Johnathon watched as Lana fingered the Tree shaped pendent, he was still in a bad climate, he thought he and Tyrome were finally even. Here the ass had given them aegis for their child ; Johnathon knew that Tyrome had more also. He was never going to be able to pay him back at this rate, not concentrating once again ; Johnathon started blowing the netherworld out of everything that was placed in front of him.

growling he looked back at Lana, `` Lana hon ? '' He finally said to her.

'' What 's wrong Johnathon ? '' She asked completely incognizant of the scene he was having, looking at the pendant that she was cradling so lovingly.

'' Hon if you could, please put that away ? It reminds me of how practically of a failure I am to my friend. '' Johnathon said. This was a shock to her, hearing Tyrome tell it, he owed Johnathon and would never be able to pay him back. Shaking her head she wondered how the men ever got very far with so many mistaking.

Placing the chandelier inside her shirt tucked safely between her breast she heard Johnathon sigh in relief. `` I 'm lamentable my making love, '' she started, `` I was just absently holding it thinking of our child and how wonderful it is we are finally together. ''

Nodding Johnathon walked over to her and passionately kissed her surprising not only her but Johnathon also.
'' After all the C of separation and the misunderstandings, I am more than happy to try and earn up for it. ''

Lana leaned into his kiss, `` Ummmm if it keeps changes such as this in you, than I am more than happy to remind you every day how a good deal I love you ! '' Lana said with a across-the-board grin.

Tom just shook his head at this charge per unit Johnathon would n't be to concentrate at all.

Sighing Johnathon kissed Lana one to a greater extent fourth dimension then went back to work, it was a lot harder to control then he 'd thought though after yesterday it did look that he did have a bit of control.

A pair of eyes watched the proceedings as Tom and Johnathon practiced, ‘ I have to inform the council,'the oculus owner thought. ‘ If they keep this up then Johnathon will ascend to the position that his Father-God hOldS, this ca n't happen if the council was to ever get out from under the foot of the Timmings.'Flashing out the spy did n't see Ben Timmings watching from farther back, ‘ So, Ben thought, ‘ they have taken to spying on the keep.'flashing in near Tom, Ben motioned him close so he could let Tom screw what he 'd just seen.

'' Ben ? '' Tom said when he saw his uncle, `` I take it your being here means that something new has developed ? '' Nodding, Ben told Tom of the spy that he 'd seen watching their sustenance ; he also informed Tom that the council had n't been too please that Ben had sent new Tyrome on ahead to the enforcer schoolhouse removing him from active duty as a Bounty huntsman.

'' I tell you I caught more than an earful about that for several hours, I watched them all as you told me ; it seems that the most boisterous are a sure three mages. I am sure you are familiar with their name calling. Clondus, Torbert, and no surprise, Alaze Odium. ''

This live on had Tom hissing then growling, that mother fucker had been after Evelyn when they were younger and still wanted her even 800 days later.

As quiet as he could Tom tell Ben, `` I should have killed that mother fucker when we dueled instead of taking his arm ! ''

Ben looked at Tom with shock he 'd never get a line Tom voice displeasure this strongly before maybe this was a good thing after all for ALL concerned. `` We need to make program as of right hand now, if I know that ass the way I do he 's already got something in the works to destroy Johnathon. This will not pass off I will kill that bastard long before he even gets close to Johnathon. ''

Ben could only stare at his nephew this was most refreshing hearing Tom speak as emotionally as he was.

'' I want you to preserve eyes on the spy or spies as I am sure they will air to a greater extent than one. It appears that I may have to actuate up the time table and confront the bastard in capable sleeping room. '' Tom told Ben.

'' Tom ! '' Ben cried, `` That 's what they probably want you to do ! '' Ben cried.

Tom smiled a half smirk looking at his uncle, `` That may be but remember it was my beginner, your brother that wrote well over half the council pattern. Also remember that I helped to write a few of them as well after father was killed. I am more than acquainted with all the rules, I still have a trump card I can play if worse comes to worse. ''

Ben nodded he had to let in Tom was always trying to suppose ahead a lot further than he was. Tom nodded then flashed out appearing in the council William Chambers ; going over everything he was surely he had them all if they did n't agree to his damage. Within import all of the members appeared, though a trivial disturbance none were as upset as odium and Clondus.

'' I have called an emergency coming together of the council to put to breathe all the wild rumor that have been circulating. '' Tom started.

'' Yes as would I, '' a turned faced and most unpleasant sounding loathing, `` under Magic law 5000, I ask for the capital punishment of Johnathon Timmings. '' So the mother fucker had read the Good Book after all.

'' Magic law 5000 ? I am unfamiliar with that one. '' A younger council member stated.

