These reptilian shifter groups were even smaller than the bird shifters. In all, the reptiles included snakes, komodo dragons, alligators, and crocodiles. And, is it wrong of me to say that they all looked a little scary when I met them?

Each and every reptilian shifter seemed to have something sinister about their looks. Gabriel and Vincent both said that they were trustworthy people; it was just the way that they looked. I had a feeling that a lot of people judged them unfairly the way that I had at first.

The more that I got to know the reptiles though, the more that I was able to see that they were mostly good people. Like every group there were a few undesirables, but for the most part they were open and receptive to meeting me and hearing what I had to say. I guess it also helped that I was clearly someone who had authority over them when they had to listen no matter what.

"Welcome, shifters, I introduce to you your Queen and King." Gabriel had given his speech the same as he had every time that we welcomed a new group. Everyone in the room looked at me reverently and with awe filled eyes. When they saw Gabriel bow to me as I sat on my throne they also sat down.

"Welcome." I called out to them. "As you have all heard by now, I am the Queen of the Shifters as well as the Queen of the Children of Magic. I have called you all here to discuss how the way we live might be changing slightly. I do not wish to drastically change your lives. To be honest, I want nothing less than peace for us all. I want all species of the supernatural world to get along with each other and work together. That is the first step to a world where we no longer have to fear being found out."

There was a murmur that went through the crowd, and I hate to say this but it sounded like the soft hissing of a bunch of snakes all at the same time. After they deliberated among themselves for a few moments they turned to look at me as a whole once more.

"We have no reason not to trust you or believe you." A man with piercing blue eyes and a white lightning bolt shaped scar on his cheek was the one to speak up. "We can all feel the power of our Alpha coming from you and we accept you. What is it you want from us?"

This man seemed to be someone that would work wonderfully on the council. I would need to suggest that he join us.

"What is your name?" I asked him in a polite voice.

"My name is Nathair Adder, I am a boa shifter."

"Thank you." I nodded at him in thanks for him following my request. "Now, Nathair, I am organizing a council that will need two of you to help fill the ranks. One man and one woman will be selected to help make sure that your people are given the proper consideration. The rest of you will be made into nobles that will be called upon to give feedback and reports on how your people are faring. I want a world where no clan or species is left out. You are all my people just as much as the others are."

The conversation continued for a little while before I conducted the individual interviews. There were a dozen of these clan leaders and there were so few of them that they mostly all went into the Central Noble rank so that they would have a chance to speak if need be. Four of them became High Nobles, and two of them would become Grand Nobles. Nathair agreed to join the council as did a komodo dragon woman by the name of Kayda Wyvern.

Now that I was through with meeting the Reptile Shifters there was only one group left to meet with. They only had six clans in total. This group was both smaller than all the others but larger than some of them. They only had the four groups in all but they also had more people in their clans than most of the other small groups.

The last group of people were the Sea shifters which was to say Mermen, Mermaids, Sirens, Selkies, and Sea Serpents. The Mermen and Mermaids made up the bulk of these people and they totaled close to half a million if not more. The others were smaller but still had some numbers to them.

When I called these groups to us, some of them didn't come alone. The Merfolk specifically, had brought with them a few of their dignitaries to help aid us. They apparently had their clans subdivided so that they were easier to manage. That means that they brought the men and women who were responsible for the smaller factions of their people. There were also three different Merfolk clans altogether.

The leaders of these subfactions were to become Central Nobles while the leader of the groups as a whole and the individual clan leaders would all become the High Nobles. I would also choose among them the two council members.

One of the Merfolk clans had brought with them a couple that ran a sub group. Their names were Analise and Reef Rivers. The two of them were a political dream team that would make a great addition to the team. They would both join the council, however they would only get one vote between them when the time came to cast them. The last member to join us was Ronwin Brine, a Selkie that could turn into a seal.

Now that this final group had been met with and chosen from the council was complete. I would soon be meeting with the twenty-four, no twenty-five because of the Rivers.. Now it was time for us all to get things moving toward the right path for the future.
