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 Six

When his surroundings came back into focus, Kristofer as Meteor found himself standing in his reindeer stall at Jumper's training camp. he then quickly emerged from the stall and exited the building where he saw everyone in his training group in a line up. Meteor quietly took his position in the line up. Standing in front of the reindeer group was none other than Santa Claus himself. "SO, these are your students this year, Jumper. A fine collection of Stunt Reindeer. Although Dasher and Comet told me great praises about Meteor. Where is he?"

Kristofer then spoke up at that moment. "I am right here, sir. Sorry I'm late. I was squaring things away with my father."

Santa then turned around and knelt to one knee as he began to examine Meteor up close. "A human turned reindeer," he whispered, "Just as Comet said." To which Meteor quietly replied, "My father would like to see Cupid and Donder again some day." Santa nodded his head as he stood up once again and turned to Jumper. "Have them demonstrate the sleigh run, Jumper. Today is their proving day. Succeed today, boys, and you will be advanced to the main Reindeer stunt core in Christmas Town."

Jumper guided his charges to the training sleigh. "This is the big day, boys. Just like the previous times. Sure and steady keeping the line balanced. The only difference is that I won't be able to fly beside you to give advice this time. This is the main test I was preparing you for. I believe in all of you. I know you can do this. Remember, When Santa shouts the words Role Call, give your names in order, from the back to the front like I taught you."

"This is the last pep talk I am going to be able to give you. Although if you do advance, you can return to talk to me in camp whenever you like. I am the main recruit trainer. Once you are in Christmas Town, your trainer will be Comet. He is both fair and just. And he can be a very good friend. He already likes Meteor so don't disappoint him. I will always be proud of you guys. Now get in there and show me that you can do this."

Soon the stunt reindeer bucks were in the air with the sleigh. Meteor and Codine were located up at the front of the line. And then they heard Santa shout, "Role Call!" "Surger! Gusto! Danger! Grave! Rapid!, Laugher! Meteor! Codine!" And then the winds around their test began to play a bit unfair as Meteor felt the entire line seem to buckle to the right. He quickly tugged on the line of the reins to send a warning to the others that the balance was tipping and thankfully, they remembered their training and righted the load. Finally they brought the sleigh around for the landing on top of one of the practice roofs which was set up to train reindeer for landing on a house's roof.

Even from the ground, Jumper had seen the sleigh tip and and he just as easily saw who had guided the others in stabilizing the line. he rushed over to check on his students.

As Santa was approaching, Jumper was about done checking out the reindeer in the line. He was about to turn away from Codine when he stopped and sniffed the air around the reindeer. "Codine? Why am I smelling whiskey and Opium around you?" Meteor turned his head to look at Codine and said, "You didn't?! Park Ranger Wolfe told me you were into some things, Codine! I was hoping he was wrong." Codine said with a blush, "I had a small binge last night. I thought I had kicked the habit before coming to join Stunt Core. But without you being around, Meteor, I had a weakness last night and I went to an elf locally who sells the stuff."

Santa then said, "What is the elf's name and where is he set up? We've been looking for him for quite a while."

Codine sighed with a frown as he said, "The elf's name is Dingle and he is set up in the rear of the sugar Bear's sweet shop in Christmas Town. At least that's where he was last night."

Santa blew a whistle and that is when a gigantic arctic wolf came loping out of the timber line. "Sheriff Fenris! We have a lead on Dingle the Drug Elf. go sniff around the rear of Sweet Bear's shop and see if you can pick up the elf's trail."

Fenris replied in a deep voice, "As you say, Mr. Claus." And he took off with a loping run and with a final leap, vanished into the timber line.

Meteor then quietly asked Jumper, "Who was that wolf?"

Jumper replied, "That was Fenris of the North Pole's Secret Police. He can be a good friend or a horrible enemy."

"What's going to happen to Codine?" Kristofer asked out of some concern.

Santa said, "Codine will have to spend some time in Christmas Town's detox center at the hospital. If he pulls through, he could rejoin the stunt team before the end of the month."

Meteor then said to Jumper, "Before I went home the last time, Codine told me that you have a trainer friend who could help me learn to have both my forms here in Veil as well as on Earth. Is that true?"

Jumper replied, "It is true, although in order to learn the ability, you have to be an advanced Stunt Core Reindeer first... which you just earned today. Santa will escort you and the others back to Christmas Town where you will be assigned to your new lodging quarters at the Advanced Stunt Core HQ."
