One: The Threatened Spirit
21st Century Asia…
The Tooth Palace…
"Mom, I told you, I'm fine!" A girl with long brown hair exclaimed towards a hummingbird-like creature.
The girl had had an ombre harem, its waist started with a bright golden yellow that faded into a blood red. A red sports bra had shown through her golden crop top and her sandals were maroon. She had short curly hair, brown roots and blonde tips. Her eyes were gold with white pupils and her skin was a tanned colour. Her lips were a beautiful red. The only accessory on her body was a hip bag tied to her waist.
The hummingbird-like creature had purple eyes and tan skin. Instead of hair, she had feathers that made a curved upward style. She did not wear clothing, instead her entire body seemed to be covered in mini feathers. Around her wrists and ankles there seemed to be golden lines that appear to look like golden bracelets and golden anklets, as well as gold feathers on either side of her head for earrings. She had long, drapery feathers that started at her waist line and ended at her knees. They gave the appearance of a skirt or dress. She was known as Toothiana, the Tooth Fairy. Beside her, was a smaller version of Toothiana, but had different eye colours compared to Toothiana. She was known as Baby Tooth.
"Kalani, you know your ribs didn't heal the way they should have. You are not okay. Your breathing is shallow and you know that when you fly, you get tired faster than anyone else! Now please, use your Cowrie Shells. Just to ease my mind" Toothiana tried
"But… I like flying…" Kalani sighed, casting her eyes down to her feet.
"I know, but I worry about you" Toothiana smiled warmly, cupping Kalani's cheek. This caused Kalani to look up at Tooth.
"Fine… If it'll ease your mind…" Kalani smiled
"Thank you" Toothiana said, kissing Kalani's forehead.
Kalani stood back, dug in her hip bag and pulled out a cowrie shell. She sighed and threw the shell to the ground near her feet. Blue smoke enveloped Kalani, making the air smell like the ocean breeze. As the smoke cleared, Kalani was gone. As this was a normal occurrence, Toothiana turned and went on with her business. Flying up to her normal spot to look over the mountain ranges, she saw the Northern Lights. She gasped as she knew what it meant. North was calling a Guardian meeting… meaning that the children could be in danger.
Burgess…
Kalani appeared near the Lake, blue smoke still surrounding her. She stepped away from the smoke and into the night, she was lucky enough that children weren't around to see the smoke. She saw the white snow still covering the ground and trees, she muttered under her breath as it was still cold.
She moved her hands over her arms and moved them down to her wrists. Golden light seemed to float over her arms and legs. When the light dissipated, it had revealed different clothing. Her red sports bra and golden crop top melded into a large baggy sweatshirt. It looked like a hoodie but it had no pockets. Her feet weren't too much bothered with the cold. Her harem was untouched.
She shuddered and sighed, still muttering under her breath of how she hates the winter and the spirit who controlled it. He was always the one for mischief.
North Pole…
"North, you know summer's coming and I have to get my beauty sleep" A boy with white hair, striking blue eyes, and pale skin whined. He had a tall stature, albeit slim. His clothing consisted of a blue hooded sweater, frost collecting around the ring of the collar, and brown trousers. He was known as Jackson Overland Frost, or Jack Frost, however you'd like to call him.
"What beauty? Ya ain't nothin' next to pretty, Frostbite" A Pooka with greyish-blue fur, flower-like imprints on both his forehead and shoulders, and bright emerald-green eyes scowled in an Australian accent. He wore leather bracers set with orange stones, a single-strap holster with which he carried boomerangs, and leather wrappings on his feet. He was known as E. Aster Bunnymund, the Easter Bunny.
"Says the guy who shrunk down to a tiny little rabbit" responded Jack
"I would not have called you here if it was not important." An immense man; tall, buff, and a little rotund stated in a Russian accent. He had bright blue eyes, thick black eyebrows, and a long white beard and moustache. He was known as Nicholas St. North, Santa Claus.
"What's the problem North? Is it the children?" Tooth questioned
"Worse, I think Pitch might be planning to turn someone" North responded with worried tone
"Who?" The trio asked in a confused manner, while a short and squat individual, garbed in an outfit made of Dreamsand appearing as a night robe, made a question mark above his head. His hair, vaguely clownish, was golden and short, styled into five points, and glittered like his sand. He also had tiny feet and golden brown eyes. He was known as Sanderson Mansnoozie, the Sandman.
"A girl of sorts… she had long curly hair and had big pants, that was all I could see. Black sand covered her though, like Pitch was symbolising of taking her away" North responded, "her scream was somewhat familiar, very familiar…"
"So… Pitch is after a… girl? What would he want with her?" Jack asked.
A white glow was seen shining through the sun roof. Sandman looked up and saw the light, his eyes widening. He waved his arms, trying to get the attention of the others. Everyone ignored him though, he growled, but no sound was made. Sandman approached Jack and tapped his leg. Jack looked down at him,
"What's wrong Sandy?" Jack asked
Sandy made a crescent moon above his head and pointed to the light. Jack looked up and frowned, "Thanks Sandy"
"Guys, the Man in the Moon." Jack said, pointing towards the moon inching further to the right.
They looked up and saw the light. The light shined on the floor with the letter G on it, a shadow image appeared of a strange nature. It had looked like a boy with wild hair.
Burgess…
"Why did it have to be night?" Kalani muttered
She was walking on the wires of a telephone pole. While she walked on, the ice melted off and dripped onto the ground. Her thoughts kept on wondering on the topic of how she even ended up on the beach 300 years ago.
Did an animal drag me there… No, why would an animal do that? The only logical reason is that someone put me there… but, who would be that heartless?
Her thoughts were interrupted when a strong, cold wind hit her, almost making her fall off the wire. She shivered, but looked around for the spirit responsible for the wind. She heard someone run past her, thus making her turn around. She saw a shadow of something moving, chasing after it, she giggled slightly. Her giggles vanished into the night as she leapt from building to car to trees and back to buildings. She stopped at an alley, jumping from the roof to the ground, she grunted softly as the pain shot through her ribs. She looked around for the mysterious shadow,
"Hey Shorty" A familiar voice chuckled
She whipped around and saw a tall boy stand on his staff, beside him was a tall Pooka who examined a boomerang.
"Bunny! Jack! Long time, no see" Kalani smiled. She tried to hide the fact that she was holding her ribcage.
"A really long-time" Bunny responded. Kalani had known this Pooka ever since she met Tooth. For some reason… Kalani saw him as a father figure
"Still have that sunburn I gave you, Jack?" Kalani giggled.
"I hate you" Jack simply said as he narrowed his eyes.
"Same here Frosty hupo" Kalani smiled warmly. She liked to speak in her language when he was around. It meant that she could mess with him whenever she wanted to.
"I think I'm gonna enjoy this…" Jack smirked as he crossed his arms.
Before Kalani could respond, she was lifted off the ground and thrown into a bag, much to her protests. She heard strange creatures grumbling, with Jack responding,
"Yeah, okay. It's much faster anyway"
"Still using my tunnels" Bunny said in his signature accent.
And with that Kalani felt herself thrown into a portal.
