The male was making his way toward the training area. His target was supposed to be there. ‘ Ha !'He thought 'an untrained female ?'Easy as could be he might even take over half defrayal for this one. Dressed as a palace sentry duty he thought his plan was fool proof. fountainhead he thought it was 'til he rounded a corner seeing a well aim female person training another.

looking at closer he thought he knew the female from somewhere in the past. Stopping he started to go through his memories of the union war. Still nothing came to him. Even as he watched he saw that the Old female had a skill at brand swordplay that he 'd not seen since the era of the knight of the realm.

Shaking his promontory he 'd have to reassess this mission if there was highly trail citizenry within the palace. A moment later a tall Lynx clan Male walked to the senior female. To the amazement of the male as he watched he could see that the male had the color of a for the first time knight ! Quickly retreating he shook his top dog. Yes, this was going to take definite advance planning !

Adina was trying her hardest to not get mad or discouraged. True she could now hold a sword correctly. She could swing it without getting it stick to. Hell she was even starting to be able to block several of the blows that were sent at her. Almost panting from the exertion she still couldn't see that she was any dependable. To her it felt as if they were wasting their fourth dimension training her.

Mileen could see the defeat on Adina 's brass as they had worked through the exercise. In almost a workweek now Martin Luther King Jr. Ambrose 's cousin could not only hold but yield a steel. The fact that the female 's hold had improved and she had n't lost her sword in the last two days was a definite melioration. Still Mileen thought her forte is n't improving fast enough. Thinking a mo she smiled as a thought came to her. She just hoped that Ambrose did n't get mad at her.

Finished for the day Mileen could actually start to see a bit of skill building in Adina. Taking her parenthesis she decided it was time to sing to the young female.

'' Adina, '' Mileen started. `` You are finally starting to comprehend the BASIC. You actually managed to parry several puff. I am sorry Princess that we have to push you as hard as we are. The magnate demands that you be trained as fast as possible. ''

'' Thanks Mileen, though I do n't really see any advance yet. I am giving it my all I want to make cousin Ambrose proud of me, not thinking he made a mistake making me Paladin Princess of Xendra. Disappointing him would be my bad nightmare. '' Adina replied to Mileen as they were removing their armour.

'' I highly doubt that you could do that Adina. The pride he had on his face when you took that bolt was heartfelt. I believe you are lucky Whitney Moore Young Jr. one. The fact that Saint Ambrose loves you as much as he does makes my heart glad. It has been too long since I saw him this felicitous. '' Mileen explained.

Adina was tranquillise for a yearn time lost in thought. Suddenly a smile was on her face. Then she asked, `` he loves me ? I am his first cousin, he ca n't ... ''

'' Believe me youth one when he looks at you I see the same tone that he also holds for nance Niaco, Twitty, and Gleena. I have been around a good quantity of time I know a look of love when I see it. Though I do n't retrieve that he is even cognizant of it yet. '' Laughing a here and now at the shocked spirit on Adina 's face Mileen stated. `` Though I think that he will very soon. The thing is Brigham Young one. Will you be ready for it ? ''

'' I ... I. '' Looking at Mileen Adina still wore a appall look on her side. `` Before today I would accept said yes. Now ? I am unsure. Am I sick ? I have dreamed of him being in love life with me for ages. Now he might be and I am having dubiety. Again I ask am I sick or going daft ? ''

Mileen shook her head no, `` You are growing up far loyal than you want to. The dream of love with him was a fantasy, now ? It is a very existent thing. I think that like almost any female, with the fantasy gone reality is crashing in. With everything hitting you at once it is far harder to take it all in at once. open it a few days and you will see, alright ? ''

Still a bit aghast Adina nodded her head as once again she was recondite in her thinking. `` You 're right it is a lot to take in. How in the hell can I make up one's mind ? ''

Again Mileen smiled at the young female person 's almost desperation. `` As I said young one, give it a bit of fourth dimension. Right now you are just over thinking the unscathed situation. ''

Adina was nodding hardly paying attention when it seemed as if uncloudedness hit her. A small smile lit up her lineament. `` Thank you Mileen, if it were n't for you I might make a damned fool of myself. ''

Mileen was suddenly serious as she stated, `` I wo n't let you do that Adina. We ca n't have the Paladin Princess of Xendra doing such a thing now can we ? '' Mileen smiled wide-eyed as Adina started to express mirth.

