Chapter Sixteen: Tainting Purity
The Guardians had spent days searching for the Elusive Taint Darkness, however with two members having only a couple of hours a day, due to Teeth and Dreams, it had become hard work, so the group had split into three 'teams'.
The First team was the short span Team, Tooth and Sandy. The Second team, The Holiday Team, Bunny and North, they were the ones scouting around quickly all over the place, many places and very quickly. The Final team, nicknamed the Love Team was Jack and Jamie, they would fly around on the wind, using Jamie's powers to detect any sign off Tainting, as well as Jack's power at determining where Taint was.
They were currently flying over Burgess, Jamie clutching onto Jack's back his book floating behind, they could see Sandy's dream sand floating around them, then Jamie pointed,
"Tainting!" Jamie called to Jack over the whistling of the wind. And Jack nodded, their direction changed at once, flying down towards the tainting, There they saw Taint fighting against Bunny and North, Jack landed and then Taint turned to face him,
"Jack Frost, Jamie Falkor… welcome, I trust you know my newest Corruptee's?" Taint asked, smiling as Jack realised,
"This is a trap" Jack told Jamie as North and Bunny advanced on them,
"Great, Now what?" Jamie asked, and Jack looked around, seeing Tooth and Sandy join Bunny and North,
"Now we flee" Jack replied, grabbing Jamie's hand and flying off,
"Where are we going?" Jamie called,
"To Visit Mother!" Jack called back as they flew forwards,
Jamie frowned, who could he mean?
They flew for hours until Jamie saw a lush meadow, which seemed to calm Jack.
They landed onto the floor, frost spreading from Jack's feet. They walked towards a large tree in the centre until a hooded figure blocked their path,
"Who Dares enter the field of the mother?"
"I, Jackson Frost, Prince of Winter" Jack told the figure, then Jamie saw the figure freeze,
"Prince of Winter, why do you enter the mothers domain?" The Figure asked,
"To Request what was once offered" Jack replied,
"Come with me" the Figure nodded, Jack and Jamie walked behind him, into the tree itself where Jamie gasped, looking around, the was a large House here!
"I'll let the Mother know that you've arrived" The Figure told Jack who nodded,
"Who is the Mother?" Jamie asked,
"Mother Nature, Queen of the Earth, Protector of the Seasons Spirits" Jack replied, sounding rather more regal than usual.
After five minutes the figure returned and walked out, not saying a word to either of the two boys. After another minute of silence a door opened and a women walked out, her long Blonde hair falling over her back and her Multicoloured eyes tracing everything.
"Jack!" She called,
"Mother" Jack bowed slightly,
"And who is this?" Mother asked,
"This is Jamie Falkor, The Fabler and… my partner" Jack replied, looking her into the eyes.
"Partner?" Mother asked, "Why not Bond with him?"
"We have not yet spoken of it" Jack replied, "But we need what you once offered me"
"Help?" Mother asked,
"Indeed, Taint Darkness has control over the minds of the Guardians, we need help freeing them" Jack replied,
"Taint?" Mother asked, "You fear what he may do to your mind aswell?"
"Naturally" Jack replied,
"Come Fabler, you need not keep quiet" Mother smiled, "Do you fear him?"
"Yes" Jamie replied, his tone one of upmost respect.
"Hmm, I like this one; you have got yourself a great partner, anyway. Back to the help, if you like I can assist in three ways" Mother told him, "One I can make the Potion to help remove Taint from the Minds of the Guardians"
"That would be useful" Jack replied inclining his head,
"Two, I can summon the Seasons, to battle alongside you" Mother added,
"Summer and I don't get on" Jack replied, "But I think it may work"
"Three, I will ride out with you, fighting alongside you, but it will come at a cost" Mother told them,
"What is the cost?" Jamie asked,
"Fear, or its bearer will return, he won't be as powerful but he will be back" Mother replied,
"Pitch?" Jack asked,
"Indeed, Pitch Black will rise to fight once more, now you can either have all three parts of my help or none, which will it be?" Mother asked,
"Where will Pitch rise?" Jack asked,
"He will rise to stand next to his brother in darkness" Mother replied,
"Brother in darkness?" Jamie asked,
"There are seven, Fear, Anger, Hatred, Corruption, Lust, Angst and Lies, each represented by an immortal, Pitch represents Fear while Taint represents Corruption." Jack told Jamie and Mother nodded,
"They weren't in my book" Jamie frowned,
"No, they wouldn't be, We like to keep them hidden until we must face them" Mother replied,
"And what's Bonding?" Jamie asked, prolonging the time Jack would have to consider whether it was worth Brining Pitch Back to have Mother fight by his side, along with the rest of the seasons.
"Bonding?" Mother asked, "Is the Immortals form of Marriage, the Two Immortals share vows and the become bonded for their entire life, which is, Forever"
Jamie looked at Jack who was frowning, as if he didn't think Jamie needed to know that,
"But there are conditions, one: You'll share everything, your memories, your dream, fears, nightmares everything like that, Two: You'll never be able to love anyone else…" Mother started,
"Unless your Cupid" Jack cut in,
"Yes, Cupid. And Three: You'll be able to speak telepathically" Mother replied,
Jamie frowned, the only reason he could see that Jack didn't want them bonding was because of his past, and fears…. But maybe he could convince him,
"Who would have to perform the ritual?" Jamie asked,
"The Master of either Spirit, seeming to be Me or Manny…." Mother spoke, "But enough Time-wasting, do you accept my help or not?"
"We…." Jack replied,
Cliff Hanger!
Mwahahaha, do they accept the Help of Mother Nature?
Will the Guardians ever be free?
And will Jamie and Jack ever become Bonded?
