felt pulling his arm as he felt the winged Moorra below him pulling on his foot. Tom frowned as the male was joined by the Queen who put her hands on his arm pulling him with a concerned look on her face.
The Queen spoke he hearing her speaking “This is your son don’t deny him the chance to be raised by his parents like you were denied.”
Tom raised his right hand to grip his son’s left wrist in a tight ironclad grip in response to the Queen's words. He felt the winged Moorra below him let go of his foot abruptly. Tom eyed his son as the Queen and his offspring pulled him up from the cliff edge till he was standing on the ground.
He sighed as his son grabbed him in a hug while speaking “Father.”
Tom closed his eyes as blackness arrived. He came to find himself lying on a bed with hands touching his face. He opened his eyes to stare at the Queen, leaning over him with a small smile seen. He eyed her who moved her hands to rub his face. He stared at her as a memory came to his mind. In the memory he was a young child older than Thurin at his current age running in a hallway of the Queen’s palace towards the entrance leading to the gardens beyond. He reached the garden entrance pausing to see the Queen outside underneath an awning with eyes closed. He saw her sitting on a cushion in a cross legged position with her two guards standing behind her. One of the guards seeing him was seen put a finger to his lips as Tom slowly walked outside. He quietly walked silently passed the Queen. Tom walked further into the large maze of hedges till he was out of sight of the guards into the shining sun. Sighing he walked looking around staring at the hedge garden consisted of many colorful plant life that stood towering over his head. He walked admiring them then looked at the sky as dark clouds rolled blocking the sun turning the sky into darkness. He stared at the sky and ran through the maze through openings in the hedges till he reached a dead end. Tom turned around and ran till he reached another dead end as the dark sky lit up turning to day followed by loud rumbling noises. He ran running through the maze as the sky kept its daylight flashing and rumbling noise show. Tom stopped to catch his breath he reached another dead end as water began to drip falling from the sky in a light barrage. He looked around the hedges panicking as the water fell harder getting him wet plastering his hair onto his face and his clothes onto his body.
Tom burst into tears kneeling onto the ground grabbing his wet form with his arms crying out "Mother, Father.”
He closed his eyes lying on the ground as the rain began barraging him with its wet drops of water while speaking in his mind “Mother Father, help me.”
He heard a male voice that seemed familiar speak in his mind “Tom what’s wrong?”
Tom wailed out in his mind “Help me, I can’t get out!”
He heard the voice speak “Hold on Tom, I’ll get help to you. Just tell me where you are.”
He cried out in his mind “I’m trapped in the Queen’s hedge garden and I can’t get out!”
Tom heard from the voice speak in his mind “Tom, stay where you are, help is coming to get you.”
He lay on the ground weeping and placed his arms over his head as the water spilled from the sky overhead seemingly getting harder with its spilling. He didn’t know how long he lay there while feeling himself becoming cold from the water's spilling. He stiffened as he felt hands touch his arms pulling at them pulling him from the ground. He looked to see the looking wet with hair plastered was the Queen kneeling next to him with her guards besides her. He didn’t resist as she pulled him in a hug rubbing his back then lifted him up carrying him as he settled his head on her shoulder. He placed his arms around her neck as she carried him out of the maze of hedges towards the entrance to the palace. Tom frowned forming it on his face as the memory quit playing in his mind. He stared at the Queen who removed her hands to straighten up forming a frown on her face. He felt the vibrations of the bed move as someone got onto the bed with him. Tom looked to see Thura holding Thurin settle herself lying down with her head on his shoulder on her left side. He sighed feeling Thura place his son on his chest to have Thurin's front facing him he felt the familiar rapid beat of his son's beater organ. He sighed as Thura was felt putting her arms around Thurin’s form including keeping her head on his shoulder. Tom placed his arms around Thura. He saw the Queen frown visibly while staring at him. He frowned seeing the Queen's expression turn into a glare making him gulp.
Tom frowned as he sensed Thura pass out asleep as the Queen spoke sounding firm "Talk on this obsession with Thura now. You seemed desperate to have her in your life and in your possession. I had you tested on this desperation. You proved this desperation by hunting for Thura after she was forcibly taken away from you. So talk now!"