'' No ! We ca n't let that ! '' As they both broke into laugh.

Thomas was having a bad flavor, a bad feeling he usually felt in struggle. Something did n't feel right he 'd walked to his teammate letting her know to get the princess in as soon as possible. He 'd barely seen a guard by the corner of the last building, turning he 'd advanced on the smirch sword drawn.

The male had withdrawn as soon as he saw the catamount first knight talking to the female. He was nearly to the palace logic gate when he heard a shout behind him. anathemize it ! How had they found him out so fast ? He saw that he was n't going to make the gate without a conflict.

Stopping he drew his sword and awaited the Lynx male. `` I thought something was n't redress when I saw you. Identify yourself ! '' Saint Thomas growled.

growling back the male advanced trying to cleave Thomas 's head in two. Then he was shocked
when it was not only blocked but returned at almost twice the upper ! That 's when he saw the first knight vividness. Damn it ! Starting a spinning question with his sword he expected to take flight only to be shocked when the knight blocked and stopped his sword.

'' I 've only seen that motion twice ! I thought I killed both of them though it appears you got away with a standardized relocation, Not I think this time ! '' With that Thomas dived in low then reversed his thrusting motion bringing his sword up cutting the side of his resister face.

haemorrhage, Thomas 's resister smiled speaking for the first time in a rough interpreter. `` I am so beaming to see you are still animated. It will be confection when I gut your carcass. I have learned much as I see you have. '' With that St. Thomas saw his opposer call down his manus as Thomas thrust forward. Hearing a satisfying grunt as his sword made contact lens even as the grass lump went off.

Thomas felt the torso wrenched off his sword then the male was gone. Gwayne and Gregor approached at a run as Thomas started to maledict looking past the smoke. `` Damn it ! The ass got away ! ''

Gwayne and Gregor started to await over Norman Thomas at the view of the blood on him. `` Are you injured Saint Thomas ? '' They asked.

'' I 'm uninjured physically. Mentally no, I am not well. I just saw a ghost of the Talandian campaign. I thought I killed the bastard all those age ago. ''

'' A touch ? '' Gwayne asked.

'' Yes, I 'm sure you both remember the whoreson General of the Talandian force out. It was the last bloody battle I was next to king Tomco. The three of you were working your way toward us when he appeared trying to labour a sword into Tomco 's back. '' Thomas growled remembering the day. I engaged him as Tomco was decimating what was left of the troops. Though he was well skilled I thought I could defeat him easily. I was faulty, '' pulling up his pant leg Thomas revealed the recollective scrape down his leg.

'' Yeah I remember that day. You refused to leave the King 's side. He almost knocked you out to get you to will. '' Gwayne growled.

St. Thomas nodded as he continued. `` I managed to cut the bastard unresolved after he tried this spinning sword move. Even as he was falling another appeared catching me in the leg. He also used the spinning sword motion. I had been in a swing music at the second combatant when he hit me. I managed to cut his face, much as I did today. '' Bending over as the smoke was clearing Thomas picked up an ear off the ground. `` Just as I thought I 've taken both his ears now. '' Turning he looked at both Gwayne and Gregor. `` This one is mine ! I owe him a rake curse killing. I thought he died then. I caught him in the side, he 's still live and out there. ''

'' You know we have to report this ; that is unless you want to ? '' Gregor asked.

'' No I 'll do it. I just hope I can end him this time. '' Thomas spit out as he moved past both of his fellow knights toward the castle.

