Chapter Three: The Balance Meets
Days till the Trickster escapes: 4
It Had been a day since The Bells had been sounded and nearly all of the spirits had gathered, The Guardian's looked around the large hall and smiled at the amount of spirits,
There was three of the Four Season spirits (Jack being the missing one), Prince Reece Summers, Prince of Summer, he stood tall having flaming red hair and piercing Oranges eyes, he wore a red leather Jacket and black trousers. Princess Rose Autumns, Princess of Autumn. She was sitting down, her long Golden hair and Brown eyes made her seem almost human, but she wore a dress made of fallen leaves. Sitting next to her and talking with her was Princess Dawn Springs, Princess of Spring, her Green hair and eyes made her almost blend into the green dress she wore. North scowled as he noticed none of them had realised Jack was missing.
Next in the Guardian's view Was Pitch Black, he stood alone in the hall, scowling at all the other spirits, he wore his traditional black robe and had his arms crossed, he particular scowled at two of the spirits in the room, Manny and Anny, who wore white and Black robes and Hood respectively. The Guardian's were in awe when Manny had descended amongst the spirits.
Next to Pitch was Galactica, the Spirit of the Heavan's. She stood upright and wore a long purple dress with star shaped diamonds sewn onto it. she had long black hair and when she opened them, she revealed her crimson eyes. Next to her was Father Time, the Spirit of Time itself. He wore an old white robe with numerous pockets that contained many pocket watches. After them Came, Cupid, The Master of Love, Allacath, Prince of Madness, Cathalla, Princess of Order and Allastor, Prince of Lust.
"Wonder when Gaia will arrive?" Came Cupid's voice,
"She will return when her business is completed" Manny replied,
"What could be more important than the balance meeting?" Reece asked,
"A Member of the Balance being in Grave danger" Galactica replied, "More specifically, someone from your Balance circle if I'm not mistaken"
This time Pitch seemed to show an interest, muttering to himself, "Summer, Spring, Autumn and Winter... Winter... Frost!"
"Wait, where is Frost?" Rose asked, looking around,
"Probably throwing Snow at some mortals" Reece chuckled darkly.
The Talk died down until Manny leaned forward along with Galactica and Father Time, "Wait here, we will be right back!" With that the three spirits charged out of the room and The Guardian's shared a glance, they feared for what Gaia had found.
(Outside)
The Four Most powerful spirits gathered, one carrying a younger, weaker spirit.
"I found him a mile from his castle, he grows weaker by the second" Natura told the four, looking down at Jack, his skin more grey than white, his hair seemed be losing its colour as much as his face,
"I Can sustain him for a few days" Manny told them, "He will remain in this state, with his current power, but I cannot bring him back to what he should be, Only the Truest form of our Both his Lives can do this"
"He is one of the Spirits to experience two lives, for both to end in death seems illogical, but there are many paths, only two lead to our success, and he must remain alive" Father Time told them dreamily.
"What of his staff?" Galactica asked, Knowning the quartet of Seasons used weapons to channel there powers,
"It is either in ruins or has been lost in the rubble of his castle, I could look for it but it would take many days" Natura replied,
"Then We must focus on those that can fight, Jack maybe able to join us if he can but for now, we need to go to battle without Winter" Anny appeared behind them,
"But without a full Balance we cannot fight the Trickster!" Natura replied,
"That is Mothers concern clouding your view, we five are powerful enough to face the Trickster toe-to-toe, but add in the all the spirits waiting inside then we will win with ease! They just need... a little training" Anny replied,
"I..." Natura began, "I guess you are correct, my instincts have been covering my view, we must hide Jack so no-one loses hope in Winter, and prepare to face him!"
"This May not be wise but I agree, we need to keep them motivated, if they know we have lost a Spirit, A PRINCE and GUARDIAN no less... they will be worried" Manny nodded,
"I Fear I cannot use some of my usual powers, they are kept by the seasonal balance and it is lost now..." Natura told them as they walked in, The North wind blowing weakly as it came close to blowing its last. Manny Carried his youngest Guardian towards a private area of the hall and placed him down on a stone plinth.
"I am sorry for the pain I have caused, and will yet to cause"

"JAAAAAAAAAAAMIE?" Came a certain voice Jamie knew too well,
"What up squirt?" Jamie walked over to his door and opened it,
"Moms gone out and she said you had to watch me!" Sophie told him,
"Fine, what do you want me to do?" Jamie asked looking down at her, a playful gleam in his eye.
" I Want to see the crystal!" Sophie giggled, and Jamie rolled his eyes, Sophie always wanted to see it, then again, if Sophie had one day found a strange crystal with a snowflake in the centre in her room, Jamie would want to see it.
Jamie walked over to his shelf and picked it up he was always extra careful when handling it but this time, a small gust of wind blew the book next to it, opening at a page labelled, Seasonal Beings.
"Huh, Didn't realise I still had this" Jamie picked it up and looked at his own familiar childish handwriting at the edges.
Remember... J... ost.
Jamie frowned, J. Ost? Who or what was J. Ost?
Jamie had a feeling it was something important, but he couldn't think why he decided to put it out of his mind as he watched Sophie playing with the crystal, which Jamie could have swarn was larger a few days ago...
Done!
BTW a Little bit of important info: This is set 8 Years after the film, so Jamie is 18.
Hope you enjoyed, see you all later!
