Thowra: Spirit of the Wind

Chapter 1: A New Guardian

Ages: Jack: 416, Thowra: 115, North: ?, Bunny: ?, Sandy: ?, Tooth: ?

It's been a century since Jamie's death, and Jack hasn't been in a good mood. Actually he confined himself to his room, that North gave him when he had nowhere to go, and never came out ever since. "What's wrong with him?" Bunny asked as he pointed to Jack's door. "He's been like this ever since a century ago," Tooth said to him. "Ever since Jamie..."

She didn't continue and he knew what she meant. "Oh." He said as his ears went backwards in understanding and depression. Sandy was grieving quietly while North was pacing back and forth and muttering to himself. "Okay, okay," He muttered. "Jack in depression because first believer and best friend Jamie died." As he paced Sandy saw Manny's light and tried to get their attention.

Of course it didn't work so he did what he did before: grabbed a nearby elf and shook it. They noticed the light and Tooth went to get Jack out, when he did came out he was paler than normal and he had a haunted look in his eyes. The light made a figure with curled hair then a blob of shadow. "Wha-" Bunny said, voicing everyone's confusion.

It then moved to the 'G' where it split to have a huge crystal come up. "A new Guardian." North said, lifting everyone's spirits, even Jack's by a little. It took a few seconds but the Guardian was shown. It was a boy with a shirt that was so loose it would hang off one of his shoulders, baggy pants, and no shoes. He had a mop of hair that had a strand across his nose.

"Who is this?" He muttered, getting everyone's attention. "Never seen him before." Bunny said before coloring an egg(where does he keep those?). "Maybe if Jack finds him then he'll tell us." Tooth offered, not wanting the yetis to find him the same way with Jack. Jack just nodded and flew to where Manny's light was shining.

He gulped before going to the place he always dreaded to go because of the memories there. He noticed that his pond was surrounded by a forest now. Now we can- He stopped thinking, and flying because he landed on a tree, and criticized himself. He flew to the ground and started walking, trying to remember everything before he met him.

"Who are you?!" A voice sounded behind him, a year younger by the sound. He turned around and came face to face with a spirit. He had a sky blue shirt that was so loose it hung off his left shoulder, exposing his right shoulder, white and gray baggy pants that, up close, looked like pajama pants, and the thing that caught his attention the most: no shoes.

"Are you done checking me out or are you gonna answer?!" The boy said agitated. Jack looked at him again and saw that he had a mop of brown hair with light brown and dark brown streaks, a strand across his nose, and his eyes were a very pale brown. He was tanned a bit but not too much, he remembered why he was here for. "You have to come with me." He said while holding out his hand.

The boy shielded away a bit before regaining his composure. "Why?" He asked, still ticked off a bit for some reason. "You were chosen by Man in Moon to be a Guardian." Jack said as he held his hand further. The boy shielded away more before they heard a voice.

"Are you sure Anthony?" The voice, a girl by the sound, asked. They saw that three kids, two boys and one girl, were standing next to the pond. "I'm sure," The boy said to her. "My great-grandpa said that he left something here, told his mom he was going for a walk, she said to not go to the pond, and there was a teenager slowly walking on the pond."

Jack's eyes widened as he was listening. Maybe this is how Jamie... left. He thought as he listened. "When he got the item the ice cracked under him, the boy told him not to move, took his scarf off, tossed one end to him, and flung him to the bank! But the boy wasn't lucky, just as he plunged my great-grandpa shouted 'Kid!', but it was too late."

Jack spared a look at the boy and saw fear in his eyes. As the kids left they stepped out of their temporary cover, and stared at the pond. "I never got your name." He said, trying to break the silence. "Thowra," The boy said quickly. "I'm Thowra, spirit of the wind."

Okay, Jack hasn't noticed yet that Thowra resembles Jamie yet. If there's anything you'd like to be in the story: review.
