As I walked out of benny 's edifice then started toward home, I noticed that not a single troll got anywhere near me. Looking at the many, about to kill their selves to get out of my way, actually made me find a hell on earth of a lot better. I just had to get my levels higher, I mean 5 floor was damn undecomposed I 'd say I was 3 past the most right on the council but knowing Cedrick he 'd upped at to the lowest degree 20 levels in 200 years I was 1 higher than him then, so he was 19 then I did 5 so I had 14 more to go and not a lot of meter to do it in.

I 'd finished my exercises going up now 6 3/4 more than when I started a few days ago. Now at least I could stop him a bit maybe even hurt him enough for him to have to lay low and heal but I needed to go higher if I even wanted a slight chance to endure. Sighing I knew that I 'd own to put more on the buckler again. Maybe gain a few to a greater extent 24-hour interval but I could n't keep it going up or he 'd catch on, give out free sooner, then, I was dead for sure as about of the macrocosm was. The hard thing right now was the fact that even with the bounties removed from my head there were still a lot of hot snap Lester Willis Young being and creatures out there thinking I was an easy marking.

I guess I was going to have to lay down an deterrent example of individual to get them all off my neck opening 'til I had dealt with Cedric. Though I was n't really in a killing mood I knew it was going to pack something like that to get these idiot to back off. Oh certainly the death of the trolling had helped quite a bit, but the inviolable one were going to get a lot more brazen if I did n't nip it in the buttocks, real quick. I was headed to a really bad function of town, I guess I 'd better get this over with. The toughest I knew of was down here in this cesspool somewhere all I really had to do was ..., diving out of the way of a flaming musket ball, I smiled. Well that was quick, standing I put up a buckler and started to take the air toward my quarry. I could see his center get larger as his fireballs bounced off me.

I had to fourth dimension this rightfulness, `` heard you were after me piss head. '' I shouted gaining quite a lot of attending.

'' Yeah, heard you took the amplitude off yourself but HE is still offering a bigger one, I aim to take in. '' He hissed at me.

'' You obviously have n't looked at my power, '' I smiled as he stared at me then his rim started to quake.

'' 6 almost 7 levels higher ? ! It 's a lie ! '' He shouted. Waving my hand I did n't even try as I disintegrated him to dust with just a wave of my hired hand. There was a monolithic screaming and running away from me. Good I thought this ought to get around really flying always did down here.

I waited I knew the council would be there soon I 'd stimulate to explicate what I had done and why. Sure enough the council was there within 3 minutes hmmm, record time for them. Looking around I saw the council leader and my champion were conferring.
'' Tyrome Greenstick what is the meaning of this ? ''

the younger members started to necessitate. Taking a breath I just this hoped this worked the way that I hoped it would. `` I had 4 bounties on my head ; those fortunately for their claimers have been negated. It was then that I found out that Ced.., he had put one out on me. I came here to talk to that pisshead ; he thought he could kill me and get the premium. '' I told them.

'' He put a amplitude on you ? Is he that confident that he can break the barrier ? '' Many of them asked.

'' Yes, not only that but he has far surpassed the story the council was at when it was erected. I 'd estimate he is 20 levels higher now than he was then, I have no dubiousness he will be free soon. '' I told them all shaking a bit to emphasize just how strong he 'd buzz off.

They all talked for a minute then the leader spoke. `` Tyrome you are hereby authorized to go up as far as necessary to battle this immorality that is almost upon us. ''

obeisance I said, `` I will do the best I can as I always have for the council, even though some members are more stubborn than to the highest degree, '' here I looked at Cloe her rim drawn back in an almost feral growling.

Chuckling a moment I continued to stare at her 'til the council thanked me for the warning and left. Shaking my head I decided I had to rule out just what in the hell Cloe had against men, me in finicky. I had a little time before I had to go back nursing home so I decided to take the air around a bit. It had been a while since I 'd been to the poor end of the chief magic attribute. I 'd gone maybe a block when several young mages stepped out, blocking my route.

'' Hey asshole ! '' The apparent loss leader of the grouping said. `` That was my father and though he was a objet d'art of horseshit, he was still my father. '' Nodding I looked a small harder, yeah I could see the complete ugliness of the father in him.

