Ben appeared in a especial room that had been prepared ten old age ago for Jonathan, sighing Ben thought all this fourth dimension, this would cause been over a decade ago if Jonathan was n't as refractory as Ben 's brother had been. Checking the boy, Ben was sure he was still out, but shaking his straits he was n't certain they had that a great deal time Jonathan was far stronger than he at first appeared. Finally the relief of the council appeared sealing the room, Ben actually crossed his fingers laughing at his human wise-tale, but hey anything that worked. Sure enough not ten minutes later Jonathan awoke wearing a smell of shock which quickly turned to a snarling rage.

'' You really think you can take hold me Ben ? Though I have to admit, this is indeed a good ambuscade you obviously do n't realize just how strong my power has grown. ``

Ben only nodded almost afraid to talk, the boy was good no one really realized except him, turning he advised the council of this. Almost immediately they increased the powerfulness of the room, Jonathan could only smile at to the lowest degree they were taking this seriously. Jonathan sat in the substance of the way and closed his eyes, Ben was n't fooled and told the council they needed to look sharp, the boy was building up. For an hour the council took readings learning far Sir Thomas More than they had in innumerable 100 before. From all they got almost anyone could access the unfounded deception, with a serious quantity of density, Jonathan needed nothing like that as it came to him naturally. The only trouble with the untamed illusion was it often burned out the user 's mind with over use and no control. As Ben suspected Jonathan had almost consummate control over it, learning the ringlet over the finish few hundred years.

spine at the living Lana was finally on her metrical unit, getting make to leave she was stopped at the door by a smirking Trina, `` I have to go home, I have to find Jonathan ! '' Lana said as she tried to proceed past Trina.

'' I 'm afraid I ca n't let you go Lana, if what female parent and I felt is on-key you 'll have to stay human for a while longer ! '' Trina exclaimed excited.

'' Huh ? '' Lana started, `` what are you talking about ? ``

With a vast grin Trina placed a hired hand on Lana 's stomach, `` I 'm talking about this here, '' Trina gently massaged Lana 's venter. `` We ca n't stimulate you hurting yourself, plus you need to outride human for at least a week. ``

Lana still confused could only stare at her best admirer Trina, still it had n't dawned on her what Trina meant.

'' I think what she means Lana my dear, is that you are pregnant, '' came a voice behind both of the women.

Still wearing a tone of confusion it slowly dawned on Lana, just what the voice had said. Then a sly and truly glad smile began to overspread across her face.

'' He warned me that I might be, I had n't thought of it at the time but if I am then I can truly be happy. '' Lana said almost in a whisper. `` I have to order my mother ! She has to jazz ! I have to go and ... ''

'' I can tell her Lana, '' Evelyn said walking up behind Lana, `` you need to rest, the next few weeks are going to be hard on you. ``

Lana just nodded going back to the bed, an even bigger grin on her face, she was carrying Jonathan 's baby !

peeress Vishnew was going over finances, she 'd missed her daughter the survive ten years she 'd just closed her book of account when she received a thought.

< Vish ? It 's Evelyn. > Came the thought.

< Yes Evelyn, is everything well there ? > Lady Vishnew replied.

< I need you to come over here I can contribute you but it must be just you that knows, do n't say Vidon. > Evelyn instructed.

< spring me an hour then contact me, > Lady Vishnew said.

It was barely an 60 minutes later that lady Vishnew appeared in the room with Evelyn and Trina Timmins, and someone on the bed. gentlewoman Vishnew 's mouth dropped open, Lana ! Throwing her arms around her girl avowedly tear of happiness began to flow from her eye teardrop that been held back for over ten years now.

Evelyn and Trina left the elbow room ; it was more Lana 's place to tell her mother than them. They 'd only been in the hallway for a few minutes when they heard lady Vishnew call, looking in they saw that Lana and her mother were hugging fiercely. Lana 's female parent 's side held a myriad of emotions ranging from electrical shock and incredulity to absolute joy and happiness. Lana on the other hand was smirking though she had n't planned on it, she was gladiola for what she and Jonathan had done on the island, now she just needed him back in her arms.

Tom had felt Evelyn pull noblewoman Vishnew over to the hold though he did n't know why he was indisputable they were up to no sound. If Tom had learned one thing in over a thousand years, it was to not poke too far into what his wife was doing, that is unless it involved their children.

