-Chapter One-
-The Seasonal Meeting-
Jack had never felt happier in his entire life.
He saved the world by using his center; his purpose. He gained believers, became a Guardian, made friends, and finally, he regained his memories. He knew now that at one point in his life that he had had a family. That he was cared and loved.
This was the best day ever!
And it was all thanks to the Man in Moon.
Jack glanced up with wonder in his eyes. So MiM had watched him all this time. For the first time in his life, he felt at peace as he sat next to Sandy. He had just become a Guardian and waved goodbye to the Burgess children.
He looked around him. North was driving, Bunny looked frightened, Tooth looked enthusiastic, and Sandy just smiled. Jack put his hands behind his head and let himself relax. He wasn't alone anymore. He had friends! People he could count on. He felt like he belonged!
When they finally reached the North Pole, North had ordered his Yetis to prepare a meal and drinks, and clapped Jack on the back announcing 'We must celebrate'. Not only the defeat of Pitch, but for the newest addition to the group.
Jack's eyes widened at the sight of North's workshop, and the big guy couldn't help it but give a boisterous laugh at the teenager's expression. North knew the others were exhausted, and so was he, but he loved a good party.
"To Jack Frost!" North lifted his glass, "For saving us, defeating Pitch, and joining us."
Jack flushed as everyone around him cheered. It had been mostly awkward at first and he felt overwhelmed. One minute he was a loner and next he was surrounded by people who wanted to hang out with him!
He spent a couple of hours spending time together with them and freezing some elves. At first, he was distant and spent most of the time around the window, but North had insisted that Jack must be with them.
When the sun had fallen, Bunny rose up.
"Sorry mates. I gotta go. Lots of catchin' up to do, especially cleaning up the mess in my Warren."
Jack winced. He still blamed himself and believed that the whole Easter fiasco was his fault.
"Yes, I should go now." Tooth nodded. "My fairies need help to organize the tooth boxes."
Sandy nodded, using his sand and gesturing that he had to go as well.
Inside, Jack was a little upset that their get-together was over and that they all had to go to their separate ways. He'd admit that he enjoyed spending time with them, but they all had separate jobs to do. Also, Jack had better get to Antarctica since the ice was melting. So they all said their farewells and went their separate ways.
Jack flew to the sky. It had been a week since he became a Guardian. It had been the best thing to happen to him in his three hundred years! Who would have thought Jack Frost, the Spirit of Winter, would have become a Guardian.
It had been so unexpected, and completely surprised him. Of course, that didn't mean he was enthusiastic at first. After all, being announced to become a Guardian was a shock in itself.
He looked up and saw the Moon. Man in Moon, he thought.
He shook his head as he passed by the mountains and into the forest. He didn't know where he was going, but he knew where he was heading. He was just letting the wind guide him. Few minutes later, he entered a grand-looking, circular room. The walls were made up woof and almost reaching up to the sky. In the middle of the room was a long wooden table with chairs.
Jack sighed.
It was time to meet with the seasonal spirits.
Yes, Jack had a job other than being the Guardian of Fun. He was the Spirit of Winter, so he's in charge of making snow and winter. It had been surprising to find out about this, and especially when Mother Nature first approached him and told him and explained about his duties and that she'd help him control his powers. When he had entered her home, he was in awe at it, and Mother Nature couldn't help but chuckle.
He could recall that memory clearly…
Jack frowned, looking up at the moon that was shining brightly in the dark sky. It had been 3 months since he came out of the frozen lake, and Jack still couldn't understand why the Moon created him. What was his purpose? What was he doing here? Why were people walking through him? He had so many questions and wanted to ask the Moon, but no response, not even a sign.
He had looked up to the Moon because he was the only one who acknowledged his existence. The only one probably. And he still hadn't answered his questions!
Jack was lying down on a thick branch and his back lying against the trunk before falling asleep. The next day, he woke up and he felt something that he had never felt before…hot. He frowned as he felt wetness on his temple, and when he touched it he felt something wet.
What is this? Jack thought.
He looked up and winced when a bright light shined upon his eyes. He learned that a bit of heat made him flinch, and now he was uncomfortable. He bounced off the branch and landed gracefully at the snowy field. He the noticed some of the snow around him had melted.
He shrugged and about to wave his winter magic with his staff but was stopped when he heard a voice.
"Jack Frost?"
Jack stopped, feeling like he couldn't breathe. His body frozen, eyes wide. Someone…someone had just said his name! And it sounded like it was coming from behind him…did that mean?...He felt his hopes raised as he turned around slowly and his eyes widened even more of what he saw, or rather who was in front of him.
It was a woman. Around mid-30's or 40's. She had a long green dress, with a bit of frost and vines wrapped around her waist which Jack could conclude that was her belt. Her face was a heart-shaped, her skin pale, eyes shining colour blue, her orange mixed with yellow hair flowing down with curly ends till her waist. She also had flowers at the top of her head.
But that wasn't what was shocking Jack. It was the fact that this woman was looking directly at him! Not through him.
"Y-you can see me?" Jack stuttered a bit.
The woman looked surprised for a moment before giving him a small smile. "Yes." She nodded. "You must be Jack Frost, the Man in Moon told me so much about you."
"The Man in Moon?"
The woman again looked surprised. "Man in Moon, the one who created you."
