I just couldn't put my finger on it. He looked the same, sounded the same, and even acted the same, but his eyes were different. I saw Pitch Black before, and it all started like any other day…
Elsa, "I can't believe they are going to make you a summer guardian! I'll never see you ever again." "Hey don't say that, there is the seasonal get together." "But that only happens once every year." "I know, every year on January the 1st, Mother Nature has the seasonal get together for all the seasonal spirits and guardians to gather and talk about how that year went." "Almost reminds me of one of the council meetings I used to attend to."
"Almost, but in this council meeting we get to sit down and talk to Mother Nature and the great seasonal guardians. Can you believe that they are all her children? Because when I found that out I was shocked." "Well I was a bit shocked to, but she did need helpers to help bring in the seasons." "But they are quadruplets, that's four kids at once, and they don't even look the same!" "Not all twins or triplets look the same, you now that."
"Yeah but they don't even have anything in common. The eldest Aithnea, has red hair, amber eyes, controls fire, and represents summer. The second oldest, Ebony, has brown hair, brown eyes, controls wind, and represents autumn. The third oldest, Oceana, has black hair, blue eyes, controls water, and represents winter. And the youngest, Terra, has blond hair, green eyes, controls earth, and represents spring."
"So you see they have nothing in common." "Well they all represent a season, isn't that a common trait?" "Hmmm… you make a good point, hey look at the sky!" "It's the northern lights! We have to go to the North Pole right now!" "Hold on I got this." I pulled a small marble from the bag on my belt. "What is that?" "Mini snow globes or M.S.G. for short. I made then with North's help."
"Why would you need them? We can both fly!" "For emergencies; and we are a long way from the north pole." "Wow way to think ahead." "I say, North's workshop." I threw the M.S.G. on the ground and a portal opened in front of us. We quickly jumped through and arrived at North's workshop.
"What's the problem North?" "We are transporting Pitch to his new holding cell and we need more help." When I looked over at Pitch I felt a shiver go down my spine, and then he looked at me with those eyes of his. Not many people knows this, especially my sister, but I have the ability to read people. It comes from lots and lots of practice trying to read one of the most stoic faces in the world, my new friend Neviah.
She has the ability to see into the future, and told me of the previse two twin oracles. "There were twin oracles who ruled before me, and it didn't work out as they hoped." "Why was that?" "Because each of the twin oracles could only see half of the future. The happy joyful one could only see the bad side, while the depressed sad one could only see the good side."
"But that makes no sense." "Not when you really think about it. The oracle that saw the good futures became more depressed because nothing ever made her happy after years of always seeing happy moments. And the oracle that saw the bad futures became more joyful because nothing ever made her sad after years of always seeing sad moments."
"When I was made they decided to make me see both futures the good and the bad, so I became neutral because nothing could ever make me happy or sad after years of seeing both good and bad futures." After centuries of being with her I began to be able to read her eyes, the eyes are windows to the soul after all, and I could see a hint of happiness or sadness when she got a vision.
So when I looked into Pitch's eyes I could see anger, jealously, pure hatred, and a bit of sadness, but most of all I could see the evil in his eyes. But when I looked into the eyes of the Pitch in the mirror I saw only anger, a bit of hatred, and evil. There was no jealously, or pure hated, just some hatred. As we walked away from the mirror I checked back to see how far away we were.
Once we got far enough away I pulled Elsa into the nearest door way. "Are you sure that's Pitch? Something just doesn't seem right about him." "What do you mean?" I told her of my ability and waited for her answer. "I'm sure you were just seeing things, I mean there is only one Pitch Black." I wasn't so sure but I didn't want to argue with her any farther.
"Now come there are some people I want you to meet." We walked through the entrance of the ice kingdom to what looked like a huge living room, with different looking spirits everywhere. "Anna, I would like you to meet the other holiday spirits, they are also here for the wedding." A Chinese woman holding an American baby walked up to us. "Hello, I'm May the Chinese New Year spirit, and this is March the regular New Year's spirit." "Oh hello little one." "Hey I'm not that little!"
"He just spoke, and in a child's voice too!" "Yeah it was a bit weird for me to. Oh here's the valentine's spirit." He looked like a handsome angel. "Very pleased to meet a new guardian. My name is Valentine or cupid if you like." I saw a red bow with the string crossing over his body diagonally, and a quiver filled with pink arrows. He was also wearing a white shirt, pants, and shoes, and had huge bird like wings.
He kissed my hand then someone grabbed him by the ear and pulled him to her. She looked like she was wearing a Halloween witch costume. Her long spiky black hair went down to her shoes, and her orange eyes were filled with anger. She had black lipstick, a black witch's hat with an orange buckle; she also had black short spiky gloves on, a blackish orange short spiky dress, long black cobwebbed designed pantyhose on her legs, and wearing orange high heels with black bats on the front.
"Why did you kiss her hand Valentine?" She said in a spooky sounding voice. "Pumpkin, I was just greeting her." "Did you forget you are already married, you two timing jerk!" "But Pumpkin…" "Don't Pumpkin me, you promised you would stop flirting with girls!" "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings." "Oh no, it's not your fault. My name is Pumpkin Spice; you can call me Spice if you like." "You're the spirit of Halloween, aren't you?"
"The outfit gave it away didn't it?" "Yeah, it kind of did." "Now as for you, don't forget that I'm your wife, and that you did promise me!" "Wait you got married to Cupid?!" "He actually asked me to marry him; here is the picture of our wedding together." She looked totally different, her hair was in a bun, and she was wearing a long whitish orange gown. Cupid was wearing a black tuxedo, with a pink tie, and his hair looked nice to.
"What is in that bouquet you're holding?" "Cupid arrow orchids. He gave them to me as a sign of his love for me." "Look Pumpkin, you know I love you and no one else." "Then stop kissing every girl's hand. You said you wouldn't do that." "I can't help it; you know it's a habit." "I'm not listening to you anymore." She walked away. "What Pumpkin, can't we talk about this?"
It was funny watching him chase her around, and then he grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a kiss. "My little spice of life, please forgive me?" "Oh I can't stay mad at you forever." She kissed him back then tapped him, "But don't do that ever again." "Yes my little Pumpkin." "See yah Elsa, we are going to spend some quality time together." "I hope that means what I think that means." "Let's just say, Elsa might need to re-freeze our room after we are done."