Waving his hand Tom Timmings made the bombastic Book appear again and started to scan. `` It is hereby the determination of the council that the unskilled and trifle use of raving mad magic is outlawed. The said use of wild magic trick will be punishable by death, the execution to take place immediately under the watchful eyes of a sub-council male phallus of the Timmings category. '' There were several gasps as each realized that Tom Timmings had the ultimate say in almost all they did.

Tom looked at Odium who wore a brainsick and twisted flavor of joy on his cheek at the opinion of the death of Tom 's son. Tom just started to smile and looked directly at Odium,"So you really want to go that way huh ? '' Tom asked, when detestation 's face gained a sick and repelling smile, Tom just smiled back with the same intensity.

'' As many of you know my father and grandfather wrote well over 75 % of the council book. What you may not screw is its entire contents. My family has been possessors of the gaga magic for many, many centuries now ; we were all trained and can control it far better than to the highest degree can their normal magic. As you heard only the wanton use of it is cause for death. '' Tom stated.

Laughing Odium pointed an accusing finger's breadth at me, `` What would you forebode the demolition of the council chambers or the injury of almost one-half its members ? I call for his death NOW ! ``

Still smiling Tom looked at him then the eternal sleep of the council, `` Under several clause of the council book I can call for the disbanding of the council for the illegal capture and test of my son. Nothing allows the council to act without get-go advising the sub-council, what their action mechanism are and will be. If councilman detestation continues to force this matter I will sustain the council disbanded in disgrace, his title removed and his council retention removed. ''

Looking straight into Odium 's eyes, Tom said, `` Your play councilman. ''

The color had drained from his face as the rest of the council shot spirit of death at him, `` I ... I did n't jazz ! '' He shouted.

look at him Tom growled, `` It is over Alaze, she did n't require you then and almost certainly does n't require you now. You should inquiry for More before you make a move like this, you 've lost again accept it and act on. ''

Turning his spinal column Tom started to leave. There was a sudden commotion behind him then a shouted admonition, Tom felt rather than saw the Brobdingnagian fireball that flew at him. Tom stopped as did the fireball, turning he saw that loathing was laughing wickedly, that is 'til he saw Tom sigh and shake his head slowly. Tom slowly pushed the human dynamo back at abhorrence ; panic on his expression grew as it engulfed his buckler.

'' Councilman Odium, you are hereby stripped of your title and stripped of your mage standing on the council. '' The fireball suddenly snuffed out, reaching in Tom started to snap several of Odium 's powers, the council all gasped as they saw what Tom was doing.

'' You are sentenced to a year without powers, after that, come after my family and I will suffer the right to toss off you, '' drawing closer to him Tom quietly snarled, `` It will be most unpleasant and might take a prospicient sentence to accomplish. ''

Letting the man drop in a heap Tom bowed to the council and advised, `` I believe you need another council member, oh. '' Tom started when he turned his dorsum to the council, `` Clondus, if you were allied with this excuse for a mage I advise you to think really severely before you make another motility. '' With that Tom flashed out leaving an open-mouthed council staring at the weeping heap of flesh on the chamber floor.

Ben had been in hiding the entire clip a huge sense of pride on his face, Tom had not only kept his poise but had done everything by their own rules to brook no objections later. Though he had to admit as another smile lit up his face the removing of the idiots big businessman had been a bonus. ‘ Huh,'Ben thought, ‘ so his chum had taught his son to remove powerfulness. So now there were three he knew of well two,'Tyrome was still learning, but he could stop almost all now, so pretty close.

Tom appeared in the practice yard and erected several targets, then started to blast the the pits out of them. Sighing Tom knew this was n't going to be enough. Opening the power slightly, Tom flashed out to the same remote islands that Johnathon had destroyed ; bringing the islands back Tom started the whole sale death of all of them again. A few mo later he heard a vocalism behind him, `` snake pit and you said I was heedless ! ''

Almost lost in his rage Tom turned and fired at Johnathon, Johnathon smiled and his shields flared as he held the blast 'til it extinguished.

Tom 's sass dropped open ; that was the most ripe attainment of control Johnathon had shown and without Lana there !

'' Yeah I finally figured what you had been doing to establish up my dominance, I started a few practice session of my own, and it has helped quite a bit. So find beneficial ? '' Johnathon smiled as he looked at the vivid look on his father 's face.

'' More than you 'll jazz, so have you been able to open it yet ? '' Tom asked looking at the office that Johnathon was showing.

'' Almost half way now, 'bout 5 or 6 60 minutes now. I heard what you did in the chambers ; here I thought you were an unfeeling arse all these years. That you were training me out of duty, I want to know about granddad. I 've heard that his command made both of ours look like a joke. '' Johnathon told Tom.

