Trinity

~~

Hesitantly, I did as I was told to do. I took my hands off of Vincent for the first time since I had taken his hand in my own. I released him and reached toward the hands of the three celestial beings that were extended toward me.

The moment that I took their hands and held them between the both of mine I felt an immense surge of power. The lights that had previously radiated from each of the three Gods were back, and they were growing more intense than they had been before.

The clearing was instantly filled with a bright, intense light that I knew would be blinding to anyone looking directly at it. I was thankful at that moment that time was currently frozen. I didn't want this to harm anyone that was around me.

As that light blazed on, I saw that the three beings before me started to fade. Their eyes looked serene and calm as they smiled at me. They weren't worried about the fact that they were disappearing. They weren't concerned by the fact that they would never again see another day.

They were willingly giving their lives, their essence to me. They were making me stronger. They were making me more powerful. They were making those that I loved and cared about stronger. They were giving new life to those that were possibly at the end of theirs. And they were doing all of this because I had asked them for help.

Why? Why would they do this for me? Why would they give up their lives for a selfish request of mine? I needed to know.

"Wait! Before you leave, please tell me why? Why did you do this? Why give me your power? Why end your lives?"

"We are not ending our lives, Trinity. We will live on as the power inside of you." Danu spoke first.

"We have seen many millennia. And these years away from our loved ones have been hard on us." Thoth nearly sounded like he was crying when he spoke next.

"With this decision, we will be with you every step of the way. If you ever need to call upon the knowledge that we possess, it will be inside of you, Trinity. Our memories, our wisdom, none of them will be gone from this life. We are simply passing them onto you." Nehalennia was giving me a bittersweet smile. "We have all been looking for a worthy candidate to pass our essence onto. We have all been longing for a new way to interact with this realm. The three of us have found that person in you."

"Does that mean there are others? Other celestial beings that want to return to this world?" Their words confused me for a moment. I wasn't sure what it was that was starting to run through my mind, perhaps it wasn't even my thoughts but theirs.

"Yes, Trinity. There are many more. Maybe you can find the worthy candidates for them. Maybe you can help them to return to this world. Maybe you can help them be reborn like we are." Nehalennia smiled at me and leaned forward.

I felt her lips press against my forehead. She was barely there, nothing more than a shadow image inside the light that was her power. The others leaned forward as well. They each leaned in and kissed me on the cheek in the same manner that Nehalennia had.

I felt them there, the phantom touch of their lips pressing firm but ever so softly against my face. The feeling of that, the sensation of being loved and trusted by them completely, it made me cry. Only three tears. That was all that my body shed. One for each of them.

With the first tear, Danu disappeared. She had been the one that I had most recently met and who was the first to call me family. With the second tear, Thoth disappeared. He had been kind to me from day one and welcomed me as his Queen instantly. And finally, with the third tear, Nehalennia disappeared. She was the first to help me, the first to guide me, and the first to accept me. For years now, she had been close to my heart. She had been the one that I had felt the closest to.

"Don't leave me." I cried as their lights began to fade.

"We will never leave you." The three of them said together as their voices danced on the wind.

I felt my body lowering back to the ground. I hadn't even known that I was floating in the air, high above the ground. One moment I was suspended as if I was a marionette puppet waiting for someone to move my strings, and the next moment I was once again on my knees next to Vincent.

Vincent had not been healed yet. The celestials did not help him.

Just as I was about to panic, I realized something. I am the celestial being now. I was the one who was meant to heal him. It was up to me to do this from now on.

"Live, Vincent. You will not die today." I put my hand on his chest and instantly felt time start to move again.

I was in a different position than I had been when time froze. My abrupt change from one place to another made most of the people who had been watching the scene gasp. Even Reece, who was kneeling on the ground right next to me, fell back as he jumped in surprise.

"TRINITY!?" He gasped. "What the hell just happened!?"

I ignored him, though. I just pressed my hand more firmly against Vincent as I healed his wounds. There was a bright, shining light that started to illuminate the clearing that we were in. This light wasn't like anything that I was used to. For one it was a light purple color, like lilac. But that wasn't the only thing different about it. The light itself seemed to have golden flecks in it, almost like some sort of sparkling dust that was magically floating inside of the light.

"Trinity?" Reece breathed my name in surprise as he saw the light. He knew that it was different as well. "What is going on?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . ꜰire

"I am healing my brother." I turned my head slightly so that I could look at Reece as I spoke, which only made him gasp more. He apparently saw something in my face that shocked him. I could find out what that was later. For now, I was busy saving a life.

As soon as I thought that I heard a loud, sharp intake of breath. It was like Vincent was taking his first breath of his new life. He arched his back a little and lifted up from my legs, almost like there was magic involved, which there was.

The color was back to his face. His wounds were gone. He was alive and you couldn't even tell that anything had happened to him at all.

"Vincent?" I smiled and started to cry. He was really and truly alive.. "I am so happy, Vincent!" I threw my arms around him and hugged him tightly.
