Alan could hear Hopix calling him, damn, she was so far away ! Fighting with every fiber of his being, Alan started to claw his way to the surface. Finally he opened his centre seeing a feeling of love and worry on Hopix 's font.


'' Alan my love you need to booze this, you are far too weak, please my love. '' Hopix held a cup with a foul smelling brew in it. ‘ I 've smelled that before,'Alan thought, ‘ when was it ? Ah yes back when he 'd been on the Fairixie 's sister world.'Alan tried to toast it as fast as he could ; again not realizing that one could n't swallow the concoction as fast as he was trying. Coughing and sputtering Alan was gasping for breath as the repellent aroma of it surrounded him.


Barely in a whisper Alan told Hopix, `` My god woman it 's still as bad as it was before ! '' Hopix smiled, Alan complaining meant that the brew was already coursing through his torso helping to tone it.


'' Alan, please do n't go off alone like that again. I was assigned to facilitate you for a rationality, you might cause quite a lot of knowledge, but you do n't have it away it all. '' Hopix admonished him her slender script on her hip as she gently wiped the excess from his sassing.


Again starting in a whisper but growing secure Alan told her, `` Hopix my dear I realize this but you have to realize that if I was to fall behind you I might go insane, or worse killing everything in my way 'til I calmed. I do not need to put you in damage 's way like that. ''


'' Alan Glanto ! If you were n't as weak as you were right now, I might have to, as you humans say on your satellite, kick back your ass ! '' Alan could swear there was steam coming from Hopix 's ears.


Holding his arm and hands up in security, Alan did n't doubt she could kick his ass ! There was no way that he could ever hurt her. `` My love life I was only thinking of protecting you, I ... '' Alan started.


Hopix stood up with now both her bridge player on her hips a spirit of anger that actually had Alan shaking. `` I was YOUR protector BEFORE you became as potent as you have. I am a lot onetime than you, I have been dealing with glowering mages far recollective than you think. Shut me out of doing MY JOB again and YOU will found out just how light I am NOT ! '' Alan was staring at Hopix a new respect for her in his eyes.


'' I promise you I will not exclude you ever again my dearest. '' Alan told her a rebuff smile on his face. `` You can kibosh right now old man I am sure enough inkling will have quite an castigation for you when we return. ''


Merlin had tried not to, truly he had, but he 'd finally started to laugh. It was hard to tell who was the more fierce Hopix or Alan, though at the consequence it appeared to be Hopix.


Hopix turned and coldly stared at Merlin who started into an even harder express mirth fit. `` I will deal with the both of you later ! '' Hopix growled as she marched out of the room.


'' To suffice your question, yes, gleaming was that fierce, always in her sexual love, her pity and yes, also her temper. I am storm this is the first time you have seen it, at to the lowest degree you know what to gestate. I was caught off guard the first clock time after I was married to gleam. '' Merlin told Alan who was watching as Hopix 's form retreated into the other room.


'' I have to ask you Merlin you have survived a long time with little or no major power. I used the porta sphere to get nine of the last seventeen. I also got one that was trying to make me to another reality ; that leaves seven. I am afraid that these terminal seven wo n't band together nor onslaught when another is fighting me. With all the tricks you have I need avail getting them. I want this over, so I can pack you and Hopix back home to the Fairixie human beings. '' Alan told pigeon hawk feeling he was almost at the end of his rope with these imbecile on this humanity.


'' I do have a few tricks but I think there are a few things that I need for you to ascertain. But the way you are in good order now, almost the stallion major planet can palpate you coming. I think that is where we need to start then I can possibly help you with a few thing that might aid. '' Falco columbarius smiled it had been a hanker metre since he 'd had anything like a student it felt full, damn good !


Alan gave an aggravate yell as he 'd failed again to do exactly what Falco columbarius had shown him. `` Damn it Merlin I have been full moon tilt the unanimous sentence I have been doing this. How in the pit do you look me to tune up it down ? ''


'' Son, I am into the richly levels now and I can do this, so I know it 's possible. Here 's something that might help. Take a deep breathing place and as you let it out feel the ability decrease in you, that 's it another breath let your eubstance relax let all the tautness flow out of you. As you do this you 'll feel you business leader point start to unload, there you go better, effective. See ? It was n't that hard now was it ? `` Merlin told Alan with a vast smile.


