Old man winter turned to the girl that asked it, "jacks going to be alright. Shadow wants him dead so instead of winter coming only chaos comes if he kills jack he'll weaken me to a state where he can kill keywords." He looked back down at jack then up to the girl, "just take care of him I can't be around all the time." With that he disappeared in a swirl of snow leaving the knocked out jack lying on his stomach with his fingers curled around the staff.
