Fun
Of course, the first ones to recover are Dan and Gary because nothing seems to be able to keep them serious for long.
"Son, you are a superhero! " He exclaims as Pete slowly flies towards him.
As Dan catches him he starts spinning him around in crazy, fast circles and that makes both of them giggle from giddiness.
Gary doesn't want to miss all the fun, so he starts spinning around as well and making some strange gurgling noises that I guess are gargoyle giggles.
"You are the most powerful person ever! " Exclaims Dan as they spin around.
"I always knew you were special but this is awesome! Even better than anything I could have imagined."
I watch him horrified that he is spinning the Deliverer around in circles as if he is a regular child.
On the other hand, he is still just a regular child, isn't he?
But he is also the all-powerful Artim who would deliver us from all the pain and suffering, that is so weird.
How was I supposed to play around with Pete knowing what I know?
My whole perspective is changing. I have this strange feeling as if I should address him as a king or a prophet or something equally important.
Sam's eyes are bigger than I have ever seen them, and her mouth is open wind as she watches her husband spinning their son in circles. The son who is, by the way, the savior of the whole world, the savior of both humans and magicals.
I guess it is a difficult piece of information to process since she seems frozen in shock for a few moments.
The fire seems to burn in her eyes as she is fighting off anger trying to accept the fact that her little baby boy is actually some magician from another world. A world she didn't even know existed until a few years ago.
She seems to understand that there is no need to be angry but her overprotective nature makes it difficult to accept that her child who isn't even old enough to understand things properly has to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders.
As I watch the fire in her eyes die out I see that she realizes the same thing I did, that Pete has always been much more intelligent and serious than other babies.
It seems as if he has always been aware of his destiny and accepted it without all the fuss that we are making about it.
Finally, anger is substituted by pride as she finally accepts that her child would save us all from the woes of life.
Upon seeing that we are all a bit calmer Peace continues telling us the truth that we all needed to hear.
"I have known about this since the first time I saw Pete, but none of you were ready to accept the fact at the time.
After these few years that have passed, I thought you might have less difficulty accepting the truth since you were able to get a bit more familiar with the magical beings and the ways of magic.
Yesterday, I had a vision of us standing here and I knew that it was time for you to learn the truth." he says.
We are all very quiet so he goes on.
"When I first came to Earth I could feel a strong magical presence that I couldn't explain, so I decided to find the source of it.
My senses led me to a kindergarten where I first saw Pete with his father leading him in.
That was when I decided to use a bit of my magic, I turned myself into one of the teachers there to have a closer look at the tiny human that possessed such power.
The first time our eyes met I knew him for who he is, Artim, but also something else, my human counterpart that wasn't only human.
It was a bit confusing but there was this bond that appeared between us, immediate recognition.
We spent some time together I even took him for a ride a few times, by the way, that is the reason he was always hungry when he came back from the kindergarten.
I realized that a bond was created between us, a bond of a human and a magical even though he was both at the same time."
"That is so confusing," I say.
"Yes, I agree," he responds.
"It was confusing for me, as well. But connecting with Pete made me feel more powerful, more magical if you want to put it that way.
I remembered that in the past, the magicians and unicorns had a very strong bond, so I thought this bond was a combination of that one and the bond between a human and a magical.
That was when my golden aura started appearing. May, you noticed but decided to put it aside.
It only increased with time and that night when I saw you all at the council meeting, I knew that the prophecy was coming true, but it was too early to tell you all about it."
As he said that, Pete flew from his father's hands to the unicorn and sat on his back.
The golden aura increases. It is so bright that it is difficult to look at it.
Then Pete raises his hands and creates the most beautiful aurora borealis I have ever seen.
It is even more beautiful than the one that brought down the technology.
To me, it seems like a magnificent combination of a rainbow and aurora borealis and I can't help but exclaim in joy.
That is when he starts making colorful bubbles all around us knowing that they are my favorite thing ever.
So I go on chasing bubbles, around the meadow and feel as happy as I only felt when I was a small child, unaware of the world problems.
While I chase the bubbles he creates some hamburgers for his mother and some cool funny items for his dad.
I guess he is showing off a bit, but rightly so.
Peace let us enjoy the magic for a bit, but then he says: "I am sorry to interrupt your fun but there is still a lot of work to be done. We just wanted you to get a sense of how it actually is to feel pure joy so that you know what we are all fighting for. Let's get down to work!"
