Trinity

"Calm down, Trinity." I heard a voice coming across the wind to me. It almost sounded like it was soft and whispered, but I knew that it had to have been yelled or screamed at me to be able to even reach me at all. "Calm down. Take a deep breath. And then we will fight this dragon woman together. We will end Hekate together."
I recognized that the voice was that of my father's. He was trying to help me out, but he wasn't the only one.
"It's OK Mommy, the dragon lady can't beat you."
"We believe in you, Mommy."
"You're strong, Mommy. You can do this. I know you can." The boys, Zachary, Zander and Zayden, all gave me encouragement that was soon followed by Rudy's and then Alexio's.
"It's alright, Queen Trinity. Calm down and focus. I know that you can do this. You can do anything. You are the amazing Goddess Queen Trinity."
"Come on, Trinity. You've been proving me wrong this whole time, don't stop now. Don't let it get to you now. You've got to keep fighting or I won't follow you anymore. I believe you can do it."
All of the voices sounded like they came at me as whispers in the wind, but I don't really think that they were whispers, or even screams or yells. No, these felt like something more than that to me. This felt like they were just thinking these things and the thoughts were reaching me inside of the whirlwind. And that wasn't all either.
"COME ON, LITTLE BUNNY! Slow down and think it through. You've got this." I heard Reece's voice as well. I heard him encouraging me and giving me support even though he wasn't here right now at all.
"Yeah, that's right Trinity, you've got this, sis. Let's go." Noah's encouraging voice came in next. He was sad but I could also tell that he was proud of me. And just hearing his voice after all of this time made me want to cry. I missed him and Reece so much. And everyone else as well of course.
"You're the best Bunny ever, Trinity, come on and do this. Prove to Reece that you have got what it takes." Trevor was the next one to start yelling out to me and I nearly cried when he supported me with his words. I don't know how I was hearing these voices or why, but it was enough to make me feel so loved.
"I believe in you, Gariníon. I know that you can do this. We all know it." Even Athair mòr was giving me support right now.
How was it that I was hearing these people? How was it that they were giving me this type of encouragement when I knew for a fact that they weren't here with me and that they didn't know what was going on? Was this just a general support that they were sending my way? Were they just telling me to beat whatever was happening to me? Even if that was all that it was, it was helping me out. It was making me feel loved and supported. And man, support was truly something that I needed right now. I needed to know that people still cared about me and that they hadn't given up on me. And these words couldn't have come at a better time than right now.
I stopped moving altogether for a few moments. I didn't want to move and make any more noise. I wanted to see if there were any more voices that were going to come to support me. If there were, I didn't want to be making noise and causing them to not be heard. I wanted to hear them and feel their love and support.
Well, unfortunately, I didn't hear anyone else's voice calling out to me. I didn't hear any other voices that were filled with love and support for me. However, I did feel the love that the others had for me. It was almost overwhelming. And I know that it was real. It was like everyone back home who loved me had sent some of that love here to the underworld with me.
And that love that they were sending me. That feeling that I was getting from all of them. It was calming me down and making me take the slow deep breath that I had been needing.
All of that love and support was giving me just what I had been missing in this moment, and for that I would be forever grateful to them. This was amazing. It felt like there were a few dozen people trying to hug me at the same time, but it wasn't chaos or anything. It was just pure love and happiness.
I could feel all the love that they were sending me. And with all the support that the people I loved and that loved me were sending me, I felt like I could do anything. I felt like I was on top of the world and was able to take on anything and everything.
There was something else that I was feeling too. I had been on the verge of tears before Athair mòr said his words and before the feelings came from the others. And now that I had experienced all of that, I truly was crying. They weren't sad tears, not all of them. They were happy tears for that connection to them all.
I was a little sad though. I missed everyone. I wanted to go home. I wanted to hug my children. I wanted to see my brothers and my parents. I want to hold my husband in my arms and know that I was somewhere safe and secure. I wanted and needed all of that. And because of that, I was crying.
Thankfully though, I had kept myself from sobbing. It was just a silent little cry where the tears rolled down my cheeks. I didn't try to stop them, and I didn't try to wipe them away. They were not tears that I needed to be ashamed of. These were the tears of love. Love that I felt for others and that they felt for me. I was lucky and therefore I was proud of these tears.
Not only that, but these tears were giving me clarity. They were washing away the desperation from my eyes. They were helping me to know that I could do anything that I wanted and needed to. They were powerful tears that were working a magic on me. And with that magic, I would be better equipped to take on the Hydra that was Hekate.
By the time that I looked back at Hekate, I was grinning. That was how much love, happiness, and power I was feeling in that moment. I was feeling so much that it made me smile at her in a way that said that she couldn't touch me. I was powerful, I was strong, and I was loved. That was more than I could say about the fallen goddess. That was more than she could boast at all. And with that knowledge, I was going to be able to take her down.. I was going to be able to finish this.