Alan 's eyes snapped spread out his point were so low it was insubstantial, staying as calm as he could Alan could feel his point even out but they stayed low. `` This is amazing I never thought I could make them this low. ''


'' Well to you they're low, to me they are in the mid mountain range, but you are getting there. Compared to where you really are this is a major skill. Now then let 's solve on a few Sir Thomas More before we rest ok ? '' Alan nodded he was extremely beaming he 'd asked Merlin to help.


It was two days later that across the planet two of the remaining seven dark mages received a summons to the home of a 3rd. The third was an ally of the first two and had mentioned a plan to put down the whitened mage that could n't go. When the one-third mention a meal of a Fairixie ; namely the one with the gabardine mage they jumped at the chance.


Outside what could only be described as a murky swamp with a tumbling down shack in the center the two dark mages appeared. '' Trigafor ! We are here ! Where is this repast that you promised us ? '' The improbable of the two called reaching out he could finger the third base but something strange was going on. Neither felt any early mage or power anywhere near, suddenly Alan appeared with pigeon hawk and Hopix.


'' So I see you came as I asked, '' Alan told them as they both discovered that they could n't leave behind let unequalled move. Alan waved his hired man and the third appeared a look of utmost anger on its case.


'' You are an ass white mage ! Release me ! I will eat all of your someone before ... '' Alan sighed and clapped his mitt as the thirdly screamed and was a flirt pool of flesh, rake, and bone. Alan was turning toward the first two when one actually broke discharge of the trance that was holding him.


'' Not so be intimate powerful are you holler ? '' The one that got lose snarled shooting a freeze tour of his own that hit Alan in his left arm. Cursing when the Tall putrid smelling human shape wickedness mage started to laugh, Alan quickly shot another paralyzing spell toward it. Laughing again the dark mage side stepped the spell. Smiling Alan increased his shield then shot more piece toward the dark mage. `` Damn ! Here I thought you were this all powerful white mage ! ''


Alan started to smile even bighearted making the dark mage tempestuous, shaking his brain Alan watched as his first three enchantment returned. Outraged the dark mage stopped a moment then whipped around just as the first trance froze him firm. Alan breathed a suspiration of relief as the next shattered the frigid flesh.


The last struggled also breaking free though this meter Alan was prepare and fried the dark mage as he was making a relocation toward Alan. Alan shook his arm as he felt the feeling get-go to retrovert to it.


'' Nice move getting hit to cook the changeling out ! '' The now companion interpreter of the benighted council champion could be heard behind Alan. `` I am so ready to fight you ! precipitation up and vote out the last four, then I can have an actual battle with a worthy opposition. Here something to hold you warm. '' With that the champion left and sent a fireball at least twelve ft highschool toward Alan.


Alan felt this was different so he sent Merlin and Hopix a niggling ways off. Erecting a magical body of water barrier Alan knew it was n't enough but it would weaken it enough for him to crush it. As he thought the roadblock cut it by one-half then it was moving his way again. Slapping his hands together Alan felt the fireball hesitate still trying to reach him. Alan put more and more into it 'til he was as gamey as he could go then he felt the fireball falter and flame out.


Damn Alan thought that was exhausting, there was a sudden rush of air, and then the light council was there before him. `` You have done a most wonderful job Alan, of the 100 night mages and well over 300 apprentices that were here. There are only four shadow mages left. Know this Alan though we can now come and go from here freely we still can not interfere. We are sorry but as per the rules that were set down by both you and the dark council this is all we can do. You should also have sex that this is all the dismal council can also do. '' Alan nodded to the loss leader of the weak council then they were gone.


Both Hopix and merlin appeared a mo later, merlin had wanted null to do with the council especially now that he had as much magnate as he did. `` I want to give thanks you both for coming with me ; I think I should go after another if you two are up for it ? '' Alan told them both.


'' blaze yeah, I 'm game, '' merlin told Alan.


Hopix was looking Alan all over making sure he was alright. `` You sure you shook the entire turn off that the sorry mage hit you with ? '' She was asking looking even harder at his arm, mitt, and shoulder.


Alan leaned down to where she was knack looking at his leg and running her bridge player up and down then. ‘ darn !'Alan thought, ‘ her touch sensation is about to labor me nuts !'Grabbing both her hands sent a blow through both of them as Alan pulled her up to his level. `` I have already checked myself, I am not seeing any of the DOE left on or in me from the dreary mage ok ? ''


Breathing a sigh of relief Hopix looked straight into Alan 's eyes a smell of zilch but honey there. `` I have to pull in surely my husband, '' here she reached over and gently rubbed his privates. `` I have to make sure that you will be able to help me give birth children ! My mom wants to be a grandmother as she has always wanted to be. I have to keep you goodish my love life. '' Hopix demurely said.


