A light shone down onto the earth, glowing so bright it blinded the humans around it, leaving only one thing in its wake. A crystal missing more than one piece, a piece that belonged to what others would soon call the guardians.
There would be six guardians in all.
One for Christmas, nicknamed North, named Santa Clause.
One for Easter, named Bunny.
One for Teeth that children would lose, named Tooth.
One for pleasant Dreams, named Sandy.
One for Fun and Winter, named Jack Frost.
The last one would be for Believing and Imagination, named Hope.
These six would protect the world from evil that would threaten the lives of others, and that would effectively destroy the guardians.
All but one would be immortal, being able to live forever was something someone earned, although a price came with it. A big price one would not be willing to give up, but would have to if they wanted to be immortal.
Memories were rare and sacred. These memories would be stored in your teeth so the Tooth fairy could protect them, but they could also be destroyed.
The only reason the guardians are the guardians is because they all saved someone and died in their place. Well all except one. The only one to not be immortal would need to save someone and die to become a full time guardian, but they would never want that. They wouldn't want whoever they saved to be distraught over their death, so they would find a way to live, yet still save someone.
This girl would become a full guardian, immortal or not.
