~ Snow Fall ~
Author's Note ~ Welcome, to the world of fairies. Basically in this story, Jack is a winter fairy who never gets any visitors besides his friend Periwinkle and her sister Tinkerbell. Jack enjoyed their company. Yet, he was yearning for someone else. When he takes his plea to the Moon. Who will the Moon send to be Jack's very visitor? Who shall be his lover? ~
It was another day in the Winter Woods. And a certain 'Frost' fairy was bored beyond belief. Jack Frost had covered every Stick, Flower petal, Stem, Leaf, Tree trunk, and blade of grass in the Frost caverns. With the help of his friend Periwinkle of course. And there was nothing to do. Peri and Tinkerbell had gone to the frozen waterfalls to go Ice skating and Jack wasn't in the mood. If there was one thing Jack knew how to do, it was to have fun. Yet, Jack also knew that it was better to have fun with friends and other fairies.
That night, Jack was sitting on a tree branch that was above his house. The Moon shined brightly that night. Jack sighed,'Here goes nothing.' Jack stood up and stared at the Moon for a moment; not saying a word. Then he began his plea. "Please!" Jack cried,"I love Peri and Tinkerbell. Their company is wonderful. But please. Please! Send another fairy to come see me! I would be forever grateful! Send anyone You'd like! Send even a sparrow if that is what shall work! Please! I'm growing desperate." Jack was willing to do anything at that moment for company. Yet, all he did was fly home that night, almost in tears.
~ The Next Day ~
Jack was woken by surprise. "Jack Frost!" Said a female voice,"Get up you lazy snow drop!" Periwinkle. Jack literally fell out of his hammock at the loudness of her voice. Jack rubbed his head with one hand and grabbed his staff with the over. "Why did you have to wake me up so damn early?!" Jack shouted to Periwinkle. "Cause," it was Tinkerbell who spoke now,"You'll miss the Autumn fairies!" Jack froze. Autumn fairies?
Jack, Tinkerbell, and Peri all flew as fast as they could to the Pixidust Branch, which went from the PixiDust Tree, to the Winter Woods, and supplied the winter fairies with pixidust. There was cheering and excitement. Autumn fairies had always been fearful of the Winter fairies and tried to stay away as much as possible. Yet, after all those years, the Minister of Autumn finally managed to talk to the Mistress of Winter and they settled an agreement.
"Wow..." Jack said to himself as the Autumn fairies flew into the Winter Woods. They added so much color to the plain white. It was as if Autumn and Winter were reuniting as brothers. Relatives of a Seasonal family, with Spring and Summer as their sisters. One Autumn Fairy caught his eye. This fairy was skinnier from the rest. Who was this fairy?
Tinkerbell pointed the fairy out to her sister,"Look Periwinkle!" She said,"Isn't that Hamish?" The two sisters flew higher to get a better look. "It is!" replied Periwinkle,"Let's go!" In a flash, the two sisters were flying so fast, all Jack could see was the trail of Pixidust they left behind. Jack chuckled when he saw Periwinkle wrap her arms around the Autumn fairy, making the fairy spin in the process. Soon, the trio came down and Jack got a good look at the famous Autumn fairy.
"Jack, this is Hamish," Tinkerbell said introducing the two fairies,"Hamish, this is-" "Jack Frost," Hamish cut in, bowing slightly,"It's an honor." Jack was surprised. This kid was more charming then Jack thought.
That night was simply splendid, every fairy in Pixi Hollow came to celebrate. Spring fireworks light the sky as many Fairies from all the seasons danced on the lake of the frozen waterfalls. The Minister of Spring danced with the Mistress of Summer, Spring and Summer danced together. Queen Clarion and Lord Malory danced together. Then something happened that hadn't happened in decades. The Minister of Autumn and the Mistress of Winter, Autumn and Winter danced together.
Periwinkle and Tinkerbell both squealed at how adorable it was that Hamish and Jack danced together. The Minister of Autumn and the Mistress of Winter saw this inter action between them and both grew upset. Winter could never fall in love with Autumn. It was impossible. So, later that night before the Autumn fairies departed for the other side of Winter, to go back to Autumn. Jack and Hamish were called to speak with the two keepers of the cold seasons of the year.
"You wanted to speak with us?" Hamish questioned as him and Jack stood before the Minister of Autumn and the Mistress of Winter. "Hamish. Jack. Many years ago, before I became Autumn's Minister," "And before I became Winter's Mistress," "Two fairies met together and became friends." "One was a Winter fairy who wished for a chance to show the other what it was liked to have fun," "And the other was an Autumn fairy who wished to show the first what it was like to explore the world." "What happened?" This story started to get Jack and Hamish on their heels. What happened? ~
~ The Story of Autumn and Winter ~
Everyday, a Prince of Autumn and a Princess of Winter would meet together at the boarder of their worlds. This was before crossing the seasonal boarder was forbidden. The Winter Princess and the Autumn Prince would run to each other and embrace each other. They couldn't live without each other. Everyday, the two would take turns showing each other their worlds. The Winter Princess was always amazed that how Autumn looked so bright and soothing with it's golden amber colors. The Autumn prince was always fascinated at how blameless and pure the Winter was with it's pure white snow. It was indescribable.
Though, their happiness couldn't be forever. For one day, the Prince's mother and the Princess' father saw the interaction between their children and grew furious. When the children got home, they were beat for what they thought they were doing right. Winter was forced away, locked behind ice bared doors, never to see the world again. Autumn was put to slavery, placed under work and was intensely kept on watch, never to have fun again.
