“Apart from warrior angels and new obstacles, have I missed anything else?”

“We have three full defence teams that are training hard. Saying that, everyone is training hard at the moment. We all want to be at our peak in case we are needed.”

“I’m still holding out hope that we can stop Barnabus before that happens,” Puff said.

“We all are. I heard you suggested hanging, drawing and quartering for the Hayes shaman,” Paulo said.

“I did,” Puff said with a nod. “But I’m open to other options.”

“Like splitting him down the middle,” Mateo said.

Puff shook his head. “No, that was just for Maggon.”

“So according to Frederick, the angels are better with swords than the gargoyles,” Paulo told them.

“I didn’t think anyone was better than the gargoyles,” Mateo said, looking surprised.

“We’re waiting for the angels and gargoyles to test that theory.”

“Call me when that happens, so I can watch,” Puff said.

“So, this looks hard,” Mateo said as they came upon the new obstacle course.

“Wow,” Puff said, looking it over. “Ares must have had fun designing this.”

“There is Maletayah,” Paulo said, pointing him out. “Maletayah,” he called.

Maletayah turned and looked, then walked over to join them.

“Maletayah, this is King Puff McDuncan and King Bob, and Mateo Thomas, the Dragon King’s Guardian.”

Maletayah smiled and bowed. “Greetings, your majesty, Mateo.”

“Please call me Puff. I’m sorry I didn’t meet you yesterday.”

“Think nothing of it I know you were busy. I need to introduce you to my men. Zeus sent us to protect his mate, but we can offer help wherever needed.”

“Thanks. Looks like Frederick is heading this way.”

They turned to look and saw Frederick with four large men.

“Didn't those four help with the cleanup after the explosions?” Mateo queried.

“They did, yes,” Paulo replied.

Frederick stopped by them.

“Gentlemen, this is Winnal, Plog, Stanley and Jaxton. Hades has sent them here to help protect me,” Frederick said. “Guys, this is King Puff McDuncan and King Bob, Mateo Thomas, General Delinga, and Maletayah.”

“It’s nice to properly meet you. Thank you for helping after the explosions,” Puff said, looking at each of them.

“Hello everyone. Thank you, sire. If we can ever help you in any way, please let us know,” Jaxton said.

Puff smiled at them. “I will do, thank you. Do you have everything you need?”

“We do. Lord Hades created our dwellings and made sure we have all our possessions,” Plog replied.

“If you find you need anything, see one of us and we can help,” Puff said. “I don’t suppose any of you know how to track a demon shadow, do you?”
