Jacks POV:
"But, Jack, when will you come see me?" Jamie exclaims. "I mean, I just found out that Jack Frost is real!" As much as I appreciate Jamie, I can't stay. Being a Guardian has too many responsibilities. "Listen buddy." I reply. "We will always be here, and if Pitch or anyone else tries to hurt you, I will protect you. And besides, you're my first believer! I am never going to forget you!" Jamie smiles and gives me a bear hug. "Jack, you're like my magical, invincible, awesome brother!" I smile as we pull away. "Thanks buddy." When I finish, I feel a tap on my shoulder. "Jack, we need to go." Tooth tells me. "Being a guardian means no play breaks." I turn to face her. She is so unique, from her blue green feathers to her obsession with teeth. I wonder if she was born with feathers, or died like I did, then grew them. "Ok." I reply, and lift into the air. I hear North's sled lifting into the sky. I see him throw his snow globe into the wind. "Tooth Palace!" he shouts. We all fly into the purple-blue portal. North is first, then Tooth and Sandy. I am last because Bunnymound hates flying. I turn around one last time, and see Jamie waving. "Goodbye, Jack! I'll miss you!" I mutter as the portal closes. "Yeah, I'll miss you too, buddy." With that, I turn towards the Tooth Palace, the shimmering portal's light blinding me. When my vision clears, I see the Tooth Palace. The towers spiral upward, making me squint to see the top. I wonder who built the Palace. It's magnificent! Tooth must not expect trouble, because none of her windows have glass or anything. We gather around the Vault, and Tooth's fairies begin to insert the memories into the wall. Every time one of them is returned, the wall lights up. "This place is incredible!" I say out loud. "Hey North! Do I get my own cool hideout?" Everyone burst out laughing, making me blush. "What? It was an honest question!" North come over and stands beside me. "And here's your answer. Long ago, when I was just learning how to be a guardian…" I can hear Bunny chuckling behind me. "Good luck, mate! You have to listen to North's hour-long back-story!" Wait, what? "Nonsense! I can finish in forty-five minutes or so. Anyway, I was the first Guardian, so Man in Moon taught me. He told me that every Summer Solstice, his power is greatest. That is when he gives us our homes." I am so confused. "Wait, so Manny is a real-estate agent?" behind North, Bunny chuckles. "Good one Frost!" North looks at me with a puzzled expression. "No, no, Jack. It is hard to explain, so let me put it this way. On this year's Summer Solstice, we will all gather at my Workshop. Manny's crystal will light up, and then he will show us where your home will be, and what it will look like. Every Guardian is chosen around early spring, like you. Since the Summer Solstice is in June, he a few months to observe you. You know, things like, your favorite color, what you like to do in your spare time, and your favorite terrain. We have all gotten ours on that day, and we have all loved them. The only one who doesn't have a home is Sandy, because he can create objects in mid-air." I turn to see Sandy nodding in agreement. "His powers allow him to make many different houses. Now, all of us have companions. Tooth has her fairies, Bunny has his Warren statues, I have my yetis, and again, Sandy can create any helpers he needs. It will be interesting to see what you end up with." "Yeah! You'll probably get some tap-dancing snowmen!" I point my staff at Bunny, and he stops. "Fine, fine. No need to get touchy!" I hear a humming sound, and find Tooth fluttering behind me. "Now, if your all done trading insults, BUNNY, my fairies need their sleep! I kindly ask you all to leave, but please be quiet. They have had enough stimulation for one day!" I lift off the ground, followed by North in his sleigh. Before I can leave, though, I feel tiny little hands clutching at my neck. "Aw, I'll miss you too, Baby Tooth." When she lets go of me, I turn to the queen of the fairies. "Bye, Tooth. See ya around?" I put my hand on her shoulder, and she blushes bright red. "Oh, uh, I'll see you soon, J-Jack. Goodbye!" I fly out one of her windows, and begin to head east. After a few minutes, I stop. "Wait," I mutter to myself. "Why am I going east? North said I could stay with him at the Workshop, and that's up north." I try to turn around, but the wind won't let me. For a minute, I struggle against the wind, but eventually give up. "Oh! Have it your way! Wind, take me east!" I am instantly pulled east, deeper and deeper into the great unknown.
