Santa had sent for his best elf to go along with him and I to the dark masters castle deep in the underbelly of the mountains south of the pole. "Now tom i am not going to be able to take you all the way my Christmas magic cant handle that much evil, but Ervin will be able to stay by your side the whole way." "All right Santa" Santa took Ervin to the side and whispered something into his big old ears and then we were off. Santa flew us as far as he could to the mountains leading to the castle and dropped us off there. "Take care you two and good luck" "Bye Santa and dont worry we will be fine" "Speak for yourself, i am actually chilled to the bone about this" Ervin whispered under his breath. "Whats that?" "Umm erm nothing lets go." We ventured into the cold mountains as a strong blizzard blew at us as though to keep us away. "So" cough cough "Ervin how far up do we have to go?" "No one really knows but i am sure it cant be that far, what I do know for sure is that we have to search for the one open space were no living thing dare grow or enter." "Whys that?" I asked curiously Because its the entrance to the castle of hatred" "Forget I even asked" We continued for what seemed like endless hours until we heard an eerie bone-chilling roar just ahead of us "w..Whats that?" I asked feeling a long cold shiver run down my spine as though someone had just stepped on my grave. "I am not really sure but I think its the winter man" he said snobbishly "Th..the who?" I asked clearly not understanding. "the winter man, he lives in the snow and hunts down anything he can to eat." "some say he use to be king of the castle that the dark one now holds power over and once the dark one took control the king was transformed by his own hatred into a creature most vile and putrid." "can he be turned back" "its possible but it would take so much power it seems almost mission impossible" we continued to climb until we were staring at the beast straight in the eyes "AHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs falling back into the snow as the creature came tumbling towards us like an injured child. Ervin and I hid around the corner for a few minuets watching the beast but he wouldn't move. "do..do you think his dead?" I asked as cold sweet dripped down my face. "I don't know, maybe you should go check" Ervin said real smart like "yea I guess I might as well" I stood up and slowly moved towards the beast cautiously and rolled it onto its back. its eyes were frozen shut and a spotted a red Bloch on its leg so I investigated and found a large chunk of stone slicing open its leg. without thought I built up all my strength and dragged the beast into a slightly sheltered area. "Ervin do you have anything first aid wise?" "I think so but why have you brought that thing closer to us when it wakes up it will eat us" "I dont think so I just have a feeling that mabe..just maybe it isn't all that bad" Ervin dug around his pack and found a roll of bandage while I pulled the stone from the beasts' leg it whelped a little but it was to weak to do anything. After bandaging its leg and building a small fire to camp by that night everything seemed to become peaceful around us and so we slowly drifted off to the land of nod.