'' I advise you to back off and forget, I am far more herculean than you think. I did n't even use my wide-cut power against him. Then again if you want to be a dark stain on the ground bring it on. '' I told him, I was n't in the just of mood after all the shit I had been dealing with. When the residuum of the bunch ran off when I started to might up, I realized that this little shit had a decease wish. I had just raised my hand to freeze him when a bolt from behind me struck him effectively freezing him.

looking back I saw the elder 's son ah shit ! I really did n't need him here right now. All I could consider of was if he got killed his old man would be after my ass for a piece, hell I did n't even need to mean of his female parent.

'' What in the hell are you doing down here, '' I shouted at him.

Smirking he then smiled, `` I have uh ... frailty as I am sure you do, '' the footling shite said looking my up and down. Yeah I had them, pretty deuced piteous too could n't get laid in a exempt fancy woman house with all of them wanting any man. Chuckling I waited to see what the boy was going to do. When he did n't move I just shook my promontory, so he was just helping me, damn it ! It was a sure enough tinker's dam fervour way to get your ass killed. I 'd have to kick his ass later ; right now I had to deal with piss promontory 's son. I knew he could n't really suffer me let alone even touch me, but I had to cool this idiot off BEFORE I had to kill him. I saw that the retard was still trying to separate costless, not a salutary thought right now.

Walking up to him I whispered in his ear. `` I 'm going to let you go, I know you are the last of his line, my tycoon is various point higher. I could kill you very easily, do n't work me have too ! ''

The immature man 's eyes grew wide when he felt my power as I was leaning close to him. Vigorously he shook his head, looking at him a last time I gave him a stern look then unfroze him. do it to say that the man did n't gravel saying arrivederci as he high tailed it out of there. Chuckling Tyrome watched him go, turning he thought again about blasting the senior 's son but thought better of it, he have to teach him that you follow up on what you do.

Tyrome knew it was more his fault than the elder 's son after all he did n't know, yet. Had he known, Tyrome really would be kicking the young man 's ass all over, oh well live and determine.

'' Thanks, '' Tyrome started, `` you reminded me that, I have to start teaching all of you about following up on what you do when you freeze or knock out am opponent. ''

The young man groaned great, even in the streets the man was teaching geez ! `` Uh, you're welcome ? ''

Chuckling at the perplex Cy Young man Tyrome said, `` it 's alright, all of you need to acquire, not following up is another thing that can get you killed or worse real quick. ''

'' Worse ? The young man asked.

'' Later this week it might give you nightmares, go enjoy as tomorrow is a day off. '' Tyrome told him.

A wide smile then smile counterpane across the Young man 's face, `` Good I will make time to do Sir Thomas More than just pop in, on and in her ! ''

Tyrome watched the young man flash out, damn he thought must be veridical nice to have a steady small-arm of ass. Sighing Tyrome thought of Cloe, I have to do something soon or she 's going to break, even as bad of a bitch as she was, he still could n't do that to her. Flashing back to his office he might as well let Celina know about tomorrow, before she starts to get distressed and calls the council worried. Stepping up to the outer office doorway I could hear low-key part, a moment later

I heard Celina scream. `` I said bitch, where is he ! ! ! ? '' a male voice was yelling. I thought for a moment that Celina should be able to handle him, should that is, 'til I heard several early males laughing. I was afraid that this might have happened though I was expecting it, I was n't this soon. Again I heard Celina wow then a thunderbolt flew with respective of the Male yelling.

'' He 's not here ! I can not open his office when he is n't here ! '' I heard her saying. Good girl I thought. That 's when they really pissed me off. I heard Celina scream again then I heard her start to choke, like a mitt around her throat. I could feel my power head start to mount you could come after me but you left MY women alone.

My power started to flare up when I heard one of the other part yell that there was someone extremely powerful coming. Pointing at the threshold, I watched as it exploded then the whole wall just disappeared. Ah ! I see there were 10 of them.

'' I suggest you let her go before I just kill you in as painful a way as I can. '' I calmly said between clenched tooth.

Laughing the one holding her said, `` for sure you want her seminal fluid and ..., '' he grabbed his throat starting to choke, his heart encompassing when he realized there was nothing he could do to stop me.

'' Since the eternal rest of you did n't bear on her I will provide you to leave with a limp, slew with me and you wo n't be able to eat solid food for a long clip ! '' Pointing I took Celina out of their grip, placing her in another room, I turned back my ira starting to build. I guess I was going to have to drink down a few of them to get my compass point across. `` So who wants to die first ? '' I ground out between my clenched teeth.

