Hi :D
This is quite a short chappie and its kinda a filler chappie next chappie is the actual fight :D
just be patient and stick with me :)
Anyway if you think it deserves one the please leave a review!
As soon as they had entered Africa the summer winds had sought Jack out (sensing his being another season spirit) and when he inquired where he could find Aurelia, the wind picked up the sleigh and its passengers was carrying them along in its currents.
Soon a golden palace appeared in the distance and due to the winds speed they were soon knocking on the huge golden doors.
A girl with golden hair and a stunning smile opened the door and upon seeing Jack launched herself from the doorway and pulled him into a hug. Jack who usually rejected any physical contact happily hugged the girl back.
"You must be Aurelia." North beamed at the girl, who then sent a huge smile back.
"Yep, Aurelia Caldor, spirit of summer at your service." Aurelia half curtsied and then beckoned them into her home.
Jack quietly followed the other Guardians through Aurelia's home, the heat of the place was beginning to affect his ice-cold body and he was sweating and shaking, knowing that the Guardians would fuss if they realised that he was suffering from the heat he said nothing just followed them shakily.
"Just in here, we will be able to talk properly in here and there will refreshments." Aurelia led them into a beautiful room, complete with a roaring fire and hanging above it a enchanting picture of an African safari.
"Here is Phoenix with the food." Jack laughed as North leant forward in his chair eagerly awaiting the food, when they returned to the Pole they would have to talk to North about dieting.
A slim woman entered the room and set down the tray full of pastries and cakes before exiting again. Jack couldn't help but stare at her hair, it seemed to have every shade of red, orange and yellow in it, when the sun caught her hair it honestly looked like some one had set her hair on fire.
Soon though his attention was captured by the delicious smell wafting from the tray.
"So what brings you all the way out to Africa?"
"Well to start from the beginning, Jack recently told us that you helped him too recover from an attack by a fellow season spirit…" Tooth began to speak and as she mentioned the fight Aurelia's face darkened and her amazing smile vanished as she remembered.
"…now we plan to find Alex and warn him against harming Jack or any other season spirit ever again." Tooth gazed directly at Aurelia as though daring her to disagree with their plan. "I agree, Alex should have been taught this a long time ago but he never was and now we should make up for that." Aurelia smiled again and this time her smile spoke more of danger and pain not so much of sun and summer.
The talk continued long into the day but Jack zoned out somewhat as he tried to keep his body cool. He was now sweating profusely and shaking as though suffering from an electric shock, luckily (or unluckily which ever way you looked at it) none of the Guardians noticed Jack's discomfort and he was left squirming in a growing puddle of his sweat.
"Good so now we know where Alex is and now we just need to suit up an then we are off!" Aurelia's melodic voice disrupted Jack from his thoughts and he jerked upright in his chair.
"I was listening I promise." This swift assurance of his attention only served to amuse the Guardians who again didn't notice Jack's physical condition.
"Okay so has everyone got weapons? Good then just wait here while I get my own." Aurelia slipped from the room, leaving it in silence.
"Hey guys you know we could just leave Alex alone, I mean it was several centuries ago I've practically forgotten about it." Jack made one last ditch effort to stop the Guardians but like his many other attempts they laughed and promised that he would be able to get revenge.
Soon Aurelia returned, covered head to toe in weapons, swords, arrows, daggers, small bombs even poisoned darts!
"Little over prepared Lia don't you think?" Jack stared at Aurelia in a mix of horror and amazement.
"Better over prepared then dead from being under prepared." Aurelia stated with a small smirk. Jack hummed with a matching smirk.
"Where actually is Alex though, I think I missed that bit..." Jack scuffed his bare foot against the wooden floor sheepishly.
"A small town in England." Aurelia managed to get out in between laughs.
"Enough chat, ve go through portal to England." North left no time for argument as he immediately pulled out a snow globe and whispered.
"I say Daventry, England."
So yea quite short :( next chappie should be longer and Alex will get the stuffing knocked out of him (maybe)
So please leave a review they really cheer me up :)
Next chappie should be up soon…
