Notes at the end.

Also borders will have quotes. Try guessing

Somewhere unknown to humans & spirits was a white room. In said room was a stone table surrounded by chairs. This place is where high leveled spirits/spirit council -or whatever you call them- come for things such as important meetings & voting on something happening.

Sitting at one end of the table is a teenage girl with red hair in braids. She'd probably look normal had it not been for her pale skin, couple of scars on her & a look in her dark brown eyes that made you think of eternity(1).

That girl is me... My name is Sydney Bow I am the spirit of maturity, I help people cross the line of childhood to adulthood or help keep you from crossing to early. Some spirits are stuck in the mental state they were in when they became a spirit. Sometimes the spirit needs to 'grow up' some & if it becomes important enough the council have meetings about what to do. I'm here because I'm the one that helps the spirit.(2)

At the moment the council was talking about a spirit that was attacked by Pitch Black. I didn't catch the name of the victim but from what I can tell, something pretty bad happened...

-Third Person POV-

Sydney just sat there watching everyone yell at each other. She missed some things due to either trying to tune everyone out or putting the pieces together.

"Pitch Black has gone to far!"

"Agreed. We have to do something about that traitor!"

"What about him?! We can't just turn our backs on the child!"

The red head spirit looked back & forth every once in a while between some of the arguing spirits. She was questioning a little about why someone hadn't -by mistake- lose control of their powers since many looked like they were going to do so.

Now they were arguing about whether or not Pitch's victim would get help from Sydney.

"He's already a wreck now! His mental age will make everything worse! It doesn't help he's in charge of one of the Gates of Seasons."

"But what about the children? He works with children most of the time! Think-"

"HEY!(listen) Why don't we stick that though, right up your-"

"ENOUGH!"

Everyone stopped talking & looked at the end of the table opposite of Sydney.

There at the other side of the room & table was a man in a suit with a couple strands of hair on his head. He looked like the kind of guy that'd make anyone smile, however right now he was frowning with a mix of worry & annoyance.

"This won't get us anywhere. I know this isn't the best of situations but there is so little that even we can do..." The man said before sighing "I know we need to do something about Pitch but there is no way to stop him forever. Good can not exist with out evil & in between. Among other reasons, the chest that took Kozmotis(3) away no longer exists. Who is to say someone worse might have come along or that we could lose another ally."

Everyone looked down but no one was as upset as Mother Nature.

"I-It's like Oldman Winter again in a way..." Someone said.

Oldman Winter was once a cheerful old man that played with children even if they believed in him or not. It seemed like better days back then, he even helped Jack Frost out. Then the worse thing happened... Pitch attacked Winter. Because of this happening Winter lost control of his powers & caused the Titanic to crash. After that he wasn't the same. Winter became quiet & depressed eventually hiding in Antarctica or some place. It's not known if he has been able to move past what happened or not.

While Winter may have been a victim of Pitch Black, it was not the same kind of attack that the spirit they were talking about had gone threw.

"So it is decided..." Man in the Moon said looking at everyone before getting up.

~~~"Just leave me your stardust to remember you by"~~~

It had been a month & a week since the guardians had seen Jack. Aster was still searching for the Guardian of Fun but had to be forced to rest. Aster still blamed himself for what happened, he took Jack's disappearance pretty bad to the point of nearly starving himself of food & sleep looking for the Frostbite. Bunny wished for many things...

He wished his race was still alive, he wished he had a better hold of his temper, but most of all he wished he could understand how he felt about Jack...

"Aster..."

Bunny looked up to see North standing next to his chair.

"Come on Aster, you need to rest. Come on I have guest room ready."

Aster sighed & followed North to one of the guest rooms. After the Russian left Aster looked around. North forgot that the guest room Aster stayed in was across from Jack's...

'Jack... Please come back... I'm really sorry.' Aster though as he sat on his bed.

"Snowflake..."

1) Not sure how to explain that. Doesn't help that I can't read eyes either. The only time I see stuff like that is in manga & how I draw eyes.(Most of the time)

2) I can't explain anything

3) I never read the books but I do my research when possible. I'll try to get the books eventually.

I want to thank QueenMimi011 from DeviantArt for letting me use their character Sydney Bow for this story...(Back in 2013)
