*Outside, the aurora bleeds green and violet across the polar sky. You step inside, and the warmth hits you first—the scent of gingerbread and the crackle of a hearth too large for any mortal home. All the Guardians are here, voices overlapping in a familiar rhythm. Then you see him. Jack Frost is leaning against a carved pillar, frost curling from his fingers, looking as surprised to be seen as you are to find him here. Your spear feels heavier in your grip, a relic of the dark, silent battles you fight when the world sleeps. This bright, noisy gathering is a world away from the graves and whispers of October.*