He gulped and spoke "Thura gives me what I've been seeking which is acceptance. I haven't been getting that acceptance from any of the Keos or Moorra like I keep complaining to you about."
He clamped his mouth shut in response feeling himself annoyed with his confession as the Queen gave him a glare of accusation on her facial appearance making him gulp some more.
He stiffened as the Queen gave him a Banshee eyed look he finding sleepiness hitting him that took control which he surrendered to it.
Tom awoke discovering himself sitting in a chair alone in the bedroom. Thura with Thurin was no where to be seen in the room. He frowned as he heard voices speaking coming from the hallway with the door to the room ajar making him compelled to get up and eavesdrop
He heard a male Keo's voice he figured was Geelley's speaking “Thura is easily manipulated. She saw Thurin, Tom’s Father changed into a Banshee. She from mind scans of her shows that she doesn’t think Keo and Banshee is the same species.”
He heard a female voice he recognized as the Queen speaking “Interesting considering what you told me about Thura’s reaction to Tom attacking you. He told her about you attacking her. She appeared to not believe him or accept him. Thura pulled this acceptance behavior onto Tom after you confessed the attack.”
Geelley was heard speaking “My mind scans show that Thura prefers to believe me over Tom. Her acceptance of Tom is to spite me. She’ll continue to do that spiteful behavior as long as she's furious with me.”
Queen he heard spoke “Good I was worried about Thura accepting Tom. See about trying to get onto Thura's graces to get her to stop this spiteful behavior.”
Tom felt anger arriving as Geelley spoke “I aim to do that.”
He growled softly as the Queen spoke “I think it’s a high time Tom stopped living in the palace with Thura. I plan to have him live elsewhere while Thura stays here just to see of influencing Thurin enough to turn against his Father.”
He felt anger took control as Geelley spoke “What would you want me to tell her of Tom’s absence?”
He gave off a loud roaring nonsense sound and stormed towards the door as it slammed closed in a bang sound in response to his noises. He heard the familiar door's lock clicking sound after it was shut.
He snarled out loud “You’re not doing this separation to me just to manipulate Thura and my son to both reject me. I’ll see if I have to force you to accept us together if I have to destroy you.”
He angrily put a hand on his chest rubbing the area as he felt the mask near his hand.
He spoke out loud again “I don’t care I’m doing what I want from now on. I don’t take orders from you for this pain of rejection you caused me.”
He grabbed the mask and yanked it onto his face as he felt his mind walking power become active. He went to the door putting a hand on it and slid it sideways as he heard the sound of the lock unlocking. He opened the door and stood in the hallway empty of Keos.
He heard a mental sound of a crying sound on his right followed by a young male child's voice blaring in his mind “Father.”
He turned towards his right and walked into the hallway mentally following the child’s voice as if drawn as the male repeatedly said "Father.”
The voice took him to outside to the hedge garden entrance
where he met no one on his way there. He entered the hedge garden following the voice walking in corridors of hedges high over his head. He reached a break in the hedge garden to see an opening which he entered. Tom felt rage hitting him to see the Queen, with a male Keo he assumed was Geelley and Thura appearing to be holding Thurin standing with their backs to him. He saw that all appeared to be staring at long glass rectangular box on pedestal stands in front of them.
He heard the Queen speak loudly “Nice of you to join us Tom.”
He narrowed his eyes as anger raged throughout him. The Queen he saw turned around to face him as Geelley grabbed Thura and began yanking her to a hedge entrance.
He roared as he aimed his eyes towards Geelley “Geelley, down!”
Geelley he saw grabbed his head and fell towards the grass ground as Thura turned to face him with a hurt look on her face while holding a sleeping Thurin. He turned his eyes towards the Queen who had her mouth in a thin line. He could sense the Queen mentally mind walking in his mind which he easily blocked her scans. He took a step towards her as hands feeling like a Keo's clamped on the sides of his face from behind him. Tom jerked his eyes shut throwing his head up as memories of the Keo flashed in his mind’s eye. He saw the Keo an apparent male staring at a female Moorra with pain in her face
