Thowra: Spirit of Wind

It was a cool night in Burgess as Jamie tinkered with some kind of music box. When he finished he fished out the crystal he found in the pond and inserted it. He turned it a couple times before the top opened and music started.

*On the wind~*

*Cross the sea~*

*Hear this song and remember~*

*Soon you'll be home with me~*

*Once upon a December~*

The music stopped as he finished singing and closed itself. He smiled and put it and the crystal in his pocket and went outside for a walk. 'Hope Jack likes it.' He thought as he remembered his crush.

It was a slow development but he had fallen for the winter spirit, the music box was the first thing he decided to make to show Jack his feelings. As he neared the pond he noticed there were trees covering it from view.

'Guess the pond is covered by a forest now.' He thought as he went to the pond. It was still frozen but he needed to get to the center to give the music box and crystal to him.

Jack told him that if he wanted to see him, he had to go to the middle of the pond when it's frozen or throw a stone at it. When he got to it, it was frozen but he didn't know if it was strong enough so he took slow steps to the center.

It cracked when he got near the center and decided throwing a rock is better, he was gonna turn around when he heard a scream. There was a boy, no older than six, on the ice that was cracking under him.

"Don't move!" Jamie said to him before he thought of how to save him. He realized he was still wearing his scarf, took it off, and threw one end to him. The boy grabbed it and started to calm down.

"I'll fling you to safety okay?" Jamie asked and got a frantic nod in return. One... The boy was calmed down. Two... They both hoped this would work. Three! Jamie flung him to the bank but unaware of the breaking ice.

When he was aware it was already breaking apart. 'I'm sorry Jack.' Was his last thought before he plunged underwater. The last thing he heard was "Kid!" before the water swallowed him.


I heard the song many times and thought of a spirit named Thowra, so I decided to make one by making a certain boy become a spirit. FYI, Jamie is fifteen.