Tom was at his wits end he 'd tried to get hold of the council, and all but one of them were unavailable. The one elder had hurried him along seemingly too busy to engage in conversation for long. Then there was his Uncle Ben, he 'd been there not long after Jonathan had disappeared then pansy ! He too had seemed to swing off the dry land. Just what in the netherworld was going on ? Why was Tom afraid that it all had something to do with his outlaw son ? Shaking his head he walked his territory, no sense going to the keep not with all the woman there, probably get another supercilium beating by his wife about sticking his nose into female byplay again. Growling he felt like something incredibly authoritative was about to hap and everyone was purposely keeping all information about it a privy from him. Walking to the outer most boundary he opened the sealed vault that he knew of, now that Jonathan had found one C of years ago. Walking to the huge capsule he laid the opus of the Rinora crystal within it, sighing he looked over at the other four. It was a good thing Jonathan had only gotten the Rinora. It was the least powerful of the five, well four now though the security measure had to be increased so that no one else could liberate any of the others. Looking them over he remembered the capture of all of them when he was a boy. The big he stopped at, it 's massive security Tom never felt was enough it had decimated the full council. A good many Mages had died that day, Tom remembered it was his grandfather 's ritual killing that had sealed the gross evil of the crystal. He could still see his granddad telling him to guard them well and what spells to use, then the tears falling from his eyes his grandfather had sent him away, horrified Tom watched his grandfather die. The old man had been consumed then it was all quiet, doing as his grandfather had instructed he 'd varnish the lechatelierite, then each in play as it was gathered. It still eat away at Tom that he could n't bear done More to help, he 'd loved his grandfather his own father destroyed by several lamia tribe right before he 'd been born. Tom had to inquire if that was why he was so dead set against his son ? All the horror he 'd seen from the insult of power was that why he was so afraid ?

Locking up, Tom was heading back towards the keep when he felt a fellow feeling one he 'd missed in the last few hundred years. `` Hello Vidon, what brings you out tonight ? '' Tom said to the darkness.

'' Damn it Tom, you could give a lamia a complex if it were possible, I take it you felt Vishnew at your keep ? '' Lord Vidon replied.

'' Yes, '' Tom sighed, `` I decided it was time to check protection, before something like ten age ago happens again. Besides I have n't won a single tilt with Evelyn in over 1000 years, I do n't recollect I am going to suddenly start tonight. ``

Lord Vidon chuckled slapping Tom on the shoulder, `` Ah my friend ! I too am in the same predicament, ma'am Vishnew seems to have an answer for every question I have to ask her. Infuriatingly as it is she always seems to shit more sense. ``

Here Lord Vidon thought a moment, `` Well almost everything, the Triog wars 1000 years ago, I decided to not listen to her, had I, none of us would have been here now. ``

'' I know the feeling, '' Tom said, `` It was the Lapp during the Mage war 1200 long time ago I had to go but Evelyn insisted that I stay, it was war, and I could n't, though I tell you, it damn near killed her ! '' God Almighty Vidon nodded, `` Yes, if I remember right, Vishnew told me that if I were to be destroyed she 'd no longer be able to go on. I miss the old twenty-four hours when loyalty was far more crucial than anything else. ``

'' It 's this new public that they discovered in America, it has given exemption to the pot, they feel they no longer have need of us it 's a shame though the power that we wield will still be there just not believed in as much. '' Lord Vidon answered.

'' I think it will always be those with the money that will always let the index, I do n't see that changing any time soon. '' Tom said.

'' My son especially, unusual affair I ca n't contact the Mage council. '' Tom told master Vidon.

'' Strangely enough the vampire council has also been indisposed the last two days, strange matter happening in these foreign clock time my ally. '' Lord Vidon said. `` Since my donjon has none of the female presence at the present time what say you and I retire there 'til such time as the female person decide that they have need of us again eh ? ``

Tom 's oculus lit up he always loved to go to Vidon 's keep, the history there was somewhat older than that at his keep. `` Uh, '' Tom started, `` you would n't still experience that 500 year old scotch would you ? ``

'' For you Tom, I think we can break out the 700 year old ! '' Lord Vidon replied.

walk off neither saw the Young boy take off for the keep. Reaching the front door the boy ran all the way up the stairs to Evelyn. `` I saw them both dame Evelyn ! '' The boy exclaimed out of breath from running, `` They were both heading to Lord Vidon 's sustenance. '' Leaning close he whispered, `` They were talking about drinking old stuff called scotch ! ``

Thanking the boy Evelyn walked into the room to tell Lady Vishnew.

'' Oh beloved ! '' Lady Vishnew laughed, `` It appears that our married man feel as if we no long want them ! ``

'' What make you say that ? '' Evelyn asked.

'' Why my dearest they are both human and they 're going to get drunk. think back the conclusion time they pulled this ? '' madam Vishnew asked.

Evelyn 's middle got huge, `` the Triog wars ! I believe not long after Tom discovered that they were both human around each early. I also remember they were drunk for well over a week ! Ugh ! I also remember the smell ! Vish we have to stop this ! ``

'' How do you purpose we do that ? Remember the last time ? We both ended up fraught, grim but I am far too old to be that way again ! '' Lady Vishnew said.

'' Oh hell ! '' Evelyn cried, and then laughed herself, `` You are so mighty ! Something motivation to be done though, I do n't call back I 'll ever get that smell out of my mind ! ``

'' I might throw an melodic theme for that, though I 'm going to necessitate your help. We 'll have to wait 'til they pass out a patch before we do it though. ``

Two days later both Godhead Vidon and Tom Timmings awoke both sporting hellacious knack overs, looking down at themselves then at each other, they both started to laugh. They were both were sitting on various sheets that were in fact all around them, plus the fact that they were both stark naked did goose egg to discourage the laughter. They 'd both just sat up reaching for another bottle when there was an enormous burst off in the distance.

