A/N: Ok peoples here's the next part of my stupid little fic. Thank you
sooo much to the people who bothered to review. Reviews tell me that some
people care about my story even if the review is mean.
Disclaimer: I own everything that does not belong to the All-Powerful- Author-Goddess Tamora Pierce.
Notes: If you want to see any one else appear in this fic let me know via review. I'm not sure how far after Wild Magic the Protector of the Small takes place so I'm not sure if they should be included. If anyone knows the answer to that^ please let me know.
P.S. I don't know much about Thom except that he is Alanna's son so any thing in here is made up.
Ok that said on with the fic.

"Oh yes, dear mother it is me. Thom," he answered his violet-gray eyes flashing. "I had hoped to see you before Lilith killed you and she has been so kind as to let me."
"You. you're friends with her? You're friends with that.that rampant murderer?!" Alanna sputtered in rage.
"Why yes, mother. She is the best friend I could have. And by the way I've herd you called 'rampant' your self. Lilith could kill you right now if she wanted to and I couldn't stop her. You should be more careful as to the way you address her and me!" he answered as he turned to leave.
"Good bye for now lady! I've decided to leave you to your thoughts now and kill you tomorrow." Lilith called as she and Luke now Thom left the Lioness to consider what she had just heard.
"She's going to ask you why you left tomorrow I predict," Lilith commented as they walked to the tower to talk with Lilith's brother Kieran.
"You're probably right," was Thom's toneless reply.
"Well, I've always wondered about that. I know why Kieran and I left, but not why you left. Why did you leave?"
"You know as well as I that I have war magic like you. After I saw what the king had done to you I was afraid that he would try to do that to me as well. So I decided to make friends with you so we could work together to teach that over-confident prig of a king a lesson." Thom replied looking away from Lilith.
"Well, I'm glad you did." She said putting a hand on his shoulder and pushing open the door seeing as they had reached the tower while Thom talked.
"Kkkiiiieeeerrraaaannn!!" Lilith called as she entered the room. (Thom had stayed outside.) "So what have you found out since I've been gone?"
"Well, the king is getting very edgy since his champion and her husband were captured."
"I'm so glad we made him uncomfortable," Lilith chuckled.
"There's more. He sent his chief mage up here to try and find her. He's been searching all day. The king has sent the Wildmage up as well. They have been here for about a day and have already almost given up! I need you to."
"I know. I know. You need me to capture them as well."
"Exactly! Leave at once!"
"I'm taking Thom with me, ok? Bye," she called waving.
"Thom?" Kieran asked.
Lilith mentally slapped herself. "Long story Kier. Tell you later."
"Ok, be careful."
"What else would I be?" Lilith replied innocently.
"Reckless. That's what."
"Yes, brother, I will be careful." With that she left to inform Thom of their new mission.
*~*~*~*~*
A young woman of about 20 started a fire in the pit she had just finished digging and filling with wood. As the tinder caught fire a man of about 35 walked into camp.
"Well, hello. Where have you been?" The woman known to the Tortallans as Daine the Wildmage asked the man.
"I've been searching for the Lioness. You?" The man known as Numair Salmalin answered.
"I've been setting up camp and asking the animals for help."
Suddenly a twig snapped toward the rear of their camp. "Who goes there?!" Numair thundered.
"Only my sister and I. We are but lost travelers come to ask if you can help us." Thom called.
In the dying light Daine saw a young man step into the clearing pulling a girl behind him. "Please tell me your names." Daine said wearily.
"I am Luke and this is my sister. Kally." The young man replied hesitating before he named his 'sister'.
"I am Daine and this Numair," Daine told him.
"Oh, we've been looking for you." The girl said. "We were told you might be out here so we thought we would come find you and bring you to the fortress we live in. My brother might be able to help you find the Lioness you seek."
