Trinity

~~

The blue fog quickly faded and we were all left stunned by what the apparition had told us. The warlocks were staring at me stunned into immobility.

”Trinity?” Reece said my name, breaking the tension.

”Luna?” Vincent was being formal because of the situation.

”Trin?” Noah dropped all formalities. Three different men, three different ways of addressing me, all people I couldnʼt imagine my life without. But I wasnʼt sure how I was supposed to imagine my life anymore. What is my life now? Is it even my life to live?

I just continued to stare at them, stricken with shock, completely dumbfounded, at a loss, whichever way to word it, it applied to me in that moment. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, a numbing cold spreading again. Then, the three warlocks moved.

First, Henrich broke out in a smile, it spread slowly across his face, brightening and lightening his features. Eldrige moved next, he bowed with his head tilted forward and put his right hand over his heart. And last, Crawford knelt to the ground, his eyes never leaving mine as his gaze was locked onto me.

”My Queen.” The three of them said at the same time, as if it had been planned.

The sight of yet more people acting like I was their reverent leader was a little more than I could handle at this moment. I just wanted to get a move on and finally find the children.

”Please, stand up.” I told them. ”We have work to do.” I didnʼt want to explain to them that I just didnʼt want to be treated this way. But it was bound to happen wherever I went outside of the pack, I might as well stop complaining about it.

All three men nodded and stood side by side.

”We are at your command, Queen Trinity.” Crawford seemed much less oppositional than he had ever seemed to be before. Was it my new status or was he just used to me? Probably the first one.

The magic circle was still active, the lines still glowing red as it hadnʼt even been ten minutes since they had activated it. They said it was best that Henrich was here, having four of us here was beneficial for the spell in the long run.

Each of us stood on one of the runic symbols at each corner of the sheet. I didnʼt know the spell, but Crawford said he would be reciting the words, the rest of us were responsible for focusing on the names of the children and our objective.

”Aided by Thothʼs guiding light, help us find those we seek. Show us where those that hide from us are waiting unseen. Reveal their location and help us to bring them home. Thoth, great God of Wisdom, please guide us.”

I listened to Crawfords words as I thought to myself. ʼHelp us to find the children. Sammy Taylor, ten years old. Marcus Black, nine years old, Spencer Hall, eleven years old. June Addams, eight years old. Tiffany Justice, eleven years old. Brandon LeMac, twelve years old. Jacob Little, nine years old. Liz Townes, twelve year old. Help me to bring them home Thoth, please. Show me where they are.ʼ I just kept repeating their names and my simple request with my eyes closed as Crawford chanted his words.

I was hoping to get a mental picture of the location the kids were. Something pointing me in the right location. Or maybe a whispered name to the city they were in. But I didnʼt expect what happened next.

My body felt heavy, like I couldnʼt stand up any longer, but I fought against the feeling, forcing myself to stand. I faltered a little, leaning forward in a slight slump like I was about to fall asleep on my feet, but I straightened my back and stood up.

When I stood up straight was when I noticed the light breeze on my cheek. I snapped my eyes open and saw that I was standing in the middle of nowhere. Well, it wasnʼt exactly nowhere, there was a small town, more of a village really, off in the distance. I was surrounded by barron looking farmland. It was either beyond its prime or had yet to be readied for the next growing period. Dilapidated old farm buildings were scattered and falling down around the area.

Nothing was very close to anything else. Even back when this place was new it never had to worry about an overpopulation problem. But, it looked like this place had never seen a boom in its economic growth cycle, it was nearly a ghost town.
