Hey y'all. I know its been awhile but I had just been busy with some confusion about myself. Recently something that I had always thought about came into light and I'm not sure how to handle it because I have always denied certain aspect about it but now I'm not so sure and I dont have anyone I can talk to about it. But I will try to update soon. On with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything in relation to Disney's Atlantis or DreamWorks Rise of The Guardians. I only own my own characters and plot.

A soft white-blue glow lit the glittering gray rocks, beautiful patterns could be seen covering the stones as well as providing the room with a soft glow. The chamber was pretty large and appeared to be an ice cave, blue and clear ice filled the room and crawled over the walls and floors. Should anyone enter the ice chamber they would require a thick jacket that would keep them warm but sitting in the middle of the room on a flat rock, in what appeared to be a meditative state, was a young man appearing to be 18 years old.

The young man was pale as the snow around him and his hair was just as white. His face was androgynous but it was also clear he was male, he had a blue tattoo on his right cheekbone which consisted of two crescent moons with frost designs and a circle on the side. He had a green feather hanging from a small earring in his left ear. He had a blue crystal necklace on his bare chest. The only other jewelry that he had on was a silver cuff with an emerald design on his right bicep. He had another tattoo on his right shoulder that looked like a snowflake with vines flowing down his arm. The only piece of clothing that he had was a brown leather loincloth like pair of pants that landed at the top of his knees, as well as a strip of dark blue fabric that covered his left shoulder and moved across his stomach to his right hip.

His face was serene and his chest rose and fell in a steady rythim. Suddenly he heard a soft rustling and a small weight settle on his shoulder. A soft chirp hit his ears as something nipped at his hair. He chuckled and opened his eyes, revealing bright ice blue eyes, and he turned his head to look a what was on his shoulder. What he saw was what appeared to be a bird that looked somewhat like a hummingbird. The animal was about the size of an eagle, if a bit larger, and they were covered in dark green feathers minus a single gold feather at the crown of their head. The eyes were two different colors, brown and blue, and the beak was elongated like a hummingbird. The bird chirped once more and poked at his skin again, trying to tell him something.

"What is it Baby? Am I running late?" He asked running a slender finger down her back. The bird, Baby, closed their eyes and rubbed their head against the young man's finger before they gave out a soft chirp. Baby jumped off of his shoulder and flew to the chamber's exit giving out another chirp.

"Okay I'm going, Baby. I know how he gets if I'm late." He said with a chuckle before he got up brushing some snow off his pants and following the large bird. The bird lead them out of the cave system, at times stopping to make sure he was following them. Soon though Baby was flying a fast as they could and the young man was running as fast as he could to try and beat Baby.

As they exited the cave system, the young man jumped on top of a fish looking sculpture but once he inserted his necklace into a slot and placed his hand on a panel the sculpture rose and he was flying along side Baby who chipped happily. The young man laughed and made the ship fly faster as they got closer to their home. The young man's name was Jack and he was the King of Atlantis. He is over 8,000 years old and was the head warrior of his land but when his father died, he had to stop scouting and fighting to help bring Atlantis back to its former glory. But he did not have to do this alone.

A few years ago an exploration team discovered the city and though this team lead to his father dying as well as many of their warriors. There was one man among them that did not want fame and riches like the others, this man was the one that saved him and his kingdom. Aster Bunnymund saved his Kingdom and saved him. Once they had stopped Kozmotis Pitchner from taking him, Aster decided to stay behind and be with Jack. They had gotten married and with Aster's help in translating their texts, the Kingdom was now thriving and his people no longer were scavenging for food or just going through the motions of life. They were truly living life.

Their city was no longer filled with ruins and disrepair. It had become a land of actual culture, of life, and of study. As Jack headed to the throne room, he watched as his people finished repairs on some of the surrounding statues. He saw a class being held that was teaching their young children how to read, a privilege that they did not have once, and high above him was the Heart of Atlantis surrounded by the carvings of their past Kings. Jack flew up and looked for the carving of his father, once he saw it he got close enough to lay a hand on it. His father was killed by Kozmotis Pitchner and though he never had the chance to confront him, he was glad that his father's killer was now gone. He hated Kozmotis because he took away his chance to say good-bye to his father. He missed his father, he was afraid that he may not be doing to right thing for his people. He feared that he was not worthy of being King and though Aster told him that he was doing a great job, he didn't believe him. So though he is not confident in himself, he hopes that his father is proud of him and still watching over him. He hopes he lives up to his expectations.

Jack left the carvings and flew toward the throne room where he's sure his husband would be. He landed in front of the doors leading to the throne room and after giving a nod to the warriors that were guarding the door, he entered. As he walked further into the room, he took a moment to appreciate how different it looked now. The old fabrics that once adorned the room were now vibrant and bright and the platform that held the throne was cleared of debris and the pond are now clear and clean, filled with fish and blossoming plants. And standing in the middle of the room facing the throne was a tall muscled man wearing a toga like outfit that was dark green and blue. His skin was tanned and his hair was a mid-length blue-gray. He didn't appear to be wearing any jewelry minus a necklace that was similar to Jack's but he did have more tattoos than Jack did. Both his arms had flowing vines that appeared tribal and had small snowflakes scattered throughout. This design continues down his legs as well as down his back. He was directing some warriors that were lifting the head of a statue out of one of the ponds and to the top of the headless statue behind the throne. Once it was over the statue they lowered the head and using the crystals, were able to keep the head attached and secure.

