Ben appeared in a peculiar room that had been prepared ten years ago for Jonathan, sighing Ben thought all this time, this would have been over a decade ago if Jonathan was n't as stubborn as Ben 's brother had been. Checking the boy, Ben was sure he was still out, but shaking his head he was n't certain they had that much time Jonathan was far stronger than he at first appeared. Finally the rest of the council appeared sealing the room, Ben actually crossed his fingers laughing at his human wise-tale, but hey anything that worked. Sure enough not ten minute later Jonathan awoke wearing a look of blow which quickly turned to a snarling rage.

'' You really think you can curb me Ben ? Though I have to intromit, this is indeed a good sand trap you obviously do n't recognise just how strong my power has grown. ``

Ben only nodded almost afraid to speak, the boy was right no one really realized except him, turning he advised the council of this. Almost immediately they increased the power of the room, Jonathan could only smile at to the lowest degree they were taking this seriously. Jonathan sat in the marrow of the room and closed his eyes, Ben was n't fooled and told the council they needed to hurry, the boy was building up. For an hour the council took readings learning far more than they had in unnumberable 100 before. From all they got almost anyone could access code the furious magic, with a serious amount of concentration, Jonathan needed nothing like that as it came to him naturally. The only problem with the gaga illusion was it often burned out the user 's mind with over use and no control. As Ben suspected Jonathan had almost complete ascendence over it, learning the locks over the last few hundred years.

binding at the keep Lana was finally on her ft, getting ready to go out she was stopped at the door by a simper Trina, `` I have to go domicile, I have to witness Jonathan ! '' Lana said as she tried to move past Trina.

'' I 'm afraid I ca n't let you go Lana, if what female parent and I felt is true up you 'll get to stay human for a while longer ! '' Trina exclaimed excited.

'' Huh ? '' Lana started, `` what are you talking about ? ``

With a huge grin Trina placed a hand on Lana 's tum, `` I 'm talking about this here, '' Trina gently massaged Lana 's stomach. `` We ca n't take you hurting yourself, plus you need to stay human being for at least a week. ``

Lana still confused could only stare at her best friend Trina, still it had n't dawned on her what Trina meant.

'' I think what she means Lana my beloved, is that you are significant, '' came a phonation behind both of the women.

Still wearing a flavour of confusion it slowly dawned on Lana, just what the voice had said. Then a sly and truly felicitous smile began to disperse across her face.

'' He warned me that I might be, I had n't thought of it at the time but if I am then I can truly be glad. '' Lana said almost in a whispering. `` I have to enjoin my female parent ! She has to know ! I have to go and ... ''

'' I can recite her Lana, '' Evelyn said walking up behind Lana, `` you need to lie, the succeeding few week are going to be hard on you. ``

Lana just nodded going back to the bed, an even bigger smile on her face, she was carrying Jonathan 's baby !

ma'am Vishnew was going over finances, she 'd missed her daughter the last ten years she 'd just closed her book when she received a thought.

< Vish ? It 's Evelyn. > Came the thought.

< Yes Evelyn, is everything well there ? > Lady Vishnew replied.

< I need you to make out over here I can bring you but it must be just you that knows, do n't tell Vidon. > Evelyn instructed.

< Give me an hour then get hold of me, > Lady Vishnew said.

It was barely an hour later that Lady Vishnew appeared in the way with Evelyn and Trina Timmins, and someone on the bed. gentlewoman Vishnew 's sassing dropped open, Lana ! Throwing her arms around her daughter rightful teardrop of happiness began to flow from her eyes tears that been held back for over ten years now.

Evelyn and Trina left the way ; it was more Lana 's place to tell her mother than them. They 'd only been in the hall for a few minutes when they heard Lady Vishnew cry, looking in they saw that Lana and her mother were hugging fiercely. Lana 's female parent 's face held a myriad of emotions ranging from shock and disbelief to absolute joy and happiness. Lana on the other hand was smirking though she had n't planned on it, she was gladiolus for what she and Jonathan had done on the island, now she just needed him back in her arms.

Tom had felt Evelyn pull peeress Vishnew over to the keep though he did n't know why he was sure they were up to no unspoilt. If Tom had learned one thing in over a thousand years, it was to not horn in too far into what his wife was doing, that is unless it involved their children.

