Chapter Forty One: Gremlins

What was hidden in Williamshire, North Pole was more than a herd of sleeping Gremlins, but mostly unrequited love for the product of childlike imagination. It was considered a great tragedy when the imagination that was generated by children (who were not naughty, but nice) were cruelly transformed into evil vessels that made some elements of such imagination to take the form of what was now known as Gremlins.

Not all of these heavily guarded imagination became the Gremlins in visible form, because they were, then, contained just in time to prevent them from multiplying further by conjuring an enchantment for them to sleep. It was Santa Claus who made it all possible by showing heroic virtues, and together with his trusted Mirrorites, they made a barricade and retreated from the territory by making it illegal to seek access to Williamshire for any form of entry. 

The importance of the imagination can never be overstated, and it is quite true in all material respects that nobody can easily dispute. It is the imagination which makes possible the satisfaction of dreaming in fantasy, the employment of the logical mind, the possibilities that creativity can conceive, the faculty of making art, the formulation of ideals and aspirations, the attachment to firm religious convictions, and the more common resolve of men in ultimately understanding himself.

But what transformed to be the mean sprites (now known as the Gremlins) were the manufacture of offense from the inherent nature of imagination that forced its unit of measurement to change in substantial form as a complete reaction to evil, as it is universally known, and it shares its visible characteristics with the Dwarves by having the same material composition.

It was a problem of the nature of the imagined worlds, where such reaction was first observed, whose sudden transformation of the invisible elements within the crowded imagined creativity. There was no established inquiry as to who started such reaction to convert the imagination into an evil Gremlin, but there was a document about the investigation made by the Christmas Corporation that is now hidden within the august halls of the Psychometrician Store.

The many culprits who actually did this malicious attempt to finally destroy the North Pole by the proliferation of the Gremlins were repeated in recent memory by the creation of the Green Snokers, which was also successfully been driven away from The Village, and the area of the sinister attacks where the Green Snokers emerged is also heavily guarded as to this day.

The latest attempts to infiltrate the safety features of the North Pole are a complete validation that an attack against the peace is currently going on, and that the threat is credible in its presence and competent to be the cause of alarm. These attempted breach to the weakening security will soon compromise the safety of the Christmas Corporation, as they are pursued by their own original archenemies.

Santa Claus and Father Christmas recognize that such danger exists, and they are already on top of the situation. It is a matter of race against time, and the Christmas Corporation can only hope in the accompanying luck of a perfect timing.