"Great, perfect. Ya both can go take a break." The man told them giving them a thumbs up.

"Aster! The throne room looks great! And now the old King will never cry again." Jack said as he got closer to pull the man, Aster, into a hug.

"I'm glad ya think so, ya bloody show pony. Where were you? Your late." Aster chasted though he still had a small smile as he pulled the smaller man into his arms.

"I'm sorry, I lost track of time again." He said with a small smile as they pulled apart.

"You were in the Ice Chamber again, weren't ya?" Aster asked leading Jack to sit on one of the benches around the ponds.

"Yes." He said quietly.

"You were mediating." Aster stated holding Jack's hand.

"Yes, I was." Jack whispered stroking patterns onto Aster's hand.

"Jackie, I know that you are still grieving for your father and that you still hold resentment toward Pitch. I know that you think that this mediation is helping you but your beginning to worry me love." Aster told him making eye contact to show Jack how worried he was. Jack had taken to mediating to try and figure out what happened to him when he was under the control of the Heart. Also to see if he remembers what happened to Pitch. But all he had been able to recover was when Pitch took him across the bridge. Yet he had recently become obsessed and would disappear for hours in the Ice chamber meditating. He tried to get Jack to talk to him but has been unsuccessful, hopefully today he could get through to him.

"How am I worrying you Aster? I only meditate for an hour or two, no harm done." Jack replied breaking eye contact.

"Love, its more than an hour or two. Your sometimes gone for hours till either I or Baby go and get you. Sandy sometimes has to dust you with his sand to get you to sleep. Jack, you cant run this Kingdom if your gone half the time. I know you want your memories back but this is unhealthy, talk to Tooth and see if maybe she could help. Just ,please, if you must meditate at least do it for only an hour." Aster told him clasping both of Jack's hands in his.

"I'm sorry Aster. I just cant get over how Pitch took away my chance of saying goodbye to my father and if he hadn't killed him, I wouldn't be the King. I wouldn't be the King that has no idea what they're doing, the King that is sure that he will fail his people. I should have paid attention to what my father had always told me about being King, but I was too busy goofing off and exploring the ruins. I just never thought my father would die." Jack explained feeling the burn of tears in his eyes. Aster's heart cracked at the sight of his love, he knew how insecure Jack was about being King but he didn't think it was this bad.

"Oh love. I know that you miss your dad, I still miss my grandfather. But we cant change the past, just move past it. Your not going to fail love, you helped bring your people together to make this Kingdom thrive. Your people are thriving like they never had before, and that's because of you Jackie." Aster told him.

"No, its because of you Aster. Without your translations, we would be helpless and we would have been dead by now." Jack replied with a small smile.

"Nah mate, they follow your leadership. Without your faith, they would have never listened to me because don't forget I'm an outsider from the surface world. I'm not a true Atlantean." Aster said also smiling.

"Your as much as an Atlantean as me Aster. Never doubt that." He told him placing a kiss to Aster's cheek.

"Thanks Snowflake." Aster said before he drew Jack into a kiss. But before they could kiss more a large bird flew in with a chirp, landing on Aster's shoulder. The couple laughed and separated to give the bird attention.

"Hey there Baby. How ya been?" Aster asked stroking the large bird's feathers. The bird crooned and closed its eyes before it started to claw at Aster's outfit.

"Yeah I know, but only one got it?" Aster said with a roll of his eyes as he reached into the cloth and drew out a large red berry. He threw it into the air prompting the large bird to fly off of Aster's to catch it.

"You really spoil her." Jack remarked snuggling into Aster's arm.

"No I don't."

"Yes you do."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Ye-" Jack started but was soon cut off by someone calling his name. He turned to the window where the voice had come from but then a horn went off.

"Intruders."Jack said with slight fear before he took off, racing to the front of the castle with Aster hot on his heels. As they made it to the courtyard in front of the castle they were meet with warriors racing to get to transportation and prepare for battle.

"What is the status Kale? Who is attacking?" Jack asked already making battle plans.

"We don't know your majesty. We are still getting information." The soldier told Jack with a bow, before he vanished into the crowd to get his weapon.

"Where is Tooth and Sandy? Find them, and bring them here!" Jack ordered as a guard passed him his staff. Aster meanwhile had taken the binoculars from a guard to see who was intruding and what he saw made him grin.

"Jack, tell everyone to stand down. They're not intruders." Aster told him still grinning. Jack looked at him confused.

"What? Who are they?" He asked still in battle mode mind set.

"Friends."
