"Well, do you like it Nyx the Forgotten?" Mabe asks.
"Well... it is unseal." Nyx says.
"Never mind that. What's this stuff made of Mabe?" I ask.
"Souls from the faded." Mabe smiles.
I look at her in surprise.
"When they fade, they die." I point out.
"Oh no... I had reached them just before they fade." She pulls out a jar.
I've seen a lot, but not really ghosts. Ghosts are too skittish. I don't really know much about them. They just seem to fill humans with fear and terror. Honestly, they look just like floating things. I turn.
"Well, look who it is, the young ice boy princeling." I say.
"If it isn't Ash, how is the kingdom?" Mabe asks.
"Fine Goblin seller. Puck, we need to talk." Ash says.
"Getting into trouble, are we?" Mabe looks at me.
"Not that I know of, but you know me." I shrug gleefully.
"No Goodfellow. You are not in trouble, but the Iron Court and others could use your help." Ash says.
"My help? I am from Summer not Winter." I say.
"These are... strange things to speak of." Ash says.
"So what? Come on whisper it into my ear." I point at my pointy ear.
"I tell no secrets, and I tell no tales." Mabe says.
"Come on ice boy. Tell us." I cross my arms.
"There have been corpses turning up. Goblin, dwarf and all other manner of evils." Ash says.
"So? What kind of problem is that? Puck Goodfellow has seen many corpses." I say.
"Not like this." He pulls out something.
"Ghay!" Me and Mabe jump.
I wasn't expecting him to pull out a head. I've seen a lot of gross, disgusting things but this might actually take the cake. This was disgusting. I place the ice cream in the holder that Mabe has. I didn't want to look like an idiot and puke. Its hair was turned to slime. It looked all crippled, and his eyes had been turned to stone. I see its neck and spinal corn was sort of intact. His head had been ripped clean off from an actual body. He was fey. I could tell that much but his ears were turning gray like his soul had been ripped out. I examine the head and look back at him.
"Ice boy! You've just been carrying a head around?!" I yelp.
"That looks disgusting." Mabe spits.
"What caused it?" Nyx asks.
"That's what I'm here to discuss with you, Puck." Ash says.
"Alright, alright, alright. Let's go have a look." I put my hand around Ash shoulder.
