Wickzy here. So this is my first Jane and the Dragon fanfiction. This chapter is a little short because I just wanted a little introduction like chapter. It is also a slight crossover with The Devil's Carnival but I didn't mark it as a crossover because I don't think of it like one. So read it love it review it.
It was almost Christmas. The green trees had lost all their leaves. Everything covered in a blanket of snow. Christmas in Kippernium was always a joyful time in kingdom.
"Ah what a wonderful season it truly is," Pepper said as she walked out of her kitchen to serve the soup for the midday meal.
"Yeah and best part we don't have to deal with Gunther," Jane said with glee as she sipped her soup.
"Doesn't he go do a family thing or something?" Smithy asked.
The group chatted and laughed about all the peace there would be do to the absence of Gunther.
"Oh no need to worry about missing me," they all heard the sarcastic remark of Gunther
"Aren't you supposed to be in Paris or somewhere with your family?" Jester said obviously annoyed.
"We always go to one person's kingdom every year and this year Kippernium was chosen," Gunther shot back.
"So we have to deal with more of you. Splendid," Jane said disgust in her voice.
"Stop being such a hypocrite my mom isn't that bad."
"I thought your mother died." Pepper said surprised.
"No, my dad just calls her mental and she hates him so yeah I don't get to see her much. Why would you think she was dead?"
"Well you can't blame her she just disappeared so the rumor spread she died," Jester said.
"In about a week you will see she is not dead along with my other siblings," Gunther said then headed off toward the knights quarters to inform that he wouldn't be leavening and could continue his studies.
"He has a lady friend. His mother is alive. He also has siblings. Is it just me or do we know nothing about Gunther?" Rake asked.
"Agreed," the other's said.
They continued to eat their midday meal. Thinking about the fact of having more people related to Gunther around. They really did need to get to know him. The little information they got from the short exchange surprised them. They mostly know him from the rumors in town.
Once they all finished their meal they went on with the rest of their duties. And soon enough the week came when they'd arrive.
