Chapter 763
Trinity
“You want to help them, do you?” A man’s voice cut through the room just as blue smoke started to come from nowhere.
“Mommy!? What is that?” I could tell that Talia was scared. This was something that she had never experienced before. I felt bad for her, my little girl. After everything that she had been through, why did something like this have to come along and scare her like this? Why couldn’t I just have something calm in my life for once? Why did this have to be the normal for me right now?
“HA HA HA HA!” The man’s voice was laughing at the fear in my daughter’s voice as the smoke filled the room. The odd thing about this smoke was that there was so much of it, filling the entire area that we were in, but I couldn’t smell it nor was it making it hard to breath. It was almost like the smoke was all an illusion.
“Who are you and what do you want?” I snapped at the laughing voice, unable to do much of anything else at the moment.
.....
“I want to talk to you, homewrecker.” The man’s voice continued. The way that he sounded, it was almost like he was joking with me. I mean, he had to be with what he was saying. Who the hell was he calling a homewrecker? I have never, in my life, tried to steal someone’s boyfriend or husband. Not to mention that I was very happily married thank you very much.
“Homewrecker? Who are you calling a homewrecker? I can assure you, whoever you are, that I have never had an affair. I have never cheated on my husband or cheated with someone else. I am in no way shape or form, a homewrecker.” I was pissed off. I didn’t like what the voice was saying about me. I mean, even though I knew that it wasn’t true, I was still angry that this man, whoever and whatever he was, had said those things about me.
“Oh, I will call you a homewrecker because that is what you are. What else do you call someone that comes storming into someone else’s home and starts to fuck shit up? What else do you call a woman who tramps through the different floors of someone else’s home and then kidnaps two of its residences. What am I supposed to call someone that does all of that? Hmm? You tell me Miss Trinity, is that not a homewrecker?”
I couldn’t help it. I started to laugh. There was nothing else that I was able to do. This person, whoever he was, had just made me laugh uncontrollably.
“Well, I don’t know which celestial you are, but I am sure that you are one, but I think that you’re a little misinformed. A homewrecker is a woman, or a man, that has had an affair with a married person and broken up the couple and the family. What you are trying to call me is a home invader. That is what you call someone that breaks into someone else’s house.”
“Well, excuse me.” Just as the rest of the smoke disappeared, I was able to see the man in question. I also noticed that he drew out that last statement in a very flamboyant way.
The man that had been speaking to me, accusing me of things, was very tall and very thin. He was about Reece’s height at least, but he didn’t have Reece’s muscle definition at all. He was unique looking though, that was for sure. His eyes were a bright glowing whitish blue. And I do mean that they were glowing like there was a light behind them. And his hair, which was white and blue, was styled to look like flames. Literally like blue flames. And the hair was by no means short. There was even a grayish blue tint to his pale skin. So much blue.
Looking at this man, seeing what he looked like and thinking about what he had been saying about me, I started to get an idea of who he might be. It was kind of a cliché though. I mean, who would have thought that he actually looked like this?
“Do not pretend that you do not know who I am, Miss Trinity.” He snapped a finger in my direction and a small amount of blue flames sparked from his fingers.
“No, I won’t deny it. Now that I have seen you, I have figured it out. Though I didn’t expect you to be so obvious and clichéd. Still, it is nice to meet you. Now, can I ask you why the great and renowned Hades is standing in my bedroom?” I smiled at him and tried to be polite. However, I doubted that it would be possible for too much longer. Since the smoke fading was making it easier to see the other people that were standing in my room with Hades.
All in all, there were half a dozen people in my room. All of them were celestials, and I could guess that they were all one of the gods of the underworld that the other me had told me about. But which ones were they? She had mentioned Hel, Yama, Mictlantecuhtli, Erlik, Mot, Supay, Ereshkigal, Batara Kala, Susanoo, Hades, and Lucifer. Well that one was definitely Hades. And that man over there with the black eyes and his short cropped black hair looked like he could be Lucifer, but I wasn’t sure.
The others were less human looking. They weren’t so obviously not human, but there were subtle little clues. There were horns and claws, wings and hooves. These people here in the room with me and Talia were all different yet similar.
They were all powerful, that was easy to see. Each and every one of them were strong and filled with magic. I knew that they were here to see me because I had been in the underworld, but did they have to do this while Talia was still in the room? I didn’t want them to scare her. And, sure enough, she turned to face me apprehensively and spoke in a soft voice.
“Mommy, who are these people?” She was wary and nervous.
“You can just ask us directly, little one.” Hades smiled at her and leaned forward so that he was looking at her more closely.
“O..OK.” she nodded at him, still unsure but being as brave as she could be. “Who are you?”
“Good. You’re strong. I like that.” He smiled before continuing. “My name is Hades.” He flourished his hand a little since he was already bowing forward.
“L..like from the movie with the really strong guy?” She tilted her head, pretending that she didn’t know who it was that she was talking about.
“Exactly like him. That strong guy was one of my many nephews.” Hades grinned. “Now, I will introduce the others that are here with me. This man here is Lucifer. Then we have the beautiful Norse Goddess, Hel. The intimidating Japanese God, Susanoo. The Incan God, Supay. And finally, the Turkic God, Erlik. We are some of the various gods of the underworld.” Hades was smiling and clearly enjoying his role as the group leader.
“Oh, that was the place where my mommy was trapped. She just got home recently.”
“That’s right. Your mommy was indeed in our home recently.” Hades gave me a dark look. I could tell that he was happy to explain things to Talia, but he was still mad at me for some reason.
“Well, if you were all there, then you should have helped my mommy. She was stuck there for so long. She was there because a bad lady was trying to get out. She was a really bad person that was trying to do bad things to people here. To me even. My mommy had to work so hard and be away from her family for so long. We all missed her so much. You should have helped her. You should have made it so that the bad lady wasn’t causing problems in the first place. Then my mommy wouldn’t have had to leave.”
I was watching these people before me listen to the words of a four year old little girl. I was watching the looks on their faces when they were reprimanded by her. It was kind of funny, in all honesty. I mean, there were a half a dozen gods and goddesses that were being politely scolded by my daughter. And every single one of them looked like they were ashamed of themselves.
It was interesting. Why were they ashamed? Did they know that they had been wrong? Did they know that they had messed up? Did they know that it was all because of them that I had been dragged into the mess? I sure hoped that they did. That would make this whole mess a lot easier for us all to clear up. I didn’t want to let any more of this happen from now on, to me or anyone else. And to make that a possibility, I needed all of these gods, and the rest of the underworld gods, to be on the same page. They needed to make sure that they were paying attention from now on.
Let’s just hope that now that their home had been ‘invaded’ once, they would be more likely to pay attention to their own security measures. Maybe, just maybe, it was a wakeup call for all of them. I could only hope that it was.
