

Typree sucked in his breathing spell. `` There were that many who died ? ``

'' I 'm afraid so, from all I read of this time of a city of 100,000 almost one-half died from a mysterious element. Then a few weeks later Tikal was attacked all its warriors defeated falling in the fight. The victor moved into an empty city, it almost made them flee the unhurt metropolis having a ghostly flavour to it. '' Ambrose told of the chronicle he 'd learned.

'' I may not have said it Sire but I am proud to be capable to help bring about the beginning of our people. '' Typree told his cousin.

'' It 's not over yet cousin, we still have a day and at to the lowest degree another 11,000 people to go. We have returned a great many things to how I feel they should be. Well over seventy five percentage now though there are a few important people I feel that are still missing. One of them is in our family I am afraid. ``

Ambrose heard the gasp at the other end, `` You still do n't cognise who cousin ? ``

'' No, I have been over the house history many meter, but I ca n't find an answer. '' Saint Ambrose told his cousin.

The survive day they worked as concentrated and fast as they could. Finally the last of those that were to go were on board. Everything felt like it should, or rather should have. Skylos was about to close the hatch when Ambrose stepped outside.

'' forefather ? Should I adjudge ? '' Skylos asked.

'' Something does n't feel right. I need to go in the city, have the other two launch I want you in the air, but low domain. I 'll promise you in a few spectons. '' Saint Ambrose replied.

'' Alright sire, though how I am going to keep your mates and knights calm air is beyond me. '' Skylos advised Ambrose.

St. Ambrose nodded as the crosshatch closed and the ship took to the sky. Running as fast as he could Ambrose began to search every building then groaned. It would hold all day even with his speed. Changing to his full moon feline form Saint Ambrose reached out hoping that he was correct about his ability. At first-class honours degree he growled when he felt zip then took off at full speed to the other side of the city.

On the far side of the urban center he found a small living social organization. What he was feeling was inside. Bursting through the entrance way he stopped short when he saw the humble little girl curled up asleep.

Walking to her Ambrose gently shook the lady friend whose eyes snapped open. `` OOOOO a big kitty ! '' The little girl exclaimed throwing her arms around Ambrose 's neck.

'' Why are you here ? You should be with the others going to the new place. '' Ambrose told her.

'' I was tired so I came home base to pick out a nap. I 'm sorry mister pussycat, can I still go ? I wo n't be bad. '' The short little girl told Saint Ambrose her large eyes filling with tears.

'' Oh my dear you have to go. '' St. Ambrose told her as he scooped her up running out of the building toward the other side of the urban center. Already he could try the close speech sound of battle. Increasing his hurrying he called Skylos.

'' partner ! Do n't you ever do this again ! '' He heard the aggravated part of Twitty and Glenna.

Skylos set down as Ambrose approached on a run. A welcoming citizens committee was there lifting him and the piffling young lady on board.

Twitty and Glenna had their arms crossed staring at Saint Ambrose as he got aboard. With the hatch closed they made for space.

'' What was so important that you had to go back ? '' They both growled at him.

'' I take it neither of you recognize the little girl I brought back with me ? '' Ambrose asked.

Both female person softened as they looked at the baby then they both shook their head no.

'' She, '' Ambrose said taking a big breath, `` is the female half of the first of my family line. Timora 's son and here are the very first of my family. So you see I could n't just allow her. ``

All of his knights, paladins plus both his mates gasped. `` Sire you mean to tell me that piffling girl is the first of all female monarch Kindra ? '' Roth said almost piece bound.

St. Ambrose could only smile at the looks of shock on all their faces
