Chapter 11: Narain and Casey's Homes, Threatened

Back at the pole, the Guardians mourned the loss of their friend. Windsong looked as Tooth put a candle on Sandy's picture on the floor. The Guardians, Windsong and Narain stood together, their expressions sad. Jack had disappeared to some other part of North's workshop almost as soon as they had returned and Casey wasn't sure what to do.

Windsong had actually disappeared not long after Sandy had been… Well, Casey didn't want to think about what had happened to the Guardian of Dreams. When Windsong had finally returned, Casey had hugged her as tight as possible. Casey knew that Windsong had special feelings for Sandy and losing him was possibly harder on her then it had been on the rest of them.

After the mourning, Windsong and Casey walked to where Jack had disappeared to, where they found North trying to comfort the winter spirit. A frosted picture of Sandy was on the window, no doubt caused by Jack.

"Are you alright?" North asked.

"Yeah," Jack answered, then clenched his fists. "I just wish I could've done something."

"Done something?" North repeated. "Jack, you and Casey stood up to Pitch. You saved us."

"But Sandy-"

"Would be proud of what you did."

Jack still didn't look convinced. He pulled his hood more over his head. He looked over at Windsong. "You okay?"

Windsong nodded and flew over to Jack. "You don't have to carry this on your own."

Jack didn't reply. Windsong looked over at Casey and gestured for her to come help. Instead of calmly walking over to Jack, she flew forward as fast as possible and threw her arms around him, hugging him as tight as she could. Thankfully, that seemed to brighten Jack's spirits just a bit. He stood up, pushing his hood off his head. North spoke again.

"I don't know who you and Casey were in your past lives, but in this life, you are Guardians." he said.

"How can we know who we are," Casey asked. "Until we find out who we were?"

"You will." Narain said as she walked into the room. "Trust me." Jack and Casey smiled.

As Jack, Casey, Narain and Windsong walked out of the room, Casey suddenly felt dizzy. She put her free hand to her forehead as the wave of dizziness washed over her. Jack turned just in time to catch Casey when she pitched forward. He put a hand to her forehead and pulled it back quickly. "She's burning up!" He exclaimed. He put his hand back on Casey's forehead and Casey leaned into the touch. "This has never happened."

"We should go check her pond." Narain said. "She's connected to her pond like I am to my forest. Maybe something happened."

North walked up along with Bunnymund. "We should go see." North said. "Jack, you and Windsong stay here and keep an eye on Casey." Jack nodded. "Bunny, you, me, Tooth and Narain will go to Casey's pond to see what is wrong." Jack and Windsong took Casey to the room she was staying in and laid her down.

Meanwhile, North, Tooth, Bunnymund and Narain got to North's sleigh and soon arrived at the forest where both Narain and Casey resided. They were absolutely shocked when they laid their eyes on Casey's pond. There was not a single clear spot in it. The whole pond was completely polluted.

"This has to be why Casey is so sick." Tooth said. "This is-" She stopped when she saw Narain wasn't looking at Casey's pond anymore. Instead, the forest spirit was turned, looking at her forest which, Tooth was shocked to see, was completely cut down. Not a single tree had survived whatever onslaught had occurred. Every tree had been either cut or burned, some of the stumps still smoldering.

Narain bent down next to a stump and her hand caressed it gently. "Humans did this." Tears came to her eyes. "I can't fix it!" Suddenly, Narain bent forward in pain.

"Narain!" Bunnymund exclaimed and rushed to her side as she collapsed. Suddenly, Narain began fading, much like tree leaves when they fall. Bunnymund got an extremely serious look on his face. "She's dying. We have to do something."

"Is there anything we can do?" Tooth asked.

Bunnymund thought a moment, then a smile broke out on his face. "I have an idea." He tapped the ground with his foot and jumped into the hole, followed by the other two Guardians. When they had arrived, Bunnymund laid Narain beneath the roots of the large tree in the Warren. Immediately, a change was seen and Narain began to heal. Within several minutes, Narain was completely recovered. She slowly sat up and looked at Bunnymund. She smiled.

"Thank you." She said. "Now let's help Casey." They went back to Casey's pond and Narain pushed some of the pollution from Casey's pond leaving part of it clean. "She won't be completely recovered, but she'll have some strength back, enough to fight Pitch at least."

"We must be getting back." North said. And, with another tap of Bunnymund's foot, they arrived back at North's. Narain immediately ran to Casey's room where she found the water spirit sitting up in bed, leaning against Jack's chest as Windsong stood beside them. When she saw Narain, she smiled.

"I'm sure you had something to do with this?" she said.

Narain smiled. "Like I was going to let anything hurt either of us." She got a serious look on her face. "I'm sure Pitch is the reason our homes are gone."

"Gone?" Jack asked.

"My forest has been completely destroyed and Casey's pond is polluted." Narain explained. "Possibly beyond even Casey's skill to purify."

"That is bad." Casey muttered. Then she clenched her fists. "First, Pitch kills Sandy, now he's left you and me without homes. He is going to pay."

Jack squeezed Casey's arm. Windsong nodded. "Agreed." She said.

"Then let's take him down." Bunnymund said.

"Once and for all." North said.
