Sun gleamed blindingly from the boughs of the surrounding trees, catching
and reflecting every ray of light. Ice perfectly encased the buds that were
just getting ready to open along with their branches, and the few early
flowers had a fine sheen of frost on their colorful petals.
Jack Frost sighed, a deep smile pulling on his cheeks. His work for the
morning was done. He had transformed the park into a crystalline
wonderland—and had probably pissed off at least one member of the Court
of the Springtime Fae.
Bonus.
He stretched his long arms along the back of the bench where he sat and
surveyed his work. It was so good to love one’s job. Spring hadn’t quite
arrived, so technically, this was still the time of the Yuletide Court.
Everyone assumed he was a member, but he skirted the edge between
winter and spring. The Winter Queen was certain of his allegiance to her,
though Jack occasionally did jobs for the Oak King. It had been a while
since he’d interacted with the King of the Warmer Court.
With Ostara—or the Spring Equinox, as most mortals called it—right
around the corner, he had a feeling the Oak King would make an
appearance soon. This between time, when winter was just fading as spring
arrived, was Jack’s opportunity to shine.
‘Literally,’ he thought, as he smiled at the sunlight catching and
refracting in the ice he had formed on the thin branches of the nearest tree.
The flowers had been pretty before. Now they were magical. The buds
weren’t so close to sprouting that his visit would cause any actual damage.
The area he’d chosen was large enough that he could spread his power out
instead of focusing it in one small space.
For a few blessed hours, he could enjoy the warm satisfaction of a job
well done. Or rather, the satisfaction of being warm after he used his
powers. His smile hardened, mimicking the ice on the trees above.
How long would he have before the cold built within him again, making
his skin so frigid that the surrounding air would turn to fog? Would it be
days this time? Hours? After all these eons, he still could never predict it.
He would just have to find another area to coat with frost. Something
higher, perhaps. A building that his powers wouldn’t harm.
Or he could call in his favor…
No, he wasn’t ready for anything that extreme. Besides, he hadn’t
worked out how to word it so that when he asked the King of the Yuletide
Kingdom to pay up, the favor would manifest precisely as Jack wanted it.
King Kringle might have started out as a mortal, but he had been a fairy for
centuries now. Some of their trickery had to have found their way into his
heart.
‘To experience lasting warmth without losing my powers.’
It was much easier to imagine immediately after expending the energy
that had filled him with freezing cold. Jack closed his eyes and tilted his
face to the near-spring sun, relishing its warmth. Until it vanished as a
shadow fell over him.
