SOVEREIGNTY 3

Alan was trudging his way back to his room, shit things were starting to get stranger and stranger. Opening
the door he sat in the chair thinking about the day.
“Alan,” Hopix said next to him, “are you alright? I felt your distress but it was over before I even had a chance to
lock onto you.”
Alan nodded and started to recount what had happened to him at the diner, “the strange thing though. he said I
couldn’t touch him as long as I was on earth but he could kill me. I shouted at him then he screamed, he said I might
kill him but there were many more to take his place then he strangled and stopped. I felt hin leave the body he’d
taken over, Hopix, I have no power on earth, so how is it possible?”


“I am unsure this planet blocks…,” Hopix started.
“We believe we have an answer for that,” came a voice behind Alan. “You didn’t actually hurt him here, though you
have no power on this planet, you do anywhere else. You reached out to protect yourself with out realizing it, you
are a rare find. If you continue to free worlds, soon, we feel that the balance of light and dark will once again
even out. Hopix’s planet will effect a bigger shift because of the total amount of magic wielders on it, more than
most, also she can go home to heal herself.”
Alan could only nod, then as suddenly as it started it was gone.


“Oh, Hopix, I met an older one of your people in the underground area with Queen Glimmer, he looked at me and
knew I had met you,” Alan told her.
“Wait,” a shocked Hopix said, “an elder very old feeling and looking?” Alan nodded, Hopix squealed in delight.
“Grandfather! He’s alive!”
“Yes, he seemed happy that you had finally done what you set out to do. Shall I give him a message when I return?’
Alan asked.
“No, I… yes, just tell him in private, I will be home soon, I feel that you will finally free them from 2000 years
of my mistakes.” Alan, could feel the regret and remorse flowing from Hopix, like heat waves off a hot oven.
“I should return, I feel I have more to do. I need to weaken her more before I actually fight her.” Alan said a sly
smile on his face as an idea started to form.


Lying down, Alan appeared in the same spot, though everything was as it should appear, good she is obviously
more worried about me than re-screwing up the world. Reaching out he could feel the free group of Hopix’s people dam,
they were a long way off. He was about to go there, when he felt another group of the tiny people heading his way,
sighing, he brought up his shields and a few other surprises. Slowly approaching him, he felt her before he actually
saw the squad of the tiny people she was controlling.
“So I’ve finally found you, I thought you were just a lap dog of the council, but you really are here to take the
planet from me. I welcome the challenge, too bad it will the mean the destruction of all my slaves to accomplish.”
A little pissed off Alan reached out and made a scissors motion above the group in front of him. Once again he heard
the woman scream then all of the squad were looking at Alan confused, then they were all bowing to him, reaching and
pulling them all within his shield he smiled.


Only a moment later another squad attacked from below, as Alan thought they would. Sighing he was always
surprised how predictive non-military types were, diverting each as they came up, he soon had all of them within a
shield next to him.
“Alright you bitch, that’s 4 of your precious squads you have lost. I know the more you lose the weaker you are, just
think soon, you won’t have enough to even light your ass on fire!” Alan laughed when he felt her anger erupt and
another portal opened, this time Alan was ready. Reaching in and grabbing the two most powerful beings he felt were
feeding the woman’s power, he ripped them lose from her, this time though, she didn’t only shriek he felt her fade a
moment before she reappeared.
“You cock sucking son of a bitch! When I kill you, I’ll make it as long and painful as I can, those are mine!” Again
she sent (sigh, again) huge fire balls, almost bored Alan sent back at her but stopped when he felt something
different. Drawing the two beings to him he saw that they looked familiar though at the moment, he couldn’t place
them.


Ah! Alan could see what she was doing, not unlike a trick of decoys he was going to try. Waving his hand the
hidden portal opened, the now false one vanishing, struggling to hold the fire balls and the portal open, he felt the
woman beginning to panic. Finally Alan sent the flaming weapons back at her. Hm, he’d have to remember that this
wasn’t a man he was against. A shrill scream sounded from the portal as he snapped it closed. Looking at the second
group he could even more clearly see the strands connecting them to the woman.
A snarl escaped his lips, as he violently ripped the strands from the second squad, again pleased when he heard an
extremely painful scream near where the portal had been. Looking around he saw that there were about 75 more of the
tiny people staring and bowing to him.


The 2 who’d been leading each group came to him bowing low, “We await your orders master,” each said a look
of absolute terror in their eyes. Alan’s face twisted into a mask of rage but calmed when all of the beings before
him began to tremble uncontrollably. Realizing his error Alan quickly waved his hands over all of them. Many looked
up amazed, all the bad thoughts, all the terror was gone, but how? He was a mazey the first male mazey they’d ever
seen not issuse orders immediately.
“I have removed all she did to you, your thoughts are your own, and this,” again Alan made a putting a hat on motion,
this caused most of the women in front of him, eyes to fly wide.
