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 Five

After getting home from the park, Kristofer chose to take a second bath with soap and shampoo and a nice application of deodorant. He even used some of his mother's scented shampoo to kill off some of the reindeer scent which lingered in his hair. He had almost considered using Lysol spray on his hair. Once he was dressed once again, and remembering what the park ranger had said about the woods near his home. He went out to look for the nearby Veil Gate. He took along a can of red paint and a paintbrush and an old bicycle reflector. his plan was to paint the trunk of a tree red within view of the Veil gate and then nail the old bicycle reflector to the center of the painted spot on the tree. Something he could in no way mistake when looking at it.

Once he finished this task, he took the paint brush and can of paint back to the house and clean up once again. Then he had lunch, although he was in the mood for a sandwich, he began to find that he had no stomach for the bologna meat in the refrigerator. He instead placed two leafs of lettuce between two slices of bread along with a carrot and he ate that instead. He pondered being a vegetarian because of his adventure. However, his next thoughts would be delayed when his dad brought in a pizza from a local pizzeria and he offered a slice to Kristofer. "Um, Dad... thanks but... meat isn't agreeing with my digestion at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I love pizza, but... I tried to eat some bologna earlier and I couldn't stomach it."

His dad was understanding as he pulled the cheese up from a slice of pizza and he carefully removed the meat from the slice and then he replaced the melted cheese and handed Kristofer the slice. "You need to get hot foot into your body or else I will have to take you to the doctor in town for an examination. I know you had to rough it in the park, but Please try to eat something cooked."

"Dad, do you believe in Santa Claus?"

"Yes, if I want to be on his good list, I better believe in him. I actually got to see some of his reindeer once. I met Cupid and Donder. Nice guys although they took most of my lunch that day. And Donder kept sniffing at my pants. Santa said that they were simply missing their mates which is why they were acting funny like that. Then Santa asked me if I had any kids. And I told him about you, Kris. I am so glad you are home."

"Dad... I might disappear in a few days and if I do, please don't call out a search party. One of Santa's reindeer helped me find my way back to the park road and I owe him a favor for his helping me. He said he would come and fetch me when he needed me. And since you believe in Santa, please trust me and let me keep my word."

"So when you said in the car that one of Santa's reindeer helped you find your way back, you weren't kidding. If you get to see Cupid and Donder, let them know that I would like to see them again. I can give Cupid another lunch and since Donder likes my pants, I can let him sniff them some more."

"Dad, I am sure he was sniffing your groin, not your pants. But if I see them, I'll give them the message."

"What did you do while I was away this afternoon?"

"I explored the woods behind the house. The park ranger said I should try to memorize my surroundings so I can recognize my home area if I should ever get lost around here."

Thankfully, there was no more conversation about the reindeer because the phone rang and when Kristofer's father answered the phone, from his pained facial expression, Kristofer knew who was calling. It was his mother who had divorced his father not long after Kristofer was born. At the time she had said she didn't care about Kristofer nor raising him. Now she called once a week trying to get visitation. Kristofer walked over to where his father was speaking on the phone and when he heard his father say, "You want to come see Kristofer with your fiance?" he grabbed the phone out of his dad's hands and said, "Maybe I don't want to see you, Little Miss divorce upon birth and run away from responsibility. You let dad raise me by himself and now that I am almost grown, you want to be in my life. if you come here, don't expect me to be around much." And then he handed the phone back to his father before leaving the house for the backyard. That woman made him so angry. "Jumper... if you're going to call for me, please do it before my mom shows up. She is worse than a female dog."

Soon, his father joined him in the backyard. "Your mother spoke to a lawyer and he agreed with her that she has the right to see you. I know you don't like it, but it is the law."

Fortunately for Kristofer, he barely heard Jumper's mental voice. "Meteor! First warning!" And then Kristofer turned and looked at his father. "Dad... the reindeer are calling for me. I am about to disappear on you. This is another reason why mom should not come here. She would freak out."

"Meteor! Second Warning! Please be decent this time!"

"Go talk to the park ranger, Wolfe, about this. I don't want to lie to you, dad. Ask him about Veil." and then Kristofer heard the the final call. "Meteor! I hope you are ready for this!"

As his father watched, Kristofer suddenly turned transparent right in front of him and then his transparent human form changed into his Meteor Reindeer form before completely fading away, leaving his father standing there with his jaw agape.
