Title: The Land of No Return
Authors Note:
EndlessWolves:
Hello there, this is another installment of The Land of No Return; normally I would switch to Tala's point of view. To readers out there I bet your wondering how she is fairing? Well I cannot say much but Tala's story is going to be out on hold for a while after this one chapter is done. Please keep in mind that I have not read the books or any history about how the golden ages and dark ages work. This is my take on it in the past, so sorry if it is not the same as the books and I am sorry for the lateness of this chapter. Well, happy reading!
Lolanice:
I am so stoked for this chapter…It is filled with fillers and History of the Companions. EndlessWolves also make it, so you know it has to be good and long. When she showed me it, it was at least 20 pages long! Okay enough of my boring talk…Review, Read, Meow and Howl on!
Lolanice and EndlessWolves friend (Anonymous):

(I already know that Lolanice probably already answered your questions but for the sake of the story, here are my responses.)
Yeah, there is going to be a couple of prophecies in this story. The one that you are referring to is about Tala. What it means is that if Tala does not find hope or true happiness in her life, she is going to fall into an unloving environment. To sum up the point, if Tala fails to find this hope, and happiness, Tala and Lola are going to end up on different journeys in life. Lola will not have Tala in her life if Tala fails to find it.
Oh yes, your right, the Companions do have a romantic ship connection with their guardian (Except Tina Coin, and Sandman, unless you count that as a father to daughter relationship.) In this chapter, you are going to have a better understanding about the Companions, and what they do.
How to pronounce the names? Exactly how they sound:
Tala is T-ahh-laa
Lola is Low-laa or Low-laa-nice for Lolanice
I know you did not ask for this, but I messed up on Tina's pronounced all the time so,
Tina is Teen-agh
I hope that explained things, and enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 6 – The History of the Companions
In the Universe, there was one creator. In this world, a moon was up in the sky watching down on us.
However, there are also the ones who watch in the shadows waiting until they were ready to pounce. These were the times where anything could happen.
They were not created; they were always there from the beginning of the start of the world.
Danger was wrapping up the land and soon.
However, the thing was there was no world; there was simply nothing but a blank world.
The Creator had an idea to make this one world less lonely and created a happy place with beings such as humans and animals.
The darkness seeing what the creator was doing, took its chance and gave darkness to the world.
This is why the world is tainted. Things can be happy one moment and dark the next. A big balance to even things out: Good vs. Evil, Darkness vs. Light; that was all there was until that fateful day.
Kozmotis Pitchiner was guarding the Fearlings. He wore a black uniform of some sort with black hair and the kindest brown eyes. He also wore a locket around his neck that he brought everywhere. Inside the locket was his precious daughter and he made sure no one could touch it. He was the General of the Galaxies, the Protector of the Golden Ages and a great father. No one would ever imagine what happened next. The Feelings that he was guarding were servants to the darkness that the moon apprehended. When the darkness was, caught, the people were overjoyed not even knowing that there was other darkness waiting to get them.
However, no matter how much the other darkness has tried to free the Fearlings and put darkness into people's hearts. The moon would shine them away, getting energy from the people's happiness.
Thus, the Golden Age was created.
Nevertheless, as years went by, people started taking things for granted. They did not know the difference anymore between the bad or the good. It was oblivion, a peace heaven and the creator wanted it that way as he looked down on his people that he called children.
They should not have to worry about the bad just the good but the creator also knew that darkness was needed, in order for the beings to learn but as hard as he could he kept the golden age.
Ever since the moon shined that day people started talking about beliefs, and why they were there in the first place. This was now a time of confusion for man and soon woman.
People believed the Creator was God, a lot of them did, but there were the others that noticed the light of the moon and they dubbed the creator, The Man in the Moon.
No matter what they believed in it did not matte because, little did they know they believed in the same person.
The darkness knowing too except defeat, did not go away until its last breath and as the days went on, the darkness grew stronger. They stayed in the shadows of forests, and places where the beings and The Man in the Moon, would least expect, waiting for their chance to return once more.
