This is just the Prologue
Jack was just casually wondering the halls of Santa's workshop. It was a normal day. The yetis were working hard and the elves were running around causing trouble and begging for food. Nothing particularly interesting happened until around three o'clock. "Help! Help!" Psyche, the controller of consciousness who was also cupid's wife yelled as she burst into the workshop. Gaping for breath, her eyes found Jack and she hurried over, "Jack, Jack!" She said in between breaths. "Have you any idea where North is? I have to speak with him! Something terrible has happened!" Jack looked at the desperate woman and was tempted to ask her to tell him what happened so he could sort it out, but she looked really worried, so he would probably need help, he decided it was better to just find North.
"Uh, he's i-" Jack was interrupted by North's booming voice echoing through the workshop, he looked behind him, and found North standing outside his office,
"What is wrong, Psyche? What has happened?" He hurried over as fast as his stubby legs could carry him, which wasn't very fast.
"North! It's cupid! I think the Golzoin attacked him! Please help! He's at our house!" The desperate woman frantically yelled as North finally got to the two.
"Golzoin! Oh no! Jack, go fetch me one of my globes! I shall contact the other Guardians! Hurry!" Jack bolted in the direction of North's office. This was serious. He'd heard about the Golzoin before. It was similar to a ghost when its powers were concerned. It had the ability to basically take over one's body and mind. Jack finally reached North's office and he quickly made his way over to the shelf were North kept his Snow Globes, Jack grabbed one and sprinted off back to the group. He didn't think it was possible but by the time he got back the other guardians had already arrived. How could they get here so fast? Jack shook his head, pondering the answers to that question was something that Jack didn't have time for. Without words he closed the distance between him and North and handed him the globe. He grabbed it and smashed it against the ground. Together we all walked in and in a flash we were at Cupid's and Psyche's house.
"Hurry! He's this way!" Psyche yelled as she ran through the doors. The large group followed her through the house into the living room. And there he was. Cupid, or rather the Golzoin, was lying in a heap on the floor. "I nocked him out when I realized what was wrong. He'll wake up soon. How do we get it out?" Psyche asked as she walked over to Cupids body and studied him. Tooth piped up,
"There is this special herb that will draw him out." She fluttered up to Psych. Bunny spoke then too,
"Yeah, Trilioth, I believe."
"That's it!" Tooth continued. "We lay it on his body for two minuets and it will draw the Golzoin out. It is rare though. No one has needed it in over 100 years. The Golzoin was thought to have been dead."
"It's rare, but it doesn't mean unheard off. I have some back at the Warren."
"Really!" Tooth exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah. I keep a whole bunch of rare herbs. Never really believed he was gone so I decided some Trilioth might be a handy thing to have around." Bunny said, casually.
"Well, that's fantastic news!" Tooth squealed and did a back flip. "All we have to do, is put cupid in an open area, hide so he doesn't try to attack one of us, and wait for the herb to take effect! It takes about 1 minuet after the Golzoin has left his body for cupid to wake up. And don't worry about it attacking him again; once you have been attacked you become temporarily immune to the Golzoin. If he tries to get into your body he'll die. So he'll run away for sure."
"Sounds good to me!" Exclaimed Psyche,
"Great! I'll go get it! We'll meet in the Meadows we usually do. Tooth will show you where, Psyche." And with that Bunny tapped his foot on the floor twice and a missive hole appeared. He jumped in and he and the hole was gone.
"Well then." Tooth said, "Let's all shown Psyche where the meadows are." And all the Guardians chose their favorite form of transportation and eventually got to the Meadows.
AT THE MEADOWS
Bunny hopped over to Cupid's body and gently laid the Trilioth leaf on his chest. He stood back and studied Cupid for a second more, then walked back to the bushes where the Guardians and Psyche were hiding. "All done." He whispered as found a spot and peered through the bushes. 1 minuet passed and there were no signs of the Golzoin.
"Don't worry." Tooth said when she saw the worried expressions plastered on everyone's faces. "Any second now." Just as she said that, a red slime started forming on Cupid's body. Psyche drew in a sharp breath. Within seconds the Golzoin had appeared and was frantically scanning his surroundings. He was looking for a body to take over. When his eyes found the bushes everyone stopped breathing. His eyes lingered on the bushes for a moment and everyone thought they had been found, but he turned around and started floating in the other direction. There was a loud gush as everyone started to breath again. We waited for half a minuet more until walking out into the field to where Cupid lay. Jack saw the worried expression on Psyche's face and he knew that she was worried he wouldn't wake up,
"Psyche, don't worry. The Golzoin can't kill people. He'll wake up real soon." Jack walked closer to Cupid's body and stared down at him. Cupid's eyes started to flutter open and his fingers started to move. Psyche knelt down next to him and started saying,
"Cupid? Cupid wake up." His eyes flew open and he quickly sat up gaping for breath. He looked around him and when he saw Psyche he quickly hugged her. He was breathing deeply. He pulled away from Psyche and stood up.
"Thank you." He said to everyone. "I didn't know anyone here had any Trilioth." Bunny hopped forward,
"Yeah, you've got me to thank for that." Cupid walked over to Bunny and put and small hand on his shoulder,
"Thank you, my friend." North spoke next,
"Well." He said with his thick Russian accent, "We shouldn't stay here for long, the Golzoin will probably be coming back." He tossed a Snow Globe on the ground and a portal to the workshop opened up. North was last to the Meadows because he went back to the Workshop to get a Snow Globe. Without words we all walked in, and of course came out on the other side at North's workshop. North said to one of the Yeti's walking past, "You! Get us some cookies and hot chocolate! We need to celebrate our small but mighty victory!" And with that the yeti's started running around bring plates of cookies and cups of hot chocolate and putting them on the table that had ben set up in the Globe Room, elves started building towers to try to snag some cookies, all efforts being futile. Once everyone had settled down Jack walked over to North and said,
"You know this isn't the end of the Golzoin, right? He'll come back." North replied with,
"I had the idea that we should think about that later and just enjoy our small victory, don't you?" Jack nodded his head and walked away. Two hours later the 'little' victory party hadn't ended and everyone was dancing to music or chatting. Then suddenly, the moon shone on the big G in the center of the room and everyone ran to it. Manny had chosen a new Guardian. Probably to help us defeat the Golzoin. The Guardians, Psyche, Cupid, the yeti's and the elves had gathered around the G, staring at the new Guardian...
