???

I woke up laying on top of a bed. It was hard and firm, and I couldn't tell what it was made of. It was like a dream, where you can't remember who you are. I tried to concentrate to see if I could muster up any sort of memory, but I drew a blank. Where am I?

I frantically stand up and start to run, when my foot tripped over something hard.  I look down, and it's a stick that has a crooked sort of curve at the top. I feel drawn towards it, as if it was meant to be mine. However, I had no idea where it came from, so I started to walk away. As I was walking, I looked down and saw that I was walking perfectly fine on ice. When I looked behind me, there was frost spreading out from wherever my foot had touched.

As I looked back, I also saw the reflection of the moon on the black ice, lighting it up with an eerie glow. I heard a voice that was like a soft lullaby speaking to what could have only been me.

"Hello, young one. I figured it was about time you woke up."

"W-who said that!" I said as I frantically looked around me, searching for the source of the noise.

"Why it was me, my name is Manny, but you would know me as the man in the moon."

"Oh ok. Manny do you know who I am?"

"Such a simple answer really, your name is Jack(Short for Jackson) Frost and you are the embodiment of fun in the winter."

Then the moon's light dimmed just a bit, and the darkness from before returned. I started to walk away, but then the wind picked up speed, and whipped around me, flipping around my face, pushing faster and faster. It eventually ended up picking me off the ground, taking me to a town. I guess this is where I start my journey.

JTCRAZYTIME THE MASS HALLUCINATION OUT 🙃

(The editor feels a sense of nostalgia at seeing one the author's previous names, and rather then change it, would like to leave it here in memory of the past)
