He hadn't been for ages it felt and he pulled off his clothes, leaving him in some rough clothed shorts and he dove right into the water, swimming beneath it, his staff now the size of a wand which was on his waist thanks to a belt of sorts he'd made recently. Surfacing after almost forty to fifty minutes, which, as a Mage was all he could hold his breath for without a spell and he looked around, smiling.

He walked beside the lake, eyeing the water. He still couldnt believe he was back. It was surreal to him, but he was happy to get back. He looked at the clothes beside the lake and knew instantly they belonged to Malachi. He smirked inwardly, contemplating just taking the clothes and putting it somewhere else, but thought against it, out of laziness. He sat by the lake, and just stared at running water.

He turned immediately and shook his head."So, the walking armpit has returned to us huh? Come, take a swim, clean yourself, I can smell your putrid stank from here King." He nodded and disappeared under the water, coming back up closer this time.

"I dont smell putrid." He took off his clothes and left himself in shorts as he doved in. He made sure to take a few laps, he missed the feel of this lake, the way it used to calm him when he was upset. He dove down, looking around. It still looked the same. He swam back up the surface surverying the area. "So what's been happening?" He knew Malachi could hear him from anywhere he was at.

"Well, I heard the young one told you about everything, and I assumed he would. But let's see, I've been as Malachi as ever." He nodded and swam towards Hannibal, looking at him closely."Your eyes show me that you have done a lot of growing. Not physically of course, but inside of that empty space you have there." he tapped the side of Hannibal's head."Sometimes I wonder where the time went, when the young boy I knew grew up into such an old stupid man." he laughed.

He rolled his eyes. "Stupid, I'm not. You're right, I grew up a lot. Had no choice but to grow up." He dove down, and swam all the way down, until he touched the bottom, then swam back up. "He did. Interesting things he told me. Shame I couldnt see into the future because I would have never walked by that stupid shaft and had this happen. But something good came out of it, a few things actually." He shook his head. "You're always as 'Malachi' as ever, nothing surprising there. Been told you have some sort of secret, eh."

"And by whose mouth were you told this bit of infortmation little Hannibal King?" He floated on his back for awhile, remembering times of long ago."Me? A secret? Why would I ever hold a secret?" He smiled slyly, knowing full well that he had always kept things from Hannibal, telling him some things, refraining from others until he felt Hannibal could understand through his own life experiences.

"By someone concerned." He brought his arms from the water and just cracked his knuckled. "I know better now. You have a lot of secrets you just never want to say it. So what's going on now, hm? Being 3,000 years older gives you extra insights on how the world and people work." He gave a firm nod.

"Of course it does, but an extra thousand gives you the ability to withhold any further insight to those who wish to see more." He winked and then looked at Hannibal."Something of the past, of my past, perhaps coming back to bite my me in my rear." He nodded and put his hands on Hannibal's cheeks."You my son, are in for a rough ride when you go back to the Tower. You are very much in a position in where your house is pretty much no longer under your jurisdiction. Even the horses have more say than you do." He smiled and then pinched Hannbal's cheek roughly"That is for letting Tyr tell me to go back you buffoon. But I understand his actions."

He swatted him away. "Come on, Mal. I'm not a kid." He dipped his hands into the water and placed them over his cheek. "And what exactly is coming back to bite you in the rear?" He shrugged. "I dont really care. S'long as I've got a place to sleep and eat, I could care less. I've been told Mae and Vandos took over. Let them keep running the show." He shook his head. "I never told Tyr to say anything. He did it himself, for reason I STILL dont know. I was angry when I found out. But I'm not complaining, I've learnt a lot."

"As young as the boy was, he's a lot smarter than I gave him credit for. You needed this, he realized that I think before either of us did. You should thank him for taking matters into his own hands Hannibal. You needed to experience things before you could keep going." He nodded."Oh I know you're not a child anymore, quite the contrary. Perhaps I owe you that much, telling you more, having expected and still expecting for you to let me know everything and anything." He nodded."Like you once were, I was young too." He smiled."I know, I know, me young, who knew!" He laughed.

"Oh blah blah blah, Mal. Not like I havent already thanked him. Like I said, I've learnt a lot. Reflected on a lot of things, changed. The only things that stays the same is my libido." He laughed to himself then rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I got a brief glance at little Mal. Who knew a young kid could look like such an ogre. But what exactly are you getting at? You did somethings you're not proud of? You have some kids running around? Speak up, man."

"Liar, though, it's been know that I traveled through time since I was very little. For all I know, I may have went by you on several ocassions, but I'm far older and you know that Hanny." He shrugged."I was a young, foolish Mage at one point and I met a very beatiful, persuasive, woman, who happened to be a Mage of power as well. Well, as you may know, I gave in to temptation. You can assume all you want after that. It's something you've been good at since you were a young man Hannibal, so I will just let your imagination run wild."

He roared with laughter. "I KNEW it! I always knew you had to have had at least ONE kid running around." He shook his head. "Like father like son, eh?" He kept laughing. "Seriously though, I didnt expect it to happen at this point in time, too late. But hey, you should go to meet this kid of yours. Unless you want to deal with a possible Mae, type of kid."

"You did NOT inherit that from me Hannibal King! You inherited it from your father, he was known for his rampant affairs, for all we know you could have another brother or sister." he shut his mouth immediately and then eyed Hannibal."Sorry. But I know that my child's name might beging with a T or possibly an M. Other than that, I do not know of anything, and I can not search for him, I have not found him." He sighed."You knew that about your father didn't you though?"
