He is starting to sense a huge increase in her powers.  Powers  unlike anything he has felt before. His friendly tone fades. "Yea he is very  special cause he's my son and I would appreciate your letting him go now." He grunts when your squeezes get tighter "You think just because you are bigger than me that your squeezes and your big bad guards  intimidate me? What a laugh. You had better have a whole lot more you willing to sacrifice. You have no idea what I am capable of and what  I will do to protect my family."<br/><br/><br/>He tries to struggle to get free but she keeps tightening her grip every time he does. He focuses his thoughts on his tail.* <Don't listen to her son. She is very charming but she planning to do<br/>something to you. I can feel it. Listen only to my voice. Your Dad's voice. Fight her..> He hears a soft shaky voice* <I am trying Dad. She is so nice.  She makes me feel good.> He knows she is taking full advantage of how you he is with her feminine charms.><br/>When he sees her hand moves over the jewels around her neck he gets real nervous. "Listen to me. I can feel how much pain you are in. I can stop that pain. I am a healer and I am very good at it. I can tell you are planning to do something to my tail. If you do anything to my tail, my son, I will bring down upon you a world of pain that you can't possibly fathom. That I sware if you even touch my son. DO YOU HEAR ME!!!" Yelling as loud as he get his lungs to let him.<br/><br/><br/>Now he is getting really desperate. No one to help him. He wishes Jaku was here. One thing for sure he does not like her smerk. She is not listening to him . She is too focused on his tail. He needs to help his tail fight her. <Focus son. I am your Dad. I love you. Focus on my voice and nothing else.> He hears a soft faint <I love you too.> But he can tell the Queens charms are winning  him over. When he sees her jewels glow brighter then opens the middle one and takes out a small amount of liquid from it he knows he can't let that touch him.<Don't let that touch you. She's lying. It will hurt you. Fight her.> But the  Queens grip is so strong even he can't move his tail. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY SON!"<br/><br/>*But much to his horror he is way too late. He didn't move fast enough. He struggles wildly. "STOP!" Screaming loudly. Then his  next shout to stop is much darker and much more menacing. His eyes glow fire red and wisps of energy  flows of his body as he clenches his fist as he watches her pour the liquid over his tails skin then it opens his skin and sinks its way into his tail head like a hardened gem. He tries his hardest to stop her with his healing magic but for some reason he can't stop it. All he can do is put a powerful magical barrier around it to stop it from spreading. When she talk to him he snaps back angerly. "Don't you talk to him. Don't you dare talk to my son." When she loosens her grip his energy level soars. The air gets hot and sparks of energy. The ground shakes violently and huge rocks  crack and start to fall from the ceiling dropping on several of the guards seriously injuring them. One big rock drops and  crashes on her coils. "I warned you, bitch. I protect my family. My tail will never be part of your kingdom nor part of you. I have made sure of that.  Now, RELEASE HIM or I will bring this whole cavern down on you and everyone else living here unless you reverse what you did NOW!    I will do ANYTHING to protect my son.<br/><br/>But before he has a chance to do anything else he sees her spread her arms quickly. Suddenly he feels her coils tighten so tight all the air is forced out of his lungs. It happens so fast he can't even cry out. All he sees next is this white light and hears next is a cold sinister laugh when this wave of energy hits him and he is out cold.<br/><br/>The next thing he knows he is up in the rafters of this wooden building that feels more like home then he has ever felt before. He looks down smiling watching Jaku clean the bar. He sees Tamara and Suri getting ready to make drinks for the customers. He sees Suri carrying out their sign outdoors to show they are open that they worked on. It was perfect.  He has never felt so happy and content. Putting the barrel down he glided under the edge of the roof.* "Looking nice there beautiful." And blows a kiss. Then he hears.* "Yo Dad. Some help here. The barrel is getting heavy." He looks back under the rafters looking at his tail holding the barrel. His tail looks the same as before except for a gem between his eyes but it doesn't bother them. It's like its always been there. "Ok OK. Be right there." * Leaning under rafter.* "Love you Suri" And blows you a kiss. Then quickly slides back and carefully takes the barrel and puts in a space they built to store their hand crafted beer. Nice cool spot. Plenty of room for more. They all worked together growing ingredients and trying different combinations till they brewed the perfect beers. A true labor of love. Then he moves a large barrel of wine that they spent a long time working on to get the wine just right. "Yes.. Perfect." He slides down the wood pole to the bar. He double checks under the bar to make sure each is cooled to the right temperature and hooked up correctly. Pulling on each tap he gets each one ready.* "The beer and wine are running perfectly. Hey Jaku, Suri, Tam come here and check it out. We did it. It all works. I actually think we are ready to open."