Tom nodded and said, `` Almost, I am close now, if you remember our fighting I did n't bring in out everything 'til the very end I did n't have to. commend with the whorl once you open it your ability is slightly amplified, though at the end I have to admit you were starting to sweep over me, I barely got it all the way open air when you hit me. ''

Johnathon was nodding taking in everything his Father-God was telling him, the fact that his father had defended him in the open council chambers had spoken bulk to Johnathon.

An minute later, Tom had Johnathon performing a figure of harder and harder tasks. When each went better than he thought they should, the superbia on Tom 's face started to show. `` I 'd say you have no less that 90 % controller now, one finale psychometric test for today. I want you to afford the shell as far as you can. '' Nodding Tom watched as Johnathon began to give the charming power buckler over his mogul, nodding Tom saw that he 'd already mastered the smooth opening night of it. At half Tom smiled very undecomposed, at 3/4 Tom was even proud. Finally almost all the way open Tom saw that Johnathon was starting to struggle to keep it out-of-doors, so this was the first prison term he 'd got it give that far, fantabulous !

'' Alright Johnathon back it off and the roadblock will close '' Nodding Johnathon did as his beginner said and the great power slowly at first then faster began to refuse.
'' Very good you are almost completely ready now, another day or two and I think you 'll be fix. '' Tom told his son. Johnathon looked shocked he thought it would admit at to the lowest degree two month of training not five and a one-half calendar week. Looking over at his Father to make for certain he 'd learn right he saw his father escape from his headland yes.

That night, in the shadow many powerful mages moved through the forest towards the sustenance. The one-time looking leader of the men wore a grim and roughshod look that reached all the way to his eyes. Smiling a wicked grin he started to surround the keep with a great power lock down spell no one had never broken, but just in shell he had more than enough powerful mages out here to kill the keep leader and his son. Smiling he thought of the celebrate leader's wife and daughter, ummm they would be sweet beneath him when he took them by force laughing he had so many plaything he was going to gormandize them full of. After all the things theses humanitarian had done they were going to suffer and suffer greatly.

The next sunrise Tom felt the magic hoop erected around the keep, smiling this spell felt familiar. Reaching out Tom touched it and opened a mess as easily as ripping a patch of paper. Laughing 'til he felt the extremely knock-down force play outside the ring. Hmmmm it was a good thing Johnathon had as much control as he did this would make affair a little easier when they went to conflict.

vocation Johnathon Tom advised him what was going on then he sent subject matter to Ben. The council was advised that there would be a monumental amount of end out by the keep so they might desire to prepare. Ben asked if they needed him and Tom thought for a bit. `` You have to use the power Ben ; yes I know you have it, sire told me not too long before he died. I know your controller is far greater than his was I ca n't even feel yours. ''

Sighing Ben decided he 'd been hiding long enough and this was his kinfolk, or what was left of it. Tom also contacted Divine Vidon to let him know, he could hear Vidon growling when he heard that his friend and neighbor was under attack. Tom asked him to proceed out of it, these mages were of a gamy caliber than most that Vidon had been against, Vidon laughed and told Tom not to vex he was far more potent than Tom thought.

Stepping out near the barrier Tom addressed the massed group. `` What is the substance of this ? You are trespassing on my family 's land leave now while you still can rest and I can not guarantee any will leave alive.

There was a lot of snickering then about ten of the mages opened up striking Tom 's cuticle, Tom just yawned and looked bored.

'' Do n't let the son of a bitch goad you ! You 'll exhaust your power and be an well-off target ! '' The leader yelled from the extreme back of all of the men. ‘ So,'Tom thought, ‘ that 's where you are, need to remember that for later on.'

Tom waved a hand at five of the ten and they were instantly engulfed in flames, dropping they were idle within a mere minute. Smiling, Tom thought ‘ Well that 's five, it might even make a difference later,'`` Please, I do n't know who you are but you have no chance even with this many ! '' Tom yelled trying to convince himself more than them even with Johnathon it was going to be a struggle. With a savage yell many more opened up on Tom. Smiling Tom opened his power to 3/4 the saltation did n't go unnoticed.

'' That 's it men he 's almost at full business leader even he ca n't last forever ! '' Tom fired killing another six then three to a greater extent, even more started to fire at him, ‘ hoot it,'Tom thought, ‘ I ca n't belt down them fast enough !'Suddenly there was a immense blast and XX of those in nominal head of him disappeared.

'' I 've got your back don ! '' Tom heard Johnathon yell as he took another twenty dollar bill out reducing the blast hitting Tom to lupus erythematosus than half.

Tom and Johnathon started to use screen killing as many as they could each meter. When the mob finally collapsed Tom smiled and erected his own barrier, this shocked those on the back incline, and now the full military force was in nominal head of them. An hour later Tom and Johnathon had both been hit several times and were bleeding from respective places. They were holding their own when an errant flak hit Tom knocking him out, there were several yucky laughs.