That 's when things went a fiddling crazy, the leader screamed, `` Get him ! He does n't feature the power to take all of us ! ''

'' Wan na bet ! ? '' I said.

They at first tried to surround me, tossing the leader against the rampart I watched him slump unconscious.

'' Alright, last opportunity, '' I growled, `` hitch and not eat well for a patch, leave and I 'll over appear it. '' Here my skin started to burn as did my heart.

That's all it took for 5 of them as they scattered out the door the utmost 4 ? Well, it was n't pretty, freezing all of them I first removed all their tooth, and then grew 3/4 of their lip closed. I made sure their sex was contract and unresponsive to anything, I broke both branch and subdivision. Lining them up against the wall I screamed for the council as soon as they appeared they tried to calm me seeing that my power was manifesting it 's self physically. Pointing to the 4 on the paries I growled.

'' take in this food waste out before I have to incinerate it here ! This one, '' I smacked him as hard as I could rattling his dentition, `` is of no headache as he is dead ! ''

The man looked up wild eyed, looking at each of the council his eyes begging.

'' You should make looked at the man further before you decided to attack him, '' I heard Cloe say, looking at her I could see that what she was saying was genuine.

wellspring I 'll be damned I thought wonder what has changed in her to allow this ? The council all bowed to converse, a few mo later they looked up at the leader of the 10 men.

'' Tikon Propal, this council hereby approves your execution of instrument, the direction attacking a being of less magnate, employed by an agent of the council. Attacking a facility set up by the council. The last attacking an agent of the council, though it is n't well known Tyrome still works directly for the council, sentence to be carried out IMMEDIATELY ! '' The elderberry bush shouted to underscore the point.

I could only half smile the fad somewhat less thanks to Cloe. Grabbing the struggling man we all flashed out to the midpoint of the master legerdemain kingdom. The Elder quickly repeated what he 'd said before then looked at me.

I heard respective scream as I first lit the man on fire, then waved my hand as I let the fervency slowly consume him. I figured it would necessitate an hour for him to die ; maybe more I did n't care. Growling at the council, I flashed out.
Arriving back in my office I went to see Celina.

'' Are they gone ? '' She asked her tear stained face looking up at me. My heart melted, all the fury was gone, I sat her in a chair and wrapped a blanket around her, hoping it would help stop the shivering she was doing. A moment later Cloe showed up watching me.

`` Do you need anything else ? I asked Celina.

'' No sir, '' she mumbled as more bust started, `` I am sorry I failed you sir, I thought I could palm them. ''

Stooping I gently tilted her face toward mine, `` No Celina, you did n't fail me, I failed you. '' the looking at of daze on her grimace had me nodding yes. `` Had I prepared you more, then you might have stood a better prospect, though I have to say you did hold them off long enough for me to act. I am proud of you, do n't shake your head no, yes I am. When you are prepare you can total back you will always take in a job here. ''

Celina 's face lit up the for the first time grinning that I 'd seen on her face that actually reached her oculus was plastered to her face.

'' You should think him, as I have found out he is an honorable man. '' I heard Cloe behind me, we both looked at her an genuine smile was on her backtalk. `` He does keep his word, unlike so many that I have met, trust me if he says it, he will do his best to puddle it go on. ''

Ok, I must have had a shocked flavour on my face as Cloe started to giggle as did Celina joining in. Sighing I let it pass thinking about it I bet I did look funny as I too started to chuckle a bit.

'' I want you to go home Celina, I do n't want you near the post or the school 'til you are ready, yes you 'll get paid. '' Again Celina 's brass lit up hugging me, I was afraid that the conditioning might be thrown out of whack or her hero worship might kick in again.

'' Thank you, '' she said. Then she stood up and handed me her keys.

Shocked a minute I shook my caput no, `` they are keyed to you only, as I said, you can come back when you 're prepare, if you do n't get the Key then how can you ? '' I asked.

Her oculus got wide then she nodded and smiled waving her hand she vanished.

'' That was a very effective thing you did Tyrome Greenstick, to the highest degree would suffer fired her on the bit or tried to dishonour her. Yes, I know all about you and her, about your design to get hitched with her. Then you finding out that she was as bad as she was. It ripped your heart out ; I imagine you threw yourself into work, trying to get killed did n't you ? ''
When I did n't answer she nodded, `` I thought so, and my god Tyrome how did you not end up like me ? ''

I could only stare at her, end up like her ? `` What they hell are you talking about ? '' I asked.

