Mean Seasons 32 New Season (Pitch)
The Nightmare King's domain was different from his lair. There was a huge difference. Here in his realm fear was more than a feeling. It was the economy, the essence, the very fabric of the realm ruled by Pitch Black. Few enetered and even fewer escaped.
There were many sounds in this fear-ruled world, and as he surveyed his domain, the Nightmare King was startled to hear a sound that did not belong.
A child's laughter.
Specifically the laughter of a little girl.
"Who dares come into my realm with that noise?" He demanded, using his element to be everywhere at once. There was a soft chuckle, and Mother Nature appeared.
"Oh Father, surely you wouldn't cast me out."
He sighed. "Hello my daughter. What news have you brought me today?"
She smiled at him.
"The Balance, my father, has been restored." Opening her cloak, Mother Nature revealed the source of the giggling.
There stood a knee-high little girl, with suprizing resemblance to..
His thought process was terminated as the child stared at him, the most innocent and wondrous stare he had ever been plastered with...her brown eyes held an innocent cuteness that refused to be ignored.
He was determined to be stoic. To not give into the warm, fuzzy feelings that tugged at his very core. He was the Boogieman! He was FEARED! He was the King of Nightmares!
"Hi there! I'm Pippa!"
He was so incredibly screwed.
"She is adorable!" Pitch cooed, kneeling down to look closer. "Just look at her...how cute!" He did not know how high his voice had gotten until his daughter stifled a snicker.
"Yes she is. Father, of all things, I never thought I'd see you squeal over my newest season."
"I can't help it! She bewitched me!" he sputtered, trying to defend himself. "She...she's cast some kind of spell!"
Mother Nature smiled softly, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Father...it's ok to feel sometimes. Accept that even your dark heart...is still a heart. It can still feel."
He pulled away from her to once again watch the little season, who was now 'bewitching' one of his Nightmares, giggling sweetly when the black fearling nuzzled her over.
"She reminds me...of Jack Frost, disgustingly enough." He growled, trying again to feign toughness to save face.
Mother Nature snorted a laugh. "There is a good reason for that, Father."
"What reason is that, Daughter?" he asked, curious.
"She is his sister."
Pitch Black's jaw dropped to the floor, and he blacked out.
And that is how Pippa Overland Autumn Frost melted the heart of the Nightmare King.