Alan was on pins and needle Hopix 's tinge on his fork had damned near made him pass out ! What in the Scheol was going on ? Alan looked over at Merlin who was nodding his top dog and had a vast grin on his face. Alan was sure now more than he had before, there must be something extremely particular about a marriage

between a human and a Fairixie. If her excess loving trace just now was any indication, he was in for a hell of a ride that was for certainly.


Alan could hardly run after she let go with a little giggle, then he made his self motility, they had to end this and soon ! Hopix was going to drive him crazy at this charge per unit as he was sure he was her. Taking a mysterious breather Alan nodded to both of them then they all flashed out. A few miles away they appeared near a waterfall, the position was beautiful or was it ? Alan concentrated the place changed to a smog filled, polluted water, twisted and dying corner sphere.


'' So you have come to face one of the substantial. I relish it there are so few to destroy now that bring true pleasure, come ! '' A rolling part came from the dark water. Then a wight that seemed to be made of the filth of the station rose up from the sludge.


Alan made a half hearted fireball that was extinguished in a second. Suddenly the brute rose higher then fell upon Alan effectively covering him. Under the stain and muck Alan could see that this one was trying the same that the heater creature. Alan sent first a freezing spell but saw it was ineffective, hmmm he thought. Suddenly an estimation hit him as Alan began to flip-flop his piece cold, water, estrus, and electricity.


At world-class nothing happened, then there was a roaring scream then the intact tool started to tremble. Finally a immense hole broke open in movement of Alan that was rapidly moving away from the hole that he 'd made. Screaming the puppet reached out, and touched the foul water and was whole again. Screaming again it started to twine around Alan 's shield. Alan just nodded and concentrated as he and the puppet arose from the primer coat.


Within moments they were high above the planet, `` I was wondering if the vile pocket billiards was keeping you alive now we will see ! '' Alan smiled as the creature turned and was at a loss as to where they were. Alan again hit it with the four spells in succession. This time the muck started to dry and indurate, with a finish scream Alan pushed out and the beast exploded off him.


Appearing succeeding to Merlin and Hopix Alan told them, `` I suggest we move, what 's entrust of it is coming this way at a high speed. '' Both of them nodded then they were standing a ways off, within import it appeared to be raining mud. `` Well that leaves three. What say we ... '' Suddenly there was a monolithic wafture of water moving toward them. Alan sighed they never learned did they ?


Alan set up a freezing roadblock but he felt it would n't net, the worse matter was these last four had used up quite a bit of his powerfulness. Alan looked at Merlin shaking his headspring, letting the man know he was a little used up. Merlin nodded back, opened his own gumption, and gave Alan as lots of his baron as he could. Alan was surprised that pigeon hawk had as much power as he did.


Alan recharged, watched as pigeon hawk smiled then promptly passed out. A slight wicked grin crossed his fount as Alan suddenly increased the shield and started to take the air toward the dark mage controlling this.


'' It is of no matter Alan Glanto ! I have felt your power waver, I know of your stored reserves they should be almost exhausted by now. '' Alan heard a voice thundering at him.


Alan smiled he had a lilliputian surprise for this ass ! Still advancing Alan suddenly increased the freezing outcome hearing the dour mage scream as he tried to get the best Alan 's attack. `` Now you die ! '' Alan yelled at the mage.


'' No ! Your power was exhausted you had nothing Noooooooooooooo ! ! ! ! '' with a final shrieking the dark mage was silent. Alan reached out not feeling that much from it, looking around the buckler Alan saw the water mage was quick-frozen substantial. Alan took a rock shattering the column of ice.


Grabbing Hopix and the unconscious mind Merlin, Alan thought of the sanctuary. Three exercise set of optic had watched this last struggle of Alan. They too had thought that Alan was finished then he suddenly had an abundance of business leader. The three strongest mages on the planet were more curious than a good deal else. The champion was half tempted to kill the last two dark mages so he and Alan could finally feature the conflict he was waiting a thousand twelvemonth for. Shaking his head even he had to fall out the rules of the dark council. Oh well the maven thought as he flashed out.


