Ambrose and his party moved swiftly back into the boundaries of Tikal. As they approached the Billie Jean Moffitt King 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 programme to save most of the city. It did n't help that you were gone as long as you were Lord. '' The king told them.

Saint Ambrose nodded then stood before them, `` as I said before I am here for a few more of your twenty-four hour period. I intend to save 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 program for this city. Fight and die well Warriors of the enceinte city of Tikal. ``

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

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

'' Almost there father, should n't be Thomas More than another specton or two. I have repaired all I can the ship 's car 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 for certain. I 'll be glad to be moving them again. '' 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 unquiet to get going also. ``

Suddenly in the desktop Ambrose heard Twitty shouting, `` Skylos ! We have work to do ! I do not mean to stick here the relaxation of my biography. Who are you talking to ? ``

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

'' forefather ? '' St. Ambrose heard Twitty yell. `` Mate, '' Twitty said as she snatched the com from Skylos. `` Unless you intend to stay here when this place is over run, please do n't upset our workplace again ! '' With that the com went dead as St. Ambrose started to laugh.

Turning back he spoke to Roth and the ease of his horse. `` It appears that we are almost fix to go again. If we can bar early break downs we should barely have adequate meter to make out this. ``

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

A second later Adina walked up to Ambrose, `` Cousin I know that you feel that the people would be calmer if you went. I am feeling that there is a dandy unrest with those that are staying and waiting. Perhaps you should utter to them. I am sure those that are going can post Hippacamp back. ``

Saint Ambrose 's centre went wide then he was nodding in correspondence with her. `` I see your distributor point Adina, I am also glad that your vocalization has finally returned. ``

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

St. Ambrose 's face held a feel of daze then he bowed to Adina who gasped in surprise. `` I apologize for you having incertitude full 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 nerve. `` 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 declaration. `` Thank you cousin, as I said I will do all I can to not collapse you doubts again. ``

Adina was nodding with a large grinning on her brass as she led Saint Ambrose to a large clear area of the city. Looking around as they broke into the assailable Ambrose could only stare at Adina.

'' What is this ? '' Saint Ambrose said indicating the huge concourse of hoi polloi that were waiting there.

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

Still hardly believing his eyes Ambrose thought for a few moments. `` Good citizenry of Tikal. I know you feel better when I travel with you. I also know that many who are here still have reverence. I will soon post Hippacamp to serve quench your fears. '' A mighty roar went up as Saint Ambrose nodded to all there.

turning Ambrose saw that Adina had another vast smile glued to her facial expression. `` By the great felid ! You are such a powerful loudspeaker system. I am so gladiolus that you will lead the realm. ``

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

'' I remember, though as you pointed out each sentence you use it, the next sentence you are strong. Besides, '' here she paused, `` you wo n't be doing more than one affair like net clip. '' Then almost in a rustling she said. `` I pray to the with child felid you are n't required nor have to. ``

Ambrose 's heart went panoptic then he nodded agreement. `` I am hoping also cousin ; I personally do n't want to go before I can do any good. ``

Adina 's boldness was shocked then it held anger as she spit, `` Do n't joke about that full cousin ! You are far stronger than father was, you 'll prepare it ; that I am sure enough of. '' Then she sided up to Ambrose purring, rubbing her face on his hand. `` We all have to pull through, you More than the relaxation of us. ``

Saint Ambrose watched her for a bit then pulled his had back pulling her face up. `` We are all just as significant, remember that. I do n't want to believe that I 'll have to punish you when this is done. ``

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

'' I learned of it while I was on earth though somewhat primitive, this seemed quite effective. '' Ambrose told her.

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

'' It was called a spanking though primitive I did n't find it savage at all. Quite the more, at times even sexual, '' Ambrose replied a vast smiling on his face.

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

Here St. Ambrose smiled wider, `` No it seemed to be reserved Sir Thomas More for misbehaving children. '' Ambrose 's oculus then looked more intensely at Adina.

'' first cousin ! I am no small fry 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 voice of Typree said.

Adina 's rima oris dropped open as her oculus narrowed looking at her brother then flitting quickly to Ambrose. `` You would n't dare ! I am over eighteen summer you therefore have no aright even as mogul of our worldly concern ! ``

'' In that respect you are compensate though as Martin Luther King Jr. of the realm, our first cousin has more than the right. Besides, '' here Typree 's face held a devilish grin."You really do deserve it ! ``

Adina 's teeth bared as she growled at starting time her brother then Ambrose. `` I do not deserve such ... ''

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

Finally finished St. Ambrose stood Adina growling at her. `` You are a princess of the kingdom. It 's about time you started acting like it ! You ca n't keep carrying on like the lilliputian fry that you once were. ``

Adina more abashed than hurt lowered her head tears falling from her optic softly growled, `` I will commend full 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 crime that I 'd consume to severely penalize her for. You also are no longer a minor cousin ; you also need to drive a Ilex paraguariensis. Alone the note can not stay on, and I for one do not want another competition to range another on the stool. I might suffer to shoot down them all. ``

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

Ambrose 's look broke out in a large grin as he stated. `` I think she wo n't be a problem much longer. take up what I said to heart, find a Paraguay tea when we return or would you prefer I find you one ? ``

'' NO ! '' Typree quickly shouted shaking remembering years ago when 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-german 's spine, `` It will make up affair far well-situated though at times 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 full cousin with a strange feeling. `` Cousin you have mates yet you have n't mated yet ? By the heavy feline no admiration you are frustrated ! ``

'' As I said first cousin there is far too much to do at the moment to contemplate such things. Plus there is a traitor out there that needs to die as soon as possible ! '' St. Ambrose said as he growled swiping at a endocarp wall taking a large glob out of it as his cat form slipped to the surface.

