They followed the Lycan guard to another door. He opened the door, "Go down the steps to the chairs on the turntable. Please remember, no talking until requested." We walked through the door onto a balcony. Off to the side were steps. Charlie says, "They did some redecorating since I was last here as a child with grandma."

Cynthia replied, "Yes, they made it a balcony with a ledge after they had someone fall down the steps. Now the steps are off to the side with a balcony ledge."

I see lush cushioned chairs in the middle of the room on the turntable. I look around and remember the nine small stages. The curtains are now blue, but last time I was here, they had been red.  We go down the steps, head over, and each takes a seat.

Joesph says, "I have seen photos of this room, and they did not do it justice."

Zephyr replied, "When we designed this room, we wanted to see beauty and be in comfort.  This room is magically enhanced to expand when needed. We spent so much time with each other we wanted the comfort of home." Just then, the lights dimmed.

The supernatural flag lowered right above one curtain. They stood and tapped their hand above their heart.
The flag was royal blue with a white diamond shape. In the top left corner was a star to represent the witches. The top right was a tree to represent the fairies. The lower left was a mermaid to represent the merfolk. The lower right corner was a symbol to represent the goblins.

On the diamond's top corner were two wolf heads back to back to represent the Lycan. The left corner was the wolf head to describe werewolves. In the middle was an infinity symbol to represent all other supernatural. The right corner was a mirror image symbol to represent the elves. The lower corner was a knife to mean the vampires.

The curtains opened for the stages. Each stage had a different setting: five goblins sitting in a cave setting; five vampires seated in a stone castle setting; five Merfolks swimming in an ocean setting; five elves were in a woodland setting with a lake in the background1; five werewolves in a wood setting; five fairies were in a garden setting with trees around it and a small brook running through it; five Lycan sitting in a wood setting; five witches set in a kitchen setting; but the biggest surprise was seeing the ninth stage. On that stage in a cave was one dragon lying in the back; a giant leaning against him, a gnome sitting on a chair; and two shifter cats. Then two sirens appeared on the mermaid stage.

Tiana flew down and landed on the turntable. "Charlie, stop staring at that stage. You were brought under better than that."

My face turned red. I looked at the dragon and giant. "I apologize for being rude. I just never had seen a dragon or giant. You were always something in folklore." I turned to my aunt, "I apologize to the council for my rudeness. I will admit I was surprised."

My aunt laughed, "You are forgiven. When we call a special session, we always invite the leaders of the various infinite supernaturals. They accepted this time because of visions they were informed of."

Elder Zephyr waved his hand, "yes, Elder Zephyr," she asked.

"Are you all feeling a pull toward Alpha Charlie that you never felt before?"

A unanimous "yes," was said by all.

"This is why Alpha Charlie and Alpha Joesph are here. I had Elders Sarah, Carmen, and Freya meet me for tea about their vision." He held up the drawing he had shown us in the other room. He waved his hand, and everyone had the picture in their hands, looking at it.

The fairies, vampires, and giants were murmuring in a puzzling voice, "Why are we listed under the wind?"

One of the gnomes murmured, "Why are trolls listed under Earth when they live under bridges in the water."

The mermaid and sirens murmured. "Why are nymphs on here? They are our enemies?"

The dragon murdered, "The last phenix died a couple of centuries ago."

The Lycan and wolves were, "Who is the wolf wearing a crown?"

One of the witches said, "Why didn't Grammy share this vision she had with us?"

Elder Zephy shouted out, "Enough. You all have been in council long enough to know not to do uproars like this in front of guests." He turned toward Cynthia, Joseph, and me, "You can tell this news is shocking by their reaction."

The dragon stood up and jumped off the stage. He shifted to a tall humanoid figure.  His hair was a combination of white, red, and black spikes. His eyes were black with a reddish hue.  He had reddish tattoos on his chest that resembled a scale appearance. He had dark black and grey pointed scales on his arms and shoulders.  His hands were red fingers with claw-type fingernails,  his legs were dark black and grey scales, and his feet had red scales and claws.

"Hello, Supreme Charlie. My name is King Landbeuck, the leader of the dragons. I am the oldest here. I have, throughout my life, seen other Supremes emerge when needed. Supremes came about in various species. I will admit I was surprised when my vision woke me up. I can answer the question of  the various breakdowns."

Tianna flew over and sat on her mate's lap in the werewolf stage. "I give the floor to Landbeuck."

"Thank you, Councilman Tianna." He looks around the room, "When supernaturals were formed, we all came from five essential elements.  They were Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and Lightening.

The Supremes come to Lightening. Just like lightning in the sky, it is mighty. It does control all elements. Since Charlie is only 23, he has not yet received the power to prevent all.  I am not sure if the goddess sends that power to use before he is 25 or not. However, she seemed to be able to send him the ability to draw others to him at just the age of 23. That is a puzzle to me."

Landbeuck then walked over in front of the goblins. "The goblins live beneath the ground. They can dig and create openings in the Earth that not all can. They are beings that came from the Earth and prefer to stay there over time."

