The chief swallowed hard as all the cat divinity huddled together. ‘ Oh graven image,'the chief thought, ‘ please allow your blood brother to help us in the descend visitation and battle.'Still afraid to climb the honcho patiently awaited the determination of Cit-Chac-Coh and his assistants. They must be as he was commanding all of them.

Ambrose turned back to the chief to ask a few more query. He sighed when he noticed that the man was still on his knees. `` stall enceinte chief of the people. '' Ambrose commanded. `` We have much to discuss about this enemy. ''

The chief nodded as he got off his knee joint. Ambrose looked at his knights and mates as he shifted back to his human variety. All of them again wore a horrified look but quickly nodded as they also shifted. The chief 's rima oris dropped undefendable as he could only stare at them. Then he nodded yes, they were indeed the gods of old.

A here and now later the head's guards came back in bowing low to the chief. St. Ambrose 's centre 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 eye went wide-eyed as he bowed to Ambrose nodding his head. `` I am honored that you recognize me my Divine. '' The man quickly turned to the safeguard whispering to them. Each in turn, turned to stare at Saint Ambrose, his knights and his spouse their mouths gaping open.

'' This is not to allow for this elbow room ! They are to avail us to a new domain. Do not displease him ! '' The man said.

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

'' Yes, delight what do they mean. I know that you had often education in the account of our the great unwashed. I have also though obviously nowhere as practically as you. '' Glenna told Ambrose.

Ambrose turned to the both of them a piffling 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 tribal chief of this city. I had forgotten that the head were never afford the respect that this man has. I had been calling him a nohchil or honcho in the ancient language, it means chief. ''

Roth nodded, `` a very old Good Book indeed. I have n't heard many words of the ancient language in many quants. What is the other word forefather ? ''

'' Ahau, a Logos just as old, '' here Ambrose looked over at the man talking to his precaution. `` It means king, I had forgotten that all city-states had a B. B. King. '' Thinking a moment Ambrose nodded, `` I believe that the King here is Wak Chan K'awiil, he was king when near of the city disappeared. We also seem to be further back than we at firstly view. I believe we are one hundred and thirty five more quants back than we at first thought. ''

'' What ! ! ? '' Twitty almost shouted. `` I was having a punishing enough clip thinking we were four hundred 40 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 authoritative that we save this city. If I 'm right field this is the city of Tikal. They are about to be attacked by the neighboring city-state of Calakmul or Caracol. Though it may let been both of them. Tikal being as weak as it is, both might get attacked. ''

Roth, Gwayne, and Gregor were nodding understanding to the assessment of the place. `` Sire we could actually turn the tide of the struggle. '' Roth started then stopped seeing the face of concentration on Ambrose 's face. `` I am sorry if I over stepped sire. '' Philip Roth quickly said.

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 story of this place. I am also crossing it with the history of our own worlds. '' With a sigh Saint Ambrose finally reached a end. `` 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 history goes this HAS to occur. ''

Gregor and Gwayne 's back talk were hanging unfold as they were about to dissent. Roth stepped up taking the both of them to the side. There he explained that Ambrose had no choice this had to happen for them to base the beginning of their own cosmos. Both hung their heads realizing that Roth was right, even so neither of them were glad about it in the least.

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

'' Yes Sire, I 've been trying to withdraw what I could to arrive at more room. At gift I think we can remove one hundred seventy five. I am taking a few of the wall down that I am hoping will afford enough elbow room for twenty five more. Beyond that forefather I do n't think we can do any more. '' Skylos advised Saint Ambrose.

'' excellent commandant ! How long before we can bulge to move them ? I 'm afraid we only have possibly two mintons, three if we 're lucky. '' Ambrose told the commandant.

'' 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 horse and mates Saint Ambrose told all of them then went to the king. `` We have to go prepare that which we will exact the mass to the other place with. We will bring it near the bound of the metropolis. Please have as many ready to go as you can. ''

The Martin Luther King Jr. looked at Ambrose with widely eyes. `` I will do as you command O corking Cit-Chac-Coh. All will be ready when you return. We are also preparing to keep on our enemy away while you take the balance away to safety. '' Here the king and his precaution bowed low to Ambrose and his knights. `` Your will be done. ''

Ambrose could only roll up his eyes after the Riley B King said this. Especially after they all bowed to him. Shaking his head Ambrose set out with the rest period of his group following. Finally out of pile of the city Ambrose and the others shifted form, racing for the ship. Half a toton later they were ready.

'' Alright Skylos I want the ship on the edge of the city. I just hope the king has them ready. '' St. Ambrose said.

'' Yes Sire. '' Skylos said as he started bringing the bridge deck alive. `` fagot Twitty, if you could require attitude command we should be there in a specton. ''

'' Everything looking trade good, now leveling off. We are resign of all obstructions, ready to proceed commandant. '' Twitty replied.

'' adept moving to point sentence, half a specton. '' Skylos said. A moment later they were setting down. Looking out St. Ambrose saw that more than a few hundred were waiting. Stepping out Ambrose was met by the Rex. `` You have done well king Wak Chan K'awiil. '' The power 's lip dropped open then he nodded.

'' We will stay on with them until we have to check our enemies improvement. '' The king told Ambrose.

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

The king and his men all smiled bow. `` You give us the greatest honor noble Cit-Chac-Coh. We will send as many of our enemy to underworld slave stone pit as we can. There they can work all eternity to fulfill your glory ! '' All the men were silence as Ambrose nodded shifting to his feline form. Then there was a tremendous cheer as Ambrose began to move people into the ship.

stopping everyone a present moment Ambrose searched the sea of people. `` I need the healer Hippacamp and his girl Timora with this first group ! '' The concourse of people separated as both the masses that Ambrose had called walked to the ship. `` I need the both of you to be there first observation over all as they arrive. ''

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

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

Timora nodded as she stepped in further with her father. Ambrose looked at the bit of people packed into the ship. Sighing he wished they had another ship to speed 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 voice. `` I 'll return just as soon as possible. '' With that St. Ambrose stepped back as the ship accelerated then was gone.

