(Chapter 1: New Guardian Problem)

When the moonbeam appeared the nightmare went deeper into the shadow, so the light wouldn't hit him. The guardians didn't seam to notice the movement from the shadows of the pole. They were to mesmerized looking at the shining crystal.

"Ah, guys, you know what this means?" The weird bird exclaimed.

All Phobos could do was wonder what did the crystal mean? He needed to get this information to his master, but he had to find out what it meant or the Intel would be worth nothing. He would earn a scolding from his master if he didn't get enough Intel.

The nightmares thoughts were broken when the big one said, "He has chosen a new guardian."

A new guardian!? That is not gonna be good for master. But, who though? I have to stay and find out. Phobos ignores the guardians guesses and statements of who was gonna get chosen. It's like they don't have common sense who cares who if you guess who it is it will still show no matter what. He longingly stares at the gem in silence as it slowly forms a figure.

What shows shocks everyone including the nightmare spy. Jack Frost!? He is the most powerful seasonal spirit on earth I must warn master before they get their hands on him. The nightmare travels by shadow into his Kings dark labyrinth.


(Pitch Black)

Phobos appears near the globe in the middle of the room. When Phobos lands on the ground Pitch turns to him. "I can tell you have great Intel Phobos. Now let me see what you saw my pet."

Pitch puts the palm of his hand on the dark mares sand. He closes his eyes and when he opens them up again he takes a step back. "A new guardian well just great." Pitch looks to the side gritting his teeth. 'Sighs' "Well seems I have an Arron to run, Phobos gather you brothers and sisters we are still carrying on with the plan. And make sure you kidnap every one of Tooth's helpers. We can't afford another problem." The nightmare king says darkly as he forms a shepherds crook from nightmare sand. The Nightmare nods and runs into the shadows disappearing.

Pitch sighs again. "Just great now I have to handle a winter spirit and not just any spirit the most powerful seasonal." Pitch groans in frustration. "At least he won't be to hard to find." He says as he looks up at the globe at Pennsylvania, United States. "Since he lives at a pond next to my lair." Grinning Pitch takes off out into the shadows. With his laugh menacingly echoing through the labyrinth.


Pitch cautiously hides in the shadows next to a tree. Just in case the spirit is at the frozen pond. Just as he was about to leave he spots the fresh layer of frost on the lakes icy surface. Which could only mean the boy was just there. The only thing that annoyed him was that it was still daylight making it hard for him to travel, but that also meant all I have to do is find a batch of kids, yet it still doesn't help the fact it makes it hard for me to travel since it is mid day. But I'm sure there will still be a few shadows I could travel through. Pitch starts to glance around for a shadow so he can stay hidden from the frost boy. Soon he find some going towards the town.

He quickly phases from shadow to shadow. Making him quickly approach the town of Burgess. He stops at the edge of the forest brush looking for an assessable shadow. He stops when he hears children laughing. Almost making him gag. His focus goes back after seeing a shadow on a roof top. He shifts to the shadow on the tall building. It was the best advantage point.

His attention goes back to where he heard the children after sensing a strange type of fear. "Hmm odd," Pitch says after making his attention go back to looking for the spirit. A loud shout gets his attention towards the kids again. Whoa. Jamie, watch out! Stop!

"What in the world are they screaming about now. Stupid mortals." Pitch rolls his eyes. Might as well leave then since I don't see him. He hops into a shadow.

He quickly stops in an alleyway after hearing a chuckle from a familiar voice. He grins evilly. 'well seems as if my search has just come to an end.' Pitch thought to himself as he sees the boy fly through the streets. Pitch is surprised when he sees a child sliding on ice behind Jack Frost. "What in the world so he's the cause for the shouts from the mortals," He whispers with shock in his voice.

He senses some fear in the child, but it goes away. "Hmm... interesting" A honk of a truck horn separates him from his thoughts. "Wow this kid is reckless," he blurts out as he sees an oncoming vehicle. But the words he has just said go silence as the reckless spirit turns to make the kid miss the truck with ice. Making Pitch honestly impressed with the boy's quick reaction speed and power over his element.

'He would be a great ally if I could get him on my side,' Pitch thought. A sudden burst of fear and scream make him look up. To see the kid in the air, yet landing with a thud into a pile of snow. "Still reckless as ever though." He says as he watches other children gather near the statue that Jack was standing on. Pitch shakes his head, and phases into one of the children's shadows still trying to watch, and so he could get a closer view. Yet he couldn't help but wonder why weren't the kids looking at Jack on the statue. He winces as he watches a sofa hit the kid out of nowhere making the kid topple over. And all he hears is a Whoops from the seasonal. Making him shake his head in response.

Pitch still watches from one of the kids shadows.

The brown haired kid finally stands up with a smile on his face. "Cool a tooth!"

"Dude, that means cash!" another states. Pitch rolls his eyes at the kid's belief.

They start to walk off with Jack following them trying to get there attention, but to no avail they ignore him. He tries to stop them yet is sent straight through them. 'This could be useful,' pitch thought as he shifts out of the child's shadow to a close shadow in a dark alley. The kid flies off with the help of the wind. Pitch follows him secretly all the way until he gets to the boys lake.
