Visions

After the "Mother Nature" said to us to sit down with her, we did it freaking out a bit with her hair. The table was pure wood, decorated with silver frost drawings, the same with the chairs. We explained to her why we were there, noticing her hair changes. Later, she explained to us that her hair changed depending on the emotion she was feeling. For example, blue for constancy, autority and confidence; brown for stability, protection and security; purple for power, luxe and ambition... 

That was something incredible. 

"Well, guys, I know you haven't believe me when I told you that I was Mother Nature, right?" she told us, her hair turned blue. None of us dare to answer her question, an obvious one. 

We looked at each other insecure, and finally Jackson spoke:

"Well, Miss, we all thought that Mother Nature couldn't be a human" he explained hesitating. "We thought of it like a kind of spirit or something idealized"

She laughed, her hair turning orange. 

"You're so innocent, my dears" she laughed softly and she held a strand of her hair behind her ear. After this, she moved again her hands with a delicate move and appeared cups and a smoking teapot on the table. We all freaked out again. 

"Do you have powers?" Emma asked her amazed, her brown widen eyes looking inside the empty cups. 

Mother Nature laughed again and her hair turned white. Her emotions changed almost every second. 

"Dear, all of us have powers inside of us. The thing is that some of you don't have discovered yet" she answered to Emma with a warm voice tone, stroking her face. 

"Maybe I can do appear things" Emma said seriously. She moved her hands in a strange way and all of us laughed. Nothing appeared, she inmmediatly looked dissapointed. 

"It's not necessary that your powers are like moving things" Mother Nature explained to her, funny. "Kindness or sympathy are some of them that not everyone have"

Emma's face then lightened up and smile. She stood up from her sit happily and ran to hug Mother Nature. She looked a little bit shocked, but her face softened soon and hugged back. Her hair turned light pink.

"Emma, it's enough" Jackson said to her, seeing Mother Nature's face. 

"No, no. It's okay" she stoped him, hugging Emma tightly. "I've never had a sister, though"

"But how?" I asked to her, stroking my messy blond braid. "I mean, did you had a family?"

She broke the hug and make Emma sit in her knees. She looked serious and her hair changed to black. 

"I had a family one day" she raise a finger, and the teapot moved up under the watchful look of Emma's eyes. The teapot moved around the table, pouring the tea into each of our cups. Blue smoke ascended from the hot liquid in the cups, making a mistery aura in the hole terraze. Mother Nature lowered her finger, and the teapot came back to its place in the table. She sighed. "But when I became Mother Nature, I being separated from them. That are the rules in this world"

Emma held her hand with sadness. 

"Wait, let me process the information all at once" Anna started. "So, first, you became Mother Nature? Didn't you borned like this?

Mother Nature shook her head and her hair turned purple, once again changing. It was very distracting, actually. 

"First of all, call me Monty, please" she smiled to us all, holding Emma's hands. "Only a few people call me like that and it's weird to hear it"

We all laughed, Jackson looked at me. He was sitting next to me, and he held my hand, giving me moral support. He has always knew how to cheer me up. 

"Well, I deduce that you all know precious little about all this magical world and all that stuff, am I right?" Monty asked to us, with a funny expresion on her face. She must has had a lot of fun. 

"Yeah, well, nobody has explained to us propertly" I answered, smiling shyly. That woman paid me respect. "They just told us a few things and that's all"

"Alright, so, you are lucky to have come here" she laughed, her hair painted with all the colors of the rainbow. That was very weird. "Hmmm... Where do I start?"

"I have a question!" Anna suddenly shouted. We all looked at her funny and she sharnk into her chair, blushing. 

"What do you wanna know?" Monty adressed her, giving her a honestly look, indicating her that she was open to all questions. 

"Well... I want to know if the rest of you are people, too" she asked, now shyless. I give her a quick look and I played with my belt filled with weapons. I was thinking of that question since she told us she was Mother Nature. 

"If you are refering of the Sun and the Moon, yes, they are people too" she laughed in amazement. She should thought that we were so innocent. 

Jackson spoke inmmediatly next:

"The Moon is a person?" he asked her almost jumping from his chair, almost spilling all the liquid in his cup of tea. 

