3rd Person POV (Most of the story will be like this)
He sees all, magical and not. He knows if darkness rises or light prevails. He watched sadly as they worked relentlessly to raise Him. He looked on helplessly as they lost a member to the darkness. He couldn't help them, or stop them from their tasks, but he could grant a wish. The wish he granted was for magic. Magic that could combat the darkness, and prevent it from ruling the world. He is the One Magic, the source of all powers. He is the beginning of our story, because he chose these five to protect the next generation from the darkness. He is the moon.

Jack Frost flew on the winds, following the northern lights. As a guardian, it was his job to follow the lights when they shone. This was his first, and hopefully only time following them. Why? Because the lights only shine when there is an emergency. And the last time they lit up the sky, it was because Pitch Black appeared in North's workshop. It was also when Jack was chosen as a Guardian. Speaking of them…
At a distance, the winter spirit caught sight of a golden speck that grew into a golden biplane. It was Sandy, the Guardian of Dreams, and Jack's best friend on the team.
"Hey Sandy!" Jack called over the wind. Sandy glanced over, then sped up with a mischievous grin on his face.
'Oh it's on now.' Thought Jack, as he too sped up. Soon they were neck in neck and the North Pole was slowly approaching. As the duo swooped through the doors, they noticed that they were the last ones there. Oops.
"Ah! Sandy, Jack! Good of you to come today!" bellowed North. Nicholas St. North, a.k.a. Santa, stood at the front of the group, next to the globe. He looked as happy as ever, but at the same time, appeared nervous. Flitting around by the fireplace was Tooth, the Tooth Fairy. She darted around, giving orders to the cluster of mini-tooths that surrounded her. Sitting next to her, warming his feet was Bunny. The Easter Bunny/Kangaroo never stopped complaining about the cold. You think he'd be used to it by now, having Jack as a team mate.
"Now zat ve are all here, I vill explain vhat is going on." He paused, almost as if unsure as to the wording of his next statement. Whatever it was, it was obviously going to be bad.
"As you know, three years ago, ve defeated Pitch Black. But now, vhere is a greater threat. Vone that is vorse that Pitch." As the statement sunk in, everyone thought something different. Bunny thought that North must be pulling their leg. There was no bloody way that anything could be worse that Pitch. Tooth feared for her palace, as it had been the first target last time. She ordered two mini-teeth to keep a close eye out for any nightmares, or darkness of any kind. Sandy silently panicked as memories of being taken by Pitch ran through his mind. He could only hope that that wouldn't happen again. Jack closed his eyes as he remembered all Pitch put him through. Making his fears come to life, tricking him, and hurting his friends. If this was worse than Pitch, who knows what might happen.
"Zhadly, zhe threat is close to Pitch." North's voice turned gravely as he spoke.
"'is brother, Zeref. 'E is a dark mage who can create demons, use death curses, and suck zhe very life out of anything." The room grew silent. The nearby yeti's stopped their work to listen. Even the elves quieted down.
"Well that sounds fantastic." Murmured Jack sarcastically. Here he was hoping that maybe it was just a stray nightmare. He did not expect a full blown threat.
"Wait a moment." Tooth started. "You said that Zeref is a mage, right? Well, if he's from another dimension, why does it concern us? Can't that realm handle it?"
Jack was confused until he remembered what North had told him about the universe a few months previously. There were many dimensions. Earth was only one of them. There was also Earthland, Edolas, and more.
"I 'ave to agree mate. What does another dimension have to do with us?" Bunny asked cynically. Sandy began forming pictures over his head. First a person shooting magic, then a strange looking island, and finally a fairy.
"You are right Sandy. Fairy Tail is involved." North proclaimed. After a long pause, Jack asked the question that was in everyone's heads.
"What's Fairy Tail?"
North explained, "Fairy Tail is a mage guild. Zhe members all use magic, and almost no two use zhe same types. Its founder vas friend's vith Pitch before 'e turned evil. It is… dear to me, and because of zhe facts, I fear zat it may be a target."
"So you want US to protect 'hem?" Bunny questioned.
"One would be enough, right North? I mean, some of us would have to make sure Zeref doesn't try anything here, or raise Pitch." Tooth suggested.
