The chief swallowed tough as all the cat gods huddled together. ‘ Oh graven image,'the foreman thinking, ‘ please allow your Brother to help us in the total test and battle.'Still afraid to rise the chief patiently awaited the decision of Cit-Chac-Coh and his assistant. They must be as he was commanding all of them.

Ambrose turned back to the chief to ask a few more question. He sighed when he noticed that the man was still on his knees. `` Stand with child chief of the hoi polloi. '' Saint Ambrose commanded. `` We have much to hash out about this enemy. ''

The chief nodded as he got off his human knee. Ambrose looked at his horse and mates as he shifted back to his human being form. All of them again wore a horrified look but quickly nodded as they also shifted. The tribal chief 's mouth dropped open as he could only stare at them. Then he nodded yes, they were indeed the deity of old.

A moment later the gaffer's safety device came back in bowing low to the headman. Saint Ambrose 's eye 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 lord. '' The man quickly turned to the guards whispering to them. Each in turn, turned to stare at Ambrose, his knights and his mates their mouths gaping open.

'' This is not to get out 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 Saint Ambrose. They both had patiently waited for him to stop. `` You used two ancient words that we do n't recognize. '' Twitty stated.

'' Yes, delight what do they mean. I know that you had lots training in the story of our people. I have also though obviously nowhere as very much as you. '' Glenna told Ambrose.

St. Ambrose turned to the both of them a little storm 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 head of this urban center. I had forgotten that the honcho were never afford the respect that this man has. I had been calling him a nohchil or boss in the antediluvian speech, it means chief. ''

Roth nodded, `` a very old word indeed. I have n't heard many actor's line of the ancient language in many quants. What is the other Holy Scripture sire ? ''

'' Ahau, a word just as old, '' here Saint Ambrose looked over at the man talking to his precaution. `` It means tycoon, I had forgotten that all city state had a king. '' Thinking a moment Ambrose nodded, `` I believe that the King 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 intellection. I believe we are one hundred and thirty five more quants back than we at first mentation. ''

'' What ! ! ? '' Twitty almost shouted. `` I was having a knockout plenty time thinking we were four hundred XL six and a half quants back in sentence. 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 city. If I 'm right this is the city of Tikal. They are about to be attacked by the adjacent city-state of Calakmul or Caracol. Though it may sustain been both of them. Tikal being as weak as it is, both might have attacked. ''

Roth, Gwayne, and Gregor were nodding correspondence to the appraisal of the situation. `` Sire we could actually release the tide of the battle. '' Roth started then stopped seeing the look of tightness on Ambrose 's case. `` I am sorry if I over stepped forefather. '' Roth quickly said.

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

Gregor and Gwayne 's rima oris were hanging open as they were about to protest. Roth stepped up taking the both of them to the side. There he explained that Ambrose had no choice this had to pass off for them to install the beginning of their own worlds. Both hung their heads realizing that Philip Roth was right, even so neither of them were happy about it in the to the lowest degree.

Ambrose sighed they needed to start up taking everyone out of here as fast as possible. Pulling a small comp from his belt Ambrose quietly contacted Skylos. `` Skylos ! We need to feel a way to transport to a greater extent. ''

'' Yes Sire, I 've been trying to remove what I could to make Sir Thomas More room. At acquaint I think we can take one hundred 70 five. I am taking a few of the rampart down that I am hoping will open enough elbow room for twenty five more. Beyond that sire I do n't think we can do any more. '' Skylos advised St. Ambrose.

'' first-class Commander ! How farseeing before we can start out to move them ? I 'm afraid we only have possibly two mintons, three if we 're lucky. '' Ambrose told the Commander.

'' If I can get the rest of them out perhaps a toton. I need avail if you want it faster, Seth 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 Ilex paraguariensis Ambrose told all of them then went to the king. `` We have to go prepare that which we will look at the people to the early place with. We will bring it near the edge of the city. Please have as many ready to go as you can. ''

The king looked at Ambrose with wide eyes. `` I will do as you command O great Cit-Chac-Coh. All will be prepare when you return. We are also preparing to hold our foeman away while you take the quietus away to safe. '' Here the king and his precaution bowed low to Ambrose and his knights. `` Your will be done. ''

Ambrose could only roll his eyes after the mogul said this. Especially after they all bowed to him. Shaking his capitulum Ambrose set out with the rest of his radical following. Finally out of sight of the city Ambrose and the others shifted configuration, racing for the ship. Half a toton later they were ready.

