The Children of Triune 16.5 The Smell of Death
It was strange. Though Gilly couldn’t see her, she knew Little Sister was right there, just beyond reach. Suddenly tiny hands parted the curtain of roots and technology. Eyes squeezed shut, hands outstretched, Little Sister bit her bottom lip and emerged from the veil.Gilly watched as Little Sister slowly opened her eyes just as the curtain closed behind her. Without blinking, her pupils adjusted, widened, and began to scan the vast expanse. She gasped; only one word parted her lips: “Magnificent.”The ledge where they stood looked out over a great expanse, so immense you would never believe such a thing existed so far down. Directly in front of their feet yawned a deep, dark crevasse, the blackness falling away as far as the eye could see. Waterfalls cascaded down certain rock faces and then rolled off into an even deeper, darker part of the Deep.“This way,” Gilly called, unafraid of the depths ahead. The thought of exploring always excited her; the dark seemed to beckon in a bene
The Children of Triune Ch 17 A Glimpse of Something Deeply Hidden
“Father!?” Gilly gasped, scrambling to regain her balance and secure herself back into her rig. Her heart hammered against her ribs. For the briefest instant. So quick she questioned her own senses. His face had twisted into something monstrous, a flash of unstoppable, ancient evil. And then, as if it had never existed, it was gone.“Grand afternoon, young lady.” His deep, resonant voice carried a thread of annoyance. “What in the world are you doing so far down in the Deep? And more importantly, why are you perched all the way out there while your tool bag sits over here?”Up close, he looked exactly as she had imagined him: chiseled features, dark hair lightly threaded with grey, pulled back and loosely woven to keep it from his face. He no longer looked young, but the strength radiating from him made youth seem irrelevant—he was stronger than any youth could ever hope to be.“I—um—I’m not…” Gilly swallowed hard and gestured awkwardly toward her tool bag, her eyes darting around f
The Children of Triune Ch 16 The Walk to the Deep Proper
The walk to the Deep proper was silently brisk. You could feel the urgency in Gilly as she and Little Sister descended into the planet’s crust. Little Sister struggled to keep up, kicking her tiny wings to help her maintain pace.Little Sister was a higher being, not a royal, but definitely an Elder. At least that is how Mother put it when she explained the diverse kinds of beings created along our ancient timeline of quiddity. Mother said Little Sister had been brought into existence long before even she herself had been made. Rumor held that the late Princess Lillet had fashioned Little Sister with her own hands centuries ago.“So, late today, huh?” Gilly broke the silence as the hallways began to refashion themselves into cave passageways.Little Sister sighed and shot her a ‘don’t ask’ look.“I know everything, I see everything,” she said finally, mimicking Mother’s tone. “She will never change; she’s always been like this. She’s like the kid sister who was spoiled and is now the
The Children of Triune Ch 15 Mischief and Pride
“Everything is perfect. All two hundred of them made it through the grow process with staggering results,” he said, stepping deeper into the shed. Pride warmed his voice and made his chest feel full. The stained glass painted his face in shifting mosaics as he moved.“Mother says that has never happened before. Normally they lose at least a handful during the initial germination phase.” Sophia smiled and squeezed his shoulder, her fingers cool and steady. The touch was casual but intimate, a small anchor. “She told me how delighted she is with your progress. She said some of the features you gave the next group not only look amazing, but serve multiple functions.”She gathered her spell materials with careful hands, folding cloth, returning jars to their places, and shelved them with the same reverence she gave the seedlings. She glanced back over her shoulder and raised an eyebrow at him, mischief and pride mingling.“She even hopes the next batch will be born with preprogrammed gift
The Children of Triune Ch 14 One Thing in My Circle
Guy stood quietly outside his best friend’s tiny seed shed in the far‑west corner of the massive underground Garden. The shed crouched beneath a lattice of roots and stone, a secret stitched into the earth. He had not expected to find her here, tucked away where the Garden’s hum softened into a private pulse, but he had finally tracked her down.The structure itself looked like a collage: panes of stained glass in jewel tones. Emerald, amber, and a bruised violet, set into a meandering patchwork of reclaimed wood planks. Each plank bore its own history: wormholes like tiny constellations, faded paint that hinted at other lives, knots that looked like closed eyes. Ivy had claimed one corner, its glossy leaves catching the candlelight and throwing tiny green reflections across the packed dirt path.A kaleidoscope of color washed over his coat as he approached the door. The light fractured into shards across his shoulders, painting him in bands of ruby and seafoam. Candlelight shimmered
The Children of Triune Ch 13 Ruines Ruse
“Adelaide? Oh, such a pretty name,” Gilly cooed, stepping closer. “She’s beautiful. So delicate looking.”“Don’t let her beauty fool you.” Tobey walked over to the dormant android and jabbed a finger at its plating. “Those components, that plating, everything about her is stronger, better, and far superior to any other android ever made. She’s a Regenerative; her systems repair and regenerate themselves.”Little Sister peered at the hibernating humanoid and reached out, smiling. “What’s wrong with her?”“Nothing that I know of,” Tobey shrugged. “Just a once‑over. Mother brings her down right before each batch’s Final Binding for inspection.”“So she’s been at Keystone House this whole time?” Little Sister crossed her arms and tapped her chin. “Interesting.”Gilly shrugged. Tobey made a ridiculous face that said he had no idea either.“You two, I swear.” Little Sister turned away from the android and faced them. “I knew you’d be thick as thieves the moment I saw that epic game of Ruine