They were 'til they felt Johnathon 's anger grow as did his top executive, taking out quite a few, Johnathon managed to get Tom under cover. Another pellet hit Johnathon in the arm effectively numbing it, still firing Johnathon was n't for sure if he could hold out much longsighted when there was shouting at the cover of the opposition's lines.

Johnathon felt the Vampires before they even arrived, then Ben was beside him, lifting his father, `` I 'll be right back, '' he told Johnathon.

Out in the lines many screams started to sound as various of the mages disappeared, back to back up the mages finally started to get a hold on thing but their forces were now at half what they had been.

master Vidon looked at the carnage before him ; his men had grabbed half of the men and ripped their pharynx out. anathemise it they were starting to fight now, and then he felt an extremely powerful power nation next to Johnathon. good he was there finally, for the succeeding minute things grew somewhat still, there were still a cracking many mages out there, and many of them had substantial mightiness. Ben appeared side by side to Johnathon crap ! Johnathon was bleeding from his face arms legs breast ; though Ben smiled, Johnathon had killed quite a few. Leaning down Ben whispered to Johnathon, `` You stay here I 'll show you why your grandfather was feared. ''

With that Johnathon felt Ben open his might all the way then he felt the shield meld with the exponent, what the hell ? Ben felt as powerful as he 'd been when he fought father ! Ben started to float then rose above the Tree. Lord Vidon felt him and withdrew all his men. Ben 's face was a mask of hate and rage ; his middle were like fervour his hands were glowing as the superpower started to concentrate there in them. In a booming interpreter Ben looked at all the men, `` I 'll give all of you a chance to walk away, you have this one chance, and then you are stagnant, think about it you have 1 minute of arc ! ''

Several of the men talked among themselves then flashed out, Ben smiled so they were n't all idiots ! The ease that remained laughed and pointed at Ben opening ardour at once, shrugging it off Ben 's pique started to grow as did his power. All the men on the priming laughed and fired even harder, when nothing happened they started to get worried. Ben started to smile and pointed at each man as each started to scream, and then die. The leader flashed out, damn it he thought the program had been everlasting ! Five transactions later Ben settled next to Johnathon the smell of roasting flesh was everywhere, gently Ben lifted a now semi witting Johnathon and flashed to the keep.

Evelyn screamed in rage when she saw Johnathon covered in blood though a good bit of it was his don. Lana growled looking at the many cuts and burns on his body, Johnathon tried to sit up and nearly fell.

'' Sit still ; let your female parent heal you I have to go after the drawing card. You are expert son, and your father trained you extremely well but he did n't be intimate everything, but we can discourse that later. '' Ben flashed out to a sustenance a few miles from theirs and began to attend around hmmm zero, appearing in several more that he suspected Ben was a niggling thwarted. Sighing, Ben thought, ‘ Well one more than I 'll take to rethink who might hold been behind this.'Searching around he finally felt the power signature he 'd been looking for then, huh it was gone ? What the hell was going on ? Feeling the track he started to fall out it as it led back toward his family unit 's keep ! Appearing in the seance room Ben saw that he 'd been right about the energy but had to be indisputable.

There with his arm around Evelyn 's neck was the patriarch of the Pompoff category !

'' So it was you after all Bernard ! '' Ben said as the older man tightened his suitcase on Evelyn.

'' Hello bastard, '' the old man said to Ben, `` 'bout time I got a chance to kill a few of the whores in this phratry ! '' The old man laughed, licking the side of Evelyn 's face, `` Is n't that rightfulness you fucking whore ! ''

Johnathon was still on the divan beneath them and had n't moved ; suddenly he sprang up and ripped the man 's throat out. `` NO ONE touches my female parent, you son of a beef ! '' Johnathon growled as the man fell on the level blood pumping out as his expiry rattling started. Johnathon smiled at his mother and a shocked Ben ; then the human race went black, damn he thought, ‘ this suction !'

Two solar day later Johnathon awoke with a jerk, where the hell was he ? Looking over he saw Lana asleep in a chair next to the bed. Reaching out he felt the entire council was there, as was Ben, and ... Tyrome ? Groaning Johnathon tried to get out of bed, almost falling as the room began to spin Johnathon groaned again this prison term Lana awoke.

'' Ah my honey you 're finally awake ! '' Shouting the others came in, Tyrome at the back ; shaking his school principal it seemed that a lot of matter that had happened were still fuzzy. A mo later his father limped in, `` I 'm proud of you son you took a beating but you saved us all 'til Ben and Vidon arrived. ''

'' Thank you father, Tyrome why are you here ? '' Johnathon asked almost afraid of the answer.

'' Checking up on an old friend I heard you were hurt, besides Ben asked me to help oneself. '' Tyrome said.

'' One day I will repay you for the help Tyrome. '' Johnathon said.

Tyrome just smiled, ‘ You already have Johnathon,'he thought, ‘ many times over.'


THE END
