Yggdrasill Rising

Where to begin?

Hekate stood on a nondescript back road outside of Mill Valley in California. Her hands were on her hips, her foot slowly tapping. She looked up and down a large, impenetrable hedge in front of her.

Here was the entrance.

The old entrance to her Shadowrealm.

And now that she was alive, her full power restored to her, she could restart what she had created millennia ago.

She took a deep breath, and in one long stride, she stepped through the earthen wall...

...and into nothingness.

Her Shadowrealm was still there-It probably rebuilt itself as soon as she came back to life.-but the exotic flora and fauna were gone. Everything was just dirt, with patches of grass here and there. But then what was that huge source of energy that was emanating all around her. It was an ancient and arcane source of power. But power none the less.

Then she saw it.

Yggdrasill.

It wasn't the towering skyscraper of a tree, but, sprouting fifteen feet in front of her, was a tiny, green sprout. And the energy pulsing from it could give power to New York City for a month.

She bent down, her silver dress shooting with color, like oil on water at the movement. Her jet black hands brushed against the little plant. It shivered, like it recognized her touch.

She got down low, so her lips were almost touching the little sprout, and she blew gently. Yggdrasill shivered and twitched again, but this time, as it moved in her breath, it began to grow. Slowly at first, then it began to shoot to life until it was twice the size of her, where it abruptly stopped.

"Soon, my dear Yggdrasill," She rested her palm against the soft wood as she spoke. She began to hum a sad, yet hopeful, melody. The World Tree began to grow, slowly, again. She turned away from it, and began to focus her magical power on the rest of the Shadowrealm.

Where were her precious servants and protectors? The Torc Allta? Lizard Nathair? Or any of the other myriad mythological beings who lived in her Shadowrealm.

A deep growl began at the back of her throat.

Bastet.

The Morrigan.

Dr. John Dee.

They had been responsible for the destruction of her dear creatures and her home. Her Yggdrasill included.

But beyond that, beyond what could be simply repaired by her power over magic, they had been responsible for her death.

An ugly, poisonous, acid-filled smile stretched across her face. Revenge. The feeling coursed through her like a drug. It made her heart beat rapidly, it made whips and sparks of energy crack off her, hissing and spitting in the air around her. She had a plan. A devious, evil, wretched plan. One that would be put into action, as soon as her home was restored.

The Goddess with Three Faces whirled around, still in her matron form. She looked up at the Shadowrealm's afternoon sun before striding to the World Tree. She laid her hands on its think trunk, and, in response to her touch, the Yggdrasill began to moan and sing. Green sparks of power sizzled off of it, flowing on and into her black skin.

"Give me your power, and I will share mine with you," She chanted, her eyes had become flat gold coins, "Together, we will rebuild our Shadowrealm, and together, we will destroy the Dark Elders.

With that, the Yggdrasill shot back to life, towering above the brown earth all around it, and together, the two, through each other's power, became, once again, invincible.
