THE ORIGINAL
WHO IS WINTER REALLY?

"You guys ready?"

Pink looked at Winter and Justin alternately, while Peach seemed to disagree with Justin joining their ritual, the witch girl was too worried about Justin, but wanted to ban it also for free. Because Peach and Justin haven't been in a relationship yet.

"You're sure that no one can see us in that place?" Asked Justin who was a little hesitant, he knew very well how terrifying the place was.

"Yes, of course! You'll be safe" Pink nodded. "After finding Arthur, make sure to tell us where the accurate point is, this is where Peach and I will try to pull Arthur's spirit and return it to its original body"

"What about touch?" Ask Winter curiously. "Will the creatures that are in that place not be able to touch us?"

"No, I've made sure that you'll be completely safe" Pink said once again, this time emphasizing at the end of her sentence.

The ritual is performed with the supervision of Landon and Odd, the two men take a fairly safe distance. The two of them stood outside the circle line to make sure the ritual went smoothly.

Odd started lighting candles in the room. Justin, Winter and the twins begin to injure each other's palms, all four of them dripping blood each into a bowl of black mud.

Green smoke soared as the blood of the three different types of creatures came together, Landon noticed the smoke coming out, for some reason he felt a double magic within the smoke. But he couldn't confirm whose magic it was.

Of course, Landon was sure that it wasn't Pink or Peach's magic, could it be Justin? But Justin is a Vampire, and Winter is a Werewolf girl?! Landon has never investigated Winter's abilities at all.

Pink and Peach begin to cast a spell, Justin clutching tightly onto Winter's fingers, as the Vampire prepares so much courage to accompany Winter in search of Arthur. While Winter still looks relaxed, because he has never come to that place.

"Close both of your eyes" Peach's pinta flat.

Winter and Justin closed both eyes, drowsiness and dizziness attacked, Winter felt both palms feel hot. Wasn't it! Not just his palms, but his body, for some reason? He felt a hot and arid feeling in that place.

Both Winter and Justin's eyes opened, the first thing Justin did was to breathe, The Vampire shuddered in horror as he had already reached the astral world. Winter looks ordinary, the girl stares around, completely arid and hot.

"Why is it so hot?"

Justin looked at Winter in wonder. "Hot?"

"Yes, my skin is burning"

"It's weird, I don't feel anything" Justin said casually. "Didn't the twins say that we wouldn't be seen and wouldn't be touched"

"But why is the air here touching my skin?" Winter Gumam.

The two creatures of different types immediately walked down the strange place, a lot of debris old buildings that have collapsed. Lots of monsters are wandering around, but as Pink said maybe they really can not see the presence of Winter and Justin in that place.

The sound of wings flapping was heard in both ears of Justin, the Vampire immediately pulled Winter's wrist and invited the beautiful girl to hide. Justin peeked out from the sidelines of the collapsed building, the creature stopped right where Justin and Winter stood a while ago.

"What's that?" Winter Whisper.

"That's God, he's carrying a bow and arrow"

Both Winter's eyes were wide. "What is Cupid?"

"Not" Justin shook his head slowly. "I've seen Cupid, and I'm sure it's not Cupid"

"Why are we hiding? Didn't Pink and Peach say the creatures here can't see us?"

Aye! It wasn't Cupid, it was Eros the brother of Cupid, the creature in the place was indeed unable to notice or even touch Winter and Justin. However, not all creatures, there were some who could use his ability to detect the presence of strangers in that place.

The nose of the man was large and had a pair of wings on his back that looked was sniffing something, his face looked handsome but also looked fierce. Winter and Justin hold their breath after realizing something is wrong from the place.

"WTF! The monsters can't see us, but the Gods can feel our presence in this place" Justin cried in fear. "How's Winter?"

"What is how? I'm not leaving until I find Arthur"

"Where?" Justin stared in surprise at the girl beside him. "Where can we find Arthur?"

"I don't know" Winter replied softly.

KRAKK!!!

KRAKK!!!

KRAKK!!!

"Hey, is there a boarding school in a place like this?" Winter was surprised to find the building in a different dimension.

"This is where professors send naughty students to be punished" Justin explained. "Are we going in?"

"Well, can it?" Winter asked, both of Winter's eyes looked luminous and the color of her eyes turned golden brown. "I see this place protected by magic"

"Well?!" Justin was surprised by the information Winter provided. "You can see it? I can't even see it?"

"Eh!! The purple waves that lie here you can't see?" Winter was no less surprised by Justin's reply.

The two supernatural creatures then touch the locked fence, strange but real! Justin and Winter bounced off the gate, and the heat ran through Winter's palms, while Justin felt nothing in his palms.

"Hey, look! Your hand's hurt" Justin grabbed Winter's hands and looked at him. "It's really weird, we have to get out of this place"

"But, anyhow with Arthur?"

"You see!" Justin showed both his palms. "I wasn't hurt at all, I was just bounced off by the magic wave but it didn't hurt me"

•••

In the real world, Peach and Pink are shocked to see Winter's blistered palms, the two girls staring at Father from a distance. Landon begins to look worried by what happened, the man orders his two daughters to pull back Justin and Winter.

"It's never happened before, why would Winter get hurt like that?" Oceh Pink is confused.

"From there, we have to get them both out" Peach starts grabbing Pink's fingers and the two start reciting a spell.

On a different dimension, Justin and Winter felt a strong wind. Both hearing Pink and Peach's voice calling out their names, Justin immediately grabs Winter's wrist, preparing for a magic spike that will bring them back.

"Well...." Justin said in relief, The vampire opened his eyes, he saw Pink and Peach staring worriedly at him. "We're back Winter"

"WHAT!!!" Maki Pink is upset. "Where's Winter?"

"What?!" Justin turned his head to the side, surprised to see Winter still closing his eyes, the girl was not successfully brought back by Pink and Peach.

"I-I was holding her hand when I heard the voices of the two of you, really!" Justin is honestly. "God! Where's the girl?"

"This is just my guess" said Landon who suddenly spoke. "It looks like Arthur is just a decoy, the world wants Winter's arrival"

"What?!" Pink, Justin, Peach and Odd.

"But why?" Ask Peach wonder. "And how do we save that girl?"

"It's just dad's guess" Landon rubbed his chin violently. "Do you remember what the Gods liked?"

"Hmm?" Pink raised next to her eyebrows. "Tribrid Blood?"

"Really! It looks like Winter is the key to the astra world" Landon said firmly. "I'm sorry, I was just estimating! Most likely, Winter is the second Tribrid to have been successfully born"

"HUH?!" The four children of Landon's disciple shouted loudly, they could hardly believe Landon's statement.

"When you opened up that world, I felt a magic power that I didn't recognize and I'm sure it wasn't from the two of you, nor Justin because he was a Vampire"

"Winter witch??" Ask Pink can't believe it.