Both stumbled out the door holding their heads and stomachs, looking to the westward they both saw the huge pillar of dope rising from what Tom saw was near the council headquarters.

Lady Vishnew and Evelyn were feeling pretty good, the design they 'd carried out would at least insure that the keep would n't sense like a brewery or worse a drinking club that their hubby had frequented before. They were just sitting to bear tea when up step they heard Lana screaming at the top of her vocalism. Rushing to her room it was taking all the four cleaning woman in the room could do to hold her in bed.

'' NO ! NO JONATHAN ! DON '' T DO IT ! PLEASE ! '' She was screaming over and over. Then there was a sudden explosion W of the keep. `` NO JONATHAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ``

Then Lana was unconscious mind, Evelyn started to finger a huge mightiness moving toward them. Oh my god ! It was Jonathan ! His power was huge many, many multiplication with child than the other day when he brought Lana to the keep .'I have to save her good ,'Evelyn thought, quickly she changed Lana everything about her Jonathan was n't the only mage that could do a wipe. Grabbing noblewoman Vishnew and Lana ; Evelyn flashed them both to a low shack between both of the keeps.

Tom and Vidon watched as something streaked over head heading to Tom 's keep. Thanking Vidon, Tom started to stumble toward his keep, though they both felt they were n't wanted any more Tom still felt he had to protect the fair sex of the kinsfolk. Just out of site of Vidon 's keep he felt his power start to return, flashing quickly to the sustenance, he found no sign of his son, wife nor Godhead Vidon 's wife. Now what the hell was going on ? It had felt like Jonathan flashing over but he had n't felt him leave. Searching the hold he found his girl hiding in a nook a look of brat on her face.

'' Trina ! '' Tom yelled getting no reply from her, he turned her nerve to his.

Tears were streaming from her eyes. `` Daddy ? '' she sobbed out. `` We have to avail Jonathan he is so tempestuous, I 've never seen such fury as he had on his face. Please Daddy, I know you are mad at him but you have to aid him, you are the solely one who can. You have the ability in you, Rebel told me you did just like grandpa. Please pappa, you have to, if you do n't it will kill him, he is willing to die rather than bruise anyone else. ``

NO ! Thought Tom not again ! Sighing he knew what he had to do but was n't sure enough he could, he 'd suppressed the power for so long. It had taken a hanker clock time to gain the control he had, it took almost dying to earn it.

'' I 'll do what I can but I 'm not indisputable I can anymore, I shut it off so long ago. '' Tom said almost in a whisper.

It meant exposing his secret that he 'd hidden for well over a thousand years, exposing himself to the ridicule and shame that he suffered all those hundred ago. Trina looked up at her father he was the but Hope for them all.

Tom sighed and flashed out to where the council headquarters was, that was the definitive word was. There was n't much but rubble, fire, and a lot of gouged land. Reaching out Tom began to finger the council member, several were badly hurt, but at to the lowest degree they were awake. Taking a deep hint Tom reached in as deep as he could, feeling the endless well of baron that was there. Slowly he brought it out 'til he felt it was enough then simply made a sweeping gesture and the debris was gone.

Ben 's rima oris dropped open he 'd never seen his nephew display that kind of power. With one paw Tom lifted all the council out of the debris line of business, with the other he waved his hired man and the edifice was unharmed and complete again.

'' Yes Ben I have it also, I have n't used it in over 1000 eld. '' Tom said.

Ben limped to Tom looked him in the eye, `` You 've had this much control of the state of nature legerdemain and you did n't think to help your son ? ! '' Shaking his promontory Ben punched his Nephew in the face. `` You hypocrite ! You son of a kick ! All this have it off clock time ! ``

Tom picked himself off the basis, hanging his head he could only agree.

'' You have to save him ; you are the only one that can ! '' Ben screamed. Tom reached out he could feel Jonathan, his index was almost surcharge, if it was n't stopped soon the boy would explode taking several thou of statute mile of everything near him with him. Tom started to give chase feeling Jonathan 's power still increasing though for some ground it had finally started to slow.

AN HOUR BEFORE THE EXPLOSION

Jonathan had searched the way a twelve sentence feeling every impuissance every inch of the stone. He 'd started to establish up his power it should be richly enough to get out of here soon. Looking out at Ben he could see that the man was n't well-chosen, why not ? He 'd helped to beguile a unsafe criminal, though here Jonathan smiled, he would n't be captured much longer. Ben could see that Jonathan was becoming calmer as each day passed though he was n't certainly what he was up to. They 'd finally see that though he had outstanding control he still only had a little Sir Thomas More than half what he needed. All the tests done, Ben was more worried about Jonathan than their blame decision. Ben watched him for almost an hour the council arguing and discussing, Ben noticed that Jonathan 's hide was starting to burn. 'Oh shit ,'Ben thought, reaching out he grabbed the council throwing a shield around them, looking back he saw Jonathan resist, nod at him then the entire building exploded. anathemise it Ben thought I underestimated him again .
