Hi everyone! I'm back with another chapter! Omg I'm so hype for this cause it's going to get awesome and so epic! This chapter is kinda gonna be basically a short recap of what's been going on and whatnot until Jack becomes a guardian and then things are gonna get interesting... Anyways, glad you all like the story so far and lets get into this!
I finally gave up.
I gave up my little naive ways and learned that life was tough and unfair, like I said, I have to give what I got, and I got some pretty awful stuff. It was every spirit for themselves. Selfish, cruel, and tough, I had to be a little bit like that too. I didn't like it all the time, but I had to do it to survive like this.
Finding a friend can be easy for some people, and some hard. Some people think they will never find one, but they always do no matter what. But for me, that dream was impossible. I was alone all by myself with no one to take care of me. I gave up trying to befriend my seasonal siblings. I even tried to befriend elves, dwarves, angels, demons, fairies, mermaids, and other mythical creatures but they all turned their back on me. I guess word got out that I was extremely unfriendly.
I was on my own. I had to defend myself. I knew those three would come back, in hopes that they would finish me off. I barely made it out alive last time. I had to amp up my game and know how to fight back.
Over the next 200 years, I honed some wicked fighting skills before I became a guardian. And I also noticed some not-so-wicked things about me, I'd like to share them with you, but they're a secret. Don't tell anyone! I'm serious! I haven't told the Guardians and they shouldn't know before the time is right, sound good? Awesome. (Smirk)
Keep in mind that we Seasonal Spirits have common abilities. Here's two cool things about us: we can transform into our Animal Form, and our Ultimate Form, I also created some tricks up my sleeve for myself. Animal Form is honestly kinda fun, but our Ultimate Form can really pack a punch. Here's a little bit about our Animal Form:
Animal Form is basically what you think it is; we transform into animals. It's especially awesome since we transform into an animal that relates to our season. Mine is an Arctic Wolf, it's pretty dang cool. We can't control our powers in our Animal Form but we can summon a pack of animals like our own. I have made quite the alliance with my own pack of Arctic Wolves! And don't get me started with the time I accidentally tripped and rolled down a snowy mountain, turning into a snowball... didn't end pretty.
But anyways, Flora's Animal Form is a doe. A petite, pretty little female deer. Ha! What a laugh, I know, but I underestimated this doe pretty bad the first time she turned into it. She's fast, nimble, sensitive to movement and sound, hard to catch, and whatever you do, don't let it run into you. Cause it hurts! Any sort of deer ram, just avoid it! Yeah, so don't underestimate deer, and if you see one... run! Or in a better case, fly!
Glimmer is a dolphin. A cute, happy looking dolphin. Yes... a dolphin. I'll admit, they're cute with their happy smiles and they even save people's lives, but did you know they can also kill people by drowning them? Pretty deceiving and deadly, just like Glimmer is. It really does suit her. A cute dolphin, but turns into a killing machine by drowning her foe. She can swim really fast, leap into the air high to grab her prey, and weigh her foe down and bring them to the depths of the ocean, thus, drowning. Not fun.
But Red's animal is actually pretty decent right off the gecko. A hawk. A really big one too for it's breed of bird. It's almost as big as me when I'm in Animal Form. It's orange and brown with sleek feathers so it flies around like a jet. It's beak and claws are razor sharp, it can tear through skin like tissue paper. Not cool, it hurts really bad. Wrestling with it isn't fun. It's really basic, but cunning and deadly, and downright scary!
Honestly, our Animal Form is more for fun and to communicate with our other species, we battle each other with it when it's most necessary. But our Ultimate Form is the boss... but it can also be our downfall.
Ultimate Form can only be achieved by the Seasonal Spirits; us. It's a secret, nobody knows about it, not even Mother Nature. Our power is doubled in this form and we have an incredible amount of stamina, power, etc. with some other special features to go along with it.
