Chapter 423 - Trinity - Light Show Day Four Of The Light Magic Celebration (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

The planning sessions continued every day during the light festivals. I took part in the fun as much as I could, but I was also trying to fit in official duties as well. I was just glad that all of my family was here so that I didn't miss them too much while I was gone.

Tonight was the last night of the Light Magic Celebration, which meant that tomorrow was what was known as Gloriana Day for which there would be a banquet and then the day after that there would be a formal ball. There were gifts that were to be given to Gloriana on her day as well as a dráma that was to be performed by various light magic Fae about the life of Queen Gloriana.

I was truly looking forward to it, but before that, I was looking forward to the light show that was Aunt Glory's contribution to the festivities. Aunt Glory was capable of using all types of magic, but she excelled in light magic, she was much like me in that respect. The both of us had an affinity for all elements of magic like that.

"Hey, you're actually here." Reece joked with me as I went to leave with them to see the light show that I was looking forward to.

"What do you mean?" I didn't get what he was saying.

"Oh, you know, Queen Trinity has just been busily planning her new realm; it's like you haven't been here with us at all." Carter answered me for him.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to leave you all alone for so long. I've missed everything too. I'm so sorry."

"He's just yanking your chain, Trinity. No one is upset that you have been busy. You have responsibilities to see to. We have all been able to literally stop work for this time, but you are not someone who can do that easily. Actually, being here is more work for you than being home." Noah was the voice of reason that I needed right now.

"I'm sorry, Little Bunny. I didn't mean for my joke to cause an issue. I have missed you, that is all."

"Mama."

"Mama."

Right as Reece said that he missed me my babies called out to me showing me that they have missed me as well.

"Reagan, Rika, come here my babies. Mommy loves you." I scooped them into my arms and held them close to me. "I am sorry that I have been so busy. I am going to spend the next few days with you guys. I promise."

After my tearful apology we all left to go outside to the amphitheater for the light show. It was dark early, thankfully. That was a benefit for the Yule celebration being right around and during the winter solstice.

Being the new 'unofficial' guests of honor for the Yule celebration we had been given a special viewing deck that was outfitted with comfortable seating for all of us. Reece and I were sitting on a very comfortable loveseat with Reagan and Rika on our laps when the show started.

The sky started to light up with explosions almost like fireworks but it wasn't sparks that appeared. The lights we saw were rainbows, the aurora borealis, and differently shaped animals and plants that flew through the sky.

Mama, Mama, Mama." Rika was pulling on my arm pointing at the lights.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.' Reagan was doing the same to Reece."

"Dada, Dada."

"Daddy, Mommy, look." CJ and then Elias followed suit and yelled at the lights. They were followed by the others as well.

"Dada, Papa, Dada, Papa."

"Papa, Dada."

"Daddy, Papa."

"Papa, Papa, Daddy, Daddy." All four of Shawn and Dietrich's babies liked the lights as well, and they were calling out for their dads.

Their excitement soon turned to laughter as the images danced around and several of them came really close to the deck we were sitting on.

"Haha, Mama see." Rika pointed at a butterfly light that fluttered past her. "Mama buttfwy."

"That's right Rika, it's a pretty butterfly. Watch the butterfly go." Her giggles were so sweet and worth every second of this light show. All four of the little ones were having a really good time. I know that it was melting all of our hearts.

After a little while there were words that began to form in the lights. It was light Aunt Glory was sending a message to someone.

'WELCOME'

The words were coming one at a time, but they were moving quick enough that you didn't feel like it was taking too long to read the whole message.

'TO' 'THE' 'FAMILY'

Was this a message for us? It certainly seemed like it, and the next words confirmed it.

'SAMUEL' 'LILA' WESLEY' 'EVE' 'NOAH' 'NIKKI' 'ELIAS' 'CARTER' EMMALEE' 'CJ' 'REECE' 'TRINITY' REAGAN' RIKA'

Well, there were all of our names, but was that all? Nope, here come more words.

'WE' 'ARE' 'HAPPY' 'YOU' 'ARE' 'HERE' 'WITH' 'US' 'LOVE' 'GLORIANA' 'AND' 'VALERIAN'

After the words there was a group picture of all of us. All fourteen of us were in the shining image in the sky.

"You know, she loves showing off her light skills." Dietrich leaned forward and whispered in my ear.

"What?" I jumped and turned toward him.

"When I was here before, she did light shows all the time. She is really good at it though, isn't she?"

"Yeah, she is." I smiled at the nostalgic look in his eyes.

"As I told Shawn, I do not regret my time with her, but I do not wish to repeat it. The Fae nobility have a lot of crazy ideals."

Those words of his left me with an awkward feeling. I didn't know what it was that he was calling crazy, but I was betting that at some point in my future I would find out. I just hoped it wouldn't be detrimental to me or my family. I wouldn't want to cause strife between me and the Fae, especially since I was one now.
