As Jack approached the Nightmare lords lair, he felt
stomach churn. "Pitch!..." No response. "Pitch, are you here?"
Finally a stirring came from the depth of the whole, "What do you want Frost? My nose is clean. "
Jack snickered, "I know. That's not why I'm here. I wanted to see if you want to go ice skating?"
The tall shadow gave a low huff, "why would I go anywhere with you winter?"
Jack squashed the hurt that tried to make itself known, "your right. Skating is probably to difficult for you, sorry I asked."
The dark man glared, "I never took you to be one for manipulation Winter. Fine I'll go skating if only to prove you wrong."
The winter spirit cheered inside, "alright fair enough, follow me."
As they reached a lake Pitch stared at the completely thawed lake with doubt. Before he could say anything though, Jack smirked before handing his staff to the man, "would you mind?"
Pitch stared at the staff with wide eyes. It was well known Jack loved his staff, and never let anyone touch it. Running his fingers over the wood he felt the thru of magic beneath his fingers. It felt good.
Looking to the staff then back at Jack he touch the staff to the water. Nothing happened and he frowned.
Frost stepped behind the tall man, running his fingers along his arm before resting his hand over pitchs'. Pitch jumped, "What are you doing winter?"
Jack held his ground, "showing you. Just close your eyes for a second...good. now focus on the magic beneath your fingers. Feel the air around you. Picture the lake turning to ice. Picture it cold and strong and beautiful. Then touch the staff to the water."
Jack let go of the man's hand and watched as pitch followed his instruction. Once again Pitch touched the wood to the water, this time watching in fascination as the lake froze over with a thick blue layer of ice. The nightmare king looked to Jack Confused, "why did it work for me?"
Jacks eyes softened, "because I accept you. My staff is apart of me and because I accept you so does my staff."
Pitch glared, "I don't want your pity winter."
Jack glared right back, "it's not pity. If you didn't remember, it was once you offering your friendship to me when I was not believed in. This is me doing the same. I see you Pitch. Now let's skate."
The dark spirit looked ready to reply but stopped himself and nodded, "Fine."
Jack stepped onto the ice with ease making an easy loop around the lake. Pitch stepped on as well, one rather than skating with ease like Jack he fell strait on his arse.
Jack started chuckling madly before skating over to the man of his desires, "here take my hands. I'll help you."
Pitch glared playfully before looking at the outstretched hand hesitantly. Slowly he reached out and excepted the help, gripping Jacks hand tight.