For instance, I can unleash my Ultimate Form and control snow and ice and fly without my staff and to a much greater power. Flora can also control the earth/ground and wind instead of just rocks and trees and plants. Glimmer can turn into her water form and light fire form at the same time; her body is mixed of fire and water at the same time. And Red can fly without his leaf lift, he can disappear for short periods of time, and his arms and hands can transform into any weapon is his possession. His arm can turn into a sword for instance.
There's a catch though.
Immortality does not mean that we can't die, it means that we never grow old, we still can get hurt. Wounds usually heal up before we die. But in our Ultimate Form, you can kill us. We're vulnerable in that form, but we're incredibly powerful. Wounds that we could heal in our normal form, even the most deadly, we will die. Something that powerful has to come with a price.
Together, Ultimate Form or not, we can create the ultimate move. I've never done that before with them, probably never will. But it would be neat to see it. It needs to be performed in perfect condition and train of thought. That will never happen with them though since they hate me.
I have a few special tricks up my sleeves though! For the time being, in between training and or battling my siblings, I tested my abilities. I found out that I can transform my body into complete ice. I'm much slower, and I can't fly, but I become super strong and I'm impenetrable to ice and snow. Pretty neat. I also can turn my staff into a scythe or spear by freezing it into sharp ice. Just a few things but I sure am creative!
It's amazing what I can do, but it's really scary. And controlling ice isn't all that easy. Ice is controlled by the deepest, and darkest emotions on contrast to the other elements. That's where all my blizzards come from. If something really bad or sad happens to me, all my negative energy releases and turns into a blizzard and I loose control. Ultimate Form can be painful if not executed properly in the aftermath. It's risky, but it's pretty cool...
Sort-of.
Just like I had predicted, my siblings did come back to finish me off by invading my lake and trying to take me down right there and then. Luckily, I always won since I worked hard and trained myself in between whereas they just took my previous weakness as a given. It still wasn't easy of course.
One of the times I had to go into Ultimate Form to bring down Red. He didn't have to though... that really shows our rivalry. In the end, it resulted in a blizzard which canceled Easter. Bunnymund had plenty to say to me in his great first impression, it wasn't pretty. But right then I vowed to myself that I was going to do something about Red. That's when I realized that we had a special rivalry and it was only going to be settled if I proved myself to him. It hasn't happened yet. And as far as I know, he is better than me.
Another time, Glimmer tried to drown me in my own lake in her dolphin form. That fight we battled in our Animal Form. I barely made that one to be honest. I had a panic attack from almost drowning and it was hard to get her out of my lake. In the end I almost drowned and she had a gushing bite mark on her neck. But I have to admit, dolphin blubber is pretty tasty... wait... what!?
I'm going to be brutally honest but if it weren't for my staff, allowing me to fly, Flora would have won. She was the one having to go into Ultimate Form to almost bring me down. She's the weakest but of course I can't underestimate her. When she unleashed her UF (Ultimate Form), she had the ability to control the wind, knocking me to the ground where she could manipulate the earth to bounce me around like a ping pong ball. My ice form was super useful as I was too heavy to be thrown around by the ground and plants. Thank Manny for that.
These fights went on for 200 years. When I first figured out that I had a reaction to iron, to when I became a Guardian. Over those two centuries, I had honed some pretty awesome battle strategies. But I never really showed them off unless it was necessary since it was deadly to me and everyone else. For me, it's like negative energy which isn't a good thing.
I was really powerful, more powerful than all of the Guardians combined. During my first few days with them, the only time I tapped (slightly) into my true power was when I took down Pitch when he killed Sandy. That's when my anger was awoken and my inner powered fired up. For the rest of the time, it took more energy to refrain myself from going all out than rather using it. It was for my own, and their own, good.
But once I became a guardian, I thought I was safe from them. That I'd never have to use my true power again. Go back. See them. Here from them. Hoping that they'd learn or back off or something.
Boy was I wrong.
There you have it folks! Sorry if it was rushed or confusing, please feel free to catch me on anything if you find one:) But I hope you liked it and found it interesting and made sense of it! Hope you thought it was neat with all the features and whatnot. But anyways, PLEASE leave a review cuz this story is about to hit epic mode really hard! Till next time! Peace!
