After Jack agreed to go with Aster to the Pole, the Pooka tapped his hind paw on the ground and opened up a tunnel. "After you Frost kid." He waved a paw at the tunnel. With a whoop, Jack jumped down into the tunnel, Aster right behind him.
Aster smirked when Jack stopped for he knew what was at the other end of the tunnel, his Warren. "Is this the Poe?" Jack asked in awe as he turned his head in every direction to try and take as much as the Warren in as he could.
"No, this is my home, the Warren. We still have one more tunnel to go through before we reach the Pole." Aster chuckled as he began to lead Jack towards the mentioned tunnel.
"It is so peaceful and beautiful can't I just stay here with you?" Jack begged which made Aster chuckle once more.
"Afraid not star child, this is a spring sanctuary and, with you being a Winter Spirit, you wouldn't last long in the Warren." He explained to the now pouting Jack. "Besides, I think you'll enjoy North's home better. He is the Spirit of Christmas after all."
At those words Jack perked up, "You mean we get to go Santa's workshop!" Jack shouted in excitement, knowing whom Aster was now talking about.
Aster nodded with a smile as he messed up Jack's hair. "There is something you need to know before we go there though it has to do with who you truly are. Let's go settle under that tree there."
Jack eagerly did as Aster suggested, as he wanted to know more about himself. Aster joined him and proceeded to explain to him about the Golden Age, how it ended before telling Jack about his birth parents and twin.
"I know about my twin brother, Nightlight. He spoke to me in my head though he told me it is not time to meet him face to face yet, that MiM told him to wait until we are able to see each other. I just do not understand why."
"He just wants you to stay safe, we know Pitch is getting ready to strike but it won't be for another three hundred years. You see, I use to be able to travel through time before I agreed to become the Spirit of Easter and Guardian of Hope. You will be the one who will defeat him which is why we will do everything we can to keep him from finding out about you.
We fear if he does learn about you, what you can do and who you truly are he may either try to get you on his side or destroy you."
"Destroy…you mean kill me, but why? I have not done anything to him." Jack cried out.
"Because you are more powerful then you know Jack, not only are you the Spirit of Winter but a future Guardian as well. Both MiM and Mother Nature had a hand in your rebirth." Aster sighed, not really wanting to tell Jack who Mother was in her past.
"There is something else you need to know, it's about Mother Nature, before she became Mother Nature she was known as Seraphina Pitchiner and her father was Kozmotis Pitchiner though he is now known as Pitch Black the Nightmare King or Boogeyman. She is his daughter and since she gave you your powers over winter then she is your third mother, you could say, which would make Pitch your grandfather."
Jack drew back, the wind swirling around him, in horror. "The Boogeyman is my grandfather!" He yelled.
"Please calm down Jack, it's not as bad as it seems. Pitch is needed to keep the balance though at times he needs to be reminded of that fact. We Guardians don't mind if he creates fear with his nightmares as long as he doesn't tip the balance."
What Aster said made sense to Jack and he calmed down. Once he did The Pooka stood up, "Now that I have told you what you needed to know, it's time we head to North's. He is eager to meet you and I'm sure he has called the other two main Guardians.
If you were to ask any of the other Spirits you'll find they call us the big four because we are the ones who, mainly, protect the children of this world."
Jack followed after Aster, "If I am to be a Guardian in the future then what will I be guarding in the children?" He questioned as he flew in front of him.
"You really want to know what your center is?" Aster teased, Jack nodded eagerly. "Hm, I don't know if I should tell you."
"Ah, come on Bunny. Please tell me." He pleaded.
Aster pretended to think about it before he broke into laughter. "Alright, I'll tell you. You're to be the Guardian of Fun."
"The Guardian of Fun, really?" Jack exclaimed before he flew a loop in the air joyfully.
"Alright star child, get down here. We're at the tunnel that will take us to North's." Aster called out and Jack came back down to land next to him as they entered the tunnel. At the other end of the tunnel, Jack was the first to exit, letting out a cry of glee as he did. Aster simply shook his head in amusement at the immortal teen as he followed behind him before he dashed for the building not far from them.
Jack flew in through the open skylight and landed on the globe of belief while Aster came in through the front door as he called out for North to let him know they were there. He was answered by a booming voice deeper into the workshop, which startled Jack slightly.
"Was that him?" Jack asked Aster as he blinked at the Spirit of Easter.
Aster chuckled, "Yes, that was North. He should be in sight soon." Just as the words left his mouth, North came into the room.
