Trinity

~~

The meeting was getting off topic. With all the talk about Talia and the G.o.ds of The Underworld, and me feeding Reeselynn, we had strayed a little too far from where we were supposed to be at the moment. I knew that I needed to bring us all back to the topic at hand though, we had a lot to do, a lot to discuss, and not a lot of time to figure all of this out.

“Dolan?” I called out to him, knowing where it was that I wanted to start with this next part of the conversation.

“Yes, Queen Trinity?” He was speaking to me respectfully, like he was a part of my people as well. I didn’t know if it was out of respect or fear though, and I don’t really know if I will ever find out.

“You said you know where these caves are, the ones that Orson might have gone to. Could you give me coordinates, or an accurate description as to where they are? I can open a door and have someone go there to investigate it.”

“I can tell you, but I don’t know if that is a good idea. The caves are rigged with b.o.o.by traps. I don’t even know where all of them are. I don’t want someone going and getting hurt.” He looked wary and on edge. I could tell that he was telling the truth though, so I had no reason not to heed the warning that he was giving me.

“That is unfortunate.” I rocked the baby in my arms a little as I fed her. “Do you have any other suggestions?” I asked, but the answer didn’t come from Dolan. Instead, it came from Talia who was sitting next to me at the head of the table.

.....

“I can go.” Her words were met with an immediate no from three of the people that were in the room.

“h.e.l.l no!” Reece snarled.

“I forbid it.” Alexio’s voice was nearly as deep as Reece’s when he growled those words.

“Talia, you cannot do that. It’s too dangerous.” The more soft spoken Rudy said in as calm of a voice as he could manage in his panic.

“I am not talking about taking a magical door there. You’re all being so ridiculous. I have been working with Mr. Amadeus. I have practiced more with my soul projection since last year. I can send my soul there, look around and see what is going on. Even if the place was crawling with DOE soldiers, they wouldn’t know that I was there at all.”

“Oh.” Alexio was the first to say anything after what Talia said. I think part of that had been the reprimand she had given him, though it hadn’t appeared as a reprimand to most of the people present. “As long as you are not planning to go there physically, I have no issue. I am your guard, Talia, and I cannot allow you to put yourself into such a dangerous position.”

“Does the future G.o.ddess of the underworld really need a bodyguard?” Kirk asked, almost taking us off topic again.

“She does when he is a Demon that will be looking after her in The Underworld.” I spoke matter-of-factly and saw the recognition in the man’s eyes.

“A..a..a..a D..D..D..Demon?”

“The Demons are nothing like how Hollywood and literature make them out to be. They are not evil. They are more like the keepers of The Underworld. The true Demons were actually an ancient species of people that were akin to the G.o.ds.” Talia started to explain to him, but we didn’t have the time for this right now.

“Give him a history lesson later, Talia. We have too much work to do at the moment.”

“OK.” She dropped the subject, but I could tell that Kirk was hanging on her every word. He was definitely more than a little interested in our people. Hopefully, it stayed positive as time went on.

Sensing that Reeselynn was getting closer to being done with her feeding, I s.h.i.+fted her to my other side, taking the blanket with her as I did. I liked to feed evenly, so that I didn’t feel lopsided. This was how I had done things when Talia was a baby. After she was repositioned, I moved on. It had only been a second or two, so it hadn’t delayed the conversation at all.

“Talia, when will you be able to do the projection?” This was something that we needed to do as soon as possible.

“I can do it now. I have gotten really good at it lately. Mr. Amadeus is a good teacher. I have managed to project my soul and investigate the mountains. I don’t spy on people though. If they happen to be where I am in the projection, I leave right away. I don’t want to hear anything private. Mostly, I plant something ahead of time for me to find, or Mr. Amadeus will. I will find it and see what is around that location. It’s actually really peaceful and relaxing. I like the feeling of soul projecting, because I feel lighter and calmer after the fact.” She looked happy as she was telling me all of this. In a way, it made me feel immensely proud of her. She had been working so hard on her abilities and her studies. She was such a smart girl.

“If you can do it now, then we can get ready for that. Also, I want to call Crawford, Eldrige, Leelin, and all the other powerful Witches and Warlocks that we have at our disposal.”

“Why do you need them?” Athair mòr asked with his head tilted.

“I need them as well as you, Aunt Glory, and all the best Fae magicians. We are going to erect a barrier around the city.”

“What kind of barrier?” He asked, finally understanding what was about to happen.

“Well, I can’t use a barrier that will keep everyone out of the city, or everyone in. We need to make this barrier special. It needs to have a way to alert us if a specific person comes into the city. We will have a notification device that will tell us when he comes near. I know that, when it comes down to everything, Orson is going to try to attack us here, at the castle. We need to protect ourselves, the citizens in the compound, and the citizens that live in neighboring Trinity Falls. He will definitely put those two together and know that they are all super naturals.”

