Trinity

While I crouched there, poised and ready to keep fighting, I saw something happening that made absolutely no sense to me at all. Something that made me feel sick to my stomach and pissed off at the same time. There were other emotions as well, but I didn't really understand what they were right now. There was just so much going on that it was hard to comprehend and understand.
I mean, as I stood there watching the dragon, it started to heal itself. Only it wasn't just healing itself right now. It was doing so much more.
The dragon was screaming and screeching, clearly in pain. But that wasn't all that it was doing. And the things that were important were really hard for me to focus on as it thrashed about.
I managed to see it all though, as hard as it was. I watched as the giant three headed dragon became more than that. The neck that lost a head was thrashing all about, disgusting black and purple blood was flying everywhere. The part that had held a head before seemed to be separating.
It wasn't separating from the body. No, this was worse. This was the fact that the one neck was splitting into two. Before I knew it, there were four perfectly independent and fully functional necks.
That wasn't all it was doing though. Not by a long shot. Both of the necks on the right, the ones that had just become two instead of one, were growing heads. There were now four necks with a total of four heads between them. And all of this head and neck growing happened in a matter of seconds. I wouldn't have been able to stop it even if I had wanted to.
"What the fucking hell is she?" I bellowed at the dragon, scared of what I just saw happen right before my eyes.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Hekate laughed with all four heads. The multiple voices made me shiver as I tried to not scream.
"What the hell are you, Hekate?"
I asked the question again, this time to her directly. She didn't answer. I knew that she wouldn't answer me. Why would she give information to her enemy? That would just be too easy for me.
I had to avoid four heads this time. When I saw that the dragon was rearing back with all four heads this time, I knew that I needed to be extra careful to make sure that she didn't catch me.
As I worked to avoid her heads, I tried to think about what she might be. There weren't that many multi headed dragons from legends and lore. And considering where we were at the moment, there was only one that made sense to me. I didn't know how she managed to become one of these, but she clearly was. And I didn't know at all how to fight this thing.
"Queen Trinity!" Rudy called out to me as I spun and flipped out of the way of the heads. "Be careful, Queen Trinity. She has turned into a Hydra."
"Yup! I kind of already figured that out on my own." I yelled back at him. "Thanks for the help."
I didn't mean to be rude to him. I didn't want to sound that way, but I was kind of fighting for my life right now. That left me a little bit testy and annoyed. I think that it would happen to anyone in my position if the same thing happened to literally anyone else in the world.
I needed to think about what it meant to fight a Hydra. There are different legends and stories about them. The main thing that was the same in all of the stories was the fact that if you cut off one head, two more grow back.
This Hydra didn't look like the ones that I had seen and read about in the past. Popular culture and things like movies, anime, cartoons, games and whatever else you wanted to lump into that category, tended to have Hydras with five heads. Some of them followed the other legends, and some of them made up their own.
The true legend of the Hydra was different. That was the one where Hercules fought the beast as one of his trials. And that Hydra legend said that the monster had nine heads. It also had poisonous breath and venom.
Let's see, I don't have someone else that can use magic in here so I can't cut off a head and cauterize the neck before one of them, or should I say two of them, could grow back in its place.
OK, so I didn't have the help that Hercules had. I would make do. I would handle this, one way or another.
Not only that, but I wasn't about to just bury the immortal center head under a rock to make sure that it couldn't come back for me. Nope, I was going to be more thorough than that. By the time that I finish with this thing, I am going to know for certain that it is dead. That is the only way to make sure that my family, my friends, and my babies were safe.

What the hell! What the hell was Hell throwing at my Little Bunny. Why in the fucking hell was she facing down a damn Hydra? Didn't she already have enough on her plate? Didn't they think that my Little Bunny had had enough? When was she going to catch a fucking break?
"How did that happen?" Trevor was standing just inches from the screen, pointing at it with rage pouring off of him. "How did that dragon bitch just become a Hydra? Yeah, she had three heads, but that didn't mean that she needed to be a Hydra. How many heads is that thing going to have by the time that Trinity is done with it? And is she even going to be able to kill it? Is she strong enough?" I didn't like the things that he was saying. He was having doubts about my wife. He was thinking that my Little Bunny didn't have what it took to finish off that monster.
"Of course, she can do it. This is Trinity we are talking about. She can do anything. Anything at all. She can kill a Hydra and any other dragon. I just know that she can." There was a note of desperation in my voice as I spoke those words.
"Reece?" Noah's voice squeaked just a little as he said my name. He was scared for his sister while I was scared for my wife.
"I think that Trinity can handle it. We all know what she is capable of. Don't worry. We have all seen Trinity in action before. She can do way more than any other person on this planet. Way more. Just have faith in her." Valerian's eyes were watering as he looked at the screen with my Little Bunny on it. "Just have faith in Trinity and we will all see that she comes out on top. Just wait and see."
"Yeah. Just wait and see. That's all that we're allowed to do." Trevor growled angrily as he threw himself back into his seat. He wasn't all that happy right now.. "Just watch."