"Ah, Aster, you back sooner than I thought. Where is he, you did bring him with you, right?" North questioned as he searched the room for Jack.
"Aye, I did mate. He's up on the top of the globe." Aster responded as he pointed at where Jack was.
"Ah, Jack Frost." North beckoned for him to come down and Jack soon landed to stand in front of North and Aster. "You're still a child, why MiM choose one so young?"
"Have you already forgotten what I told you about Jack, about who he truly is North. MiM felt it was time for him to join us before takes his place among the stars, where he belongs." Aster muttered just loud enough for only North to hear.
"Right, I am sorry I forgot what Bunny told me about you young Jack." North smiled as he patted Jack on the shoulder. "But enough about that, come I will show you my home before Tooth and Sandy get here."
Jack eagerly trailed behind North and Aster as North gave him a tour of his workshop home. "And this is the room I had the yetis work on for you when you wish to stay at Pole." North boasted as he pushed open the door to the half-finished room. The yetis working on it paused in their job to gaze at the three of them as they stood in the doorway.
"Don't mind us, continue with your work." North instructed as he and Aster let a wide-eyed Jack take in every inch of the room as he darted nimbly around the yetis, who ignored him as they started to work once more.
"What do you think frost child, do you like it?" Aster wanted to know and Jack turned to him and North, a huge grin on his face.
"I love it, thank you for doing this for me." He answered, he glanced at the yetis as he said thank you. The yeti just let out grunts at Jack's words as they continued to work. Now the tour was over Lord Milori insisted that he and his winter fairies must return to Neverland and invited Jack to come with them, which he accepted.
North and Aster watched Jack fly off with the fairies as they stood in front of the globe of belief. "So what do you think of him?" Aster asked and North turned his head to look at the Easter Spirit.
"He's quite something and will make a great Spirit of Winter. Has he met Nightlight yet?"
Aster shook his head, "Not really, Nightlight did speak to him in Jack's mind but has yet to allow Jack to see him as MiM ordered. I think MiM may call Nightlight to the MoonClipper for the next three hundred years, until it's time for Jack to meet him face to face."
Tooth and Sandy flew into the room right then. "Did we miss him?" Tooth asked, after her and Sandy didn't see Jack, slight disappointment in her voice.
"Yes sorry, Lord Milori invited him to visit Neverland and we couldn't refuse him to go, Jack is the Spirit of Winter and as wild and free as the wind that carries him." Aster replied.
Jack dashed around the winter side of Neverland as he laughed in joy, his face lit up in a smile. "This is wonderful. I will defiantly stay here when it is my off season and am not visiting the Pole." He declared while the fairies watched him.
"No Jack, wait." One of the fairies called out as Jack crossed the border between the winter land and warm land but Jack ignored her, the warmth not affecting him to bad, at least not the first half hour he flew across the warm seasons of Neverland.
As he was forced to land from heat exhaustion, a yellow ball of light glided toward him, as the fairy had recognized him to be a new winter spirit. "What are you doing in the warm lands young one?" She sighed once she was in front of him.
Jack blinked as he stared at her. "I just wanted to see all of Neverland." Was his reply, which caused the fairy to sigh. She beckoned for him to follow her as she made her way to the border and Jack groggily got to his feet to do so.
"You had better stay in the winter lands for a few years or until you get strong enough to withstand the warmth of the warm lands." The fairy told him before she turned to fly away.
"Wait, what is your name? I am Jack Frost." He asked.
She turned to smile gently at him, "I am Queen Clarion, it is nice to meet you Jack Frost." She said before she flew out of his sight.
"She is truly beautiful, do you not agree Star Child?" Lord Milori sighed in awe as they watched her leave.
"That she is." Jack responded, not thinking anything of Lord Milori's words as he turned to head deeper into the winter land. Not long after Jack had left the fairy lord at the border, chaos erupted in the winter lands and Jack was called to bring Lord Milori back to the winter land, as he couldn't fly any more. The instant Jack saw his wing he did his best to fix it but was unable to.
"I am sorry, I tried but cannot." He cried as frozen tears showed in his eyes.
"It is not your young Jack, I was the one who passed the border when I knew better and from this day forward let it be known that a new rule shall be made, there shall be no crossing the border between the winter and warm lands." He declared, before he had Jack carry him to his home.
From this chapter on I will add characters from different movies to this story but the character(s) will only appear in one chapter. The next story to be updated is The new Big Four, I am about halfway finished with the next chapter and will have more time to update now that my nephews are gone.
