Previously, in the Guardians' Guardian

You curl into a shuddering ball, starting to weep and keen softly. Mim... Please... Oh Mim, help me... Help me escape from these horrible horrible feelings...

No sooner had you thought this that you felt a pair of arms pull you into a warm, tight embrace. Large hands stroked your hair as you wept into the white-clad shoulder, your bodies rocking slowly back and forth. Mim whispers comfort into your ear, easing you into a deep, painful, dreamless sleep.

~~Part 11~~

It was Bunny's rotation for the week, and you were watching him paint his eggs. Ever since that incedent one year ago, you generally avoided the main areas of the Warren; sticking to keeping a silent vigil from the small copses of trees lining the outer edges. Like hell I'm reliving that horror show. But, Bunny seems lonely today, so you kicked your own forthcomings in the ass for now and went over.And who says I'm not a team player~. He looks up as your deer shaped shadow encompasses him, grins, and motions you closer - patting the grass beside him. You lay down next to him, your head in his lap. The two of you had become quite comfortable around one another the past two years, and this had actually become a normal thing in your down time.

"Ya' know wha' I jus' realized Sheila?" Bunny asked, "I 'aven't go' a real name for ya'." He rubbed his chin, smearing a little bit of paint from his brush on his nose. "I mean, 'Sheila' works a'ight, bu' it's not special enough fo' a friend like you."

You lift your head slightly, pinning him with a gentle gaze. D'aaawwww, I'm special~. I was wondering when this guy was gonna get to the nickname part of this relationship. North had recently named you 'Malinki Iskra', ('Little One' in Russian) and Tooth named you 'Butterfly Friend'; she was too distracted by just about everything to really remember.

" 'ow 'bout-" Bunny was cut off by a titter from the direction of the stream. Looking over, you spot the Boy Stealing Skank #1, otherwise known as the water nymph from that fatal party two years ago.Dafuck is she doing here?! She takes away my BunBun and I will seriously high-five her. In the face. With a fucking STEEL CHAIR.

"Call her 'Virginia Dare'" she said, "it's an old story, of a beautiful you maiden turned into a rare white doe by a jealous suitor. And to the native people who lived in that land, a white doe was revered about all else."

To your horror, Bunny nodded in approval. No! Bunny! Don't give in to her honeycoated lies! Sure, it sounded cool, but nothig from this bitch is ever acceptable. NOTHING. You got up and bounded away to your grotto, away from Bunny and She Who Will Not Be Named, pacing in irritation.

Suddenly, you felt a pang of sheer terror like you had never felt before. Startled, you trace the fear through the webs of soul-pieces, tracing it back to Tooth's feather. TOOTH! You could hear Bunny's loud thumping foot falls approaching steadily towards the grotto, but before he could enter you focused all of your energy on Tooth at her Palace. You felt your skin prickle, a slight pressure and- whoosh.

~~Le Tooth Palace~~

You arrive in a split second, the air making silent currents as it parts to make way for you. Before Tooth notices a random white doe sitting high above ground level in her Palace, you transform to your proper butterfly shape, thankful of her emotional, erratic behavior. SHIT! That was kinda stupid, (f/n)! Pulling a scatter-brained Toothiana-type stunt like that! You fly over to Tooth. She spots you and you notice tears streaming down her face as she clutches something close to her chest. You jet towards her, taking stock of any damage to her or danger in the area. Finding none, you circle her head, trying to sort out the source of the hysterics.

"We had a fairy collision!" she sobs at you. Holding her cupped hands out, she shows you a tooth, "Th-thankfully it d-didn't chip b-but… i-if it had broken-" she breaks off, whimpering, and hands the tooth off to another fairy. You sense a concerned vibe coming from Bunny, but decide to ignore it. Let him worry! He should feel like shit for listening to HER! You fly around Tooth and land on her nose, flapping your wings slowly - as to just show her the patterns on your wings like a hypnotist. She slowly calms down, Thank JEGUS! and removes you from her nose.

"Thank you my butterfly friend. Would you like some sugar water?" Tooth flew over to her small lake, selecting a honey-coated flower petal to dip into the water, so you could sip off the droplets of water. "there you go!" she said, happy again. Wooow, my life would be soooooo much easier if I was that mercurial. "Well I have to be off with my fairies! You be safe, butterfly friend!"

You stayed and sipped the dew drops off the petal, relaxing in the soft sunlight streaming down. Soon, however, you noticed the comcerned feeling from Bunny had grown to anxiety, and anxiety had manifested into down-right worry. Finally, being the good little friend you are, you go back to the Warren to see what all the fuss is about.

You stand in your grotto in the Warren, but you can't sense Bunny anywhere. Fuck. I should definitely be able to feel him if he's in the vicinity! You trot quickly to where he always sits, finding smashed eggs everywhere. You start to panic. No! Nononononononononononono! This shit is NOT. HAPPENING. NOT. NOW. You can't find Bunny anywhere and you turn frantic, until you find his Boomerang lying on the ground. You look closer at the ground and see odd, black sand everywhere. Littered among the patches of sand and grass are broken bodies, skeletal corpses of ruptured and decayed gritty flesh. You panic, never having seen such beings before. Knowing that you MUST alert the Guardians, and hating yourself for being in this situation, you contemplate going back to Tooth... This idea is quickly disbanded. She'd be too spazzy and freak out without getting down to business. Seeing no other option, you switch to your fox form, grabbing the boomerang in your teeth and automatically teleporting to North.

~~Le North Pole Workshop Skip~~

North stood in the Globe Room, laughing with his (what you guessed were) Yetis. The small elves were causing mischief, making a ginormous mess that North seems to miraculously ignore. No wonder they call him St. Nick, he's always just too damn happy about something! His big, shining eyes land on you and a wide, white smile splits his face.

"Malinki Iskra (Little One)! You are back, yes?" he laughs heartily and offers you a cookie. You dismiss it with a shake of your small head. Forget the confectionary delicacies! We have a situation here! All hands on deck, call in the troops, batten down the hatches, put on your big boy undies! WE HAVE TO HELP BUNBUN! The smile is whiped from his face when you drop the dust-covered boomerang at his feet. "What is this? Bunny's Boomerang? Why would you.." his eyes grow wide with understanding as he spots the sand. "PHIL! Prepare sled. I am going to Warren!"
