In book 5 of the 'Once Upon a Time: Ever After High' series, Crystal Winter finds herself in the town of Storybrooke after escaping her urn. But when a winter storm is brought into town, everyone discovers that someone else is behind the cold, and w...
"Give up your immortality you say?" Gold said "Why would you want to do that?"
"Well uh" Jackson said with a small sigh "There's this girl, who I really like, but she's mortal."
"So you want to give up your immortality to be with the girl you love?"
"Pretty much."
"Ah young love" Gold grinned "I don't know what that feels like. But do you really want to give up your immortality? I mean it's such a big risk."
"I'd do whatever it takes to be with her."
"Well, if you must."
He then went to a shelf where he pulled down a bottle filled with a blue fluid.
"This potion will take away your immortality" he said as he handed the bottle to Jackson "And all of your magic will remain."
"So I drink this" Jackson said "And I become mortal?"
"Pretty much, you'll be able to grow up with the girl you love. But you must be extra careful, when you're mortal, you can die, so try not to get killed."
Jackson looked at the potion, knowing that once he drinks it, he'll be mortal, he be able to age die.
"And one more thing" Gold added "Once you become mortal, you can't become immortal again."
Jackson took a deep breath as he looked at the potion again, even though his immortality will be gone, he knew what he had to do to be with Crystal. So he took the cork out and took another deep breath, he then took a sip of the bitter potion which made him cough. At that point he began to feel his body change, it was like he felt the immortality being sucked out of him.
"So" Gold grinned "How do you feel?"
"I'm, mortal now?" Jackson said.
"Yes you are, welcome to the mortal life, where you can age and die."
"And I still have my powers?"
"Try them out."
Jackson then held out his hand as a snowflake appeared, he gave a small gasp as he made the snowflake disappear.
"I can't believe this" he said surprised "I'm actually mortal now."
"Would you like me to prove it?" Gold asked "Cause there's one way to prove it."
Realizing what he meant, Jackson's eyes widen.
"Uh, no thanks" he said "But thank you Gold."
"It's what I do" Gold grinned "And don't forget, try not to get yourself killed."
"I'll try" Jackson said as he went away.
As he went out of the mansion, Jackson took a deep breath as he flew into the sky and on his way to the ice palace.
Now with Jackson's staff, Crystal kept holding onto it while sitting at a table, everyone saw that she had a sad look in her eyes as it started to snow around her.
"Well there's goes the snow again" Elena sighed as everyone stood there a bookshelf.
"You know I really want to know what happened with her boyfriend" Olivia said "Something bad must of happened between them and it makes me want to know so much."
"I guess we'll never know" Aidan said "She doesn't want to talk about it, it's too painful."
"Yeah but, remember when Jackie said that Crystal 'didn't accept' Noelle at one point, especially what happened to Jackson?"
"You think Jackson could of something to do with Noelle?" Kim asked.
"Maybe."
"You think Noelle could of liked Jackson too?" Elena asked "Like maybe she, Crystal, and Jackson were in a love triangle."
"I'm not sure about that" Brooke said "Jackie didn't mention anything about Noelle liking Jackson."
"Should we ask Crystal?" Olivia asked.
"Maybe later" Elena said "I don't think she wants to talk about Jackson now."
"I don't think she wants to talk about him ever" Aidan said.
Everyone then turned to Crystal who was still holding onto the staff. She then looked at her snowflake necklace and ring as she shed a tear. She gave a sniff as she pressed her forehead against the top of the staff, remembering her old love as she felt her heart break, knowing that she could never see him again.

Inside her ice home, Noelle sat on a fuzzy couch chair while looking at herself in a mirror until Mira entered.
"Thank you for coming" Noelle smiled as she put her mirror away.
"I had a feeling you were gonna need my help again" Mira said "So what is it now?"
"I just need to ask you a question."
"Why couldn't you of done it over the phone?"
"The reception is bad in here, didn't you hear it when we were on the phone earlier?"
"Oh that's right, so what's your question?"
"I was just wondering, are there other spells or curses or something like that that can be a back up to get rid of Crystal? I'm not saying that my plan could fail, although I doubt it would, but I was just wondering."
"Well, if you must know, there is this one thing."
Mira then held out her hand as a bronze medallion appeared.

"You see this?" she said as she held up the medallion "This is called the Wraith's Medallion."
"The Wraith?" Noelle said.
"It's a demon that once you mark the victim, the victim can't escape from the Wraith who harvests the victim's soul."
"Damn" Noelle said surprised.
"Would you like to use it?"
"Well, I guess I can try it out, and if it fails, I'm going with my plan."
"Oh believe me, the Wraith wont fail, nothing can escape the Wraith. When your marked, there's no escape, so you're pretty much screwed."
She the handed the medallion to Noelle as she took it.
"All you gotta do it press the medal on the victim" Mira said "Which leaves a mark, leaving them in the hands of the Wraith."
"I gotta say" Noelle said "It's good having you around. Although, even though I would do this myself, since everyone knows who I am now, would you do it?"
"Me? Everyone knows who I am, and don't mind going out."
"I know, but this is about me right now, you're other people's problem. Just find Crystal, mark her, and then you're done."
"Are you ever going to leave this ice cave?"
"Only if I want to, but right now, it seems like a job for you."
Noelle then handed the medallion back to Mira as she took it. Mira then gave a nod as she went away, leaving Noelle to wonder if this will actually work.
