Once upon a time in the wintery forest of Norway. The land beneath was illuminated by the silvery-blue light of the Moon as it began its shift in the night sky. As the Moonlight travelled along the surface it shone upon an old oak tree which overlooked a frozen pond surrounded by huge rocks. Upon one of its lower branches sat a teenage boy with cold blue eyes and snowy white hair, his name was Jack Frost. He wore brown three quarter trousers with a blue hooded jumper. He also carried a staff which was a twisted oak branch with a crook on the end which was crudely bent into a crooked G.

He looked up at the night sky and saw the Moon, its light reflected into his cold blue eyes.

"Why? What is my purpose? Why did you resurrect me? Just to spend over 400 years as a teenager? I do know that you burdened me with being the Guardian of Happiness, but why never being seen or touched by those who don't believe in me?" he questioned.

It may seem that these questions were rather pointless, but the next day his questions were answered...but not in the way he intended.

The next day, Jack flew around the snow covered forests of Norway visiting town's and village's bringing joy and happiness wherever he went. He does this by casting snow onto the ground which encourages children to do snow related activities, the joy and happiness of the children re-energises Jack's spirit and strength.

He was just about to take off for home when there was a huge commotion going on at the village band stand. Jack flew over to the stand and listened in on the conversation.

"There's a celebratory ball being held in honour of Princess Anna and Sir Kristoff's engagement at the palace in two days," said a boy's Mother,

"We must go to this at once, I should imagine there will be a lot of people attending," said a girl's father.

Shortly after the commotion, parents and children went home to change into their very best clothes and evacuated the village to join the celebration.

Jack was about to join the celebration until he noticed the Lights of the Aurora beaming above in the night sky. All Guardians know this represents a warning from the North Pole and that the Guardians of Childhood must assemble at once. In the acknowledgement of the warning Jack took off for the North Pole.

Meanwhile at the North Pole, the Guardians had begun to assemble in North's office, a huge Australian man-sized rabbit with grey fur armed with Boomerangs walked into the workshop and was greeted by a tall, plump, buff, long bearded, white haired man with a strong Russian accent. He wore a red shirt, black trousers, black boots and a huge red and black overcoat.

"It is good to see you again Bunnymund," greeted North.

Bunnymund was less graceful in greeting North back, "Honestly, couldn't this have waited. It's three weeks until Easter in Australia. This better be a good reason North," he complained.

"It's the moon who has called this meeting Bunnymund, I don't think he has the habit of making false calls," replied North.

Soon another person entered the room, she was half human and half hummingbird, her entire body except her face and hands were covered with blue and green feathers, at the top of her head the feathers pointed upwards forming a crown, and at the bottom of her waist she had long feathers that draped down to her legs which gave the appearance of half a dress, she had two strong wings on her back which seemed to flap forever like a hummingbird which constantly kept her two feet off the ground.

"Greetings Toothiana," greeted North as he patted her on the shoulder.

"Hi North, what's going on?" she asked as her feet touched the floor.

"He doesn't know," mocked Bunnymund, his eyes looked up at the wooden ceiling.

"Oh, I wonder what it's about," said Toothiana, she was getting rather excited. Soon after Toothiana had entered the office, a short and squat individual flew into the room, he wore a night robe made entirely out of golden glittering sand, his hair was styled similar to that of a clown, it was short and golden with five spiked points which pointed back instead of up, his oval body was rounded and he had small hands and feet, this of course was the Sandman.

"Hello Sandy, how are you?" greeted North, (for those of you who don't know, Sandman is a mute, he shows emotion with his sand) the Sandman stood frowning with his arms folded, a golden sand question mark formed above his head.

"Yeah I can relate to that," said Bunnymund, he too had his arms folded as he leant on the stonework fireplace.

North sighed, "Look there is something going on, otherwise I would not have called you here," he frowned as he looked around his office counting the Guardians present. "It appears we're missing one," he said.

Bunnymund groaned, "How typical of him, he's likely icing up every road and window for his own enjoyment."

A few moments later, Jack flew in through the doorway followed by a few snowflakes, he was surprised to see everyone assembled their before him.

"Hey, what's up," greeted Jack as he landed on the floor and put his staff over his shoulder.

"Well hopefully, now that you're here we can finally find out" said Bunnymund.

The Guardians all looked at North. "Follow me," he said and turned to a door which stood across the room.

As they followed; Jack asked Bunnymund, "Hey, what's with North?" Bunnymund's eyes rolled over to Jack.

"You know if you listened more you wouldn't need to ask as much," he moaned, "None of us know what's happening mate. North thought it was a good idea to wait until we were all present."

Once when North got to the other door he opened it revealing a large rounded room with solid wooden pillars all around holding up the floors of North's Workshop, on each and every level of the workshop there were Yeti's and Elves building toys and operating machinery. North proceeded to walk on towards a gigantic wooden Globe of the Earth which stood in the middle of the room. It was as if the rooms rounded shape was built around the gigantic sphere. Upon the wooden floor lay a huge red and black crest representing the Guardians of Childhood. This was given to North by the Moon when he was chosen to be the Guardian of Wonder as well as the Leader for the Guardians.

The Guardians gathered around the Globe as it rotated slowly mimicking the Earth's rotation. The Globe was covered in small white spot lights upon every continent representing children who believe in the Guardians of Childhood.

"Ok you brought us here, so now can you tell us why?" asked the impatient Rabbit.

North glared at Bunnymund and rolled his eyes up to the glass ceiling, he saw the Moon floating above in the daytime sky. North walked over to a lever upon one of the pillars and pulled it down. A flap within the glass ceiling opened and the Moon's light shone through into the room.

"Greetings my friend, tell us what the big news is?" greeted North, the Moon shone its light upon the Guardians Seal under the Guardians, they moved out of the way of the moons ray to see a shadow appear upon the Seal.

Over time the shadow began to take shape and a very familiar silhouette started to become clear. Once when the shadows had stopped moving it suddenly became clear to every Guardian present...

Pitch Had Returned!