'' Alright Skylos I want the ship on the bound of the city. I just hope the king has them fix. '' Ambrose said.

'' Yes Sire. '' Skylos said as he started bringing the bridge alive. `` queen mole rat Twitty, if you could lead attitude control we should be there in a specton. ''

'' Everything looking skilful, now leveling off. We are devoid of all obstructer, set to proceed commandant. '' Twitty replied.

'' Good moving to target time, half a specton. '' Skylos said. A import later they were setting down. Looking out Ambrose saw that more than a few hundred were waiting. Stepping out Ambrose was met by the king. `` You have done well king Wak Chan K'awiil. '' The top executive 's mouth dropped open then he nodded.

'' We will rest with them until we have to delay our foeman advance. '' The male monarch told Ambrose.

'' We will need as many as we can. Die well in the battle, die with honor king Wak Chan K'awiil. Your name will always be remembered. '' Saint Ambrose told the king.

The baron and his men all smiled bowing. `` You give us the greatest accolade lord Cit-Chac-Coh. We will send as many of our foeman to underworld slave pits as we can. There they can puzzle out all eternity to fulfill your glory ! '' All the men were tranquil as Saint Ambrose nodded shifting to his feline physique. Then there was a tremendous sunshine as St. Ambrose began to move masses into the ship.

fillet everyone a import Ambrose searched the sea of hoi polloi. `` I need the therapist Hippacamp and his daughter Timora with this first radical ! '' The concourse of hoi polloi separated as both the people that 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 pick out long to attain our new home ? ''

Saint Ambrose was taken back as this was the first prison term anyone had felt brave enough to ask. `` It wo n't ask that foresightful. We are hoping to induce many moved before the day is over. ''

Timora nodded as she stepped in further with her father. Ambrose looked at the numeral of people packed into the ship. Sighing he wished they had another ship to hurry things along.

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

'' Yes Sire, '' came Skylos interpreter. `` 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 tycoon. `` I 'm sorry we ca n't take More. I want to get as many out of here today as I can. That way if the others attack sooner, then near will be gone. ``

The king was nodding his agreement then turned to Ambrose. `` Lord Cit-Chac-Coh the fact that as many are safe now as there are, makes my marrow surge that we have saved that many. Any more after this will only render an even unassailable future for our people. Yes Lord our people. '' The King said when he saw Ambrose 's middle grow panoptic.

'' I will do all I can for the the great unwashed king Wak Chan K'awiil. As I said they and my people are closely related. '' Ambrose said even though he noticed that the Riley B King was hardly hearing anything Ambrose said.

Ambrose walked to his Ilex paraguariensis, paladin and his three horse that were there. Roth noticed him approaching kneeling before him. `` I see you moving with a determined gait father. I take it you have a mission for us ? ''

Saint Ambrose smiled slightly it was just like Roth to almost have it away what he had in mind. Shaking his head St. Ambrose pulled all of them close as he described what he wanted them all to do.

It was almost a one-half toton later that Saint Ambrose looked up at the approach of the star cruiser. landing, Ambrose 's comm. went off. `` Almost ready for another set sire. '' Then the threshold opened with Skylos stepping out. Walking up to Ambrose Skylos knelt. I 'm distressing sire but the misstep was difficult. I will call for female monarch Twitty to play along me. It might also help if you also come along. The passengers were very uncertain when you did n't companion us. ''

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

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

Shaking his head Ambrose watched the two of them enter then he started to dilute more citizenry. Not long after Ambrose stepped in securing the doorway. A consequence 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 ? `` Ambrose asked of Skylos on the comm.

'' I 'm not sure sire, detecting strong waves of zip on the Saame route as the one we were on when we first arrived. '' Skylos returned a moment later.

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

'' No sire, not at the moment though when we return if they are firm we might induce problem. '' Came Skylos reply.

