The Work of Olivia M. Hale Writing

The Endurance To Peace. By Olivia Madison Hale. Less than 5k word essay about being peaceful. 

   The Dotslokians planet has been destroyed, ruined by War...They have been on the search for a new planet for over 100 years. The majority of this time their race has spent asleep. Asleep in a long lasting sleep chamber, in which the chamber will take care of all body, and brain needs, such as food and water, and using the bathroom.

Dotslokians, from Planet Drakov, Andromeda Galaxy; have landed on Earth, believing that the planet is inhabited. They, aliens here, but they will make this their home. 

Dotslokians land in a vast open field. It's surrounded by woods... everywhere they look it's green, beautiful green. To make this place more homely, they build walls around their ship, with a gate for only one mean of entry for protection. 

Soon after, the Dotslokians began to get comfy. That was a big mistake. Soon they realized they weren't alone, and the creatures they are sharing a planet with; don't like to share. Humans. It started off some Dotslokians would go outside of the gates to retrieve food and water, and other supplies that they could survive off of the land for, instead of using our ship supplies, in case of a disaster...and they wouldn't return. They are believed to be dead...but no bodies have appeared. 

What were the Dotslokians supposed to think? That the humans took some of them in to their homes as pets? Obviously not. The Dotslokians look just like humans, except for their markings. Which almost resembled tattoos. 

The Dotslokians made contact with the Humans, contacting via Satilite Radio, King Caelum, and Mr. President talked over the radio for an hour, then The Humans invited a select few to the Presidential House for a dinner.

Later, The King, and I, and his sister Elise; and her husband Kai, all dressed in our best, got escorted to the Presidential House.

We sit, and talk, and dine with elegance. Seasoned Chicken was served topped with green beans, a side of roasted garlic buttered potatoes, and avocado slices. The meal was absolutely divine. 

"If I might ask...what are those markings all of you have?" Asked the President. 

"They are birthmarks. It's apart of our DNA, yet no two Dotslokians have the same birthmarks." Said King Caelum. 

"I see." Said Mr. President. 

Just as the president finished saying "see" King Caelum began choking and turning red. 

"He's been poisoned." Shouted Elise, my sister-in-law. 

I ran over to check for myself. There was a scoop of fish in his chicken, all Dotslokians are deathly allergic to fish... And since we aren't at our ship we cannot heal him, and he will die. 

"Who did this? Who is responsible for this horrific assassination against our King?" I demanded.  "Was it you, Mr. President? Or was it your chef?" I continued. 

No one said anything...However one of the big guards dressed in black head to toe, started to twitch his hand. He is nervous. As the King's wife, The Queen, I felt the need to investigate this. To avenge his body death. 

"You there...in the all black. You have been awfully quiet...do you know who has done this?" I begged. As I pulled him off to the side. 

He shook his head to say no. Then he spoke in a deep voice, that was crackly from smoking, with a southern drawl. "I did hear something..."he trails off. He spoke quietly, even through his deep raspy voice. 

"Well what did you hear?" I asked. 

"Well I heard the chef talking to the waitress." 

"And?..." 

"And...the chef knew your kind is deathly allergic to fish..." said the guard

"So you're saying the chef has killed The King?" I questioned. 

"It seems that way Ma'am." He said with a southern drawl. 

"He will go down for this. Thank you for your honesty sir." 

King Caelum's human like body, bled; just as his life force left his body he morphed into our tribes natural state...a blood-born. A body made only of blood, no veins, no bones, no skin, just blood in the shape of a human body, he muttered one last thing before his Tribal Dotslokian Death took him...

"Peace for All."

...the blood slowly evaporated from his blood-born body, as his soul left the galaxy. *Blood in blood out*. Leaving behind only a delicate small death rock, a rock in which is your life force, in which your soul and only your soul as a Dotslokians can be attached to. 

I, King Caelum's wife Elizabeth took over the throne temporarily as his Queen, until Caelum is able to make a full recovery; and strive to keep my promise. "Peace for All". 

A beautiful ceremony of life was held in honor of King Caelum. The death-rock that was produced when Caelum passed away, was laid in place of Caelum's body to be buried. The unique rock that is formed when you die, is tied to your soul, and your soul will find it's way back to the rock for the traditional blood revival. In which a Dotslokian can be revived from the dead.  The rock is buried 1 foot in the ground, and the soul will find the rock, then the soul squirms into the ground and wiggles into the rock, where the rock grows like a seed for a fruit. His body regrows to its full height and weight, within 1 month. A dotslokian can only be revived 100 times before we are truly gone. This is Caelum's fourth death, and for us, that is relatively young. 

During time of temporary Queen, Elizabeth leads the Dotslokian's to a happy life on a peaceful world, living alongside humans in harmony. Keeping her promise to her husband. King Caelum, 1 month after his death woke from the blood revival, although it traditionally will take months, for a Dotslokian to heal, after a death...it only took him one long month to heal...the fastest ever recorded revival period. 

King Caelum took back his rightful throne, and continued on with Elizabeth, the Queen's mission, that he created. "Peace for all."

Finally throughout War, Space Travel, and a death in the family, and a revival, Elizabeth steps away from the darkness; and is able to presue her truest passion, To Write. She still upholds the family legacy, to be Royal...all while living happily with Humans. 

Elizabeth started a book series, on the culture of Dotslokians, explaining the trials and tribulations of the tribe. 

Soon she began writing a political book series, of which got lots of attention from humans. 

Later Elizabeth started campaigning towards becoming The President Of The Earth, she and her newly revived husband traveled the world spreading the phrase of "Peace for All". 

Campaigning all around, Elizabeth convinces the people of Earth, to vote her into the top 3 for becoming president. 

