Ambrose and his party moved swiftly back into the boundaries of Tikal. As they approached the power and his men the 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 have abandoned us and our city. I assured them that you had a design to keep virtually of the city. It did n't help that you were gone as long as you were master. '' The world-beater told them.

Ambrose nodded then stood before them, `` as I said before I am here for a few Sir Thomas More of your days. I intend to pull through as many of the city as I can. If I could I would be here to engagement your opposition with you. I am afraid this I can not do, the others have program for this city. engagement and die well Warriors of the smashing metropolis of Tikal. ``

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

'' Skylos ?"Ambrose said when they were out of ear stroke of the queen and the warriors. `` Are we close up yet ? ``

'' Almost there sire, should n't be more than another specton or two. I have repaired all I can the ship 's automobile is finishing the rest. '' Skylos replied.

'' We need to get going as soon as possible. I might have gained us another half minton though I 'm not sure. 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 queasy to get going also. ``

Suddenly in the background Ambrose heard Twitty yelling, `` Skylos ! We have work to do ! I do not destine to stay on here the rest of my life story. Who are you talking to ? ``

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

'' Sire ? '' Ambrose heard Twitty shout. `` Mate, '' Twitty said as she snatched the com from Skylos. `` Unless you intend to stay here when this property is over run, please do n't upset our study again ! '' With that the com went idle as Ambrose started to laugh.

Turning back he spoke to Roth and the remainder of his knights. `` It appears that we are almost prepare to go again. If we can bar former prisonbreak downs we should barely have enough time to complete this. ``

All of them nodded as they ran to their placement, turning back toward the city St. Ambrose hoped they could get all of them. It was a one-quarter toton later that Skylos informed Ambrose that they were ready to go.

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

Ambrose 's eye went wide then he was nodding in accord with her. `` I see your level Adina, I am also glad that your phonation has finally returned. ``

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

Ambrose 's face held a look of shock then he bowed to Adina who gasped in surprise. `` I apologize for you having dubiousness first cousin. I 'll try to not do that again. ``

Adina was staring at Ambrose even harder it truly appeared as if he was telling the complete the true. Then a radiant smile lit upon her face. `` Thank you cousin, if you can reach 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 enceinte grinning on her typeface as she led Ambrose to a large clear orbit of the city. Looking around as they broke into the subject Ambrose could only gaze at Adina.

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

'' I thought you might match with me on this so I had the hoi polloi converge here. '' Adina told Ambrose.

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

turning St. Ambrose saw that Adina had another Brobdingnagian grinning glued to her typeface. `` By the great feline ! You are such a potent speaker. I am so happy that you will direct the land. ``

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

'' I remember, though as you pointed out each time you use it, the next fourth dimension you are stronger. Besides, '' here she paused, `` you wo n't be doing More than one thing like end prison term. '' Then almost in a whisper she said. `` I pray to the great feline you are n't required nor have to. ``

St. Ambrose 's center went astray then he nodded agreement. `` I am hoping also cousin ; I personally do n't want to expire before I can do any full. ``

Adina 's face was shocked then it held anger as she spit, `` Do n't joke about that first cousin ! You are far hard than father was, you 'll make it ; that I am sure as shooting of. '' Then she sided up to Ambrose purring, rubbing her human face on his manus. `` We all have to hold out, you Sir Thomas More than the rest of us. ``

Ambrose watched her for a import then pulled his had back pulling her nerve up. `` We are all just as important, remember that. I do n't want to think that I 'll take in to punish you when this is done. ``

A look of shock registered on Adina 's face, `` Punishment ? What are you talking about cousin ? ``

'' I learned of it while I was on worldly concern though somewhat primitive, this seemed quite good. '' Saint Ambrose told her.

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

'' It was called a spanking though rude I did n't ascertain it barbaric at all. Quite the more, at times even sexual, '' Ambrose replied a huge smile on his face.

