This teenage boy may be a guardian, sworn to protect the children of the earth with his center of fun. He may be more accepted from the other guardians, and he might be seen by a handful of children.

But he still slept alone, and that's how he liked it.

300 years of isolation.

It was really overwhelming. The past few days was so overwhelming, that Jack did not show his face for quite a while. None of the guardians seemed surprised to this behavior. Besides, the weather was getting warmer, and that was when Jack hid away until he'd move on to the opposite side of the earth for their snow.

Jack didn't do much when he was alone. He'd sit in the high branches, and cast his gaze over the treetops to the town not far out. The sun crawled behind the horizon, and he smiled as he watched Sandy's dreamsand swirl through the air.

A lot of times, he'd watch the beautiful golden rays until they lulled him to sleep. But tonight, he wasn't very intent with sleeping. He stood up and stretched before taking off.

He leaped down into the snow and walked with a steady pace, knowing Samdman would be there for quite a while. Once he reached the edges of the woods, he looked at the sky, then at the village. Maybe he could visit Jamie. He'd have to hurry before Jamie fell asleep, or before Sandy put him out.

Nah, it was too late for that. So, Jack thought about visiting Sandman. He hadn't talked with the guy since the battle.

Then again, he was used to years between conversations from other people. That was his life, living alone, no one to talk to, and the simple memory of no one believing in him pained him.

He paused at the outskirts of the town, watching as Sandman's golden rays sent plesant dreams to the children.

He then found he didn't want to talk. He made himself upset from his own memories. He backed away slowly, slipping into the shadows of his forest home, and retreated to his lake.

There, he climbed up into the trees and settled on a branch, shifting to make himself comfortable. He kept his eyes closed. Three centuries of no one. Had that silence really changed from his guardian ceremony? Was there any difference to his life now?

He opened his eyes, spotting Sandy's golden sand rays spiraling over the treetops, stretching towards the guardian. It sprinkled it's golden sparkles over Jack's head, letting comfort overtake his body. Thanks, Sandy.

Yes, his life had changed. Sure, he lived alone, but now he had friends. That was the last thing that came to his mind before he let Sandy's dust put him to sleep with a plesant dream.

I apologize for such a short chapter, but I had to write it out XD The next ones will be longer. Thank you for the follows, faves, and reviews!
