FINAL CHAPTER OF INTRODUCTION:
Narrator:
Saint Nick knew that he had approximately 23 years left as Santa Claus, his wait was coming to an end and finally he would be able to retire, however, what he didn't know, was that the moment he retires, he will only have 48 hours left to live and his son would have 3 years 2 weeks 12 hours left to live, while Aurora's fate is to become one of the wives of her father's replacement as Santa Claus, Aurora was surprised to have met her future father-in-law. Aurora could not understand why did everyone say she was meant to be one of the new Ms. Claus, so she decided to let the events unfold to satisfy her curiosity. Aurora left shortly after speaking with her father, she went to gather all the North Pole's Elven-Centaurean Military Knight Division troops (a group of female part elves, part centaur, part minotaur with large breasts raging from XXXXL to LXL, who are also powerful wizards) to train on a forest close to the city where her brother lived.
Aurora:
"Everyone time for our daily training to begin, however from now on, our training will be on different areas of the world in order to remain as strong as we were before and in order to see in person all the changes there are across the world, we must expose ourselves in order to reduce their fear on us when the moment for them to see us as actual living beings not as part of their imagination."
North Pole's Elven-Centaurean Military Knight Division (everyone in the division speaking in unison):
"Very well my liege, but how should we act if we get seen by humans passing by?"
Aurora:
"We shall cast a minor sleeping spells on them and make them think it was a vivid dream, for those who love to write, your mission if such a situation arises, shall be to write a letter to them saying that what they saw was an illusion, a dream related to a theory they read recently, just a possibility for the future, if nothing like this happens we will be able to practice our stealth a bit more without any setbacks on the forest while observing them."
North Pole's Elven-Centaurean Military Knight Division (Speaking in unison):
"Very well, as you command my liege, General Aurora."
Narrator:
The entire North Pole's Elven-Centaurean Military Knight Division left to the forest near the city in which Aurora's brother lived in, after a few hours since their arrival at the forest, they came across a few women jogging through the edge of the forest, however, luckily for the North Pole's Elven-Centaurean Military Knight Division not a single one of them were seen by the human women in their mid-30's, they were passing in the same direction as the women, despite having to slow down in order to remain hidden, their back were seen without them realizing. The human women thought a herd of wild horses was following them, without realizing that it was a rare subspecies of centaurs running behind them, just as they exited the forest, they stopped and turned to look back, only to discover that an entire group the size of a small town of centaurs had been passing behind them as the elven centaurs had made a turn to continue running through the forest, the group of human women thought they were hallucinating due to their exhaustion after running for several hours, they decided to change their daily routine to a weekly routine.
Aurora:
"Good job everyone, we completed both parts of our training for the day, however we need to improve our stealth even more, it seems we still need to use our magic to conceal ourselves, otherwise we will continue to be seen when we let our guards down, those women saw us, luckily for us they thought they were imagining things and that their minds were playing tricks on them due to exhaustion. I don't think we will be so lucky next time; we will have to resort to magic to conceal ourselves for the remainder of the month in this forest, let's head back home everyone."
Narrator:
Aurora opened a large portal back to the North Pole, once they returned to their division district, they went straight to the shower rooms so they could take off all their training gear and get dressed to get back to their homes. Once everyone had finished taking a shower and getting dressed, each one of them headed to their individual homes within the district. Aurora was one of the three elf-centaur hybrids to live outside the Military District, she lived right next to her father's house, because of this she always had to either teleport to her house or take public transportation to get there. The technology in the North Pole was 18 centuries ahead of its time, the newest sleigh had the ability to travel at 100 light years per second when traveling at its highest speeds while simultaneously being able to carry inside it 8 divisions of the North Pole along with all the previously designed Santa Claus sleighs and every single living being in these 8 divisions plus all the elves in the main giant command center for the ride, it had the appearance of what the humans called a giant mothership.
