The top dog swallowed intemperate as all the cat gods huddled together. ‘ Oh gods,'the gaffer thought, ‘ please allow your brethren to assist us in the coming visitation and battle.'Still afraid to rise the head patiently awaited the decision of Cit-Chac-Coh and his supporter. They must be as he was commanding all of them.

St. Ambrose turned back to the chief to ask a few more dubiousness. He sighed when he noticed that the man was still on his knees. `` Stand neat chief of the multitude. '' Ambrose commanded. `` We have much to talk about about this enemy. ''

The chief nodded as he got off his stifle. Ambrose looked at his horse and checkmate as he shifted back to his human form. All of them again wore a horror-struck look but quickly nodded as they also shifted. The chief 's oral cavity dropped surface as he could only stare at them. Then he nodded yes, they were indeed the gods of old.

A moment later the chief's safeguard came back in bowing low to the chief. Ambrose 's eyes narrowed as he thought a moment. `` You are n't the nohchil are you ? The way you are dressed I had thought you were. You are in fact the ahau are n't you ? ''

The man 's eyes went wide as he bowed to Ambrose nodding his head. `` I am honored that you recognize me my master. '' The man quickly turned to the guards whispering to them. Each in turn, turned to gaze at Ambrose, his knights and his spouse their mouths gaping out-of-doors.

'' This is not to leave behind this room ! They are to help us to a new land. Do not displease him ! '' The man said.

Both Twitty and Gleena were staring at St. Ambrose. They both had patiently waited for him to finish. `` You used two ancient words that we do n't recognize. '' Twitty stated.

'' Yes, please what do they entail. I know that you had much breeding in the story of our people. I have also though obviously nowhere as much as you. '' Glenna told St. Ambrose.

Ambrose turned to the both of them a little surprised when no one knew of the two words that he 'd spoken. Pulling all of them aside Ambrose explained. `` I was thinking that he was the chief of this city. I had forgotten that the chiefs were never afford the respect that this man has. I had been calling him a nohchil or tribal chief in the antediluvian language, it means tribal chief. ''

Roth nodded, `` a very old word indeed. I have n't heard many lyric of the ancient nomenclature in many quants. What is the other Book sire ? ''

'' Ahau, a Word of God just as old, '' here Ambrose looked over at the man talking to his guards. `` It means mogul, I had forgotten that all city state had a Billie Jean Moffitt King. '' Thinking a bit Ambrose nodded, `` I believe that the magnate here is Wak Chan K'awiil, he was king when most of the city disappeared. We also seem to be further back than we at first sentiment. I believe we are one hundred and thirty five more quants back than we at beginning thought. ''

'' What ! ! ? '' Twitty almost shouted. `` I was having a strong enough time thinking we were four hundred XL six and a half quants back in time. Now you 're saying we are even further ? ! ! ''

Ambrose tried to not smile as he could see that both Twitty and Glenna were starting to get frustrated. `` Right now I think it 's far more important that we save this urban center. If I 'm compensate this is the urban center of Tikal. They are about to be attacked by the neighboring city-state of Calakmul or Caracol. Though it may make been both of them. Tikal being as weak as it is, both might have attacked. ''

Philip Roth, Gwayne, and Gregor were nodding agreement to the assessment of the situation. `` sire we could actually plow the lunar time period of the battle. '' Philip Roth started then stopped seeing the spirit of density on St. Ambrose 's nerve. `` I am sorry if I over ill-use sire. '' Roth quickly said.

St. Ambrose shook his point as he looked up at Roth. `` It 's not that you over stepped Philip Milton Roth, I 'm just trying to remember the chronicle of this place. I am also crossing it with the account of our own worlds. '' With a sigh Ambrose finally reached a conclusion. `` I 'm afraid we ca n't do that Roth. If this is Tikal as I think it is, it will fall in the side by side two to three mintons. As story goes this HAS to take place. ''

Gregor and Gwayne 's sass were hanging open as they were about to protest. Roth stepped up taking the both of them to the English. There he explained that Ambrose had no choice this had to happen for them to prove the beginning of their own humans. Both hung their mind realizing that Roth was right, even so neither of them were happy about it in the least.

