Faith and Guidance precedes the Miracle

This is a crossover sequel to my story 'Believing is always worth seeing'. It will be a crossover of 'Rise of the Guardians' and 'Voyage of the Unicorn'. I hope you all enjoy the story and R&R to tell me what you think of it so far.

Summary

Through her journey with the human family, who Ivy will guide on their journey while helping to restore their belief in magic, she hopes to rescue her Guardian family members.

Prologue

Ivy's profile:

It's been about a month since the day my life had changed from being a normal girl to becoming a Guardian apprentice. Life with the Guardians of Childhood is pretty good...if not complicated. There were a few ups and downs from time-to-time, but we always get through it together as a family.

North had taken on the role of being my eccentric grandfather, who has a tendency to spoil me with gifts and sweets once in a while. He can be a little over bearing at times, but his heart is in the right place...and he can be a little over protective.

Toothianna, the Tooth Fairy, had taken on the role of being my mother/sister. She would constantly fuss over me whenever there's a Guardian meeting or when I visit her at Tooth Palace. She would make sure that I have been taking care of my teeth, and that I was eating enough healthy foods. Tooth was always good company when it comes down to girl talks. There were things that I couldn't really talk about to the male members of my new family, so it was nice to have to have a female within the group to talk to.

Sandy is the crazy uncle of the family. He would sometimes tell me funny stories about what had happened to him and the other older Guardian members in the old days. Way before me and Jack had joined the group. He's also a good listener and is good at keeping secrets. So, whenever I had a secret that I can't tell to the others, I can always count on Sandy to keep it.

Bunny winded up becoming the older brother who was always looking out for me and Jack. Bunny would teach me a few fighting techniques to make sure that I was able to defend myself. Just encase I winded up fighting against hostile spirits that I might unexpectedly cross paths with. Bunny also teaches me about my ancestors' heritage and tells me how much he knew about them. Bunny can be a bit grumpy at times, but he's a softy when he wants to show his gentle side. I also see Bunny as a father figure as he would sometimes comfort me whenever I had a bad day or if I just need some quiet company.

Baby Tooth and Fayette are the little sisters I never thought I would have. Baby Tooth was the more matured little sister, who tries to keep all of her other sisters in line. The reason for that is that her sisters would sometimes gain-up on Jack so that they could get a glance at the winter spirit's perfect white teeth.

Fayette was the more adventurous little sister, who would take a break from her teeth collecting once in a while to follow me around for a bit. Fayette and I are really close, and if one of us had a problem then we'd try to help each other as best we could.

And last, but certainly not least, was Jack Frost the prankster of the family. Jack became the middle brother of the family, who would once in a while play a couple of pranks on me when I least expect it. He can be kind of annoying at times, but Jack was always fun to hang around whenever I wanted to have a little fun. When I go to visit Jamie and Sophie in Burgess, I would find him visiting his believers as well. Jack was always the one I go to when I'm feeling down and I needed someone the cheer me up. Jack would sometimes talk me into pulling pranks on our family members, but I always made sure that I didn't get involved when it came down to pranking Bunny.

It's taken a while for me to get used to being part of the Guardians' odd family, and I'm still getting used to being coddled or fussed over like a new born baby by North and Tooth. Being part of the family was a really big step for me, and I wasn't sure I would be able to fit in. But I was glad that I've met people, or in this case, spirits, who accepted me for who I am. I just hope that I would be able to become a Guardian one day to show them I'm able to help fight against another dark spirit, who would try to threaten the children again. What I didn't know was that I would be taken on an adventure all on my own to save not only them, but to help a family, who is chosen to stop an evil from leaking into the mortal world. I also need to help this family save the magical creatures that are being enslaved, and guide them back home. While also showing them the joy, wonder and dreams of this strange new world. I will also have to help them overcome the sad memories of their past, and to help keep their hope alive.

My name is Ivy Ōkami and this is my story of how I learn to be a Guardian and Guide to a family who will sail across a magical world full of danger and wonder.

Chapter one: Fooling Around

It was a beautiful afternoon in the wild lands of Alaska as the warm wind of spring blew through the trees. The snow had almost melted off the ground and a few green plants were appearing throughout the forest. In a small clearing within the forest, two large figures were walking around as they were looking around each tree that they passed by. The two figures soon walked out into the sunlight to reveal themselves to be yetis. One of the yetis was a dark grey, while the other one was a light brown. They walked round the forest for bit before a cold wind suddenly replaced the warm breeze. A figure suddenly dropped down from out of nowhere as they landed lightly on the ground. The two yetis looked behind them in surprise. The figure, like the yetis before it, stepped out into the light of the sun to reveal themselves to be none other than Jack Frost, the spirit of winter.

"You find anything yet?" asked Jack with a light frown on his face.

The two yetis answered with a shake of their heads, which caused Jack let out a sigh of frustration.

"Keep looking," said Jack as he walked away from the two yetis.

