What's your Center Skywise?

I don't own "Rise of the Guardians"

"This is great!" Jamie or as he was now preferred to be called "Skywise" shouted as he soared behind Jack. "I'm free! Free from the Ground, Ageing, Responsibility, and even though I sort-of just died, I've never felt so alive!" he thought joyfully.

Jack looked back at his newly transformed little brother and smiled as he watched him dive and rise and spiral through the clouds then as he was about to resume the lead he heard the familiar sound of the pan flute behind him. When he looked back he saw that the clouds around Skywise were being reshaped by a stream of musical notes made of rainbowed colored light that was coming from the flute.

"Woah!" Jack thought aloud as he made his way over to Skywise who had his eyes closed while playing. As the song continued the colored notes changed into shapes of transparent butterflies that swarmed all around both him and then Jack and transformed the surrounding clouds into the shape of a pirate ship. It sort of reminded him of Sandman's sand only different.

"Skywise, keep playing but open your eyes." Jack said whispered as he watched the scenery.

Skywise's neon teal green eyes opened and slightly bulged when he saw the effect his music was having, so, he thought he'd try something different. He imagined the sound of the pipe organ, and the pan flute adapted to the thought giving it the sounds of a pipe organ, however something unexpected happened when he did this. The rainbow notes took on darker shades as he experimented with the range and depth of the melody and started to look like a swirling rainbow colored lighting shield around his body that started to send bursts of colored lighting across the sky. Realizing that this could be dangerous, and after receiving a slightly horrified look from Jack he stopped playing altogether.

"I'm so sorry Jack I honestly didn't know that would happen" Jack just smiled and ruffled his little bothers crimson hair. "It's okay, the only way for you to learn what you can do is to experiment. Heck, that's what I did! "

Skywise got a thoughtful look "So…. none of the other Guardians helped you?"

Jack crossed his arms "Pft, helped me? They ignored me for about three hundred years! I got tossed out of North's workshop more than ten times! How was I supposed to know they were secretly watching me to see how I developed?" Jack said as he started to wave his arms around in the air, He was starting to get a little ticked thinking back on it all. However, Sky's sudden warming embrace caught him off guard but also soothed him.

"I guess I'm lucky I have you as my brother then huh?" Skywise stated, more than asked.(Even though he was just an inch shorter than Jack now).

Jack smirked and then gently pushed him off "Cut that out, are trying to melt me or something?" He asked jokingly.

Skywise immediately backed away eyes wide "No! I can't really do that can I?!" he asked afraid he had injured his big bro.

"Nah, I was just joking, as far as I know, hugs have never had a negative effect on me." Jack replied then took a second before continuing "Not that I've ever had that many, my total immortal life count is now eight, counting the one you just gave me, so let's just hope I don't melt." He said with a visible shudder as he imagined actually melting into a puddle of water. "Any way let's get moving, I thought you wanted to see that Island?" Skywise grinned and nodded his reply. "Well then let's goooooooooo!" he shouted as he sped off into the starry night sky. With Skywise trailing close behind.

After a while Jack stopped and waited surveying the sky as if he were looking for something particular. Skywise looked at Jack and asked "What are you doing?"

Jack spoke still surveying the sky "After that one time I found the Island, I stared to gather information about it when I couldn't find it again, but mostly by going to the same spot, then I discovered there were conditions to getting there. First, we locate the only star that doesn't move the star named Polaris, then wait till dawn we make our way to the second star to the right of it as the sun begins to rise, then the portal will open just as the first light of Dawn breaks. Ah, there she is! Come on Skywise, Head to the seconded star to the right strait on till morning!" Jack said as he approached the thinly visable veil that was starting to open to what seemed like another world inside a cloud bank. As they passed through There was a flash and they were on the other side of the portal.

"Jack! This isn't a Floting Island!" Skywise said looking down over the vast landscape "This is a whole-nother world! I knew it! You didn't find an Island in the sky, you found Neverland!" Jack gave his new sibling a dumb look then asked. "Huh, what-now I discovered never-where?" Sky looked over at his older brother with an 'Is he serious?' expression on his face, and answered with a question "Jack have you ever Read the stories written by "J. M. Barrie" ?"

Jack stopped midflight as he felt that Sky knew more about this place than he did. "Nope, care to explain where this is going?"

Skywise did an eyeroll and started to explain the geography, the connectedness of children's dreams becoming part of an actualized reality, a forever changing landscape, the existence of pixies, and sprites, and the endless possibilities for adventures, and anything and everything relating to Neverland.

After a lengthy explanation Jack asked something that was bothering him about the whole idea. "But Skywise if you are Peter Pan and in the books he never left this place then how come you are Just now arriving here now a hundred years or so after the books were written?"

This caught Skywise off guard "I don't know, maybe because here the concept of Earth's time or time in general does not apply?" He reasoned.

Another voice chimed in at that moment "Jolly good guess Peter but not quite." A beautiful women with Giant Shining Butterfly wings materialized out of light golden sand like the Sandman's in front of them "I am Queen Serenity, Twin Sister to the man in the moon and wife to the Sandman." She said with a warm smile.

This was a shock for both of the brothers. Jack was the first to speak. "I didn't Know the sand man had a wife, In Fact, I don't think that any of other the Guardians know for that matter."

She put her hand up to her mouth and laughed mirthfully at this, "They don't Jack, and neither does he for that matter, You see, he was once a mortal Shepherd many years ago until I fell in love with him, but the only way to achieve immortality is through death or…. eternal sleep, and so I placed a blessing on him as he drifted off one night and transformed him into what you know today as the Sandman. "

While Jack reflected on this information Skywise asked what had started the meeting to begin with. "So how is it that the books were written before I came to be Peter Pan? Was there once another?"

She smiled and shook her head. "No, those were a prophecy and a lure created by the Pixie Queen Bellanna to attract the most worthy spirit who desired both true freedom and adventure, to serve as the Guardian of Inspiration and Creativity. Peter, in this world you can freely watch and influence the imaginations, ideas, daydreams of children in the waking world as this world is the world of possibilities, or can return to the waking world and have a direct influence but I would have one of the Guardians like Jack here watch over you for your power is still new to you and as you've no doubt suspected quite dangerous if misused, and there are those who would seek to use you to that end."

Jack had been listening and his face Darkened "Like Pitch"

"Or beings far more powerful and fearsome." Serenity added

"Who!?" Jack and Skywise asked simultaneously.

"There are three Spirits of Evil, Chaon the Dark spirit of Chaos, Necromos the Spirit of Oblivion, and last but not at all least Eris the wicked spirit of Discord, she will be particularly hard for either of you to resist."

Jack Just sneered "Oh really I resisted Pitch and-"

"That is because Pitch is creepy, and a male." Serenity said flatly cutting him off, before continuing "Eris is beautiful, a woman, devious, cunning, and clever. To defeat all of them you will have to enlist the help of the Five new Immortals that are being born as we speak. Ask For North's help, tell him it's a request of the keeper of the Dawn and Dusk, he'll know what it means oh and in case you are wondering, I "am" a Guardian, The Guardian of Faith."

She smiled at both of them, and spoke again. "For either of you to return here, just do what Jack has shown you and follow the path to dawn. Now I have to go, it seems the Mermaids have discovered that you are here, and would like nothing better than to seduce you two." And with that she disappeared in a flash, of light leaving behind the sound of her enchanting laughter.

Skywise turned to Jack with wide grin. "I guess we have our mission."
