Hello Too my supportive followers, I know it's been a LONG time. As I reread my uploaded chapters, I realized that they needed some editing! So I edited and re-uploaded them before I update this story more!
As some may remember, I'm only doing this for fun and based my OC from Rapunzel from Tangled, except her hair isn't endless and blonde, eyes are different color and her skin is a bit more rosier. My OC was inspired by my new love of Jackunzel YouTube videos.
**I DON'T NOR WILL I EVER OWN RISE OF THE GUARDIANS. FILM BELONGS TO DREAMWORKS AND CHARACTERS BELONG TO WILLIAM JOYCE!** (Though I do wish Dreamworks would just give me Jack...and maybe Pitch :})
Please enjoy this newly edited prologue!
Prologue: The Shooting Star
Bright violet-colored eyes shot open.
Glancing around her unfamiliar surroundings, a young girl, no older than seventeen, pushed her upper body off the ground, and saw that she was surrounded by tall trees, all perfectly in place, every branch filled with dark green leaves. She looked down and saw she was wearing a deep maroon dress, sleeves made of intricate lace and no shoes. Her hair was a light brown and it flowed down to her waist. She was lost, and couldn't remember how or where she came from.
The crickets chirped and birds sang softly in the night; it was all very calming. She could hear the sound of rushing water in the distance. Curiosity filling her mind, she picked herself off the ground and followed the sound. With every step she took, the sound of the water grew louder and finally led her to a clearing with a large clear blue waterfall and soft grass, the bright flowers all in bloom. The young girl gasped with delight. She'd never seen anything so beautiful; even though she didn't know of anything else before waking up in a forest.
She noticed one of the roses had a bud that had not yet bloomed. She knelt down and softly touched it, and gasped in surprise as she watched it bloom into a full grown rose like the one next to it. She gently touched the grass, making a few more roses grow next to the others. The girl looked at her hands and giggled in amazement. She had powers; actual powers. She jumped around happily, but during the last jump, she realized she never touched the ground again. She looked down and saw that she was still in the air. She could fly too? She put her body in a horizontal position and held her arms out in front of her; she began to fly but suddenly bumped into a tree branch which threw her off balance and the girl fell to the grass. Not willing to give up, she breathed calmly and felt herself floating up again; she started slow and then increased her speed, flying between the trees swiftly and cheering as she began to get the hang of her new ability. She gracefully floated back down until her feet touched the ground once again.
Vida...
A kind voice echoed in her head. The young girl froze.
Vida...
The voice called again. She frantically stood up and scanned her all around her for the source of the voice.
"Who are you?" She asked fearfully. A luminous white light suddenly appeared and shined down on her; she held one of her heads in front of her eyes. She peeked up and saw that it was the moon that had spoken before.
Do not be afraid little one...
And she wasn't. As she gazed up at the moon, she felt her fear ease away. The moon's light grew brighter and the girl felt something come over her.
She saw a beautiful glowing star falling to Earth. But as it grew closer to the ground, it began to float instead of fall. The star was then shaped into the figure of a young girl with long hair and lilac eyes as it was laid on the grass in the middle of a forest. It was her.
The girl blinked and was back in the forest. It was the moon that showed her the vision. They were memories. She was the shooting star. It was all coming back to her.
He was the Man in the Moon; and he sent her here.
Remember now little one?
She nodded. "I do. But…who am I?"
You are Vida Valentine, the goddess of beauty, happiness and love. You were chosen to keep joy alive in children's hearts and love to anyone who may need it. Look to the stream there.
Vida slowly stepped to the rapidly flowing river and sat at the edge. At first, she saw nothing, but noticed that some water from the river flowed away from it and turned into a solid silver arrow with a pink heart shaped tip. Carefully, she picked it up.
The Man in the Moon seemed to read her mind as he said, This is one arrow of many that you shall use for protection, if you may need to.
"But how will I know?" She asked him. She could almost hear a chuckle come from him.
Do not worry my child. You will know whenever the time comes. Now, go to the Guardians...
"The Guardians?" she asked innocently.
Go to the North Pole and look for North, the Guardian of Wonder. He and the other Guardians will help you grow and will teach you their ways. Do you understand young one?
Again, she nodded.
"Yes father."
*LTHE*
North sat in his workshop while the yetis and elves worked on the toys. While checking his list, he heard a small knock on his workshop door.
Strange, he thought, no one knocks on door…
He decided to check on it himself. As he opened the door, he was surprised to see a young girl, with only a dress and no shoes, shivering outside.
"A-are y-you N-north?" she asked.
"Yes, please come in." He watched as the girl tarried in and led her to his large chair by the fireplace. He had the yetis give her a warm blanket and a cup of hot cocoa. Drinking the cup of warm, sweet liquid she received, Vida watched as the tall, exceptionally muscular man, grabbed a stool and sat next to her.
"Feel better?" He asked. She nodded softly, a bit intimidated by the huge man beside her.
"What were you doing out in snow? How did you get here?" he asked the girl.
"I-I flew." North was surprised. That wasn't exactly the answer he was looking for. For a moment, he'd thought the girl was a mortal, but if she flew to his workshop, that could only mean one thing.
"You not human. What are you?" She sat her mug down on a nearby table.
"My name is Vida. Vida Valentine. I was sent here to look for North, the Guardian of Wonder, by the Man in the Moon." North's eyes widened a bit.
"You were chosen by Man in Moon?" Shyly, the young brown haired girl looked into the flames of the fire before her eyes turned back to his own.
"I'm…I'm his daughter."
I do hope you all liked the prologue.
Review for me please and I'll get Jack to send you all fun-filled snowflakes! :D
