Chapter 744 - Trinity – Time To Go Home Part 2 (VOLUME 4)

~~

Trinity

~~

With a start I jumped and turned around to see something that I just could not explain. I knew that whatever this thing was it had been here with me this whole time. Well, at least ever since I got to this level of the underworld. I don't know how I had not seen it before, but for some reason I just hadn't noticed it.

This thing that I was looking at, this strange anomaly, just didn't look natural to me. Not in any sense of the word. It was so bizarre and unique. Not in a bad way, just like in a different sort of way. Whatever it was, it was kind of cute and adorable.

The thing that had spoken to me, the thing that was floating in front of me at this very moment, was like a little serpent type of creature. Only it was not a snake or anything like that. If I had to give it a name, I guess it would be a dragon. But it was nothing like the dragon I just fought.

This little creature was about a foot and a half long at most. That counted the tail. It had two slightly curved horns coming out of it head. Those horns were striped with a dark pink and purple. There were some odd little tufts of fur or something that were coming out the side of its head with it two tiny ears. That was two ears on each side. Or they both looked like ears. Tiny little arms were curled in on itself and the back legs held in a position that told me that it was shy.

There was a set of wings on the creature's back as well. They were flapping away quite rapidly to keep the thing floating in the air. The wings were the only part of the body that was not covered in fur. There was a light pink coating of fur that covered the entire creature. Well, aside from those wings and most of its face. Those were the only things that were bare. Along its back and down to the tip of its furry tail, there were purple ridges. They actually looked like jewels of some sort.

"Uhm, wh..what are you?" I asked the rudest thing that there was for me to ask this creature. I can't believe that I was being so mean.

"I am a dragixie."

"Okay, pardon my rudeness, but what is a dragixie?" The thing was talking to me in a voice that sounded like a little girl's voice. It was very childlike in its mannerisms and tone.

"He he he! A dragixie is a pixie dragon. Everyone knows that." She giggled like a little girl as well.

"Well, I am sorry. I didn't know that. But I am very happy to meet you. What is your name? And what are you doing here?"

"My name is Angel, and I was sent here by Talia. She is nice."

"Talia? My daughter Talia? How is that possible?"

"She is strong. And she is smart. She sent me here so that they could see you. They are all worried about Talia's mommy."

"To see me? So, can everyone back home see me right now?" I was a little taken aback. That means that they saw me fight Hekate. They saw the things about the boys. They saw me saying goodbye to Edmond. They saw it all.

"Not all of them. There are only a few. And I sense less now than when I started my journey. I can only feel four men watching you now."

"Hmm, four. Well, I know that Reece is one of them." I thought about it for a little bit. Who could the others be? I was drawing a blank until I realized that there were four voices that I heard encouraging me earlier. Reece, Trevor, Noah and Athair mòr. I guess that tells me who was there.

"Talia's mommy, I can help you to get back. I can take Talia's mommy home."

"You know how to get us out of here? You know what we have to do?"

"I do. You can walk through the screen." I didn't understand what the thing was saying. What screen? What was I supposed to walk through?

As I was asking myself those questions, the little dragixie moved forward and turned to face the long open hall behind it. This was the path that I had taken to get to where I am now. If I went back that way, I would only find a solid wall and no way out. How did it expect me to go that direction to get back home?

No sooner than I asked myself that last question, I saw something start to materialize out of the thin air. At first, there was nothing more than just a slight pink light that was glowing from nowhere at all.

The next thing that I knew, that pink light had started to outline something that I couldn't see. This thing, whatever it was, seemed to be about eight feet tall and twelve feet wide.

The more that I watched this pink outlined nothing, the more that it became something. By that, I mean that the pink that was outlining nothing but the air, was slowly starting to fill in. At first, it was just that pink light, but it started to change soon enough.

I went from seeing the seemingly never ending hallway in front of me to just a soft pink glow, and after that I was looking at some very familiar people. There was Reece standing right in front of me like he was waiting for me and would never be happy again until I was there with him.

I don't want to say that Reece looked like a broken man, but that's the vibe that I was getting from him. He looked like someone who was missing something important to him and didn't know how to get it back.

I knew what that something important was though. It was me. And I had a feeling that I looked just like he did. I had been missing him and the kids for so long. I felt like I hadn't seen them in years. And I needed to feel them in my arms.

"Reece?"

"Little Bunny?"

"Is that Daddy?" Zachary leapt out of Rudy's arm and ran to my side.

"Yeah, buddy, I am your daddy. I have been really happy to see you on that side of the screen. And I can't wait until the day that you are born, pal. I love you and your brothers so much already."

"I love you too, Daddy."

"Me too, I love daddy too."

"Yeah, I love daddy too." Zander and Zayden came to join us at the screen, as Reece and Angel called it.

"Come on, Trinity, come home." Athair mòr walked toward the screen.

"Come on, sis, we all miss you." Noah was there too.

"Get your butt back here, Trinity." Trevor laughed at me.

"I am. I'm coming home." I turned to face Rudy and Alexio. "Come on. I think we should all go at once. We will hold hands so that there is nothing that can separate us."

"Yes, Queen Trinity."

"That sounds like a good idea." Rudy and Alexio hurried over and took the hands of the boys. There was an even number of us, so there was no one technically in the middle, but I was there with the boys surrounding me and the others on the ends. The screen was wide enough for all of us to walk through at once, so we didn't have to worry about that at all.

"I'm coming home, Reece. And I am bringing everyone with me. Even you, Angel, come here."

"I can come too? I can be in the same world as Talia?"

"Yes, you're helping us, so come on."

With that, Angel flew to land on my shoulder. It gripped me with its tiny clawed hands but it didn't hurt me. Then, altogether, we walked through that screen and back to the land of the living.

I thought it would be like just stepping through a door. However, that was never like anything that it should be here. Instead, it was like we were walking through a really long tunnel. It was like suddenly, Reece and the others were very far away.

"Little Bunny? What happened? Why did you get so far away?" Reece called out to me, but I could barely hear his voice.

"The screen is a tunnel. We have to pass through it." I called out to him, hoping he would hear me. I wanted to hurry. I wanted to run to him. I wanted to speed this up. However, I knew that I would get there, and soon, so this short wait didn't matter to me at all. I was watching my Reece getting closer and closer to me and that was the best feeling in the world right now. "I'm almost home, Fido." I whispered the words, but Reece apparently heard them.

"I am not Fido." He laughed at me. "But get over here, Little Bunny."

"I am." It seemed to me that I was just a few feet away. I was almost there. I could practically reach out and touch his hand. I didn't though, since we all needed to hold hands and I had two of the boys' hands in mine. Still, we were that close. We were right there.

And that was when everything went dark.
