Chapter 9
Years after helping Santa it is Christmas time once again and Krampus goes back to his naughty ways and Santa turns Krampus back into his old self before he ruins Christmas.
It was Christmas Eve, and the night was filled with the sound of laughter and joy as children all around the world were tucked into bed, dreaming of the presents that would soon be under their trees. But in one small village nestled in the mountains, something strange was happening. The villagers had been acting strangely all day, and no one could quite put their finger on what it was.
That was when they saw him - Santa Jack, but not the jolly old man they were used to. He was tall, thin, and gaunt, with eyes that glowed like hot coals. His skin was pale and dry, and his once-white beard was now gray and matted. He wore a twisted, wicked grin on his face, and he seemed to take great pleasure in causing chaos and destruction wherever he went.
The villagers knew at once that this was not the real Santa Claus, but rather Krampus, the half-goat, half-demon creature who punished naughty children during the holiday season. And they knew that they had to stop him before he destroyed everything they held dear.
One brave little boy named Timmy decided to take matters into his own hands. He remembered hearing stories of how St. Nick had the power to control the elves and their magic, and so he set out to find Santa Jack and beg for his help.
As he searched the village, Timmy heard a faint whisper in his ear - “I am here, little one. I have always been here.” It was Santa Jack, and he was hiding just beneath the surface of the chaos, watching and waiting for someone to call upon him.
Timmy found Santa Jack in the town square, surrounded by piles of broken toys and debris. The fake Santa Krampus was nowhere to be seen, and the villagers were cowering in fear.
“Please, Santa Jack,” Timmy begged. “You have to turn Krampus back into his true form. He’s ruining Christmas!”
Santa Jack nodded his head, and his eyes gleamed with a warm light. He raised his hand, and suddenly the air was filled with the sweet scent of pine and candy canes. The ground began to shake, and the sky grew darker as if night was falling in the middle of the day.
And then, with a burst of magic, Krampus was gone, replaced by a jovial old man with a white beard and a twinkle in his eye. The real Santa Claus had returned, and the villagers rejoiced.
