Curse on the winter spirit

Summary:

Notes:

There are a couple similarities to the Guardians of childhood books, but no spoilers. By the way, if anyone is suffering from depression don't read this. Also there is some minor violence and gore in the beginning and end of this story. Jack is also 14 in appearance, but we all know he's over 300 years old right? ;)
Enjoy the story :D

Chapter 1: Last Battle

Chapter Text

Chapter 1. Last battle...

The fearsome Guardians of Childhood were once again in the middle of a dangerous battle with an army of warlocks! It was a risky moment and the Guardians had to know what they were facing.

A warlock was like a witch, a sorcerer, a conjurer. They had decided to try and rule the world with dark power and evil.

The Guardians weren't just going to stand by and watch...

So here they were ambushing the hoard of freaks in their dark and hidden castle, destroying them all within minutes. They weren't given a chance to conjure a spell...

All was lost for the warlocks, not one would survive the Guardians attacks...

The last of the warlocks fell to the ground after a swift move from the winter Guardian. He stumbled backwards away from Jack as the boy came in for the final blow.

"WAIT! PLEASE SPARE MY LIFE! I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU'VE ASKED FOR!" The evil warlock screamed, raising his hands in surrender.

Jack momentarily stopped. "I've asked for NOTHING!" Jack yelled and finished the man off with his magical glowing dagger!

But the warlocks next and final words would forever be unknown...

SLIT!...

The warlocks body faded away like ashes and Jack gasped as an odd feeling consumed his body, he felt everything change. He fell backwards with stuttering breaths and held his chest with his free hand.

The other Guardians rushed over in an instant with worry, the battle was won and there was nothing more to do other than...

"JACK! What's wrong? Are you okay?!" Tooth asked quickly with worry, standing besides him with the others.

North knelt behind him and held him up when Jack made no move to do it himself.

"It could be shock settling in." Bunny guessed.

Jack shook his head. "No...that's not it...he did a..." Jack stuttered, staring at the place where the warlock faded away.

"He did what Jack?" Tooth asked sternly.

"Cursed me.." Jack said, before falling into unconsciousness.

That one curse changed Jacks entire life, and that battle would be the last battle Jack ever fights for a long time...other then his own...