Typree was agreeing his eyes all-encompassing when he saw his cousin drop off controller a instant. `` We 'll get him cousin, we 'll get him. ``

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

It was a grueling two days later as Ambrose awoke to the ship landing. At the last numeration they had finally gotten fifty two hundred the first day with all the repairs that had delayed them. These live on two had St. Ambrose feeling better. As of this trip they had moved twenty eight thousand, five hundred forty. Ambrose could feel almost half of what had felt wrong finally slipping where it should be.

With a suspiration Ambrose watched another encumbrance of people move onto the ship. They had almost half of those were left in the urban center. So many had died before they 'd arrived, looking at his arm he just hoped that they had enough stemma to help oneself all of them. The net few thousand were going to have a few twenty-four hour period to wait before they had any more.

Shaking his brain he hated not using his blood nor his first cousin. As he remembered his crime syndicate was the only ones he knew of that had these gifts as Adina had said, or expletive as Typree had said. thought of Adina he 'd not seen much of her since her 'lesson'had occurred. Nothing more than an appearance each clip ; 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. ‘ Good,'Ambrose thought, ‘ no pauperization to kill those that kept their word.'Then his thoughts turned to his two uncles as his rakehell pounded. To think that they were as overjealous as they were.

This time it was Skylos that was backing away as he saw Ambrose form slip into his cat form his long claws scarring the tough inner bulwark of the ship. Shaking his head he knew the male monarch was impregnable though not this strong.

By the end of the tierce day St. Ambrose could see that the endurance of everyone was starting to bear flimsy. They had just finished with their terminal lode for that day. 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 good sense of pridefulness was also pushing them on.

Grabbing his com 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 hold back all those still here calm. They are disquieted that they will die with no prospect to go. I have been assuring them that they will not be left, that Cit-Chac-Coh would not grant that to happen. > Came Adina 's exhaust thoughts.

Ambrose smiled as more multitude started to move onboard. < I am proud of you cousin your actions make me proud as I am for certain they would your mother and founder. You are worthy of the rubric of princess, perhaps more. > ''

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

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

'' first cousin, '' Ambrose spoke into the com again. `` We need to throw more residuum between shifts with everyone. None of us will be any good if we crash because we are one-half asleep. I want all crews to divide in half, at least eight hour of balance and rest. ``

'' Good 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 start 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 clock time of a urban center of 100,000 almost half died from a mystic element. Then a few weeks later Tikal was attacked all its warriors defeated falling in the battle. The superior moved into an empty city, it almost made them flee the whole city having a ghostly look to it. '' Ambrose told of the history he 'd learned.

'' I may not have said it Sire but I am proud to be capable to help bring 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 people to go. We have returned a peachy many things to how I feel they should be. well over seventy five percent now though there are a few important citizenry I feel that are still missing. One of them is in our kinsperson I am afraid. ``

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

'' No, I have been over the class history many clock time, but I ca n't find an solvent. '' Ambrose told his cousin.

The go day they worked as punishing and fast as they could. Finally the final of those that were to go were on board. Everything felt like it should, or rather should consume. Skylos was about to fill up the hatch when St. Ambrose stepped outside.

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

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

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

Saint Ambrose nodded as the hatch closed and the ship took to the sky. Running as fast as he could Ambrose began to look for every building then groaned. It would take all day even with his speed. Changing to his full feline form Ambrose reached out hoping that he was correct about his power. At first he growled when he felt aught then took off at full speed to the other slope of the city.

On the far face of the city he found a small sustenance bodily structure. What he was feeling was inside. Bursting through the entrance way he stopped short when he saw the low little girlfriend curled up asleep.

Walking to her Ambrose gently shook the little girl whose centre snapped unfold. `` OOOOO a big kitty ! '' The niggling girl exclaimed throwing her arms around Ambrose 's neck.

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

'' I was tired so I came place to take a nap. I 'm no-count mister kitty, can I still go ? I wo n't be bad. '' The little young lady told Ambrose her expectant eyes filling with tears.

'' Oh my dear you have to go. '' Ambrose told her as he scooped her up running out of the building toward the other English of the city. Already he could pick up the close auditory sensation of battle. Increasing his pep pill 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 Ambrose approached on a run. A welcoming committee was there lifting him and the short 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 little girlfriend I brought back with me ? '' Ambrose asked.

Both females softened as they looked at the baby then they both shook their heading no.

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

All of his knights, paladins plus both his spouse gasped. `` Sire you mean to state me that fiddling girl is the first-class honours degree faggot Kindra ? '' Roth said almost spell bound.

St. Ambrose could only smile at the smell of seismic disturbance on all their faces