The Princess fell into depression. The Prince grew strong, but dull and uncreative. Everything was as if the world had no light. It was dark and dull. And there was no way of stopping this curse. That was until the Moon changed all that. Because of the Moon, The Autumn and the Winter began a war. Autumn had stolen the White Stone of Elsa, the main core of all Winter. And Winter had stolen the Golden Amber Stone of Anna, the main core of all Autumn. Then war and hatred reigned except between the Prince of Autumn and the Princess of Winter.
Soon, both stones were returned. Yet, war still raged on. The Princess was released from her prison cell by a guard whom worked for her father. "Hurry," He said,"Before everyone wakes up, we must go now Princess." There was a speedy tone in his voice, the princess moved quickly. Meanwhile, The Prince was released from his chains which held him and forced him to work. A servant girl whom worked for the boy's mother grabbed his wrist and ran with him close behind. They all made their way to the safe reaches of the seasonal boarder.
"We understand what has to be done," Said the servant girl whom saved the young prince,"You to must swear to each other a prophecy, that shall come true when you two are older." The Prince and the Princess turned to each other and cascaded each others hands together. "Creative Prince of Autumn," The Princess said,"I swear that one day, a boy of winter shall fall in love with one from your Autumn." "Fairest Princess of Winter," Said the Prince,"I swear to you that one day, a fairy of Autumn shall fall in love with one from Winter. Though, their relationship shall be hard and they will separate for a five year period of time. Then they shall come back, to be together once more."
That was the last time in decades, that they ever saw each other. As the years went on, neither of them forgot their prophecies to one another and cried to the Moon each night that it would be so. 400 yrs later, the Prince and Princess were claimed Minister and Mistress of their respective seasons. And that night, Two fairies were born. One with auburn brunette mopped hair and shimmering crystal emerald eyes and the other with pure white spiked hair along with shimmering icy baby crystal blue eyes. The fairy of shimmering green eyes took the talent of painting the leaves of Autumn. He became an Autumn fairy. The fairy of magnificent icy baby crystal blue eyes took the talent of covering ever inch of anything he touched with frost. He became a Winter fairy.
The two boy fairies were then separated. When the Minister of Autumn heard this, he demanded to see the newly born member of Autumn. Same event happened in Winter. When the Mistress of Winter heard about the separation, she demanded that the newly born member of Winter be brought before her. It was done.
After seeing the two fairies, the Minister of Autumn and the Mistress of Winter both went outside. "Please!" The Minister cried from Autumn. "Dear Moon, Mark the two fairies that were born to be separated with a mark of one another," Requested the Mistress. "So, that when the time comes, they will be able to find each other," The Minister explained. Autumn and Winter never spoke to each other ever since their prophecies were made and they never spoke to the Moon from that night forward. Everything was in the Moon's hands now.
~ The End ~
Jack and Hamish were amazed. They questioned as to where it was that the moon marked the two newly born fairies. The elders replied as to that the marks were on their arms. Then Jack and Hamish questioned as to who the Prince and Princess were. The Minister and Mistress looked at each other for a moment, then replied,"Alexander is the Prince of Autumn," The Mistress of Winter said concerning Autumn's Minister. "Willow is the Princess of Winter," The Minister of Autumn said concerning Winter's Mistress.
Jack and Hamish looked at each others arms. A Maple Autumn leaf on Jack's arm. A French Winter Snowflake on Hamish's arm. They looked at each other, then back to the elders. "Does. This mean. That Jack and I are?" Hamish questioned stuttering. The two elders nodded. "Though,"Alexander said,"Seeing as to how things have gotten. Worse. Between Autumn and Winter. We can't except that you two be together." The two boys gasped in shock. "Why not?!" Jack shouted. "Jack, please," Hamish said trying to calm him down. "NO! This can't happen! This won't happen!" Jack then flew home, tears pouring down his cheeks.
"Please," Hamish said to Alexander,"Let me stay and be with him." "And risk you freezing to death?" Alexander questioned,"I think not. Now come Hamish, it we get back." Hamish sighed as he nodded. As he then flew back to Autumn with Alexander in silence, a tear streamed down his face and fell in the snow. Allowing a small Frost blossom to bloom.
~ Five years later ~
Every year for the last five years, Jack was made charge of spreading blizzards and snowstorms. And he gave them his all. All his grief and pain that is. 'NEVER,' Jack thought rather loudly to himself as he swirled up the largest snowstorm the world had ever seen,'I WILL NEVER LOSE HIM AGAIN!' Jack's temper soon cooled down, yet flared up again as he reached the Winter Woods. Periwinkle and Tinkerbell tried to comfort Jack the best they could, but Jack threw them aside. Jack got home and just let it all out. He froze his entire house out of anger and he didn't regret it.
Then there was a light knock on his door. "I told you I didn't want to talk Periwinkle!" Jack shouted from his bed. "Um. I assure you that I'm not Periwinkle but I would like to talk to you." Jack froze as his eyes widened. He recognized this voice. The voice of a male fairy. 'Hamish?' Jack thought as he walked to the door. He froze for a moment as he reached to open the door. 'Please,' He thought to himself,'Please be here to see me.' Jack then opened the door.
The same familiar fairy that had been in his arms at the night of the celebration five years ago stood before him. "Can we talk? Jack." Hamish questioned a small blush crawled to his face. Jack felt a tear of joy stream his face with happiness. He wrapped his arms around the boy's neck and cried into his shoulder. "Promise me you'll never leave me again!" Hamish placed a smooth hand on the other as he hugged back,"I promise." They both looked up at the Moon. It shined extra brightly that night. Just as if these events were all planned. 'Thank you. Thank you.' Jack thought as he placed his head on Hamish's shoulder.
There the two fairies stayed on top of their tree branch, as Jack's feeling of joy, allowed for white crystallized rain drops to fall around him and Hamish. Making the site even more breath taking. Jack's joy and relief allowed something that hadn't happened in the last five years. It allowed a Snow Fall. ~
