Chapter 564 - Trinity – Meeting With The Council (VOLUME 3)
~~
Trinity
~~
We were all gathered. All of the council, me, Reece, Aunt Glory, all of us. This was going to be a big meeting and there was going to be some revelations given to the others soon. I didn't know why, but every single time that I sat before the council like this, I was nervous.
I really shouldn't be nervous at all. I mean, they worked for me. They were a council that I founded with the help of those around me. I was the one that gave them the power that they had. Still, I always felt like a little kid in school that was about to give a report to all of their teachers at once.
I truly felt like there was going to be several of them criticizing me because you could never truly please them all at once. It had never happened, of course. They had all been truly agreeable with me in the past. There had never been any major arguments or fights that broke out among my council. Truly, it has always been going way better than I had ever hoped that it would.
As good as it all was though, I was still nervous. Every damn time. Maybe that nervousness was something that helped it to go smoothly. I don't know, but I know that it was a tradition for me at least.
I looked over at Reece who was sitting next to me before I opened the meeting. I, being the leader of the council, was always expected to start the conversation and get it all underway.
"Welcome, all of you. Thank you for coming after you all fought so hard for us yesterday. I am glad that none of you were hurt and that we were able to prevail in this incident."
They were all looking at me. Come on people, you're going to make me have weird fears about me being in my underwear in school or something. UGH! Stop staring at me so hard.
"Queen Trinity, we heard that you were able to end the war by slaying Solanum, is that correct?" Anastasia was the first to speak up among the group. Most likely because she was a Fae and wanted to make sure that the threat to her people was gone.
"Yes, Solanum is dead." I nodded at her as I spoke. "While we are on the subject of yesterday, what happened to all the dark Fae that were not killed in the battle?"
"They have been placed in the dungeons for the time being. They are under constant surveillance to protect the people of Fae until we decide what to do with them." Athair mòr was the one to answer this question. I guess he and Aunt Glory had done some more work after I left the meeting yesterday.
"We need to discuss what to do with them and where to go from here." I held my hand out toward Gabriel who was here with us now. He knew what it was that I wanted and handed me the leather bound notebook that I used to take notes during these meetings. All of the council members had one similar to it and we would all use them during these times.
"Trinity, I think there are also some very important facts that you need to share with everyone else here." Athair mòr gave me an encouraging nod.
"Yes, you are right."
Everyone looked at me with curious eyes. Not all of them knew about what happened yesterday, so this was going to be a very informative part of the meeting for them. I just hoped that none of them got angry or upset about what they were going to learn throughout this talk.
After that, it was time for me to tell them all the tale of the previous day. I started where I did with the others, how I had been searching all over for any sight of Solanum. This time, I decided to be a little more thorough. Most of the people here didn't know anything about the dark Fae realm so I explained to them all what it was like.
With great detail, I told them all about the way that I was lowered by magic to the bottom of the tunnel. I explained to them the way that the foggy barrier clung to my body. Reece took the opportunity to tell me that he tried to follow me into the dark Fae realm, but that fog threw him back and he was forcibly ejected from the tunnel. That was news to me.
I did my best to try and tell them how nightmarish it looked inside that place. How it was nothing but death and decay. That it all looked like it was grown straight into death with pre rotten fruits and withered flowers. It was not a pleasant place at all.
After telling them all about the way the world there looked, I told them about my interactions with Solanum. I told them about the things that were said, and the precise actions taken during the fight. They were all quite interested in the water walking that I had done, as well as the fact that the water spoke to me.
They were also interested in the sword that I had conjured, so I was happy that I had brought it with me. I even reapplied the ice shards to it so that it was back to its full form that it was in yesterday.
Once I concluded the story about Solanum, I told them all about Vincent's injuries and my calling upon Nehalennia, Thoth, and Danu. I told them of the offer that was made to me and my acceptance. Everyone who had not already been informed about this gasped in surprise. They had never expected that I would once again ascend, or that I would accept the power of three celestial beings into my body.
The shifters among them were also very surprised to learn that they were all now immortal. That caused a big stir and a lot of voices talking at once. No one quite knew what to expect from our immortality, so I didn't blame them. This was going to be a new learning experience for us all.
Finally, when I had said everything that I needed to, it was time for me to look up at them all once again. More than two dozen pairs of eyes were on me, all of them curious and determined.
'I wonder what they're all thinking.' I thought to myself. It was at that moment that all of the council members, every last one of them, rose to their feet in one smooth, extremely well coordinated move before bowing to me. The only people in the room that weren't bowing to me were Reece, Aunt Glory, and Athair mòr. I noticed that even Gabriel, who had been listening to this information for the first time, had joined those that were bowing to me.
"All hail the Goddess Queen." Rahim was the first to speak, however once those words were out of his mouth everyone else echoed them, all the voices speaking in unison.
"ALL HAIL THE GODDESS QUEEN."
