Chapter 503 - Trinity – Getting Back To The City (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

We needed to get back to the city now. There was no way that we could take the horses to get back and have it take us days to make it back to the castle. I didn't think that we had nearly that much time to spare.

"Let's mount up." Trevor said as he walked toward the horses.

"No." I stopped him as I thought about something. "That's not quick enough."

"What other option do we have?" Trevor looked confused.

"I want to ask the same question as you, Trevor, but I won't. I have a feeling that Queen Trinity is going to show us something very important and special right about now." Landon looked at me with eager eyes.

"I think you just might be right." Reece looked at me with excited and love filled eyes. "I think my beautiful, strong, powerful, and talented wife is going to be showing us something truly amazing very soon."

"Stop flattering me, Reece. It won't get you anything special right now." I rolled my eyes at his words.

"Wh..wh.. I..I..I wasn't-.. th..that's not.. I d..d..didn't-.. Hahh!" He spluttered through a mess of words before giving up and sighing in frustration. "You're so mean sometimes." He pretended to pout as he sidled up to my side. "You're going to have to make that up to me later." He looked at me with heated eyes. "That will be all that I accept." He winked then and kissed the top of my head.

"Are you finished yet?" I asked him.

"HAHAHA! That's what she said!" Trevor turned my words into a crude joke but I realized that I walked into that one with the words that I said, consequently, I laughed along with him and that only made him laugh harder.

"Honestly, Trevor, I don't know how Queen Gloriana is going to put up with you." I shook my head at him.

"She already loves me, there is no putting up with me." He grinned. "Besides, I'm loveable like a special kind of teddy bear."

"Oh, Goddess!" I clapped a hand to my forehead. "I didn't need to hear that! That gave me visuals. Get out! Get out! Get out!" I had tilted my head all the way to the left and was lightly hitting the right side just above my ear. It was like I was trying to knock the visuals out of my head physically.

"This all makes no sense to me." Alloy looked at us with wary eyes. That made Trevor and I laugh even more.

"I am sorry, Alloy. We were just trying to break the tension. Now is not the time, though. Let us get ready to go."

I walked to the side of the shed and turned to look back at Alloy and Sterling.

"I need to ask you two a question." I was smiling at them now, forming my plan in my head.

"What is it?" They walked over to my side and away from the others. I think that made Alloy a little more comfortable in the long run.

"I want to make a magic door. I want one that will take us back to the city. To the castle."

"WHAT?!" The two of them shouted the words like there was a problem with what I had just said.

"I am going to make a door to take us back to the city. I know that the door you made was permanent. but I want to make a temporary door. Can you guide me through it?"

"No offense, Queen Trinity, but the spell for these doors is not an easy one to cast. I don't think that you can master it that quickly. The two of us had to pour magic into our door for days before it was functional." Sterling sounded like he couldn't believe that I would suggest such a thing.

"Yes, I can understand that. However, like I said, your door is permanent, and I will be making a temporary one. That alone should make it require less magic."

"I truly do not think this is wise." Alloy agreed with his lover. "This is not a simple process to complete."

"Alright, I will just ask the Goddesses and Gods for guidance." I shrugged my shoulders at them and turned to face the side of the shed. That wall in front of me was where I was going to make my magic door.

"Queen Trinity, please don't-."

"Silence." Reece stopped Alloy in the middle of his protest.

After that, all was silent around me. I could hear the birds chirping in the distance. There were crickets, the sound of frogs, the soft whistle of the wind. Everything that reminded me of nature. Then there were the smells. The flowers, the dirt, the blood that was still on Sterling and Alloy. Everything was intensifying, even the feel of the gentle breeze on my face was more noticeable than it was before.

I could feel myself tapping into the feeling of the Goddess Danu, the mother Goddess of the Fae. She was Athair mòr's mother. She was my great, great, great, great grandmother. I was part of her so there should be no magic that was beyond me.

"Lend me assistance, Seanmháthair. [1] Lend me your assistance and help me to save the ones that we both wish to protect. I kept my eyes closed, but I envisioned my words flying up to the sky on the wind to dance among the clouds as if they were a brightly colored moving rainbow. I refused to open my eyes and check to see if that was truly the case or not. but it was what I saw in my head.

I felt the magic in me start to move and take form. I saw the words for the spell forming in my mind's eye and I knew then and there that all I needed to do was say those words and I would have the door that I wanted.

"Mother Danu, Goddess of nature and Fae, lend me your strength and wisdom to guide me to where I need to be. Show me the place that I need to be. Open the path before me and allow, not just myself, but those that travel with me to step from here to there. With the swiftness of the wind, we will travel great distances. Help me, Mother Danu, help me to step from here to there."

The power surged from within me, and I felt a heat spread from my palm to the metal of the door. There was a pulsing of light from the spot just in front of me, but I did not open my eyes. I kept my eyes closed until the pulsing was gone and the heat had dissipated. Only then did I look at the wall I had intended to make a door on.

"Holy shit!" Trevor yelled in surprise just as I opened my eyes.

"She did it?" Alloy sounded just as surprised as Trevor had.

"I am sorry, Queen Trinity, I stand fully corrected. I should have helped you from the beginning." He bowed his head in shame and reverence. He was in awe of what I had done.

"I never had a doubt, I knew my wife could do it." Reece smirked at me.

"There is only one problem." Alloy stopped us all. "Doors like this will not give you access into the castle. They won't work because of the wardings."

[1] Seanmháthair- An Irish word meaning grandmother.

It is pronounced as? shan – a – WAW – her.