And, return they did, they kept an eye on the Golden Age General: Pitchiner Black and learned more about him, his Wife and daughter. He was a loving father and the greatest general that served to the moon and back and the darkness knew that.
Yet the darkness waited… They could not leave the dark, and go out into the sunny mornings but they also could not leave into the night because the moons rays would catch them.
Therefore, they waited for the day on once a blue moon for the eclipse.
When the moon was out and the sky was Pitch Black, they made their move to the Fearlings cage. Knowing they couldn't yet free their friend because no darkness could get in or out the hard way; when they tried to free them. They told the Fearlings the secret about one of the Golden Age guards that has been guarding them 24 seven.
Kozmotis Pitchiner however was not seen at this event because the darkness distracted him away from the cage and by the time he turned around the dark creatures by the cage were gone.
The Fearlings chuckled to themselves, as tonight they would finally be free.
Pitchiner, took back his post and looked down at his hand where a locket was dangling from his fingers before the sound of his daughter caught his attention.
A young female voice shouted, "Daddy!"
The Golden General spun around and saw his daughter in the cage.
"Emily!" He shouted.
And just like that, letting fear take over him for the sake of his daughter. He opened the cages to free his daughter, not even stopping to think how his daughter ended up inside, because like any father, they would risk everything to save their children.
However, the Fearlings took that chance and freed out of the cage. Kozmotis daughter disappeared and they chuckled again before they launched at their first pray in decades since the start of the Golden Ages.
Suddenly, the darkness caught on to their idea, and gave power to the Fearlings then to change this Golden General into something he is not. Something corrupted and that he would forget everything about his past. They named him Pitch Black after the Pitch Black sky. However, no one noticed the white bright star that shined over ahead.
Pitch became dark, he wore a robe as dark as night and ended on the ground that you could not even see where his shoes were. His skin the most deathly grey and his yellow and silver eyes flashed through the darkness. Hair as black as the Fearlings and a scythe as dark as everything else, he was no longer the loving father and husband. He was cold and dark.
Fear soon went over the people…
The wife seeing her turned husband that now ruled on fear found their daughter and shook her awake.
The wife was known as Lady Pitchiner, she had a daughter and a loving husband once upon a time. Her hair was dark brown along with her eyes as she looked around the house with worry.
"Emily!" The mom shouted.
"Hmm, what is it? Where's dad?" Emily asked her mom.
Emily Jane Pitchiner had long black hair and brown eyes. She was just a kid and so young from the dangerous world, with her brown shirt and dark brown pants she seemed so innocent especially when she was waking up.
"No time to explain my dear child...you have a great destiny ahead of you. Promise to do me proud." The mother said to her daughter.
Emily looked confused. "What do you mean?" She asked her mother.
"Promise me!" The mother shouted at her daughter as tears slipped down her cheeks.
Emily frowned. "I promise." She said.
The mother hugged her daughter before she nodded and said, "Listen to me. Whatever you do, do not look back okay. Keep running don't come back for me or..." She trailed off and closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she added. "Or your father." She told her.
"But why?" Emily asked.
"There's no time to explain now follow me, you must find the light of the moon only its rays can help you now." She told her.
As the world grew darker. The mother had to stay behind and fight the darkness Kozmotis Pitchiner would have done, so she fought and distracted the darkness, as her daughter ran away, further from the chaos and destruction…and her own parents.
By the time she was far away, she breathed slowly and that was when she dared to look back. Tears slipped by her cheeks but she wiped them away with her sleeve.
"Come with me." A male voice that she heard in her head said.
Emily turned around to see a boy around fourteen and seemed to be almost as if he was glowing and could over throw any darkness. He had white hair and the pale green eyes. He seemed to be only wearing armor.
"Was that you?" Emily asked the boy.
The boy nodded and held out his hand for Emily to take.
