Rise of the Guardians
Kade's Story
Jack was floating inside the frozen pond. His eyes fluttered open as he broke through the thin layer of ice. He gasped for air as he floated upwards, into the dark blue sky. The moon sparkled gently as Jack looked around and landed back onto the ice. Once his feet touched the surface, the ice magically froze back together. Jack gasped and walked forward a bit. There was a light clatter as Jack kicked a large stick. He looked down at it and tapped it with his toe. The stick suddenly glowed a light blue. Jack gasped and backed away from it and then picked it up. It fell from his hands with a clunk. It made a huge patch of ice cover the pond. He chuckled and walked over to a tree. He tapped the edge of it against the tree, making a patch of ice on the trunk. He smiled and saw another tree next to him. He tapped the stick on that tree, too. The same thing happened. He laughed and ran across the ice, dragging the crook of the stick across. He slipped a bit until a gust of wind shot him into the air. He gasped and yelled out in fear. The wind stopped blowing and Jack fell face-first into a tree branch. He sat up on the branch and saw a small village in the distance. The wind blew him there and he fell into a pile as he landed on the ground, tripping over his coat. He laughed a bit and waved to people walking. "Hello. Hello. Good evening, ma'am. Ma'am?" he said, walking along the path. Two kids were chasing their dog. "Ooh. Excuse me? Can you please tell me where I am?" Jack said, kneeling down. The kids ran right through him. Jack stood up and gasped. He looked around, sighed, and walked off. Meanwhile, I was staring into white light. It was blinding. I saw a man wearing a white and gold robe walk towards me. I backed up. "I mean you no harm, Kade." he whispered. He looked about 79 years old. "W-Who are you? Where am I? What do you want?" I asked, walking around in fear. The man chuckled. "I am the Man in the Moon. A close friend of mine told me you died. And you, my friend, are in the Clockworks. And also, Kade, I wanted to tell you, if you want to go back to Earth, just go see Father Time and he will allow you to return. There will be, some, changes in your life. Now, if you excuse me, I have business to attend to." he said. I was confused "Wait! Who's Father Time? Where can I find him? What are the changes?" I said but it was too late. The man had faded away. I walked forward and saw a younger man sitting in a chair, surrounded by small clocks and computers. I walked up to him. He turned his head and saw me. "Ah, you must be Kade. Manny had told me about you. Now, where are you heading?" Father Time said. I looked at the computers. Each and everyone of them were labeled different countries, states and continents. I pointed to the third computer. Father Time nodded and pressed a button. "Goodbye, Kade!" he waved. I warped back to Earth in a second. I was surrounded by people. It didn't seem like they were looking at me. I stood up. I heard a very loud clank. I looked down and saw a dagger, a sword and a scabbard. I put them on my back and walked forward. These things were massive! I tripped on a stone and fell through a person. I almost screamed in fear. I gasped and tried to touch the man in front of me. My hand went through him. I whimpered in fear and looked around. I walked through people and cars. I had nowhere to go. These were the changes that Manny had told me about. And Jack and me didn't like them at all…
