Chapter 3:

"Master status already?" Elder Jones asked with shock as Ianto came to see him.  The vibrant robes of blue showed the world he was a newly appointed Master wizard.

"Yes," Ianto replied.  He had bags under his eyes and he seemed tired but accomplished and pleased.  

"You have just reached manhood! Only 21 years old!  Most don't reach that until they are at least thirty!" 

"Thank you for the praise.  I intend to keep working to better myself but for the time being I am content with where I am.  I would however like to visit J.  Perhaps he is ready for me now?  Or more accurately, perhaps I am ready for him."

Elder Jones nodded and led Ianto back to the cells, not bothering to go slowly past those that held any but the the one with eyes Ianto had been seeing in his sleep for years now.

Ianto didn't hesitate at the entrance to the cell.  He walked right up to the kneeling man and laid a careful hand on the bare shoulder.  He could now feel the magic that flowed through the water and kept this particular creature out of time.  He did not affect the magic, only used his own to keep himself from being pulled out of time as well.

"I am here.  I have worked very hard for you.  I am a Master now.  What do you think of that, J?"

The eyes flew open and the hand reached out and grabbed Ianto's hand, holding it firmly in place.  A loud gasp broke the silence of the cell.

Ianto gasped as he realized what was happening.  The creature before him was trying to break the magic on his own.

"Leave Elder Jones!  I must help him and it is a task we must do alone!" Ianto called over his shoulder, not breaking eye contact.

"But it is dangerous to affect the flow of the water."

"Regardless, it must be done and we must do it together.  You may check on us again in a few hours.  Please go."
Elder Jones nodded and politely bowed out of the cell to leave the two males alone.

"I am here.  We will free you but you must trust in my judgment and my skills.  We have the power if we work together.  I will not leave you," Ianto said, voice quiet but firm and calm.

"Jack!" the man in front of him gasped.

"Jack?  Is that your name?" Ianto asked.  He felt a connection begin to form between the two of them and an affirmative.

"Link..."

"I will link with you and we will be bound forever.  Is that what you truly want?" Ianto asked even as he prepared to make the connection to the creature before him.  He spun his magic carefully and measured how much it would take to blanket the male before him.

"Yes..."

"Then let us begin.  Relax.  I wil guide you through this process and all will be well," Ianto soothed.  He smiled softly even as he cast the mack over Jack's body.  He whispered the ancient words of Magic and felt the power build up between the two of them.  he laid the careful lines of power with his mental commands, feeling the effects of the water begin to diminish.

"More..."

"I'm working on it.  It is a delicate process."

"Need..."

"I know.  Not much longer."  Ianto spun the last few threads of power and noted with some pride his work was immaculately interwoven.  He gave a mental tug and the spell contracted, shattering the effect of Jack being outside of time.

"Mine!" Jack snarled as he knocked Ianto over suddenly.  his clawed hands rested on robed shoulders as he leaned down and sniffed at the young human under him.

"Yes, i am yours.  And you are mine.  We belong to each other..." Ianto replied.  He showed no fear because he knew he had nothing to fear from the creature on top of him.

Jack tilted his head to the side before leaning down to kiss the irresistible lips before him.  "Too long... It's been too long..."

"You can speak!" Ianto gasped.

"Yes," Jack hissed slightly around his teeth.  He looked confused for a moment before a hand came up to touch his own mouth and felt that several of his teeth had grown longer and sharper recently.  "I have changed."

"What do you mean?" Ianto asked.

Jack said nothing as he gently pressed their lips together in a soft kiss.  He moaned at the feeling as Ianto melted into the sensation.  The wizard's hands reached up to cup the back of the head above him with a very soft moan.

The broke apart several moments later and simply stared into each other's eyes.

"I don't think is a normal connection," Ianto breathed at last.

"I'm not normal," Jack agreed.  

"Well, you are the most unique creature down here.  You spoke before you were truly bonded to a wizard.  And you look so human," Ianto replied, eyebrows scrunched together in confusion.

Jack nipped at the side of Ianto's jaw gently before pulling back.  "I was human.  Once."

Ianto sat up so quickly at the statement he knocked Jack on to his butt.  "What!?"

Jack righted himself with an amused look on his face. He knelt next to the young wizard.  "I used to be human.  I thought ... I thought it was all a dream."  He shook his head as he reached a hand out and gently touched one of his wings and part of his tail.  "This was never meant to happen."

Ianto stared at Jack with wide eyes. "What do you mean? You were not born this way?"

"I was reborn this way," Jack corrected.
