After a few moments of hesitation, I felt the two of them slide their hands into mine. Their skin was warm to the touch, almost like they were standing next to a heater or a fire before giving me their hands. I tried not to pay attention to that though, I needed to focus.
I was definitely a Goddess. I was actually two Goddesses and a God. I had the blessing from three different celestials inside of me. I wasn't a lesser god or goddess like these two. That meant that I should be able to do this. I just needed to focus and concentrate.
I focused on the spot directly in front of me and envisioned a door opening up before me. It took a lot of concentration, mostly to get past that heated feeling of their hands as I held onto them.
Finally, I saw the door begin to appear. The door was big enough for all three of us to walk through at once. It was large, white, and glowing. With the flick of a mental switch, I managed to make the door open all by itself.
Now that the door was open, I could see onto the other side. I was laying there against my desk while Vincent and Gabriel stood frozen in time. I wasn't completely sure if the time over there would freeze when I was completely gone or not. By the looks of it though, the time there had frozen from the moment that Vincent had caught my head.
With the hands of the two celestials in my mine, I stepped forward toward the door. I was walking directly toward my body. I needed to be there in my true form to make it so that the men would be able to see and hear me.
The problem was, how were Veritas and Sancus going to be seen and heard by Gabriel and Vincent? They wouldn't be physical in that world, there would be nothing to hold onto. Hmm.
I only had one idea for when I got onto the other side, but it wasn't that good of one.
"When we are there, do not let go of my hands until I tell you. Even when I step back into my body, do not let go. If you lose contact with me, I am very certain that you will just come right back here. You need me as an anchor." I told them the only thing that came to mind and I saw them nodding their heads like they agreed wholeheartedly.
"Yes, Trinity, we understand." Veritas answered immediately.
"We will not let go." Sancus just continued to nod his head.
You know, aside from the fact that they were both taller than me, I almost felt like I was holding the hands of Reagan and Rika. They were like the twins standing on either side of me and I was walking with them as if I were their mother. It almost made me smile as I thought about it.
We walked slowly through the door, and I was happy to see that the two of them were still with me. Time, however, was still stopped just like I thought it would be. I needed to be back in my body for it to move again. This was what happened when you visited the celestial realm, it was weird, but I guess I needed to get used to it.
Now that I think about it, I don't remember the time freezing when I visited the celestial realm before. Maybe that was because at that time I was just a mortal. I wasn't a human, so I can't say that. But I wasn't immortal at the time. Every time that I had been summoned by Nehalennia, Thoth, and Danu, I might have had a slightly longer lifespan than a human but I was still completely mortal.
Now though, I was a Goddess myself. I think that when you're a Goddess and going to the realm of the Gods and Goddess, the rules are a little different. It would be interesting for me to find out just what it was that was different about me now that I was a Goddess.
I will admit that over the three years since I became a Goddess, I haven't actually done much to 'explore' my Goddess nature. However, to be fair, I didn't know what to do. I was thrust into this position with no warning. I couldn't be blamed for not knowing the ins and outs of it all.
Anyway, moving to the present, not the past, I needed to get this taken care of. I needed to first figure out how to get into my body without letting go of the two childlike gods that were clinging to me.
I decided to just go for it and try to walk through the desk that I was sitting at, I mean what is the worst that could happen?
Thankfully, nothing bad happened. I walked through it with no problem at all. I started to step inside my body when I looked back at the other two.
"Remember, don't let go at all. And the moment that I am in my body and solid again, step out of the desk. You don't want to get stuck in there at all. I don't even want to know what kind of service I need to call to get a God unstuck from my desk."
I had to stifle a laugh because of my sarcasm. I had a weird train of thought there for a moment. First it went 'who you gonna call?' and then it morphed into one of those old TV commercials and I heard an elderly voice saying 'help, I've fallen and I can't get up' and then that one led me to envisioning a turtle stuck on their back and of course that led me to the Ninja Turtles. At that point, I had to force myself to stop thinking altogether, because clearly, I couldn't be trusted at the moment.
I tilted around and settled my 'spirit', I guess that is what I should call it. Anyway, I settled my spirit into my body and I literally felt a sort of 'click' that told me I was in place. Was I imagining that part? Did I make that part of the experience come into being because I was waiting for something that told me that I was in place? I don't know, but I know that I was just happy to be back where I belonged.
I looked next to me before anything else and I instantly saw Sancus and Veritas in their places on either side of me. That was good. And when I looked over my shoulder, I saw that the door was closing.
In the back of my mind, I knew that the moment that the door shut behind me, the time in this room would restart. At that point I would be able to speak to Gabriel and Vincent. And likewise, they would be able to see and hear Sancus and Veritas. It was only then that the two celestials could ask the questions that they wanted to.. It was only then that they would find out if these men would accept them.
