Author's Note

Hello there! Here is the much awaited chapter where I introduce Jack and his POV. Enjoy!

I stood among the Guardians, leaning comfortably on my staff. North leaned over an aged piece of parchment, studying the ancient writing covering the old scroll. I didn't bother listening to what North was muttering, sure I wouldn't understand anyways.

I glimpsed over at Bunny, who sat grouchily on a wooden chair, tapping his foot to a silent rhythm. He had apparently been in the middle of preparations, and wasn't all too happy about the disruption.

"We have big thing to discuss." North suddenly boomed. I stood up straight and swung my staff by my side nonchalantly, striding over to where North stood.

"Well, we better make this quick." Bunny muttered. "I have-"

"It is about prophecy. Prophecy Man in Moon gave, years ago."North explained.

Bunny instantly stopped moping and stood up straighter. "What are you saying North?" He said.

"I fear that prophecy will be true this year." North sighed.

I looked up at North. "What prophecy?" I asked, confused.

Tooth stood as well and fluttered over beside me.

"A long time ago," She explained, "Manny gave us a scroll, and it held a prophecy. It told us about a student, here at the school."

"Manny told us student is very powerful. He said that student had power of animagus, something very rare. Scroll explains dark magic radiates form person, and he threatens us as Guardian." North sighed. "We have no idea who student is, only that he threatens the children, and whoever threatens children, threatens Guardians."

"The scroll told us about this, but didn't tell us who it was." Bunny spoke up. "Do you still have that old thing, Sandy?" He asked the little man.

Sandy nodded slowly.

"Cool." I said. "I wanna see this scroll."

"It's written in an ancient language, Jack." Tooth explained. "North is the only one that understands it."

I looked over to North, raising my eyebrows. North crossed his arms and shrugged.

"I know many languages." He said. "Including old Norse. I have been around for long time, Frost."

I grinned. "Great." I leapt up and crouched on the top of Bunny's chair, trailing frost all along the back of it. "Let's get started."

Sandy walked in from the back room of North's office, carrying a very dusty, very old-looking scroll. It was covered in lines and dashes written in loopy handwriting that just didn't seem to fit the runes.

"Here we go Sandy. Place it on table. I read it to best of ability." Seeing my questioning glance, North further explained. "Has been long time since I have visited Vikings, they are only ones that use Norse. Not many believers up north."

I frowned. "No believers?" I asked. "Don't you come from the north? How could they not believe in you?"

"They believe many things. They believe Gods and spirits, but Santa Claus no." Now it was North's turn to frown. "It is crazy! No, Christmas! Only 'Snoggletog'. " North threw his thick arms up in incredulity. "And I am Russian, nothing like Vikings." He pointed at me.

"Snoggletog?" I asked, not believing my ears. "Man, I've got to visit the north more often." I grinned, imagining what other odd celebrations the Vikings had.

"It doesn't matter, mate. Right now we've bigger problems to face." Bunny interrupted.

"Right!" North declared. "Let me see scroll!" He rolled up his sleeves as though preparing for a fight. "Hmmmm...this is harder than I remember." North scratched his balding head and continued staring at the paper.

"Are you saying you don't remember how to read this thing, because if you are-"

"Relax bunny. We will figure out scroll! Now if I could remember what this word is..." North said.

"How?" I asked. "It's not like there are any Norse speaking spirits around here. Are there?"

"No." Tooth sighed.

Sandy had several images appear above his head, though they flashed by, forming incoherent bursts of golden sand.

"What?" Bunny and I asked at the same time. I turned to him and glared, as he shot a look back at me.

"Hmm...Yes I see. But Sandy, how will someone be undercover? We are teachers, not students..." Norths eyes suddenly lit up like a Christmas tree and he turned to face me. "I have idea!" North pointed excitedly to me. "You will become student at school, and you will be inside man! Haha! Brilliant, Sandy!"

I leapt off of Bunny's chair, carrying my staff loosely by my side. I pointed to my chest.

"Me? Be a student at a magic school you all teach?" I asked. No way was I spending a year in some stuck up, preppy magic school.

"Yes. It will be great advantage over powerful person, and you will help!" North boomed.

"Please, Jack?" Tooth begged. "It could really help us with this prophecy, and wouldn't it be fun to learn magic?" Tooth fluttered around, buzzing excitedly. "You could even join the Quidditch team! You wouldn't have to worry about marks, we are the teachers after all, and then-"

"Woah, woah, woah." I cut in. "What makes you think I want to go to school?"

"For once, I'm with snowflake over here." Bunny said. "I don't need him disrupting any of my classes. Got enough troublemakers to begin with." He grumbled.

"Please, Jack?'' Tooth pleaded.

I scowled, knowing that they had won. "Fine. But I am not wearing a pointy hat."
