Chapter 11

Snow lost her hearing temporarily due to the strong impact of the shooting star/meteor on Earth, forming a deep crater. When her hearing returned, she decided to check on the shooting star, even though it is on fire. She used the snow to extinguish the said fire. She was shocked on what she saw.

Instead of a rock, it was an ancient space craft she has never seen before in possession of the humans. She liked reading all kinds of books, and has knowledge on each aspect of human and spirit life. She touched it, opening it as her fingers touched the glass door. A shining being walked out.

A boy similar to his dad walked out of the door. Snow saw his white hair and his smiling face. His green eyes bore on cerulean eyes. The shining boy was holding a staff like weapon with a knife on the end, which shone as the moon's light hit its shiny surface.

"Nightlight!" Snow said as she hugged Nightlight, which was startled by the approach. Later on, he then hugged her back in an awkward way, but Snow didn't seem to mind. Snow was really shocked of what she knew today, she personally met Nightlight and MIM seem to care for her. She was assuming, of course! Nightlight had a mission on Earth, and it does not involve her, possibly the Guardians.

Nightlight signed to her. She understood it very well.

"I was sent here to help you. Can you understand me?" she nodded, leaving a quite amused Nightlight.

"Why?" Snow signed back.

"Someone asked MIM to send me for you." Snow was shocked

"Who?"

"I do not know too. What matters is I will keep you safe. Can we be friends?" Nightlight offered his hand.

Snow shook Nightlight's hand. As they started fixing Nightlight's ship, a cold breeze sends shivers down Snow's spine. On the corner of her eye, someone was talking to Nightlight, in a calm tone. The voice sounded familiar.

"Do you know where Snow is? The wind told me she was here a while ago." Jack said as he looked at the spectral boy from head to foot. It looked just like him; the physical age, the white hair, the staff… but Jack didn't care. He will ask the boy later.

"I am here Dad!" Snow said as she appeared from the crater. She was inside the ship, so the wind didn't sense her well.

"Do you know how worried we are Snow? Come on, let us go home." Jack said as carried Snow. Even they weigh the same, Jack was still be able to carry Snow, bridal style.

"Dad, can my friend join us to the Pole?" Jack reluctantly agreed. He was thankful to the boy for comforting Snow but Jack didn't trust this man. He will need to ask who is this spirit, why does he have an odd looking vehicle that obviously crashed, why he was shining, and why did they have a striking resemblance. Why did they?

At the Pole

Everyone was still there. When Jack decided to follow Snow after the loud sound, they were still there. Bunny was painting eggs. North was sculpting ice toys. Tooth was commanding the Mini-fairies where will they get the teeth. Sandman went out for a moment to send dreams to children. And Blizzard was fighting sleep that wanted to come in. They all worried and everyone wanted to be there to see if Snow and Jack all right.

A thud was heard at the front door. It opened and Jack entered followed by Snow and Nightlight. Everyone was relieved and surprised. When everyone checked Snow and confirmed she was all right, they talked to the shining white haired boy. Snow returned to her room to rest, followed by Blizzard.

"Nightlight, how nice of you to pay us a visit, it has been a long time. How are you and Katherine? I haven't heard from you." North said as he hugged Nightlight in a tight hug, making Nightlight gasping for air.

"Katherine is fine. She has been in Santoff Claussen to tell stories to children taught by Ombric." Nightlight said in form on light images.

"You are that Nightlight, one of the first Guardians?" Jack said shocked.

"Yes. And you must be Jack Frost, the bringer of Winter and the Guardian of Fun." Nightlight signed to Jack.

"Sorry for being a bit rude for not noticing you."

"It's ok. I understand." Nightlight reassured Jack by patting him on the shoulder.

"Why are you here?" Tooth interrupted "It was a long time since you've been here. Is there a big problem?"

"I came for Snowflake."

"Why?" Bunny asked with his thick Australian accent.

"Snow has put restrain on her powers. She was the one stopping it all along. It is bursting now, for some of her powers were used not so long ago."

Snow was listening at the door. Bliss was fast asleep. How did she restrain her powers unconsciously?
