Maletayah smiled. “Then I will, thank you.”

“Han?” Frederick asked.

Han smiled. “I will do, thank you.”

“I see Tudor has finished resting, come and I’ll introduce you both,” Frederick said to Maletayah and Jaxton.

Tudor had finished eating and now had a drink in his hand when Frederick and Hades, Han, Jaxton and Maletayah walked over to their group.

“Tudor, welcome back,” Hades said.

Tudor pulled Hades into a hug, and he laughed. Tudor then pulled Frederick into a hug and pulled a surprised Han into one.

“How was your rest?” Han asked, pulling back.

“Long so long and I’m glad it’s now over it sounds like I missed a lot while I was resting some of which I’m glad I missed.”

Alex rested his hand on Tudor’s back, and he stopped talking.

“Sweetheart, meet Maletayah. He is the leader of the warrior angels sent to protect Battle. He also taught me how to use a sword when I was a lot younger.”

Maletayah laughed. “I did indeed.”

“And this is Jaxton, one of the demons protecting Frederick. Gents, this is King Tudor Brown of the gargoyles.”

“Do we bow or not, sire?” Jaxton asked, smiling at him.

“Oh no please don’t no one should have to bow to me I’m just me and we’re all pack mates here well family really have I welcomed you both to the family I think I have but if not welcome and please just call me Tudor.”

Alex tapped his back. “Take a breath, my darling.”

“So, no bowing, got it,” Maletayah said with a grin.

“Tudor, apparently warrior angels are better with the sword than gargoyles,” Frederick told him, grinning.

Tudor gasped and the others laughed.

“We’ll have to test that theory don’t you think we can find the best gargoyle here and they can prove you wrong I’m sure everyone will want to watch that don’t you think?”

Alex patted his back.

“You’re right, Tudor,” Puff said. “Everyone will want to see that.”

“I can’t wait. It’s been a long time since I’ve shown off my skills,” Maletayah replied, smiling.

“Wait until you see his steel wings,” Frederick said. “I caught a glance of Maletayah earlier flying with them.”

“I can’t wait until I see them,” Puff said. He looked at Tudor. “Want to come and meet Atticus’ family?”

“Yes I want to check on Atticus I know everyone has said you’re all fine but I want to see everyone.”

Puff slipped his arm through Tudor’s. “We’ll see you later.”

“You will,” Han said.

Tudor waved, and Puff led them away. Alex and Mateo joined them.

“The gargoyle king is a happy chatterbox,” Jaxton commented.