"Who are you?" Emily asked before she took his hand.
The boy smiled and said without opening his mouth.
"Nightlight, Guider of the Moon." He told her.
They finally grabbed hands and they dissipated in a bright light.
In this world, there was no nature. There were no natural disasters known as blizzards and snow. There were no rains but meanwhile the earth was always a fresh green.
In addition, Emily Jane became Mother Nature. When she became older, she became the first human being ever to meet, The Man in the Moon in person.
Mother Nature, formally known as Emily Jane Pitchiner was a tall-cloaked woman and she acted with wisdom beyond her age. She was beautiful to anyone who saw her and her black hair, if possible became even longer. Her clothing almost seemed to be made out of clouds as her brown eyes no longer innocent stared over the whole world.
"What do you want me to do?" She asked him.
"Help this world." He told her.
Emily only agreed to become Mother Nature however, as long as she didn't get in the way with her turned father and the guardians. She could not stand to face the man who resembled so much of the person she loved after The Man in the Moon explained everything.
The Man in the Moon was known to the world as just what he was, a bright orb moon in the sky, but he was more than just that. He was actually a real person named Tsar Lunar XII or even known as Manny or MIM by most. He was the oldest Guardian and had the most wisdom any one could wish to have. He swore to protect the children of the earth from the nightmares.
Being the last Lunar of his family, that were killed by the darkness. He kept watch on the moon looking down on the earth. He wore black shoes and golden clothing with a red tie. He seemed to be balled but had one golden strip of hair that curled on the end. His eyes were bright brown and Mother Nature was the witness to declare what he looked like.
However, The Man in the Moon was not satisfied as he longed after his lost General now long gone. Even with the help of Mother Nature giving the land life. The moon tried to help the people and animals with no such luck and this is what became the dark ages.
To help with this, after Nightlight took Mother Nature to Manny, he travelled the world until he found a girl named Katherine at Santoff Claussen with a couple of other children there.
Santoff Claussen was a safe place, since the world was filled with darkness and fear. Ombric brought children to Santoff Claussen so they could be safe from the Fearlings and Darkness. He couldn't save all of the children but he did his best to safe the most he could, and Katherine was one of those girls being the oldest one there.
Katherine was a sweet girl with auburn hair and grey eyes and she seemed to always wear a snow coat for the cold outside. The only father she had was her adopted father Ombric , and her best friend soon became Nightlight; and it all started when he first met her.
On her desk was paper and papers of writings and stories. Manny decided that it would be a great idea to create stories to help the people feel like there is something out there in life, and Katherine agreed to become the storyteller and Nightlight from then on decided to defend her.
It was dark after some time. People started to become afraid of everything. People were in hunger and desperate. Wars broke out and sadness went through the land but in a galaxy far away, a star broke into a million tiny pieces and landed on this world.
The Man in the Moon feeling saddened by the broken star gave life to the long lost star, the forth immortal was born, and what is now known today, as the second oldest Guardian since he could never be older as Manny of course.
In the world there were four immortals, he created, gave power and wisdom to Ombric, Nightlight, Mother Nature and now the Sandman. Other then, The Man in the Moon himself and the darkness, that was a completely different story including Pitch Black.
His friends called the Sandman as Sandy but he was also known as Sanderson Mansnoozie. There was golden sand wrapped all around him and his brown eyes stared at Manny as he explained things. His face and hands had an almost golden skin tone and his golden hair stood up in every direction. Golden sand images floated on top of his head deciding to stay silent for the world.
He told Sandman about this world, how lonely it was, and how kids and adults would be in pain each night. The Sandman agreed to help The Man in the Moon for he had a dept to pay for saving his life. Therefore, the long lost wishing star helped the people of this world and tried to make people sleep peacefully.
Dreams
Right at that moment the darkness knew something was wrong.
However, the darkness wouldn't give up that easily and the darkness fought the dreams with nightmares.
After all, what is there a balance for, without the others?
