Chapter 10 – Prologue

'So, that's where my short story ends… That's what happened 250 years ago.'

Jack was sitting by the branch of the tree. He was staring at the town where Jamie lived, which was once the town Rapunzel ruled. After centuries, her kingdom still stayed strong and became a successful place until the present.

'What happened to Hiccup and Merida? They had 7 kids. They were a pretty lucky royal family to have those many children. Heheh… Well, for me and Punz, We didn't have children, but agreed to let one of Merida and Hiccup's children rule the kingdom. And it turned out to be really great!'

Jack suddenly put on a gloomy face. He went down the tree and held a lantern on his one hand… And for the first time, he was able to light the lantern without getting hurt from the heat. He held the lantern as he slowly walked forward, stopping at a spot close to the town. He looks below him to reveal four thombstones, with names carved, "Merida Haddock", "Hiccup Haddock III", "Toothless", "Rapunzel Frost".

He kneels down and touches the thombstone of Rapunzel. He smiled as he remembers the memories he had with her, starting from the time he first met her when she was a baby until he stayed beside her until her last breath. Rapunzel leaving her was the most painful thing he has ever experienced. He didn't know if he could even smile again after her death, but, he promised Rapunzel that he will still try to smile and have fun even if Rapunzel wasn't beside her for her not to worry.

As Rapunzel died, so did the power of the droplet of the sun and the moon. And as years passed after Rapunzel, Hiccup and Merida's death, the people slowly forgot about Jack until he was once again, invisible to everybody.

"Hey, there, Punz. Guess what… I was really someone before I became chosen," Jack said, looking at Hiccup's grave after saying that line.

"Whadaya know, Hiccup… I was uncle. Jeez, that kind of made me feel a bit awkward when I knew about that," Jack teased as he chuckled.

He looked at the necklace Rapunzel gave him that had the droplet of the sun and moon, which now only looked like drops of water and no longer shined… Not even a spark.

"I seriously miss you guys," tears suddenly formed in Jack's eyes as he looked down to try to cover up his tears and wiped them off.

He tried to hold on a smile, "Don't worry, Punz. I still haven't forgotten about my promise," Jack smirked.

Jack wore the necklace once again made it snow only at the place of the four graves. Snowflakes fell and Jack left flowers in each one of their graves.

He stood up and sighed deeply.

"They must've been really dear to you, right, mate?"

Jack looked behind him and saw his fellow guardians, each of them holding a lantern.

"So, you all still remembered what I told you about them, eh?" Jack couldn't help but smile. Eversince he got his memories back, he started to be more open to the guardians and told them about his adventure with Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel.

"Just because we seem to be busy every day for children doesn't mean we don't have time to visit," North said.

Jack looked at Sandy, "Thanks for helping me dream of those times, Sandy."

Sandy gave him a thumbs up and they finally let go of the lanterns. Jack looked back at the graves of his dear friends and the love of his life as he watched the lanterns float in the sky. Memories of the four of them together out in an adventure came across Jack's mind, with Rapunzel's face flashing inside Jack's head. He would do anything just to hear her angelic voice again and see her sweet smile.

He opened his eyes and smiled at their graves, "Happy Birthday, Punz… I Love You."

After a while, Jack flew around the city. He stopped by at Jamie's house and went inside the young boy's room. Jamie was sound asleep, so, Jack didn't bother waking him up. He put on a smirk and saw Jamie's bedroom door open.

"Hey, Jamie… You don't mind if I check out your place just for fun, right?" Jack said in an almost fainted whisper voice.

Jamie didn't respond, "Great, thanks!" Jack chuckled a bit and went into the hallway.

He saw the development of the houses by the years and was still impressed. As he walked, he placed his staff over his shoulder and put his other hand inside the pocket of his sweater.

"Not bad. Simple, but cozy," Jack complimented.

He removed his hand from his pocket and rested it on a table full of pictures that were already framed. He grabbed one of their family pictures and laughed as he saw how lively Jamie's family was that he chuckled.

Jack was surprised to see an unfamiliar face at the side of the picture that had her arms around Jamie and Sophie. There was a girl he had never seen before from the family of Jamie.

"Jamie has another sister-…" before Jack could even see the face of the girl in the picture properly, the suddenly felt a really hard hit on the back of his head that caused him to black out.

Jack slowly opened his eyes; the impact on his head was still felt that it still made him feel dizzy. He looked around to see that he was inside a room in the house of Jamie. He has never been inside that room before. It must have been the room he saw Jamie going in and wouldn't let anyone of his friends go in.

He tried to observe the room. He saw coloring materials, mostly paint and paint brushes, on the drawing table. There were stuff toys on the bed. The walls were painted with different kinds of pictures in a more abstract way. He knew he has seen that kind of scenery before. He suddenly realized that he was tied to a chair. His staff was thrown all away to the other side of the room.

"Struggling… Struggling is pointless."

Jack looked at the place where the voice came from.

They were hiding in the shadows behind the door. He could hear three familiar voices whispering.

"Just go."

"No way, you go first."

Jack raised an eyebrow, "Uh… Say what?"

"W-we know why you're here… And I'm not… Afraid of you," the voice said.

Jack got more confused, "What the hell are you talking about?!"

A young girl finally stepped out of the shadows. She was barefoot and had hair that reached until her thighs. It was dip dyed to the color of Brown to golden Brown to Blonde. She held a frying pan and as Jack stared longer at her face, he realized that who he was looking at was the reincarnation of Rapunzel.

"Who are you… And what do you want?" the girl asked.

Jack couldn't speak. His jaw dropped and his heart beated fast. Tears formed in his eyes as he looked at her and he felt complete again, "Rapunzel…"

The young girl's eyes widened, "How… How do you know my name?!"

Jack couldn't himself from smiling, and suddenly got back to his senses when his necklace started to glow once more like how it used to glow back when Rapunzel still lived.

"Who are you and what do you want?" The reincarnation of Rapunzel asked.

The other two stepped out of the shadow to reveal that they were the reincarnations of Hiccup and Merida. Jack's eyes widened as he saw them and he felt like his heart was filled with too much joy, "Merida… Hiccup."

"How the hell did he know our names?!" The Reaincarnation of Hiccup said.

"Ugh, Punz, you don't have to ask that! He's obviously a robber!" Merida demanded, pointing to Jack.

Jack couldn't help but chuckle, "A robber?"

Rapunzel was about to hit Jack with her frying pan, "Whoa, Whoa Whoa! Wait, I am NOT a robber! I was just passing by and-…"

Jack paused and his eyes widened. He looked at Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel with surprise.

"You… You can see me?!"