Sighing she shook her head, `` you really know zip about me, though ; I am starting to watch a few things about you I never knew before. I was bounty Hunter for a shortstop sentence. ''

I looked at her like she had lost her mind. `` How ? '' I asked, `` You have to be trained and certified by the council I would have ... ''

Putting a finger's breadth to my lips she quieted me, `` not if you took on the identity of one already established. I am sure you remember John Tyler Milton ? ''

I turned away from her, yes I remembered the only partner I 'd ever had, and yes I remembered it all.

'' Yes I remember him ; he was the close existent friend I had. ''

'' He was my father, I have hated you for so foresightful Tyrome, a hatred that has eaten at me every day of my living. I vowed the day I heard he died and you disappeared that I would get 'til I could kill you. I thought you had lied, that you had killed him. I assumed his identity searching for you, increasing my power but I could never surpass you. ''

I hung my header the nighttime of President Tyler 's death had changed me, I could never forgive myself, still had n't not sure if I ever could.

Still with my head hung I tried to do her, `` He was a sound man, a damn fine partner, I can never forgive myself for what happened that Nox. ''

'' I know that now, I have never met a mage as honorable as you, if I knew my father right, he was as proud to be your better half as you were to be his. '' Cloe said tears falling from her eyes.
Taking a deep breather she continued, `` as I said I have hated you for so recollective it made me stronger, when I was offered the job as council phallus I took it without faltering. I wanted to see you break down to be taken out by the one thing you seemed to be goodness out. No affair how bad I was to you, you always followed the rules did what was rightfulness, it really pissed me off. Here I thought you were this double-dealing, thoughtless, unfeeling bastard. Tyrome, '' here she bowed her head, `` I was wrong. ''

I was in jolt John Tyler 's daughter ? OMG ! How I had missed him, there had been no finer mage I ever met, little did Cloe know but I had modeled myself after him. Every day I did what was right the way I knew he would have, though today he might frown a bit, I was a bit myself. Sighing I made up my mind, `` Cloe Tilton, I do hereby re ... ''

'' No !, '' she yelled suddenly. `` I am yours, please do not loose me ! '' I stared into her eyes looking to see if the conditioning the MD had installed was back, all I saw was an ardent satinpod.

`` Why ? What you did was your right, I almost died myself when he was killed. It should have been me, he took the blast, '' tears began to fall down unashamedly from my middle, the computer storage still fresh in my mind.

Cloe was shocked, then came to hold me as the bust would n't hold on all over again I was reliving that night, I had seen the man warning Tyler, when the man had turned and fired at me, I had erected shields but they would n't be enough. Then Tyler was screaming at me to locomote diving event I felt the first skip part me but the moment was going to hit. It seemed out of nowhere President Tyler came flying in strawman of me taking the full brunt of the gust. Enraged I froze the man to his and my shock. Kneeling I tried to heal Tyler but he refused.

'' No kid, it is my time, you take up the mantle, here take this. ''
He weakly handed me a superstar shaped pendant.
'' One day when you meet my furious daughter, contribute this to her and recite her I was proud of her. Tell her that I love her and that I am no-good that I did n't make it home. ''

'' What ? ! NO ! President Tyler no, damn it NO ! ! ! ! ! '' I had screamed as he expired in presence of me. Cloe was staring at me ; the words I had spoken word for word seemed to send her into jolt.

`` I thought he did n't care, '' she whispered, `` I thought he got killed for nothing. ''

Looking up at me she could see that I was a crash. It had been so long since I had dredged up the storage. Reaching in my shirt I removed the asterisk chandelier from around my cervix, placing around Cloe 's neck I could finally let President Tyler go, his last postulation done. We both sat there on the floor, neither of us talking or moving,

Cloe was fingering the pendant. Whispering she told me, `` thank you for honoring my father and his in conclusion postulation, finally I know and I can let go of the hate that has festered in me for so hanker. '' She stood walking to me, wrapping her arms around me. She whispered in my ear, `` I think Father would O.K. of us being together I almost palpate he expected it. ''

Nodding I looked up into her middle, there was no hatred, nowhere near the measure of hurting I had seen there. What I saw was something I had n't seen in a very, very recollective prison term, simply put have intercourse. scandalise a bit I thought how could she enjoy me ?

Again she whispered, `` Yes I love you, I 'll be at home waiting for you. '' Here she smiled, I nodded waving my hand over her smiling, I hope she enjoyed .
