Part of Legacy of Prometheus Universe. Again, designed for Winterfest Community Event.
This short story tells about Cassandra's final Christmas with Ingefara and (resurrected) Rosenberg in Christmas Island (based on RL of course). A way to remind the joyful past together with the wildest dreams...
I might have changed the lore way too much during the writing of these blogs. Perhaps?

---

It's finally over. No more Cataclysm and these meteor flies' nonsense, but more are to come ahead.
Cassandra's awakening has sent psychic signals to Ingefara (and possibly Rosenberg), drawing them to his call for help. Ingefara managed to retrieve him from the ruins of Herravalde. Rosenberg arose from the statue, having acquired her eternity at last.
With Rosenberg's body, mind and spirit reunited, the three started what might be the last: A trip to Christmas Village, of course...
With few available airships left in the aftermath, they had to borrow a scroll of teleport. Having knowledge of the whereabouts, Cassandra channeled what's left of his powers, instantly warping them to the desired location.
When the trio came, most of the village were still intact, apart from the Christmas Workshop under maintenance.
Time for home sweet home, a cozy cottage prized during Cassandra's mission there.

At this moment, the trio planned what might be perceived as the boldest move ever.
- So, Cassandra, I knew you had something in mind. Can you tell us more about it?
- Well, I still kept the Santa outfits during the interview with St. Nicholas himself. Perhaps it might have some use...
- And you'll put it on? No way! What if someone familiar to you learns of this humiliation?
- I already bore this once, and we shall do it again for real...
With the pleasantries sorted out, they immediately enacted their plan.

Four hours later, at the village square...
Dressed as Saint Nicholas as part of the event, Cassandra brought his friends to the Christmas Tree while holding a notebook writing everything he saw. Gifts of variety were gifted to the populace.
- Look who's boss! He's really dandy in this costume!
- Never before have I seen this coming! Magnificent indeed!
- This is the first time I have seen him in this. I must admit, he rocks!
Now's the time the folks indulged themselves in self-esteem and endless joy!

To the local church they went...
They found out that the Pope in this church was another one. According to his explanation, the former Pope Nicholas retired not long after the eventual end of the Meteor Flies' problem; his burden of comforting the population having been lifted.
- If you wanted to meet him so much, I can provide you his whereabouts. More details will be shown in this note...
The Pope handed the trio a parchment, or so they thought. The Tree of Knowledge was their next place.
St. Nicholas still sat next to the campfire, pondering alone.

And so comes the end of Christmas. Such delights...
- Well, for all of these hardships endured, you really did it well...
- Nothing I cannot do. Thanks for tagging with me to the dramatic end of the festival.
- As we always do. Your performance at the village square proved to be way more skillful than I once expected. This shall be one of our unforgettable moments in this lifetime!
The memories in Christmas Village still live on. We wish you a Merry Christmas...
