blinking his eyes to find Barry there that tossed him his shirt which he caught then stood up and put it on. He stood eyeing the High Council to find the familiar speaker having his head down. Tom sensed his mind scanned seemingly lengthy. He recalled being taught combative art moves by the Queen's guards after he reached his full grown height. He grimaced recalling the reason for the teaching was that he was trashing his sleeping room with lots of damage repeatedly over and over. He recalled ignoring the Queen telling him off on not to do the trashing. Tom recalled was the trashing was from after arriving there from being among the city's people. He grimaced remembering the people gave him out casting behavior that made him angry enough to do the trashing over and over. He recalled fully that the Queen got him into the courtyard leading to the maze. She ordered him to learn combative art from a guard who taught him various moves involving fisting with a hand, using elbows to hit and kicking with a foot over and over. Nightfall is when the teaching would be done. Tom continued to recall this kept on for days till the Queen ordered him to demonstrate using a fake air invisible opponent for the movements. He was to show that he got them from the guard teaching him. He proceeded to do finding her keep ordering him to do them over and over. She ordering him to keep up the practice she calls it over and over for days for he would easily remember how to do it when fighting with people. Tom kept recalling that he kept up the combative art moves over and over from time to time when it was appropriate for him to do them even while in the courtyard sometimes watched by the Queen and sometimes her guards. He stiffened as he recalled doing those moves onto a guard unarmed with no weapon as ordered by the Queen. He fought to find himself always losing. By getting himself into some choke hold by the Freeloader using strong strength to get him twisted around with back facing the male and then arm wrapped around his neck in a choke hold along with a hand grabbing his hair. He finding himself not able to free himself from, a trick that happened to him by various Freeloader males he fought with not just the guards. Tom felt himself annoyed recalling that to form a glare on his face as the memory stopped along with the mind scanning stopped.
He glared at the floor to hear from the speaker "Says Mindbender, demonstrate your combative art moves you were taught now."
He looked up to hear from Ramses "Oh no you don't High Council, your not getting Mindbender to teach you combative art period for I insist only a First One can do this. Mindbender isn't entirely First One so think of someone else instead or I'll kick Mindbender out of serving you to serve someone else."
He stiffened from Ramses' words to feel fear hitting him unexpectedly to stare at Barry as if drawn giving him a golden eyed glare.
He spoke realizing what the Builder was hinting at "I serve you willingly High Council."
Tom clamped his mouth shut feeling his fear stop hitting him. His Freeloader sense went off unexpectedly to feel an arm wrap around his neck in some tight hold with hand felt grabbing his hair.
He willed forwards the Banshee to feel the arm shift into Banshee from the feel giving him zapping pains as he mentally spoke "Hidden Banshee revealed now."
Tom heard the familiar whining squeal to struggle against the Banshee's hold who gave up a shrieking sound. The Banshee felt yanked him out of the room while still screaming away. Tom punched the arm holding his neck with fists feeling the Banshee's grip refused to give as he felt more zapping of pain hitting him. He struggled against the grip as he was pulled into the hallway then pulled through a large doorway.
He heard Anubis's loud whisper "Your not going anywhere with Mindbender. You'll have to go through us to get through this gate now."
Tom stiffened as there was a loud shrieking sound in response from the Banshee as a loud roaring sound loudly was heard by him making him grimace from the loud sound. He grimaced as the loud sounds of Banshee and roaring continued back and forth. He felt himself free unexpectedly bent down coughing as a clawed hand was felt on his back patting the area. He straightened up his form as the clawed hand belonging to Anubis left him to look behind him seeing a familiar travel gate and grimaced from it. Tom walked away recalling the route to the throne room while wiling aside the Banshee to find his recall correct. Tom wound up to find himself in the High Council's throne room to stand facing the group. Tom noticing Barry standing nearby that had a look of concentration on his face with eyes shut.
Tom frowned seeing that as the speaker was heard "Says Ramses transport Mindbender to Fingers now."
