The Death of Winter Spirits

The Orders

Part 1

73-75 years after Lucia's Birth

Lucia had awoken early since the winter started sooner this year, why she didn't know, but it didn't sit well with the other spirits

Lucia had hibernated together with another Winter Spirit that year, they had meet years before and decided to stick together as friends; they had begun hibernating up north in Canada, where Snow was beginning to fall this season.

They hadn't seen it coming, both had been flying further north, having respected that it was still autumn and they wanted their area to at least still have some chance of enjoying the coloring leaves

But this year everything would change the Winter Spirits, as they knew each other forever.

LINEBREAK

Eira had just been showing some moves to Lucia, before the younger Spirit would mimic only to fail, falling down on her butt, however the laugh they shared was filled with heart.

Lucia saw them first, as they came tilting her head, as she tried to make out who their visitors were, but she never got to ask Eira, it was too late.

"no!" Lucia cried, as Flaming Arrows inserted themselves in Eira's Back, sending her to the ground in some pain, but, being the elder Winter Spirit, Eira could handle the warmth even as the cold both gave off put the flames out, Eira turned her head, looking back at the small group behind them.

"Winter Spirits, this is still Falls month, that's why you must be killed on site for this betrayal" one of the Spirits said. Eira looked at Lucia who was shocked, killed on site? But they had orders, permission; this even came from Mother Nature.

"Lucia, find Father Winter" Eira said, Shielding the other spirit, Lucia looked up at her in confusion, "Father Winter resides at the Winter Palace in the Northern Hemisphere, follow the Wind... the Wind will show you the way"

As if on cue the Wind came in tucking at Lucia, pulling her away from Eira, who weakly turned to the gathering of Spirits, "We have permission, who has ordered you?" Eira asked still concerned about, Lucia who still had to leave wanting to learn why.

"King Fall and Queen Summer," one of the Spirits said, Lucia got up running, and she jumped into the wind after learning that one thing. She still looked backwards to see, what was going on, even if she couldn't hear them.

The Bows was readied, they didn't mind Lucia, they would catch up to her, "you will die for this betrayal" the arrows were fired each sitting in Eira's body. Lucia was horrified, she wanted to scream, but Eira's words came back to her and she flew off, "Follow her and kill her, before she reaches the Winter Palace, Father Winter mustn't know!"

Eira looked after Lucia, "survive young spirit… bring the winter forth…" Eira's eyes went dull to the world, but the wind did hear them and made sure to protect Lucia, if it could.

LINEBREAK

It was a long and hard trip; Lucia had flown fast, thanks to the Wind, which had also thrown her pursuers of her scent. She finally had the Winter Palace in vision, when Arrows flew past her; she looked over her shoulder, spotting her pursuers fright now entering her system, as she flew faster.

"Father Winter!" she cried loudly "Please Help! ARGH" an arrow placed itself in her right shoulder, she felt her grip on her staff lessen without it, and she lost the command over the wind, sending her crashing. She landed near the barrier surrounding the palace, she reached a hand out touching it hoping, but nothing seemed to happen.

"Seems like your luck is up, Winter Spirit" a Summer Spirit said, walking forward with an armed Crossbow, "you will die here and now."

"STOP IT!" a voice cried, the Summer Spirit was hit by a snowstorm, which sent it back. An elderly man landed in front of Lucia Protectively, behind him two other Spirits reached Lucia, gently turning her over, "what is going on here?"

The group of Spirits said nothing, "Lucia," Father Winter then said, she weakly looked at him, he had one eye on her and the other on the group in front of him.

"they killed Eira… saying we were traitors for starting winter sooner, than it should be. We told them, we had orders permission, but they came at us anyhow"

Father winters eyes took a horrified look on them, before he turned towards the group in front of him, "you killed one of my children?!" he roared, the Spirits in front of him looked fearful, it appeared they hadn't counted on standing in front of the King of Winter himself. He reached down taking Lucia's staff in his hands, he weighted it for a second before pointing it at the group, "This will be for Eira and Lucia" he said, his winter powers searing through the staff making Icicles instantly, not even Lucia had that kind of power and that showed that with the Head of the Season came the full powers of winter.

His face was expressionless, as he turned seeing the savants help the wounded Lucia up and into the Winter Palace, where she would get questioned properly.

Lucia was brought to the Winter Palaces infirmary, where the arrow was removed and wound treated. Father Winter visited once to get the story once more and in every detail. He frowned upon hearing, what was happening to his children or rather those under his care.

"I must call them all together and get them here" he said, looking at Lucia, who had tears coming down her face, "King Fall and Queen Summer have gone too far this time, we were all told, it would be an early winter. I must get help from the Guardians on this one"

Lucia wanted to ask, who the Guardians were, but Father Winter was gone, before she could ask. Lucia meanwhile was left to cry alone over the loss of her friend; it wasn't many hours later that some servants to Father Winter came in with more injured spirits.