The stopping point two dark mages knew that Alan was coming for them next, their dark partner was n't that far below either of them. They were going to have to set a bunker it was the only way either of them were going to survive. They both agreed and left to set everything up to hopefully pop Alan Glanto long before he did them.


mug ! The supporter thought as he watched the net two flash out then the champion smiled. They were playing right into Alan 's hands the way the champ had seen him do things those two should be numb in a couple of Clarence Shepard Day Jr.. Well, he thought with a sickening look of delight on his face we can trust ca n't we ?


Alan, Hopix, and an unconscious Merlin appeared at the front of the sanctuary. Several Lobrits appeared helping to carry Falco columbarius inside. It 's a salutary thing Alan thought, as all the vitality Merlin had given him was suddenly gone. Alan collapsed against the open doorway ineffective to go another pace. Hopix had gone ahead and turned to evidence Alan something when she saw he was n't with her.


running play back to the entering she found Alan trying to move further inside the entrance way. `` Alan my erotic love what 's wrong ? '' A apprehensive Hopix asked.


'' The energy was n't mine I was only borrowing it, once what I had to do was finished, it went back to its owner. I am not a morose mage I do not contain and keep back energy that is n't mine. '' Alan gasped out as he tried to strike another two stride. He really did n't want the room access open putting the Lobrits in danger.


Hopix started to yell as several more Lobrits came up the corridor and helped Alan to run further inside. Sighing Alan was glad as he watched the door close. These people were n't the peachy but the still deserved a chance like everyone did. They barely got Alan in his cot when his middle started to close.


'' Thank you Merlin, that was unsafe. I am far higher than you ; my body could give taken Sir Thomas More than it did. '' Alan told a now awake though slightly sapless pigeon hawk.


'' I know my boy it 's ok, as I told you before I have more deception than you know. Now sleep we have a busybodied few daytime coming up. '' Here Merlin looked at a occupy Hopix, `` both of us. '' Alan nodded then surrendered to the darkness that had been creeping up on him.


Merlin motioned for Hopix to join him a mo. `` Yes, '' she asked when she caught up to him at the back of the sanctuary.


'' My honey I have a word of advice, '' here Falco columbarius reached into a pocket and withdrew a third power not unlike the two that Hopix and Alan had.


The block flashed a moment, and then a set of lightness appeared in figurehead of Hopix. `` Hello my dear, '' Came the vocalism of Queen intimation. `` I have watched all that I could. Hopix you have to separate him, you know the danger if you do n't. You may be afraid that he will impart you now, but if you wait it will be a disaster. Are you that anxious to die ? After all that your mother went through saving the both of you, you are going to let this one arcanum pop the both of you ? ''


'' I ... I ca n't, not yet, it would be too big of a distraction to him. I am afraid that it would get him killed. '' Hopix stated as rip began to come down from her middle.


The queen 's face softened as she looked at Merlin the commencement estimable face she 'd had of him in a very long time. `` I had thought the same thing though in Falco columbarius 's case it turned out to be a bigger get-up-and-go. He tried to free all of the enslaved people. Then our world fell betrayed. Hopix tell him or you and many others will die. Your blood brother is still waiting to get married 'til he knows you are rubber. ''


'' I know my female monarch I will try but not 'til this is over, if it would help Alan I would tell him. I wo n't here 'til I feel this. '' A tearful Hopix replied.


'' Alright my dear but there is far Sir Thomas More than just you and Alan to consider. My love I have waited for you for so long you would be lofty of you daughter Glimix she was so brave when Alan was rescuing our human race I was so terrified. I had thought of using Glimix to veil in to protect the spirit of our the great unwashed, and then I thought of Hopix. '' intimation was telling Merlin.


Merlin had tears in his eyes he had n't seen Glimmer in so long. The bond was there just as unassailable but they were so far apart it hurt in a way that Merlin had never felt. `` It was the scoop option that you could make my sexual love I am glad that Alan saved you and the mass, so happy. I owe this man far more than I can ever give back, though I 'll try. ''


Hopix also had rent in her centre everything might end in the next few days. It was all up to Alan as it had always been. She just hoped that Alan took the news better than she thought he might. Taking a suspire she shrugged, Alan had reacted far differently than she thought he would quite a few times.


Merlin shook his chief at something intimation said. ‘ Yes,'he thought ‘ gleam was a underworld of a lot better judge of a person than almost anyone he knew was. Yes,'he thought again, ‘ it just might ferment ! ’
