Chapter 4: The Winter Warlock:
Jolnir's POV:
Topper and I were walking through the woods. We stopped when we heard a meow. I then took a look. "It's a cat," I said, "would you to come with us?"
"Meow."
"I'll call you Blinky."
Mogorb's POV:
He thinks he can get away that easily? The Winter Warlock will dispose of him!
Jolnir's POV:
We were going through the woods, but then there was a blizzard and these trees grabbed us. "Jolnir!" It was the Winter Warlock.
"So, you are real," I said.
"I've been watching you," says the Winter Warlock, "and you will never escape!"
"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... look, Mr. Warlock... can I call you Winter?"
"Mr. Warlock, if you please."
"I have something for you," I said.
"What?"
"A toy."
"Very well, but no tricks." He then tells the trees to let go. I then handed him the toy. "A choo-choo? I always wanted one!" Then he turned into a more humanoid version of himself. "You thawed my frozen heart."
"That's great," I said.
"But I really am a mean and despicable warlock at heart. It's hard for me to really change."
"Changing's as easy as taking your first step," I said.
Jolnir: Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor
You put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking out the door
You never will get where you're going
If ya never get up on your feet
Come on, there's a good tail wind blowin'
A fast-walking man is hard to beat
Chorus: If you want to change your direction
If your time of life is at hand
Well, don't be the rule; Be the exception
A good way to start is to stand
Winter: If I want to change the reflection
I see in the mirror each morn... [Jolnir: (Oh, you do.)]
You mean that it's just my election? [Jolnir: (Just that.)]
To vote for a chance to be reborn? Woo-hoo!
Chorus: Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor
You put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking out the door!
"We'll make a deal," says the Winter Warlock.
"What do you mean, Mr. Warlock," I asked.
"Call me Winter. If you keep bringing me nice toys, I'll help you. With this magic crystal ball, you can see all the children in the nine realms."
"Sounds good to me," I said.
