    ... has appeared!"
    
    A moment later, an older male stepped out, a man I recognized from twenty plus years ago.
    
    The older man looked first at the younger male, then his gaze drifted toward me and my daughter. A surprised, then elated look came to his eyes, "Bill! A long time has passed, my friend."
    
    I nodded as I grasped the man in a bear hug that quickly became uncomfortable. I had forgotten just how strong the man was.
    
    "It is good to see you also, Tomba," I told him when we released each other.
    
    We both turned to start to walk along a path around the village. "So my friend, have you need of us again? Are you still with your government to turn back the invaders?" He asked.
    
    "No, after the death of almost the whole team, I no longer will accept the yoke they wished to keep on me. They treated a few of us like animals. I lost my temper," Here I lowered my head. "I am afraid that I destroyed a few of them. For that, I am ashamed, though not for the reasons for it."
    
    "It is unfortunate, though sometimes, a violent response is all that we can do. So, how can we help you?" Tomba said.
    
    "I am trying to build another group. We lost all but three of my old team. I am working to make them stronger, though, it is slow going. When last we met, we were at war with an evil race. After we defeated them, another moved in to take their place. This new one is far sneakier, plus they have more power though not the numbers the first did," I told Tomba.
    
    "I see, so you need some ...
    ... of like before? There are many that would be willing to assist you," Tomba said.
    
    I shook my head, then turned toward the younger male, "I do need help, though there is only one that I feel is strong enough," I told him.
    
    He followed my gaze to look at the younger male, then his eyes grew large. "Chum," he said with a broad smile, "my grandson. Yes, you are right, he is far more powerful than any of us of the older generation."
    
    "You see, I am afraid without him here? Your people might be vulnerable to this new race. I would never forgive myself if that happened. I mean my daughter was able to get through, she is below me, though has a lot of power," I told him.
    
    He turned toward my daughter, "if she accomplished this, then she is indeed powerful," he said as a sigh escaped his lips. "There are still many here from the time before. We just might surprise you, Bill."
    
    I nodded, then reached out to feel all the inhabitants. What I felt had me feeling better, though they really didn't have that much, though more than I thought.
    
    "Yes, I see that there are many here that could keep you safe. I will increase the protection to ensure their and your safety," I told him. "Now as for Chum, that will have to be his decision. Since he has never left the island, I might pass over him. Leaving one's home like this to be with strangers, would be hard on a young male."
    
    Tomba nodded a moment, then said, "I might agree with you. Perhaps, as you said, we should ask him? Hmm?" ...
