Jax's adventures: Terra Boreails

It was a warm afternoon in the town of GhostSpirit. The vampire, Jax Bloodbeck, makes his way across town to the home of the local witch, Celine. Celine had come into contact with a special item that can cause portals to re open. That item is called a Junket tank. Jax puts a hand into one of his pants pockets. In the pocket is his special dice bag. Inside that bag is a set of white RPG dice. He always changes what set he brings with and today he said the sparkling white with teal numbers. 

There is a cool breeze that hits as he reaches the home of the witch. Jax walks up the steps and the door opens before he could even knock.

“JAX!! I am SO excited for this portal!” Celine is already holding her staff adorned with amethyst. “Come on, let's go, I will give you more details.”

Jax smiles and follows her though the house and out to the shed.

“I don't know how I found this! It must be a message from The Above or elsewhere far off!” Leaning the staff against a wall she picks up a mechanical looking trinket.

“How does it work? Don't you normally just move your staff and the portal appears?” Jax had heard this is how it works from Lu and Evan.

Celine goes and grabs her staff again. She opened the door to the lantern and switched the blue and red orb with the tank. It makes a nice little click sound and starts to show a pale shade of blue light. 

She places the orb on a stand that sits on a desk that stretches the length of one of the walls.

“Lyra… You are fine with the cold, right Jax?”

“Yeah, I can handle it.” He crosses his arms like the cool guy he is.

“So I have a task for you. I've only read in my studies about this place. Something I really want to see is the Terra Borealis. If you find it or experience it, try to take a picture!” Celine goes to her desk and opens a large book. The words are slightly hard for Jax to read. 

“I can do that for you. No problem.” Jax moves away from the book and sits at one of the seats that surround a round table in the middle of the large shed. “I'm ready when you are.” 

Celine screes in excitement. She takes a deep breath before facing the back wall on the shed where a magic circle is drawn. She closes her eyes and the tank in the lantern glows brighter and makes a whurrring sound. She draws a large triangle on the wall with her staff as the portal gate opens. A cold blast of air rushes into the shed. Some snow rides along the wind. Celine moves to the side “Have fun and show me that borealis!”

Jax is in awe of the portal. He slowly stands up and makes his way through. 

Cronch, crunch, crunch.

The snow beneath his gym shoes sparkles and shines almost like millions of little diamonds.

Looking around the new environment, Jax sees a light in the distance. Crystalline mountains surround him, scattering flecks of rainbow light on the snow. The moon is bright shining above.

Crunching the snow and following the stretch of land in front of him, Jax makes his way up a hill and into another clearing. Standing stunned at the beauty before him. Floating a small measure above the snow are rainbow lights. Jax has heard of the aurora borealis being in the sky but what did Celine call this again? The Terra Borealis? Well that would surely make sense to him being these lights hovering the ground. Jax takes out his phone and snaps some pictures. From above, to the same level, to below, Jax takes his pictures. He assumes that Celine is going to study them so best to take many and a variety of ways for her research. 

A chill hits him. His hands are getting cold and pictures are getting hard to take. He puts his phone away, makes sure to zip up his brown jacket and keep his hands in the jacket pockets. This is not a winter jacket but Jax thinks he could last a bit longer. The lights are beautiful. Maybe this could be an interesting date for him and Evan. Only if Ceine gets her hands on an extra Junket Tank without plans of using it.

Jax thinks it's time to go home. His hands warm up just enough to send a message to his friend. A triangular portal opens in front of him. Stepping from the cold back to the warm stuns him for a moment. The stun wears off soon after the portal closes.

“What did you find?” Celine asks as she removes the now used tank with the red and blue orb in her staff. 

“It was really pretty. It's like the opposite of here. Instead of being in the sky it's near the ground. I will send you the pics I took.

“Thank you Jax, that means a lot to me.” She gives him a big hug.

“If you happen to find another, do you think I could bring Evan?” Jax asks.

“That depends if I get another and if there isn't an important mission that needs to be done. Sorry.” Celine goes over to her desk and closes her book.

“That's fine! No worries, no problem.” Jax pulls out his phone and starts to send his photography session. To Celine. He also messages Evan and Lu to tell them that he will be home soon.

“Incredible job on the pictures Jax! Impressive work!” Celine scrolls though the images sent by Jax.

“Alright, I should be heading home. This was fun. Please let me know when you have another adventure to go on.” Jax starts towards the door.

“Yes, will do! Have a good night Jax!” 

Exiting the shed and starting the walk home Jax thinks about how beautiful the borealis was and how he hopes to visit again soon.
