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

'' We are gladiola to see you back amongst us Creator. Many of the men were afraid that you might feature abandoned us and our city. I assured them that you had a plan to bring through almost of the metropolis. It did n't help that you were gone as long as you were God Almighty. '' The king told them.

Ambrose nodded then stood before them, `` as I said before I am here for a few more of your solar day. I intend to pull through as many of the city as I can. If I could I would be here to battle your enemies with you. I am afraid this I can not do, the others have plans for this city. fighting and die well Warriors of the big city of Tikal. ``

A swell sunniness went up from all those there as they started to chant Cit-Chac-Coh as St. Ambrose and his party moved off toward the city it 's self.

'' Skylos ?"Saint Ambrose said when they were out of ear shot of the big businessman and the warriors. `` Are we close yet ? ``

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

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

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

Suddenly in the background knowledge Ambrose heard Twitty yelling, `` Skylos ! We have work to do ! I do not designate to stick around here the repose of my living. Who are you talking to ? ``

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

'' forefather ? '' St. Ambrose heard Twitty yell. `` partner, '' Twitty said as she snatched the com from Skylos. `` Unless you intend to stick here when this home is over run, delight do n't disturb our body of work again ! '' With that the com went dead as Ambrose started to laugh.

turn back he spoke to Philip Roth and the rest of his knights. `` It appears that we are almost ready to go again. If we can bar former fracture pile we should barely have decent clip to make out this. ``

All of them nodded as they ran to their view, 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 cook to go.

A moment later Adina walked up to Ambrose, `` full cousin I know that you feel that the masses would be unagitated 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 for sure those that are going can commit Hippacamp back. ``

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

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

Saint Ambrose 's face held a look of shock then he bowed to Adina who gasped in surprise. `` I apologize for you having question 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 truth. Then a radiant smile lit upon her boldness. `` Thank you cousin, if you can achieve that then I will do everything for you I can, always. ``

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

Adina was nodding with a great smile on her face as she led Ambrose to a large top domain of the city. Looking around as they broke into the undecided Saint Ambrose could only stare at Adina.

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

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

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

Turning Saint Ambrose saw that Adina had another vast grin glued to her face. `` By the great feline ! You are such a powerful speaker. I am so sword lily that you will top the realm. ``

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

'' I remember, though as you pointed out each time you use it, the next time you are substantial. Besides, '' here she paused, `` you wo n't be doing to a greater extent than one affair like last clock time. '' Then almost in a whispering she said. `` I pray to the great feline you are n't required nor have to. ``

Saint Ambrose 's oculus went all-inclusive then he nodded agreement. `` I am hoping also cousin ; I personally do n't want to expire before I can do any unspoiled. ``

Adina 's face 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 indisputable of. '' Then she sided up to Ambrose purring, rubbing her case on his hand. `` We all have to hold out, you more than than the residue of us. ``

Ambrose watched her for a moment then pulled his had back pulling her face up. `` We are all just as of import, call up that. I do n't want to think that I 'll get to punish you when this is done. ``

A face of blow registered on Adina 's facial expression, `` punishment ? What are you talking about cousin ? ``

'' I learned of it while I was on solid ground though somewhat primitive, this seemed quite efficient. '' Saint Ambrose told her.

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

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

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

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

'' Cousin ! I am no baby I ... '' Adina started.

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

Adina 's mouth dropped open as her eyes narrowed looking at her blood brother then flitting quickly to Ambrose. `` You would n't presume ! I am over XVIII summers you therefore have no right even as king of our man ! ``

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

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

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

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

Adina more block than hurt lowered her foreland tears falling from her eyes softly growled, `` I will remember full cousin, my Martin Luther 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 throw committed a crime that I 'd have to severely penalize her for. You also are no longer a shaver cousin ; you also need to take a mate. Alone the job can not stay, and I for one do not need another contest to come in another on the toilet. I might have to defeat them all. ``

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

Ambrose 's side broke out in a with child smiling as he stated. `` I think she wo n't be a problem much longer. Take what I said to heart, find a mate when we return or would you prefer I find you one ? ``

'' NO ! '' Typree quickly shouted shaking remembering eld 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.

Ambrose clapped his handwriting on his full cousin 's back, `` It will make things far well-heeled though at times far more elaborate. I am sure I 'll be finding that out as soon as all of this is over. Having a mate is much like an irritating Sister only there are more welfare. ``

Typree was nodding then looked at his full cousin with a unusual flavor. `` full cousin you have mates yet you have n't mated yet ? By the cracking feline no wonderment you are torment ! ``

'' As I said cousin there is far too very much to do at the second to contemplate such matter. Plus there is a betrayer out there that needs to die as soon as potential ! '' Ambrose said as he growled swiping at a Stone bulwark taking a large chunk out of it as his cat material body slipped to the surface.

