Trinity

I let the voices die down as the people that were in disbelief and disagreement stopped their rebuttals to what I had to say. They needed to listen to me. They needed to understand that I wasn’t wrong about this. And I didn’t really want to order them to do this for me. I needed them on my side willingly, not forcefully.
When the sounds of their voices finally stopped, I spoke again. I kept my voice steady and calm. I needed them to see that I was in control and that I wasn’t panicking about this at all.
“Listen. All of you. Please just take a step back and listen to me.” I urged them a little more into the calmness that they had exuded before. “Now, I know that this is a scary situation, but we can navigate this. I know that having the humans find out about us is not a comforting thought, but we can manage this.”
I rose from my throne again. I needed to be on my feet for this. I needed to show them all that, figuratively and literally, I will stand my ground before the people that were meaning to do us harm. Yes, they weren’t out to hurt us physically, but they meant to taint the world’s opinions of us. They meant to show us as evil monsters, and I didn’t like that at all.
“We are going to rise above this. We need to secure our rights all over the world. We need to show the presidents, the kings and queens, the various people that are in authority over the citizens of the world that we are not dangerous, and we need to do it in a hurry. We do not know how much longer we have until the NSA has concluded their investigation on us. And we don’t want to waste any time at all.”
“Yeah, I agree.” I heard a voice from the crowd that sounded like Prime Minister Westmont. She was apparently on my side with this decision. “We need to stand up to the people that think that they can bring us down. And we need to show them that we are here to stay. We are just as much people as the rest of them are, and we deserve all the same rights as they do. And I will do all in my power to make sure that the people of the world, not just in England or the UK, but the entire world, have the right to continue living the way that they always have.” When Westmont stopped speaking, she was standing as well. She was on her feet and telling the others what it is that she thought about all of this. “I agree with Queen Trinity, and I say that we all work together to make this a better world for us all. Humans and Super Naturals alike.” There were cheers at her words of support for me. And there were even some people that were sitting there in quiet contemplation, but none of them spoke against her. She was the type of politician that I needed to help me with this situation.
.....
“I agree with Westmont.” Mykola Petrenko stood after that. “We need to stand with Queen Trinity. We need to be united. Our people need to be the voices of reason in this situation.”
“WHY, THOUGH!” A man with a southern US accent spoke up. It sounded to me like he might have been from Texas, Louisiana, or someplace down there. “We outnumber them. We have weapons and means to ending the humans if they turn against us.” That was when I saw the man that was speaking. It was Senator Allen Silvers from Texas, and he has always been the type to fight for gun rights and freedoms. That was all well and good, but not in this situation.
“Senator Silvers, what you don’t understand at the moment is that we don’t want the humans to view us as monsters. Do you think that they would ever vote for you again if you start waving guns in their faces and tell them that they need to accept you or else?”
“Does that matter? I have the nonhuman voters. I will still hold my office.”
“And what if they force through a bill that says that only humans can serve in office. What if they get rid of us all just because we’re not human?” That was Senator Alicia Stevens from Delaware. “We might not be allowed to continue in office if they find out about us in a negative way. I agree with Queen Trinity, we need to be proactive here.”
“If the humans turn on us, then we kill them. They will accept us if enough of them die.” Silvers growled. I knew that he was a wolf, but he was also an asshole.
“That isn’t an option, Silvers.” I snapped at him. “And I forbid you, and every other member of my kingdom from killing a human that is innocent. We will not kill the humans simply because they are afraid of us. That will not help us at all. I want to show them that we are not monsters. And killing them won’t help with that.” I was glaring at him so hard that I knew he could feel it. “Not only that, Silvers, but if we kill all the humans, that will crash every business in the world. Half of the population will be gone, and entire markets will disappear. We can’t just kill them.” Finally, it looked to me like he was understanding what was going on. His head hung low for a minute and then he looked at me with questioning eyes.
“Then what must we do, Queen Trinity?” He looked defeated, which I thought was the way that he was the entire time. He had just been hiding the truth beneath his anger.
“We need to work hard to get things ready. Those of you that have clout in D.C., we need to draft up some bills and get them passed as soon as possible. I need to meet with President Maddock. And those of you from other nations, we need to do the same thing. Hopefully, with the US already starting to work on this issue, they will usher in these plans as well. Petrenko, Westmont, I know that the two of you will be able to make serious changes in your country. We need to work fast here, and we need to secure these legislations as quickly as possible.”
“I want to help.” Prince Hisahito spoke up from next to his wife, the wolf. “We will help to get the political changes in Japan, and then we will work on the surrounding nations.”
“Thank you. I appreciate the assistance.”

“Anything to help.” Hisahito bowed his head and showed that he was more than willing to bear this fight.
There were a lot of other shouts of agreement and willingness to help. I knew that I had them, or at least most of them. And I knew that they were all going to do as they were told. Even if they were slightly against this plan, they would help because the queen had told them to. There was just no going against me, unless they wanted to make me angry. Not that I wanted to force them into this, I just wanted to make us all safe eventually.
The talks, plans, and speeches lasted through the night. We didn’t stop, and neither did they, until the sun was coming up outside of the castle. We couldn’t see the sun from where we were, but we were able to feel it in a way. We were creatures of magic and power, and we were all able to feel it when something as important and powerful as the sun had risen into the sky.
With them all needing to get back to their own home and to their jobs that they had to do. It was after seven in the morning here, but some of these people needed to get back to where it was much later in the day for them, even late at night in Japan and the other nations that far east.
As the groups of politicians were preparing to leave, I was approached by Westmont and Petrenko.
“Queen Trinity?” Petrenko’s thick Ukrainian accent making the two words a little harder to understand.
“President Petrenko, Prime Minister Westmont, what can I do for you?” I asked them in my most polite tone possible. I was feeling exhausted and just wanted to rest for a little while after they left.
“We wish to do as much for this cause as possible, Queen Trinity.” Westmont was the next to speak, her British accent was strong, but it didn’t make the words difficult to understand.
“You know that I have worked hard to rebuild my country after the wars that ravished our lands. I don’t want to see war like that again.” Petrenko’s eyes were filled with memories of the past, fears for the future, and heartache that threatened to undo him. “I don’t want to see that happen to anyone else, Queen Trinity. I want to protect the world. My people, not just my country, but my people all over the world, they need my help. And I want to be there for them and you, my Queen.”
“I agree with him, Queen Trinity. I know that I can help to make a difference. Gone are the days when my country uses its might to suppress the weak around them. We are building a land of equality and freedom. And I want to show my people, all of my people, that there is nothing to fear.”
“I appreciate that. There is so much that we can all do to make this work. Please, come back to visit me regularly while we make this happen.”
“Yes, of course Queen Trinity.” Petrenko nodded at me.
“We will do all that we can.” Westmont grinned.
I opened the doors to their homes and offices. The places that they all needed to be going back to after this meeting. It was the last thing that I needed to do before I was able to go upstairs and see the kids before school.
I would get a few moments of family time. A little slice of normality in the sea of chaos that was surging around me. I knew that during these next several days and weeks I would need to take my time to be with the kids. I needed them to keep me calm and to bring peace to my heart while I did what I knew that I needed to. This was going to be difficult, but I would manage. I had no other choice.