"Of course!" Monty said with a concern, her hair turning again black. "But the fact of the Moon is a little bit difficult to explain" she smiled sheepishly. "But I'll try my best"

We all "opened" our ears and put all of our senses in what Monty had to told us, it was very important to us. I looked at Jackson nerviously, and he gave me the same look. Monty started talking:

"Right, all of you know the Moon is a place out there in the space, don't you?" we all nodded. "Well, so, there is a man living there, The Man in the Moon, that we all call. He's called Manny, actually. Right, he has powers like me. Some of them are inmortality (wich I don't have), snow and ice powers, the right to name his Guardians..."

"His... Guardians?" I asked insecure to have heard well. Mama once told me that Jackson's father was a Guardian of the Chief of the North Islands, and I was kind of confused. Jackson looked at me, I supossed that he was thinking the same as me. 

Monty nodded. 

"Actually, he name Guardians to solve (more or less) the problems in the Earth. Do you know about the Earth, right?" she looked in the eyes to us all, like if knowing what the Earth was something indispensable. We nodded again. "Well, he had name the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and the Dream Man, so many years ago. When the Earth is in danger, like the people looses the hope and hapiness, there are the Guardians"

We kept thinking about all the information. We all have heard about that people, I mean, our mothers told us stories about Santa Claus, the Tooth fairy and all that stuff, but I've always believed they weren't real. 

"But..." Jackson hesitated, thinking doubtful. "My mother has told me that my father, Thobias Hiton, was The Guardian of the Chief of the North Islands, Annia Winter. Is there any relation?"

Then, Monty's face hardered. Her hair turned to the darkest red I've ever seen. She clenched her jaw for a moment, and passes a hand through her hair. 

"I don't know if..." she started, doubtful. She looked away, and then looked at me. Then, her eyes widened. "Oh my gosh"

"What's happening?" I asked nervous. I was started to being afraid. 

"Nothing, it's nothing" she declared. "I'm going to explain to you some more things and then I'll show you your rooms" 

We nodded again, tired. So many things in one day. 

"I've told you that Manny lives in the Moon and so on. Well, he needs a representative in this world to bring about his tasks. That representative is named once each hundred year, who will be the Chief (man or woman). As he has powers of ice and snow, he chose the North Islands as his territory. And for the same reason, he gives the Chief that same powers. So, the Chief Annia was the representative of Manny in there"

We all gasped. 

"W-what? I mean..." I was speechless. Completly speechless. 

"As I tell you. And, the Chief has the right to choose a Guardian for, in this case, herself, in exchange of something" she sentenced. Jackson looked at Monty, his eyes watering. 

"And don't you know what promissed Annia to my father, do you?" he asked, his voice trembling. I held his hand, understanding. 

"I'm sorry, my dear" she sooked her head and continue. "I know that Thobias and Annia are dead, and that the North Islands are destructed, and I'm sorry. But in that case, the Man in the Moon can't have a representative and his powers are minima. That means that the Guardians are weak, too, and-" she got cut by herself, a spasm ran her body, making her to falter for one moment. Her hair turned into a very off tone of grey. We all ran to her chair and kneeled down. She suddenly opened her eyes, widened, with a light purple tone. 

"Are you okay?" I asked to her, when her eye color came to her normal green again. We all were very worried. 

She was breathing heavily, and she tryed speaking her best:

"I've just have a vision" she hold her hands and situated them in her chest, her hole body trembling. Her hair turned red. She looked for something in the room, and then, her eyes stopped in mines. She kept looking at me, and then at Jackson, and me again. Her eyes were watering so hard. "I'm going to call Flynn. He'll guide you to your rooms" she hit the floor two times with her shoe, and Flynn appeared after a few minutes.

"Monty?" he asked her in worry, and ran to her. 

"Don't worry, Flynn, I'm okay" she smiled weakly to him. "Take them to their rooms, please"

He nodded and kissed her cheeck. He indicated us with a head move that we should follow him, and we started walking. 

"Elsa" suddenly, Monty called my name. We all stoped and turned around. "You stay here, I've got to talk to you. Alone"