Adina still unsure pressed on, `` So this punishment was a normal thing for all on terra firma ? ``

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

'' cousin-german ! I am no shaver I ... '' Adina started.

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

Adina 's sass dropped open as her oculus narrowed looking at her brother then flitting quickly to Ambrose. `` You would n't dare ! I am over eighteen summers you therefore have no rectify even as king of our humanity ! ``

'' In that regard you are mightily though as king of the region, our cousin has Thomas More than the right. Besides, '' here Typree 's font held a diabolic grin."You really do deserve it ! ``

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

Ambrose had heard enough as he swiftly had Adina over his lap, pounding his planate paw on her hind poop. Typree had started to chuckle 'til Ambrose sent him a feeling that almost made his blood freeze.

Finally finished Ambrose stood Adina growling at her. `` You are a princess of the realm. It 's about time you started acting like it ! You ca n't hold back carrying on like the little baby that you once were. ``

Adina more abashed than scathe lowered her head word split falling from her eyes softly growled, `` I will remember first cousin, my king. '' Rubbing her hind end she swiftly made her way away from the others.

Standing Ambrose turned toward Typree growling he said, `` Had I not stopped you she might have committed a criminal offence that I 'd have to severely penalize her for. You also are no longer a youngster cousin ; you also need to withdraw a mate. Alone the line can not continue, and I for one do not desire another competition to place another on the throne. I might have to vote down them all. ``

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

Ambrose 's face broke out in a big smiling as he stated. `` I think she wo n't be a job much longer. Take what I said to middle, find a match when we return or would you favour I find you one ? ``

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

St. Ambrose clapped his mitt on his cousin 's cover, `` It will have thing far well-heeled though at clock time 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. `` cousin you have fellow yet you have n't mated yet ? By the heavy feline no admiration you are spoil ! ``

'' As I said cousin there is far too a great deal to do at the moment to contemplate such affair. Plus there is a traitor out there that needs to die as soon as possible ! '' Ambrose said as he growled swiping at a stone wall taking a large chunk out of it as his cat material body slipped to the surface.

Typree was agreeing his optic all-encompassing when he saw his cousin lose ascendancy a moment. `` We 'll get him cousin, we 'll get him. ``

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

It was a grueling two days later as Ambrose awoke to the ship landing. At the concluding count they had finally gotten l two hundred the first day with all the stamping ground that had delayed them. These close two had Ambrose feeling better. As of this trip they had moved twenty eight thousand, five hundred forty. Saint Ambrose could feel almost one-half of what had felt wrong finally slipping where it should be.

With a sigh Ambrose watched another freight of people move onto the ship. They had almost one-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 terminal few thousand were going to have a few days to wait before they had any more.

Shaking his head he hated not using his line of descent nor his cousins. As he remembered his family was the only ones he knew of that had these endowment as Adina had said, or swearword as Typree had said. intellection of Adina he 'd not seen much of her since her 'lesson'had occurred. Nothing more than an appearing each fourth dimension ; she appeared to be exhausted as she rendered aid to those still there.

All of his knight had told him that the surrounding armies had withdrawn a bit after his sojourn to them. ‘ Good,'Ambrose thought, ‘ no want to kill those that kept their word.'Then his thoughts turned to his two uncles as his blood pounded. To imagine that they were as jealous as they were.

This time it was Skylos that was backing away as he saw Ambrose manakin slip into his cat form his long chela scarring the thug inner wall of the ship. Shaking his headway he knew the Rex was strong though not this strong.

By the end of the third day Ambrose could see that the survival of everyone was starting to jade fragile. They had just finished with their hold up consignment for that day. Saint Ambrose nodded he could see the fatigue on all of their faces. This was going far beyond tariff. They all knew what was at stake plus their gumption of superbia was also pushing them on.

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

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

< I am still here brother ; I am trying to keep 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 weary thoughts.

