Chapter 1 - The Big Guy in The Red Suit

 ~~CHAPTER 1~~

Well,you know the story...

For years the Big Guy delivered presents every Christmas night.

One moment he was in Italy,the next in Spain,then France and on and on.

His reindeer never tired,not a single driving ticket,even though sometimes he ran the red lights.

It was going perfectly but then...everything changed.

On a particular day, a letter arrived at the North Pole.

It was from a little kid named Arthur.

And inside that letter was a wish that would change everything.

Arthur didn't ask for toys,candy or a new bike. He wanted... a phone.

The elves were stunned."A... a phone?" one whispered.

"Are we sure this is a gift?"

Even Santa was surprised

"Hmm..." he uttered,but he couldn't say no to it,could he?

Arthur had been the nicest kid the whole year.

After it was delivered,Christmas was never the same again...

Suddenly every kid wanted the same thing. And soon they realized they didn't need to wait until Christmas-

they could just buy it from the local store.

At the North Pole, the elves scratched their heads, the reindeer looked confused, and Santa rubbed his beard nervously.

Toys sat untouched...

The sleigh sat quietly...

And the snow outside felt...colder somehow.

"Maybe... maybe the magic is slipping away". Santa muttered

Santa was devastated. For the first time in centuries, he felt useless.

And then... he vanished without a trace...

The North Pole was in chaos.

Santa's workshop was about to get closed, letters weren't coming anymore.

The elves were divided and in panic.

Some wanted to retire ,others were hoping for a solution.

When suddenly an elf stopped all the chaos pointing at the Wish Map.

"Look, there are still two kids who believe".

"That's impossible". one squeaked.

" It must be an error"

The Map showed two grim lights on a far place in Sweden,known by no one.

"It must be a Map error"

"Never heard of this place. It's just a Map mistake",said everyone.

But the elder elf shook his head. "No" he said firmly.

"It's real. Otherwise Santa wouldn't have left us like this".

"He never gives up".

And like that for the first time ever it was not in Santa's hands to save Christmas.

After a long dialogue the Elves decided to send a group on the journey to find the two kids...

Little did they know...the same two kids were about to leave on their own adventure...
