Finally, the platform was now resting on the floor, which meant that they could jump off of it and come over to me. In true style to what little kids would do, the three little boys leapt down and ran to me ahead of Rudy and Alexio.
I opened my arms wide for them to come to me, but they froze in their tracks. They never made it all the way to me because of the bright glowing light that had just started to emanate from the area near the massive dragon’s corpse.
There was a massive howling wind that was suddenly blowing through the hall. The light was getting brighter and brighter until it was almost too bright to look at. An intense heat was starting to burn me, almost like I was being boiled. And to top it all off, the ground was shaking. Not violently, but enough to unsteady us as we tried to look around us and see what was happening.
“Mommy, what is going on?” Zachary asked me first.
“This is scary, Mommy. What is it? Make it stop.” Zander was next.
“Mommy is going to make it stop. She is the strongest. That is why she beat the dragon. Right, Mommy? You’re going to save us again?”
Dammit! What is going on now? What was it that I needed to do? What was endangering me and my boys?
While I thought about those questions, I noticed that the wind, heat and shaking of the ground was only affecting the area that me and the boys were in. It wasn’t affecting Rudy and Alexio. What was this? Why weren’t they being affected?
“Just hang in there, boys. Mommy will figure out what is going on.” I did my best to try and make them feel better. If I could keep them calm then they would be less scared and less likely to cry out from their fear.
Now, all I needed to do was figure out what was happening.
As I looked around, I noticed that the light wasn’t just near the dragon’s body, it was coming from the dragon itself. OK, that was something. So, whatever this was, it was still Hekate’s fault. But what was she doing? I mean, she was dead, wasn’t she?”
“Riviana, be careful. I think that there is still some magic left inside of the fallen goddess.” Alexio gave me a warning that I truly didn’t need. Still, if he had noticed it too, then it meant that it was definitely true, and getting to be a cause for concern.
“Sh..should Queen Riviana dispel the magic? Will that make this stop? Would that save her and the boys?”
“I do not know. Magic is not my forte [1]. I think this is something that Riviana is going to need to figure out.” Of course, Alexio, leave it all to me. You just stay there on the safe little platform and wait for me to fix everything.
UGH! I was starting to lose my patience. I needed to figure this out right now. I had to do it before I let out any more of my dark side. That wouldn’t be a good thing right now.
Just as I made the decision to do something, just as I rose up to stand on my feet rather than being crouched and waiting for the boys, the light that was coming from the dragon seemed to leave the dead body and shoot into the air. OK, well, I guess I didn’t need to do anything anymore. The light was lessening, the heat was fading, the ground wasn’t shaking anymore. The only thing that remained was the wind that was filling the hall. And I guess that the wind wasn’t all that bad.
I didn’t think that we had anything else to worry about. I mean, the light was leaving. Things were all settling down. Or so I thought.
I hadn’t noticed that the light was just spinning above the boys’ heads. Not at first anyway. But Rudy decided to let me know about that.
“Queen Riviana, look! Up there!” He was pointing right above Zachary, Zander and Zayden.
The light was first making just a circular motion. It was spinning over and over again. Then it was making a figure eight, almost splitting in two. After a second or two though, the light was almost forming a trinity symbol. There were three small ovasl all connected in the middle as the light spun faster and faster.
There were no more parts of the light that formed. Instead, it looked to me like the three parts of the light were separating and becoming three different lights. But why? What was the point of all of this?
Well, that was answered just a second later. Not even a full second really. The lights fully split and the three of them each shot toward one of my boys. The lights hit them all so hard that they fell to the ground, all at the same time.
“What the hell?”
Why I watched on, just staring at my boys for a moment or two, I felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. It was beating so much faster than usual. I know that it was fear that was causing that reaction. I was afraid for my babies. I was afraid that their souls were going to be destroyed, like Edmond’s had been. I was afraid that I had failed them after all. I was afraid that when I went back home, I would find out that I wasn’t pregnant. Either I never was pregnant or I had somehow had a miscarriage. That or the babies were just going to be dead inside of my belly. I couldn’t let that happen. Please, Goddess, don’t let them be dead.

I could tell what was supposed to be happening. I knew what was supposed to be going on. I wasn’t confused about any of that stuff. No, it wasn’t until a little later that I was wondering what the fuck was going on.
My Little Bunny had just cleaned herself up while bringing the platform that our three boys were on down to the floor. She was cleaned of blood and gore, and apparently dry as well. The boys were excited to run to her and hug her. Something that I wanted to do. I wanted to hug my Little Bunny, as well as my triplet boys. I was immensely jealous of all four of them at that moment.
However, the boys didn’t get to hug my Little Bunny. Nope. They stopped halfway there when things seemed to be going to shit once again. Dammit! Couldn’t my Little Bunny catch a damn break? This was ridiculous. Seriously.
I watched on in horror as the light that was scaring my boys and my Little Bunny got brighter and then rose into the air. It was spinning faster and faster until it started to look like something that I knew very well. It was a trinity symbol, but like my Little Bunny had.
When the lights separated into three parts, it flew straight into my boys. All three parts hit them with what looked like an immense speed and all I could do was shout at the screen in front of me.
“WHAT THE HELL!” I had leapt to my feet when I saw that the light was attacking my kids now. “WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!? WHAT IS THAT LIGHT DOING TO MY BOYS?”
“I do not know.” Valerian, also standing, had his hand over his mouth as he watched on.
“I need to get in there and kick someone’s fucking ass. Those are my nephews for fuck’s sake. Someone is going to pay.” Trevor was in a rage at what he was seeing.
“They are ‘actually’ my nephews, so you better get the fuck in line, because I am going to fucking kill someone too.” Noah was seething with rage right then. “What are we going to do, Joaquin?”
