Chapter 540 - Trinity - Enemy Spotted (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

The battle was still going on. This was the third time that I was heading into the thick of it all and still the monsters didn't show any sign of slowing down at all. When was this going to end? When were we going to find the mastermind behind this and end this war?

I knew that my troops were getting tired. They were resting, micro napping and eating restorative food to make things easier on them, but that didn't stop them from getting tired. They were exhausted mentally and physically. They needed this to end, and soon. I wish I could make it all go away. I wish I could just snap my fingers and make everything better. If that were possible though, I would have done it already. Aunt Glory and Athair mòr would have done it too. We would all have been making things easier on us with the use of our magic.

We needed to end this battle, this war. We needed to bring a semblance of peace back to the Fae once and for all. We needed to rid this world, the Fae and the human worlds, of Solanum and the others that were causing all of this fighting.

It might have been easier to do just that if there wasn't this constant stream of monsters. We might have been able to get into the dark Fae realm to search for Solanum and all the other Fae that were behind this. The problem though, was that there seemed to be a never ending stream of the things that were spilling out of the crack in the barrier. If we couldn't get a break from those beasts then we wouldn't be able to make our way into the dark realm at all.

While I fought, I constantly kept my eyes open and scanned the entire field while I searched for Solanum. Every time that I even thought that I got a glimpse of her I followed up on that lead by chasing after that Fae.

Every flash of green hair or that odd light purple complexion of hers made my heart race as I ran toward the person in question. Each time though, it wasn't her. And every time that it wasn't Solanum my frustration surged.

"I'll find her. I'll find her. I'll find her. I'll find her. I'll find her. I'll find her." I just kept chanting those words while I fought and searched.

I saw another flash of green. There was a woman right by the broken boulder that had hair that looked just like Solanum's. This was taking me closer to the enemy territory than any of the other times had before. I would literally be behind enemy lines while searching this one out.

I had to do it, though. I had to go and see if it was her. It was the only way to start putting an end to all of this. I wasn't all that hopeful though. The chances of it actually being her was slim to-.

"Wait a minute!" I gasped in shock as I ran toward the woman that I saw.

This woman was using her magic to send out beast after beast. She had that same green hair and pale purple complexion that Solanum had. And when the women looked up to see me running toward her, I saw the same plum colored eyes that Solanum has.

"It's her."

I didn't wait for my guards. I didn't care about my army. In that moment all I cared about was catching up to Solanum who was retreating back inside the dark Fae realm. I wasn't going to let her get away.

I put on a burst of speed and ran past every monster, Fae, and soldier between me and that opening in the barrier.

"Trinity! Wait!" I heard Vincent yelling after me.

"Hold up, Trinity!" David was trying to follow me as well.

'Stay here and fight.' I told them mentally. If I was thinking properly I would have sent a message to Reece too, but I wasn't, so I didn't.

"STOP HER!" I heard Solanum's shrill voice boom out and echo to those that we were fighting. At that moment all the monsters and Fae around me started to turn their attention toward me instead of the others.

"Trinity!" Vincent called out again as he leapt forward to block an attack that I didn't see coming. I was a little too singularly focused to see everyone else. "Be a little more observant, please." He scolded me.

"I will, Vincent." I nodded at him, but I had started to run again. "Now I am going to go kill my great great great grandmother." I laughed as I ran off once more.

I know that they all wanted to follow me, but they were needed here. I was going to take care of this problem because it was personal for me. This was my family and I would deal with it myself.

I ran past outstretched hands, hurled weapons, and snapping beasts. I managed to get past all of them and to the barrier. Solanum was nowhere to be seen, which I expected. I was going to need to follow her inside the dark realm and search for her there.

I didn't even think twice about it. Once I was next to that barrier I leapt inside and felt myself dropping for what felt like a long time.

It was pure darkness as I fell. There was no light to tell me where I was or what my surroundings looked like. I knew it was travelling through a sort of cave though. I could smell the water on the stone walls as I moved past them.

Something that was odd about my fall though, was that I was moving slow. I wasn't falling so fast that I thought I would hurt when I hit the ground, it was more like a controlled descent that would let me land easily on my feet when I got there. It was also like time was slowing down because I didn't actually feel like I was falling a long distance, more that I was just moving slow.

Soon, I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. There was light starting near my feet and moving up toward my face. The fall was almost over.. At least I think it was.
