[Ash]: 102.Jack Frost.04

Shyna woke with a fright and looked about the homely cave for Jack, but he was no where to be seen. She picked up her tired little head and pushed her long hair back from her forehead; she sighed knowing he was outside. The problem with that is he could leave unprepared for the outside world, or worse, go back to the village.

Pound! A great something hit the door and she jumped. With her magic she carefully opened the door and found Jack to be having a snow balls fight with the ice bears. Shyna walked outside and tried to think of what had just happened, he had summoned her creatures from the lake, and brought them to life.

“Well, Jack Frost, you are progressing, aren’t you?” She said in disbelief watching him smile and the balls of snow fly into the air with his slightest twitch of the hand.

“You think that’s amazing, grandmother, watch this,” Jack took a mighty breath and blew over the bears they slowly were covered in a think sheet of ice that was coming out of him, not what was already on the ground.

“You have learned than,” she said stepping forwards and sending the bears back, “that everything you do is controlled by what ever you wish?”

“No, it is controlled by that of what I feel. Now I feel that my child is dying and I need to save her.” He whispered, grabbing her arms, “I must go this moment.”

Shyna nodded and began to cry, she had never know her child, but wished, and thought, that Jack was what he was, and knew that that, is where he probably got his gentleness from. Shyna held up a hand and all wind stopped, “go, there is a pass there, to the north stay hidden when possible. Unspeakable evil lies near there.”

Without another word Jack ran, not thinking that he know could summon the winter to help him, he just ran as if his life depended on it, but of course it didn’t. But that of a young child’s did.

“Madame! Why are you letting Jack escape? Why is that bruise on your neck? I shall chase him down and kill him!” Yelled Robet coming up to meet Shyna, she smiled and turned him back into a squirrel.

“Jack is going to get Heart Wood, if he can survive the ogre on the other side of the pass. This bruise is from confusion, and no, you shall’nt kill my grandson.” Shyna walked slowly into her cave and sat down and realized what had just happened. Jack Frost had just recognized her as his grandmother, she now truly had family, well, at lest on that loved her back. This made her stop and think, you give a man a chance to save his life and he will love you.

“Um, madame? Shyna, may I have a quick word with you, it’s not that important, just the sickness is spreading.” Robet sat down and started eating some berries off the table.

“Spreading? How? I thought it was only to our familia?”


Jack stood staring up at a giant ogre with a girl in one hand and icicle five horses long in the other. The beast swung at Jack with anger, “me ‘ome! ‘Ou get outa me ‘ome!”

“My ears, your horrible pronunciation is hurting my ears!” Jack screamed back at it taunting it more, than it set the girl down. Jack did what he thought would work and froze the ogres feet to the ground, but he just picked them up again and shook off the snow.

“Me ‘ome, ‘ou get outa me ‘ome rite no!” He swung again and hit the ground so hard, that when he pulled on the icicle again, it broke. Jack saw his advantage and started to freeze the ogre from the arms than to the body, than the legs leaving the head out of the ice. “Me bodjie! ‘Ou frooze me bodjie!”

“Shut up!” Jack said freezing the head and walking over to the girl when he saw a large fireball hurling towards his head!

“Ice demon!” The girl screamed and pitched another at him.

“Fire demon!” Jack yelled in response and she stopped, “thanks for not melting me!”

“Go away demon, I protect these lands!” She screamed.

Jack walked to her with his arms out, “look, my chest is open for fire, but I saved you, would you really hurt me?” He stared at her for a minute than walked passed her and remembered something, he didn’t know what Heart Wood was. “What’s Heart Wood?”

“Why would a nasty ice demon want Heart Wood?”

“Because, I’m not an ice demon, I’m winter and my daughter is dying from the sickness.” Jack decided she was useless and kept walking away.

“I have the only Heart Wood left in my forest, to get it, you must take me to see Shyna the winter witch, so I might kill her and than the world will be rid of evil!”

Jack stopped and made himself a nice throne out of ice to sit on. “What gave you the idea she was evil?”

“She blocked the village off, it has most of the bogsmeed in the world, it’s rumored to cure the sickness.”

“Bogsmeed is used to make cough suppressant, it doesn’t get rid of the sickness. Second, Shyna’s not evil, she saved me, and she’s going to use the Heart Wood to save my daughter.”

“Heart Wood gives full health to everyone, how can you trust her.” The girl said walking towards him taking down her hood to revel her light red hair.

“Because if she breaks her word, I break her. That’s our deal.”