Recognition flickered through Jack's eyes. "Ah. Him. Is that what he called?" he asked.
"He did not tell you his name?"
"He only told me my name is Jack Frost, and that I am the Spirit of Winter. That was all he ever said to me." Jack frowned, looking up at the woman. "Why isn't he talking to me? And why do those people can't see me?"
The woman again looked shocked. "Wait, he didn't guide you? Or teach you how to control your powers?"
"No." Jack shook his head. "But I learned it all by myself. Watch this!" he grinned as he waved his hand and produced a single snowflake. He laughed warmly as he watched the snowflake he created drifted away by the wind. He coughed a bit.
The woman now looked shocked, and blinked a bit before she gave him a smile.
"Who are you?" Jack couldn't help but ask.
"I have many name but I am mostly known as Mother Nature, I am also known as Gaia."
Jack stared at her with wide eyes before giving her a big grin. "That's a pretty name." Gaia couldn't help but chuckle. "Is it OK if I call you Mother?"
"Yes, that works too." She nodded. "Now come with me child."
Jack couldn't help but feel excited at that thought. That meant he wasn't going to be alone! Gaia took his hand as she guided him through the forest and into a wooden cabin.
He had been taught by Gaia everything about the seasons, winter and spirits. It relieved him that all his questions were answered, well, maybe not all of them. He still didn't know why MiM created him. At first, he thought his purpose was to bring winter but…
"Frost!"
Jack looked up and could see a young man around his late-twenties, sitting on a wooden chair. He had a yellow tunic, brown pants, ginger hair, green eyes. Next to him was a young woman, also late-twenties, she had a blonde hair with a green dress, similar to Mother Nature's dress, and had small pink flowers around her hair, her eyes shining purple and with pink lips. Then next to her was a young woman, also late twenties, brown hair, orange dress, and she had brown eyes.
And they were all glaring at him.
Jack just took a seat next to the young woman with a brown hair. They were still glaring at him. So he said, "Hello guys!" he gave them a smile, trying to lighten the tension.
The blonde woman's eyes narrowed. "I've heard you've became the newest Guardian." She said.
Jack didn't know what to say, so he just nodded.
"Protectors of children," the young man scoffed. "You! The Spirit of Winter."
Jack glared at him. "I don't see why you guys cared." He said. "It is none of your business, Rory." Though he was a little hurt at his words.
The young man—Rory—was about to retort but Gaia had arrived. She gave a small smile, and Jack had wondered if she noticed the tension or not, but she gave no indication. "My children. We are gathered here today for another Seasonal Meeting."
Her 'children' turned their attention at her and nodded. Gaia took a seat at the end of the table, right next to Jack on her right. She gave Jack a smile and said, "Jack, I've heard you're the newest Guardian."
Jack looked nervous, biting his lip before nodding. "Yes, mother."
He learnt one thing when he worked as the Spirit of Winter, it was to be formal and polite with Gaia.
"I'm very proud of you, my child." Gaia said proudly. "I knew you have great potential to our world, and I can see you'll do great things and be a great protector of the children."
The other people in the room snorted and some glared at Jack.
"Now," she cleared her throat, turning back to the task. "I have received a report about Spring and it seems it is not very well." She didn't mention about the Easter fiasco, and Pitch Black. "Bea," she turned to the blonde woman known as Bea. "I need you to work on Asia, it's much more damaged." She sighed before turning to Rory.
"And Rory, go to Caribbean and Hawaii. I need you to give little heat wave." Rory nodded. She turned to the brunette woman. "Mara, I suppose you need to gather the animals, some are still hibernating." The brunette woman—Mara-nodded. Then finally, Gaia turned to the winter child. "And Jack, work on the Southern Hemisphere and make sure the Antarctica's bridges frozen." Jack nodded.
They talked for long hours, and Gaia giving them weather patterns and each problem of the countries, especially about Global Warming and life not balanced. Like it was getting worst. To Jack, it almost sounded like she was complaining.
"Then you are dismissed." Gaia said. Finally! The Seasonal meeting was over. Gaia left, and the only one in the room were Jack, Mara, Rory, and Bea.
Bea was the Spirit of Spring, the one in charge this season. Next was Rory, the Spirit of Summer. And last but not least, Mara, the Spirit of Autumn. Those three were working for Gaia, and, in a way, they were Jack's 'siblings'. And Jack was the youngest out of all the four. And also the youngest Seasonal spirit ever. It was one of the reasons why Jack's siblings disliked him.
Jack sighed and got up. "OK. I'll see you next meeting guys." He said before he flew out of the window as his 'siblings' glared daggers behind his back.
"Hello?" Jack looked around, frowning.
Around him was an endless dark room. No lights. Nothing. Just Jack standing there and the only light he had was his staff which was glowing blue. Everything here was quiet. Where was he? He frowned.
"Jack?"
That voice.
"Jack!"
He turned around and gasped who he saw.
He had to blink twice before stepping forward towards that voice.
It was his sister standing there. Smiling, and still wearing that same brown dress the last time he had seen her. He smiled brightly.
"Jack!" She beamed before running towards them and Jack made an 'Oof' sound when she wrapped her arms around his middle, hugging him tightly. "I missed you."
Jack chuckled a bit, hugging her back. "I missed you too kiddo."
