These are stories about the guardians before they became immortal. I know these aren't real ones, I doupt that Sandman and Bunny were ever humans. But I wanted still make stories about them as normal people. I tried to hide in the stories always something that those guardians have these days. I hope you Enjoy!

It was 778 BC.

Yeah, that was a long time ago. Not a single one living human remembered that time. Actually only two living things remembered that time. And one of them was our lovable little Sandman.

That time he was a human. He was a person who died 778 BC. And he was still alive in 2012. But this is the story how he became immortal, the guardian of dreams.

It was middle of summer in Sahara. And it was HOT! Many people died when the heat was all the way up to 70 degrees in shadows. But Harena, today known as Sandman, at age of 23 walked with his camels no matter how hot it got. He had to deliver some water to the small town just a few miles away from his hometown. People there were suffering from lack of water. He tried to safe as many people as he could. But a few miles in desert took almost 15 hours walk. Sandy always left his town when the sun was down so it was much cooler to travel but it was always midday when he arrived to the other town.

Harena was a small man with a big heart. Everyone knew that. Still they didn't give him the gredit he deserved. They were too afraight to show how much they cared about him. He always took as much water he could and every week he walked with his camels throught the burning desert to the town and shared his water with people. Even thought he was really a saviour to them, they kept complaining how the water wasn't enough for them all. Parents always gave their water to their kids and that was something Sandy really appreciated.

Still Sandman knew better. People in this town lived in fear. They weren't able to dream about better future. They couldn't talk kindly to him.

Knowing that, Harena was able to take all the complains in with smile. He wasn't able to talk. His tongue had been cut off. It wasn't really that unusual in that time. Almost every tenth person had lost their tongue for a reason. Harena had been caught from stealing food for his hungry friend when he had been a teenager and the baker had cut his tongue off so he could never tell anyone about his stupid idea to steal. That way no-one other would steal the baker's food. You think that is weird way to think? Well, more or less it had worked. Harena had never ever stole anything after that.

Sandman wasn't chubby like we know he is today. He was thin and short. But his eyes were the same. Every single emotion he had, came clearly out from his eyes. Happyness, sadness, hurt, believe... All of them. And he was really good at expressing his feelings without talking.

But back to the story now. Sandman had given almost all his water to people when suddenly there was a tall, dark haired man walking to him with pure rage on his face. Sandy swallowed. This was not good.

It was Pitch. Well, not the Pitch yet. He was still a human like Sandman. But he had still the power to create fear in people, even in small and kind man. And clearly the man was not happy about Harena being in his town.

Pitch was diffrent too when you compared him into what he is now. Pitch as a human was quite fat person, who had everything he ever wanted. He had dark hair and pale skin. Pale skin in desert meant only one thing. Pitch was rich, and he didn't need to be in the sun working for his food. No, when it was too hot, the man stayed inside his castle and made his servants bring him some food.

"Harena. I have told you that we can take care of our selves. Get out from here. Right now. Next time I will have your head if you enter in this town again!" Pitch, these days known as Tenebris, yelled to the small man. This was Pitch's town and he loved to keep it that way. If someone ever started to see the Sandman as a saviour of them, they would turn against Pitch. That was something that Sandy's twinbrother didn't want to happen.

Yes, they were twins. But you would never meet any other twins that were so diffrent. Ptich had stayed with they arrogand, ritch and cruel parents. He was leater of this town, known of his powers to make people do anything for him just making them fear him.

Sandman had left their palace when he was 12 years-old. He had travelled to the other town and made a life of his own. Now he was short of the head of that town. He was kind, loving and caring and everyone adored him for that. They respected him and every time when the mute man had something to say, they listened.

Without saying a word, Sandman started to lead his camels out from the town. Back to the desert.

Sun burned his skin but it didn't matter. He had to keep walking or he would be dead in hours. He didn't ride on one of his camels, he never did. They had done enough when they carried all that water all the way here. The last he could do for the camels was walk himself and not use the poor animals for his own good.

Sandy was back to his town in middle of the night. It was really freezing cold. But his heart warmed when he saw people coming to him. Those was his wife, who was actually even shorter than he at her age of 19. And there was two kids who he had been looking after for a while. They were orpans and they really didn't have anything other than Sandman and his wife. If they didn't looked after those kids, at ages from 4 to 8, the kids would be dead.

Aurum, his wife, ran to him and tragged him into bone-cruching hug. The kids ran to him too and hugged him as well. The other, 8 years old, was already taller than Harena himself. 4 years old was still a bit shorter.

"Welcome back!" Aurum cried when she let go of him. She always waited him to return from his trips. She didn't argue about him leaving every week to deliver the water but it still pained her. He didn't let her go with him because they bouth knew that he would die in the desert every time when he went there. He didn't want his wife die in hot desert too.

Sandy smiled to them all before he returned the camels to their owners. He wasn't rich so of course he didn't own all those camels. Just one of them. But people let him borrow their camels because in other hand he would be travelling every single day to the Pitch's town to bring water to people. He was too stubborn to his own good.

That night they slept peacefully in their small home. Never knowing what was happening in the town couple miles away.
