A/N: Thank you to all the people who read and reviewed my story. I appreciate them. I am really sorry that it took me this long to update. I have been dealing with a huge headache, and my nephew was over, so he taking over my computer. On to the story. Once again, I do not own Rise of the Guardians.
It had been an hour after Jack left Tooth Palace, Sandy finally caught up with Jack and was currently just flying next to him, offering as much silent confort as he could. When they land at the lake a little while later, Jack looks at Sandy with appreication on his face. After several long minutes of silence Sandy looks over to the boy with the questioning look on his face, and when he knew he had Jack's attention, he asked using his dream sand, "Would you like to talk about what you saw? I understand if you don't want to talk about." Jack sighs and looks down at the lake, and after a few minutes begins to talk to Sandy about his memories. One finished telling about the memories that he saw, he realises that he doesn't feel as upset as he was after coming out of his memories. Sandy sencing this, stands right in front of Jack and asks if he wants to go to with Sandy to his island home, and Jack agrees.
Looking around at the sight in front of them was the sandmans island. It was completely made of dream sand and it was magnificent, castle at its center. As the two where getting closer, Jack could see the creatures of the ocean start to surface and each one greeted the boy and welcomed Sandy back. Even though he knew that Jack wanted to stay and talk to the mermaids and turtles, Sandy turns to Jack and smiles at the look of awe on his face, he gestures for him to follow. When they gets closer to Sandy's home, at the very center of the island, Jack is awed at what he see. There right at the very center of the dunes was a house set on the deck of a ship. The house was made of the same sand as everything else on the island.
After encouraging Jack to follow him, Sandy sits down on one of the many seats in the living room, that he turns to the boy and they are soon engrossed in just talking to each other. Sandy tells Jack all about himself, about how he was a star pilot before his ship was attacked by a man named Pitch Black and his creations, and he ended up on earth. How when he landed on earth, his sand had created an island, which had tendrals of land and at its center where sand dunes . He also told the boy about how MIM asked if when the was not full and bright if he would protect the children, and so with the help of the ocean creatures figured out a way to help the children by using his sand to bring dreams to the all the children. It was while dreaming of helping children that his island changed and a castle took the place of the tendrals of land and dunes.
When finished with the tale and after several moments of silence, thought of the question that he has been thinking about since he left the tooth palace. Sandy turned to Jack, "i know that I have only known you for just a few hours, but I feel protective over you already, and i was wondering if you would like to stay here with me." Jack looked at the sandman with a suprised look on his face and after a few moments the surpise turned to a smile, "I'd like that, but I don't know. I would need to think about it." and so it was after Sandy agreed to give Jack time so that he had time to think about it. However on several nights the boy would join Sandy in bringing dreams. On a few nights when Sandy is spreading dreams by himself, he spots something that unsettles him. There in one of the towns that he is spreading dreams, are several nightmares. Without hestiating, he jumps into action and destorys all the nightmares.
One day, Sandy decides that Jack should meet more of his friends. With this in mind he finds Jack and says, that they are going to be going to introduce some friends of his. Meanwhile, inside of a village children where looking up to the sky and watching as Sandy came closer. When he came close enough the children could see that Sandy wasn't alone and that there was someone with him that they didn't recognise sitting next to him. At first the children had thought that it was Nightlight, however on closer inspection, they could see that there was differences in apperance. Not know what else to do some of the children ran over to a magical oak which served as a house and knocked on the door. The doors to the house opened and two people walked out. The first was an old man with a long beard, robes and a staff, and a young woman who has auburn hair, and gray eyes. One of the children yelled out, "Ombric, Katherine, Sandys coming and he has someone with him. We don't know who it is." Ombric and Katherine looked at each other before shrugging and going to meet Sandy. Once they where standing in front of the new comers, Sandy greeted his friends and introduced Jack to them. Katherine gave Jack a warm smile and said, "It is nice to meet you Jack. You look just like my friend Nightlight." Jack looked at her and asked who Nightlight is. She tells him that Nightlight is MIM protector. She then takes his hand and shows him around and tells him about big root and all the families who live there, while Sandy talks to Ombric. After Katherine finishes the tour, she and Jack join back up with Sandy and Ombric. While Jack had been getting a tour around Santoff Clausson, Sandy had been talking to Ombric about the nightmares that he has been seeing in villiages. Ombrics advice was to continure to keep their eyes open for anymore nightmares and see what they are up to. After saying their goodbyes and promises of visiting again, Jack and Sandy head off to spread dreams.
