A Lost Elf

[jackfrost]

Frost scoffed as he regained consciences, shaking his head a tad, and scratching an itch behind one of his icy ears. This was defiantly not the North Pole.
Bouncing to his feet, the elf, gazed slowly at his new surroundings in curiosity though his icy eyes.

"Hello?!" Frost shouted, letting the sound travel before he took a step. Once Jack had taken a step, he took another. Until he reached a cliff and yelled across, with his hands cuffed, "Hellooo"

On the "oooo" his eyes became rather cross eyed before falling back into place.
Sighing in disappointment, however not enough that his face turned blue. Rose his arms up and then flopped them back down, as Jack spoke,"Well, this is a set back. How are I going to get back to the Pole and take over the holidays if I don't know where I are?"

As, Frost turned back to go the way he had came to the small cliff.
His ski jet nose guiding the way, saw a castle at the very top said in a overly cheery tone, with a fake pearly white smile, "Gee, doesn't
that look inviting."
His mouth freezing, half open at the end their.

[Maleficent]

Inside the Forbidden Mountain's fortress, Maleficent sat on her throne. Without her pet she seemed more bored than usual. Probably not lonely, but less expressive.

She nonchalantly watched two of her goons bicker over food, and some others drinking. She would abuse her minions for a lark if she had more energy, but on that day she just sat, waiting. Waiting for Diablo to bring back news.

In time, she sighed and stood. She grasped the front of her long skirt and hiked it up gently, to allow herself to walk out of the throne room and out in the open air. She was so quiet that none of her goons noticed her absence.

The black pupils in her yellow eyes scanned the horizon beyond her fortress. Was she hopeful that Diablo would arrive by now? She was getting desperate, and she hated it. What if, she feared, Aurora evades the curse?

Then she noticed a foreigner; in the distance she could see a faintly colorful man. At least she thought it was a man, but she wasn't too sure; he was beyond clear visibility. Her brows furrowed, and her eyes from that point on focused solely on the intruder.

[jackfrost]

Frost flippped himself, almost backwards when he felt the gleaming eyes shine on him. At first, he thought it was Mother Nature checking on him, in raising his hands in fists, exclaimed; "I haven't done anything! I just wanna serve my community!"

There was a pause as his face twisted more devoius, his hands lowering to his midway and found themselves in a coil. Jack hadn't done anything major yet, anyways.

However, the more Jack stood there and felt those 'eyes' watching, which he did staying frozen in that devoius position. The more he thought, it wasn't HER. The stare felt more evil and not just annoyed.
Intrigued, Frost set off and continued up the mountain.
Once he had reached the top, the elf stared around at the castle, looking for a window pane, he'd be able, hopefully, step his footing.

[Maleficent]

The fairy walked throughout her castle in order to keep her fixed gaze on the visitor. Only the uninformed and the foolish dare ascend the Forbidden Mountain. Either way, there was a chance that Maleficent could alleviate some stress with the intruder.

Then standing on a tower that overlooked the drawbridge, she leaned forward, still focusing. As always she kept her magic scepter close, but with her free hand she pressed her palm against a granite stud. She stood there, watching.

[jackfrost]

Frost stood on the plateau wondering how he was going to get above. It wasn’t only that his mind tinkered how to get up there, also, that stare. He could feel it more now, the area around had swiftly changed and was darker, not that bother the elf much, better then the jolly hollyness he gagged on all the time. The smug look still hadn’t disappeared from the man’s face nor the white teeth, partly showing.
The weather was odd watching the lighting, as if. Almost as if, something was controlling it.
Is this someone like himself? Intrigued flashed across Frost’s face. Someone he hasn’t heard of?
Regardless, he would have to get from here to there, quickly or risk getting stuck by lighting. This wouldn’t be a good thing and besides his hair already stood on end!
A bolt stuck from above and Frost jumped to the side in nick of time. Close call.

