North, Bunny, Tooth, and Sandy were a bit concerned with their situation. They had agreed to come to this world and help, but they were not expecting the large group of living rocks that greeted them. Some of them even tried to convince Tooth that she was in love with North, a ridiculous statement in all of their minds. The song they sang did nothing to change their minds. It would take more than a song to get those two together. Not even Cupid could make that match work out, but these trolls seemed to have other ideas.
"Enough! We do not have time for these silly games, we need to find Jack." North said, throwing away the leaf clothes the trolls had tried to give him. Tooth thought they were sweet, even if they were wrong. "Thank you, these are just wonderful." she said, glancing down at the flower necklace she had been given. It wasn't quite as amazing as teeth, but it was still nice. "For once, I agree with North. Jack is our priority right now, so let's get to it." Bunny said.
Grand Pabbie was annoyed as well. He knew that the rock trolls were light-hearted and looking for entertainment, but he needed this group focused on the task at hand. "First, you must make good on your end of the deal. This darkness that is spreading throughout the world, we need you to stop it." he told them, glancing at the sky. It was night, but even so he could see no stars. the dark cloud that had started forming over Arendelle had reached their home.
North followed his gaze, looking up to the sky. He could see darkness, but he could not tell what the cause of it was. Sandy touched his shoulder, holding his hand out to show dream sand in his hand. Then, Sandy pointed at the sky and created an image of Pitch above his head. Realization sinking in, North realized that this was the reason for the feeling in his belly. Pitch was attacking this world and Jack was fighting on his own. "Pitch." he said, shaking his head and not explaining any further.
Bunny could feel the ominous presence as well, but he was prepared. As long as children believed, Bunny could take on anyone. North had said that people didn't believe in this world, but none of them had lost their powers so they were fine. Maybe the rock had been wrong, since they were all still strong and ready for battle. "This isn't over yet. I thought that it would end once he was gone, but he's never going to stop coming." Tooth said, some of her fairies hiding behind her.
North sighed and shook his head. "I told Pitch before and now I will tell you again. As long as one child believes, we will be here to fight fear. No matter how dark things may seem, we will not give up until everything is lost. Even then, we will keep fighting because it is the only way to protect the children of this world." he said, trying to inspire some confidence in the guardians. Tooth smiled, feeling encouraged from his words. North was right. She couldn't just give up because Pitch was here.
Sandy showed him a thumbs up, trying to tell him that he did well. Sandy understood how Pitch worked. The more fear the Guardians had, the more power Pitch gained. North's words were the perfect weapon to use. As long as the Guardians stayed confident and united, Pitch would not stand a chance against them. "Who is this Pitch? Jack mentioned him as well, but he did not get the chance to explain who he was." Grand Pabbie asked, watching the group carefully.
North looked back at the man that had brought them here, deciding it was his job to explain. "Pitch Black, also known as the boogeyman or the king of nightmares. He lives off of fear, bringing darkness everywhere he goes. Recently, he learned how to manipulate Sandy's dream sand, turning happy dreams into nightmares." The Guardians all looked serious about this man, knowing just how dangerous he could be.
"I should warn you, along with him there are other dangers in this world. Take a look around you and tell me, what season do you think it is?" Grand Pabbie asked, glancing at the group in front of him. He knew that the danger was great and it did not surprise him to hear about this Pitch. It explained the loss of control from Elsa, whose powers were so closely linked to her emotions. If this Pitch had created fear in her, he could have been the one to start this winter, even if it wasn't directly.
Bunny thought the answer to his question was obvious. Snow was on the ground and ice could be seen everywhere. It was freezing, almost as cold as it got at the Pole. "Obviously it's winter, mate. Even I know that it snows in the winter." Bunny said, getting annoyed with this pointless question. Grand Pabbie sighed and shook his head. "Actually, it is the middle of summer here. This winter has been caused by someone with magic very similar to Jack's. Unlike him, she was born with this power and she is not good at controlling it. I imagine that the influence of this Pitch Black caused her to lose control and start this change in weather." he explained.
Sandy thought that this was a problem. He remembered fighting side by side with Jack in the past. He knew just how strong Jack was. Dealing with someone just as strong with him along with Pitch would be challenging. Jack's frost had the power to freeze dream sand, and he imagined the girl could do the same thing. "We'll deal with her, no problem. Just relax and let us take care of it." Bunny said, confident in his skills as a Guardian.
Grand Pabbie shook his head, realizing he hadn't explained this too well. "Do not harm the girl. She might be afraid, but she does have a good heart and the potential to help the world around us." he told them, making Bunny feel disappointed. He had wanted to prove that he could beat Jack Frost. The two of them had always argued and this was his chance to prove that he was stronger than the winter spirit.
