I Live At The North Pole

December 24, 2019

We had our final battle with Jack. It didn't go quite as smoothly as we had hoped, unfortunately. It took place a few days ago. We had all been making sure to train our hardest since my last post. The main issue we had to overcome was Jack's apparent immortality. Luckily, we found a way around it.

Since Jack could not be outright killed by us we had to settle for sealing him away. The issue was that we didn't have anything strong enough to contain him. The snowglobes Krampus uses are equal to his level of strength. That means if a monster or something similar is stronger than him and he tries to seal them in one they would be able to break out. Jack happens to fall into this category.  That's mainly because of the immense power he gained in the underworld.

We had a solution to this, though. It was to seal him away in the dream world. The reason being we are able to concentrate our powers more there. Meaning it would be our combined strength going into the snowglobe, not just Krampus's. The plan was for half of us to go into the dream world while the other half astral projected. This was just in case Jack tried to.

Krampus and I headed the team dealing with Jack should he astral project. Adam, Nukku, and Santa headed the team diving into Jack's dream. Martha was in charge of healing us if she noticed us sustaining any injuries. Duncan was in charge of fetching whatever she needed to help us. Adam suggested that maybe we should train a little more before trying to take on Jack. However, Nukku pointed out that the longer Duncan's family spends in Jack's mind the harder it will be to retrieve them.

We all gathered in Kris and Martha's home. It was a bit uncomfortable seeing as how they only had so much room. Nonetheless, we all managed to find a place to sleep. Seeing as how I did not go into Jack's dream and Adam did I will be reciting events as he told them to me. Keep in mind they happened at the same time as the events I was involved with did.

"Alright, so we went into Jack's dream. It was somehow even more fucked up than I remembered," Adam said.

"I thought you were let's say unconscious when it happened?" I replied.

"Actually I was aware of it all. Man was it cold in that scorpion worm thing. Anyway, we tried to keep a low profile. The idea was to find where Duncan's family was being held. Then see if we could free them without much issue or being noticed."

"I'm guessing things didn't go so well?"

"You'd be right in guessing that. Those creatures took notice of us sooner than we thought they would. It was like they had been expecting us."

"Jack must've made them more alert."

"We figured that as well. Some of those bird looking creatures tried snatching us up. Santa made a barrier to shield us while me and Nukku used our telekinesis to repel them. Kurz and Zah hit them with some lightning attacks which took them out."

"Nice teamwork. I didn't think Kurz had gotten so strong."

"Me neither. I guess his smartness gives him a boost. In fact, he was the one who located the entrance to the entrance of Jack's mind."

"Wait, what? How did he do that?"

"He noticed the monsters seemed to be coming from a single point. We fought our way through like a million monsters."

"Really?"

"Okay, I may be exaggerating a little. There were a lot of them, though. I got bit by those insect things like twelve times. Martha must have healed me, though because those injuries didn't last long. We found this big eye-shaped hole they were coming out of. It looked like some kind of pulsing abyss. We knew the way into Jack's mind was at the bottom of it. The issue was getting past all the monsters. Zah came up with the idea to create a distraction to bring them all out."