Standing on the edge, Frost inhaled deeply and his face turned a deep blue , gray hair as he exhaled out. Light blue smog, dropped to the cliff at his in end result forming ice over that surface, which he hopped onto. Before continuing to blow some more ice to create a bridge to the other side.
The width of the ice bridge just wide enough for one person, and just thick enough to support himself. When Jack had finished and reached the other side, his new bridge was arched and slowly rose from his bent down position he had down the entire trip. The elf’s face turned back to his pasty color and his hair back to white.
Eyeing back at his artwork, smirk on his face like he was the best thing since Swiss cheese or something like that.

[Maleficent]

"Who are you?" Maleficent's voice called to the unwelcome visitor when he was close enough. "What is your business here?"

She placed a long, cold finger on her chin and an eyebrow raised. Her confused eyes examined him. He seemed to fetter on ice and cold... was he a fairy, too?

"You are brave to come here. Or... foolish."

[jackfrost]

Frost called, "Who else? Why I’m Jack Frost." He paused, "Who might you be?" His body seemed to stretched up and as he asked her his question.
Wondering if it was possible he had stumbled across a small kingdom in the 21st century… And… And where those lighting bolts coming from her will?
He was tensed up in curiosity even his pointy ears seem to be.
"I seem to have gotten myself lost.." His head going from side to side and his tension wore down.
"Appen to know where I are, now?"

And just flashed a mouth full of teeth with her statement, it almost sounds like she’s threatening him.

[Maleficent]

"You are a weary traveler?" Maleficent asked, ignoring his question. Experience ears would recognize a slight patronizing tone in the voice. "You have found the Forbidden Mountain... welcome to my home. I am Maleficent."

The pale-skinned fairy smiled to Jack Frost, but it wasn't welcoming. As she smiled, Maleficent wondered if this man was in fact a fairy. He couldn't possibly be mortal; the powers he demonstrated were far too great. Or maybe he was a wizard?

"Where do you come from?" Maleficent asked, retaining a devious smirk.

[jackfrost]

There was a long pause, as Jack seemed to 'dot', she didn't seem to know just who , Jack Frost was. Which irritated to say the least. "You could say that, your mastery." Followed shortly by a bow, why not try to impress her with manners. Women just love them, especially from the signals that where going off in Jack’s ‘sixth’ sense.

As he rose back up; "Oh, my bad. I didn’t mean to find your pad. But when I saw it, just looked so inviting!" He paused; “You know?” As he maintained a fake smile on his face, and shrugged off the none welcome smile, he had a feeling he was trespassing and didn’t want to upset her now.

"Canada!" Came the reply. "Have you heard of it now?" As he shook his head, his eyes not coming off of Maleficent.

“Would you mind giving this ‘window painter’ a tour of your lovely palace?” The elf replied rather hopeful.

[Maleficent]

Maleficent thought this man had a demeanor akin to a jester, but he nevertheless did display magic arts. That was why she chose not to incinerate him then and there; he could retaliate.

"Why," she said through her smile, "yes." She grasped the front of her skirt again, about to turn. "Come, Jack Frost of... Canada; I will show you to the dungeon." Whenever Maleficent displayed a sense of humor, it was usually in a dry tone.

By now a couple of goons patrolling the area noticed the stranger. They visibly readied themselves to attack, but Maleficent gently shook her head in protest, silently ordering them to lower their weapons... for now.

[jackfrost]

Frost paused, rather started to move as Maleficent, told him to 'come in', however, froze in motion as 'dungeon' was mentioned. He had a look of interest on his face. Frost was really far from stupid, he acted stupid but that’s all it was.
As soon as she said, 'dungeon and how's she dressed, she must be a person like him, then continued to move along, slowly, eyeing even more carefully now.
Raising his pointer finger; responded polity as possible ; "Why thank you! That's my favoriset place in the whole castle! How'd you know?!"
Followed shortly by a chuckle. Course it was a lie but he was hoping talking backwards would work.

