Trinity

~~

I couldn't believe what had just happened. This was further proof for me that I was a Trinity. I was three species: wolf, witch, and fae. And now I was blessed by three different celestials: Nehalennia, Thoth, and Danu. I wondered for a moment what other true trinities there were in my life.

I couldn't think about it for long though. I was pulled back to reality, or whatever you wanted to call this plane of existence, when the Goddess spoke again.

"Now, Ríon Trinity, I have another gift for you. This gift is not something that you can truly take with you, however, it will still be very beneficial for you." With a wave of her hand. Danu summoned the two men that were behind her. They wore cloaks that covered their faces, and I could not tell who, or what, they were. I just believed they were men because of the size and shape of them.

The moment they were next to the Goddess they lowered their hoods. The man on the right was tall, pale, and looked very familiar. His hair was a gradient of blues, but they went from light to dark unlike someone else I knew. His eyes were three shades of blue; a dark blue that was almost black, then sapphire, and on the inside was a bright blue that almost looked white. It was unique seeing that the eyes went from black to light to black again.

The other man was the same height, the same build, the same complexion, even the same eyes. His hair was all that was different about him. The hair, instead of blues or multiple shades, was red. Just one shade of red. It was a warm looking medium auburn that didn't appear to be Fae like at all.

I felt like I knew them already. I may not have met them, but I knew who they were at least. Antirrhinum and Fynn. They were my ancestors.

"Fynn? Rhinum?" I heard the awe in my voice as I just stared at them. "B..but aren't you d..d..d-?"

"Yes." Rhinum nodded and answered before I could finish the word. "We both perished long ago. We were brought here by Danu. She thought that we might be able to offer some assistance and guidance, or comfort at the very least."

"Aye, we never got to meet the families that we left behind, and we know that left burdens on you all. For that, we are sorry."

Seeing them made me wish that there was someone else that I could see. I truly wanted to see my mother more than these two. She was part Fae too, right? Shouldn't Danu be able to bring her here? I didn't ask though. That wouldn't be right.

"Trinity, I wanted to tell my wife what I was. I wanted to explain it all. But I didn't want to do it right before I left. I thought that she might see that as me abandoning her rather than going to war. I wanted to explain it all when I got back. I didn't expect to die."

"How did you die though? What battle were you in?" I felt like I needed to know this.

"Everyone believed that I went off to fight in the world war. That was not true. I was summoned by a vampire clan to assist them in a territory war. I had long since registered myself with a band of warriors that traveled the world and helped those in need. I may have found my destiny, but that didn't mean that I could forget about my responsibilities. Can you and the others ever forgive me?"

I felt the sorrow in him when he asked me that. He was truly worrying that we hated him this whole time.

"We did. We never blamed you. I don't know about my grandmother or great grandmother, but they passed on a long time ago."

"I am glad that you do not blame me. I have made peace with my wife and daughter long ago." That was comforting to know. They were all together, wherever they are.

"Trinity?" The other man called out to me as he came closer. He placed both of his hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eyes. "You are quite the powerful woman. I am beyond happy that I have a descendant such as yourself. Never let anyone ever tell you that you are less for not being pure. You, the way that you are, is what will usher in the new wave of peace for the world. There is no one else that can do it except for you."

I felt like he was giving me a mission. It was like he was telling me that I had a destiny to fulfill, and I didn't even know about it.

"One more thing, Trinity." He looked at me fiercely, his eyes full of seriousness. "That pendant that you are wearing. Let me see it for a moment."

"What? This one?" I pulled the necklace out from behind the cloak. It was the necklace that my mother had left for me. I had been wearing it regularly again ever since the babies were born. I felt like it gave me strength.

"Yes, this one." He smiled at it like it was a long lost love.

I didn't really understand it. The pendant was just a silver caged tree. It was round with the tree's leaves and branches filling the space.

"This is not what you thought it was. The magic has grown within it since it was taken off the woman that I gave it to. But the power is still there, growing stronger and stronger all the time."

"What do you mean?" I was confused, but I gathered that there was more to this story than I thought that there was.

"Show this to my father, Trinity. Show it to him and have him explain it to you. And tell him that I never once blamed him for sending me to war. Tell him he was the best father I could have asked for, and that I want him to move on."

With that Rhinum hugged me tightly. He held me close as if he was holding someone he missed.

"And give this hug to my father for me." When he pulled back there were tears in Rhinum's eyes.

"I will."
