Everyone knows the Man in the Moon and his guardians. But what about the guardians the Woman in the Sun has picked? This is the story of how those two worlds met.
Chapter 1: The Woman in the Sun and Her Guardian
All I remember was waking up to the rising sun. It was so beautiful and comforting, so inviting and made me feel safe. That was when I heard her speak to me as well. She told me that I was chosen to be the "Spirit of Summer" and to protect summertime (luckily the waters of the earth are my buddies and help me get to places). I am also a protector of childhood, although I'm not sure what I protect, and I have a core, a center that is the purpose for my existence. However, she told me that I would have to find this core on my own.
It's been alittle over 300 years now and I still haven't found it…or anyone who can see The Spirit of Summer. Heck, I'm so unpopular that I don't even have a name. Nope, people just call me "A/C Killer" and "Evil Heat Demon". Yep, I'm totally feeling the love.
[3rd person POV]
Jack flew into North's workshop, spraying flakes of ice and snow all over Phil the Yetis' face. Phil stared at the young guardian and walked away with his toy he was working on, grumbling to himself. Laughing alittle the winter spirit began walking to his room, stopping at the globe room to say "Hi" to North.
Inside the globe room was North who was talking to one of the other yetis while Sandy was playing with the elves. Neither of them noticed Jack until he froze the little helpers and the light bulbs they had been holding. At that moment both turned towards the doorway and went over to greet him, completely ignoring the frozen elves and the yeti.
"Jack, you are back early? This is odd for you." North said after letting Jack out of a hug.
"Well, it has gotten alittle too hot in Burgess. Then again, it is summer." He answered. "So what are you and Sandy up to?"
"Oh, well he was just visiting and Nora was showing me new toy. I don't really like the blue though." North said whilst turning to the yeti with the toy car. "Maybe if red it would look better?"
"I think the blue is fine. Besides, not everything can be red." Jack said, eyeing the toy car.
North thought for a moment and said, "Fine. Paint it purple."
Nora looked at him with an expression of disbelief and left the room grumbling. Jack snickered at the yetis' dismay and looked back at Sandy who was tapping the frozen elves. Just at that moment a hole in the ground appeared and out came Bunnymund, who stormed straight towards Jack. Following him was Tooth with a look of concern on her face, telling Bunny to stop.
"Hey mate, what's the idea of freezing half my eggs?! I need them to be ready for Easter!" Bunny shouted at the Winter Spirit.
Jack laughed and answered, "Wow it took you that long to notice they were frozen? I must be getting better of maybe this kangaroo is getting alittle senile."
"That's hilarious but one: I'm a BUNNY! Not a kangaroo. And two: You better un-freeze 'em right now or I swear I'll make ya!" Bunny threatened.
As those two continued on with their dispute with each other and Tooth trying to intervene, North watched and laughed. Sandy, who couldn't interject even if he wanted to, looked around the globe room. It was when the sun was shining intensely through the big opening in the roof that he notice this was no normal beam of light. It was someone who rarely, more so than the Man in the Moon, spoke to them. It was the Woman in the Sun.
Desperately Sandy tried to get the attention of his fellow guardians, only to fail as they bickered and laughed. He looked at a non-frozen elf that had just walked in and silently sighed. Grabbing the elf by the hat he got close to the group and began to shake the small helper up and down, causing the bell to ring loudly.
All of them stopped arguing and looked at their small golden friend. He dropped the elf and made the shape of a woman in the sun over his head while pointing. Their expressions showed their confusion and awe as the group turned and looked to the roof.
"Who is it?" Jack asked North.
"Someone who rarely ever speaks to us: The Woman in Sun. She is opposite of Man in Moon." North told to Jack. Then he turned to the ray of bright sunlight. "Woman in Sun, it has been very long. What troubles bring you to us?"
The ray of light made a shadow of what looked like a shrouded figure with holes for eyes. All of them, minus Jack and Sandy, gasped in shock. Then, the platform opened to reveal the crystal coming out again, but this time it was glowing gold. This was a new guardian and a new enemy.
"What's happening? Whose shadow was that?" Jack asked while staring at the crystal.
"It's an old enemy, worse than Pitch; Kuroi, the embodiment of darkness and death. And that crystal there mate is choosing a new guardian. The Woman in the Sun has never picked one though. This is going to be interesting." Bunnymund said, not taking his eyes off the crystal.
"A new guardian? I thought all of us were chosen by the Man in the Moon?"
"All of us were. This is a first from WiS. She never talks to us as well so this new guy must be of use against Kuroi. Ah, she's going to show us!"
All of them watched intently as the crystal began to make a hologram of this new guardian. However, as it finished taking form they all paused and stared quietly. It was a young guy, about Jacks height and age, who also wielded a staff similar to Jacks. The end however was in the shape of a zigzag pointing upward.
"WiS, who is this new guardian? We do not know of him?" North asked the Woman in the Sun.
In response a different ray of light shone down and made the sign of the sun. Then the beam moved over to California and focused on a certain location near the northern half of the state. All of them stared at it for a good moment and thought about what WiS meant with the sun symbol. That was until Tooth suddenly perked up and made an excited squeak. Turning to face her they watched as she flew about happily.
"Tooth, what's got you so hyped up?" Jack asked.
"I know who this is...well I know him but I don't know his name. Although if I looked into his tee-"She said before being interrupted.
"Tooth you're going on a rant. Who is this?" Bunnymund said, pointing his paint brush at the hologram.
"Oh my, you're right. This," she said as she flew over to the hologram, "is the Spirit of Summer and protector of summertime."
