chapter 42

Mary spoke,"What are you talking about?"

Tenlong looked tenderly at his mother and said,"If I do not do anything to help our people in this land then I will be doing the wrong as a person."

Mary spoke," But you are only thirteenth years old!"

Tenlong spoke,"But Mom, I had more the twice the training Than Bro Jimmy ever had."

Mary let go her son as her face swelled up with redness.

Mary yelled,"You will not leave this place!"

Tenlong spoke,"You can not hold me here since I had reached the age of adulthood. I am a

Giganto warrior as well a citizen of Lowroda!"

Mary lost her mind and started to throw kitchen instruments at the young man.

The boy was not hurt physically by the mother's attack just frustrated by her seeing him as only the young boy that she had found so many years ago.

Tenlong yelled,"I am going with or without your blessing since you are powerless to do anything about it.

Mary burst into a fury of tears and begun to pray while laying her upper body on her kitchen table.

Tenlong was enwrapped with rage over his mother's death. He was lost in his rage and Mary could not calm down the angered boy. He could not help himself but be lost in his anger.

#

The village heard the yells clearly from the village and got Grimwald to respond.

Grimwald knew that something was wrong since he would not be angered with provocation.

The mayor and the local pastor, Funco, decided that they would go together to see what was going on.

The pair ran over to the house while riding in a horse and carriage.

Mary ran over to the pair and spoke,"The boy is angry about his mother's death and he can not control his emotions."

Grimwald spoke,"Gigantos were said through legends to be very emotional and get stronger when in extremes states of emotion. The boy would be next to invincible in such a state. That is why I brought you Pastor Funco. You got a lot of pull with the Lord so I might need you to call on His power to calm down our lad."

The pastor nodded in agreement.

Grimwald walked in first into the house and shut down the door behind him.

Mary and the Preacher begin to pray for the two inside.

#

Grimwald walked into the house and towards the source of the yelling. Tenlong was ranting and

raving intelligibly.

The kitchen was a mess and Tenlong was waving his arms in the air like a madman.

Grimwald knew that he could not back out now.

Tenlong had wrecked the small kitchen like a tornado had just hit it and the teenager had

somehow been in the eye of storm. He was in a rage similar to back when the mayor had tried to use the village's hunters to kill the lad nine years ago. Gigantos were the most dangerous when angered or cornered like an animal. The skinny mayor had to becareful or he would a dead man.

Tenlong yelled,"Haaaa!"

The boy was in a standby mode, ready to strike at any moment. He was using his breathing techniques to help him strike better, particularly with a loud shout. Jimmy had spoken to Grimwald about the dangers of a warrior when using correct breathing while striking.

Grimwald thought,"Wow, This lad is a brute, yet alone using a kiai shout! I need to keep my distance or I am dead meat!"

He puts up his hand in front of him in a defensive position, as if that would have helped.

Grimwald spoke softly,"Tenlong, my boy, I have come here to see if I could help you with whatever problem you could be going through. You are not alone since we are your family now."

Tenlong laughed,"Family? What Family?"

Grimwald grew afraid when he looked the lad in the eyes.

They were completely white and without any pupils. Veins were popping all over the young man's body. Tenlong's body was covered in a black aura as he grew to over twelve feet and over twelve

hundred pounds.

Tenlong put his hand towards the mayor and a mass of ki fired at Grimwald.

The mayor was frozen as a statue as he was knocked through the wall of Mary's house.

#

Funco and Mary was speechless as they saw Grimwald land roughly on the grassy ground.

The mayor was lying in the disturbed ground as Funco and Mary were standing horrified at such a sight. The mayor was over one hundred pounds at six foot tall but he was thrown through the wooden planks of Mary's house like a hot knife through butter. The man created a skid mark in the ground when he slid to the ground.

Mary and the pastor ran over to the side of her beloved mayor but Grimwald was knocked completely out and could not be awaken.

The pair had no time to worry since noise could still be heard emitting from the opening in the wall.

Funco spoke,"It sounds like some sort of demon is in the house! What a terrible sound!"

Mary knew that it was her son that she was speaking about, but she knew that the boy was not

enough at this time.

Tenlong walked fiercely through the hole in the wall still covered in an enormous black aura.

Pastor Funco immediately started praying in some unknown tongue.

Mary cried out,"Tenlong, stop it!"

The lad shouted,"Shut up, woman!"

Tenlong slapped his mother in the face and knocked her to the ground cold.

He turned his gazed towards the old preacher and begun a slow menacing march towards

Brother Funco.

Tenlong was now totally lost in a fearsome rage that overpowered him utterly. He would never harm anyone except for self defense but that teenager was now lost to some sort of man beast that came

from within himself.

Tenlong started to run towards the old Funco with the intent to harm him.

Funco cried out to his God for intervention.

Tenlong had threw a punch less than one inch from Brother Funco's nose but something had stopped him in his tracks.

It was Master J that had stopped Tenlong in a rear naked choke. Tenlong's face was blue as the ocean as he was dropped to the ground.

Pastor Funco was left speechless by the sight of the fifteen foot tall plus Master J. The Gigantos's beard was down to his thighs.

Master J spoke,"I am his teacher and I am sorry that you all had been assaulted.

Pastor Funco,"Thanks, for the help but is the lad okay?"

Master J spoke,"He is okay now because I gently put him to sleep. He should revert back to normal."

Tenlong returns to his normal size as the black ki vanishes.

Master J spoke," My name is Master J, at least the name I go by at this moment in time."

Brother Funco spoke,"Where did you come from?"

The Giganto laughed,"I was from Lowroda originally many centuries ago."

The old preacher was surprised by the statement. He knew that one on Violio could easily live for two hundred plus years, when they were not killed before then.

Funco spoke,"So you are of the Giganto race, aye?"

Master J spoke,"You Think? What gave it away?"

Rin and Lin had grown up in the house where their parents were killed but the owner of the house always keep it hidden from the twins. The owner of the house was called Bines and he saw the two children of Iona and Donas as his own grandchildren. He was a very smart man and taught the two children about all he had learned over the years.

The children had wanted to leave the house and explore into the desert but Bines would not ever

let do so. This was due to firstly due to the danger of a desert and secondly the harm of the invisible hand cult.

Bines,"Children you must never leave this place unless I go with you or until I help you to be competent enough to battle yourselves. The cult of the Socanas desert is very evil and will do things to you that I could never repeat it to you."

Bines wanted to protect the twins from the horrors that he had seen over the years for as long as possibly could. He was a loving parent to the two children but he only gave them as much information as was needed. He taught the pair as much combat skills as he could since the twins could walk. The desert was unforgiving and it would not spare anybody, including children. Rin and Lin were about the thirteen years old.
