Sarah and jack runs down the streets and through a an alleyway at the end of the alleyway they finaly find the playground where jack is trying to learn how ot be better at soccer. Noone is here other then Simon alone practicing with a soccer ball. he runs to it and smashes the ball into goal. Simon studies the ball apparantly he is pleased getting the ball to go that hard into the goal. Simon clearly hadn't spotted jack and sarah as they just watch him. Waiting for the other shoe to drop then the sound of agroup of bosy can be heard, it gets louder and there he is. Gary and his little gang of croonies. Simon not aware kicks the ball but misses the goal and the ball goes flying landing close to gary and his group of friends. Gary picks up the ball and has this twisted little grin on his face as he looks over to simon

"well well , you think you are some sort of soccer star now? well you are nothing. "

Simon is looking afraid as he group surrounds him but he tries to speak up

"please can you give me my ball back? it's the only one i got and " 

Gary just grins at that dropping the ball and giving it a proper kick slamming the ball into simon's face.

Simon falls onto his ass, clearly bleeding from his nose and starts to cry in pain. But instead of giving Simon a momemnt to recover gary would proceed to  furiosly kick simon while he is down, gary's friends surroundg the poor boy not letting him get up. Sarah not able to hold back rushes into the playground with jack following closely behind. 

"Stop gary why are you doing this "sarah would cry out, as she feebly starts pushing gary off simon

Gary would just glare at Sarah effortlessy push her aside "don't you know? this snot face of kid shouldn't be with someoenf of your standard. he is a nobody a loser and i am making sure he doesn't get near you ever again

Jack notices the crown what ever it is more visible and it has a sickly purplelish color where it sits on Gary's head. 

Not bothering with staying hidden he focuses forming a barrier of ice that seperates gary from sarah and simon

"You two get away from here i'll deal with these children. after all " he looks over to simon "i think you are now able to put truth to the lies you once told after all.

Simon just nods, his nose bleeding and he got quite a shiner to his left eye. But nevertheless manages to grab sarah's right hand and together hand in hand the two runs away. Gary who tries to run after them get's blocked by jack once again. 

Gary furios with a snowman getting in his head tries to hit jack on the head "You monster out of my way or i'll turn you into a puddle

Jack if he could would have sighed at that as he calls upon the power of winter forming a snow storm that covers the playground. and in that storm jack and gary would be fighting it out. While jack can run fast he isn't very agile so he would repeatdly having to reinforce his own body by packing more snow into him. Even so gary seems to be wearing him down after all jack is in the end just a snowman. a magic snowman but just a snowman

As it seemed like gary would hit the final blow gary would just collapse with a blueish tinge on his lips. Jack unsure what to do stops the storm seeing the garys friends are also rather cold in all of this. Turning around Jack moves away from the area when a woman in black with a black veil like she is a widow, she is there just for a moment then disapears. "Jack ain't sure what that was about but he feels he needs to get back to simon who seems to be with his mother. 

It takes a bit to maneuver himself through the streets but ifnaly he finds the hose of simon it's compared to sarah a much simpler house and outside he sees simon and sarah together with simons mother. As jack gets closer he hears their conversation between simon and his mother

"so you see i got friends , this is sarah and she will help me become better at sports and school so please mother. don't you leave me" His  mother responds by just hugging her close "of course i will not leave you at all.

Jack pauses since the last lie he just heard was white as snow. His task is over the kid will.

Jack thinks for a moment as he thinks over the last lie he heard and moves away. heading back to where simon first made him when he spots the black widow lady again

the widow approaches jack speaking up "so you are aware? she won't have long unless how much does it man for you to keep that kid happy?

Jack looks over at the widow she just put words to what he had in his mind "indeed i thought it was over but you are correct i can't leave it at that i was here to turn lies into truth to wash them away. but how do i deal with something like that? she didn't seem sick or anything

The widow shakes her head "indeed, she is cursed been that for a long time she been struggeling with it but is finally losing in to it. I got a gift from my lover "the widow produces two slices of a golden apple, and before jack can react pushes one slice into jack's mouth. as it enters his head it dissolves transofrming him into a young man with a white tophat, a white tuxedo and a cane with a white handle on it. He feels more alive suddenly. having still the somewhat look of a boyish young man

"What ? what did you do to me? " The widow just smiles secretivly under her veil "Oh that is was one of the last slices of the apple of life i was given to my lover. She is in hell traded her soul for me to return among the living. I will make sure this last slice goes to the kids mother. That will give you a year to track down the source of the curse. Sadly i belive only my lover would know it so you need to get to hell, for that you will need a guide. Not far from here is the city of cinder inside the castle you may find information of where such a guide can be found. Bear in mind that this journey will defentively change your nature if you take it. it's still not too late to give this up

Jack turns into the direction of simon, the time with the boy was short but even so in some way he was made to make the boy happy and. "He looks at the widow again "you point me towards cinder and i will go