"Is a good idea! But who zhould go to 'elp zhem?" The Guardians fell silent as they thought. Then Sandy glanced over at Jack. Tooth mimicked the action a few seconds later. Bunny and North, catching on to the idea, did the same. When Jack looked up next, he found the Big Four staring at him. Defeated, he sighed.
"Fine! I'll do it. But at least let me know when this mission will start." He stated.
"Three weeks. Zhat vill vork." North decided.
(-8- Roses are pixels, violets are too. This line break, may just annoy you -8- )
The Guardians continued their discussion about the matter at hand. All of them, except for Jack, who slipped away unnoticed. He entered North's library, and instantly started looking for books that could in any way help him. Skimming the shelves, he chose two books; A History of Magic and Guilds of Fiore. Flying up to a window where he could sit, Jack began to read the first.
Magic is a very important part of our world. Mages who assist in daily life use this magic to perform tasks that normal humans could not. But no one really knows how magic started. Some believe that it began when a magical animal evolved. Others believe in a theory that magic came down to Earthland like light, in beams that could be absorbed. However, all scholars believe that magic began in one form. This is referred to as the One Magic. No one knows where it came from, or what it even is.
From the One Magic many forms came out. Magical creatures and plants evolved and mages began to either use ability or holder magic. As the names imply, the magic's differ in how you use them. Ability magic is learned, whereas holder magic uses items to channel a mages energy into the world.
Jack read for hours, mind reeling with each new paragraph. He had no clue that so many different magics could exist. Takeover, dragon slayer, support, maker and countless more, all used by at least one mage. Then there was the mysterious One Magic, the source of magic as a whole. No one apparently knew what it was.
From there, the book explained each type of magic. Jack skimmed over each section, hoping for something that could help him on his adventure. Then he stopped. The page before him read, Ice Maker Magic. He read the section carefully. He already had ice magic. This was just another type. After the section was over, Jack resumed his skimming. The book ended, and Jack grabbed the other one. The guilds were clearly a big deal to the author, as the book was 3 times as long as the previous. There were so many guilds written about. Blue Pegasus, which was very focused on beauty and love, Mermaid Heel, which was all girl, and Quatro Cerberus, which was punk. Then, after a long search, Jack found the page on Fairy Tail. He read the general description, then turned the page. As he turned, a folder slipped out of the back cover. Catching it before it fell, Jack opened it.
Every clipping inside had something to do with Fairy Tail. Most of them were about some kind of destruction caused by the guild, but a few were not. Then a clipping at the bottom caught his eye. The headline read, Re-equip Mage of Fairy Tail Missing on Quest to Take Out Dark Guild. What caught Jack's eye wasn't the headline, but the picture on the side. It was faded with age, but the image clearly showed a young North standing in front of the guild. His eyes sparkled the same as the present, but he held a sword with the emblem of the guild on the hilt. Jack read the article, eyes widening with each sentence. Only a few phrases stuck in his head: '…well known throughout Fiore…', '… terrible loss to the guild…', '…nominated for guild master…', '…possibly the strongest mage in history…'
Then the door opened, and a voice called his name.
"Jack? Are you in here?" It was Tooth. Jack realized there was no way that the others would know about this, so he quickly hid the article, closed the folder, and flew down to meet the Guardian.
"What's up?" he asked.
"What are you doing in here? Are you trying to learn more about Zeref?" The concern in her voice was obvious.
"Actually, I was looking up stuff about Fairy Tail, and the magic world in general. I had no clue so many types of magic existed!" Jack exclaimed.
Tooth still looked worried. She could only think about the possibility that Jack was only going because he thought he didn't have a choice.
"You don't have to do this, you know." She stated. Jack was startled. Of course he wanted to do this!
"Tooth, I actually am looking forward to this! I just didn't know that much about magic, being the newest Guardian and all. Besides, I figured I might as well try to…" he trailed off, unsure how to put it.
"Imightaswelllearnmoremagic." He blurted, while turning red. Tooth wasn't unhappy about this though. After all, she knew that Jack could barely do magic without his staff. It would be good for him.
"What kind were you thinking about?" she asked.
"Well, I found this chapter on Ice Maker magic." Jack went on to explain what he was thinking about this magic. And for the first time ever, Jack really was sure that he wanted to protect Fairy Tail.
