Trinity

Hekate was laughing maniacally. The sound of it was sending shivers running through my body and made me feel like something cold had just been poured down my back. What the hell was going on? Why was she laughing like that? What was up with her?
I didn't know the answer to any of those questions. And because I didn't know the answers, it was making me feel a little vulnerable and weak. That was one hell of a power. To be able to render me weak just by laughing.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" I tried my best not to visibly shiver and shake at that sound. "HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" The laughter wasn't ending anytime soon.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" I asked her, taking a step away from her.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"
"Stop it, Hekate! Stop with that damn laughing."
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" She was still just laughing over and over again.
"You're one annoyingly crazy bitch, you know that? You and that stupid laugh of yours is so damn annoying."
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" She was still just laughing nonstop. "HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"
"GAH! I'm going to knock the laughter out of you."
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"
"Careful, Mommy!" I could barely hear it, but I Zayden was giving me encouragement as I wondered what to do with this annoying fallen goddess in front of me.
"She's a bad lady, Mommy." Zander informed me.
"Don't let her get you, Mommy." Zachary gave me another warning.
"Stay strong, Queen Trinity." Rudy was next.
"You can do this, Trinity." Alexio finished for them all.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! How touching is this? HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Look at how much they all love you already. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Their support of you won't help at all. You will still die. Your minutes are numbered. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"
She was starting to get to me. I just wanted her to stop right now but that wasn't likely to happen. She was taunting me. I don't know why, but she was. She had been on the losing end of this fight, but she was the one that was taunting me. What the hell?! What was going on here?
"What do you think you are going to do, Hekate? You were losing. Don't you remember that? I've already stabbed you with my sword. That means that you are going to freeze from the inside out. You have already lost."
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! No, Trinity, you are the one that has lost. You're so overconfident right now that you cannot even see what is happening right in front of you."
"And what is that, Hekate? What is it that I can't see? What is going on that I am missing?"
"Well, for one thing, Trinity, I am not freezing. That sword of yours did not freeze me. I am not in any danger of perishing. And I have been doing nothing but toying with you so far." Her eyes, pure white as they were, seemed to narrow as she looked at me. I couldn't see anything else in them, no color at all, but I could see how the shape changed, and that told me that she was looking at me smugly. She was obviously trying to rile me up more than I already was. And the part that pissed me off was that it was working.
"How is it that my sword isn't affecting you? How can you defend yourself against it?" In my opinion, that was the most important thing that I needed to know right now. "Why are you not affected by it?"
"I am not at all affected by the ice and the cold. It doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I quite enjoy its icy embrace. This little pin prick from you was nothing more than a tender touch from an old friend."
"You're insane." I shook my head at her. She literally was certifiably insane. What else was there to it? The things that she was saying just made me feel like I was going insane listening to them.
"Thank you. I take that as a compliment. And now that this has been settled, let us get down to business. I want to make sure that you see just what it is that you have gotten yourself into.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" With more laughter that was grated on my soul, Hekate threw her head back and started to glow. The light that was coming from her was glowing from within. It was so bright that it was even shining like beacons from her eyes. The pure white of them was so bright that it looked like she had flashlights inside of her head.
The brighter that the light started to glow around her, the more that it looked like she was growing. I don't know why, but it looked like Hekate was getting bigger and bigger. At the moment, I didn't know if it was a trick of the light or if she was really getting bigger. And considering how big she already was, her getting bigger wouldn't be a good thing at all.
And was she being distorted by the light that was around her, or was that extra head she was growing actually real? How could it be, though? How could she now have two heads? Nope, make that three. And what was up with those massively long necks that each of those three heads had? What the hell was going on right now? What was I seeing?
It was clear now that Hekate was not just seven feet tall now. She was obviously twice that if not a little more. I would guess around fifteen feet tall at minimum. She had three heads on long necks. There were massive wings unfurling around her back. And those were some seriously long talons on the ends of those massive feet.
Somehow, by some impossible means that I could not explain, Hekate had turned into a massive three headed dragon. A giant three headed dragon that was surrounded by ice and water.
"What in the fucking hell?!"
I yelled the words to the ceiling as I looked up at the beast before me. I could see that Hekate's coloring had changed somewhat when she became the three headed dragon, but not by much. She was still black, and there were still highlights of blue within her scales. And those eyes were the same. She still looked at me with pure white eyes that had not a drop of color inside of them. They somehow looked even more strange and weird sitting inside her lizard-like head.
And that massive, and very loud, screech that she just roared to the vast hall around us was not at all what she sounded like before. Now she was more animalistic. There was nothing at all humanish to that voice. It was all beast and monster.. This was not what I was expecting when I fought Hekate.
