And Back!
Chapter Eleven: Lesson's of the Past.
It was late the next morning Jamie walked down from his tower, he noticed that a letter was tapped to the wall, he picked it up and read
Jamie,
Its time you knew the truth, meet me and other Guardian's in the dining hall.
Jack
Jamie smirked at the untidy scrawl, he pocketed the note and rushed to the dining room, where he found Jack, Natura and Manny sitting opposite North, Bunny, Pitch, Tooth and Sandy,
"Jamie!" Tooth fluttered over, before pulling him to the only empty chair in the room facing the three Titan's,
"So vhy have you called us all in here?" North asked after a minute of tense silence,
"We have been speaking, and have decided to come clean, and explain everything to just you seven, the other Titan's, Cupid, no-one else are going to know" Manny told them, leaning back in his seat,
"Oh were to begin" Natura smiled, "So long ago, anyway, I trust you all know about the Reserve Universe theory?"
Jamie shook his head,
"Ah, well it's a theory and a very correct one, that states that when Creation comes to an, a new universe will be born, weaker than the first, but still alive, and everything repeats itself" Jack told them,
"So everything refreshes?" Jamie Asked,
"Yes" Manny nodded, "You see, the three of us, we are the last remnants of the old world"
"You were born in the universe before this one?" Pitch asked,
"We were, in that universe, Jack here was made a Guardian, when Cupid was made one in yours" Manny explained, "And, like Cupid, Jack was able to relight Jamie's belief, however, unlike Cupid, Jamie was the first human to ever see Jack"
"That is so cool!" Jamie smiled and Jack smirked,
"After the defeat of the Nightmare King, Jack and Jamie became good friends, the two practically unseparatable, even after he turned 18, Jamie believed in Jack, and the Guardian's" Manny nodded, "Just after his eighteenth Birthday, a great evil awoke… we knew him only as…"
"The Trickster" Jack spat the name, venom in his voice,
"At first he was harmless, then he started killing" Natura frowned, "Of course, he used lesser warriors to do so, The Guardian's and those that are now called Titan's engaged the servants, while the Puppet Master stayed hidden, dozens of powerful sprits fell to him, including Reece Summers, Yuki-Onna and even Cupid"
"How many died?" Jamie asked
"Most of them died, I think only Cupid ever escaped the Trickster service" Jack shrugged,
"But with a massive collapse in progress, all our attention was turned away when the Trickster finally revealed himself" Manny told them, "And as a symbol to the Guardian's, he…"
"Killed Jamie" Natura finished, "Jack was furious, he left the army fighting the Trickster brigade and went after the Trickster himself, at that time, no-one knew about him, but when we learn about him, and that Jack had been tracking him for centuries, we knew we must act, the Titan's and Guardian's combined force's, we hoped it would be enough to stop him"
"It wasn't" Jack continued, "Grim and Galactica were slain, and without Grim, there was no death, only unending pain, until the Universe started to collapse, without Galactica, there was no more growing, every spirit united to try and fix it, but it was too late"
"Everything collapsed, as the universe collapsed, Spirits and life started to die, first the Spirits of Nature died, Jack was strong enough to escape with all the remaining Winter Spirits, there they performed the final act, where Seasonal Spirits give up their lives and power and imbue it to their King or Queen, Jack was unwilling but with all this power inside, he could rival one of us two, after a day or so, the three of us were the only ones left" Natura explained,
"We knew in order to survive, we would need to seal raw power around us, we did so and the universe ended around us" Manny explained, leaning forward looking at the floor "We were alone with our own thoughts for Millions, if not Billions of years"
"I'm surprised you didn't go Mad" Jamie told the three, who each chuckled,
"Who said we didn't?" Jack asked with a smirk, "But after a few thousand years we got bored and began to experiment with the Power Orbs, when we learnt what they can do, we used the power contained in those orbs, to create this universe"
"If you knew that I would become this, why did you let it happen?!" Pitch growled,
"There are events, as horrid or as painful as they are, that are fixed, the harder we tried to stop it, the more it pushed, we knew that it must happen so after a hundred years of halting, we let you become Pitch Black" Jack explained,
Pitch frowned, but nodded in acknowledgement.
"We know that soon after Jamie turn's 18, the Trickster will come, and when he does, we will need to be ready, that is why we are waiting until Jamie turn's 18 to turn him into a Spirit, if we were to do so before hand, he might get wind of it before he attacks, it might make him attack in another way" Manny told them, "We will need you here to keep the Trickster fooled, when he attacks, we will have all Seven Titan's, Jamie, and all of you here to face him, and this time we will win!"
The Guardian's all nodded to the three Titan's, who nodded back, "We shall take our leave" North nodded and the Guardian's stood up and walked away, leaving Jamie alone with the Titan's, he looked among them,
"You choose to keep me safe, over all the other more important spirits in the world, why?" Jamie asked them,
"Because in the…" Natura began
"The Other dimension" Jamie frowned, "Well guess what, I'm not the other Jamie, I'm me…. And I don't want to be used"
With that Jamie stormed out, Natura turned to face Jack,
"You still have the relic?" Natura asked and Jack nodded from behind him he pulled a tube made of solid gold,
"This should show him the true of your words" A Voice called, Cupid walked forward, "After all, you hold memory of love within your hands, love and betrayal"
And done!
Hope you enjoyed!
