changing future: book 1 through time

Chapter 5.5: Jack or Nightlight? Yes.

If you were to ask him who he was, he would reply with; yes.

He was two people in one. He is Jack Frost, the playful winter spirit that loves to make snow days and take children out for sled rides. But he is also Nightlight, the Guardian and protector of The Man in The moon.

He had two sets of memories with different personalities but at the same time were the very same. He was a Guardian through and through but he also loved to play and even has a very mean mischievous streak that's only rivaled by the holiday spirit of April fools.

The only difference between them was how they were raised. Where Nightlight was raised to be loyal and a soldier with responsibilities, Jack was raised as a carefree boy with his only true responsibility was making a life for himself.

This small trip through time was proving quite an interesting journey as he has come to terms with who he is. Both Jack and Nightlight...

Except for the conflicting emotions and thoughts that could clearly be classified as either. In a strange way, it was like having 3 people crammed together in a box where two were constantly bickering while the third person acted as a mediator.

And sometimes, that box would open and spill its contents as the two people argued and the third tried to placate to no avail. When that happens, he would be split up once again.

Tonight was one of those nights when the two occupants of the box argued. Jack wanted to go out and play and explore while Nightlight wanted to stand guard and watch over the small village of Santoff Claussen.

They weren't quiet in his head either.

The kids will be fine, Sandy and Pitch are keeping an eye out. Jack had voiced.

How could you abandon them at their most vulnerable? Nightlight questioned in disappointment.

Oh, lighten up! Stop being such a stiff .

I am not a stiff!

"Maybe compromise you two? We are one person." FrostLight, as he had come to call himself, offered, being completely ignored by the two still bickering in his mind. He let out an exhausted sigh before deciding to just lay on the mountain peak on which he, Sandy, and Pitch agreed to gather every week.

This was going to definitely take some getting used to.

note: Short.

Very very very short.

Just wanted to write how FrostLight is coping.

Truth is hes having a hard time filtering his thoughts and confused on which to listen to and sees it as Jack and Nightlight arguing lmao but hey! double update!
