Once they arrived at the pole Jack immediately made his way to the globe, and didn't seem to notice anything wrong at first, but then he noticed that where Jamie's light was there seemed to be red light close to it. However, Jack could sense that this light wasn't something wrong and he didn't know how. All he knew was the red light was as warm and comforting to his heart as the other lights. "Hey...so...is this what's wrong with the globe? Because I hardly think..." Before he could finish, Sandman was instantly at his side with a curious expression. "Sandy?"
Sandy quickly turned around and made an image above his head of Jamie with his mother and pointed at the mother, and then it was followed by a question mark.
The other guardians seemed to notice the same thing and they were all wearing curious and astounded expressions. "Jack...are you aware of what the red light means?"
"No...is it why I was called here?"
"No...not at all..." Tooth answered with a look of awe in her eyes.
"Well, what does it mean?" Jack questioned, and he looked down at Bunny who seemed to be watching his actions closer for some reason, and he's noticed it since they left. Not that he would admit it, but he figures that Bunny being distracted was how he won their race.
"It mean that a grown up...an adult...believes again. This very rare occurrence, Jack. Something like this has not been done since dark ages...when everyone believed in pitch." North began explaining. "I believe Sandy is right...it seems to be Jamie's mother."
"It is...I was just there. She knew that Jamie wasn't lying when he told her he was playing with Jack Frost...and the more and more Jamie explained, the more she began to notice Jack being there. Then, she eventually heard and saw Jack. Not only him either. She saw me too. They know that they can't tell anyone that she knows."
"I don't get it..." Jack started as he floated down to stand in front of North. "Isn't that impossible?"
"Oh, no...not at all...it's just extremely rare now." Tooth began. "You see, Jack...there hasn't been a red light on the globe since the dark ages like North said. Around it's end is when we began. We fought off the dark ages. That was a very very long time ago. There's a reason that North's place is our base of operations...it's been here centuries, but it has also been here long before the dark ages ended. He is older than all of us combined...the only one that's older than he is, is MiM. Anyway, as the times changed so did the adult's belief and they forgot about us, but they allowed their children to believe and had even encouraged them, because back then if the children found any sort of happiness they should hold on to it. So you see...even if the adults didn't believe, the children did. What is curious is that in order to have a red light, that would mean an adult believes in all of the guardians and in order to do that she would have to either have a very close connection with at least one of us, or know all of us personally. She doesn't have either. Which means you just continue to be a mystery Jack."
"So basically...what you're telling me is that it should be impossible in general for her to believe like she does and for her red light to appear?"
"Well as far as the reason go, then yes...but we can explore that later, I promise." North stated with his eyes speaking truth in that promise. "In truth there was nothing wrong with globe. You are here for what we have all done. It sort of...initiation."
"Wait...I thought I already did that. I agreed to be a guardian..and listened to the trumpeting and everything."
"Not everything. You see...We are like family. We look after one another, protect, care, and discuss with each other."
"But...?" Jack asked and noticed Tooth was holding his teeth box. "Tooth, why do you have my teeth?"
"Well...remember how I told you that we were all someone before we were chosen? Well, I was telling the truth...but also...our teeth can be used for something else if we are chosen to be guardians like you were. In order for us to learn about each new guardian a bit better we..."
"You...have to go through my memories?"
"Not just that, Jack." Bunny started, and noticed how uncomfortable the winter sprite seemed to feel about the gentle way he used his name, but if he were to be honest, he couldn't help it, especially after what Jamie's mother had said to him. "We're not gonna just take a little trip down memory lane with ya. We will feel everything you felt. We will all hear yer thoughts as clear as day, feel your emotions as if they were our own, and we'll be able to feel what your power feel like through you...in a strange sense...while we are still ourselves...we will feel as if we were you. We will all be aware that this is only because of the memories, and it won't harm us...but it is a bit disorienting, and very personal. We all had to go through it. Oh, I should mention that if anything like wounds or something physically wrong goes wrong with the memory version of you, we will be fine. It will just sort of be a layered feeling and won't affect us the way it did you. Also, if there are any flying scenes we will just sort of be floating alongside you."
"Why do you sound worried...and almost...scared?" Jack questioned Bunny as he backed away until he was met with North's belly.
"Because, Jack...you're one of a kind, you existed without needing to be believed in. You saw what happened to us when we weren't believed in for a day...you're considered almost impossible...but obviously MiM had other plans."
"Apparently..." Jack muttered. "Alright...I guess if I have to...Will I feel everything over again?"
"I'm sorry, Jack." Tooth looked down with sad eyes as she quietly confirmed that he will feel everything all over again. Then, her eyes slowly looked back at Jack after a few moments and she sighed regretfully. "There is also a small thing...we will experience everything you have up to this moment. So that means..."
"You'll see what really happened when I met up with Pitch."
"Yes..." Tooth confirmed with sad eyes.
"Well...let's get this over with...I only saw one memory of my family and my sister, so I don't really no much else. Everything else was jumbled...How long will this take?"
"Quite a while, mate...you've been alive for...well...we don't exactly know how long..."
Jack sighed and nodded his head. "Alright. Let's do this."
Tooth nodded her head and placed Jack's teeth bod into the center of the globe, and there was a bright shining like that came from the center and shot through all of them, and Jack felt himself being pulled into the light and into the globe, and then almost instantly his vision faded to white.
