Trinity

~~

The mother of all magic users? If that were true then that would mean that she was.. she was.. she was Hekate. On my Goddess! I was in the underworld talking to Hekate. What the hell was going on here right now.

Well, there was one thing that I knew for certain now. This meant that the other me had most likely been right. I was here because of this evil Goddess. But what I wanted to know was how? And why? How had she managed to bring me here, and why did she bring me here?

"Do not ignore me, Trinity. That could be very unfortunate for you." Hekate snapped at me after a few moments of silence. I could hear the sound of thousands of angry birds screeching in her voice as she spoke. In my opinion, that alone would scare most human beings. Good thing I wasn't one.

"I am sorry. I was just stunned by the realization of who you are." I did my best to placate her since I didn't know where she was at the moment.

"So, you have figured out who I am. Go on, tell me. I want to make sure you are not just some ignorant girl. I would very much like to know that you have correctly ascertained my identity from this short conversation."

"How could it be anyone else? The mother of the magic users, of which I am one, is none other than Hekate. You are the goddess of magic and darkness, isn't that correct?" My voice was still calm as I did my best to reign in my anger.

"Very clever of you. I am happy that you are not as stupid as you look." OK, she was intentionally trying to piss me off. If that was how she was going to play it, then I was going to piss her off by not rising to her bait.

"Well, you know how we mortals are. We live our lives in a bubble and are often ignorant of the true events of the world." I wonder what she was going to say to that one.

"HA HA HA HA HA!" Well, that was a new sound. And it was one that made me want to vomit. I didn't truly know if Hekate was laughing or not. The sounds of those angry birds in her voice obscured the laughter and made it sound ten times more sinister than it already did.

I remained calm though. I didn't let it bother me. Or rather, I didn't let it show that her laughter had bothered me. I am pretty sure that she would have pounced on the fact that her laughter had rattled me.

"I have not heard something that funny in a long time, Trinity. Thank you for that." Hekate almost sounded as if she were truly grateful to me, but I didn't buy it. "I mean, of course I know who you are, girl. I know that you are no mortal. No shifter or magic user is mortal anymore. Their lifespans are equal to that of the Fae now. How interesting. And it is all thanks to you, their goddess. Isn't that wonderful, Trinity? I think it is superb. All of my children now live for all eternity. They had long lives thanks to me and Thoth, but they did age and die after a long time. Now they won't" There was something childish in the way she spoke. Childish and sinister at the same time. It was like watching one of those horror movies where some crazy child-like dwarf pretended to be a kid and killed so they could be adopted and kill the family. It was really creepy.

"I am sorry, I did not intend to mislead you, Hekate. I used to be a mortal, and I live in the realm of mortals, so therefore I still refer to myself as a mortal. Living among the humans does tend to make one act like the humans." I rubbed the back of my head in fake embarrassment as I pretended to laugh nervously. "Ha ha ha."

"I do not want to hear your paltry excuses, Trinity. You are a pathetic goddess. You do know that, right? You are weak and useless while you are on earth, and you are weak and useless while you are here." That was pissing me off even more, but I couldn't rise to her bait. I knew that she was just goading me.

"Well, that might be true. However, I am a new Goddess. I need to fully commit myself to the job. I am sure that after a while I will get the hang of it."

"You will not." She snapped at me then, her voice so filled with anger that it sounded like the whole flock of birds in her voice took off all at once. There was cawing, screeching, and the sound of wings flapping. Seriously, that had to be one of the weirdest powers ever.

While I waited for her to say something else to me, I looked down at the three little imp boys that were standing near me. All three of them looked scared and nervous. I could see one of them shaking as if he were about to start crying and another one of them had his hands over his ears to block out the sound of the birds. The last one was staring at the sky as if he were in shock or denial. They all looked just like regular little boys right now that all I wanted to do was protect them.

"Hekate, why am I here? Why am I in the underworld?" I needed to ask her that. I needed to get this conversation done and over with.

"You are here because I brought you here. Or rather, I tried to. Those three led you astray though. They took you through a different door and made you go through a path that was not in my original plan."

"Why did you try to bring me here? What purpose will it serve?" The anger within me was starting to boil into a rage.

"You are going to get me out of here, Trinity. You are going to be my ticket to escaping this prison that I have been in for so long." There was pure glee in her voice right now. So much so that it terrified me even more.

"No!" My response was immediate and expected.

"You will not have a choice. You will do it because you are already here. And if you don't do it, then I will just keep toying with your mind until you cannot take it anymore. And while I destroy your mind, I will just lure someone else here to help me. I will see my freedom, no matter the cost."

"I will not allow that, Hekate. I will not let you out of here. The world does not need you in it again."

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" There was that screeching laughter again. That sound made me shiver. I simply wasn't able to stop it.

"I swear to you Hekate, I promise this to anyone and anything, I will stop you. I will make sure that you never escape the prison that you were sentenced to. You will never set foot in the mortal realm or the celestial realm.. I will not stop until you are destroyed."
