‘Please, Goddess, don’t let my babies remember this hell when they are born. Don’t give them that sort of burden.’ I said the silent prayer to myself as I tried to figure out what it was that I was going to do. And where it was that I needed to go.
“So, do any of you have any idea where to go from here?” I asked them, a slight laugh in my voice as I did so. They were probably just as lost as I was.

My Little Bunny was still just as beautiful as ever. Standing there with the other people, those men that were nowhere near as good looking as me, she looked like nothing short of perfect.
I didn’t care that her face was covered in dirt and other stuff, she looked like she had been through a lot of hard times lately. She was still my Little Bunny, and she was still as beautiful as ever. And I could stand here looking at her all day.
“D..do either of you feel someone watching us?” The shorter of those two very ugly looking men spoke in a weak voice.
“Yes. There are definitely eyes on us.” Hideous and tall confirmed what the shorter one had been thinking. At least they weren’t completely stupid, just not worthy of my mate. And they had better not try anything or I would kill them. Even if they were already dead, I would kill them again. They would not touch my wife.
“Who could it be?” Ah, there it was. There was the sweet perfection of my Little Bunny’s voice. It was like music to my ears when I heard it. It had been so long.
“It’s a friend.” One of the boys said as he pointed at a blank space on the wall behind them. That was one of my unborn babies. That little boy, who looked so much like me, was pointing at the thing that was watching them. However, it looked like he was pointing at us, at me. That’s right little buddy, we are friends, not enemies.
“What are you saying, Zachary?” I gasped when my Little Bunny knelt in front of him. She had given him a name. She had named the boys. Or had they already had names and just told her.
“He said it was a friend.” The next little boy, another perfect copy of me, said as he stood next to his mother.
“Yes, Zander, I heard that. I just didn’t understand what he meant.” Another name. Two of the boys had names, that means that they all probably had one. And the first two started with the letter ‘Z’ so that means that the third one probably did too.
“It is hard to say, Mommy. We don’t know the words. But there is a friend here. He can see us. I can feel him and almost see him.”
“Zayden? What is it that you can see?” I knew it. She had given them all three names that started with the same letter. She did like I had with Reagan and Rika. My Little Bunny had named them all while she was over there, and their names were so cute. I couldn’t wait to start using them.
“I don’t know, Mommy. I just know that it is a friend. It was sent here by another friend.” Zayden looked confused as he tried to answer her.
“OK.” My Little Bunny just nodded at him and stood. She was trying to figure something out.
“Did you guys hear her?” I smiled at the others in the room. All of them were glued to the screen. “Did you hear the names of my new babies? Zachary, Zander, and Zayden. Riviana named them this time. She gave them all names and they’re perfect.”
“Yeah, and they look just like their daddy.” Mom said as she came to hug me tightly. “Congratulations, Joaquin. Now we just need to bring her home.”
“She will be here soon, Mom. I know that she will. Seeing her now. Seeing her like this. I just know that she will be home soon, and I can hardly wait. Though, while I am forced to wait, I can get some customization started. I can start work on the new nursery and I can order signs like the ones that Talia, Reagan and Rika all had.”
“Yeah, we need ones that say Zachary, Zander and Zayden.” Wesley was grinning at the screen, staring at his grandchildren and his daughter.
“I am just happy to be seeing my little Riviana again. I have missed her so much.” Samuel looked so happy that he was crying. “And the boys are so cute. I can see some of Riviana in them. They are my great grandsons and I can’t wait to meet them.”
At that moment, I heard my Little Bunny say something else so we all hushed and listened.
“So, do any of you have any idea where to go from here?” She was laughing as she said it. I know that she was nervous but that didn’t make the laugh any less beautiful for me. Everything about my wife was beautiful. Even in a time like this that was all that I could think.
And until this moment, it hadn’t hit me just how much that I had missed her voice. I had seen her every day since this happened. I had seen her face and I had helped to get her changed and bathed during these last couple of months.
However, not once during these last couple of months had I heard her voice. She hadn’t been able to speak to me. She hadn’t laughed. She hadn’t called me Fido. She hadn’t done any of that and I missed it all so much. I needed it.. I needed her.

I tried to forget about the feeling of someone watching me. I tried to ignore the fact that I could literally feel someone behind me, even though I couldn’t see them. There was no point in paying attention to it until I found Hekate and ended her reign of terror before it could even begin.
As I scouted the area around me, I saw that Damnation actually looked like it was nothing but a giant hallway. It was moving in a straight line from here to the other end, which happened to be out of sight.
And even though this appeared to be nothing more than a one straight hallway, it was a very wide hallway. Looking at it, I could tell that this space was many times bigger than my castle was. Even if I tried to make the castle like this, it would pale in comparison and that was really saying something. Since we all knew that my castle was one of the biggest buildings in the entire world. Unofficially, of course; since hardly anyone knew about it. Maybe one day we could get it on record or something. Hundreds of years from now when we reintroduce the world to magic and try to make sure that we all live in one harmonious world together.
For now, though, I was left in awe of this hall. Trying to wrap my mind around the sheer size of it was like trying to learn hieroglyphics instantly. It just wasn’t possible.? I was going to have to take my time with this and come to terms with it over time.
“So, does anyone know anything about this hallway?” I asked them, waiting to move on.
“No, I have never been in this area before.” Rudy looked repentant and embarrassed.
“I never intended to come here. You brought me here against my will. Alexio growled at me.
“I already said that I was sorry, Alexio. Next time I will let the hell snake eat you. Would that make you feel better?” I tried not to sound too upset with him. He was having a hard time as well.
