The Guardian of Knowledge.

Chapter 1: Prolog.

North Pole

North sat in his workshop working on a new toy. He gently carved a miniature school bus toy from an ice-block. He placed it on a ramp and it ran down fast. It flew off the ramp end and transformed into a rocket and flew around the room. Unfortunately the door was flung open and the bus-rocket was smashed into ice-cubes. "I told you to KNOCK!" North bellowed at the yeti that had rushed across the thresh-hold. "WWOORRBBLLWWOORRLLRRBBLL!" "What about the globe?"

North rushed into the Globe room. The globe was shaking. Miniscule cracks were running across it's surface. All of a sudden, a black shape appeared from beneath the globe. It shot around the room. North could've sworn he'd heard an engine revving. A cackle of laughter echoed around the hall. The shape shot out of the hole in the roof and away into the sky. "Pitch," North whispered. "How can he be back? This must be big deal." "I'll need to call the others," He said louder. He twisted a lever and pressed it down. The Guardian lights leapt from the globe and into the sky.

Tooth Palace

"San Diego, sector two, four incisors, eighteen molars, two canines. Hong Kong, sector five, fourteen bicuspids, three lateral incisors. London, sector three, we've got a left central incisor on stand-by in Ealing." Tooth was giving orders at the speed of light. The mini-fairies were shooting back and forth between her and the outside world. Some were returning carrying teeth and depositing them in the puzzle-boxes. Some were pressing buttons on the coin dispensers and collecting coins of differing currencies. One of the mini-fairies flew up to her holding an incisor. "Aww, her first fallen milk tooth. Isn't it adorable with all the blood and gum on the bottom?" She looked up at this point and saw the Guardian lights twisting across the sky. She quickly put the tooth down and flew off into the sky. "Wings up ladies and take no prisoners!"

Buenos Aires

Sandy floated high above the ground on his golden cloud of dream sand. Streams of the golden stuff flowed from his hands across the surface of the globe. Where they met the eyes of sleeping children, sweet dreams were spawned. Sandy suddenly opened his eyes. The Guardian lights were shining high above him. He suddenly stopped producing dream sand and moved his hands in complicated movements. The dream sand cloud suddenly transformed into an aeroplane. Sandy reached down below the dashboard, took out a pair of goggles, put them on and set off for the North Pole.

The Warren

Bunnymund sat in his warren, trying out a few new egg colour designs. There was barely a week left to go before easter, but he'd never been late for one yet because, after all, his first and second names made E. Aster. He still had five hundred thousand eggs left to go. He stuck the paintbrush behind his ear and blew on the egg. Something glimmering was reflected off of the surface. He looked up. High through the hole in the roof of the warren the Guardian lights flickering across the sky. "This had better not be about your belly North," Bunny thought bitterly. He got to his feet, tapped the ground with his foot, opened a tunnel and disappeared down it.

Burgess

"GOTCHA!" Jack Frost fell backwards from being hit by a snowball. Jamie raised his arms in triumph. Jack laughed. "Ha. You've learned well Jamie," Jack said pulling himself to his feet. "But there is one thing you've still got to master." "What's that?" Jamie asked, taking a step towards him. Jack waited for a moment for dramatic effect... and hit Jamie with another snowball. "Never let your guard down!" Jamie laughed and picked up another snowball. Jack snatched up another... and stopped dead. Flying across the skies were the Guardian Lights. Jamie, noticing his gaze, looked up and saw the Guardian lights himself. "What are they?" he asked. "They're the Guardian Lights. I'm needed at the North Pole." He looked down at Jamie. "Sorry, but we'll have to finish this game later." Jamie nodded disappointed. Jack picked up his staff and shot into the sky, waving to Jamie as he went.

North Pole

"Cookies? Eggnog? Fruit cake? Hot chocolate?" North offered, holding out a tray of each as he spoke it's name. Bunny pushed the platters aside. "This explanation had better be good North," Bunny said, strolling up to the fireplace and warming his cold feet.

Tooth was hovering in mid-air, still issuing orders to her mini-fairies. Sandy's aeroplane flew into the globe room and promptly dissolved. From the sand cloud emerged the golden figure of Sandy. He looked very irritated. "Yes... I'm sorry Sandy, but I wouldn't have called all of you here unless it was serious." Sandy frowned and rolled his eyes.

There was a bang as the window blew open and Jack flew in. "Don't you ever use the door?" North asked. "Get to the point North, I had to leave a snowball fight," Jack said.

North took a deep breath and said, "Pitch had returned once again!" Bunny, who'd just taken a gulp of hot chocolate to warm up, choked and turned blue. Sandy thumped him on the back. "How can Pitch be back?" Jack asked. He was terrified. He had been responsible for Pitch's downfall. What would happen when Pitch found him? "How do you know it was Pitch?" Tooth asked. "I saw his shadow," North said.

The expressions of the Guardians turned from worried to exasperated. "Don't you have anything a bit more substantial than that?" Bunny asked. "Well, no but I know it was him. I feel it... in my belly." The Guardians immediately broke into arguments and protests. "I've got over ten thousand eggs to finish!" "There are four hundred teeth out tonight!" "I was in the middle of a snowball fight!" "Pitch is up to something!" "I've got to be up to finishing eggs!"

RING-A-LING-A-RING-A-LING! They all turned to see Sandy shaking an elf by the bell. He dropped the elf, conjured an image of the moon, pointed to it and then to the ceiling.

They all looked up. Visible through the hole in the ceiling was the moon. They all stared up at it. A shaft of pale blue light fell upon the ground. A shadow appeared in the middle. It was the outline of Pitch. "Oh god!" Tooth whispered. North patted his stomach, smiling. "What do we do?" Jack asked.

The light fell upon the golden G in the centre of the floor. Out of it rose a crystal. Light reflected off it, bouncing across the room. "Another new Guardian," North gasped. "definitely the leprechaun this time," Tooth said. "Please not the grand elk, please not the grand elk," Bunnymund prayed.

An image formed over the crystal. It was a woman, with frizzy red hair tied in a bun. She was wearing a very strange dress. It was emblazoned with planets and stars. Sitting on her shoulder was a lizard and behind her was a school bus.

"Who's that?" Bunny asked, confused. Jack and Sandy shrugged and Tooth looked lost. "North what do you think? North?" They all stared at the Guardian of Wonder. He looked stunned, an expression of utter incredulity on his face. "North who is that?" Jack asked.

"My great-granddaughter."

I'm not entirely sure to continue or not so I'll wait for at least five reviews.
