"Bonds, what kind of bonds?"
"He had her tied with ropes to his bed. He refers to it as their marriage bed," Fallon hung his head as in shame.
"Why didn't she tell me?" Alaisdair asked angrily.
Looking up into Alaisdair's eyes, Fallon said. "You have yet to return to her. You went to your Scot roots to prepare your entrance. This is your fifteenth time. And this was the first time it got this serious - usually, he would follow and try to talk to her while she was shopping. She thought he was harmless, but he is not rational regarding his story and where she fits in." Fallon replied.
"Where was I during these times? Off on a mission?" Again, Alaisdair was angry, this time with himself.
"She usually travels with you, as do your children. But in this area, only she is here, not your children. They are with your wife's parents, their grandparents. In this timeline, neither your son nor daughter are born. And this is the first time The Rogue has made it into this time and area, hoping to kidnap her and force her into marriage. He thinks he can change your history, and your children will be no more. But...."
Alaisdair again interrupted, very agitated." So he thinks of erasing my children? How... dare... he?"
"Alaisdair, calm down, calm down. Your calmness and compassion are what conquer the monsters. Not your anger," cautions Fallon.
Alaisdair let out a deep roar while his legs expanded another seven inches, and his chest became of a full-grown man. Dazed, Alaisdair falls to his knees and calls upon God to deliver him from all evil and give him the strength to capture and deal fairly with The Rogue.
Alaisdair's spirit is still agitated, and he bows his head and says, "Almighty, please forgive me. My anger needs taming."
"Tell me the rest, Fallon, and don't leave anything out. I don't have time to waste on child's games. My family is in danger. Albeit, I did not know of this family until you knocked me senseless with this information. But I have visions of my children. No one will harm them, and they will go away alive. The Rogue will be stopped. The final word from me on this monster."
"Yes, I see blood lust in your eyes, and you must calm yourself before you can overcome and take him down. Ask me any questions, and I will answer as I know."
What is my connection to the King? Our King.
"He is your sire," Fallon said.
"I am asking if he and I are related. I already know he is my King."
"Yes, you are related, "Fallon continued to speak after looking at Alaisdair's stern face. "He is your father."
Alaisdar said, "Why wasn't I told this? It may have opened my mind to remembrance sooner. And you, Fallon, are you related to me, too?
"Yes," said Fallon as he tugged on his beard.
"How?" Alaisdair asked.
"I'm an uncle married to your mother's sister."
"No, my mother has no sisters, only brothers."
Fallon said, "Your Mother and Father, the ones you know are your foster parents."
Alaisdair put his head down."I am getting a headache. This is overload."
"Yes, I know. We only wished to tell you after you had a couple of victories. There is a lot to take in and a lot of action to do, too," Fallon said.
"Tell me about my children," Alaisdair demanded.
"No," Fallon said, holding his hand in a stop motion. "That is the right of your wife to discuss with you. But, I will tell you, your daughter is fourteen, and your son is twelve."
Deflated somewhat by the delay of his essential needs to know, Alaisdair asked about The Rogue, "What weaknesses does he have? And his strengths?"
"He is sly and has a sweet-talking tongue, can almost hypnotize with his speaking. And, of course, he has proven he does not care about human life that is unimportant to what he wants," Fallon then asked, "Are you well enough to continue on today's journey?"
