Chapter Eighteen: The Spirits of Nature
(At the Pole: Dungeons)
The Four Guardians and Sophie sat there, looking scared, all they could remember about their time under Taint was that they'd fought Jack and Jamie, however anytime they brought it up, Taint smiled and laughed, now however when they saw him she was smiling,
"Maybe its time you found out what happened to your little friends" Taint smiled
"What did you do to them?" Tooth asked trying to fly, but failing miserably.
"What did I do?" Taint asked, "Why I did nothing, you are the ones who beat Jack Frost to death"
"What?!" Bunny exploded,
"Yes, even when he cried out for you to stop, you did not and then I was about to kill that little friend of his but you insisted he should cry over the body first, then you slit his neck, leaving them both for dead, laughing all the way" a Voice behind Taint called out, the Guardians all frowned,
"Brother? I thought you slain?" Taint asked
"I Was, however It appears Fear cannot be slain so easily" Pitch Black replied, smiling evilly.
(Mother's Domain)
After a few hours, Mother walked back into the large room where Jack and Jamie still lay, she shook them awake and informed them that the other members of the nature clan would arrive soon, within the next half hour.
They quickly reached the meeting hall, there stood a tall figure with long copper hair and piercing red eyes.
"Holly!" Mother called, she turned and smiled to her,
"Mother" Holly smiled, bowing slightly, She then saw Jack and Jamie, "Frost"
'Frosts' Jamie smiled in his mind, knowing Jack could hear him,
'If that's what you want to be called' Jack replied,
'I Didn't really like Falknor anyway, plus Jamie Frost, sounds sooooo cool!' Jamie replied,
'Frost is cool' Jack replied, smiling slightly,
"Enough talking you two" Mother smiled,
"They never said a word though" Holly replied,
"Just because you didn't hear them, doesn't mean they weren't talking" Mother replied as a huge gust of warm wind blew in, carrying with it a blonde haired and Green eyed spirit,
"Mother, Holly, Frost" He called to them,
"Summers" Jack replied, coldly
"Reece" The two women smiled to him walking over,
"Why is it I have been summoned? I unlike some, have an important job to do" Reece asked and Jamie immediately got the feeling he'd just taken a Jab at Jack,
'Hang On, Jack what's the titles for Bonded people?' Jamie asked,
'as far as I know, there aren't one' Jack replied, 'Though if you like you could just say I'm your Jack, as long as I can call you my Jamie'
Jamie blinked at this and then a memory came floating back to him,
**Flashback**
Jamie sat on his bed, having finally convinced Jack to stay over that night Jack at next to him, though Jamie was only 12 at the time he knew he felt a strong connection to the winter spirit,
"C'mon Jamie, you need to rest" Jack was telling him,
"But you'll leave as soon as I sleep…." Jamie started to pout, and that was an instant ticket to get what he wanted, now knowing the true reason,
"I Won't, how about this, you settle down and I'll lie next to you and sleep, deal?" Jack asked,
Jamie furrowed his brow and nodded, laying back as Jack floated over and lay next to him, after an hour, Jack was 'asleep' and Jamie placed his arms around Jack, whispering,
"My Jack"
**End Flashback**
Jamie blushed furiously at the memory, maybe Jack had seen it, 'Fine, you're my Jack and if anyone… anyone picks on you…. They'll have me to deal with'
'You'll need to get in line, Mother and Tooth have both already sworn that' Jack replied joking slightly,
'So Do you have a plan?' Jamie asked,
'For this? One, but its unlikely to work.' Jack replied,
'what is the plan….. Tell me… pweease?' Jamie asked, sending Jack an image of him pouting,
'We unite the 5 clans against them, the new moon is passing over head tonight, that's when another will break free, and when three are free at once, the other four are unleashed….' Jack told Jamie,
'What are the other clans?' Jamie asked,
'Well there's the Nature Clan, Wisdom, Holiday, Weather and Emotional' Jack replied, while watching Reece and Holly argue which season was the best.
'Oh… so do you know any of the other leaders?' Jamie asked,
'One or Two' Jack replied, 'One who owes me big time'
'Who?' Jamie asked,
'Cupid… She owes me for helping her…. Heh, shoot Bunny' Jack laughed,
'She shot Bunny with a love arrow?' Jamie asked laughing,
'Mhm, it started a relationship with one of the female Yeti's, great fun to watch, though when it wore off, not so much' Jack replied, smiling fondly of the memory.
