Chapter 10: A new friend to Bear with, and A Light from within, that the world must see.
The next morning Rudolph, Cobalt, and Slyly woke up to a huge rumble, after, Slyly woke up earlier, to return Rudolph's, Teddy Bear. And, the three of them woke up, and got out before the avalanche, sealed up the entrance.
" Nuts, our cave is blocked up!" Slyly complained. " We're homeless."
" It could be worse, Slyly." Rudolph said.
" Oh really, how's that?" The Fox asked.
" Well, we could have been trapped inside with no way out." Cobalt pointed out. " Moving all that, even with Magic, I'm no where near that powerful, I'm a novice compared to the late, Merlin."
" Alright, we'll find a new even, better cave." Slyly stated, a while later they came across, one that had furniture, and everything suggesting, that the cave already, had an occupant, Who seemed to have stepped out. " See what did I tell ya' can I find one, or can I find one?"
" Is that a trick question, or a rhetorical question?" Cobalt asked, sarcastically.
" I don't know, Slyly." Rudolph said unsuredly. " I think someone lives here."
" I'm gonna have to side with My Cousin, on that one, Slyly." Cobalt agreed, " I mean, uninhabited caves, don't come as fully prepared as this." That's when they heard, a growl, and standing in the door, was a Huge, Polar Bear, angry at the concept of having intruders, in his home.
" Alright, Genius, how do we get out of this one?" Cobalt asked the fox.
" Just do as I do, and follow my lead." Slyly said, turning back to the bear, as Cobalt rolled his eyes. " Excuse me, Sir uh we're with the Arctic Safety, and Inspection Company." He said, as the Bear went from, angry, to confused. " Now as you are aware, recent shifts in the ice, have made caves uninhabitable. So let us inspect." He finished as he did, he winked, at the boys to which, Rudolph winked back, where as Cobalt rolled his eyes again. " Uh-oh." The Fox said, after whistling. To which the boys did exactly the same thing, albeit with sarcasm on Cobalt's part. " This Cave, could collapse, at any moment, you gotta vacate immediately." The Bear, was freaked and instantly, packed his bags, and bolted for the exit. " Sucker." Slyly chuckled.
" Gee Sly, that wasn't very nice." Rudolph pointed.
" Yeah, seriously that had to be the worst way to get shelter yet." Cobalt stated, " I wouldn't be surprised if he came back after realizing, you were pulling his leg, I mean seriously, that was too cheesy, it wouldn't
" He, It's survival of the fittest." Slyly said, " It was either him or, us." He finished as he jumped onto the Polar Bear-sized Armchair.
" Well, that sounds like useful, advice." Cobalt said in a calm, sarcastic manner. " Maybe you could tell that to him, I'm sure he would understand." He finished, pointing to the Bear who had just returned, looking infuriated.
" YOU TRICKED ME!" He shouted, Slyly freaked out, and took off, out of the cave, like a shot. Leaving Rudolph, and Cobalt alone with only the angry bear.
" Mr. Polar bear, we understand that you're angry, and you have every right to be." Cobalt explained. " But please try to understand, my cousin, and I never wanted to trick you."
" Yeah, We're sorry we tricked you, it was wrong." Rudolph said, apologetically. " We were cold, with no where to go."
" Well, why didn't you say so." The Bear said calming down. " My name's, Leonard."
" I'm Rudolph, and this is my cousin, Cobalt." Rudolph said, as Cobalt, picked up Leonard's beanie, reached in, and pulled, Slyly out, by the tail.
" And this, goofy, little stinker." Cobalt said. " Is, Slyly."
Pretty soon the four of them were at the dinner table.
Delicious." Slyly complemented. " So, How did you, and Sparks, swing it, Red?"
" Easy." Rudolph answered. " We just told him the truth."
" Truth huh?" The Fox said. " New one on me."
" Gee, why doesn't that surprise me?" Cobalt asked sarcastically, as he rolled his eyes. After dinner, Everyone bedded down for the night. Leonard kept in his bed, Slyly slept on the huge, armchair with, Rudolph's, Teddy bear, while he sucked his own thumb, and Rudolph, and Cobalt slept on the floor, with Rudolph, keeping his cousin, warm, and comfortable, but Rudolph was starting to have nightmares, reliving every torcherous moment of his life.
Other students from his old school, taunting, and teasing him, calling him a reject, Arrow taunting him during the Reindeer Games, and worst of all hearing his father say his nose was an accident. Rudolph woke up, and took a step outside for some fresh air.
" Rudolph?" It was Cobalt, with a concerned look on his face. " Are you alright?"
" I had that dream again." Rudolph answered, in an upset manner. " The day, Arrow, first made fun of my nose, at school, and everyone else." Rudolph said, sadly. " But, it got worse, I saw Arrow taunting me at the Reindeer Games, and Pop saying My Nose, was an accident." Rudolph sobbed.
" Rudolph, I know it hurts." Cobalt said sympathetically, as he hugged, his cousin, " Let me show you, mine." Cobalt, placed his hand upon, Rudolph's forehead, and focused. " Wohs, Hplodur, ym, maerd!" He incanted.