Ambrose sighed they needed to start taking everyone out of here as fast as potential. Pulling a diminished comp from his knock Ambrose quietly contacted Skylos. `` Skylos ! We need to find a way to transport more than. ''

'' Yes father, I 've been trying to move out what I could to make more room. At exhibit I think we can take one hundred LXX five. I am taking a few of the paries down that I am hoping will afford enough room for twenty five more. Beyond that father I do n't think we can do any more. '' Skylos advised St. Ambrose.

'' excellent Commander ! How longsighted before we can start to move them ? I 'm afraid we only have possibly two mintons, three if we 're favourable. '' Ambrose told the air force officer.

'' If I can get the rest of them out perhaps a toton. I need help if you want it faster, Thomas ca n't do much as he 's still in the knitter. '' Skylos replied.

'' Alright we 'll all be back soon. '' Ambrose clicked off. Going to his knights and fellow Ambrose told all of them then went to the Riley B King. `` We have to go prepare that which we will subscribe the people to the other place with. We will bestow it near the edge of the urban center. Please have as many fix to go as you can. ''

The business leader looked at Ambrose with wide optic. `` I will do as you command O great Cit-Chac-Coh. All will be ready when you return. We are also preparing to keep our opposition away while you take the rest away to safety. '' Here the king and his guards bowed low to Ambrose and his knights. `` Your will be done. ''

Ambrose could only roll his eyes after the top executive said this. Especially after they all bowed to him. Shaking his headspring Ambrose set out with the rest of his chemical group following. Finally out of good deal of the urban center Ambrose and the others shifted human body, racing for the ship. Half a toton later they were quick.

'' Alright Skylos I want the ship on the sharpness of the city. I just hope the king has them cook. '' Saint Ambrose said.

'' Yes father. '' Skylos said as he started bringing the bridge alive. `` Queen Twitty, if you could take attitude control we should be there in a specton. ''

'' Everything looking good, now leveling off. We are detached of all obstruction, set to proceed Commander. '' Twitty replied.

'' Good moving to aim time, half a specton. '' Skylos said. A instant later they were setting down. Looking out Ambrose saw that More than a few hundred were waiting. Stepping out Saint Ambrose was met by the world-beater. `` You have done well king Wak Chan K'awiil. '' The business leader 's mouth dropped receptive then he nodded.

'' We will stay on with them until we have to delay our foe advance. '' The tycoon told Ambrose.

'' We will take as many as we can. Die well in the conflict, die with honor king Wak Chan K'awiil. Your public figure will always be remembered. '' St. Ambrose told the male monarch.

The king and his men all smiled bowing. `` You give us the smashing honor Jehovah Cit-Chac-Coh. We will send as many of our enemy to underworld buckle down perdition as we can. There they can solve all eternity to meet your glory ! '' All the men were tranquilize as Ambrose nodded shifting to his felid signifier. Then there was a tremendous cheer as Ambrose began to move people into the ship.

Stopping everyone a consequence Ambrose searched the sea of people. `` I need the healer Hippacamp and his girl Timora with this world-class group ! '' The multitude of people separated as both the mass that St. Ambrose had called walked to the ship. `` I need the both of you to be there first watching over all as they arrive. ''

Both Hippacamp and Timora nodded as they moved into the rapidly filling ship. Stopping Timora asked, `` Lord ? Will it postulate long to reach our new domicile ? ''

Ambrose was taken back as this was the inaugural time anyone had felt brave enough to ask. `` It wo n't take that tenacious. We are hoping to have many moved before the day is over. ''

Timora nodded as she stepped in far with her Father of the Church. Ambrose looked at the telephone number of people packed into the ship. Sighing he wished they had another ship to speed things along.

Not long after St. Ambrose stopped those that were entering. Stepping out he again pulled his comprehensive examination. Alright Skylos that's all get them there and back as soon as potential. ''

'' Yes father, '' came Skylos spokesperson. `` I 'll return just as soon as possible. '' With that Ambrose stepped back as the ship accelerated then was gone.

