"I want to welcome all of you to Castle Gray. Some of you have been here before, and some of you have not." I smiled at them before continuing. "However, I know that you all know the reason and purpose behind your visit today. All of you have been chosen to be the members of my council. I want to use your wisdom and advice to help our people. I don't just mean my people either, I intend to do what I can to improve relationships between all the supernatural communities and factions. I only want what is best for all of our people."
There was still silence that met me after I spoke. It seemed that most of them had nothing to say at the moment. With a slight turn of my head, I turned to look at Dietrich to help break the ice and make them all feel more comfortable. He seemed to know what it was that I wanted since he smiled, nodded ever so slightly, and stood up.
"Thank you for that welcome, Queen Trinity. I, for one, know how you have already acted toward your people, and how you truly intend to lead everyone into a much brighter future. For those of you that do not know me, I am Dietrich Conrad. Up until about a year and a half ago, I was the Vampire Emperor. After having met Queen Trinity, I have since been blessed by the Goddess of Vampires. While my authority was already there, this ascension in power came with the title of king. So now, I am King Dietrich Conrad of the Vampires."
Dietrich paused for a moment and let the little bit of information sink in for the gathered members. They were in the presence of two kings at the moment. Three, if you really wanted to get technical, since Shawn was being called King Shawn by the other vampires. Much to Shane's dismay they never called him the Empress or the Queen.
"Queen Trinity is the only person I bow to, as you might have all seen. I may be a King, but she is a Queen twice over, plus I respect her more than I could ever tell you. She is a phenomenal leader who has done so much not just for her people here in Trinity Falls and Colorado Springs, but all around the country. Trinity has rescued people, offered assistance when she could, and organized different programs to help other people. She is a wonderful leader and a truly remarkable person." I felt like tearing up at Dietrich's words, but I needed to force them back. I couldn't cry in front of these people.
"Dietrich is right." Athair mór stood then, prompting Dietrich to take his seat. "I am Prince Valerian Undine of the Fae. I haven't known Trinity as long as the Vampire King has, but I know that she is an amazing person. Her magic is flawless and could be near limitless if the training she has been doing continues. She is a wonderful mother to her children, she cares deeply for her family, and she will not tolerate the fools who have attempted to harm her or her loved ones. I have personally seen Queen Trinity execute a would be assassin. The method was flawless and perfectly composed. I have never seen anything like it."
Suddenly I wasn't so happy that Athair mór was speaking on my behalf. Part of me wanted to laugh and part of me wanted to scream at him to stop.
"That isn't all there is though." Trevor stood up, stopping Athair mór from making any more of his speech.
"That's right." Landon followed him as he rose to his feet as well. "Trinity isn't just a woman blessed by the Gods and Goddesses. No, she herself is the Goddess Incarnate. She is the current living embodiment of Nehalennia. While she herself is not the Goddess, she has gifts and abilities unlike anything that have ever been seen before."
"Not to mention, she has the ability to share her gifts with the world. She has blessed many people with a new-found power they never had before." Trevor's eyes were shining with brightness.
"Power?" Nathair looked confused. "What kind of powers might those be?"
"All different kinds, Nathair." I told him with a smile. "The abilities I have granted include combat abilities and pure magical abilities. There are people who can summon elemental weapons or use telekinesis, some others can heal with just their words or their presence, while others can tell me if someone near us is a friend or a foe."
Those last words of mine caused those who didn't know me or my entourage to gasp and stop moving.
"So, we have all been deemed trustworthy then." Analise smiled. "At least that would mean that none of us are out to harm you."
"I am hoping that we find that none of you are out to harm each other either." I chuckled a little, hoping to convey that I was feeling light hearted and happy with the fact that the tension in the room was easing.
"I do not think there is much to worry about." Rahim gave a soft smile. "My magic has often told me if there is someone unfriendly nearby. I feel nothing of the sort at the moment. Many of us had been stressed and worried when we arrived, but there were no enemies here. This is a safe space."
"I am glad to hear that, Rahim." Reece finally spoke up for the first time. I guess he wanted to be more than my arm candy after all. "There is much that we wish to accomplish during this meeting. I am hoping we can get that done so that we aren't called back in for multiple sessions."
"Let us all hope that it can move that quickly." Reef laughed. "That will be a first for us. The peace missions we used to be sent on would often last for months.. They were a little difficult to handle at times."
