(A/N: More of the stories to go! Get them while they're fresh out of the plot bunny store! Sorry, it's so short, though; the next chapter will be longer, I can assure you of that.)
(I don't own anything or anyone you recognize.)
"What?" Tooth asked. "How can the Man in the Moon be in danger? What happened?" Nightlight sadly shrugged. He didn't know what to do. How could he leave his charge like this? The spectral boy floated down to the railing where some elves were standing, and sat down on an empty spot, resting his chin in his hands and rocking his legs back and forth, trying to keep his staff on his lap.
The moonbeam shimmered again, trying to comfort him. It's not your fault, Nightlight. Tsar Lunar would not want you to blame yourself.
How can I not? Nightlight answered in the language of moonbeams. I shouldn't have abandoned him in his time of need. How could I not see that he was in trouble?
Before the moonbeam could answer, though, a ray of light shone into the workshop. Nightlight looked up, and so did the moonbeam – but it wasn't a fellow moonbeam. Instead, it was a sun ray.
Nightlight immediately jumped up and notified Mother Goose. She turned and saw the light, at which Kailash looked up as well and honked, getting the other Guardians' attention. Upon seeing the opportunity, Nightlight pointed up at the window.
"The sun?" Jack asked, covering his eyes from the blinding light. "Yeah, it's bright."
The spectral boy shook his head. It had to be something more than just a random beam of light.
"Guardians." A female voice rang through the air, but only Sandy and Nightlight could understand it – the language of stars. They both stepped cautiously into the sunlight.
"Nightlight?" What is it?" Katherine asked. He turned around and told her to stay put while the female voice decided it was time to talk again.
"You have seen it, right? What has become of the Man in the Moon?" Nightlight and Sandy nodded rather slowly. The light shined a bit brighter. "You need to track down Pitchiner and the Demon God Asura before Tsar Lunar goes completely mad. Or else it'll be all over!"
Nightlight nodded. He would save his charge at any cost. Sandy nodded as well, and then the light was gone.
All of the other Guardians stopped covering their eyes, and looked up. "What…what was that?" Bunny asked, kind of in a daze.
Nightlight picked up his staff that he had unknowingly dropped on the ground.
"Lady Solar."
Headcanon 1: Nightlight is a star spirit (someone in the Golden Age who lives in harmony with stars).
Headcanon 2: Star spirits can look at stars' light and not get blinded.
Headcanon 3: Sandy is also a star spirit, because he was a shooting star pilot.
Alright, enough with the headcanons. It seems like Nightlight has something to tell the Guardians! How does he know the Woman in the Sun?
Next chapter coming soon!