He walked over to the mermaid stage, "Nymphs and Kelps used to be friends with Mermaids and Sirens. They lived in harmony until about 600, maybe 650 years ago. Nymphs could swim in water or fly above the water like fairies. The king back then was jealous and tried to force a mate on  Nymph. That led to the war. The Kelpies had a green appearance, and many were scared of them. They moved to the deep sea. They rarely came up, and when they tried, the king drove them back down. He was what humans call racist now. He taught those who descend from them to fear something they knew nothing of. The kelp became a boogie man to the merchildren. I am unsure why he never went after the siren for their voice. It was speculated back then he did not consider their voice a weapon. Kelp should be added to our list unless they have gone dark."

He approached the witches, "When you were created, you can from the ground. You respected Earth and learned how to use what was on Earth to help others. Slowly you were given other elements too. The witches followed the light. Yes, some started practicing dark magic. Those dark magic witches were referred to as warlocks. Warlocks can be male or female."

He walked over to where the giant was, "you asked about why you were cast in the wind category. The answer is because most of you still live on islands in the sky."

He looked down toward the gnomes, "Well, you are now known as builders, but you can build anything from Earth's gifts. But you asked about trolls. They also used to make, but they started following dark ways.  The giants went after them because they were going after you, gnomes.  Your ancestors built the giant's beautiful homes in the sky.  The good trolls built bridges and hid under them. When giants or evil trolls came their way, they hid in the water. The cruel trolls were thought to of been wiped out. Though in my vision, I saw giants fighting trolls. Plus saw trolls fighting trolls. You gnomes were fighting trolls with some odd-looking pickaxe.

He walked over to the vampires. "You asked about why you were wind. Some of your species were wind, and others were from lightning. Those vampires could drain power from other beings. A supreme vampire took them down almost a thousand years ago.  Yes, throughout the years, a few lightning vampires appear. Your species fell under the wind because of your speed. You can run and leave a breeze and even zoom up sides of buildings. That is why you're under the wind."

He then walked to the fairies, "All fairies can fly. You use air to help you to fly. Throughout the years, your giving nature had the goddesses give you various other elements. Some take care of the Earth. You were able to make things grow. Some were given the power of water or fire. You use various elements to better the world around you. Yes, some fairies started to go dark. The dark fairies were called fey. Though now some feta should be called fairies, your queen let's old folktale keep her from trusting them. She needs to open up her heart to see their true feelings. However, it will be one of her descendants who has that true gift to see them. This descendant will even see fairies who are fey. Fey will be sent to another dimension. I saw fairies fighting fey up on some mountains in my vision."

He approached the wolves, "I know Charlie coordinated the fight. I saw various groups following him. He shifted to his normal color wolf coat and then did a second shift to all-black. When he turned all black, I saw Phoenix rising.  It was wolves fighting rouges. One phoenix was burning down trees, and what they scared out drove them down the other side" he walked over to the Lycan's stage."

"I saw you all in humanoid, wolf, or Lycan forms.  Fighting beside you were, and he gazed across the room to the cat shifters, "were various other shifters."

He returned to the middle, "I saw a female warlock yelling with Jocelyn. Then I woke up. I don't know if that meant your mom is alive or if this was from another time. I know this battle was the first of many, and you ended up by an elemental tree, and leaders of other supernaturals were around the tree with you wearing a crown."

He looked at Tianna, "The council has to accept Supreme Charlie as our leader before we train for battle. When that happens, more and more will feel the pull to join him. His power has come on early because whoever is leading the dark side is already calling others. The first they called was when they helped escape."

Tianna stood up,  "Zephyr did you know anything about what King Lanbeuck was going to share?" She looked at Cynthia, "As their representative, did you know they would lead to possible treason charges? Joesph, were you aware of treason blogging to be done?"

Charlie stood up and growled in a loud and powerful voice, "Aunt Tianna, what the hell. No one has committed treason here. We came to the council to stop that."

Goliath jumped before his mate, "You may be considered my nephew, but I won't take you disrespecting my mate."

Tianna touched him, "Calm down, both of you. You misunderstood Charlie. I was not accusing them of treason. I was referring to the dark side. Were they aware that Landbeuck has stated a war is coming, not just over Jocelyn?"

She stopped, "I am not sure, but I don't think you, the Supreme that will win this war. I think it will be a second generation who will. I don't think it was you who shifted to a black wolf. You will have a pup who will lead us to victory."

She looked around the chambers to the various stages, "We need to come together and claim Charlie as Leader Supreme and pledge ourselves to him. All in this chambers who feels the pull to follow Charlie Sommer-Hutton and crown him first generation Leader Supreme say I."

A round of "I'" we're heard throughout the chambers.

"All opposed say NAY." The room was quiet.

The motion is carried, "Supreme Leader Charlie, do you accept us as members to support you in this upcoming war?"

"Yes." There was then a huge bright light. Power shifts were felt. Everyone in the chambers had passed out from the power surge.