Rudolph saw images flash before his eyes. A seven year old, Cobalt, was walking down the street, minding his own business, when a bunch of kids came up to him.
" Hey, it's The Freak!" One of the boys shouted, as he, and threw rocks at him, continuing to call him a freak. " Why you, such a freak, Freak?" He asked, mean-spiritedly.
" Cut it out, Guys." Cobalt complained. " I wasn't bothering you." He whined. " And stop calling me a freak."
" You just existing, bothers us, Freak." One of them said.
" What's wrong with calling a freak, a freak, Freak!" Another said. Soon even adults were, throwing rocks, at him, as they chased him into the forest, the only place he went that they never, went.
Cobalt, then sat on the ground crying, as plants sprouted up, and rocks levitated, wind seemed to pick up, and storm clouds gathered, with thunder, and lightning.
Then a Red light shone through the clouds. And seemed to chase away, every sad feeling Cobalt had. It made him happy, and within the light was a reindeer. Who walked up to Cobalt, and nuzzled him affectionately, wiping away his tears, as Cobalt hugged him.
Finally The dream ended, and Rudolph woke up. " That Reindeer." He said to his cousin. " Was that...Me?" Cobalt hugged Rudolph, as a means of saying yes.
" Yes, Rudolph you were one of the best things that happened in my life." Cobalt explained. " Before you there was, Actean, He was the Prince of That Forest, and the closest thing to a father had. Then when Actean, took me to, Burgess, to be safe. I met Jack, and the other kids, all I had were friends and my life got a little brighter, but even my friends had something, I longed for. A family, and when I met you, and learned you we are cousins, it just made my life the brightest it's been." He continued. As they hugged even closer.
That's when they looked up at the Northern Lights, as they danced around them. Then, they manisfest, as the four sprites.
" Hello, Rudolph, and Cobalt." greeted Aurora.
" Have we met before?" Rudolph asked.
" Yeah, because think, I would have remembered you four if we had met." Cobalt added.
" No, but we have been, watching the two of you, and we're great admirers of your wonderful nose, Rudolph, and your amazing gift of spellcasting." Sparkle explained.
" Wonderful?" Rudolph asked.
" Amazing?" Cobalt wondered.
" See, Rudolph everyone has a light that shines within them, but only a lucky few have a light bright enough for the whole world to see." Twinkle picked up. " Everyone has magic inside them that only a select few can truely utilitize to cast spells."
" Now listen closely, Stormella has Zoey, and Iris trapped in her Ice Dungeon." Glitter informed. " And only the two of you can save them."
" How?" The two boys asked.
" By learning to let your most positive feelings fuel your gifts, but only together will your Light, and Magic be strongest when united as one." Aurora explained. " Cobalt, feel the Wonder, you felt when you learned you could do amazing things, The Hope you held onto of your wish for the family that you wanted, The Memories of all the happiness your family, and friends brought you, The Dream of the love you so longed for, and The Fun times you shared with your them." Aurora instructed. As Cobalt, closed his eyes, and reflected on all the Wonder, Hope, Memories, Dreams, and Fun that ever happened in his life. " Now let the love, and friendship in your heart become the strength of your magic, and there will be no limit to what you can accomplish."
" EVOL, DNA PIHSDNEIRF ECROFNIER YM CIGAM, DNA EKAM TI REGNORTS!" Cobalt incanted out loud as he felt all the positive emotion bring his Magic to it's Zenith. " Wow, I...I feel stronger, then I once was, stronger then ever before." He said confidently.
" Now, Rudolph, think of everyone you love, and everyone who loves you." Aurora instructed, the Reindeer. " Let this love be the Light of Your Heart, and let it out as the brightest light, you ever created." She said, as Rudolph thought of, His Parents, Zoey, The Guardians, Cobalt, Iris, his friends in Burgess, and Santoff Clausenn, and his new friends, Slyly, and Leonard. As the Sprites encouraged him.
" Come on, Rudolph." Cobalt encouraged. " If I can make my magic stronger, I know you can Make your light brighter, I believe in you, Rudolph." And Rudolph's nose shone brighter than ever before.
" I did it, COBALT, I DID IT, OH GOSH!" Rudolph shouted happily, as he, and his cousin embraced each other.
" I knew you could, Rudolph!" Cobalt said, Happily as hugged his cousin back, suddenly the Sprites flew off.
" Wait, Come back!" They shouted.
" Come on, Rudolph." Cobalt said. " If we're going to rescue, Iris, and Zoey, we're going to need all the help we can get." He said, as they headed back into the cave. Rudolph went to rouse, Slyly. While Cobalt, did the same for, Leonard.
" This isn't how looks, Red." Slyly said, " Ya' see I sleepwalk-."
" We don't even have time for me to undermine your lame, excuse, Slyly." Cobalt said, after Leonard got out of bed.
" Right now we need both your's, and Leonard's help." Rudolph finished.
