Chapter 719 - 136 Trinity Meet Hekate (VOLUME 4)

I tried not to dwell on the fact that this supposed to be a prison cell was far too luxurious for someone that was here to be punished. I had to also remind myself that Hekate was put here by a man that loved her dearly. And she was a goddess as well.
Being a goddess meant that Hekate was subject to certain benefits that the others would not be. Or at least that is what I told myself. Hekate was a goddess and would just summon these things to her side even if Thoth hadn't provided them for her.
The thought and words weren't doing much for me though. All I wanted to do was hurt that annoying Hekate. She had probably not suffered at all. Aside from this being her home for the last few millennia, this was paradise for Hekate. She could do what she wanted whenever she wanted and all the people around her had to see that every day for eternity.
Now that I was close enough though, Hekate had finally decided to show herself. I was just starting to slow the platform down, getting ready to bring us all to a stop, when she stepped forward and grinned at me.
Hekate didn't look anything like what I expected her to. I was picturing what all the ancient Roman and Greek gods looked like in the myths. I was imagining something along the lines of the two that came to me when they wanted to make Vincent and Gabriel their new hosts so that they could be reborn. They were very stereotypical looking.
Hekate, on the other hand, was not at all stereotypical. She was as dark as night. Her complexion literally looked like the night personified. There was even a slight bluish hint so that it looked like there was a little bit of the actual night inside of her skin.
To contrast her complexion, Hekate's hair was pure white. It looked like the brightest of full moons woven into hair and made to flow down her back until it hit her knees. And the hair was as straight as could be.
The eyes that were looking out at me from inside of that cell were pure white as well. There seemed to be nothing relieving all of that white that I saw in her eyes. There was no iris. There was no pupil. It was all just white on white on white. And of course, they were lined with white eyelashes and white eyebrows.
I couldn't take my eyes off of the goddess as we got closer to the cell at the end of the hall.
"Mommy, I am scared." I heard Zachary whisper behind me.
"I don't want to go over there, Mommy." Zander was following his brother's lead.
"Mommy, stay back here. Don't go see the lady." Zayden rounded them out.
"I have to see her, boys. She is why Mommy came all the way here. I have to stop her.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Hekate laughed again, long and loud. She apparently thought that my words were funny.
"Is something wrong, Hekate? Did you catch sight of your reflection or something? I don't see what else you would find so funny right now."
"You need to stop thinking you can disrespect me, girl." The fallen goddess glared at me as she snapped the words at me. "And the fact that you think you can talk to me like that, and that you think that you can defeat me, that is truly disrespectful and hilarious. I will end you and take your magic. You are here and that is proof that I will destroy you. I brought you here. That was me. That was my power. I brought you here and I will get exactly what I want from you. You need to prepare for that now, Trinity. All of you are going to die and I will finally be leaving this prison of mine."
"No, Hekate, you won't be. I won't be letting you out of your cell. I will not be giving you any of my magic. And I will see to it that you will never be able to do this to anyone else ever again."
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" She truly did like laughing like that, didn't she? That annoying overly loud laugh of hers, ugh! It was grating on my ears and making me wish that she would just shut up already.
Finally, the platform that we had been riding on came to a stop in front of the ornate door. The door was a lot taller than I had been expecting it to be, and Hekate was a lot taller than I expected her to be. She was standing on the other side of the door and I swear that she was at least seven feet tall. She was about as tall as Alexio, at the very least.
I didn't want to stress the boys out at all. I needed to get them away from this door and I knew just what to do about that. I slid from the platform and stood just in front of the door on my own. After that, I moved the platform so that it hovered above me in the cavernous hall. I was keeping the others out of harm's way and making it so that the two men would protect my children while I fought the evil goddess.
"Hello, Trinity. I guess it is polite for me to give you a proper greeting before you die." Hekate chuckled at me.
"Hello, Hekate. I would give you the title that you deserve, but I don't know how many greats to be in front of the word granny. So, maybe I should just call you what I called Solanum. Though that seems a little rude. Hmm. Gram Gram? I can call you Gram Gram." I saw the way that the fallen goddess's eyes sharpened and hardened at my disrespectful tone and words.
"You are quite inconsiderate, aren't you?" She ground the words out through her clenched teeth.
"I work very hard to act this way for the ones that deserve it. I mean, it's not like this comes easy to me. I need to put a lot of thought and effort into what would best ruin your day and how I should go about it. It's all quite exhausting, really."
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" She laughed again. I guess I once again said something that was hilarious. "Let me show you why I will be taking your power, Trinity."
I watched then as Hekate pushed the door to her cell open and stepped out into the hall to meet me. She was not being restrained. There was nothing and no one to hold her back in the cell. She was literally leaving to do whatever it was that she wanted to. And this, here, was probably the exact reason why I was here. She was allowed to do too much, and I needed to stop it. Damn you, Thoth. You caused all of this, and I can't even punish you for it. I mean, who sends someone to hell and lets them just walk around free? That was just careless and insane.
GAH!