He found himself in an observation room to spot Thura lying on the bed asleep still carrying offspring. He saw Thura was accompanied with a masked Highlander nearby waving an arm length device over her from head to foot and back twice along with waving it over the area where the child was inside her. He frowned eyeing the Highlander who shifted to look up towards the ceiling while cocking his head repeatedly back and forth before looking at him.
The Highlander speaking verbalizing words "Everything seems to be in order for Fingers. Offspring is detected to be healthy and with normal functions. It won't be long till the offspring is born. I can't tell you when that'll happen for time varies on this. Just warn you don't touch her or scan her or the offspring by mental orders period or lives will be lost."
Tom spoke as the servant eyed him with eyes seen narrowed "Fine I get it your talk."
He clamped his mouth shut eyeing the servant who without a word walked out of the room. He sighed and went to Thura to kneel next to the bed eyeing her lengthy feeling ranges of emotions running through him but mostly on the happy side. He stiffened as memories of his daughter's birth. She dubbed Tura by the High Council flashed in his mind. He stiffened recalling himself in the High Council's throne room soon after Thura was carrying his son was discovered.
He recalling to be told by Barry "Tura was sent to a place of medical injuries focused onto offspring called a hospital. It's where the First Ones the medics tried their best to help her life but she passed away as a result."
He recalled felt upset by the death to give off wailing sounds of upset while rocking his form in kneeling pose while in some observation room he saw. Once he calmed down from his crying bout. Tom recalling found himself in the High Council's throne room. He recalled Thura while in there asked the group about her being told about Tura's death.
He was told by Barry appearing in some light show appearing to anticipate the talk "I took the liberty of telling her this whose response was to feel upset. I had to calm her down. Her state of carrying would cause her to prematurely lose the offspring if her mood got her very upset or very hysterical laughing."
Tom continued to remember that he was permitted to view Tura's body by a masked High Council servant appearing in the room holding a wrapped bundle. He went up to and unwrapped part of the blanket to view Tura's face that was black and blue from the looks of it along with arms like it. He eyed her seemingly lengthy till Barry's familiar chatter was heard making him look away towards the Builder to sense the servant had disappeared by a light show. He frowned as the High Council got him to watch Tura's body deposal seen through a recorder of servants wearing High Council robes putting Tura still wrapped in a blanket bundle on a small pile of wood from the looks of it. He saw one holding up as stick gave up a big eater light to put on the pile which erupted into eater covering it up entirely along with covering up Tura's body. The eater consuming everything till there was nothing left but ashes from both Tura and wood pile that fell into between a pile of stones wrapped around it in a circle. The eater went out as rain was seen falling from above putting it out. Tom frowned recalling that he was permitted to go to Thura to sit with her. Tom felt for where their child was inside her she not protesting to him rubbing hands over her while she laid on the bed him kneeling next to it. He recalled that the baby was felt by his hands' on the area inside Thura. Thura he recalled didn't indicate that she could feel the baby moving in response to his hands' touching it. Tom frowned while eyeing Thura from the memories running through his mind. Tom came to feel h
imself annoyed with not able to touch her at all despite itching to do it and realizing that he couldn't due to her sleeping status. He eyed Thura seemingly lengthy till he felt himself tired laid his form down shutting his eyes passing out unconscious.
Tom came to come to hearing a Highlander voice sounding "Wake up Mindbender the birth is imminent."
Tom woke up willing aside the Banshee to find Thura awake looking like she had pain in her eyes. She he saw glanced at him while gripping her legs and grimace seen. A Highlander wearing masked servant wear was standing near her with hands between her legs. Tom went to her putting a hand on Thura's shoulder she ignoring him. Thura sensed still pushing for the baby to come out which he kept the hand on her shoulder seemingly lengthy. There was a squealing cry of a baby to feel her relax in his hand. He eyed Thura who laid her form down putting down her dress. He eyed the servant he assumed was the medic who held up a baby he saw was a male that gave up a loud crying sound. Tom sighed as the medic disappeared in light show. He kneeled next to Thura gently gripping her hand she rolling over to face him forming a grimace on her face but kept staring at
