"Alright, you guys." I said as I turned to look at Rudy and Alexio. "It seems that the other me said the Hall of Damnation is indeed one long hallway, like a tunnel. And of course, the person that we're looking for will be almost at the very end. The reason for that is the fact that the newer souls are up here while the older ones are at the back. This is literally moving in the order from newest to oldest." I did my best to explain it all to them as best as I could. They didn't look lost, and they both nodded at me to tell me that they understood what was going on. That was good. I didn't want to over explain things to them right now. That would just take way too much time. What I needed, more than anything at all, was for them to just follow along behind me and do as I told them to. I would take Rudy home with me when this was done, and I would send Alexio wherever he wanted me to. Until then, though, they were stuck with me, whether they liked it or not. And whether I liked it or not.
"I will follow you, Queen Trinity." Rudy bowed his head with a smile. He was already quite loyal to me. That was interesting to see.
"I will never follow you like him. However, I will travel with you since I have no other choice at the moment." Alexio didn't bow his head, but at least he agreed to come along in what I assumed would be a peaceful, or almost peaceful, manner. As long as we didn't have any problems in the future then we were good. I just didn't want to have him fighting with me or Rudy on anything. Not that I expected Rudy to take the lead on anything. He was going to follow me like the lost little puppy that he was.
"Alright, come on you two, let us go. We have a lot of ground to cover right now."
I grabbed the hands of two of the boys, Rudy took Zachary's hand in his, and we were about to start off.
"You know, I can help you with the children." Alexio said, stepping forward. "If something were to happen again, you are going to need your hands free, are you not? I saw you using magic before. For your sake, I acknowledge that magic is much more powerful than my physical strength. However, I will still be of use with guarding the children. If you would like, I will carry one of them, or even all three of them. I will watch them while we journey onward."
I could not believe what I had just heard. He seriously just told me that he would help me watch my children. He was offering to help me. To protect my babies. Of course, that would be beneficial. However, should I trust it? Should I let him do as he said that he was willing to do for me?
Well, I had no reason not to trust him. In truth, I knew that Alexio was not a bad person. He was just stubborn to a fault. But he did have a point. He was strong and very fast. He would be able to help me with the boys if we were attacked again. That would give me peace of mind and that felt like something my mind desperately needed.
It wasn't just up to me, though. I wasn't about to force the boys to go to him without asking them. So, that was just what I was going to do. I was going to ask them for their opinions.
Kneeling in front of the three of them, I looked at each of them in turn before I started to ask them what their opinions were.
"Zachary, Zander and Zayden, what do you boys think? Do you want to walk with me and Uncle Rudy, or do you want to walk with Uncle Alexio?" I looked at the two men in question and dared them with my eyes to correct me in the way that I had said their names. Thankfully, neither of them did.
"Uhm." Zachary was looking between me and Alexio as he thought.
"Hmm." Zander was doing the same.
"Mommy, I think I know, but I don't want to make you sad." Zayden hung his head.
"It's OK, Zayden, go ahead and tell me. I won't be sad at all. I promise.
"I think that Uncle Alexio is right. If something happens, Mommy is the strongest person in forever. Mommy is the only one that can save us. So, I think we should walk with Uncle Alexio and Uncle Rudy. That way Mommy can keep all of us safe."
I felt my heart melt at his words. He was a smart little boy, and he hadn't even been born yet. And he was right too. About everything except for Mommy being the strongest ever. But I agreed with him that me taking the lead and them being protected by Rudy and Alexio was probably the best option that we had.
"Do you two feel the same?" I gave them all smiles to let them know that I was not at all upset by what I had heard Zayden say.
"I think it is good too, Mommy. You are stronger."
"Yes, Mommy protects us the best. You need to watch for bad guys." Zachary and Zander answered me in calm voices. They were good boys and they knew what was best for them and us.
"Alright boys. That is fine with me."
Now that it was all decided, it was time for us to go.

UGH! I did not like how that tall ugly dude was talking to my Little Bunny. He was acting like he wasn't in the presence of someone that was so amazing. UGH! I could smack him right now.
Oh, and let us not forget about the fact that he was standing there telling my wife and mate that he wanted to protect and look after my children. Did he think that he was allowed to touch my kids, or to even look at my kids? He was not worthy of that. GAH!
Then, I had to literally stand here and listen to my kids and wife agree to let that man and the other ugly asshole watch my kids. That was pure horror. Then again, they were all right in the fact that my Little Bunny was the strongest ever.
OK, well, I was going to get past this. I wasn't going to let it bother me. I wasn't going to dwell on the fact that these two men, Rudy and Alexio, were there with my wife and sons and I wasn't.
Nope. I wasn't going to dwell on it at all. Instead, I was going to take some deep breaths and watch my wife as she started to move them all through the Hall of Damnation. And I definitely wasn't going to imagine throwing those two men into one of those torture cells. That definitely would not be very kingly of me at all.
GAHH!