That was when Pitch truly gained his title of King of Nightmares...
Manny knowing it wasn't enough called forth Nicholas St. North, a bandit thief that once led a gang of thieves, to help them. The only reason he no longer led the gang is because, some of them betrayed him while the others who stayed loyal died trying to protect him.
North was young and skilled; he had brown hair and blue eyes. He wore blue fabric around him and black boots. He also had a big long red jacket and wore a big black hat on his head. With his twin, swords on hand it seemed no one could stop him from his goals.
In return, Manny promised that he wouldn't have to steal anymore and he could instead bring the very thing to children that he wished as a child.
Wonder.
Not only that but his comrades that have fallen behind him, and passed away, will live on in the elves.
So Nicholas became North, but more known to the world as Santa Clause. He brought toys and Wonder to the world, to children everywhere.
North instead of having brown hair had a white beard. His black hat still worn on him when he was younger. He wore a red shirt, blue pants and a red jacket with brown fluffy fur at the ends. His arms were covered in tattoos in "Naughty" and "Nice." His blue eyes shined with Wonder as he thought up new ideas for the children of the world.
Ombric Shalazar, founder of Santoff Claussen and a powerful wizard and mentor to two people, one of them was his adopted daughter Katherine and soon North. He was caring to those who met him. He has a long white beard, white brushy eyebrows and wore a long robe and hat. In his hand, he had a staff.
He also knew tons of potions and he decided to become North's Mentor, and helped North to become who he is now, when Ombric thought he was ready...
North brought wonder to the air, took charge over Santoff Claussen, North and Sandy worked as a team, and Ombric returned to his studies in the Atlantis, but it was not enough, and the darkness of Nightmares fought against dreams and Wonder with its very force.
Manny saw how they were working together and got an idea that would banish the nightmares once and for all.
At first it was two but it became three soon enough. He found a little girl that was a part of the Punjam Hy Loo.
Toothiana known to Tooth by most was a little girl with her light brown hair and light brown eyes. She wore colorful fabric everywhere and was often barefoot as she ran though human towns. She was normal and a mortal girl and she often laughed with the other kids in the village.
He looked everywhere for a third possible member to help against the evil and when he saw her. He knew she was the one.
She wanted a chance to help her kingdom against the darkness and when Manny told her, she could have this chance. She took it even if the consensuses after we're if she took this chance she could never return to the way she was. She could no longer be with her family in Punjam Hy Loo of the Sisters of Flight but instead the Tooth fairy.
She changed to a humming bird fairy when she lost her last tooth and she changed and stopped growing older.
Toothiana was not a human girl anymore. She wore brilliantly green, yellow and blue feathers all over her but her hands and part of her face. Those were the only thing that stayed human like. She had a big golden feather on her head and she had gold feathers for earrings. Her eyes changed to a violet purple, pink. Her new wings flapped so fast like a humming bird did, that all you could see were flashes of different colors. She also looked to be wearing golden bracelets and anklets around her wrists and ankles, and with a bright light, many versions of her spread across the globe to collect the very thing Manny wanted her to bring to the world.
Memories
Therefore, she did, replacing teeth with coins as she collected the teeth. When Sandy and North asked her to join them, she did without a second thought and it worked but not everything was almost at peace. She was hurt badly. People feared her, and her parents were killed, because they tried to save her out of the people's fear of her, but even so, she kept going and continued to give memories to everyone.
The darkness however wouldn't give in though…
The darkness and Pitch knew they needed to regain their strength against the trio, which Manny chose, and disappeared too far away lands, to collect more fear from other worlds. One of those worlds was the Pooka, but the darkness did much more than just fear.
They were murders and killed all of the Pooka's without them knowing what hit them or so the darkness thought because one Pooka remained standing.
Manny had got the distress signal from the Pooka Planet but he was too late and he mourned just as much as the last Pooka. He knew what it felt like to be the last of his kind. Manny was the last Lunar alive after all and when his family planet died. He swore it would not happen to others so when he saw the defeat of the Pooka Land, he knew he failed.
