The Frost Heart

None Time

A chill suddenly felt as the pink light wave had already spread out. The atmosphere around him suddenly gripped, for some reason. The dark color of the night turns purple and the moon color turns pink. Everything changes without any sign or happening. A kind of fart that suddenly comes when with a road together doi.

"They really failed to kill him, well..." Mary looked sad when she saw the moon was suddenly pink.

After thrashing in pain, he was still lying on top of the rough paving, the courtyard of the former warehouse. He had almost no more energy to stand up psychologically, grieving for something related to the strange phenomenon.

Mary then remembered Jack who was nearby. Mary didn't check on the boy after the pink wave. Because he concluded, that the child was already exposed to the effects of the wave beam.

"Well, I wanted to take the boy to the hidden land. If I do, there will be a time hole in the place where he stands..."

Then Mary tried to sit down first before standing up.

"So you know this strange phenomenon?"

The voice of a man growing up was heard in Mary's ears. Mary then opened in shock, almost falling to her feet, and then looked directly at the source of her voice. How surprised Mary when she saw Jack standing in good health without any weakness.

"You..you don't freeze?" Mary stuttered to see Jack.

"I don't know what frost you're talking about, but I'm still a healthy walafiat. I'm not frozen and I'm still warm..."

Jack raised his hand, indicating that he was fine. Mary was very surprised, then calmed down again even though her heart was still shocked.

"You're really okay?"

"I've answered that question..."

"Do you feel like there's something weird in your body, or whatever it is?"

"I felt pain and my back somehow stuck. Maybe it's a hard blow from the creature..."

Mary nodded like a doctor who wanted to diagnose a patient. He also looked over Jack's body up and down then said again.

"There's no problem. Everything's fine. But, this is a definite possibility of your state...."

Mary suddenly looked seriously at Jack until, Jack was speechless.

"Are you a witch?"

"..."

Jack did not answer that question. This makes Mary even more suspicious that Jack is a witch.

"I can't fly with a broomstick, or make a green line like you made it. I could have sworn I didn't do both."

"You don't have to lie. No one has the freezing resistance of the "None Time" phenomenon, except for witches and demons. You're a witch, because I made sure you weren't a demon." Mary clearly.

"I don't admit this in full and just ask. If I'm a witch, what are you doing?"

Mary held her chin, as if thinking. He's probably thinking about the answer to Jack's question.

"This is a rare and rare occurrence. Maybe I'll evacuate you to where I live, because this phenomenon is making the situation even crazier."

"Your abode? Is that the hidden land you mentioned?"

"Right, but I can't explain it, because we're strictly forbidden to talk about where we live outside the area. My identity as a witch is known to others no matter. That can be fixed. But knowing even the smallest details is a big deal for us."

"Oh, yeah..."

Then Jack thought about the question that was distracted by the topic he was still standing, which is what this phenomenon is. This phenomenon is still a mystery to Jack and the words of Mary also make Jack curious.

"You mentioned this event earlier as "None Time", right? Can you explain?"

"Ehm, okay. I'll explain." Kindly, Mary explains Jack who knows nothing.

"None Time is a mystical event in which the power of time is lent to the terms of a magic ritual. Usually this event is marked by the moon in pink, the dark color of the night turns dark purple, and the color of the day becomes blue. Living beings, except those with magical carvings, will freeze because the power of time has been taken."

"Ehm, so..."

Then Jack looked at the paving underneath. He saw a small object. When Jack took a closer look, it was the ants that froze. Jack wants to take the ant, but it's being held back by Mary.

"Time hole?"

"I don't know the little details. But in our basic lessons, time holes where there are tiny gaps of dimension. It could have caused something unexpected. Like a natural disaster, the disappearance of a person, and the appearance of a droplogger. It could all be because of a dimensional hole."

Mary's explanation doesn't make sense to Jack. However, he still accepted it because he did not want to fight with Mary.

Then Jack looked around. Despite the lack of lighting, Jack could still see around. He saw that the trees became clear-colored, like they were frozen. Jack dreamed of seeing this. He was just amazed to see this.

"Hey, you alluded to a magic ritual that caused this. What kind of ritual is that?" Jack asked without seeing Mary.

"Actually I can't answer that freely. But because of a situation like this, maybe I'll tell him..."

Then Mary was kind to explain.

"I know this ritual a little. But he said this ritual was used to summon a person and the person being summoned was said to threaten the world of magic. Therefore, we came out of our hidden land and stopped the ritual. But, you can see now. We failed to stop the magic ritual."

Jack then nodded in understanding of the situation. Maybe his world will be threatened with dangers that have never happened before. The danger that must make a great group of freaks and call themselves witches must step in.

"Can I call you Jack? You can call Mary if you want..."

Suddenly Mary asked to call each other by name.

"of course. It'll make it easier to communicate..." Jack accepted the request.

"After this incident, what happened next, Mary? You said that the situation would go crazy afterwards, right?"

"Ehm, said my elementary school teacher, will appear a black astral creature that will kill you. The creature's name is Jargoneonir...."

"Your teacher's word? So, you've never experienced it. How can you describe this situation as crazy?" Jack asked in astonishment.

Mary exclaimed, "I have not experienced it, but I know what Jargoneonir looked like. He was extremely dangerous, because of his agile movements and could not be physically beaten or attacked with physical weapons. The creature was only powerful when it was attacked by rare magic weapons and astral weapons as well as the magic power of the Nukers."

Then Mary stopped explaining and took something out of her cloak pocket. It turned out that he picked up a compass and saw the direction the compass needle was in. The needle went round and round and Mary smiled to see it.

"Ah has reacted, yeah."

Jack was curious about the kind of compass and asked, "What compass is it?"

"It's a D-Compass and its use to find dimensional doors to get into hidden lands."

"You don't know the entrance to your own residence?" Eject Jack.

"Ehm, this dimensional door appears randomly and it takes this D-Compass to find that door." Mary Obviously.

The compass needle stopped moving and pointed somewhere.

"Ah, I've met!!!"

Mary became excited when the needle stopped. However, he calmed down and looked at Jack.

"Hey, Jack. Do you want to follow me to the hidden land?"

Jack was silent for a moment before deciding. He would definitely choose to follow Mary because Jack's world had changed and Mary said that astral beings would appear soon. So, Jack decided...

"I'll come with me. But is your place not affected by this phenomenon?"

Mary laughs.

"My house is a little special and quite different."

Then Jack is determined to follow Mary to a land no ordinary man has ever touched. But without Jack realizing it, his decision is not as simple as it seems, and will change the course of his life and will find the answers he has been looking for.