Saint Ambrose smiled as more people started to move onboard. < I am lofty of you cousin your actions make me proud as I am sure as shooting they would your mother and father. You are worthy of the statute title of princess, perhaps more. > ''

A happy gasp from Adina made Ambrose grin more. < What are you ... > Adina started.

< I said perhaps after all this is over. > Ambrose told her expecting her to question more. Un-expectantly she told him give thanks you then was quiet. ‘ My, my,'Saint Ambrose thought, ‘ perhaps I should have spanked her sooner.'

'' Cousin, '' Ambrose spoke into the com again. `` We need to have got more rest between shifts with everyone. None of us will be any good if we crash because we are half at rest. I want all crews to divide in one-half, at least eight hours of rest and sleep. ``

'' Good maybe they will be calmer now. Every one of them are as cranky as if they had their felid catnap disturbed. I 'll assure 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 start I feel we 've got most of them. '' St. Ambrose relayed.

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

'' I 'm afraid so, from all I read of this metre of a city of 100,000 almost half died from a occult factor. Then a few weeks later Tikal was attacked all its warriors defeated falling in the battle. The victors moved into an empty city, it almost made them flee the unharmed urban center having a ghostly feeling to it. '' Ambrose told of the history he 'd learned.

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

'' It 's not over yet cousin, we still have a day and at least another 11,000 hoi polloi 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 citizenry I feel that are still missing. One of them is in our category I am afraid. ``

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

'' No, I have been over the class story many times, but I ca n't find an answer. '' Saint Ambrose told his cousin.

The last day they worked as severe and fast as they could. Finally the hold up of those that were to go were on display panel. Everything felt like it should, or rather should have. Skylos was about to close down the hachure when Ambrose stepped outside.

'' Sire ? Should I hold ? '' Skylos asked.

'' Something does n't finger right. I need to go in the city, have the former two launch I want you in the air, but low orbit. I 'll call you in a few spectons. '' St. Ambrose replied.

'' Alright forefather, though how I am going to hold back your mates and knights equanimity is beyond me. '' Skylos advised Ambrose.

Ambrose nodded as the crosshatch closed and the ship took to the sky. Running as fast as he could Ambrose began to search every edifice then groaned. It would take all day even with his speed. Changing to his full feline chassis Ambrose reached out hoping that he was correct about his power. At first he growled when he felt nothing then took off at full focal ratio to the early face of the city.

On the far side of the city he found a pocket-sized aliveness structure. What he was feeling was inside. Bursting through the entrance way he stopped short when he saw the small-scale slight girl curled up asleep.

Walking to her Saint Ambrose gently shook the girl whose eyes snapped open. `` OOOOO a big jackpot ! '' The lilliputian girl exclaimed throwing her arms around Ambrose 's neck.

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

'' I was tired so I came home to demand a nap. I 'm good-for-naught mister pussy, can I still go ? I wo n't be bad. '' The slight girl told Ambrose her boastfully heart filling with tears.

'' Oh my dear you have to go. '' Ambrose told her as he scooped her up running out of the edifice toward the early incline of the city. Already he could learn the close speech sound of fight. Increasing his stop number he called Skylos.

'' Mate ! Do n't you ever do this again ! '' He heard the aggravate voices of Twitty and Glenna.

Skylos set down as Saint Ambrose approached on a run. A welcoming committee was there lifting him and the little young woman on board.

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

'' What was so authoritative 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 ? '' Saint Ambrose asked.

Both female person softened as they looked at the minor then they both shook their psyche no.

'' She, '' Saint Ambrose said taking a big breath, `` is the female half of the first of my crime syndicate. Timora 's son and here are the very offset of my mob. So you see I could n't just go out her. ``

All of his horse, paladins plus both his mates gasped. `` Sire you mean to secernate me that little girl is the first fag Kindra ? '' Philip Roth said almost spell out bound.

Ambrose could only smile at the expression of shock on all their faces
