Hey guys welcome to chapter 2! Again as previously stated I will be constantly updating the first three chapters to improve the quality of my content, I'm doing this until I can get one or two beta readers to help me. So enjoy installment number 2 of WLDG. *Equane is around 26-ish development wise*

"Who'd ya love Frostbite?" The confused pooka asked.

Equane quickly recovered from his attack stance and shock while Jack stood there dumbfounded at the rabbits sudden appearance. So he answered for Jack by saying, "Oh, why hello, you must be the Easter Bunny I've heard a lot about you, to answer your question, Father was just telling me how he'd love to go out and visit burgeress or something along those lines, right Father?"

Jack, recovering from the sudden appearance, shot Equane a grateful and somewhat annoyed look and said, "It's Burgess," he said to his "child", "And how did you find this place Bunny?" turning his attention back to the pooka.

"I was in the neighborhood," came his curt reply, muttering something about a "wristy", then his face lit up in bewilderment "but you didn't tell any of us you had a kid! Now what's the ankle-biter's name?" The question threw Jack for a loop because he didn't see the feline as his child but as a little brother, but Equane responded again on his behalf.

"My name is Equane." He gave the bunny a curious glance as he saw his fur bristle but quickly go down as he addressed Jack again.

"So who's the lucky lady?" Was that a hint of jealousy he heard? Jack was quick to respond.

"Oh no, I created Equane from ice with the help of Mother Nature, I'm still a virgin!" Jack instantly realized what he did and blushed furiously as did Bunny. Equane saw this hilarious however and laughed as the two grew flustered. They both looked up and glared at the leopard which caused him to laugh harder as he clutched his stomach from the pain. To get him to shut up Jack froze his fur causing him to become so stiff that he looked like a life-sized figurine. Jack and Aster shared a laugh as Equane shook off the frost.

"So Bunny, you wanna see the rest of the place?" Jack asked, trying to break the tension.

"What your rinky-dink cave?" Aster asked a bit curious but with obvious humor displayed on his features.

"Well there is that but the kingdom inside wouldn't hurt either." He spoke it nonchalantly as if everyone had a kingdom.

"Wha- a kingd- Ah never mind let's tour the home first."

"Mkay let's go then!" Jack proclaimed as he stepped onto an ice platform, as they followed a portal opened up and the platform started to move as they stepped on.

As they flew through the portal and outside they were transported into a place where the cave's roof was so high it looked like a blue sky with clouds running under it. But the most beautiful sight was the grand palace that rivaled even Tooth's in its beauty as the frigid waterfall next to it raged next to them without a care. As they stepped off the platform and onto the winding path that led to the front door of the work of art. As he gazed at it again he saw the two gigantic domes at the front followed by the six impossibly tall towers placed at random heights. The structure sat in the bottom of a valley, though strategically disadvantaged if Jack had made this masterpiece he doubted he could even defeat the younger spirit.

"Strewth..." was the only word he could muster from his brain that just got leveled at the sight.

Jack turned, noticing the look on his face, turned smirking and said, "If you think this is cool you should see The Citadel." The Citadel is a temple within his kingdom, it was so large it would take 20 of his palaces to just cover the ground area!

Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Bunny as he shuddered due to the name bringing up memories so old few knew what they actually were. Equane unconsciously reached for the dark pendant, one of three that were keys to long forgotten items, hanging around his neck. Aster shot a quick gaze at Equane and noticed the pendant around the Youth's neck. It looked exactly like the art style of old but he shrugged it off at coincidence. I mean what were the odds?

As they entered the palace a quite pleasant scent he had long forgotten stirred his senses anew. He chose to investigate it later, returning his attention back towards the sprite as he showed him around his supremely humble abode. Jack introduced him to two other creatures, an Arctic Fox named Nick and Arctic Wolf named Abe, that held the title of Crystal alongside Equane that also treated Jack as a Father. Aster glanced at the three brothers all together, one each having a different colored pendant, Nick's being a blood-red and Abe's reflecting an unnatural light.

"So Aster, tell us a story? " Equane said out of the blue while passing everyone a beer.

"What type of story ya fancy mate?"

"Well an older tale since you've been around so long," the other three snickering at the silent jab at the rabbit's age. Though that was hypocritical.

"Hmm." he paused, "Ooh I got one, very few know about this time, about 60 million or so years ago, it was called the Seasonal Wars." This made everyone else's face go stone cold. But Aster didn't see this as he leaned on the wall staring at the arched ceiling while taking a swig. "There was a family that was the royal house of Winter. Winter being the king, his sister Joy being the queen, no relationship of course, and his three sons. The eldest being General Equinox Winter," Aster shuddering at the memory, "He was allowed to train under me with Winter and Spring's approval, though secretly since we were technically part of different army's. Next was Niklaus Winter, who was known as quite the fuck-buddy, though I never lay with him out of respect to his eldest brother and out of fear of two things. Niklaus's real identity and his brother Abraham. Niklaus was only known to be the Winter Phantom by himself, his father, two brothers, and me since Equinox told me," Nick sobering from his pretty drunk in state and Jack glaring strongly at the snow leopard whose head now hung low. "But Abraham was the beast of the three," he spoke causing the room to one again go deathly still, "His brothers held back most of the power their father bestowed upon them, but he didn't, I remember he committed unspeakable war crimes, they even made a universal law that said,"None shall under any circumstances murder the mother of young chil-"

Jack ended the story abruptly with a powerful and forceful tap of his staff, Starling him out of his thoughts. Jack immediately recovered, saying it was for being "bored to death". Aster laughed it off, though he was curious of the sudden interruption. After a minute, he just shrugged it off, Jack wasn't known for his patience if something bored him. As he sat there drinking, he remembered the scent he had caught earlier. It plagued his mind now, he hadn't smelt anything like it since he was a young buck. It was so haunting in its familiarity. Hit with his sudden curiosity. He spoke up, "Hey Jack," he looked over at Jack, who was hovering over one of the kids shoulders and talking lowly to him. Jack snapped his head up. "Yeah Bunny?" Bunny narrowed his eyes in suspicion at the quick response but decided to let it be.

"This place is enourmus, mind if I have a look around?"

Jack waved him off. "Sure, Just don't get lost." He said smiling.

I snorted, "Whatever frostbite."

So Aster walked down a hallway indiscriminately and waited until he was sure no one would hear him, then got down on all fours and ran, following the scent as if his life depended on it. He finally reached where the scent seemed to be emanating from. The scent hit him like a brick wall, overflowing his senses with need and want causing his pupils to dilate. The scent was of a doe in heat, ready to be mated. He slammed the door open to next catch an Ocean of Jack's scent, he was also alerted that this was Jack's room by the boy's clothes strewn everywhere.

Not giving a damn about modesty he ran practically basically flying back to where Jack and his three sons were discussing something he really didn't give a shit about. He hit Jack so fast the teen couldn't even turn to look at him as he sent the boy flying into the wall cracking the 2 ft. thick ice then pinning him to the wall while holding a serrated blade had against his throat, drawing blood.

"If anyone moves I will slit this deceiving bloody bastard's throat!" Aster shouted as he could see the other three animals bristling with anger.

"Leave. " Jack said in a strangled voice. The three hesitated but after Jack yelled at them they left, keeping their eyes on Aster the whole way.

"Why?" That word confused Jack the most as he dawned a confused look on his face. "Why would you hide the last female of my kind from me?" he whispered, suddenly raising his voice,

"WERE IS THE BUGGERING SHEILA YOU BASTARD!?"
