42 chapter 42 (1/2)
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.
