A Rise of the Guardians fanfiction
I do not own Rise of the Guardians.
~Prolouge~
The Man in the Moon was the first Guardian. Everyone knows that. The moon guards the entire earth every night, shedding light upon the children as they sleep. No child ever feared the moon, because its soft whispers would send them to sleep.
However, the man in the moon needed help. So he assigned another Guardian, and called him the Sandman. The Sandman was a short, stout little fellow, with wild golden hair that stuck out around his head. He did not talk much, but he was very expressive in his face. The Man in the moon gave the Sandman the power of magic sand, which could be formed into marvelous shapes and would keep the children happy while they slept. The Sandman was very happy with his new job, and he worked very hard with the Man in the Moon to keep the children safe at night.
Lurking in the Sandman's shadow however was a dark figure. His name was Pitch Black, and he was a polar opposite of the jolly and carefree Sandman. A tall lanky character with sickly grey skin, Pitch thrived on unhappiness and sorrow. Using a black form of the Sandman's magic sand, Pitch the Boogeyman was able to create terrifying monsters to invade children's sweet dreams and turn them into nightmares.
The battle between Pitch and the Sandman was an ongoing one, but eventually the two came to a stalemate. The Sandman was able to protect most of the children, which kept Pitch's powers weak. The Man in the Moon came to the realization that good and bad was always needed, but if there was more good than bad, then the bad could be cancelled out. The Sandman and Pitch were in balance with each other, and the scale was tipped towards good. However, The Man in the Moon knew that a scale can be tipped either way, and if it tipped too far, either good or bad would disappear.
Author's Note: I hope you guys like this new story! I totally fell in love with Rise of the Guardians. I love all the characters, but the Sandman has to be my favorite. While I watched the movie I felt as though Sandman and Pitch were the real enemies, even though all of the Guardians fought against Pitch.
This story is a little different from my last fanfiction. This is just the Prologue, and I tried to write it as though it was a children's story. The rest of the story will probably be written in a different style.
Don't be afraid to review or criticize! I'm not the best writers and I would love to see how I could improve.
