Trinity

"What else is there for to see now? I already knew about the lives that were lost during the battle. You told about the monstrosities. What else is there that I need to know now?"
"This has nothing to do with the battle, or your sins. I just wanted you to see what the man that you killed was truly like." The other smirked at as if this was the most fun that she had ever had. "I think you will find that he had an interesting life."
"I don't care if he had an interesting life. He was a crazy ass son of a bitch that tried to destroy , the world, and everyone that I love. Not to ntion, he killed hundreds of his children. He was a monster and nothing about a monster is redeemable or interesting. It's just good that he is gone, plain and simple." I felt myself almost hyperventilating after that little tirade. I couldn't think of Edmond as anything other than a monster. I didn't want to see what else he was like. The thought was sickening to .
"That is quite an evil and dark way to put it, Trinity. Personally, I like it. However, that is not how this place works. You need to reconcile and accept. And you cannot do that yet, now can you?"
"I don't want to reconcile and accept Edmond. I will accept and reconcile everything else, but not Edmond." Was that fear or anger in my voice? I didn't know which one it was at the mont, but it was there.
"Just give this a shot, Trinity. I think you will be quite surprised by the ti that it is over."
When she finished speaking, the images on the screen started to play again. It was just after I left the battlefield. The children were gone as well. All that was left was the headless body of Edmond. What was so exciting about that?
As I watched though, there was this purple thread that started to co out of Edmond's neck. That thread was actually much bigger than I initially appeared, it had just been twisted to the side.
Once that thread was turned to the correct direction, I saw that it wasn't really a thread at all. Instead, it actually looked like it was a reel of film. It looked like the stuff you would find in old movie theaters. And on that film were blurred images.
"We are going to watch the movie of Edmond's life, Trinity. Would you like so popcorn?"
"Ha ha, very funny." I snapped at the other .
"I could not pass up the joke. It was the perfect opportunity." Dammit, I would have done the sa thing in her position. Maybe we were more alike than I thought.
The view focused on the film and that was when it stopped being so blurry. Now, I could see the images of a young man and a young woman who seed to be happy and in love. A handso man with brown hair and eyes and a beautiful woman with bright blue eyes and blonde hair. The two of them went through their wedding and were living what seed to be a perfect, yet simple, life. The man worked as a blacksmith and the woman was happy at ho, with her growing belly.
I also saw that the two of them did simple little bits of magic here and there. However, they didn't seem to be too skilled with it. It was like no one had ever taught them what to do. It was cute though, seeing them acting so innocent with it all.
When the woman gave birth to their baby, they both looked so happy and thrilled. However, when they actually looked at their baby, with his pure white hair and pure white skin, they thought that he was a monster.
That had been the end of the happy little couple that seed like they were living the perfect life. The man spent more and more ti away from ho while the woman did her best to raise the baby that she was so repulsed by.
The only oddities about Edmond as a baby had been his hair and skin color. He didn't look any different than other babies. In fact, he reminded a lot of Talia when she was first born, aside from the coloring that is.
The woman showed no love toward the baby, yet she made certain that he was fed and clothed at all tis. It was like she was afraid of the baby and didn't know what he would do to her.
Not only did they hide their baby from everyone in town, they told many of the people around them that their baby had died. This was only possible because Edmond didn't truly cry as a baby. He was almost eerily silent.
One night during the movie of Edmond's life, there was a point where his mother was just standing there, watching him like she thought there was sothing going on. Edmond was about a year old at this ti, and he seed to be seeing sothing that wasn't there. It was like he was seeing a ghost or sothing that his mother was not invited to know about. During this interaction with the unseen entity, baby Edmond seed to be baby-talking to soone. He smiled, cooed, and even giggled for that soone. That night, his mother felt like her son truly was a freak.
Things got worse and worse for the little family. The father would drink every night after work to avoid going ho. The mother hid in a corner of the house, barely cleaning and only doing things for the baby when he needed them. She tried her best to ignore her son.
Despite his mother never teaching him, sohow Edmond learned to walk, talk, and take care of himself. By the ti that he was two, he only required als from his mother. He cleaned himself up and got himself dressed. He just could not make his own food yet.
No, the making of his own food happened when he was five. He was cooking simple als on his own while his mother wasted away in the corner.
Another truly horrible thing that happened to young Edmond, was that from the ti that he was two, every ti that his father ca ho from work, he would beat the little boy. It was a miracle that the child didn't die from the massive blows he received from the big, strong blacksmith.
As a child, Edmond seed to have no love from anyone at all. He was alone all the ti. Yet he still spoke to soone that only he could hear. His mother and his father would often see him sitting alone either inside or outside their ho, just talking to himself.
"What else can I do?" He asked the wall in one part of the movie.
There was a long pause now like he was listening to soone speak, but there was only the sound of the wind.
"Can I really do that? But how? Who will show ?"