The winter spirit soon came to a large clearing as he took in his surrounding with his body slightly tensed. It looked as if Jack was expecting to be pounced on at any moment.

"Come on, where are you?" whispered Jack quietly to himself.

Suddenly, Jack heard a snarl from among the trees behind him. He quickly turned around and shot a burst of ice and frost in the direction he had heard the snarl come from. Jack kept still for a second before he took a cautious step forward. Then, without warning, he found himself being tackled from behind. Jack rolled onto his back and was about to sit up, but was stopped by a heavy weight that gently, yet firmly pressed down on his chest. He soon found himself staring up into the smirking face of a large wolf, who just so happened to be his adopted sister, Ivy Ōkami.

"Got ya!" exclaimed Ivy with a chuckle.

She then lifted her head skywards and began to howl triumphantly towards the heavens above her. Jack playfully pouted up at his adopted baby sister before chuckling as he lay on the ground, while being pinned underneath her. Sometimes this would happen whenever they played with each other, and it would always wind up with him being pinned down by Ivy in the end. Jack was about to say something, but he was quickly interrupted when North suddenly shouted at him and Ivy.

"Alright, alright already! Knock off rough housing!" exclaimed North as he walked up to the duo with Tooth, Bunny and Sandy following behind him.

Ivy let out a groan of disappointment before she got off of Jack, and turned as she walked away a few steps away with an annoyed look on her face.

"Ivy!" exclaimed North in an exasperated voice, "How can we teach you to be a Guardian if you don't sit? You don't sit nowhere for five seconds!"

"Kind of like someone else we know." Bunny muttered with a smirk as he glanced towards Jack.

"Give me a break, Bunny." Jack said as he dusted himself off before picking up his staff, which had fallen out of his grasp from Ivy pouncing on him. "You should know by now that I go wherever the wind takes me."

Bunny rolled his eyes, while Ivy huffed in amusement before she changed back to her human form. Ivy still wore the cloths that North had given to her during their battle against Pitch a month ago. But unlike when she had first been recruited, Ivy looked cleaner and fitter than before.

Her hair was now clean and cleared of knots, and was now tied back into a low ponytail. Her face and hands were clean with no signs of dirt smudges on them, and she was gaining a bit of weight, along with some muscle. Ivy was fed and trained by the four Guardians, who wanted her to have a better life than when she had been living on the streets. Being under their constant care had made Ivy gain more confidence within herself, while also gaining a bit of a rebellious side thanks to her older brother Jack.

Ivy crossed her arms over her chest as she turned to face North with a light smirk on her face. She always made it a habit to correct North on his grammar whenever he gets his sentences wrong.

"That's 'Anywhere' North," Ivy corrected the Guardian of Wonder.

Jack chuckled along with Sandy and the two yetis that stood off a little to the side.

"What anywhere!?" exclaimed North as he threw his arms up into the air in frustration.

Tooth shook her head before she flew over to Ivy and placed a hand on the young girl's shoulder.

"Now, Ivy, don't go confusing North," chided the Queen Fairy gently as she gave the wolf-girl a light scolding. "He's only trying to help both you and Jack."

Ivy sighed as her shoulders slumped a little in exhaustion and exasperation.

"Tooth, I know you and the others are trying to help me and Jack become better Guardians, but North's lectures are getting more and more boring by the day." Ivy said with a tired look upon her face. "Furthermore, North is always bringing up Christmas within his lessons."

"Well of course I bring Christmas up in lessons!" exclaimed North in a prideful voice, "Christmas is a time of Wonder. As I always say..."

"Easter doesn't hold a candle to Christmas," drawled Ivy and Jack as the first teen rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"We know, but don't you think that you're being a little too boastful about your holiday, North?" asked Ivy in a tired voice.

North took on a thoughtful look for a moment before he answered with a shake of his head.

"No, I do not."

Ivy let out a frustrating sigh as Tooth let her hand drop from the teen's shoulder. Ivy then took a calming breath in before she tried to talk some sense into North.

"Okay, listen North, Christmas is 'Your' holiday. Not mine. The reason for that is because Christmas doesn't really fit my character."

"That's what I keep telling him," said Bunny as he walked up to Ivy before he stood in front of her. "But that's still no excuse for you to go running off before the end of your lessons, Wolf-pup."

"I know," sighed Ivy in a tired voice, "It's just that..."

"No more excuses," cut in North with a frim look upon his face. "It's time we go back to Workshop to finish your studies."

With that said, North pulled out one of his snow globes and whispered the name of their destination before throwing it to the ground. The globe broke and a bright flash of light appeared. The image of North's Workshop appeared for a brief moment before it turned into a vortex. North was the first one through the portal, before Tooth, Sandy and the two yetis following right after him, while Bunny, Jack and Ivy hung back to watch them. Ivy let out a sigh before she followed after the two yetis and three Guardians with Jack and Bunny following right behind her.

'Yet another boring day of lessons with North.' Ivy thought quietly to herself.
