Hekate was down to just one head now. This was going to be the final part of the battle. This was going to be the part that brought it all to an end. Finally, we could end this whole ordeal. Finally, I will be able to get home. And, curiously enough, it was all thanks to my father that I had been able to do all of this. Who would have thought that I would be working with him like this? Who would have ever thought that Gannon Cornelius Edmond would have been able to be trusted and relied upon like that? I never would have thought that at all. Not for one second.

While I thought about these things that I basically used to think were impossible, I saw that Hekate was starting to get angrier than before. Her wings were beating faster and faster as she hovered in the air above the hall.

The wind from her wings was nearly causing a whirlwind, that just showed how fast it was that she was beating those giant wings of hers. The whirlwind that she was creating was getting stronger by the second. It was so strong that it was starting to push me around the hall as it twisted below the dragon bitch.

"We need to stop her, Edmond. We need to make sure that she doesn't get out of here. And, while doing that, I need to make sure that I protect the boys and my friends up there. They cannot be harmed at all."

"I know, Trinity. That is why I am here. I came to help you. I wanted to at least make up for a little bit of the damage I had caused when I was still living. You may rely on me and tell me whatever it is that you want me to do. I will make sure that I do it all perfectly."

"Thank you, Edmond. I appreciate your help. And I know that your life might have been different if it wasn't for your mother and father. You never had the chance to be loved." I could feel my heart breaking again. I had touched on this with him earlier, and I had of course learned the story from the other me, but that didn't mean that it was easy for me to accept and process. 

As a mother, and as someone who didn't have either of their biological parents in their life growing up, I knew what it was like to love a child and to be loved by others. All Edmond wanted was love. And that was what he thought he got from Hekate. That was why he dedicated his life to her.

I still couldn't stop thinking about the fact that Edmond would have turned out differently if he just had a chance at life. It wasn't that he was bad, he just never knew love. That makes a big difference in someone's life. A child can't grow and flourish without love. And without that love, that child might make wrong choices out of desperation. If I could, I would go back to when Edmond was a child and show him the love that he needed and lacked. If I could, I would help to make him into a better person.

I needed to not think about that right now though. I needed to focus on the situation at hand. The boys were more important at the moment. And getting home to everyone else was more important. I could think about my father and all that later, when I had more time and leeway.

Focusing myself, I started to move toward the dragon once more. There was only one head left. Only one head to destroy before this was all over. I needed to get closer to it. I needed to be able to destroy that head as soon as possible.

Yet, the moment that I tried to move closer to the dragon, the more that the wind pushed me away. The more I fought to get closer to the dragon, the stronger the wind became. Every time that I took a step toward the dragon I was buffeted back.

I was literally not able to move any closer to her. That dragon bitch, that fucking fallen goddess Hekate, was starting to piss me off more than I ever thought would ever be possible. I just wanted to end her. I wanted to destroy her soul so that no one needed to worry about the hell on Earth that she wanted to create. If Hekate was given free roam, most of the people on the planet would be killed and there would only be evil and chaos that remained.

Now that I thought about it, her vision of the world probably wasn't that far off from Solanum's. I wonder if the two of them were somehow intertwined or something. They had such similar views on how they wanted to rule the world.

There was one major difference though, Hekate would probably wipe out all of the Fae. She wouldn't want to leave them in her new world order. They weren't her people, and they weren't worth lording over. Or that was what I figured she would say. 

"Dammit!" I snapped as I tried to get past Hekate's wind defense once again. I knew that I could do this. I knew that I could get past her whirlwind and whatever else that she threw my way. The only issue here was the fact that I was getting frantic and I wasn't slowing down to figure it all out.

I was in too much of a hurry to end this. I had another person here to help me. I had someone else that could use magic and therefore someone that could help kill a dragon. I didn't have to worry as much and I could throw caution to the wind. Or at least I thought that I could. It wasn't really working right now though. I wasn't getting past Hekate and her wind with me throwing away all caution right now.

Still, I wasn't ready to give up. I tried again and again to get past the whirlwind and it was all to no avail. I was annoyed now, and it was starting to show. I needed to do all that I could to prove that I was worthy. Worthy of my titles. Worthy of my position in my life. Worthy of my family. Worthy of it all.

I would prove it to them. I would prove it to myself. I would prove it to my father. I would even prove it to Hekate. So many people over the years, so many enemies, had thought that I wasn't anything to worry about. So many of them thought that I was nothing but a stepping stone. Well I was going to show them. I was going to prove to them that I was strong. Once and for all I was going to prove it to the world. Well, at least to the underworld. That was where I was now and that was where the legend of the Trinity Goddess was going to be reaffirmed. 

OK, I might be losing my mind just a little bit. But could anyone blame me? After however long that I had been here in the underworld, how was I not certifiable yet?
