It had all seemed quite silly at the time, but it wasn’t.
They’d been going out together regularly for several weeks, before it happened. They were strolling through the local park one weekend, just spending time together, when the dog ran towards them. It didn’t look right. It was growling and slobbering. It stopped in front of them looking decidedly vicious. Then, all of a sudden, it turned and slouched off, whimpering. She had seen him make the strange hand gesture before. This time, he had definitely made it toward the animal, and as a result, had questioned him about it. He decided that he was comfortable telling her the truth about the matter and chose a bench, where they could sit and talk. It was then that he explained that his grandfather had been a Great Wizard and that he had headed a secret society.
She said, “I’ve seen you do that before. You seem to contort your fingers in a strange fashion, then raise your arm up at your side.”
“You’ve noticed.”
“I have.”
He nodded. “It’s all about kinesics really. That’s the business of body movements and gestures. Commonly used as a means of communication, but for my grandfather and his followers, a lot more than that, of course.”
“So,” she said, “he showed you how to do that, your grandfather?”
He nodded again. “Yes. As a young lad, this was the only thing he ever taught me.”
“Oh! Really? Why was that, do you think?”
“I don’t know.”
That was how it began.
They eventually married, had jobs, had a family, and lived a perfectly trouble-free life.
Over the decades, both used the hand sign, which they kept very much to themselves, with reliable results. All calamities were warded off. No near-death experiences, no traffic accidents, dog bites or bee stings. Not even the occasional mosquito bite.
It was in these later years that they fell to discussing it, yet again.
Their conversation ended with him telling her that the old man had said, “It’s all very well being in the hands of a few, but it would be a completely different matter if it became commonly known.”
“What do you suppose he meant by that?” she asked.
He shook his head. “You know, I have absolutely no idea!”
