Trinity

"I..I..I guess." Vincent stuttered out the words and I knew that he was wavering for a moment.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to, Vincent. No one will force you to do this. It can be a major responsibility." I spoke soothingly, telling him in not so many words to choose carefully.

"I th..th..think, I..I..I more worried about wh..what will happen to th..them if w..we t..take their blessing." Now that he seemed to be getting what he wanted to say out, I noticed that he was becoming less nervous. Even though he stuttered through that, I was pretty sure that he was past all of that now.

"When Veritas and I ascend, we will move into the hall of souls. When the time comes for a new life to be born, and it is our turn, Veritas and I will be reborn into the mortal realm. We will not be lost forever, if that is what you are fearing. This here, is another sign of your worthiness in my opinion." Sanus smiled at him as he answered the question.

"So, you won't, like, die or anything?" Vincent asked him, just to make sure.

"No, I will not die."

I watched as relief visibly spread across Vincent's face. I know that he had been worried about that. He had probably been worried about that having happened to Nehalennia, Thoth, and Danu as well. He was just a caring person. He always has been.

"If it is safe for you, then I will agree to it. I do not mind joining Trinity in the ranks of celestials. This will only help me to serve her better."

Vincent grinned then bowed his head to me like he was intent on telling me that he was forever at my side. He truly was one of the most remarkable men that I had ever met.

"And you, Gabriel? Will you accept Veritas's blessing?" I asked him, turning my attention to him now.

"I believe so. I have heard your explanation to Vincent and so I do not require the same. I would have held my reservations if I were to be snuffing out a life by doing this, but if I am only going to be taking the title and status so that they may reincarnate, then I do not mind ascending. I too, wish to join my Queen among the ranks of the celestials."

Gabriel, loyal as always, immediately agreed to accept the blessing from the Goddess into himself. I was a little nervous, but also excited. These two men, these two friends, no family members of mine, were going to ascend and become Gods just like I had become a Goddess. I wasn't going to be the only one.

Uh oh. I just had a thought. What will Reece say? He will wonder why he wasn't the first one to get a God after me. Oh, well, he will have to deal with it. These two were chosen, it's not like I made this happen. I just helped them.

"Alright gentlemen, since you accept these beings into you, all you must do to take their blessing is to hug them. Hold them against you and absorb their light into you." I was speaking like I was some sort of an expert. Dammit. People are going to think that I was some pompous know it all.

"OK."

"Understood." Thankfully, Vincent and Gabriel didn't think along those lines. They just nodded and the two of them started to move toward the being that they were going to be accepting power from.

I watched as Vincent reached toward Sancus, he was nervous and uncertain just a little, but I had a feeling that was because he was about to hug a strange man that he just met today. That wasn't easy for some people unless they were very social and very open. Vincent was sweet but often a little reserved.

Gabriel on the other hand, was a pure soul that didn't truly harbor negative thoughts about people unless they warranted them. Gabriel was going to Veritas with a smile on his face and I saw that he was not going to have an issue accepting the blessing.

"Sancus, Veritas, only when they are holding onto you can you let go of my hands. If you do so before their arms are holding you in place, you will be instantly taken back to the celestial realm and you will need to find another way back here."

"Yes, Trinity." Sancus sounded scared, just like Vincent had.

"Understood." Veritas sounded pure and trusting, exactly like Gabriel.

The two men that were employed by me, reached forward and wrapped their arms around the God and Goddess. Vincent held Sancus close, and only then did the God let go of my hand. Likewise, Veritas was enveloped in Gabriel's arms and let go of my hand at that moment to hug him back.

There was a bright, shining, white light that started to fill the room. The light was brighter than the ones that I was used to seeing and I needed to shield my eyes. The problem was, with my eyes covered I couldn't see what was happening around me. I got a few glimpses of shadows but that was it.

After about thirty seconds, the light disappeared as suddenly as it came on. I blinked a few times and cleared my vision. When I was able to see again, I saw that Sancus and Veritas were gone, only Gabriel and Vincent stood on either side of me.

"Is that it?" Vincent asked me, confused.

I tried to find something that might be different about Vincent as I listened to him. I was guessing that he would have a mark like I do, but what and where were the questions that I needed to answer.

I was about to give up on the idea and just say that it was hidden, but then I saw the smallest little flash of color on his upper arm. When I focused on it and actually looked at it, I saw he had a laurel wreath wrapped around his left arm, around his bicep.

When I turned to look at Gabriel, I saw that he had the same mark, but it was on his right bicep. That was interesting.

"Well, you are both Gods now, how do you feel?" I asked them with a smirk on my face.

"The same." Vincent looked worried. "Did it work?"

I didn't answer him, I just pointed at the mark. When he saw it he grinned and looked at me with confident eyes.

"I am sure we will find out how to be Gods later. What did you need us to do, Trinity?" Good he was ready to get back to the original reason that I was calling them to talk.

"I need to delegate some work, but I need to find people we can trust to work for me. I guess now that you are gods, it will be a heck of a lot easier to do that." I almost laughed at my own words.

"We can take care of that, Queen Trinity. Just leave it to us." Gabriel smiled at me. "We will find you people worthy of any job."

With that, I handed them each a file that I had prepared. It listed the jobs that I wanted to 'hire' people for and what they would be doing. They were to help me find people capable of filling these positions that I could also trust with intimate knowledge of the kingdom.. These two men were going to help me find the help to help me. Now isn't that convoluted?