Magnificus:
"It seems the time to remind Nick about the precaution he will need to take in 3 more months, and just like I predicted he began to think about his future replacement as Santa Claus while feeling nostalgic precisely on this Christmas Eve of December 1999, just a few hours away from the only time in which he will be completely powerless, the night in which I finally get to accompany him on his Christmas deliveries has arrived, time to get my suit ready."
Narrator:
Father Time changed his clothing from his usual white tunic into his Elegant Red Business Christmas suit with a Santa hat. Father Time immediately left without wasting time, as soon as he arrived, he began to sit down by the sleigh Saint Nick was planning on using that night. Magnificus kept waiting with a smile while taking a cup of tea, he checked the time and a few minutes later Saint Nick arrived ahead of time for his deliveries. Magnificus informed Saint Nick of the situation.
Magnificus:
"Nick, in a matter of a few minutes, you will begin to lose magic just for tonight, this is why I came here to assist you on tonight's Christmas Gift Delivery."
Saint Nick:
"Thank you, my old friend, but how did you know that tonight I was going to lose magic?"
Magnificus:
"I've known for quite some time, however, due to the vision I had, I didn't know all the details myself, I didn't expect you to lose weight besides losing magic, and your beard becoming shorter,"
Narrator:
Both Saint Nick and Magnificus went into the sleigh when all of a sudden they were greeted by none other than Maria Laura, all three of them went in and began the take-off for the deliveries. Both Mother Nature and Father Time helped Saint Nick throughout the night with the Christmas deliveries. Both Maria Laura and Magnificus enjoyed helping Saint Nick with the Christmas deliveries and then when they arrived back at the North Pole after dealing with a few kids that had woken up, they ended up waiting for the night to end so that Saint Nick could finish his recovery and begin with his Interdimensional Christmas deliveries. As time passed by while both Mother Nature and Father Time waited for their friend's recovery to complete itself, they began to talk as they began getting quite nostalgic.
Mother Nature:
"Magnificus, you should have seen the cute little girl sleeping on the couch as she waited for Santa, with the milk and cookies she had left for him. A cute little girl with black hair, a pair of braided twin tails, a red set of pajamas with a Christmas tree and snowmen as drawings on the front side of the pajamas and on the back an image of forest in the distance with the ground covered in snow, this was in the first house I went down the chimney and the Christmas decorations on the living room, they left me speechless, the Christmas boots on the chimney each with someone's name on it, the scenery far beyond what I had ever imagined of this tradition."
Father Time:
"Laura, you should have seen those cute little kids on the first house in which I went down the chimney, for the first time in my entire life, I felt the most powerful desire to have my own family, both sets of twins, all 4 of them waiting for Santa, Both twin girls matching pajamas with a polar bear design on the front and another on the side, and a Christmas tree on the back of their pink pajamas, the 2-year-old fraternal twins with cookie crumbs on their faces, the girl wearing a red shirt with an image of lodge behind a Christmas tree and the ground covered in snow, and wearing a set of pink pants with red and green dots on her pink socks. the boy dressed in a blue and white shirt with white, green, red and silver dots all around, and a pair of white shorts. The typical classic Christmas decorations, but the Christmas tree is a completely different story, the tree ornaments and the lights as well as the rest of the Christmas decorations left me speechless, in my opinion were magnificent, outstanding, graciously combined."
Narrator:
The conversation between Mother Nature and Father Time, kept on going like this for several hours, from talking about each child and how each one was completely dressed to the Christmas decorations from terrible enough to give someone nightmares about Christmas to outrageously great, enough to make someone want to specialize in the house decoration business.
Maria Laura:
"The Asian little girl in the last house in which I went down the chimney was so cute while she slept as I left everyone's Christmas gifts, reminded me of my first daughter when she was alive and at that age, I couldn't help myself with all the nostalgia, tears began to stream down my face, she looked so cute, and the Christmas decorations while they were a bit humble they gave off an aura of a strong family bond, everything was going ok until the dog woke up and made me feel like a fugitive as I went into the chimney."
