Danny opened his eyes to find his father and his Master staring at him. "What?"
"Nothing," his father replied, shooting a glance at the king.
"Why do I feel so euphoric right now?" Danny asked him.
"No idea," his father replied. "Go see your mother, then go home."
The King of all Ghosts recovered his composure. "And tell Plasmius I want to see him as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master," Danny bowed, then vanishing.
"How the hell was he able to sing the song of the Fates?" Pariah Dark exclaimed, rounding on his knight as soon as Daniel was out of earshot.
"Again, no idea," the Fright Knight answered.
"Surely, not something back in your family tree?"
The Fright Knight shrugged in reply. Silence fell over the garden as both of them contemplated what they'd seen and heard.
The Far Frozen glistened with the festivities of a winter snow carnival. In fact, Danny could see the great top tent being set up. He waved to Ringmaster Lydia, who waved back. Several of the yeti ran screaming indoors as he flew over them.
"They still haven't recovered yet, have they?" Danny mused after Frostbite bade him enter the Ice Palace.
"Well, you did freeze solid half the spectators, Great One," his stepfather said, laughing heartily. "What has brought you here this eveningtide?"
"The carnival," Danny blurted out. "Got to get Apricot and Youngblood out here. Ember too."
"Surely, it wasn't Ringmaster Lydia who brought you all the way to the Far Frozen from the human world, Daniel. I felt strange ripples in the fabric of the worlds a moment ago," his mother said, appearing beside her mate.
"It's been a very long, very weird day," Danny told her. "Plum woke me up by bouncing off the bed, then I got called to Plasmius and everyone kept tell me I was late, until my new power threw Father and Jorge into a wall."
"Ah, the sonic vibrations I mentioned earlier, dear heart," Frostbite observed.
"Shhh," his wife whispered back. A little rabbit jumped out of the bushes as the trio turned to walk down a garden path and landed in Danny's outstretched arms. "Looks like someone wants to be cuddled."
"Silly, Pietr," Danny murmured, stroking one of the rabbit's long silky ears. The rabbit purred and butted his hand gently, not too unlike a cat.
Danny giggled softly and then repeated the weird conversation he'd had with the Fright Knight and Pariah Dark. His stepfather frowned. "They heard singing."
"Yeah. Master kept looking at me strangely."
"Phantom, did your father and your Master talk about the choice again?" his mother queried.
"Yeah."
Frostbite and Sarah exchanged glances again. "It could only be the Fates," Frostbite commented.
"Daniel Phantom, did you sing with the Fates?" his mother demanded.
"Did I, what?"
"Oh dear," Clockwork murmured, "they really should have explained things a bit more to the poor child."
"Oh, cool, the snow carnival is almost set up!" Apricot exclaimed, seeing part of the image in the portal.
"Yes," Clockwork said, banishing the image. "You'll go when the first snow falls and not sooner."
"Dang it!"
"Plum, Apricot, Plum!"