The male had made it to his ship bleeding profusely. A small smile on his face. So finally he could get retaliate on the bastard that had butchered his father. Laying in the healing machine he injected several medicines in his arm then fell back to let the machines study.

Thomas the doubting Apostle was breathing hard his choler still apparent. Ambrose looked up as three of his horse approached him. Nodding a mo with concern when he saw the extreme choler on Thomas's face. `` I take it something is greatly wrong ? '' Ambrose stated when they stopped in front line of him.

Thomas took a deep hint again trying to calm his self. Then through clenched teeth he started. `` Yes Sire, today I saw what I thought was a ghost. I had thought I 'd killed the traitor quants ago. It was during the Talandian Campaign with your father. '' Saint Thomas went on with the Saami tale he 'd related to Gwayne and Gregory.

Ambrose sat listening the whole time nodding as the facts rolled off Thomas 's lingua. Finally finished Thomas sighed as he waited Ambrose 's commentary. Nodding his head word Ambrose took
out a communicator, `` Roth I need you here immediately. It appears we have an even grownup danger to the realm ! ''

'' I am on the way Sire, '' came the shaken vocalisation of Roth.

Two spectons later Roth was quickly approaching Ambrose and the Knights. `` Ah ! expert your here ! doubting Thomas please relate to Roth what you told me. ''

As Norman Mattoon Thomas was going through the story a third time Roth growled when Thomas came to his gutting the two-timer. `` By the capital felid ! The false king of Talandia, Eledron ! It was a good day when that bastard died. Plus as I remember you got his son even as he sliced your leg capable. Truly a memorable day ! ''

Dylan Thomas looked at the floor with disgust. `` I failed that day, I thought I had ended the menace once and for all. Apparently the bastard son survived ! '' Thomas held out the ear Thomas had cut off the Male.

Philip Milton Roth took one look starting to growl then hiss. `` So the bastard son of Eledron survived. '' Turning toward Saint Ambrose Roth bowed then in a low growl asked, `` permission to go hunting for the bastard ! We have much to repay him for, though none more than than Thomas ! ''

Ambrose sat considering everything that he 'd heard, yes he thought a wandering hunt just might be good for Xendra. Smiling it might be effective for him also since the search with Mikos he 'd been itching to go again.

Standing Ambrose looked at all four of the knights, then spoke, `` I find this an excellent estimation. I suggest we all announce it to the major planet. A worldly concern wide hunt would do all of us effective ! ''

All four of his horse looked at Ambrose with shock then all-embracing smiles appeared. `` I agree only if I am the one to end his miserable sprightliness ! '' Thomas spit out.

Ambrose scratched his chin and whiskers thinking a moment. It was true Thomas was due a
blood expletive killing considering what the traitor had done to him. `` I believe I can agree to ... '' St. Ambrose started when a voice stopped him in mid sentence.

'' full then you will obviously have no objection to the seven of us accompanying you ? ! '' Ambrose turned a humble grinning on his face seeing all his mates standing in straw man of his paladin. Smiling far when Niaco, paw on hips, gave him a steely just try to deny us look !

'' As if I could deny any of you the pleasure of a hunt ! As I stated before I am making this a planetary hunt. Though it has to be translate no one kills him except for Seth Thomas. There is a stock oath owed ! '' Ambrose told all the females.

Mileen 's face suddenly twisted into a mask of furor. `` So ! The one who injured you. Who had you in bed for malants is still animated ! Then I also claim a blood swearword. NO ONE harms what or who is mine ! '' Mileen had drawn her threatening to walk out the door. `` You had best find him first checkmate ! I will pretend sure IT suffers greatly before I allow him to die ! '' With a bellowing she again made to walk out the door only to be grasped by Thomas.

'' grip mate ! We shall line up him together extracting the revenge that is due ! '' Lowell Jackson Thomas growled fiercely as Mileen stopped struggling looking back at Thomas.