Typree was agreeing his centre broad when he saw his first cousin mislay mastery a moment. `` We 'll get him cousin, we 'll get him. ``

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

It was a grueling two solar day later as St. Ambrose awoke to the ship landing place. At the last count they had finally gotten fifty dollar bill two hundred the first gear day with all the stamping ground that had delayed them. These last two had Ambrose feeling better. As of this trip they had moved twenty eight K, five hundred forty. Ambrose could feel almost half of what had felt incorrectly finally slipping where it should be.

With a suspiration Saint Ambrose watched another burden of multitude move onto the ship. They had almost half of those were left in the metropolis. So many had died before they 'd arrived, looking at his arm he just hoped that they had enough descent to help all of them. The last few thousand were going to get a few daytime to wait before they had any more.

Shaking his head he hated not using his stemma nor his first cousin. As he remembered his family was the only ones he knew of that had these endowment as Adina had said, or curses as Typree had said. cerebration of Adina he 'd not seen much of her since her 'lesson'had occurred. Nothing more than than an appearing each time ; 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 visit to them. ‘ dependable,'Ambrose thought, ‘ no need to kill those that kept their word.'Then his thoughts turned to his two uncles as his blood pounded. To call up that they were as overjealous as they were.

This meter it was Skylos that was backing away as he saw Saint Ambrose soma solecism into his cat forge his long pincer scarring the tough inner bulwark of the ship. Shaking his brain he knew the king was strong though not this strong.

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

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

'' We will cousin ; I just hope we have enough of them to urinate a departure. '' 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 tired thoughts.

Ambrose smiled as more people started to actuate onboard. < I am proud of you cousin your action at law make me proud as I am sure they would your female parent and forefather. You are worthy of the title of princess, perhaps more. > ''

A happy pant from Adina made Ambrose smile more. < What are you ... > Adina started.

< I said perhaps after all this is over. > Ambrose told her expecting her to query Thomas More. Un-expectantly she told him give thanks you then was lull. ‘ My, my,'Ambrose thought, ‘ perhaps I should hold spanked her sooner.'

'' full cousin, '' Ambrose spoke into the com again. `` We need to make more rest between switching with everyone. None of us will be any good if we crash because we are one-half benumbed. I want all work party to part in half, at least eight hours of residuum and sleep. ``

'' goodness maybe they will be calmer now. Every one of them are as cranky as if they had their feline catnap disturbed. I 'll tell 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 get-go I feel we 've got most of them. '' Ambrose relayed.

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

'' I 'm afraid so, from all I read of this prison term of a city of 100,000 almost half died from a mysterious element. Then a few weeks later Tikal was attacked all its warriors defeated falling in the battle. The victors moved into an abandon city, it almost made them take flight the whole city having a ghostly feel 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 help add 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 mass to go. We have returned a large many things to how I feel they should be. fountainhead over seventy five percent now though there are a few important people I feel that are still missing. One of them is in our family I am afraid. ``

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

'' No, I have been over the family history many times, but I ca n't determine an answer. '' Ambrose told his cousin.

The last day they worked as hard 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 Saint Ambrose stepped outside.

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

'' Something does n't feel right. I need to go in the urban center, have the former two launch I want you in the air, but low field. I 'll call you in a few spectons. '' Ambrose replied.

'' Alright forefather, though how I am going to keep your mates and horse composure is beyond me. '' Skylos advised Ambrose.

Ambrose nodded as the hatch closed and the ship took to the sky. Running as fast as he could Ambrose began to seek every building then groaned. It would accept all day even with his focal ratio. Changing to his full feline form Ambrose reached out hoping that he was correct about his power. At first off he growled when he felt nix then took off at full speed to the former incline of the city.

On the far side of the urban center he found a small aliveness complex body part. What he was feeling was inside. Bursting through the ingress way he stopped short when he saw the little little daughter curled up asleep.

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

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

'' I was tired so I came home plate to take a nap. I 'm drear Mr kitty, can I still go ? I wo n't be bad. '' The little girl told St. Ambrose her boastfully eyes filling with tears.

'' Oh my dear you have to go. '' Saint Ambrose told her as he scooped her up running out of the construction toward the other side of the city. Already he could take heed the close strait of struggle. Increasing his speed he called Skylos.

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

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

Twitty and Glenna had their arms crossed staring at 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 fiddling young lady I brought back with me ? '' Ambrose asked.

Both females softened as they looked at the child then they both shook their head no.

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

All of his horse, fighter plus both his mates gasped. `` Sire you mean to tell me that lilliputian girl is the first queen Kindra ? '' Roth said almost spell bound.

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