“Yes, I agree.” Aunt Glory said in her soft and sweet voice. “We need to protect all of our people. We have a lot of Fae that are living in Trinity Falls. They came here so that they could have more freedom in the world, we need to protect that for them now.”

“Agreed. I am sorry, sincerely, to all of you. This whole reveal was my fault.”

“No. It wasn’t your fault, Queen Trinity.” Dolan hung his head in shame. “It was Orson, and the rest of us. We were investigating you. We knew that something was off with all of you, and Orson wanted to expose you. I didn’t stop him, and I should have. You did what you needed to. If you hadn’t revealed yourselves first, then you likely would have ended up being persecuted even more. The world would have been unprepared for all of you. All of your people would have been treated as villains. What you did was for the best, and I applaud you for knowing that from the beginning. You did the right thing.”

“Thank you, Dolan. I appreciate that.” Having him, a human, tell me that it was the best course of action, helped to settle some of the guilt that I had been carrying around. And add to that the fact that he used to be against us, that made the whole thing even more flattering and comforting.

“Alright, moving on,” Reece cleared his throat and brought us back once again, “Talia, you can project your soul that easily? And you can do it right now? Is there anything that you need before we start?”

“Just a comfortable place to sit or lay down. My body doesn’t exactly work when my soul leaves it. It would be best for me all around if I had a place to be protected.”

“I can get you a pillow, Talia, you can lay here next to me.” Alexio was already on his feet.

“I will get the pillow, you stay here.” Rudy was already running out of the office. He was the more subservient of the two. In a way, it was like he knew that he wasn’t, and never would be, Talia’s primary guard. Alexio was the one that took over and handled almost everything, he had done that since she was little. He knew that he was caring for their future Queen, and he was determined to make sure that things were as perfect as possible.

“Alright, while he is doing that, I will call the others and tell them to be ready. They can get ready to come here after Talia is done with soul projection. I do not want to delay that at all. It’s best to know as much as we possibly can right now. Then we will work on the defense of the city. We want to make sure that no one gets hurt. No humans and no super naturals.”

“That is something that I admire about you, Queen Trinity.” This time when he spoke, Dolan rose to his feet.

“I am sorry, what is?” I was confused about his words, but I didn’t look at him too much at that moment. Reeselynn was finished with her meal, so I had to take care of her for a moment. It only took a second to get my s.h.i.+rt back into position, then I placed the blanket over my left shoulder and side of my chest so that I could burp her and cradle her. I hadn’t had much time with her, and as a mother to a new baby, I wanted this bonding time. Even with her being done with the meal, I likely wouldn’t hand her off to someone for a while. Not now that she was here in my arms again. I loved her, I loved all of my children, and nothing beat snuggling with them and feeling that closeness to them.

“The way that you want to protect everyone. You want to make sure that no one at all is hurt. No humans and no super naturals. You’re not just concerned about your people, but about all the people in the world. That is a wonderful thing, Queen Trinity. I hope you know that. You are exceptionally amazing in many ways, but if I had to a.s.sign a trait that makes you go above and beyond what anyone was to ever expect, this would be it.”

“Thank you, Dolan. That is quite flattering.” I gave him a kind smile. “Now, there is something that I would like you to do. Don’t worry, it isn’t anything bad.”

“Of course, just let me know how I may help.”

“Call Dayton, and have him come here to the meeting with us all. And your boss too, the director that was there with him last night. I think that a united front against Orson will be our best option here.”

“Understood. I will call them right away.” He was already on his feet, heading toward the door as another set of footsteps came running back toward us. It was Rudy, I had already picked up on his scent.

“It seems that we can get started soon.” I rose to my feet, still cradling Reeselynn in my arms. I was a Queen with magic, I was more than capable of carrying her and working at the same time. That is likely why the others didn’t step in to take her from me. “I will call Leelin and Crawford to have them get ready. Athair mòr, can you contact the Fae Magician? After I make the call to Crawford, he can contact the others for me. I want everyone that is going to help ready to leave in an hour. We need to get a move on with this barrier.”

“Yes, I will call them now.” Athair mòr nodded. “We will make sure that the barrier is perfect, Trinity. There is nothing to worry about.”

Dolan stepped out of the room and started to make his call. At the same time, Athair mòr stepped to the corner next to the window and began contacting the people that were on his list. Me, I wasn’t able to connect mentally to the Witches and Warlocks like I could the s.h.i.+fters, it wasn’t as effective. So, I pulled my phone from my pocket and pressed the b.u.t.ton to call the leader of the Aerie Convento. The council of the Witches and Warlocks was still running strong in their mansion in the mountains. They would be willing to help, of that I was sure. They had no reason to say no to their Queen after all.
