Notes

It was Christmas Eve.
Just then I heard someone say sternly, "Hello boy.."
I looked up and found out that it was Santa. I was shocked that my jaw practically hit the floor. Was I actually seeing the Santa Claus? I couldn't believe my eyes....
"Wha-...What... do...you...want?" I said slowly as I was still appalled.
I thought carefully, "Was I dreaming? Would someone pinch me please?"
Unfortunately, I said that out loud, so Santa pinched me as hard as he could.
"Ow!" I shouted at the top of my lungs when I was in pain and agony.
Minutes later, I was still in pain.
Santa waited for me, and finally said, "Sorry for the brief introduction. I am Santa Claus --- I think you know. Many think I am not real, but I am. I just don't reveal myself to the public..."
He stopped, and a tear drop dropped out of his eye.
"I am sorry I am gettin' emotional. Usually Misses Claus helps me with delivering all the presents, but sadly she passed away..." Santa said when his face was full of frowns.
I asked what we wanted from a ordinary boy which was me, and he said I was unique. I was dumbfounded and shocked. I had a million questions running through my mind.
"I am unique? What? How the hell is that possible? Everyone told me I was even lower than average, how was I unique?" These were some questions I was thinking of.
Santa exclaimed that he needed a replacement to help him and he came to me. Out of the 8 billion people in the world, he chose me! Anyway I agreed in a heartbeat and our adventure started.

I introduced myself when I was riding on his sleigh. It just felt like I was in the fantasy world and a portal brought me in this dimension. I just had a feeling that I was Harry Potter on Hagrid's flying motorbike and Dumbledore was next to me. My dreams were coming true! I loved my life!
Santa broke the silence, and said, "No more daydreaming kiddo, come on, got some delivery to do righ' ?"
I sighed and nodded silently. Santa shared everything and we came up with a plan! Santa will go into all the houses through the chimneys and I would "throw" the presents "gently" into the chimneys. Santa will catch them -- hopefully, and put it next to their Christmas tree -- if the people even have one. Then Santa will skedaddle, hopefully not getting distracted and as quietly as possible. Then the cycle repeats until all the houses in the world is complete. I just freaked out at that moment. How am I supposed to conserve my energy when I need to throw so many presents? And I mean a lot. Even the smallest country in the world (Vatican City) has 5,000 households. Don't get me started, that's a lot. And what if one house has a family of 10? That would be 50,000 presents that I would need to throw for the smallest country. I wonder how many I would need to throw in China. Probably a lot. I was gobsmacked every time I think about it.
It felt like Santa was reading my mind when he said, "Well I know it's a lot, so let's get started!"
I was thinking the whole time when we were travelling between countries. How does Santa get 8 billion presents ready. I mean he does have a year but still.
What felt like an eternity later, we were done, finally. I think I drank about "only" 10 bottles of water as I was "not" tired. I was fatigued in my arms. It felt like someone used a curse to destroy me overtime, and it WAS very painful. Just imagine you being stabbed by a knife, a sword, maybe even shot by a bullet. That's how I felt. Just then, Santa casted a spell.
He was saying, "Eivg eht srewop, leah."
I thought that was gibberish but that made my life so much easier. Ray of lights just shined all over my body, then for a second I fell down on Santa's sleigh. As I was trying to sit up again, all my fatigue just disappeared. I was no longer exhausted. I even felt like a god. I could do anything. Santa just explained that the spell makes me like him -- a very powerful one that still can pass away.
"Hopefully you can pass my spell down from generations to generations to come." he said smiling.
I realised I could cast the spell even when I did not learn it. I just said casually, "Eivg eht srewop" which is "give the power" backwards if you noticed. Only masters can cast this spell which makes others masters like themselves -- so it can be an infinite loop. You can figure out what Santa said earlier on, "Eivg eht srewop, leah".

This adventure was like a crazy rollercoaster ride. There was so many things happening at once, and I had so many emotions for my surroundings. I am sure I will give my powers to my family whenever I am about to pass on. It is now never hard to deliver presents anymore. From now on, I will always help Santa and will deliver presents every year on Christmas with him. When he passes, hopefully my family will help me as well, and my spell will pass down from generations to generations to come -- just like Santa said. I will continue to do this as long as I can.