Tom was at his humor end he 'd tried to reach the council, and all but one of them were unavailable. The one elder had hurried him along seemingly too busy to hire in conversation for long. Then there was his Uncle Ben, he 'd been there not long after Jonathan had disappeared then poof ! He too had seemed to send away off the earthly concern. Just what in the nether region was going on ? Why was Tom afraid that it all had something to do with his outlaw son ? Shaking his headland he walked his soil, no sense going to the dungeon not with all the adult female there, probably get another forehead thrashing by his wife about sticking his nose into distaff business again. Growling he felt like something incredibly important was about to happen and everyone was purposely keeping all information about it a secret from him. Walking to the outer most boundary he opened the seal off vault that he knew of, now that Jonathan had found hundreds of eld ago. Walking to the huge space capsule he laid the patch of the Rinora crystal within it, sighing he looked over at the other four. It was a good thing Jonathan had only gotten the Rinora. It was the to the lowest degree herculean of the five, well four now though the security department had to be increased so that no one else could exhaust any of the others. Looking them over he remembered the gaining control of all of them when he was a boy. The big he stopped at, it 's monumental security Tom never felt was enough it had decimated the entire council. A good many Mages had died that day, Tom remembered it was his gramps 's sacrifice that had sealed the pure evil of the crystal. He could still hear his granddad telling him to hold them well and what spells to use, then the crying falling from his heart his gramps had sent him away, horrified Tom watched his gramps die. The old man had been consumed then it was all hushed, doing as his grandfather had instructed he 'd sealed the crystallization, then each in spell as it was gathered. It still eat away at Tom that he could n't give done more to help, he 'd loved his grandfather his own male parent destroyed by respective vampire kin group right before he 'd been born. Tom had to wonder if that was why he was so abruptly set against his son ? All the horror he 'd seen from the abuse of power was that why he was so afraid ?

Locking up, Tom was heading back towards the keep when he felt a fellow belief one he 'd missed in the last few hundred years. `` Hello Vidon, what brings you out tonight ? '' Tom said to the darkness.

'' Damn it Tom, you could give a vampire a complex if it were possible, I take it you felt Vishnew at your livelihood ? '' noble Vidon replied.

'' Yes, '' Tom sighed, `` I decided it was time to assure security system, before something like ten long time ago happens again. Besides I have n't won a ace statement with Evelyn in over 1000 years, I do n't think I am going to suddenly start tonight. ``

Lord Vidon chuckled slapping Tom on the berm, `` Ah my champion ! I too am in the same predicament, Lady Vishnew seems to have an result for every question I have to ask her. Infuriatingly as it is she always seems to make Thomas More common sense. ``

Here master Vidon thought a here and now, `` Well almost everything, the Triog wars 1000 days ago, I decided to not listen to her, had I, none of us would have been here now. ``

'' I know the flavor, '' Tom said, `` It was the same during the Mage war 1200 years ago I had to go but Evelyn insisted that I stay, it was war, and I could n't, though I tell you, it damn near killed her ! '' Lord Vidon nodded, `` Yes, if I remember right, Vishnew told me that if I were to be destroyed she 'd no longer be able to go on. I miss the old days when loyalty was far more authoritative than anything else. ``

'' It 's this new world that they discovered in America, it has given exemption to the masses, they feel they no longer have need of us it 's a shame though the power that we wield will still be there just not believed in as much. '' Lord Vidon answered.

'' I think it will always be those with the money that will always have the power, I do n't see that changing any time soon. '' Tom said.

'' My son especially, strange thing I ca n't get hold of the Mage council. '' Tom told Godhead Vidon.

'' Strangely enough the lamia council has also been indisposed the final stage two Clarence Shepard Day Jr., strange thing happening in these strange fourth dimension my acquaintance. '' Jehovah Vidon said. `` Since my keep has none of the female presence at the present clip what say you and I retire there 'til such time as the female decide that they have need of us again eh ? ``

Tom 's eye lit up he always loved to go to Vidon 's sustenance, the account there was somewhat one-time than that at his keep. `` Uh, '' Tom started, `` you would n't still have that 500 year old scotch would you ? ``

'' For you Tom, I think we can break out the 700 year old ! '' God Almighty Vidon replied.

walking off neither saw the young boy take off for the keep. Reaching the front door the boy ran all the way up the steps to Evelyn. `` I saw them both Lady Evelyn ! '' The boy exclaimed out of breathing spell from running, `` They were both heading to Divine Vidon 's keep. '' Leaning close he whispered, `` They were talking about drinking old stuff and nonsense called scotch ! ``

Thanking the boy Evelyn walked into the room to enjoin lady Vishnew.

'' Oh dear ! '' Lady Vishnew laughed, `` It appears that our husband feel as if we no longer demand them ! ``

'' What make you say that ? '' Evelyn asked.

'' Why my dear they are both human and they 're going to get drunk. Remember the last time they pulled this ? '' Lady Vishnew asked.

Evelyn 's eyes got Brobdingnagian, `` the Triog war ! I believe not long after Tom discovered that they were both human around each other. I also remember they were drunk for well over a week ! Ugh ! I also remember the smell ! Vish we have to stop this ! ``

'' How do you nominate we do that ? commemorate the lowest time ? We both ended up meaning, sorry but I am far too old to be that way again ! '' Lady Vishnew said.

'' Oh hell ! '' Evelyn cried, and then laughed herself, `` You are so right ! Something needs to be done though, I do n't think I 'll ever get that smell out of my mind ! ``

'' I might have an idea for that, though I 'm going to need your help. We 'll have to wait 'til they pass out a while before we do it though. ``

Two days later both Lord Vidon and Tom Timmings awoke both sporting hellacious hang overs, looking down at themselves then at each early, they both started to express mirth. They were both were sitting on respective canvas that were in fact all around them, plus the fact that they were both crude naked did zippo to deter the laugh. They 'd both just sat up reaching for another bottle when there was an enormous explosion off in the distance.