They watched as a third spirit dropped into their midst, looking around, Noticing Jack standing with Jamie,
"Frost, By what right do you summon us here?" Rose asked,
"By the honour of the Mother" Jack replied,
"Oh and on what conditions?" Reece asked,
"The Fact that Taint Darkness and the Brotherhood of Darkness are gaining in power" Jamie growled, knowing that was what Jack was about to say, Mother walked over at that moment, smiling to Jamie,
"You argue the point well, both of you" She smiled to Jack and Jamie,
Jamie frowned as he looked at her, before he could've sworn she had Blonde Hair, but now it was more White than Blonde,
"I Can see you've noticed one of my Skills young one, I can change my form, to suit my own will" Mother smiled to him, to demonstrate she flicked a piece of cloth over her face and when Jamie looked up he gasped, there stood an exact replica (Staff and all) of Jack, though he knew Jack stood next to him,
"See?" Mother asked, almost perfectly mimicking Jack's voice, though Jamie could still tell it wasn't HIS Jack.
"Indeed, now… it's getting creepy, would you mind?" Jack asked, and the replica flicked the cloth over their head again and then Mother's features reappeared, smiling widely to Jamie.
"Right, so what are you answers?" Mother asked,
"You have yet to ask a Question" Reece replied,
"Will you stand with me, Jack and Jamie against the Brotherhood?" Mother asked,
"It might be a laugh, I'm in" Reece replied, "Plus I want to be right in the middle of the action when Frosty fails to win"
"Haha" Jack replied, frowning.
"If Mother is going then so shall I" Holly called at once
"As do I, Nature must stand as one when Darkness threatens us" Rose stood tall, "Plus…. I might be able to help in other ways"
"Such as?" Jamie asked,
"By the Way, who in the name of the Mother are you?" Reece asked, looking at Jamie, and frowning,
"I Am Jamie Bennett Frost, Guardian of Belief also known as the Fabler" Jamie told Reece,
"The Fabler?" Rose asked falling over, "Why are you here?"
"I'm with My Jack" Jamie replied feeling Jack inwardly grin at the phrase,
"Why hang around with him, he's so cold, you need someone hot like me" Reece smiled,
"Buzz off Summers, He's mine" Jack replied, drawing out his staff,
"ENOUGH!" Mother called, "Now then, Jack and Jamie, go rally the Emotion clan, Reece and Rose head to the Holiday Clan, Holly you can go for the Weather clan, I shall ask Manny if he will assist, we must stand United in this time of Uncertainty"
"Agreed" The four spirits said at once,
"What of your other Guardians, O Fabler?" Holly asked,
"Me and Jack are the only ones left, Taint has the other four" Jamie replied,
"JACK FROST IS A GUARDIAN?" Reece roared,
"Take it up with Manny" Jack replied frowning,
"Oh I will, What is your, Core is it?" Reece asked,
"Its Centre" Jack scowled, "And I am The Guardian Of Fun and Prince of Winter"
"Winter, ha!" Holly smiled, "Is nothing but a cold period between mine and Rose's"
"Or you two is a gap between mine and Reece" Jack replied
"How dare you!" Rose called as the three other spirits drew out their weapons and Mother grabbed Jamie and pulled him back,
"Here they go again" She muttered as the three went Charging at Jack, who jumped out of the way and flew up, followed by the other three, who after five minutes came crashing down, lightning Grounding off of their bodies.
"I Warned them" Jack shrugged as Mother shot him a glare,
"Hmm, Very well, you best get to your mission, if you allow it we shall meet up at the Ice Palace in two days to commence the Assult upon the dark Brotherhood that has plagued our land for too long" Mother smiled to Jack who nodded,
"Ready Jamie?" Jack called and Jamie smiled waving to Mother as he flew off hand firmly grasped in Jacks.
"They Never Learn" Mother smiled looking down at the defeated spirits in front of her, "No Matter how much you fight Jack he always wins"
With that she looked to where the moon sat, "Be ready old friend, the time draws near once more"
And Scene!
