Chapter 6: The First Wisp
Hey guys, so this will probably be my last chapter. Reason one is that they are really short no matter how hard I try to make them long. Reason number two is that I have run dry of ideas for chapters (it didn't take long). So depending on how many people read this or not will determine this story's future.
Once there was a boy named Jack, and as long as he could remember he was alone. He didn't have a family and he didn't have a home. But one day while passing through a village, an old woman approached him and told him that his parents that he had never seen were alive and they lived in a place not far from there. Jack was excited and left immediately.
But, when he arrived the village was burned down. All he found was a journal of his father's and inside the journal was the story of how they had been trying to find him. Broken and alone, he searched for a sign that they had survived and found none.
He searched the kingdom far and wide for the person who killed them and several years passed making him feel more and more isolated and guilty. When he found the man who did it, he trained himself to fight and planned an attack.
His plan succeeded and he killed the man only to realize that the man was his father. Because he had survived and taken the role of the terrible man who had killed his wife. Grief stricken Jack took the place of his father and after many years of guilt and crime he died.
As he died, Jack's soul turned into the will o' the wisp and lead many a people to their fate. And every tortured soul that dies in the kingdom dies and joins his ranks.
Well, that was cool. Will o' the wisp are very mysterious and it seemed like a good idea to write about the first one. I was considering making Jack Frost the first wisp but decided that we have a lot of stories in here already. Look out for more about wisps because if I do another chapter that will probably be the topic. Thanks for reading! :)
