Chapter 566 - Trinity – Dungeons Part 1 (VOLUME 3)
~~
Trinity
~~
The following morning, I was once again feeling nervous. I knew that I needed to finalize the punishment for the dark Fae, but that didn"t mean that I was going to enjoy it and have a grand ole time. This was work, business, and nothing else.
I know that I was sitting there, looking somber throughout breakfast. I didn"t talk to anyone, and I barely even made eye contact with those around me. I was trying to get myself into the right mindset to strip people of magic and banish them to a wasteland for the rest of their lives.
Yeah, this was going to be easy.
Once we were done eating, it was time for us to head to the dungeon. Athair mòr and Aunt Glory were coming along with me, Reece, Gabriel, Vincent, Shawn, Dietrich, Shane, and David. I was not given permission to go without my guards and a.s.sistant, of course, me as a G.o.ddess Queen could not handle myself without the big strong men with me.
I sighed at my internal sarcastic remark. I knew they meant well and that they were just worried about me, but sometimes that worrying really got on my nerves. They"re all really lucky that I loved them. My mate and my brothers, that was what the guards had become for me. They were my family now, and that is what they would be for the rest of their very long lives.
The dungeon was in the catacombs that were beneath the castle. They were a series of tunnels that twisted and turned in so many different directions that it would definitely be easy to get lost.
If I didn"t have Aunt Glory and Athair mòr to guide me in the right direction, I would never have made it to the heart of the maze where the dungeons were. I did have them though, so after about an hour of walking we emerged into the large opening that led into hallways filled with cells. I didn"t think that there would be that many cells in here, but I guess since there were nearly a thousand prisoners in here, there would have to be a lot of them.
"Let us out of here." One of the voices yelled out as soon as we came into view. "You have no right to keep me in here." The man was colored like the night. His skin was pure black, and his eyes were all a very dark gray, there weren"t even any whites to his eyes. The only relief to the black and that dark, dark gray was when he opened his mouth and we saw the light gray of his teeth and tongue. There literally was no other color to him aside from black and gray.
"You are a prisoner of war; we are well within reason to imprison you here." I snapped at him after he whined at me.
"And who are you?" He growled at me.
"This is the G.o.ddess Queen, Trinity Gray." Aunt Glory introduced me to them.
"G.o.ddess Queen, ha, that isn"t even a thing." The man laughed at her words like he thought she was intentionally lying to him.
"There wasn"t, until yesterday." Athair mòr"s voice was full of anger. "However, the Fae mother, Danu, the G.o.d of magic, Thoth, and the Moon G.o.ddess, Nehalennia, all gave their power to Trinity. She is now the G.o.ddess for nearly the entire supernatural world. You will listen to what she says and furthermore you will do as she instructs you to do."
I could sense disbelief among the dark Fae. None of them believed what they were being told. They didn"t care that it was the Fae Queen or the Prince of the Fae telling them these things, they would never believe the enemy.
"Lies!"
"You"re trying to manipulate us."
"Go to h.e.l.l!"
There were so many people yelling all at once but those were the snippets that I managed to hear out of them all. They needed to see proof, they needed to know that I was who we were saying that I was.
Hmm, now how was I going to prove to someone that I was a G.o.ddess? What made G.o.ddesses and G.o.ds different from other people? I had to think about this, but I had to think as quickly as I could.
Well, I thought of one thing, and it was simple. Show them my true form. I wanted to tap into the power that I had been given and show them at least a little bit of that power. I needed them to see it with their own eyes. I needed them to see me in my true "G.o.ddess" form.
I let the magic flow through me. I didn"t think about what to do from there. The magic within me would know what it needed to do. All I needed to do was accept it and allow it to take me over.
A heat rose up inside of me. It started at my toes and moved up my entire body in a quick moving flutter, it didn"t hurt, it felt pleasant and soothing. That heat was almost immediately followed by a wave of cold. It was a calm, soothing sort of cold that made me feel like I was sitting in the air conditioning on a hot summer day.
After those sensations went through me it was like I could feel everything. I could literally feel the air all around me. I could feel the s.h.i.+fting of pressure even when someone breathed.
Aside from feeling everything, I could tell that I was glowing. It was like my skin was literally s.h.i.+ning. That was at least a little bit of a difference compared to how I was before. Not as much of a change as I thought I would get, but it was enough for now. Hopefully they would see that I wasn"t just a normal person now.. Then again, I didn"t know what they were likely to believe and what they weren"t.