He failed them.
He told the Pooka, which was, named E Aster Bunnymund, that he could avenge his people. If he became the Easter Bunny and helped, protect Earth.
Bunnymund, the last survival of the Pookas was taller than an average rabbit. His long ears stayed high and alert since the day that his people have been taken. His bluish and white fur ruffled in the breeze while he held the boomerangs his father had given him when he was a young Pooka.
He wore brown strappings around his feet and his holster was wrapped, around his shoulder. While his green eyes shown pain from that simple day, where his family disappeared and that look in his eyes will never leave to the day he died, so he helped…
He helped the world that fought the same darkness the Pooka's did, and Bunnymund swore right then to protect the inhabitants of earth with one thing only.
Hope
When Bunnymund got to earth. He met the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause and the Sandman. The Pooka however was more of a solo fighter and it took more effort than most, for him to join them. Eventually though, they became the best of friends.
The darkness out raged that they didn't kill all the Pooka's. They brought more darkness to the world of Earth but it wasn't enough and Pitch Black was defeated, but how did that happen?
The world turned to normal, but it still wasn't the Golden Ages. The people who lived through the Dark Ages…could no longer return to their happy days and so the people became cautious.
The moon then asked Katherine to do him a huge favor, he asked Katherine to help the Guardians with Nightlight, by telling stories about North, Bunnymund, Toothiana and Sandy to the children of Earth, to keep belief in the world.
The war was deadly and the Guardians fought with their last breath, clang after clang, Katherine read stories all over the world about the Guardians, Nightlight helped the moon with the belief of the stories, and Mother Nature created life, until the world came what it is today and with that, the darkness was defeated.
Manny then gave them the promotion to become Guardians…
Nicholas St. North became the Guardian of Wonder.
Sanderson Mansnoozie became the Guardian of Dreams.
Toothiana, became the Guardian of Memories.
And…
E. Aster Bunnymund, became the Guardian of Hope.
However, that was not the whole story.
What about Our World?
Well, years before the movie Rise of the Guardians came out were four average characters.
Noel Clause, Companion of Wonder.
Diana Dreams, Companion of Dreams.
Jay Moments, Companion of Memories.
And…
Riana Springs, Companion of Hope.
Their story however is just a little bit different.
They were created to become the Companions of the Guardians. Their very own Protector; to strengthen the centers of the Guardians.
They were transported to a different world. The world the Guardians resided in, but they were just four normal beings once upon a time in our world.
Diana Gold, Noel Lights, Jason Shunkan and Riana Underlands.
Diana Gold had golden hair and brown eyes, she was small for her age of twenty and everyone adored and loved her. She usually wore golden or yellow shirts, declaring it was her favorite color, and a necklace that read "Dreams" on her locket that she wore around her neck. Her best friends were Noel, Jason and Riana.
Noel was an older girl by twenty-nine and she had brown hair down to her mid back. She wore red things all the time with a red shirt and blue jeans with her black shoes. Her eyes were brown and she is often seen making things in her room, much to Riana's annoyance. Her and Riana were friendly rivals and they often fought of which hobby was better. Building or Painting. However that was nothing compared to their rival Secra Soren.
Twenty-five, Jason Shunkan was the only male in the group and most females were jealous that Noel, Diana and Riana hanged out with him much to his annoyance because he did not love any of his friends. He didn't have any male friends at school because of the rumor of being a "Ladies Man" and that he may secretly be a girl. Jason didn't let it get to him though however and usually kept Noel and Riana in check during their arguments. He wore a blue shirt and a white sweater with light brown leggings. His hair was short and brown and his eyes would often change color in the light, mostly they just stayed green.
