And Backness

Chapter Twelve: Belief

Jamie looked among the spirits in the room to see if anyone else thought this a joke, how a simple book could hope to stop an army of beasts, Jamie looked to Natura who seemed to be ready to explode,

"You swore. You swore, that would never been used" Natura growled, "I understand the need, but you cannot think this would help!"

"What would?" Jamie asked,

"I'm just as lost as you" Reece shrugged,

"Reece, Holly, Dawn please take Jamie to the library, I don't want you to see this" Natura growled cracking her knuckles,

The three spirits grabbed Jamie and ran, the door closing behind them…

(Hours later)

Jamie was sitting reading a book when he heard Natura and Reece talking,

"What was that thing?" Reece asked,

"Think of it as a nuclear deterrent, a weapon if all else fails" Natura told him,

"But what is it?" Reece asked,

"The Book of Legends" Natura told him and Reece cursed loudly,

"it exists? I thought it a tale, something to scare young spirits and children with!" Reece frowned,

"It is very real" Natura frowned, "not only real, but dangerous… I think I managed to… persuade Manny to lock it away for a while"

"Good idea" Holly's voice echoed across the room, "if someone held that power, they'd be unstoppable"

Jamie frowned, moving as Pitch had taught him he silently slipped out of the room and walked towards the meeting room, where he saw Manny awaiting him,

"I knew you could not resist" Manny told him, "Natura is a fool to keep you Mortal"

"Mortal have lives too" A New voice growled as Jamie watched Pitch appeared beside him, scowling at the Moonspirit.

"Short, fleeting ones that are not worth noting" Manny shook his head, and Pitch scowled,

"I swear to the Shadows Manny, if you force the power upon the boy, you'll create another… of him" Pitch scowled,

Manny frowned as he watched Pitch, "He was a one off, I'm sure if Jamie wants, he can manage to power much better"

"But have you told him all the facts?" Pitch asked, "You'll be alienating him from everyone, Natura, the Guardians… even his own family. And for what, you to have a new weapon, a new piece on the board, because I am telling you Crater Brain, you could not control him if you tried"

Manny shrugged, "I doubt you know what I'm capable of"

"I doubt YOU know what he's capable of" Pitch countered, Manny stormed off grumbling as the book lay on the desk,

Pitch watching from behind as the 18 year old walked towards the book, on its cover was a single word,

BELIEVE.

Jamie blinked as he looked upon the book, reaching out a hand ideas swam in his mind, visions of what could be and several of them made him blush as he imagined eternity with Jack.

Jamie placed a hand on the book and within seconds Golden light filled the room, Pitch was sent flying backward he climbed up and saw Natura running forward, followed by Reece, Holly and Dawn.

"What happened?" Natura called to her father,

"The book reacted like this to his touch!" Pitch replied, shielding himself from the intense golden light, not noticing, Manny, Galactica and Father Time arrive followed by North.

After a few minutes the light died down and Jamie stood before them all, he looked the same as he had before, apart from the new white and gold outfit he wore, and the white gold book that followed him around,

"Jamie…" North breathed,

"Not any longer" Jamie shook his head, before looking up and then nodding to himself, "I am the Fabler"

"And your power shall know no limit" Manny told him, "With you at the front the army of beasts will stand no chance"

"That does not concern me, it is your failing that allowed them to be unleashed, so it should be you that clears it up, I have other matters to deal with" Jamie told Manny who scowled,

"You are a spirit and you will obey me!" Manny called,

"And you said it yourself, the power at my command is limitless, do you really think I would kneel and obey when I can roam free" Jamie told him and Natura smirked,

"it seems Jamie is too full of free will for you Manny… reminds me of Nature" Natura smirked as she walked over, placing a hand on Jamie's shoulder,

"What is your plan?" Natura asked,

"Remove the head and the body will flail" Jamie told her,

"I agree" Natura nodded, "I shall keep the rest of them busy, I think its best for you to go alone"

"But I think I need some rest first" Jamie admitted before collapsing, Natura was easily able to grab him before he hit the ground, she smiled at the young boy picking him up she walked him to his room and laid him out on his bed, the book landing down next to him,

"Rest easy, Fabler" Natura smiled as she walked out, as the door closed, her smile became a scowl, storming into the armoury she began to open chest after chest after chest, After several minutes Reece walked in,

"Where did I put it?" Natura voice was barely louder than a growl,

"What are you looking for?" Reece asked,

"My Longbow, I'm going to shoot Manny" Natura told him,

"Not your best idea" Reece told her,

"I don't care, I told him to leave Jamie alone and he ignored me, he made his own plans, and now he dies" Natura told him, picking up a bow.

"Still a bad idea, c'mon I think instead we should just throw him off of a cliff, then shoot him" Reece smirked,

"I do love it when you go so cruel" Natura smiled, before looking thoughtful, "I Think the top of Mount Everest would do…"

"And Cupid?" Reece asked

"I think Pitch and Jamie can think of something, but I have someone to torture" Natura grinned like a wolf before running away planning something nasty for Manny.

And done