Magnificus:
"In the last house that I went into, the living room was empty, there weren't any decorations, just a decorated tree with a letter to Santa on the table, after I read the letter, I couldn't help myself and broke the rules about not interfering with someone's fate, I made a special deal about the tragic fate of the child, and traded my life for hers, as I granted a single father's Christmas wish in order create a miracle, now because of this she will become Mother Time, after I train her, and hand over my job once she's ready, I will die and the Angel of Death will come to pick me up, I have no regrets about this, I created what people might call a Christmas miracle, I have informed her father through a letter that in a few more years I will take her away every few days to train her for when the moment arrives she can take my place and become Mother Time, while all this happens hopefully after my death I can join Nicholas in the afterlife so that we can hang out all the time we couldn't do to our jobs."
Maria Laura:
"You are joking right? You can't be serious, please tell me you didn't do it,"
Magnificus (Smiling):
"Maria, don't worry, please don't cry, this is for the best, time will prove me right."
Mother Nature:
"How can you be so calm?, why are you acting like there you have no worries?"
Narrator:
As Mother Nature began to cry, she knew based on her friend's expression and tone of his voice that Father time was happier than he had ever been in his life, she was seeing a side of him she never knew, she was quite aware that neither him nor Saint Nick were capable of lying. Mother Nature kept crying for a few hours, until she saw the interdimensional portal opening for her friend's return, she needed to hide the fact that she had been crying after hearing the bad news. Saint Nick was just minutes away from arriving at the North Pole, Mother Nature ran to the bathroom to wash her face and return. Maria Laura and Magnificus greeted Saint Nick as he returned to the North Pole, the deliveries had been a success, however on one of the Christmas gift deliveries he had to use a lot more magic that he imagined he could handle due to the special Christmas wish that he granted, he returned to the appearance of how he was supposed to look if he would have lived a normal life, which is something that shocked everyone.
Magnificus:
"Nicholas are you okay old friend?, allow me to help you get to your room, you seem like that special request took too much out of you."
Maria Laura:
"How should I put it?, you don't seem like your usual self, you look a lot skinnier, a smaller beard, semi-long silver hair, wrinkled skin, your clothes seem like they're about to fall off, you seem to look like you have been doing too much weight lifting and taller,"
Narrator:
Saint Nick had actually transformed into a 4-meter-tall muscular version of himself without realizing that he had transformed, the magical drain of that Christmas had done quite a transformation on him. Over the next few months, the hungrier he became, the taller he got, by March 2000 he had become 9 meters tall and everyone in the North pole helped in the examinations of Saint Nick, meanwhile back on Earth many things had begun to happen between November 1999 and March 2000. One Month after Saint Nick's replacement had been conceived many strange things began to happen to his parents, several magical phenomenons were happening, the first time since Kimberly Emilia Porter of Creed (A skinny 35 year old woman who used to be a tomboy until she got married, and started gaining weight because of her pregnancy, a woman who is 1.80 meters tall) became pregnant, she had gotten sick, but instead of throwing vomit soap came out of her throat, when she sneezed, a new toy appeared, when she coughed something turned into solid gold, when she felt cold everything around her begun to freeze, when she felt warm everything began to melt, every time her stomach growls of hunger she ends up howling like a wolf, after she recovered from each flu, when she had a virus throughout these 4 months, if she had a fever she would end up flying, if she had gas a phone would ring, if she had stomach pain during a virus the walls would turn to stone, if she had chills a chimney would appear, if she thought of an item the item would appear, if she thought of food candy would appear. Every time Emilia felt thirsty a trident would appear whether she was sick or not, doctors were mesmerized by everything that was happening to her, when someone tried to attack the unborn baby the elves Saint Nick had sent, the attack would fail, by April 30th 2000 at noon sharp the baby was born, by decision of his parents the baby was named Abraham Alexander Creed Porter.
