Hey Everyone!
Here's the next chapter and I hope you enjoy it :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Rise of the Guardians (otherwise I wouldn't be here making fanfictions for it...)

Chapter 1 – Assembling of the Guardians:

(3rd POV)

291 Years Later - North Pole:

North slammed down the lever for the Northern Lights; the meeting signal for the other Guardians. He let out a big sigh. If Pitch really was back, then all four of the Guardians were in trouble.

He leaned against the railing, staring at the globe whist waiting for the other Guardians. Nothing else had happened since he'd sent out the meeting signal, but he kinda wanted something to happen again, just to making sure he wasn't imagining it. His turquoise orbs danced across the globe, searching for any shadows or flickering lights of the believers, but in futile; everything looked as normal as it should be.

After a few minutes, the door slammed and Tooth flew in, followed by a couple of her mini fairies. "North, are you okay? What's the matter?"

The Guardian of Wonder put a smile of his face, shrugging off his worries and turned to grin at the female guardian. "It would be best if we wait for other Guardians, yes?"

Tooth gave a small smile, before turning towards her mini fairies and calling out instructions for the teeth collecting.

Not long after, a hole opened up in the ground, followed by a furious-looking Pooka. "This better be good North!" Bunny cried as he hopped into the meeting room. North was just about to greet him when the last arriving guardian came through the open roof top.

"Ah, Sandy, thank you for coming," North said in his Russian accent as the golden man flew down to the floor. Golden sand pictures appeared above the obviously annoyed guardian, and North sighed. "I know, I know, but I obviously wouldn't have called you here unless it was serious." At North's worried look, Tooth quieted her chattering fairies and everyone turned towards the Guardian of Wonder.

"The boogeyman was here! At the pole!"

"Pitch? Pitch Black? Here?" Tooth cautiously asked.

"Yes! There was…black sand covering the globe," North continued, gesturing towards the sphere in the middle of the workshop. "And then a shadow…"

"Wait, wait, hold on I thought you said you saw Pitch?" Bunny asked, holding a bare Easter egg in one hand and a paintbrush in the other.

North sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "Err, well…not exactly…"

"Not exactly? Can you believe this guy?" Bunny asked, smirking towards The Guardian of Dreams. The little man gave a small shrug as a golden question mark appeared above his head. "Yeah, you said it Sandy," Bunny said, turning his attention towards painting the Easter egg.

"Look," North sighed, looking over to the uninterested Bunny. "He's up to something very bad…I feel it…in my belly!"

"Okay, so let me get this straight," Bunny said, turning back towards the Russian man. "You summon me over here three days before Easter because of your belly?" He cried, jabbing his paintbrush into North's stomach. "Mate, if I did this to you three days before Christmas…"

"Ah, Bunny," The jolly man interrupted, plucking the half-painted Easter egg from the Pooka's paws. "Easter is not Christmas."

The Pooka looked shocked for a second before breaking out into an unamused laugh, flattening his ears against his head. "Here we go…"

Sandy floated on the side watching the two Guardians fight over which holiday was more important. Noticing that an elf was drinking from his cup, he pulled away from the side, causing the elf to fall of the floor. Suddenly catching sight of moonlight seeping through the opened roof top, Sandy turned in shock towards the other three Guardians, quickly realizing no one had noticed the arrival of MiM.

He frantically jumped around, gesturing towards the moon and desperately trying to grab the attention of the other guardians. Whistling didn't work, and flashing his golden charades didn't help either. At one point, Tooth had turned to him. "Am I right Sandy?" The golden man smiled with glee while showing an arrow pointing towards the moon, happy he finally got someone's attention. Unfortunately, the fairy took it the wrong way, and turned her attention back towards her mini fairies.

Sandy sighed with exhaustion before his head jerked back towards one of the elves, who was trying to drink the last remains of his discarded egg nog. Floating over to the elf, Sandy pick it up by it hat and shook it, ringing the bell and grabbing the attention of the other Guardians. After a moment of silence, the Guardian of Dreams dropped the elf. Creating an image of the moon above his head, he gestured towards it, and then towards the open roof top.

North turned towards the roof. "Ah, Man in Moon!" Looking back towards Sandy, he asked "Sandy, why didn't you say something?" At those words, the Guardian of Dreams' ears blew sand from anger, but North didn't notice. "It's been a long time old friend. What is big news?"

The moon's light glowed onto the floor, forming into a silhouette of the boogeyman himself. Bunny's eyes widened as he turned towards the Guardian of Wonder. "It is Pitch…" He mumbled. North tapped his stomach and gave Bunny an 'I told you so' look before continuing.

"Manny, what must we do?"

All four guardians turned towards the moon-lit spot on the flooring as part of it descended into the ground and a large crystal slowly rose up from the missing spot on the floor. "Uh, guys, you know what this means?" Tooth asked, fluttering around the glowing crystal.

"He's chosen a new guardian!" North said, looking at the crystal in disbelief.

"What? Why?" Bunny cried.

"Must be big deal, Manny thinks we need help…"

"Since when do we need help?!"

"I wonder who it's gonna be?" Tooth asked eagerly. A four-leaved clover appeared above Sandy's head. "Maybe the leprechaun?"

"Please not the ground hog. Please not the ground hog…" Bunny muttered.

After a few moments, the moonlight dulled, and shown on the crystal was a teenage boy no older than eighteen. He wore a hooded jacket and a devilish smirk and in his hand he held a staff.

"…Jack Frost." North muttered. A couple of Tooth's mini fairies fainted at his words.

"Uh…I take it back, the ground hog's fine…" Bunny said.

Tooth hovered with a dreamy look on her face. Noticing the other guardians were looking at her, she joined in the conversation. "Well…as long as he helps to…protect the children…right?"

"Jack Frost?!" Bunny exclaimed. "He doesn't care about children! All he does is freeze water pipes and mess with my egg hunts! He's an irresponsible, sel…" Bunny's words cut off as the crystal began to glow again.

The image of Jack Frost disappeared and in his place stood a womanly figure. Waist-length, wavy locks of hair covered her shoulders and a soft smile covered her face. She wore a spaghetti-strapped top, denim shorts and around her neck was a dark cloak that reached her ankles. In her right hand she held a staff, identical to the one that Jack had held in the previous image.

All the guardians stood dumbfounded for a couple of minutes, staring at the new glowing image on the crystal.

"Who is that?!" Bunny cried.

Yeah, I know, this chapter's kinda boring, it's just a filler chapter.
Atheia will be appearing in the next chapter though, I can assure you, this was mainly just to introduce her to the Guardians.
But, anyway, leave me a review about this, and if you like the story so far favorite and follow!

Have a good day!
