Hello !

I thought it was time to write something more lighthearted, the past chapters have been quite bittersweet, and I have a feeling it won't change in the next ones. It's totally out of the blue, so I hope it won't be too weird.

sparklehannah : Hello my friend ! I must say I miss your reviews (but who's fault is that). I'm addicted to angst, what can I say ?

In retrospect, Jack maybe shouldn't have done that. After all this time, he knew better than to mess with the other Seasonals, unless he wanted retribution that is.

It certainly would have prevented him from being in this situation at least.

"Care to explain why there's snow in my garden ?"

Jack smiled bashfully under Kore's glare.

"Sorry, it must have been... a mishap."

"A mishap ?" He flinched at her tone. High and loud, she was starting to lose control.

Bad news.

"Yeah, I didn't intend to mess with your garden," he scrached his head, "... it just happened."

By the way her nostrils flared and the sudden rise in temperature, it was the wrong thing to say.

"It just happened ?!" She screeched.

Jack had a second to duck before a vine ran through him.

"Wow Kore, I'm sorry okay !" He bent down before another one could behead him, "I was just passing through !"

"Then why my water's frozen ?!" This time he couldn't hold the wince of pain. Gosh, her voice was really grating on his ears now.

"Oh that," he flew higher to avoid the branches she sent him, " I didn't mean to at first, but then I saw your fountain and I just... couldn't help it."

For a moment, he thought she would call the Wind to give him the beating of his life, but to his utmost surprise, the attacks stopped in one go.

"You couldn't help it you say ?" Jack breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed to have a regain a sense of control, if her quiet tone was any indication.

"Yes." At that, he straightened up.

It may have sound surprising, but it was the strictest truth. When he saw her fountain, her majestuous water fountain, he had the sudden urge to froze it. No second thought, no worries.

"Fine." Jack looked up, not believeing his luck. Was she really going to drop it ? He knew she wasn't resentful, but still.

Kore had yet to move, she was watching him intensely, taking in his whole figure.

He had the unpleasant impression he was being undressed before her eyes.

"Next time, try to control yourself," long gone was the cold fury, she had regained her majestuous self ,"just because I'm not Aoife doesn't mean I'll always be so leniant."

Jack smiled in aknowledgement but didn't make any promise.

What could he say ? He loved chaos.

At first, it was a way to get noticed. If he froze their windows and let the wind come into their homes, surrely someone was bound to see him.

Too bad it didn't work.

Still, now that he had tasted the freedom, he wanted to fully embrace it. An electric line there, a fountain next town, and next thing he knew he was bringing trouble to the whole world.

He always thought there was some beauty in wreacking havoc. Perfect order was bland and boring, a vast landscape made of snow with no mountain on the horizon.

It was death.

Some people would never appreciate the efforts he put to enlighten their winter nights, they would complain, swear and scream endlessly. It never detered him.

If people fell, he would laugh at them. If they laughed, then, he would laugh with them.

And who knew, maybe one day they would finally see him.

Hope you liked it, it's certainly not one of my best, but this will have to do the part. Please, don't hesitate to leave a review, it'd make my day.

I'm still brainstorming on the "Big Reveal" chapter, what a pain. I think I may have an idea, but it's certainly not what you expected.