Finally, Riana Underlands. Riana was the youngest out of the group and often wore things that seemed springy even in the middle of winter. She usually always wore her pink sweater. She hated the cold but loved the colors of winter. She hated Secra the very most and her friends would often try to make sure she wouldn't lash out at her. She was not afraid to show her opinion but she was afraid of losing people. She loved to paint with a passion and often had fights with Noel about building. Other students in her class would go to her for painting lessons. She would worry about her friends constantly, and even though she was the youngest, she would defend her friends, especially Jason who was bullied on.
Nevertheless, these four individuals swore to protect the Guardians with their life, and when North, Tooth, Sandy and Bunny were fighting the darkness, they fought alongside them. Fighting and helping the center's the Guardians wanted to protect. They never made it in the storybooks but they were there right alongside them.
Manny knew they had great hearts, and knew they would protect their Guardian to the very end. He gave them the power to, better help, their Guardian and they never once abused them. He made them the Companions.
They were, known soon as…
Diana Dreams, Noel Clause, Jay Moments, and Riana Springs.
Diana Dreams became the lover of Sandy and her golden hair glowed everywhere. She often had golden whips in her hands and could control the very sand Sandy controls. She still wore her necklace of "Dreams" on her locket and became the translator for the Sandman. She wore a yellow shirt, glittering golden sand jacket, skinny jeans and white running shoes and her eyes were no longer brown but the richest of Golden... Soon she had a daughter named "Tina Coin."
Noel Clause was the only Companion, children around the world knew as Ms. Clause. She married North a few years later after being stuck on the Guardians world. Her eyes were blue and her hair more of a pale brown. She wore a red jacket and a blue shirt underneath with blue jeans and black shoes. She still had the wonder of making things as much as Riana for painting. They still fought like siblings continuously though. She also learned from North how to battle with a weapon such as a sword.
Jason became Jay Moments and finally to his friend's amusement he said he liked a girl. He loved Tooth and became almost as obsessive over teeth as she was. His eyes stayed the same and changed color. Much to what his name suggests. He had blue feathers all over him as well as light blue wings however if he wanted to, he could change back into a human form and back into a Blue jay. He could even become small like any other bird if he wanted too, and he helped bring memories to the world with Tooth.
Then there was Riana Springs stuck at the age of nineteen, she had long dark brown hair, brown and white long ears and a small bunny tail. Her eyes were green and she was pale skinned. She was barefoot and now had a holster around her shoulders where her boomerangs were placed. During her time in the Guardians world, she learned how to use boomerangs from her teacher Bunnymund. She wore an egg shaped necklace given to her by Bunny and she wore a purple shirt with blue shorts.
She also wore a pink sweater that was usually unzipped on her or wrapped around her waist. She often followed Bunnymund around and helped him with his Easter Runs, giving him company when he was often alone. Out of all the Guardians and Companions, she was the only one allowed to call Bunny by his former name of Aster. Soon she started realizing she was having a crush on him and her friends would often try to get them together or tease her. She still kept up her painting contest with Noel as well…but she always still worried about the danger out in the world, more so then her friends.
And, they were the ones who fought to the very end.
The darkness sensing the upper hands of hands became furious and they found our world, The Companions world. The darkness was weak and already losing. They did not have the power anymore to destroy the Companions or our world but they could still choose another person to help the darkness.
They found Secra Soren. She was a lost teenage girl with little to no hope.
Secra Soren had light brown hair and blue eyes. She felt alone and unloved from the world. When no one was looking, her barriers would go down and she would cry herself to sleep, but to those who do see her, they see her as a nuisance. Especially, Riana Underlands and her gang. She was cold, bitter and did not know the definition of "Love" because no one ever loved her, so she bullied others because no one wanted to understand her, or become her friend, and her eyes would glare at anyone who looked her way. She wore a red sweater and grey leggings with black shoes and often acted as the most popular student in school and most people feared her as well.
Her father abused her and her mother abandoned her when she was six, because her parents argued all the time. Her father would blame her for looking just like her mother and she would wail and cry on top of her roof at six years old, crying for her mommy.
