This is an ongoing story I've been writing that occurs in the World of Veil continuum that is not part of any of my given serials. It is about a teenage human boy who stumbles through a curtain of magic to discover another world co-existing just off kilter from our own where he occasionally transforms into a reindeer who in turn joins others in the Stunt Core Union, and proceeds toward learning all the circumstances revolving around the work those in the Core do. Enjoy.

Chapter Four

As Kristofer arrived human albeit in the nude, he found himself floating in mid air just above the ground. It made sense since he jumped up at an angle to make the leap through the gate. Glancing around, he followed the trail back up through the woods to where the campsite had been.When he arrived at that spot, he found the markings and tracks of what seemed to be a very old mobile command center. in a waste basket nearby, he found a map of the area wadded up and left there. As he looked over the map which was marked all over with search notations with his own name on them, his reindeer senses which seemed to still be with him for some reason, suddenly alerted him that he was being watched. He turned his head sharply directly toward the watcher and saw the very surprised park ranger standing there with his patrol dog. Seeing a naked floating human boy was what was causing the shocked expression.

Some time later, back within the local park ranger station, and having thankfully been permitted a bath and a fresh meal, Kristofer Falkner sat in an easy chair wrapped up in a winter blanket as the park Ranger spoke on the phone to his superior. "That's what I said, Frank. The boy was at the old mobile search command base without a stitch of clothing and he smelled like a buck in rut. When I said his name, he nodded his head and I brought him back to the ranger station. I think his family will be ecstatic that he finally reappeared from where ever he had been. I think he is still in some shock. When I tried to ask him where he had been, he said Christmas Town Valley. He also said that one of the local reindeer helped him get back to the park." His parents; I was about to call them when I made the call to you to report this in. A promotion, Frank? I told you when I came to work here that I've seen stuff like this all the time. What's another mystery solved to me. I won't stop you from filing a promotion for this old wolf. The extra income will be helpful for my own family back in Europe."

After hanging up the phone, the park ranger went into the kitchen and returned with a meal and hot cocoa for the boy. "I am going to call your parents now. Your father used to call out here every other day originally. I don't know what he will say about that mark on your forehead. It looks like a meteor in free fall."

Kristofer was surprised that his reindeer marking made the crossing with him. It was the only reminder of his adventure as a reindeer. "My dad is a good man. I will try to explain it to him what happened to me since you think I can't remember what happened correctly. What part of I fell over the overlook is so hard to understand?"

The park ranger then made the second call to Mr. Falkner while Kristofer had dinner. "Your son is recovering nicely, sir.I didn't detect any injuries, although he does have a strange mark on his forehead. he hasn't mentioned any headaches or pain. But his reappearance stark naked was what surprised me the most, sir."

Kristofer noted that the park ranger was omitting the fact that he had seen the boy floating in mid air almost as if the fact didn't surprise him at all. When the ranger hung up the phone, Kristofer asked, "How come you haven't been mentioning that you saw me floating in mid air?" The park ranger replied, "There are some things you cannot mention to other adult humans because they won't believe you when you say them." and now that Kristofer had heard him say humans with some disgust, he thought he knew he rest of the story. "You are a Veil citizen, aren't you?"

The Park ranger looked squarely at the boy and squatted down before saying, "I made the crossing from Veil to Earth a long time ago. I am just a human now. If I could get home, I would resume my normal form. You see, I am an arctic wolf. When I saw you floating, I knew where you had been. You found one of the gates. I was assigned to this post to watch and guard over the local Veil gate here in the park. You ended up with Jumper's Stunt Core, didn't you? That's why you smell like a buck in rut. That smell has to wear off."

Kristofer nodded his head slowly once again. "Captain Jumper was really nice to me. As was Codine of South Timber."

The park ranger said, "I know Codine, although if you met him, you should be careful around him. He's been into some drugs lately. You can totally trust Jumper though. He was the one who hired me to take up watch at this location. I get to see a lot of cuties in the park. And seeing you naked was a treat, too. Here on the Earth side, some might call me a werewolf. What name do you go by in Veil?"

Kristopher replied, "My reindeer form said he was Meteor of South Timber."

The park Ranger then said, "The old Meteor died a few months ago. I guess that explains how you ended up with his form. He tried to force a Veil Gate to work in reverse so he and several others could return to Earth. When he attempted to leap through, it killed him part way through the gate. His form was never seen again, until you ended up with it. You should strive to be a much better Meteor than he was. Jumper is counting on you."

"Forcing a Veil gate sounds bad."

"It is very bad. It took the entire time you were with Jumper to get the Veil Gates working correctly once again. Now remember: when you are with your dad, don't mention too much about Veil or he might think you will need a doctor visit and some unnecessary medication. Finish up your meal and then rest and relax," he said, "Your dad will be bringing you a change of clothes and a pair of your spare sneakers. If memory serves me correctly, there is a Veil gate near your parents' home in the woods. Once you find that spot, mark the area in a way that will tip you off the moment you see it through a gate from Veil. Then you can find it easily the next time. And don't worry, Meteor... I am proud to meet you. A buck in rut smells fine to a wolf like me."

"I won't forget what you told me and how nice you were to me. I can mention my seeing you to Jumper and then he won't be so worried."
