Jack had just become a new guardian not hours ago, and the party that North had put on for him was beyond fantastic. But the best part was the reveal of his new guardian home. North explained to him that it was tradition for each guardian to receive their own place to work as well as relax. At the party Jack was given a snow globe by North that contained a portal to his new palace. He was allowed to smash the globe and explore by himself what he would call home. North had really outdone himself this time, an entire castle created out of intricately carved ice, carefully hidden within the giant mountains in the south pole. Jack sensed that it finally was a place for North to work on his ice carving masterpiece without the fear of Yeti accidentally smashing it.
That was where Jack was now, he was currently busy in his own globe room staring at the lights that were slowly reappearing all over the world. Jack felt a little uneasy to be in a great palace all alone and so far away from his hometown of Burgess. North had told Jack upon giving him his palace that because children could now see him he would need a place to go where they couldn't. But he also had supplied him with a great amount of globes to transport him to his hometown and ones to transport him back whenever he wanted.
It was nighttime in burgess at the moment and Jack supposed that it couldn't hurt to pop in and see the town, Sandy would have come hours ago and the minifaries of Tooth would have finished their rounds by now. Jack grabbed a snow globe from the pile and threw it against a wall, it shattered and revealed a glowing blue portal, he jumped through and ended up by a very familiar lake.
