Chapter 19 - Santa's Here To Stay

Its the end of of my fourth year here in the walking dead universe basically. Christmas is tomorrow the new years shortly after. The D.C. settlement is pretty well built with survivors around. That even though its a shitty cold morning, everyone's happy. Even some kids are running around outside the school Donna set up.

So while walking around D.C. I am using the creation app. Making that one power the future me had, Laws Reform. Since I plan to do something a little special this year for everyone. That while thinking of it I notice a crowd of people looking at something. Which Turns out to literally be the real Santa Claus, who's got a nasty bite wound on his arm. Guess the north pole has fallen and he escaped or something?

"What are you all gawking at? Get the man and his deer help!"

When I bellowed that out at the crowd everyone scattered. To get many things while I approached the old man who's smiling. But before anything else since he likely got bit. I suddenly inject the full cure into the old man in the neck. Which earned me a look of surprise by him before, he likely got.the hint. Seeing some dragging a violent walker of an old lady down the street. Before a graveyard where they execute the walker infront of it. Then someone drags the body into it to bury it inside.

"Ho ho.... I don't entirely know whats going on but i guess you helped? When you suddenly injected with the strange medicine from no where?"

"Yep old saint Nick, the worlds fallen to chaos, the dead roam. Bites mean you turn, well if your not near me really. There are survivor settlements around but the dead are everywhere. Though I guess if the dead roam, you myths are also suffering?"

"I'm afraid so my boy the north pole fell to those things. My elves, wife, and children all couldn't kill each other thus it spread fast. Mrs. Claus forced me out of the north pole with my reindeers. But she turned as well and bit my arm as I took off. Now the north pole no longer exist, I'm the only Christmas spirit left."

"What about the other myths like Jack Frost, the Easter Bunny, ect? Any of them still kicking or are you literally the last myth standing?"

"Ho ho your curious? Then since you helped me I'll tell you. Easter Bunny sealed himself off in his own pocket space. Jack Frost when I left destroyed my old place. Ice soldiers killing my friends and family who turned. He is likely to show up soon to look for me. Everyone else has sealed off their domains from the humans."

"I see so the holiday myths have shut themselves away. But the myths like Big Foot, the Hydra, and more are still probably around. Though monsters like the hydra should be still sealed."

"You have a great head on your shoulders my boy! Ho ho ho! However sadly Christmas shall likely be cancelled forever now. So I'm sadly no longer Santa Claus likely my boy."

"Who said that? Instead of regular gifts, why not deliver the good survivors supplies? The bad ones get a noise maker to attract walkers? I can even help you out, as you likely saw around me I'm not natural."

"Ho ho? I guess thats fair and yes any of us holiday spirits can notice. Your soul is like a burning rainbow, signs that your likely from elsewhere. A soul reborn but with a gods favor am I right?"

With a crooked smile I give Santa a thumbs up for confirmation. Which earns me a rather joyus smile from the old man with a hearty laugh. So I quickly guide Santa and his reindeer to a old hanger we found. Where I help the old man set up everything even a small farm area. Where his reindeer can graze and breed at while the inside. Has been completely redone with a little Christmas magic and my own means, a few skeletons helped too.

But we didn't rest me and the old man worked tirelessly. Making normal gifts, weapons, ammo, and noise makers in his new workshop. Carl, Duck, and Clementine dropped by as well to see me. But when they saw this place and the reindeer the screamed a little bit. Which got a laugh out of Santa before he made them his honorary elves. Who loaded his sleigh with everything in interesting boxes. That old saint Nick apparently used for bigger gifts. But these were filled with food, water and medical supplies. Marked with each surviving settlements names some how!

Thus into the night we worked before Santa took off into the night. While Jack Frost finally appeared before us. Just with a smile as he is likely glad the old guy survived. So before he could disappear I talked him into staying. Gaining Santa a roommate to help him as they both likely need this new home. So with two myths of holidays now apart of the settlement. I guide Duck, Carl, Jack, and Clementine towards the center of D.C. Where there's a Christmas tree and decorations everywhere. With people and kids partying on the night before Christmas.

This has been one strange day but we learned that the myths do exist. Wonder what the new years party will have for us? But before that in a discreet location out of sight. I make basically a firework magic, and add a little extra festive cheer. To close this event off in a grand manner with the settlement in cheers.
