Chapter 740 - Trinity – Unexpected (VOLUME 4)

~~

Trinity

~~

It was over. Part of me was still trying to come to terms with that part. It was over. All of it was over. I could go home now. I could return to my family. I just needed to figure that part out. I just needed to find a way to get out of here.

While I was thinking about these things, contemplating all that I needed to do, I noticed that Rudy and Alexio were calling out to me.

"You did it, Queen Trinity. You killed the dragon. You won! You're so amazing!" Rudy sounded so happy and excited.

"That was wonderful, Trinity. I am sorry that I ever doubted you. You have proven to me time and time again that you told me the truth. You are a goddess. You are a queen. You were here to save the world and the underworld. All of it was true and I am so happy that I was able to be part of this with you." Honestly, I couldn't accept Alexio's praise. Not Rudy's either. I didn't feel like I had done anything that was amazing. I didn't think that I had done anything that was praiseworthy. I had gotten Edmond's soul destroyed. I had traumatized the boys. I had nearly gotten them all killed, myself included. I was no hero. I was just lucky. That was all.

"Mommy?" One of the boys was calling me. I couldn't see them, but I had a feeling that it was Zayden. "Mommy, is it over now? Is it all done?"

"Yes, baby boy, I am sure that it is over now. She can't hurt anyone anymore."

"That's good." He seemed to sigh in relief.

At that moment, I wanted to hug my boys. I wanted them to know that I was still here with them. I wanted them to feel safe. So, I started to lower the platform. However, I realized then that I was covered in gore from the dragon. I couldn't hug my boys looking like this. I needed to clean myself first.

Well, it just so happens that I knew some magic that could help me with that. I quickly enveloped myself with wind and water. Even as the platform came down, I was washing myself. I made sure that all of the mess was gone by the time that they got down to me. And not only that, but I was dried as well. That was what the wind was for, after all. I needed to make sure that I wasn't wet when I hugged them.

Finally, the platform was now resting on the floor, which meant that they could jump off of it and come over to me. In true style to what little kids would do, the three little boys leapt down and ran to me ahead of Rudy and Alexio.

I opened my arms wide for them to come to me, but they froze in their tracks. They never made it all the way to me because of the bright glowing light that had just started to emanate from the area near the massive dragon's corpse.

There was a massive howling wind that was suddenly blowing through the hall. The light was getting brighter and brighter until it was almost too bright to look at. An intense heat was starting to burn me, almost like I was being boiled. And to top it all off, the ground was shaking. Not violently, but enough to unsteady us as we tried to look around us and see what was happening.

"Mommy, what is going on?" Zachary asked me first.

"This is scary, Mommy. What is it? Make it stop." Zander was next.

"Mommy is going to make it stop. She is the strongest. That is why she beat the dragon. Right, Mommy? You're going to save us again?"

Dammit! What is going on now? What was it that I needed to do? What was endangering me and my boys?

While I thought about those questions, I noticed that the wind, heat and shaking of the ground was only affecting the area that me and the boys were in. It wasn't affecting Rudy and Alexio. What was this? Why weren't they being affected?

"Just hang in there, boys. Mommy will figure out what is going on." I did my best to try and make them feel better. If I could keep them calm then they would be less scared and less likely to cry out from their fear.

Now, all I needed to do was figure out what was happening.

As I looked around, I noticed that the light wasn't just near the dragon's body, it was coming from the dragon itself. OK, that was something. So, whatever this was, it was still Hekate's fault. But what was she doing? I mean, she was dead, wasn't she?"

"Trinity, be careful. I think that there is still some magic left inside of the fallen goddess." Alexio gave me a warning that I truly didn't need. Still, if he had noticed it too, then it meant that it was definitely true, and getting to be a cause for concern.

"Sh..should Queen Trinity dispel the magic? Will that make this stop? Would that save her and the boys?"

"I do not know. Magic is not my forte [1]. I think this is something that Trinity is going to need to figure out." Of course, Alexio, leave it all to me. You just stay there on the safe little platform and wait for me to fix everything.

UGH! I was starting to lose my patience. I needed to figure this out right now. I had to do it before I let out any more of my dark side. That wouldn't be a good thing right now.

Just as I made the decision to do something, just as I rose up to stand on my feet rather than being crouched and waiting for the boys, the light that was coming from the dragon seemed to leave the dead body and shoot into the air. OK, well, I guess I didn't need to do anything anymore. The light was lessening, the heat was fading, the ground wasn't shaking anymore. The only thing that remained was the wind that was filling the hall. And I guess that the wind wasn't all that bad.

I didn't think that we had anything else to worry about. I mean, the light was leaving. Things were all settling down. Or so I thought.

I hadn't noticed that the light was just spinning above the boys' heads. Not at first anyway. But Rudy decided to let me know about that.

"Queen Trinity, look! Up there!" He was pointing right above Zachary, Zander and Zayden.

The light was first making just a circular motion. It was spinning over and over again. Then it was making a figure eight, almost splitting in two. After a second or two though, the light was almost forming a trinity symbol. There were three small ovasl all connected in the middle as the light spun faster and faster.

There were no more parts of the light that formed. Instead, it looked to me like the three parts of the light were separating and becoming three different lights. But why? What was the point of all of this?

Well, that was answered just a second later. Not even a full second really. The lights fully split and the three of them each shot toward one of my boys. The lights hit them all so hard that they fell to the ground, all at the same time.

"What the hell?"

Why I watched on, just staring at my boys for a moment or two, I felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. It was beating so much faster than usual. I know that it was fear that was causing that reaction. I was afraid for my babies. I was afraid that their souls were going to be destroyed, like Edmond's had been. I was afraid that I had failed them after all. I was afraid that when I went back home, I would find out that I wasn't pregnant. Either I never was pregnant or I had somehow had a miscarriage. That or the babies were just going to be dead inside of my belly. I couldn't let that happen. Please, Goddess, don't let them be dead.
