"Mom?" Hannah Hale called. "Are you home?" All she heard was silence. Good. She went to her room.

Hannah sat, deep in thought. Are we the first Guardians? Or were there other Guardians before us? What do we guard? Why were WE picked? Why am I the Keeper of the Heart of Candracar? Is there really a place called Candracar? Where is it? How do you get there?

She reached for the Heart, whose chain was secured around her neck. Hannah pulled it off. She stared at it. Then, she shook it. And an amazing thing happened! A swirling silver cut appeared! Hannah cautiously stepped through it. Her eyes bugged out!

In front of her was a palace made in off-white and pure white. There were pillars and towers, and a meditation room, where a man levitated over a pool. Then, Hannah ran back through, and… her mother was standing in front of her.

"Uh… h…h…hi, Mom! N…n…nice d…day, i…isn't it?" Mrs. Hale stared intensely at her daughter. Hannah fiddled with the Heart. Then, the portal disappeared!

"Good afternoon! I see we may have had a little too many of those delicious cookies at the Dragon?" Hannah couldn't help but laugh. She quickly stuffed the Heart back into her shirt. But, not quickly enough. "What do you have around your neck, sweetie?" her mother asked. Hannah scowled.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Now go away! It's been a long day!" Then Mrs. Hale left the bedroom and shut the door behind her. Hannah flopped down on her fluffy green bed. This would be a very exciting, but dangerous, adventure.

SCENE: A dark and gloomy cave

"Father," A dark shadow approached. "I have returned." A man with silver hair stood up. He handed the boy a slip of paper. The shadow boy whirled, then his cape whirled away.

"Take this form and you shall easily pass as human. I'll bet that meddling Candracar has already picked new Guardians! So, your mission is to spy, and figure out who the new Guardians are! Look for any girl with a pink glowing crystal in a silver clasp. Then, watch her, and find out who the other ones are! When your mission is complete, report back to me, son." The boy opened a fold, and disappeared. Then, the man cackled.
