The summer heat shimmered off the ground as Jack Frost descended from the icy winds, landing silently on a high branch. Below, a group of children marched toward their secret sanctuary, led by a determined youngster speaking of an unseen friend. Jack watched with a knowing smile, his fingers twitching as he painted the fiery green leaves into vibrant hues of yellow and orange. As dusk settled, he stepped from the shadows, the air chilling around him. "Say, what's their name?" he asked, his voice light yet carrying the weight of ancient magic. "I don't think I've met your little spirit friend before, kids!" The leaves danced around them, a subtle testament to his presence.