Unfortunately, her mommy never came and she became cold. Never once did the people give thought about why she became that way, or if she was misunderstood. Their answer was always…
"She is a bully, she doesn't care about anyone. She is dangerous. Stay away from her." Voices would cry out.
But, there is always a reason why the good became evil and if there was a heart for her.
Evil may just become good.
However, she had no one because no one trusted her. No one knew the whole story.
The darkness came to her soon enough and whispered into her ears.
"We are Family."
"We can help you get your revenge on those who never cared for you."
"If you just take the offer and join Pitch Black."
"Pitch Black?" Secra asked with interest.
"King of Fear, everyone needs Fear you see, but the world we come from is trying to chase the fear away. They don't want us. Just like how no one wants you. We understand, and if you help Pitch Black and the fear, we will be forever in your dept."
"They don't want you?" Secra asked.
"Yes, Fear is needed in everyday life as you know. We help kids to Fear danger, like not go across a road when a car is coming. We help the people Fear so they become in line, but they do not like Fear and instead they want to live in happiness all the time; living in an unrealistic world. Will you help us?"
Therefore, Secra took the chance, and agreed without looking back.
Secra Soren, the girl that everyone hates, but also the lost girl of our world became...
Secra Black.
Secra Black, now had the blackest hair of midnight, and very pale skin, paler then Jack Frost making her look dead. She wore a sweater that was black with red on the edges and black leggings. She was also barefoot but it didn't matter to her. The cold was not an issue anymore. Her red eyes lit up in betrayal and revenge. If anyone would have gotten to know her before she became Secra Black, she would have been saved from this fate, but Secra was no longer a broken girl anymore.
She was not a Companion but she was the Partner of Fear.
Soon after, her and Pitch brought fear to the Guardians world.
Meanwhile, as Katherine continued to tell stories around the globe, about the Guardians, Nightlight continued to defend her with his own immortal life, but during this, they fell in love and decided whatever happened, they were going together.
When the battle started, Nightlight and the Storyteller fought against the darkness...
And as the Guardians fought Pitch.
The Companions fought Secra.
But not without a cost. A cost that made Bunny mourn, with more pain and loss, when he thought he was going to be on his own again, and the Sandman's wide eye horror that no one could forget, was on his face.
Riana Springs and Diana Dreams gone just like the sand Sandy makes and the life Bunny brings from the world, killed in that instant.
The war stopped in that second, and just when they thought the darkness was going to collapse on them.
A bright light came from Diana Dream's body and in her place was a teenage girl.
The Sandman's own daughter.
Yes, the Companions loved their Guardians very much, even if the war was going on. Diana became pregnant and when Sandy thought, he lost his love and his newborn child. He thought he lost all.
Manny could not bring Riana or Diana back but he was able to bring life back in the child. However, the baby was not like a 1-year-old child. The child was 14 years old.
How that was possible?
Manny knew he had no choice. He needed the daughter of Dreams to help the Sandman since Diana Dreams could no longer, and he could not do anything about the Easter Bunny's love, so he made Sandman's daughter the age to help, and he whispered to the child on his place, on the moon.
"You are Tina Coin. Daughter of Dreams. You must help your father young child, in order for a new beginning."
Therefore, Tina Coin did. She stood up where her mother disappeared from, and stepped in front of her father, Nightlight, Katherine, and the rest of the Guardians and Companions.
Tina Coin, the daughter of Sandman and Diana, stood up and breathed air in for the first time. Her pale skin tone lit up under the moonlight. Her lips were pink, her nails were golden and she wore a golden dress with moccasins on her feet. Her eyes snapped open and revealed golden eyes like her mother that Sandy loved. She outstretched her hand and golden sand lit the darkness.
Tina's legacy just began at that moment, and when the battle ended. Sandy promised to care for her. He heard the same words Manny told her and from that moment on, Tina Coin continued Diana Dreams journey. She became Tina Coin, Companion of Dreams and Daughter of Diana Dreams, and Sanderson Mansnoozie.