'' Then it will be again a ripe day to deal out dying ! '' Bowing to St. Ambrose she whispered, `` I am sorry father. I did not mean to disgrace the land or you. I await your decision. ''

St. Ambrose looked at a still shocked though gallant looking Thomas. `` hero Mileen, First knight Thomas the doubting Apostle I grant you license to not only Hunt but also grant you permission to belt down him as you see fit. '' Leaning close St. Ambrose whispered to the both of them. `` As dumb as you desire. '' Straightening back up a vast smile on both their faces, Ambrose nodded.

Ambrose announced a planetary Richard Morris Hunt for a two-timer of the Talandian hunting expedition. Amid a great cheering a messenger came in with a note announcing they had found a alien ship. All of us ran as fast as we could go far in no time.

Looking around the ship I started to tail the males scent suddenly aware that that it was leading back toward the palace. Taking off as fast as I could I could finger the others not far behind me. Then I was getting a phone call from Henna.

'' forefather the castle has been breached ! We are attempting to contain him off though it appears he is advancing ! '' In the background Saint Ambrose could hear the audio of a brand battle ! With a growling Ambrose pushed harder arriving just in time to see Henna return with Mikos beside her.

The male they were fighting bowed to Ambrose then grabbed an unconscious Adrina. Leaping the last four maclons Ambrose watched the Male project a weed turkey. St. Ambrose had swung his paw feeling it connect then the sound of breaking bones.

As the smoking cleared Ambrose started to sniffle which way the Male had gone then ran out past his horse and hero. `` pursue ! The illegitimate child has Adina ! '' Then Ambrose took off even faster feeling his legs dissent.

Gleena and Twitty had gone around the construction when they had approached it to help batten the region. A moment later they saw a figure emerge with a torso over its shoulder. Following they kept as much out of mass as they could. As well skilled as this one was it might shew prudent.

The male person knew he did n't stimulate much sentence as he made his way to his ship. He was glad he 'd planted the early ship to fox them off though how had they discovered so fast. No issue he thought as he made his way to his ship. Looking around he had an unquiet touch though now that he was at his ship it did n't issue.

Twitty and Gleena were about to notify St. Ambrose when the Male entered a ship. Both slipped in just as the door closed. Shit they thought no one knew where they were ! Making their way to the ascendance elbow room they both drew their swords.

It was a moment later that they heard the Male on his com. `` Predator to king. ''

Gleena almost gasped then growl as she heard the voice of her father Conrad Nox respond. `` You are late Predator. Why should I pay you ? ''

'' What ? '' The male answered. `` You want me to take her back ? Do n't play with me king. I have a underworld of a lot more on you than you do me. Really I do n't wish about your petty little war ! Now do you want to retract what you said or should I just wrench back ? ''

'' You bastard we had a raft you ca n't ... ! '' Conrad started.

'' I CAN '' T ! ? Listen you filthy man of slop ! I could kill you easily. Just as I am sure that all four of the king's horse could. Yeah that 's right knights ! They are n't as in effect as Tonaco, though they are damn close. If anything I should demand more. I wo n't as I discovered that one of the knights is the one that slaughtered my father. I hold all the calling card if you wish to subsist and throw her delivered then I suggest you change your position damn fast ! '' The male person hissed out.

Barely able-bodied to talk Conrad Nox could only shinny a few moments. `` Alright we 'll do it your way. I reserve the rightfulness to lift ... ''

'' You know you are either far more stupid than I at first of all persuasion or you have a dying regard. I told you I hold ALL the add-in ! I could eradicate almost all your little boy troops. Keep this up and I might just for the Scheol of it. Now then I should be there in about ten spectons, you had best not believe of trying to surprise me. You would n't care the end results ! '' The Male growled at Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski.

Clenching his teeth Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski snapped his sassing shut. The male person was lying he could probably pass over out all his military personnel if he tried concentrated enough. Smiling a moment Joseph Conrad decided he could live with a few contumely ... for now !
