North's Helper: Frost and Darkness
The silhouette of a body could be seen as it appeared in the lake late at night. It drifted into a ray of light that refracted through water from the moon. The moonlight intensified quickly as the ice on lake began to crack. Instantly the trees around the area began to get covered with snow. The ice in the pond continued to crack slowly until a hole splintered open. A boy drifted out of the water and onto the ice as the whole beneath him closed up. The boy looked no older than 18. He was thin, pale white, icy blue eyes and his hair was snowy. The boy looked around confused, then turns toward the moonlight as it dimmed a bit. He walked across the ice as if it would crack beneath his feet. He stubbed his toe on something and looked down to see a wooden staff. Curiosity etched into his face as he picked it up. Almost immediately the staff began to glow a cold blue in his hands. Frightened he dropped the base of the staff onto the ground quickly. Frost shoot out in front and spreads across the ice. The boy now intrigued touched a few trees with the staff, which allowed the trunks to frost. He began swinging the staff again, more confident this time than the last, and ran across the frozen pond. He made another swing and a gust of wind swirled around his feet before it lifted him into the air. A yell escaped his lips as he looks down and falls back down into the trees. He pulls himself up by a branch and looks out to see a small town off in the distance.
A collection of simple wooden houses with thatched roofs could be seen. The white haired boy flew in and looked around as he made his way through the town.
"Hello. Hello. Good evening, ma'am." The boy stopped a woman but she walked by as if he did not exist. He caught a small boy run towards his way.
"Oh, ah, excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" He asked politely as he crouched down. The little boy ran right through his body as if he was a ghost. The ghost like boy staggered back in shock.
"Hello! Hello!" He yelled desperately. Snow began falling due to his emotions. The towns people continued to pass through emotional boy, unaware of his presence. Shaken by this fact the boy turns around and retreats into the forest.
"My name is Jack Frost" Jack began, "How do I know that? The moon told me so. But that was all he ever told me. And that was a long, long time ago."
A giant thud caused the dark haired girl to drop the tray of sweets onto the floor. She let out a groan and began sweeping them up. Elves came running from left and right to eat them. The girl began swatting them away with her hand as the sound of a saw being used echoed in the room next door.
"North." She grumbled before piling the rest of the cookies onto the tray. She fixed her elf hat before resuming her walk to the door.
"Hope old Saint Nick enjoys floor flavored." She snickered before bursting through the door. North turned to face a pair of hazel eyes staring back at them along with a mischievous smile.
"Nell!" He rumbled and dropped what he was doing to go hug. The girl, known as Nell swept under his arms and maneuvered the tray so that the pastries didn't fall again.
"Morning dad!" She greeted cheerfully. He laughed and took a treat. He bit into and let out a blissful sigh.
"Delicious as always." He patted her back before returning to what he was doing. Nell put down the tray and followed after him. North looked at her through the corner of his eyes. She had grown much since that faithful day. Now standing at 5'7, Nell still wore an elf hat, but instead of the uniform she wore her pajamas. Her untidy black hair was pulled into a French braid that slung on her left shoulder. Her two stubborn side bangs framed her face as always. North looked back down from observing her and back to his work.
He pulled away from the ice block he was working on and swiveled his chair to the other side of the desk that Nell sat on. She swung her feet as she hummed along with him. He rummages through tools before his eyes finally landed on a tiny hammer.
"Whatcha making?" Curiosity was laced in the girl's voice.
"Watch and see my child!" He answered before setting to work. He began singing a tone as he hammered onto the ice carefully and tactically. Each hit was precise and practiced.
"This better not be ano-" Nell's snarky comment was cut off by the sound of a train made by North. He set the now newly made ice toy train on the ice track. They watched it run around the tracks before it lifted into the air. Nell watched in amazement as it zoomed around her. Her breath had hitch into her throat. It was a beautiful sight indeed. It was making a u-turn from the door when it burst open and it broke into pieces.
"Ach!"
A yeti cried out covering his mouth in shame. He looked up terrified at both humans. North cried out devastated at another toy being destroyed. The yeti, equally emotional, let out a whimper and hung his head in shame at the destruction he caused. Nell rolled her eyes at the childish manners her father figure could have with his toys. North looked down at the broken toy before taking a moment to collect himself.
"How many times have I told you to knock?" He scolded the yeti. The yeti began yelling back apologizes before explaining the random burst in. It had been many years and Nell still didn't understand them. North let out an annoyed groan before his face became serious after the yeti stopped talking.
"What...? The Globe?" He asked concerned. He bolted out of the seats, grabbed a sword from its sheathand ran into the factory. Nell's face turned into confusion as she got and raced after her father. He was pointing his sword at the elves to move as he made his way towards the giant globes. The tiny bells on the heads of panicking elves part echoed through the room.
"Shoo with your pointy heads. Why are you always under boot?" He questioned annoyed.
"Oi!" Nell yelled in offensive.
"It looks good on you dear!" He complimented. Nell rolled her eyes at the kiss up. North pushed through two yetis before he finally made it and looked the lights in Africa flicker on. His face grew with fright as more lights went out. Nell made it in time to see the lights in another continent go off. A tiny gasp escape her.
"But how?" Nell whispered as North grew more concerned. The lights began flickering everywhere around the world. Nell watched each light with disbelief.
"Dad wh-" she was cut off by North yelling out orders to the yeti.
"Have you checked the axis? Is rotation balanced?" He questioned urgently. The yetis shrugged their shoulders before speaking. A gush of wind whipped into the factory out of nowhere. The lights began to dim and North reached out for Nell. She let out a surprised yelp as he pulled her into him. They stared in fear and outrage as a blanket of black sand swirled over the remaining lights on the globe. It shrouded the entire planet in darkness.
"No..." North whispered. He couldn't be back... It wasn't possible. The elves scurried into panic once agin as the sand whooshed off the globe and onto the ceiling as the remains burst into puffs of smoke and dissipates into the air. North covered Nell into him and it was clear to see, they turned just in time to catch a huge shadow. It flashed across the floors and curving walls of the factory before disappearing. It left nothing but a distant echo of dark laughter. Nell disentangled herself from the big man before covering her mouth as she stared at the remaining darkness.
"Is it... Is it..." She feared quietly.
"Dingle!" North bellowed as a group of elves step forward gleefully pointing to themselves. North hit himself in the face as the excited elves's faces quickly turned to confusion.
"Bloody elves.." He grumbled.
"Make preparations! We are going to have company." He ordered. His face had turned grim as he said those words. He turned to his daughter as she continued to stare at the globe as if it would be wrapped in darkness again.
"Nell." He commanded. Nell took a moment to collect herself and breath before slapping an unemotional face. She looked at her father and stood tall.
"Alert the others, then get dressed into your fighting gear. He's back." Nell nodded firmly and walked over to the emergency lever. She twisted it before slamming down on. The Globe pulsed with energy as it light up and zoomed upwards with the axis shaft facing the roof. In the distance the northern light energy began radiating.
