Chapter 499 - Trinity – The Other Side Part 2 (VOLUME 3)

Trinity

I just watched the heartbreaking scene before me with tears forming in my eyes while the two men nearly wept for each other. I knew that I needed to do something, I couldn't just sit and watch as Sterling died if I was able to stop it. Slowly, with one cautious step after another, I walked toward the two men, where they were huddling together under the tree.
Neither of them seemed to notice me until long after I was right next to them. I placed a hand on Alloy's shoulder and spoke to him in a soft, soothing voice.
"I promise I will help him. You have my word." I could see that he still didn't trust me.
"Please, help me.." Sterling begged despite the hesitation from his partner.
"NO! We don't even know who you are." Alloy was still looking at me angrily.
"Would it help you trust me more if you know who I was first?" I looked at him with curious eyes. However, while he looked at me with those wary eyes of his I had reached out and taken Sterling's hand. The hand that I held gripped me firmly and I could feel the pulse of his heart, weak and erratic. He truly was dying.
With my eyes still on Alloy, watching him to make sure that he wasn't doing anything that he shouldn't, I poured all of my magic into Sterling. I thought of what it was that I wanted that magic of mine to do. I wanted to use my abilities to heal the wounds that were threatening this man's life.
As I looked at him in my peripheral vision, I had to wonder how it was that he had managed to get these wounds? He had a massive slash across his chest. It was long and deep, but there was something off about it as well. I don't want to say that it looked like it was infected, but that was what it seemed like. Only, instead of a red inflammation that was spreading to the edges of the wound and into the veins, it was black.
The sick and infectious looking black flesh started just before the edges of the wound and was moving out into the veins that spread through his body. That wasn't the only wound that he had either. I could see one on his left arm, there were two on his right arm, and several more on his legs. There were so many injuries that I couldn't maintain eye contact with Alloy and count them in my peripheral vision at the same time.
I did everything that I could, pouring as much magic into him that I could. I started to beg and plead with Danu, Thoth, and Nehalennia for help. Finally, after what felt like a long time, my magic started to intensify. A bright shining light spread from me and into Sterling. Though it didn't stop there, the light moved to cover Alloy as well.
"What is this? What's going on?" Alloy started to panic when my magic overtook him.
"I feel so warm. It's so pleasant." He was smiling, though I could barely make it out in the brightness of the light around us.
"What are you doing to us?" Alloy screamed.
"Calm down, Alloy. Please, don't cause a scene. Just embrace it."
I saw that wounds on Sterling were closing. The smaller ones were closing quickly, but that large one across his chest was taking a long time. I had a feeling he needed a little bit more magic to help him. Magic that I didn't have.
"Alloy, take his hand. He needs your magic to help him as well. He needs magic similar to his own as well as the love you share."
"What?" Alloy looked at me like I was a weird creature.
"Don't worry about how I know, help him." I gave him a stern look.
"Alloy?" Sterling held his hand out to the other man as he called his name. Finally, Alloy took his hand and I saw a silver light start to form at the point where they held hands.
"I am not going anywhere." Alloy looked at his lover with tender eyes and a soft smile.
Soon, that silver light started to spread around the three of us, Alloy's magic blending with my own and finishing the healing process. I thought of one last thing before the healing was over, something that would help me to decide if they were telling me the truth or not. Though I was pretty sure that they were.
"Please, Nehalennia, Thoth, and Danu, if these men are innocent, mark them. Show the world that they did not commit the crimes that they are being blamed for. Help me to protect them if they are not the culprits."
As soon as I said those words the light seemed to explode. I watched as the shining gold and silver light became shimmering dust that was falling to the ground around us. I thought that it looked pretty, but Alloy was looking around us with shock and fear. But Sterling, however, was smiling happily as he sat up. He was fully healed and no longer on the brink of death.
"Sterling." Alloy called his name when he saw him.
"Alloy." I watched as the two men embraced each other, happy that the threat of death was gone for the moment.
"I am glad that you're safe." I lowered my head slightly in relief as I spoke.
"Who are you?" Alloy asked me, a little less wary of me than he was before.
"Yes, I wish to know the name of my savior." Sterling gazed at me with reverence.
"My name is Trinity."
That got a bigger response from the two of them than I had expected. They must have known who I was. If they didn't, then why would the both of them look at me with shock filled eyes. I had a feeling that the rest of this conversation was going to be interesting.
