“I..I don’t know. I couldn’t tell you. I just know that this soul, these souls, both of them, are in agony. If we could hear them right now, this room would be filled with their constant wails of pain and woe.”
“My Goddess, that is awful.” Cadwal sounded like he was sickened. I didn’t blame him. There was a lot to take in here. I knew that we needed to figure out what to do about all of this, and fast.
“Who can fix this? Who can help us release their souls? Who can make this right?” Gwri’s voice shook as he asked me that question.
“Can anyone help?” Cadwal added with a defeated tone. I understood what he was feeling. Two members of his pack, two of his people, were dead but still suffering. That was hard for the person in charge. And that included me, the person that was supposed to be there for them all.
“I don’t think that there is a person in the world that can release a trapped soul. These people, they’re doomed.” Gwri spoke before I had the chance to.
“I know who can help us. I know someone that can fix this.”
The moment that I spoke, both Joaquin and Dietrich looked at me as if I were crazy. They obviously didn’t think that I would really bring her into this situation.
“Riviana, you can’t.” Joaquin pleaded with me.
“Think about her, Riviana. Do you really want to expose her to this?” Dietrich also seemed to think that I was in the wrong here.
“The two of you need to think about this. She is getting older now, she’s not a little girl anymore. And she is the only person in the world that is capable of helping these poor souls.”
“Can’t we call in the twins? Charlie and Chloe can help them. They have to be able to do that.” Joaquin was still not wanting to accept what needed to be done. To be fair, I knew why he was feeling like that. It wasn’t easy for me either. I didn’t want to expose her to this stuff or to let her know what was happening in the world right now. But sooner or later, she would know. And it was going to be her responsibility after all.
“The bear twins don’t have the power necessary to pull this off. It has to be her, Joaquin.”
“I’m confused here.” Gwri was looking between Joaquin and I like he was watching a tennis match, his head going side to side with each back and forth. “Who are you talking about? Who is capable of doing this?”
“Our daughter.” Joaquin sighed as he answered that question.
“Y..your daughter?” Cadwal couldn’t believe what he just heard. “How is your daughter going to help us?”
“How is she going to help?” I smirked at the two men that were watching us. “My daughter is the future Goddess of the Underworld. She has been trained for over ten years by the current gods. Lucifer, Hades, Hel, and many more. She is strong, powerful, and very smart. And she is the only living being in this realm that can release these souls.”
The two men couldn’t say anything at all. They were too busy just staring at me with their mouths gaping open in shock. I let them be. I had other things to be doing at the moment.
I opened a connection to Talia. It was close to midnight back home, and she should be sleeping at the moment, but I knew her better than most and it was likely that she was still awake.
鈥楾alia, I need to talk to you.’ I kept it short and simple.
鈥榃hat is it, Mom? Is something wrong? Did something happen to you or Dad? How are my uncles?’ She sounded like she was about to panic. I knew that she would worry about us like that. She was so caring.
鈥楨veryone is fine. I need your help though.’ I almost felt her sigh in relief as I spoke to her.
鈥楳y help? With what?’ Her curiosity was peaked now.
鈥榃ith my case. There is something that I am sure only you can help me with. Please, Talia.’ I was begging her. I knew I shouldn’t, but I was doing it anyway.
鈥極f course, Mom. I will definitely help. What do I need to do?’ She was so sweet and kind.
鈥楢re you in your room?’ I needed to open a door for her.
鈥榊es, I was just about to change for bed.’ She sounded confused.
鈥業 will open a door for you. Come through it so you can be here with me. I will send you back when you are done.’ I didn’t want to say too much at the moment. I just wanted to get her here.
鈥極K, Mom, I’ll come right away.’
While I kept the mental link to Talia open, I started to form the door for her to come through. I needed to concentrate, but that didn’t stop me from hearing what the others were saying.
“What is she doing?” Cadwal asked out of curiosity.
“She is talking to our daughter.” Joaquin answered right away.
“And now it appears she is making a door.” Dietrich added.
“A door? So, you mean that was real?” Gwri asked in shock.
“Yeah, I saw it personally. It was how they came to my home.” Cadwal almost laughed as he answered Gwri.
“Well, I’ll be damned.”
I blocked them out after that. I needed to focus on the door. If I messed up, then Talia would end up somewhere other than here. And I couldn’t let that happen to her.
Finally, after a few moments, the door was ready. I could feel that it was there in front of Talia. The frequency of her magic was coming through to my side of the door. And a moment after I thought that, the door opened and she walked through to my side.
“Talia.” I smiled and pulled her into my arms.
