LAST CHAPTER: WISE SPEECH
"Jack...are you alright?" Tooth asked as Jack gained consciousness of his surroundings. Baby tooth was flying in circles around Jack's head, worringly to know if her friend was fine.
"yeah well..." he glanced at Sandy "fine" he finished as both, Sandy and Tooth smiled weakly.
"so?" Bunny's voice came "how was it? The dark age?" Bunny asked as Jack turned to him
"terrible!" said Jack, getting up heading towards the dream-maker "can i talk to you North?" Jack asked as North nodded, leaving with Jack as Tooth got back to work while the others waited
"why didn't Sandy said anything about Pitch?! I mean...the way he fought him before...so fiercely...it seemed like they never were friends" Jack tried to explain as North gave him a pat on his shoulder
"you see..." North began "Sandy's the oldest among us and was the one that suffered the most in those years..." North began as Jack interrupted
"yeah, i understand but-" Jack couldn't finish
"no Jack! You don't understand...being invisible or non-belived in is a thing" he walked slowly followed by Jack "but watching your own kind being wiped out from one of your past friends is another..." North finished
"i never thought Pitch was so...old" Jack finished with a smile, also returned from North
"right-oh how was i when i was younger?" North said lowly, his voice barely a whisper
"i did not see much of you...i only saw the moment you gave that punch to Pitch and made him fly-" Jack was cut off
"oh yes i remember that!" North exlaimed, memories coming back
"you held an hell of a punch!" Jack said as North half-bowed and snickered "why thank you" the other replied.
-BACK AT THE NORTH POLE-
"hey Sandy..." Jack began as the mentioned turned to him "do you think that Pitch remembers his old self?" Jack asked, almost afraid of hurting Sandy, asking so...
Sandy shook his head in a silent "no" and a black heart appeared on his head...with a glimpse of light at the center of it
"you say he does have something inside of him?" Jack asked as Sandy nodded, looking at the younger guardian
"why did this have to happen to him?" Jack asked as Sandy spoke with images
(world needs both, darkness and light but, if you cage the darkness in attempt of making it disappear, for hundreds of years...someday when it will gain its freedom, someone's going to pay for that...and that someone was Pitch...the man in the moon did a huge mistake cageing all fearlings in that prinson...) this was the silent speech of a wise man as Sandy, who had been through both, a world of lone light and a world of complete darkness...and he learned that on his skin.
"so you think the Mim is a bad guy?" Jack asked, confusion evident on his face as Sandy smiled
"i said the lunanoff family made a mistake" Sandy explained through images
"even if the fearlings were mad...i don't understand why?!" Jack sat down, tears getting through his features "why it had to be him!? He was brave, loyal, hard-working and had a daughter! So, WHY!" he almost screamed, anger rising at the thought as Sandy floated next to him, caressing his cheek, trying to calm him down...
that was exatly my reaction...

Somewhere far away, under a broken bed in a realm of darkness, a black-shadowy figure laid...sat down, wondering...
He closed the gold medal with his daughter's image, rising his stare
he smiled
"sometimes...i wonder that too Frost" Pitch said lowly to him...
"i fear the golden age...it's a strange thing to say being a star
but it is the truth
because when light is brighter, shadows are darker
in a dark place
there are many fearlings with low strenght
but in this place
there is a fearling, who is the king of nightmares"