[Maleficent]

"Oh?" Maleficent asked. She stopped in her tracks and casually leered to him. He definitely was either very naive, or knew more than he let on. "Then you will find my dungeon comfortable," she said. Some of the goons audibly giggled, though some pig-like creatures snorted.

"Do you have a castle, Jack Frost?" she asked, addressing him by his name. "I know that you are not from this kingdom."

[jackfrost]

Frost kept his fake smile on his face; looking rather childish. His eyes darting from her and then to her goons as he continued to follow. They’d be easy to slide from, just play it cool Jack and slide away before you actually, head down to the dungeon.

"I do in fact! It’s rather icy."
Even if he lived in a condo but his condo was rather icy at the least.

"What do you rule over, might I ask? I don't see any subjects."

[Maleficent]

"I rule over Hell," Maleficent responded. "I am the mistress of all evil. The mortals in Stefan's kingdom and beyond are of no consequence to me."

She smiled confidently, as if she knew something. "But you, Jack Frost, are different. You are not mortal." She chose this time to try and learn more about her 'guest.' Giving Jack her undivided attention, she and her staff remained motionless.

Maleficent's goons kept their gaze on the foreigner while still clutching their weapons.

[jackfrost]

“Well… That would explain the liveness ‘ of the place here.” Frost smiled for a moment before he grunted slightly.

Slightly, grinning in a rather mischievous way when she said, she was the 'mistress of all evil', wondering how much she could pick it up and as if it wasn’t obvious enough. Least it was to Jack.

Then shaking his mind of his own thoughts, when she began to state his name, completely not catching the Stefan kingdom part.
Looking at her with his fake smiling and cold eyes, replied, “It is that obvious now?” As a tilt from his head happened, his eyes fixed on her and slightly 'the audience'

[Maleficent]

"Yes, it is." Maleficent decided to just cut to the chase. "Is it only by chance you are here, Jack Frost, or have you come to attack me?"

She turned from him and took a few steps to a ledge, to look at the frontier beyond the Forbidden Mountain. "I seldom have guests... So please forgive my suspicions." A soft smile tugged her lips.

[jackfrost]

"Oh, now why would I come and attack someone as vile as you?" Frost meant that in bad but good way.

And with a cute voice replied, "I really have no idea where in Rudolph’s mama I are... I ain't even sure how I got here even."

There was a pause; "It's quite alright, your Highness."

[Maleficent]

Jack's tone was familiar to the evil fairy: feigned playfulness blended with patronizing coolness. He couldn't have been a valiant knight of goodwill, or he would have attacked her by now.

Maleficent's pupils were directed to Jack Frost as much as possible, but she didn't turn her head. "You flatter me," she responded to the 'vile' comment.

In the horizon stood King Stefan's castle. Although the weather above the Forbidden Mountain was dreary, the sky above Stefan's kingdom was noticeably clear. Maleficent hated fair weather. Why should anyone deserve it?

The fairy raised her hand, bringing her scepter into the air. She waved it in a delicate motion until a very thick, black raincloud materialized above Maleficent and Jack. The cloud expanded gradually until it encompassed above miles of terrain, and it hovered over to Stefan's kingdom after Maleficent commanded it to do so. Minutes ago the kingdom enjoyed a clear sky, but thanks to Maleficent, it was soon drenched in rain.

A minor act of evil, but it brought Maleficent some comfort. She turned to Jack, smiling deviously.

[jackfrost]

Frost smirked, he was quite the charmer.
As he then stretched his neck to where her scepter was as the elf watched the clouds gather in the air outside. So, that’s how she did it. He needed one of those now.
As he returned her devious smirk, remarking; “What? No lighting?”

[Maleficent]

Maleficent chuckled. "But do you think I would forget?" Just then, a flash of lightning from the clouds blinded the area momentarily, followed by deafening thunder. This satisfied the fairy; a smile tugged at her lips again.

She faced Jack after the thunder had subsided, but every now and then another series of lightning and thunder occurred. "Do your powers," she asked, "fetter on ice?" She recalled watching Jack form an ice bridge on whim.