After that, Nightlight decided to become human for Katherine. He left being immortal, and became mortal to be with her because he loved her. Katherine refused the offer to become immortal, and so they lived the rest of their mortal lives safe and happy and a few years later, they married off and later, passed away.
This lead to heartbreak to everyone who knew the couple, especially North, because he had grown fond of Katherine. However, they knew the two were happy with their life given.
However, as years passed... There was still no Companion of Hope and Bunny began his journey alone again, without anyone in the warren with him but the eggs.
The only action that he had during that time period was Easter of 68, the one Jack Frost, accidentally created a blizzard.
The Jack Frost that was seen in the blizzard wore a brown cape, and brown pants with brown wrappings near his feet. He wore a white shirt and a brown type of vest underneath it. Everything was frosted over, including his staff. He had blue eyes and white hair. However, he looked different as the years passed.
Jack during the time was only around for three hundred years. So therefore, he wasn't in the first battle with Pitch Black. He was, formerly known as Jackson Overland. The brother of his sister and the brown haired, brown-eyed brother with his brown pants and brownish cape, saving her with his trusty staff, and fell into the depths of the lake himself.
Jack Frost was now a white haired boy with the bluest eyes anyone could see for miles, and if you looked close enough, you would see a snowflake pattern in them. Still wearing his brown pants from that day and the same staff, he used to save his sister.
The only difference though, was that everything was lightly frosted over, and his skin tone was no longer human warm flesh but instead pale and he wore a blue sweater and was still barefoot.
It was no wonder he became the Guardian of Fun. He helped the children, his first believer and the Guardians, and that proved every right that he was a Guardian.
When Pitch Black did come back however, the Companions were not present during the epic battle against Pitch and the new Guardian. They knew their Guardians would do just fine without them as they continued to search the world as normal living humans in the Guardians world. Protecting the humans that way, while the Guardians protected the children immortally.
This was not to say the Companions were no longer immortal or powerless now, but their powers and immortally were just hidden, as the Guardians fought Pitch with Jack. They also continued their search for not just helping the kids of the world, but as well as searching for a possible Companion member of the long lost Hope, and the new Fun.
No one knew what happened to Secra though during this time as she seemed to just have disappeared and Pitch didn't even mention her once, during the Guardians battle with Jack and him.
When the battle was over, the Companions met the very Jack Frost at North's Workshop. That was when they received the prophecy.
"Snow and the Wolf is coming, darkness is coming again, more deadly than the last. Companions need to be reunited as one, and Hope and Fun must find the other before it's too late for either sides." The words whispered in the wind.
The three Companions and the four original Guardian's eyes widened at this news, while Jack just became more confused.
They explained the best they could to him, but rest assured….
There might be new Companions coming soon, after all this time of searching. Even if Bunnymund refused to believe that nonsense and Jack continues to say that he is fine on his own...
Something is coming that is going to affect two worlds, and one of those worlds is ours.

Well that's done! Yay! I am going to take a huge break as I just finished this chapter and the upcoming chapter, chapter 9 Kidnapped. Don't worry you will get too see what is happening to Tala soon enough! This chapter is just a little flashback to lead up to this point in the story.
However, when this story is completed. I could if you want, create the prequel of "The Land of No Return" and make the whole story of what happened; then just a small flashback in one chapter. You decide! "Might do it, anyway, though." 'Shrugs' However, there will be more detailed flashbacks whenever the Guardians or Companions think about the past in this 'time period' in this current story, I am making with my friends.
This is just the whole story of the History of Companions summoned up in one chapter.
I hope this explains what happened with the best of my quality! I did my best without reading the books. Therefore, I hope its good enough to pass as the past, of how the Guardians became well Guardians.
There is no deleted scene. That is nice. Nothing is taken out, in this chapter and if you see an error don't be afraid to let us know!
Well that is it for now! See you next time.
