I Live At The North Pole

October 31, 2019

So far no update on the Jack situation but to deal with it I may need the help of another friend of mine, no, not Duncan. I met him two years after the Duncan incident. I may go into more detail about what happened in those two years. This post isn't about that, though. I will say there was an incident where we had to stop poltergeist, one of the Elves got possessed, and to top it all off, there was a time when a ringmaster at a circus turned me into a monkey. 

I was stuck like that for two weeks before we found the ringmaster and forced him to turn me back. Since then I've taken a liking to climbing and fruit. Well, more of a liking in the case of fruit. Anyway, my friend's name is Adam and I met him oddly enough by helping to rescue him.

One night when everything seemed ordinary Krampus and I had gotten back from a rather long meeting with one of the social workers. We all headed to bed. It was when we were asleep that the weirdness really started. Me and Krampus all got sucked into the same dream. We found ourselves on a beach with white sand at night time.

"What the? Weren't we just asleep?" I asked, looking to Krampus for answers.

"We were. We're having the same dream."

"How? Is it some kind of spell? Shit, did I accidentally cast another one?"

"No. He summoned us here."

"Who?"

"The Sandman."

" Him? I've heard about him but why would he summon us?"

"Don't know. We'll have to see him in order to find out why. Follow me," He said, levitating off the ground.

Figuring I could fly through the " Do whatever you want in a dream rule," I attempted to do so. Unfortunately, I only managed to get a couple of feet off the ground before falling back down.

"Why couldn't I keep that up?" I asked in frustration.

"Do you dream often?"Krampus asked.

"Sometimes."

"There's your problem. Take my hand," He said, reaching down to me.

When I took it we flew up to find a castle made of polished sandstone. The inside of it had various statues made from different kinds of rock. I followed Krampus and he lead us to the throne room to find an older looking man with a long beard pacing back and forth.

"Krampus, you're finally here," the man exclaimed.

"I thought I told you never to summon me like this, Nukku. You better have a really damn good reason for doing it."

"I do bt first, mind telling me who your friend is? I don't remember summoning him."

"This is my assistant, Nick."

"So you finally got one as well huh?"

"What does he mean by that?" I asked.

Krampus explained to me that he wasn't the only creature to have a human assistant. There were plenty of demons and monsters who enlist the help of humans to aide them. These assistants are chosen because of some trait they have that attracts the creatures to them. For example, my absolute neutral morality is what attracted Krampus to me and Martha's charm is what attracted Santa to her. Although, in their case, they ended up getting married which usually doesn't happen when it comes to those situations. For Adam however, what made the sandman, aka Nukku notice him was how strong his dreams were. After Krampus answered my question Nukku told us that Adam was in danger.
