I Live At The North Pole

November 13, 2019

Okay, so things did not go as well as we thought they would. To start, Krampus and the others came back with bruises and cuts all over their bodies. When I asked what happened they told me that they were ambushed by some Yetis. However, these Yetis were different from the kinds that we'd normally encounter. Apparently these were what I'm just going to call undead or zombie Elves and Yetis. 

The Elves and Krampus were putting enchantments on houses when they were ambushed by a horde of them. Fortunately, they were on high alert. They were able to counter the attack with ease. If it was just a matter of strength Krampus's group would have won with ease. Thing is, their attackers kept getting back up. 

Krampus told me that parts of them were missing. Some lacked arms, legs, and others had parts of their skin and flesh missing, exposing the bone underneath. Even when they took off their heads the bodies kept moving. Only by reducing the body parts to ash with either fire or electric spells were they able to stop them. He also told me that corrosive spells work as well since they can disintegrate their targets.

Krampus's group was able to put up a good fight but those monsters kept coming. Eventually, they were starting to get overpowered. He told some of the others to break away. Then finish enchanting the house. He and my teachers were left to deal with the horde while the other Elves finished enchanting the house. Unfortunately, some of them perished during the fight. None of the ones who did were teachers of mine thankfully. Still, it infuriates and saddens me to find out that happened.

Krampus has been taking it especially hard. No doubt this is that bastard Jack's doing. The only silver lining out of that situation was my friends were able to enchant the house. Then escape into it. Once they were inside they were able to use their magic to pick the horde off from the roof and windows. 

After Krampus's group had defeated their attackers they made their way to Santa's place. The Elf who answered told them that Santa and some of the other Elves had also been attacked while enchanting houses. I'm sad to say his group also suffered some casualties. On top of that Santa was injured. Luckily for him, Martha is always on her A-game which meant she got to work healing him, right away. Afterward, she attended to the Elves and Krampus.

"I know Jack's been getting stronger but how is he already able to reanimate this many corpses?" I asked.

"He's obviously been progressing much faster than we originally thought," Krampus replied. " Anyway, how have things been going over here?"

His voice had a noticeably depressed tone to it. I explained to him that I bought Adam over and his plan to attempt diving into Jack's mind, and possibly possessing him.

"That's far too dangerous. Tell him not to go through with it."

"I've already said as much to him but as he pointed out, this may be our only chance of finding out a weakness that Jack has. Besides, you said yourself that he has been getting stronger faster than we thought. What other choice do we have?"

"Do you know how hard it will be to fix things if this goes wrong?"

"I know. Still, Adam said he's willing to go through with it. Got any better ideas?"

Krampus let out an irritated sigh.