Both stumbled out the door holding their heads and stomachs, looking to the Benjamin West they both saw the Brobdingnagian pillar of fume rising from what Tom saw was near the council headquarters.

Lady Vishnew and Evelyn were feeling pretty good, the program they 'd carried out would at to the lowest degree insure that the support would n't reek like a brewery or worse a drinking club that their husbands had frequented before. They were just sitting to accept tea when up stairs they heard Lana screaming at the top of her voice. Rushing to her room it was taking all the four fair sex in the way could do to reserve her in bed.

'' NO ! NO JONATHAN ! DON '' T DO IT ! PLEASE ! '' She was screaming over and over. Then there was a sudden detonation west of the keep. `` NO JONATHAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ``

Then Lana was unconscious mind, Evelyn started to feel a immense force moving toward them. Oh my god ! It was Jonathan ! His power was huge many, many times greater than the other day when he brought Lana to the keep .'I have to keep her condom ,'Evelyn thought, quickly she changed Lana everything about her Jonathan was n't the only mage that could do a rub. Grabbing Lady Vishnew and Lana ; Evelyn flashed them both to a low shack between both of the keeps.

Tom and Vidon watched as something streaked over head heading to Tom 's support. Thanking Vidon, Tom started to hit toward his keep, though they both felt they were n't wanted any more Tom still felt he had to protect the cleaning lady of the kinfolk. Just out of site of Vidon 's keep he felt his ability starting time to refund, flashing quickly to the livelihood, he found no sign of his son, wife nor master Vidon 's wife. Now what the hell was going on ? It had felt like Jonathan flashing over but he had n't felt him leave. Searching the keep he found his girl hiding in a corner a look of terror on her face.

'' Trina ! '' Tom yelled getting no reply from her, he turned her font to his.

Tears were streaming from her centre. `` pa ? '' she sobbed out. `` We have to avail Jonathan he is so furious, I 've never seen such craze as he had on his face. Please Daddy, I know you are mad at him but you have to help him, you are the lone one who can. You have the power in you, Johnny told me you did just like grandpa. Please Daddy, you have to, if you do n't it will kill him, he is willing to die rather than ache anyone else. ``

NO ! persuasion Tom not again ! Sighing he knew what he had to do but was n't indisputable he could, he 'd suppressed the top executive for so long. It had taken a foresightful metre to arrive at the control he had, it took almost dying to gain it.

'' I 'll do what I can but I 'm not sure enough I can anymore, I shut it off so long ago. '' Tom said almost in a whisper.

It meant exposing his secret that he 'd hidden for well over a thousand days, exposing himself to the ridicule and shame that he suffered all those centuries ago. Trina looked up at her sire he was the only hope for them all.

Tom sighed and flashed out to where the council headquarters was, that was the definitive word was. There was n't much but rubble, flaming, and a lot of gouged earth. Reaching out Tom began to feel the council appendage, several were badly hurt, but at least they were alive. Taking a deep breather Tom reached in as cryptical as he could, feeling the endless well of power that was there. Slowly he brought it out 'til he felt it was enough then simply made a broom motion and the debris was gone.

Ben 's back talk dropped open he 'd never seen his nephew display that sort of power. With one hired hand Tom lifted all the council out of the debris airfield, with the former he waved his hand and the building was whole and staring again.

'' Yes Ben I have it also, I have n't used it in over 1000 geezerhood. '' Tom said.

Ben limped to Tom looked him in the eye, `` You 've had this much control of the wild thaumaturgy and you did n't call back to serve your son ? ! '' Shaking his head Ben punched his Nephew in the face. `` You hypocrite ! You son of a bitch ! All this fucking meter ! ``

Tom picked himself off the land, hanging his head he could only agree.

'' You have to save him ; you are the simply one that can ! '' Ben screamed. Tom reached out he could feel Jonathan, his magnate was almost overloading, if it was n't stopped soon the boy would explode taking various thousands of international mile of everything near him with him. Tom started to give pursual feeling Jonathan 's power still increasing though for some reason it had finally started to slow.

AN HOUR BEFORE THE blowup

Jonathan had searched the room a XII times feeling every weakness every column inch of the I. F. Stone. He 'd started to build up his force it should be senior high school enough to get out of here soon. Looking out at Ben he could see that the man was n't felicitous, why not ? He 'd helped to enamour a dangerous criminal, though here Jonathan smiled, he would n't be captured much longer. Ben could see that Jonathan was becoming calmer as each day passed though he was n't sure what he was up to. They 'd finally determined that though he had great control condition he still only had a little Thomas More than half what he needed. All the tests done, Ben was more worried about Jonathan than their beshrew conclusion. Ben watched him for almost an 60 minutes the council arguing and discussing, Ben noticed that Jonathan 's skin was starting to glow. 'Oh red cent ,'Ben thought, reaching out he grabbed the council throwing a shield around them, looking back he saw Jonathan stand, nod at him then the full construction exploded. curse it Ben thought I underestimated him again .