Ambrose turned back to those that were still there. Then walked to the king. `` 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 about will be gone. ``

The king was nodding his understanding then turned to St. Ambrose. `` Lord Cit-Chac-Coh the fact that as many are prophylactic now as there are, makes my sum zoom that we have saved that many. Any to a greater extent after this will only furnish an even stronger future for our people. Yes Lord our people. '' The king said when he saw Ambrose 's eye originate wide.

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

Ambrose walked to his match, 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 deputation for us ? ''

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

It was almost a half toton later that Ambrose looked up at the coming of the star cruiser. Landing, 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 sorry forefather but the trip was difficult. I will need Queen Twitty to accompany me. It might also serve if you also come along. The passengers were very unsettled when you did n't accompany us. ''

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

Ambrose looked at a smiling Skylos as he rolled his centre. `` Enough Twitty ! We are all three going this clock time. I am apparently needed to keep those on add-in calmer. '' Twitty nodded her drumhead as she looked St. Ambrose up and down. Ok she thought she could agree with that judgement of Ambrose.

Shaking his mind Ambrose watched the two of them enter then he started to lade more people. Not long after St. Ambrose stepped in securing the threshold. A moment later they were blank space bound accelerating toward Xendra. With a size Saint Ambrose startled to relax, 'til suddenly the ship was rocking from upheaval.

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

'' I 'm not surely sire, detecting strong waving of energy on the same way as the one we were on when we first arrived. '' Skylos returned a moment later.

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

'' No forefather, not at the moment though when we return if they are substantial we might have trouble. '' Came Skylos reply.

'' Alright keep an eye on it. Last thing we need is to get trapped here. '' St. Ambrose told him.

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

Ambrose was nodding as he saw that about of the masses 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 Saint Ambrose heard the ship start to slow down as it approached Xendra. `` Everyone please prepare to bequeath the ship. Those that left before are there waiting for you. ''

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

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

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

Timora was looking back and Forth between St. Ambrose and Twitty. Conflicting emotions crossing her facial expression. obeisance low Timora told the both of them, `` I thank you noble Cit-Chac-Coh. Just having you here now had calmed a large many. I just hope that this fair atmospheric condition holds out 'til all are here. '' With that she walked away as St. Ambrose approached Twitty.

quivering her header she quickly recognized the look on St. Ambrose 's face. Holding up her paw Ambrose stopped in strawman of her. `` offset off I know that had you no doubtfulness you would have said as lots. Bringing them here is n't enough, they need hope for the future and the courage I know that you and you alone can tincture in them. ''

Ambrose sighed then nodded, he knew as well that she was speaking nil but the truth. `` Alright, let 's get another lading of them here. The to a greater extent the secure. four hundred is a paltry bead compared to how many are there still. ''

Both boarded the ship as Skylos took to place again. They were almost back to earthly concern when Skylos started to frown then was adjusting their path. `` Sire I am still picking up those strange vitality reading. It appears that the closer we get the stronger they get. ''

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

'' Good though I hope that whatever it is does n't stay 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 write disaster for all of us. '' St. Ambrose replied.

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

St. Ambrose heard the engines start to major power down as he went to the command deck of cards. Looking out he could see that they were n't that far from ground. What in the netherworld was this energy that was starting to become visible. Looking punishing Ambrose suddenly felt a nudging at the vertebral column of his brain. This was starting to bet and FEEL familiar.

seance behind the Skylos and Twitty Ambrose was suddenly starting to feel dizzy. Outside the muscularity was starting to form what looked like a turning tunnel. Barely able-bodied to look up Ambrose 's eyes went all-embracing as the flavor became very familiar !

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

'' In the center of the vigor ! '' Skylos was yelling as massive amounts of energy were starting to be discharged. Skylos was still backing off glad that Saint Ambrose had warned them. Any of the get-up-and-go discharges could take crippled the ship again.

All eyes were drawn to the pocket-size dark physique that was coming through the inwardness of the swirling energy. `` Wait ! '' Twitty said as she took a closer look. I think I see two bod ! Strange I think I have seen those shapes before ! ''

Ambrose tried to raise his oral sex even thought the solid room was spinning. The harder he tried it seemed the weaker he got. maledict this was almost as bad as before !

'' Wait ! '' Ambrose managed to gasp out when he saw Skylos and Twitty getting fix to start the engines to move closer. Let the whirl close, remember when we came through. '' Falling on the floor Ambrose could feel the energy and the line 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 interpretation nodding her head. `` sire ? It appears that we have two ships coming through. I 'm afraid I do n't recognise their shape. ''

Skylos was nodding understanding when his oculus went panoptic. `` 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 exonerate of the swirling energy, the tunnel collapsed. St. Ambrose gave a suspiration of stand-in as he felt the weakness rapidly leaving him.

Standing up Saint Ambrose leaned against the rampart to clear his headspring. `` Skylos we need to ... '' Ambrose started.

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

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

'' Cousin ?"They heard Typree say.

'' Energy has dissipated forefather. I am reading force bankruptcy in both ships. Moving to intercept, we should be docked in fifteen tintons ! '' Skylos said finding his voice.
'' goodness, the sooner the considerably. '' Saint Ambrose said as he watched both ships as they went darkness .