It's now time for the Presidential Debate. 

"Starting off today's debate is Mrs. Elizabeth M. Dotslotta, Dotslokian from planet Drakov,  Andromeda Galaxy. She is here today to express her voice for not only herself, but her tribe, to represent Peace for All." Said, The Debate announcer Mr. Alex Nandrews.

"Well first I'd like to say, Thank you all for having me here today, and allowing my race, and tribe to come into your world. We love it here. But more importantly I'd like to start off this debate by taking us back into the past with the Civil War, the war against races. The war that divided the country by color, not by person. While Dotslokians look similar to humans, there are significant differences, and I know and understand that can be difficult for some, while not at all for others. Right before my husband passed, The King of Dotslokians, he asked me to keep a promise. A promise that there would be Peace for All, Humans, and for Dotslokians. I intend to keep that promise I made, and it is up to you to decide to be accepting of something new and different, or to not accept it. You decide." I said loudly so that everyone could hear, in a clear voice. 

"Now candidate number two, Mr. Gavin A. Anderson, representing Democratic Party. Human, from Earth, Milky Way Galaxy. " Said Mr. Nandrews. 

"Well who are you to come into our world and demand peace, while you started the second Civil War?  You claim to want peace for all,  but you're the one storming through our atmosphere, landing on our ground, and asking us to let you become citizens of Earth?" Asked Mr. Anderson. 

"And for our third candidate, Mr. John O. Briar, representing Republican Party. Human, from Earth, Milky Way Galaxy." Stated Mr. Nandrews. 

"I would like to add that I can agree with both of my opponents, I agree that the Dotslokians invaded Earth...but I also agree with Peace for All, that everyone deserves a chance...to prove themselves. And in truth, us Humans, have been through so much as a kind, Race Wars, Religion Wars, Hate Wars...why fight this one? Let's just accept the Dotslokians as our kind, and move on!" Said Mr. Brair. 

"Ok. Mrs. Dotslotta, anything to counter either candidate?" Asked Mr. Nandrews.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Nandrews.  Mr. Brair, thank you for that compelling statement, and Mr. Anderson, you're right, we have invaded, however, we have been nothing but peaceful...even after the current President's Head Chef, assassinated the Dotslokian King, also known as, my husband luckily he has made a full recovery, as we are able to come back to life, yet the point is, he was killed, and we did not retaliate. How does that make Humans look to Dotslokians?" I asked. 

"Mr. Anderson?" Asked Mr. Nandrews. 

"No comment." Said Mr. Anderson. 

"Mr. Briar?" Asked Mr. Nandrews.  

"You have a point, Mrs. Dotslotta." Commented Mr. Briar...he continues. "I don't know if that is true, however that is a wild statement, yet I do remember seeing the funeral talked about on the News. Regardless, I am sorry for your loss...but you said "he made a full recovery? What does that mean? Is he dead, alive?" Asked Mr. Briar. 

"In the Dotslokian culture, most are able to be revived after a death...not every time, but each revival gets harder and harder for the soul to find its way back to the body. We were lucky with King Caelum, for he was able to be revived, but this kind of hate, is exactly the opposite idea that Dotslokians stand for...even with this betrayal, we chose to stay peaceful." I said calmly.  

"I think this is a good stopping point." Said Mr. Nandrews. 

I shook hands with my fellow candidates, and we went our separate ways. Within the weeks until the vote, I continued to campaign, and won over  5 out of 7 continents. The Presidential Vote was coming ahead strong... and soon would be Dotslokians, rising point, or falling point. If I'm able to become president, my whole race will be accepted into Earth, and Peace will fall upon All in the lands and seas. 

The Vote. 

The world votes upon ballades, and soon the vote is in. 

It's time for the vote announcement. 

Mr. Nandrews, stands in front of a podium, in an auditorium, full of representatives 2 from each continent, plus current The President...    

" We are gathered here today to announce our new President of Earth. In last place for the race, Mr. Gavin A. Anderson." "...and in a close call for second place Mrrrrrrrrrrr. John O. Brair." "...and now, our new President of The Earth, Mrs. Elaine M. Dotslotta." Announced Mr. Nanderson... he continues. "Congratulations Mrs. Dotslotta."  

The current president handed over the keys to the White House, to me, but as he did, he states one thing. "It wasn't the head chef that poisoned your king. Kai came to me. He told me about your kinds allergy to fish. He payed me to order the chef to poison King Caelum's food." He whispered into my ear as his hand drops the keys into mine. 

I was stunned. Was what he said true? Or was this a ruse to distract me from my win? Did Kai  try to kill my husband Caelum, the King? Was he capable of that? Why would the former president say that? 

Next thing I did, after accepting my presidential seat, was ask Kai if the rumor was true. 

"Kai there you are, I was looking for you." I find him back stage of the Election, he's munching on a granola cookie. 

"Here I am. What's up?" He asked with a muffled voice due to the cookie in his mouth. 

"So the former President told me something interesting." I said wryly. 

"Oh yeah? What did he say? Any confidential presidential information?" He asked suspiciously. 

"He hinted towards you helping in the assassination of Caelum." I replied. 

He was stunned. "What an accusation." He muttered. 

"Well is it true?" I demanded. 

"Is it true?" He rolled his eyes. "Of course it's not. 

Elaine was voted to be President of The United States of America, and served two full terms; she remains Queen of Dotslokians too, all while she is a successful published author of three book series'. She went on to hold Three Titles of Nobel Prize In Literature, and began teaching young humans, and Dotslokians the power of words and the power of peace.

Elaine continues to try and solve the murder of her Husband.  

The Dotslokians and Humans live around each other, peacefully and happily ever after.
