Trinity

I had lost my sword in the fray. When I was rushing to get to Rudy, Alexio, Zachary, Zander and Zayden, I had somehow dropped it and lost it. That was fine though. I just needed to call it back out again.
I reached my hand into the air, into that other dimensional pocket, and felt my fingers brush against the handle of the sword. I gripped it tightly and pulled it out in a quick and swift maneuver. I was once again armed and quite dangerous.
Hekate was still laughing that disgusting laugh of hers.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" That laugh was so annoying. However, instead of slowing me down this time, it was egging me on. It was pushing me toward the goal that I had. I needed to end this bitch. I needed to destroy her. And that laugh of hers was just adding fuel to my rage.
That clarity was still coursing through me as well. I was seeing everything so clearly that it was like everything was pointing itself out to me. I was seeing everything in such clear detail that I knew that it would only help me in this next stage of the battle. Hekate was going down.
I started to run back to the top of the hall. Hekate was still floating in the air. She wasn't in the same place that she had been in since she had lunged at me, but she was still up there. And I still knew where I needed to hit her. I was going to aim for that same place that I had found earlier. I was going to keep going, keep pushing myself on until I got to where I needed to be. I was going to prove to my father that his death, the death of his soul, was not for nothing. He sacrificed himself and I wasn't going to take that for granted. He would be one of the heroes of this day. I would see to that.
With my intense level of clarity, all of the fatigue that I was starting to feel was ebbing. All of the doubts I had been having were gone. All of the fears that I had were no more. It was like I was completely uninhibited and free. I was going to do what I needed to do.
Finally, I had run all the way around the end of the hall several times. Moving up in circles and waiting to get to the proper place that I needed to be in. The entire time that I was running in circles, flames were being left behind me. It was almost like Hekate's whirlwind that she was creating with her wings, but I was running in the opposite direction as her wind was moving. I was countering her vortex a little. The strength of her wind was dying down with each time that I went around her. This was helping me out so much. I would be able to get to her a little bit easier. And not only that, but she was being pulled toward the ground with my rotations. She was being lowered and made it easier for me to get to the right position.
"There it is." I whispered the words to myself. It was time for me to make my move. "I can see the spot and I am close enough. It is time for me to make my move." I was finally going to go for it. I was finally going to kill her.
It took me just a second, if that, to be where I needed to be. I had leapt off of my platform and was soaring toward the spot right between the dragon bitch's wings. The moment that I felt my feet hit their mark I was already aiming my sword.
It took no time at all, a matter of a few tenths of a second, and my eyes were already locked onto that soft, tender part of the dragon bitch's back. That was where I needed to put my blade. That was the spot that would render her immobile. She wouldn't be able to move. She wouldn't be able to stop me at all.
I didn't hesitate. I didn't think about it at all. I didn't wait for anything at all. I just thrust my sword down with both hands and sunk the blade into the dragon's flesh.
Immediately, Hekate started to scream and thrash around.
"RAWRAHGH! RAWR! ARGH! AHHHH! RAWRAHGH! RAWRAHGH! RAWR! ARGH! AHHHH! RAWRAHGH! RAWRAHGH! RAWR! ARGH! AHHHH! RAWRAHGH!" She just screamed and roared the same things over and over again as she tried to throw me off of her back. "YOU BITCH! YOU LITTLE BITCH! RAWR! OWRGH! AHHHH! OWWW! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! I'M GOING TO… I'M GOING TO…"
"Seems to me, Hekate, that I am going to be the one to kill you. You're done. Your life is over. I am going to finish this and you will never be a burden on my life ever again."
"NO! NO! THIS CANNOT BE! HOW CAN YOU BEAT ME?! HOW!?" I could hear Hekate sobbing but I wasn't going to let it affect me at all. She was evil. She was crazy. And she killed Edmond. She deserved this.
I wasn't done with her. She wasn't dead yet and so I needed to finish the job. It was time for me to take pleasure in the destruction of this monster, just like I said that I was going to do. It was time for me to let a little bit of that dark Trinity out and let her have a little bit of fun.
I pulled my sword out from the dragon bitch's back and heard her roar in pain once again.
"RAWRAHGH! RAWR! ARGH! AHHHH! RAWRAHGH!" That was all that I heard though. After that I started to hack away at the disgusting piece of shit's neck. It didn't take long for the head to fall from the body, but I wasn't done even then. I kept hacking away. Blow after blow, hit after hit. I wasn't letting up. I hacked away at her left wing and then the right. I cut away her arms and then her legs. The scaley torso was next, chopped to bits and just laying there on the ground beneath me.
I had completely torn the dragon apart. I wanted to make sure that there was nothing left of her diseased and deranged soul. I was going to see to it that she was completely gone forever and ever.
I hacked away at the dragon long after her screams had died down. She was long dead, but I had continued to chop her to pieces. I hadn't been able to make myself stop.
I did though, finally I had had enough and my arms dropped my sword. The blade immediately disappeared, back into that other place that it went to. I was left there, panting and tired, but still somewhat satisfied.
I had killed Hekate. I had destroyed the evil goddess. I had saved myself, my boys, my friends, my family and the world. I had saved all but one. It was finally over.
It was finally over! That needed to be repeated.. Thank the Goddess, it was finally over.
