Chapter6: assemble
After the connection between Jack and his siblings severed, the crystals went back underground, and the globe stood in their place . The winter spirit looked thoughtful, the conversation was still fresh in his mind, after what seemed like hours, Jack opened his eyes, looked over his shoulder, and called his right hand.
"Arianna" said Jack
A beautiful woman, who looked in her mid-twenties with plutonium blonde hair, emerged from the shadows. Arianna, or the snow queen as she is more commonly known, like any other winter spirit had pale skin that looked like snow and icy blue eyes. She wore a light blue, knee length Greek dress with white snowflake designs at the end, a dark blue hooded cloak that extended to her ankles was over the dress. The hood was covered in white fur. Her high heels were the same color as her cloak with mini roses at the side. The upper part of her hair was tied into a bun while the rest flowed passed her shoulders in beautiful curls. At the right side of her bun rested two white roses.
She came closer to Jack, stopped 10 feet away from him, and bowed "yes my king" she replied
"Call all of our head leaders, I must talk to them"
"of course, at once my lord" she bowed again and went to the room's wooden double doors. Jack watched her leave for a moment then headed to his throne room. As he walked there he looked at the castle. This place is his home but he doesn't spend much time here due to his responsibilities, they could keep him busy for months. He doesn't even spend much time with other winter spirits for the same reasons
Even though the castle was made of ice and its exterior was made of nothing else but it, the interior of the castle is a beautiful blend and mix of ice and other materials including wood. The castle was decorated by material other than ice as well. it even has rooms with temperature that suits the temperature of the other seasons as well. The ice is mixed with magic so there no fear of it melting when rising the temperature.
Jack reached his destination. The room was vast with a high ceiling, giving him space to fly. The walls are decorated with fabrics of different winter colors like blue of different shades, silver and white, different winter plants, wood and frost.
But what attracts everyone's attention is the throne. It was made out of ice and adorned by Safire. It was really beautiful. Jack sat on it, watching the door across him as he waited for his head leaders and right hand to come.
The door opened, and Arianna stepped in with three others, all four stood in front of the king and bowed. Jack started greeting every one of them.
"Anyue" Jack greeted. Anyue is a large majestic arctic wolf with vibrate blue eye . The wolf had red tribal marks around her eyes, forehead, and the upper part of her front paws. White feather with black tips adorns the back of her right ear.
"your majesty" she greeted back with a motherly voice.
Next to Anyue stood a majestic arctic owl
"Minai" greeted Jack.
"My king" greeted the owl . Minai was a gentle creature and like what is widely know about owls. She is one of the wisest beings Jack ever met.
Every season has an affinity with certain animals. Summer has affinity with eagles and bears, Autumn with foxes and crows, Spring elks and storks, and winter with wolves and owls, and not just arctic ones.
Next to minia stood Arianna. Jack greeted her as well.
The last figure was a female snow white female yeti with large blue eyes. She looked like north's , but shorter, slimmer, and with curves that indicate her gender.
"Fiona" greeted Jack
The snow white yeti replied with her yettish language
After greeting everyone Jack started speaking
"Ladies" said Jack in a serious king like tone "As you all know the Olarak is a few months away, the seal that is keeping our greatest enemy locked away is at its weakest then, our enemy has started to move, apparently he is sending spies to watch us"
"Anyue, minai"
"yes your majesty" both the wolf and the owl replied
"You keep watch, but at low profile, if you or your underlings find anything or anyone suspicious report to me immediately".
"Arianna , you and the others keep doing your jobs while at the same time keeping watch"
the snow queen nodded
"and Fiona , you and the other yetis stay in the forest and castle, and keep in touch with the other seasons"
"The others are doing the same thing, if you couldn't find me, report to the other seasons, but don't forget to take my seal, is there any questions?" Asked Jack
the four female were quiet
"Good you are all dismissed"
All of them left except for Arianna
Jack stood up and went to the balcony, his back facing the snow queen.
"you majesty, don't you think is best to tell the guardians about this?" asked Arianna "we can use their assistance"
Jack sighed and his shoulder deflated. "you know they just fought a battle Arianna, and they are resting , furthermore, this battle has nothing to do with them except for Sandy"
Arianna looked at Jack with sad blue eyes
"Jack, if the balance is threatened everyone is threatened including the children, and sooner or later the guardians will be involved in this,…I think you're the one who should tell them about everything, of course if the other king and queens agree to it as well, in this battle we need all the help we can get"
A pregnant pause filled the area , Jack merely stood there looking at the night sky . the stars reflecting in his eyes
Finally after what felt like ours " you should go rest Arianna , you will need it"
"so do you your highness" replied Arianna, she bowed and headed to the door, she looked at jack silhouette one last time before closing the door behind her.
Jack kept staring at the sky thinking about what Arianna said. They really do need all the help they can get against their enemy, but he still didn't trust the guardians enough(except for Sandy) to tell them. Sure they fought together, but they only known each other personally for a few days. Heck he still didn't consider them his friends, to him they are merely teammates not yet reached the title of friends. Even if they became friends and tell them, how would they react?!, how would they accept this?!, what would they think about him? The real him? Would they feel betrayed? Scared? Angry? Or would they accept him? Forgive him? Help him?!
Who knows anything can happen in these months
Maybe he should talk to Sandy and his siblings about it , maybe then he would know what to do. He could only hope for the best.
I am not really satisfied with this chapter. To make things clear, even if jack was a king and had others with him they don't meet each other very often so he would feel lonely .
Arianna is the character known as the snow queen and Jacks right hand woman. she is the head of the winter spirits. But there are only a handful
The winter spirits help jack bring winter but each are assigned to specific places while jack bring it to the whole world
Anyue is the head of the wolves while mirai is the head of the owls
Jack has an affinity with wolves and owls he can see what they see and hear what they hear
They are like soldiers or spies
Fiona is the head of the yetis and they are in charge of watching over the winter forest and Jack's castle they are also fierce warriors when they need to be
I like the idea that most of Jacks helpers are females, there are males also, but most are females
I was also thinking of having a one sided love between Jack and Arianna . what do you think?
