Grim watched as his sister stood, leaving the room. She held a determined look on her face. One that promised pain to anyone that interrupts her. He sighed and turned back to the screen, keeping in mind of the bet that he and a certain autumn spirit held.
~Eclipse's palace~
The scene opens to Eclipse pacing his throne room, muttering to himself. A figure comes in and whispers into his ear before leaving. Eclipse watches them leave his eyes narrowed in thought as he turns back to the orb. He knows that something is going to happen, he knows not to trust him but he is the only thing he has left.
Eclipse: "Well, how about we have some fun, my dear, Jack."
"Wait, why me? What did I do for that? Don't target me!"
"Jack, he's going to target all of us either way." Hiccup grinned at his weirdo of a friend, shaking his head as they laugh at him pouting. He throws his arms around his brother like figure and shakes him slightly.
He walks out and leaves, humming a ghastly tune that holds a warning. A warning no one hears.
~North Pole~
Hiccup is with Thanatos, Merida and Jack are speaking to each other. Rapunzel and Eugene speak to Tooth as they start the training. VARIOUS of shots are shown of them training soon they're worn out except for the winter spirit and the red haired princess. Hiccup breathes heavily with sweat on his forehead. He glares at the duo's lack of exhaustion, looking at Toothless who just snickers at him. He isn't really all too cut out to be this warrior, he's an inventor who can defend himself for a bit.
Hiccup: "I'm going to go make weapons. North, do you have a forge or know where?"
Thanatos: "You can come with me to the Soul Kingdom. My Reapers have a forge where they make their scythes and other weapons."
Jack looked up at the mention of his home, his lips stretching to a wide smile. Everyone noticed the expression and smiled to themselves. The Guardians of Childhood held skeptical looks on their faces, not sure how to feel about that.
Jack's eyes light up at the mention of the Soul Kingdom. Thanatos notices and motions for all of them to come with him. They all go, their eyes wide as they stare at the place.
Its gray sky holds a few hints of blues, purples and pink, a bit of red and orange. It is actually beautiful, the air is breathable slightly sour (or bitter, depending on the person) due to the monsters that roam around. Monsters of Punishment. There're a few animals, the pets of the ones that actually cared, the ones who cried over their deaths and regretted everything. The ground is a type of smooth pavement, branching off and leading off to different parts of the kingdom. There's a beautiful lake, shimmering a glittering blue and covered with a thin layer of fog. All in all, it's beautiful in a creepy sense.
Many people took sharp intakes of breath, their eyes wide as they stared at the melancholic world that they found somewhat beautiful. Hiccup gaped with his mouth slightly open. He couldn't believe that such a placed existed. Will this be where he'd work at with Thanatos?
Thanatos smiles at catching the young winter spirit's love and admiration towards his home. Jack's eyes, oh how he remembers how dull they were before. He enjoys seeing happiness in them and he notices how being with the others makes him happy.
Flynn: "Wow, this is really cool! Jack, you live here?"
Jack turns to him with a grin and a nod. His eyes catch a soft blue trail and tilts his head.
"The Nightmare Gem!" the shout chorused throughout the theater. Jack frowned softly, he hoped that he would get to it before anyone else. Reapers were greedy and curious.
Jack: "I'll be right back."
They let him watching him fly off. His eyes shining in determination. The trail brings him to a part of the Soul Kingdom that hits him with heart wrenching memories.
A person stands next to him on the same hill. They are tall and slender, being extremely skinny as if he never ate. His bones stick out and while on most it wouldn't look good, he makes it work somehow. His silk cloak ruffles around, the bottom seeming to make the illusion of ink rippling. He has his signature scythe strapped to his back. The figure throws his hood back to reveal a dark skin face that holds two black as coal eyes. He seems to look at the winter spirit with a wide smile.
Reaper (laughing and giving him a large grin): "Jack, what are you doing here alone? Come join us."
Tears gathered in Jack's eyes upon seeing the familiar Reaper. The group noticed and Rapunzel was the first to act. She hugged him, followed by the others.
Jack (whispers): "Mortimer."
"Who is that?"
"He's someone that is really important to me," he said which everyone heard. They all looked at him and saw the sadden expression.
The scene changes, the Reaper is struck in the chest by a hideous creature.
Many people gasped in shock and surprised. No wonder Jack was sad. He watched his first brother-figure get hurt. They noticed the way the winter spirit's shoulders shook as if he was crying.
Jack screams and shoots the last creature, running to Mortimer, and he holds him in his arms. He clenches his eyes shut, shuddering as he clutches the boy. Mortimer smiles slightly as he slowly turned into silver powder. A soft and weak "thank you" is the last thing that is heard as the wind blows the silver powder back to the Soul Kingdom. A heart wrenching scream rips through the silence as sobs follow the cry of despair. The watery smile Jack had on his face before Mortimer passed, slips as he clings to the cloak.
They all flinched at hearing the scream and sobbing. It was a terrible scene. it hurt so much to see the pain that the child went through. How bad were these children's pasts? How could they endure so much at such a young age? How much more grief and sorrow would they go through until all this would be over?
He stares at the ground seeing the cloak and the usual Reaper attire. He kneels and gingerly picks the clothes up. A small blue gem falls onto the ground, eliciting a small gasp.
No one said anything. They sat with bated breaths, watching the screen fade to black for a few seconds.
~unknown place~
The camera is in a chamber, panning across as it shows blurred paintings. Nothing can be made out but something about it is extremely important. Small whispers can be heard before they get louder, turning into screeching. It was quieted own when an orb of light illuminates the screen.
Unplaceable, raspy voice:
Give and take is all they know
Their possession, priceless, they won't let go
One be taken, the other lost
Fear the being made of frost.
They sat there for a little longer, slowly everyone looked at Jack. Fear the being made of frost. Was it talking about the winter spirit? If so, why? Why should they fear him?
OKAY! I'M SORRY, I KNOW IT'S SHORT, BUT I'M GETTING THERE! It's been what? A year now? Dammit, Nightmare-wolff22, get your life together. I will not be accepting anymore song requests since I may not put that much songs in anyway. Also, theories! I want to hear more. What do you think the prophecy is hinting? Here is what there is so far:
Full moon will bring death
The evil one will take their last breath
Give and take is all they know
Their possession, priceless, they won't let go
One be taken, the other lost
Fear the being made of frost.
Anyway, that is it for now! Love y'all.
