"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" There went that grating laughter that the dragon b.i.t.c.h liked to use so much. There had to be a better way for her to laugh, but she kept insisting on using that one. I almost felt like that laughter was a weapon of hers. It was that bad. "Look at you, Trinity. The almighty Queen Trinity, the G.o.ddess three times over, the all powerful piece of celestial trash, Trinity Gray. Look at you and what you"ve become. You"re nothing but a sniveling mess. You"re crying because you can"t take what I am doing. You"re crying because you can"t get to me and therefore, I am already winning. You killed some of my heads, but I am still alive. One head is all I need to make it out of the Hall of d.a.m.nation. One head is all that I need to rule the world. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" She really was stupidly confident and c.o.c.ky, wasn"t she? She really thought that I was crying because of her. Well, I wonder what she would think when she learned the truth.
"I hate to break it to you, Hekate, but these tears have nothing to do with you. Not at all. In fact, they are because I am so loved. That and I miss my family so much. Did you know that I can hear them? Yup, that"s right, I can hear them. Not to mention, I can feel the love that they have for me. It"s coming through to me. That feeling of love and heartache. They miss me too, and it"s making them sad. It"s a combination of those emotions that is making me cry right now. I can a.s.sure you though, it has absolutely nothing to do with you." I smirked at her, knowing that it would p.i.s.s her off when I said those words.
"Why, you little b.i.t.c.h. How dare you speak to me like that? You know that it"s simply not true. You f.u.c.king liar. You are crying because you are scared of me. And, who wouldn"t be? Just look at me. I am a dragon, a Hydra. I am fierce and powerful. I am enough to strike fear into the hearts of all that see me, including you. Stop lying. Stop pretending. You know it is seeing me that caused your tears." I can"t believe how much anger there was in Hekate"s voice. She truly didn"t like what I had said, did she?
"Believe what you will, dragon b.i.t.c.h. However, I know the truth and that is all that matters to me. I don"t need to lie to you. And I don"t need to be afraid of you. You"re about to die, right here and right now. You"re about to be ended once and for all. And I will be the one that joyously puts an end to you."
I felt a little crazy just then. When I said those words to Hekate, I laughed. I laughed long and loud like I was some kind of psychopath. Clearly, I was losing touch with reality. Clearly, I was becoming a very unstable, and therefore a very dangerous, person. What was I going to be capable of from here on out? What was I going to do while I was here? I just didn"t know and that was scary, while also a little exciting.
"Are you ready, Edmond?" I chanced a small glance over at him. He was standing to my right side, yet across the hall. It was a direct line from me to him, it was just that he wasn"t right beside me.
"Yes, Trinity, I am ready." My father looked excited and happy. Was he just looking forward to fighting in a battle with me as an ally, or was it that he had grown so used to killing by this point in his life?
That wasn"t fair of me. I was the one that knew how much he had changed. So, it was really rude of me to a.s.sume that he just wanted to kill someone now. I needed to do better than that. I was the one that was happy and thrilled with how far that he had come, so I needed to stick to those thoughts right now and not revert back to the old ones. I needed to be the solution, not the problem.
"Then let"s go, Edmond. I know that together we can do this." I nodded at him, hoping to be able to get this all moving soon. I was happy to be working with him and to actually see an end in sight. "All that I have left to do is to kill Hekate."
"All that we have left to do." Edmond had run across the hall and was standing next to me. "We"re working together on this, remember. So that is all that we need to do. You and me, both." He was smiling at me when he said those words. I never truly noticed how handsome my father was. He had a decent face, yeah, but it used to be sullied by the anger and evilness that he had inside of him. Now though, he just looked handsome and good.
"Yeah, we"re working together. I need to remember that. I need to make sure that I don"t try to do everything myself. Even though I told you to come on and I knew that you were here to help me, I still couldn"t stop thinking about the fact that I needed to be the one to finish this all myself."
"That sounds like a bad habit that you have there." He chuckled, still keeping his eyes on Hekate while holding this conversation with me. He was doing a very good job at mult.i.tasking with me. I kind of felt bad for being a distraction at the moment, but I had to be in the right mindset right now and this was helping me.
"It is a bad habit that I have had for a while. Everyone back home yells at me for it. And to be honest, I have a feeling that this habit of mine is why I ended up here."
"How is that possible?" He took his eyes off Hekate for just a moment to give me a curious expression before he went back to watching the dragon b.i.t.c.h.
"Stressing over everything that I wanted to do myself made me tired. Being tired made me unable to ward off the voices that were coming for me. That led to me being easily influenced by a certain fallen G.o.ddess dragon b.i.t.c.h"s words. So, now I am here."
"Be stronger in the future, Trinity. You are my daughter and I know what you are capable of. I want you to lead your people and show them what a wonderful leader you are. And I want you to be happy in life because I never could be."
"Yes, Edmond. I will. I promise that I will." What else was I going to say to him? I wanted to be better anyway. I wanted to do better than I had been. And if he wanted that for me too, then that was all the better.. I was glad to have him on my side right now.