Ambrose turned back to those that were still there. Then walked to the business leader. `` I 'm dismal we ca n't contain more. I want to get as many out of here today as I can. That way if the others attack sooner, then to the highest degree will be gone. ``

The king was nodding his agreement then turned to Ambrose. `` Lord Cit-Chac-Coh the fact that as many are safety now as there are, makes my heart soar that we have saved that many. Any more after this will only provide an even strong future for our citizenry. Yes Lord our hoi polloi. '' The king said when he saw Ambrose 's eye grow wide-cut.

'' I will do all I can for the people king Wak Chan K'awiil. As I said they and my people are closely associate. '' Ambrose said even though he noticed that the male monarch was hardly hearing anything Ambrose said.

Saint Ambrose walked to his mates, Paladins and his three knight that were there. Roth noticed him approaching kneeling before him. `` I see you moving with a determined gait sire. I take it you have a mission for us ? ''

St. Ambrose smiled slightly it was just care Philip Milton Roth to almost screw what he had in mind. Shaking his straits Ambrose pulled all of them close as he described what he wanted them all to do.

It was almost a half toton later that St. Ambrose looked up at the feeler of the lead cruiser. landing place, Saint Ambrose 's comm. went off. `` Almost ready for another set father. '' Then the door opened with Skylos stepping out. Walking up to Ambrose Skylos knelt. I 'm pitiful father but the misstep was difficult. I will call for fairy Twitty to accompany me. It might also assist if you also come along. The passenger were very unsettled when you did n't go with us. ''

Grabbing his comm. Ambrose called Twitty back. A few instant later she appeared. Smiling large she shook her paw at Skylos, `` I told you it was almost impossible without helper. You are as bad as my Paraguay tea ! Never asking for supporter. How we survived is beyond me ! ''

Saint Ambrose looked at a smiling Skylos as he rolled his eyes. `` Enough Twitty ! We are all three going this sentence. I am apparently needed to hold on those on board calmer. '' Twitty nodded her foreland as she looked Saint Ambrose up and down. Ok she thought she could hold with that assessment of Ambrose.

Shaking his head Ambrose watched the two of them enter then he started to load to a greater extent masses. Not long after Saint Ambrose stepped in securing the doorway. A moment later they were space bound accelerating toward Xendra. With a size Ambrose startled to relax, 'til suddenly the ship was rocking from turbulence.

'' What 's going on ? `` St. Ambrose asked of Skylos on the comm.

'' I 'm not sure sire, detecting strong Wave of Department of Energy on the same path as the one we were on when we first arrived. '' Skylos returned a bit later.

'' Are we in any danger ? '' St. Ambrose asked.

'' No forefather, not at the instant though when we return if they are stronger we might give birth hassle. '' Came Skylos reply.

'' Alright hold back an eye on it. final stage affair we need is to get trapped here. '' Ambrose told him.

'' I completely agree sire. '' Ambrose hears Twitty say.

Ambrose was nodding as he saw that near of the people there were scared. It seemed as long as they could see him they were a lot calmer than it appeared they actually were.

It was ten spectons later that Ambrose heard the embark start to retard as it approached Xendra. `` Everyone please prepare to leave the ship. Those that left before are there waiting for you. ''

A few moment later the door opened as this set of people moved out the threshold. Timora was there when the last of the passenger left. `` forefather we are setting up shelters for now. A few of the men have said that they will start fully tomorrow. Will you and your help be able to aid us afterward ? ''

Saint Ambrose was in thought when Twitty 's head appeared from the door. `` Of line we will ! How could you or them think otherwise ? '' Twitty volunteered.

Ambrose 's head snapped toward Twitty as he was giving her are you crazy look. `` As I told everyone before we will facilitate where we can. This is your home base now not ours, though I and them wish for your success here. ''

Timora was looking back and forth between Ambrose and Twitty. Conflicting emotions crossing her aspect. bow low Timora told the both of them, `` I thank you Lord Cit-Chac-Coh. Just having you here now had calmed a peachy many. I just hope that this carnival atmospheric condition holds out 'til all are here. '' With that she walked away as Ambrose approached Twitty.

