Trinity

~~

As Reece and I met with many of the dignitaries from Europe, the first ones that we visited due to the timing of it all, we noticed that there was a lot of opposition to what we were saying in the beginning. It was a little difficult to get a lot of humans on board with what we were trying to do at the moment. And a lot of them took a lot more convincing than the president of the United States to accept that what we were telling them was true.

Yes, we still pulled that whole magic door into their office thing. And that did scare a lot of people. They wanted to know how it was even possible for us to do such a thing. And, man, am I glad that I was using a lot of magic those days. Even back when we visited the president that day. I was using so much that I was literally able to interrupt the video feeds from the security cameras in the offices.

I honestly can’t believe that I hadn’t thought about that when I first entered the oval office, but I definitely thought about it after the fact. And then when I spoke to someone that was able to find out the details for me, I learned that the footage seemed to just continue showing the president talking to the politicians. There was no record of me visiting that night at all. And not only that, but there was no record of the phone call between the president and I. That was another thing that seemed to be benefitting us as well.

As time was passing, and with each new visit to the other heads of states, I learned that the same thing was happening with them. There were no call records. There was no video from the cameras in the office. There was never anything that was left behind, except for memories in the minds of the people that we spoke to.

A few of the people that we met in Europe needed to have more than one meeting to accept what it was that we were telling them. They were having trouble with the fact that Reece and I were really not human. And their human minds were rejecting what they saw when we shifted right in front of them. The truth of the matter was just too difficult.

The President of France was one of the hardest to convince. You would think with all the things that happen in France, they would have accepted and understood the truth a lot sooner. But that just wasn’t the case. It took us a total of five times visiting Francois Moreau for him to finally accept what he was seeing. And then, during that visit, he just laughed hysterically for five minutes.

.....

When the man finally calmed down and he admitted that this wasn’t an elaborate ruse or anything like that, he asked how it was even possible that he could help us since we were not human and therefore we were extremely powerful.

“S’il vous pla?t président Moreau, nous devons protéger notre peuple.” I decided to speak in French this time instead of relying on English. Moreau spoke English, but I knew that the plea in his native tongue would hold more weight. Not only that, but I was about to repeat it in English anyway. “Please, please, please, President Moreau, we need to protect our people.” OK, this time I said please more times, but it was still the same thing.

“I understand that. As a president that is responsible for his own people, I understand the position that you are in, Madam Gray. I truly understand that you just want your people to be safe when this is over, but what does this do for me?”

“President Moreau, do you think that my people aren’t some of your people? My people are spread all over the world. They are my people because of what they are, but they are your people for where they are. Some of our people are the same. These are your own citizens that we are talking about. These are people that have done nothing wrong. They work normal jobs. They have normal families. The only thing that is threatening them is that someone thinks nonhumans are dangerous and should be dealt with. We have lived here with you all since the beginning. And we have done nothing at all to hurt any of you. All I am asking for now, President Moreau, is that you help me keep their lives as peaceful as they are now.”

“I understand.” He nodded at me. “If they are indeed here and they have committed no crimes, then I see no reason for their lives to change. I wouldn’t want to punish my people for just having a different set of DNA. I am not a racist man, Madam Gray, and I will not let that happen here.”

“It’s more than just a race.” I spoke softly, not really wanting to deflate him.

“Not in my eyes. They are just another race of people. That is all. And I will protect them.” He sounded so determined that I couldn’t fault him at all. He was beyond amazing at the moment.

“Thank you, President Moreau.”

After that conversation with Moreau, there had been a lot of discussions opened up with other leaders. We started getting more bills drafted in Europe and different heads of state putting these bills and laws into effect without the majority of the people knowing what was going on. There was a lot that was happening behind the scenes and that was the best part of it all. No one knew what we were doing because there was so much other stuff hiding it from them.

I knew that this was underhanded and that we shouldn’t be forcing all of this without the humans knowing, but I had no other choice. I needed to protect my people. I needed to make sure that they had nothing to worry about.

About the time that we were going to Asia for the meetings, and therefore gone in the evening while the kids were having dinner and sleeping, that was when the sleepovers that Reagan had suggested were happening. I was still a little upset about the fact that I wasn’t going to be there for Zaley’s first ever sleepover. However, I understood that she was getting older and that I wasn’t always going to be there to see her firsts. I understood that, but it was so hard for me to accept as a mom.

I was keeping myself busy though, as a way of distracting myself from the sadness. And I was putting all that energy toward the issues at hand. I knew that it would be both harder and easier to get what we needed while we were in Asia. For one thing, most people in Asia were a lot more open to the mythical and magical parts of the world. They believe in more spiritual things. Well, some of them did anyway. Not all of them.

We did have an easier time getting the leaders over there to accept our existence. That wasn’t where we were having the problem. A lot of them didn’t even need to see us shift at all before they believed that there really were people that weren’t human. They took us at our word, but I still insisted on showing them what we were really like. I think that helped to calm some of them down, seeing that we were just larger versions of the animals in the wild.

No, our problem over there was the equality rights. A lot of the leaders wanted to dictate what we were trying to put into the laws that we wanted to pass. And if it wasn’t for me telling them just how many people in their countries weren’t human, then I didn’t think that we would have managed to convince them. Not only that, but I did manage to call on a few of those people that weren’t human and have them explain to their own leaders about how many of them there were. Seeing it for themselves was partially what helped the leaders to understand why we needed to get these things passed.

Still, like we had to in Europe, we needed to meet with a lot of these people multiple times. And what was funny, I needed to take the President of China out on a world tour through magical doors before he agreed to allow the bills to pass. I thought that it was a little odd, but the man just wanted to live a little. I think the act of actually experiencing magic was what he truly wanted to see for himself.

After China was on board with us, a lot of the other Asian nations were quick to join us. One by one, with pleading or sometimes unintentional fear, we were able to get the leaders to understand and accept. In truth, I really didn’t mean to scare anyone, but I knew that our animal forms could be frightening to some people. And those forms may or may not have won us a few battles just so that we never showed them those forms again.

As guilty as I felt about scaring some of the people, I wasn’t going to let it stop me. We were almost there. We almost had all that we needed to before the reveal could happen. And it was still the weekend before Thanksgiving. We had accomplished so much in such a little amount of time. I was ecstatic, and more than ready to keep moving forward.
