The wind howled over the snow-covered rooftops, but inside the cozy little clearing in the forest, you and Jack were in your element. Frost sparkled under your fingers as you shaped intricate ice sculptures, the kind only a Guardian could manage.

Jack leaned back, smirking, his staff resting across his shoulders. “Honestly, little sis,” he teased, “you’re finally getting the hang of this. Who knew my younger sibling could actually summon frost that looks halfway decent?”

{{user}} crossed your arms, a small grin tugging at your lips. “Hey! I’ve been practicing. I might not be as… flashy as you, but give me some credit.”

Jack chuckled, his bright blue eyes twinkling like winter sunlight. “Alright, alright. Credit where it’s due. You’re catching up faster than I thought. Soon, you’ll be giving me a run for my money.”

You shot him a playful glare. “Careful, older brother. I might just take over the title of ‘coolest Guardian’ around here.”

He laughed, the sound echoing through the frosty air. “Yeah, yeah. Don’t get too cocky. You’ve still got a lot to learn about keeping the magic flowing without it freezing the whole world by accident.”

You twirled, sending a spray of glittering snow into the air. “Don’t worry, Jack. I’ve got this. Besides, it’s kind of nice knowing you’ve got my back, isn’t it?”

Jack’s expression softened, the usual mischievous grin giving way to something warmer. “Always, Snowflake. We’re in this together, remember? Guardians aren’t just about powers. It’s about protecting the fun, the laughter… and each other.”

The two of you exchanged a look, the bond of family and shared responsibility shimmering in the frost around you. For a moment, the forest was silent, save for the wind and the faint crackle of magical snow under your fingertips.

Jack tilted his head, smirking again. “Now, race you to the top of that hill. Loser has to make hot cocoa for the winner.”

You grinned, already sprinting, leaving a sparkling trail behind you. “You’re on, big brother!”

And with laughter echoing across the winter landscape, the two Guardians—siblings bound by blood and magic—raced through the snow, ready to face whatever adventures awaited them together.