'' Alright keep an eye on it. last thing 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 about 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 ship get-go to slow as it approached Xendra. `` Everyone please prepare to leave the ship. Those that left before are there waiting for you. ''

A few present moment later the threshold opened as this set of the great unwashed moved out the threshold. Timora was there when the last of the rider left. `` Sire we are setting up tax shelter for now. A few of the men have said that they will initiate fully tomorrow. Will you and your assistant be able to aid us afterward ? ''

St. Ambrose was in thought process when Twitty 's head appeared from the threshold. `` Of course we will ! How could you or them think otherwise ? '' Twitty volunteered.

Ambrose 's psyche snapped toward Twitty as he was giving her are you looney look. `` As I told everyone before we will help where we can. This is your dwelling house now not ours, though I and them like for your winner here. ''

Timora was looking back and Forth River between Ambrose and Twitty. Conflicting emotions crossing her face. Bowing low Timora told the both of them, `` I thank you Lord Cit-Chac-Coh. Just having you here now had calmed a keen many. I just hope that this fair weather holds out 'til all are here. '' With that she walked away as Saint Ambrose approached Twitty.

trembling her head she quickly recognized the look on Ambrose 's boldness. Holding up her paw Ambrose stopped in figurehead 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 futurity and the courage I know that you and you alone can instill in them. ''

Ambrose sighed then nodded, he knew as well that she was speaking null but the truth. `` Alright, let 's get another load of them here. The more the practiced. four hundred is a paltry drop 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. `` sire I am still picking up those strange vim reading material. It appears that the closer we get the stronger they get. ''

'' Running a detailed scan now sire we should make an solution soon. '' Twitty relayed to Ambrose.

'' trade good though I hope that whatever it is does n't hold up us. We have to get as many as we can to Xendra. I fear that not taking all but those that wish to stay and fight could spell disaster for all of us. '' Ambrose replied.

'' We are doing all we can beget though as I feared it is growing a lot hard now. We may make to stop scant and wait it out. I know any delay is bad father, it appears we have no choice. '' Skylos told St. Ambrose.

St. Ambrose heard the engines start to superpower down as he went to the control deck of cards. Looking out he could see that they were n't that far from earth. What in the hell was this Energy that was starting to become visible. Looking concentrated Ambrose suddenly felt a nudging at the back of his mind. This was starting to look and feeling comrade.

Sitting behind the Skylos and Twitty Ambrose was suddenly starting to sense dizzy. Outside the DOE was starting to form what looked like a sour burrow. Barely able to look up Saint Ambrose 's eyes went wide as the touch sensation became very familiar !

Gasping at the sudden pain Ambrose gritted his teeth as he told a galvanise Skylos and Twitty. `` vertebral column away slowly, very slowly. It appears that we were n't the only ones that were caught in what brought us here. '' With a moan Saint Ambrose laid back as outside the ship was starting to resemble chaos.

'' In the sum of the energy ! '' Skylos was yelling as monolithic amount of money of vim were starting to be discharged. Skylos was still backing off glad that Saint Ambrose had warned them. Any of the energy venting could experience crippled the ship again.

All eyes were drawn to the small iniquity SHAPE that was coming through the marrow of the swirling energy. `` waitress ! '' Twitty said as she took a closer look. I think I see two frame ! Strange I think I have seen those shapes before ! ''

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

'' hold ! '' Ambrose managed to gasp out when he saw Skylos and Twitty getting ready to start the engines to move closer. Let the whirlpool close, remember when we came through. '' Falling on the storey Ambrose could feel the energy and the air he was feeling starting to decrease.

Skylos looked at 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 recital nodding her oral sex. `` Sire ? It appears that we have two ships coming through. I 'm afraid I do n't pick out their conformation. ''

Skylos was nodding arrangement when his eyes went panoptic. `` I do consider 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 gain of the swirling energy, the burrow collapsed. Saint Ambrose gave a sigh of relief as he felt the impuissance rapidly leaving him.

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

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

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

'' Cousin ?"They heard Typree say.

'' energy has dissipated forefather. I am reading baron failure in both ships. Moving to tap, we should be docked in XV tintons ! '' Skylos said finding his representative.
'' commodity, the Sooner the unspoilt. '' Ambrose said as he watched both ships as they went dark .