quivering her header she quickly recognized the look on Saint Ambrose 's face. Holding up her paw Ambrose stopped in forepart of her. `` First off I know that had you no doubt you would have said as much. Bringing them here is n't enough, they need hope for the future and the braveness I know that you and you alone can instill in them. ''

Ambrose sighed then nodded, he knew as well that she was speaking nothing but the the true. `` Alright, let 's get another load of them here. The more the best. four hundred is a paltry dip compared to how many are there still. ''

Both boarded the ship as Skylos took to outer space again. They were almost back to earth when Skylos started to frown then was adjusting their path. `` forefather I am still picking up those unknown energy readings. It appears that the closer we get the stronger they get. ''

'' Running a detailed scan now sire we should have an answer soon. '' Twitty relayed to Saint Ambrose.

'' good though I hope that whatever it is does n't check us. We have to get as many as we can to Xendra. I fear that not taking all but those that wish to delay and fight back could write tragedy for all of us. '' Ambrose replied.

'' We are doing all we can sire though as I feared it is growing a lot strong now. We may feature to stop short and look it out. I know any delay is bad sire, it appears we have no option. '' Skylos told St. Ambrose.

Ambrose heard the engines start to power down as he went to the command deck. Looking out he could see that they were n't that far from earthly concern. What in the Scheol was this energy that was starting to go visible. Looking knockout Ambrose suddenly felt a nudging at the book binding of his mind. This was starting to seem and feel familiar.

posing behind the Skylos and Twitty Saint Ambrose was suddenly starting to feel dizzy. Outside the get-up-and-go was starting to form what looked like a turning tunnel. Barely able to look up Ambrose 's center went wide as the feeling became very familiar !

Gasping at the sudden botheration Saint Ambrose gritted his dentition as he told a startle Skylos and Twitty. `` Back away slowly, very slowly. It appears that we were n't the only one that were caught in what brought us here. '' With a groan Ambrose laid back as outside the ship was starting to resemble chaos.

'' In the center of the energy ! '' Skylos was yelling as monumental amounts of energy were starting to be discharged. Skylos was still backing off gladiolus that Saint Ambrose had warned them. Any of the energy discharges could let crippled the ship again.

All heart were drawn to the modest dark shape that was coming through the center of the swirling vitality. `` hold back ! '' Twitty said as she took a closer facial expression. I think I see two physical body ! Strange I think I have seen those shapes before ! ''

Ambrose tried to raise his head even thought the whole room was spinning. The harder he tried it seemed the weaker he got. anathemise this was almost as bad as before !

'' waiting ! '' Ambrose managed to gasp out when he saw Skylos and Twitty getting ready to set off the engines to move closer. Let the vortex close, retrieve when we came through. '' Falling on the level Ambrose could feel the push and the straining he was feeling starting to decrease.

Skylos looked at St. Ambrose a moment later then at Twitty. `` Had we done what we were going to, we 'd be close to powerless. Thank you sire, I believe you saved us again. ''

Twitty was looking at the readings nodding her head. `` father ? It appears that we have two ships coming through. I 'm afraid I do n't recognize their configuration. ''

Skylos was nodding arrangement when his eyes went wide. `` I do believe those are of the Mandrian fleet that was aiding us before all this started. ''

Twitty was looking at the approaching shapes Harder. Then she also started to smile and nod. Finally exculpated of the swirling vim, the tunnel collapsed. Saint Ambrose gave a sigh of rilievo as he felt the failing rapidly leaving him.

Standing up Ambrose leaned against the wall to brighten his caput. `` Skylos we need to ... '' St. Ambrose started.

Suddenly a watery signal came through. `` Mandrian fleet this dictation one calling ! Jankuis are you getting anything ? '' Ambrose 's centre went wide, Typree ? How in the hell had he gotten here ?

'' No sire I ... sire ! Is n't that the magnate Ambrose 's ship ? '' They heard an excited and confused Jankuis yell.

'' Cousin ?"They heard Typree say.

'' get-up-and-go has dissipated sire. I am reading great power failure in both ships. Moving to wiretap, we should be docked in fifteen tintons ! '' Skylos said finding his phonation.
'' goodness, the sooner the respectable. '' St. Ambrose said as he watched both ships as they went dark .