Their discussion was interrupted by a group of three people, walking into the home of the rock trolls. "Meet my family. Hey guys!" Kristoff said, waving at the rock trolls that had gathered around the Guardians. Much like with Jack, he was unable to see any of the people there, only his family. Out of the group, Olaf was the only one able to see them standing in the clearing.
"They're rocks." Anna said in amazement, looking at the rock trolls around them. Olaf shook his head. "Not all of them. Hi big bunny, and gold man, oh and that one looks like a colorful bird women. What about you? Hmm..maybe a pirate?" he said, leaving Anna and Kristoff staring at the snow man with looks of disbelief. "Olaf, there's nothing there." Kristoff said, making Anna shove him. "Don't you dare destroy his dreams. You know what he's like." she said.
Kristoff rolled his eyes, remembering Olaf's biggest dream. "Yeah, I remember. The snow man that can't wait for summer." he said, shaking his head. "What's wrong with that? I mean, can't you just imagine how wonderful it will be?" Olaf asked, making Kristoff worry about him bursting into song again. Luckily, the snow man remained distracted by the invisible people in the clearing. "Kristoff!" one of the trolls shouted, running up to him. All of the other trolls rushed over as well, surrounding him and trying to see what had changed since his last visit.
"Rock trolls, that's what they are." Anna said, pleased to have finally remembered what they were. She had heard about them when she was a child, but she never expected to actually meet them. "He brought a girl!" one of the trolls shouted, causing the others to all rush over to her as well. "Let me see. Bright eyes, working nose, strong teeth. Yes, she'll do nicely for our Kristoff." he added after inspecting her.
"Oi, enough with that. We don't have time for that song again." Bunny said, trying to stop them. It seemed to be too late, though. They were already surrounding them and despite the protests of the strangers, they started singing. North groaned, leaning back and feeling upset after having just gone through this. "Do they do this to everyone they meet?" Tooth asked, watching them continue. Sandy shrugged and created an image of a question mark as the snow man joined them. "I don't know, but they're Kristoff's family. He calls them the love experts." he said, startling the Guardians.
"So, you are the only one that believes in us, at least out of this group." North said, looking at the strange creature. It was a living object. He would have been more surprised if he hadn't met the rock trolls first, but it was still rather amazing. "Well, I guess so. I mean, you're here, right? It's rather hard to say something isn't real when you can see it." Olaf said, not understanding the question. The other Guardians looked at him, confused by his answer.
"We are Guardians. In order to see us, you must believe in us first." North said, thinking it might help get the point across. "Well, that makes sense. Hey guys, if you believe the pirate and bunny are here, you'll see them!" Olaf yelled out to his friends, now that the song had finished. They all jumped up when the girl collapsed, her hair turning even whiter than before.
"What is wrong with her?" North asked, looking towards the rock troll that had brought them here. "There is ice in her heart, put there by her sister. If it is not removed, she will turn into solid ice forever." Grand Pabbie said, explaining it to everyone here. "But you can remove it, right?" Kristoff asked, feeling worried about Anna. He had grown close to her throughout their journey and he wasn't ready to let her go.
The Guardians looked grave as well, worried about the girl in front of them. She had seemed like a nice girl, even if she didn't believe in them. "I cannot. I am sorry, Kristoff. If it was her head, that would be easy but only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart." Grand Pabbie explained. Kristoff looked even graver as he remembered the boy at the ice palace. He had been hit, too. Was his heart frozen? "An act of true love?" Anna asked, her voice weak.
"The boy, will he be alright?" Kristoff wondered out loud. He might not know the kid, but he had seemed dazed from being struck. Grand Pabbie looked at him, wondering who else had been hit with Elsa's magic. "Boy? Is there another with a frozen heart?" he asked. Kristoff was not certain, but he did have to explain it to them. "There was someone else there, a boy with brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt and light brown pants. By his hand was a wooden staff. I don't know why he was there, but I think he got hit by Elsa's magic too."
The Guardians looked alarmed, recognizing most of the description. The hair color and eye color might be a little bit off, but it sounded too much like Jack for it to be anyone else. Grand Pabbie's face looked grave as well, knowing exactly what happened. The boy cursed with magic had discovered what happened when his heart was frozen. Since the gift of magic was centered in the heart, his powers were also frozen, unable to protect him from this curse. It would only be a matter of time before Jack was frozen solid. Without someone in this world who truly loved him, there was no hope to save the boy.
Once again, please review and tell me what you think!
