That's enough, I need to call in all the resources I have!
If in this way I can communicate with the spirits from my world, it has to work also the other way, right? I just need to come in contact with him, in any case he's a strong magic-thingummy, for sure he knows some spell to help me!
"Did you summon me, master?"
"What? I don't even know you, what do you want?"
Bah, it's just a talking skeleton, I guess I'll need to search further...
"Ehm, master, I think this may be sufficient..."
"Wait, finally I'm perceiving his presence. That opportunist and manipulative traitor, is here!"
"Wow, wow, wow! Timmy, where are we? What's happening?"
"You have to bring me back to my life, now! Your friend, the Reaper, went way too far this time!"
"Timmy, please be reasonable. It's not our fault if you shake a vending machine until it falls on you. What would we NPCs be supposed to do?"
"Father Winter, I'm really getting angry now. I told you to bring me back!"
"Wow, that's a lot of evil energy! That's what you spent your skill tree points in?"
The lights started shaking, just like the ground, and the little spirits I summoned started surrounding him. At the very least, I was satisfied seeing him being the scared one for once!
"Ok, ok, I'll do something! But— but what could we do? This is not my realm, I have a very limited range of action in here!"
"I have Ambrosia back home, you just have to bring me back to Strangerville!"
"Oh, that's right, you know that recipe... Right. But you have to be careful not be noticed by anyone, ok?"
"Sure. Oh, and let's bring Kitty back with us, too."
"What? You raccoon is here?"
------------------------------------------------------
Father Winter can be a terrible person, but his magics are really so... magical! In the blink of an eye, we were back to Strangerville.
"DON'T WORRY, I'LL BE BACK TO NORMAL IN NO TIME!"
"Don't make others notice you, remember? Bah, they're aliens and spies anyway..."
"And now hurry up, I don't have all day!"
"What if I took all afternoon instead to eat this beautiful Ambrosia instead?"
It was so funny to tease him, it's the first time he's scared of me! I could almost get used to this, but all the things I miss matter much more.
"Yes, I'm back! You see, Kitty, I'm back!"
"I missed hugging you so much!"
"All's well that ends well... Be careful this time."
"Tsé, who do you think I am? Of course I'll be careful!"
"Adios then!" Father Winter said, before teleporting back to wherever he usually spends his time when it's not Winterfest.
As if I wanted to spend any more time with him, I have so many things I want to do now!
---------------------------------------------------
And so I'm back to my normal life. The lights, the smells, being able to touch things, there was so much I was missing as a ghost!
"A coffee, please!"
Ah, my usual peaceful, calm and enjoyable life...
"STAY BACK!"
Why always me?
THE END
