Rise of the Guardians 2

Chapter 18

It threw us out on to a rocky ledge that gradually sloped down into the shore of the lake. I got up, dizzy, but I was able to keep the contents of my stomach inside instead of on the ground. Jack wasn't so lucky. He once again throw up all over the ground. Meri was also able to keep from vomiting and surprisingly so was Rapunzel. She was pale and was leaning against a tree, but had able to hold her ground.

It was definitely the same place that we had been to the first time we time traveled, but there were differences, like the trees in different places and the shore wasn't as worn away and most noticeable on one of the ledges was a golden flower. There was an old woman by it singing softly. She de-aged until she was recognisable as the Spirit that we saw in the Warren. Gothel put a basket, disguised as a bush, over the flower. She then turned and vanished into the night.

We all climbed down to the flower, making sure that Rapunzel didn't fall or trip or anything. When we reached it, Rapunzel knelt down and began to sing.

Flower gleam and glow

Let your power shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine

As she sang the flower glowed with a golden light. Her hair began to glow too, starting from the roots, down to the ends.

Heal what has been hurt

Change the Fates' design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine

I then realized her hair was growing. She lifted up in the air and was bathed in golden light. Her hair reached her feet and when it stopped glowing it was blonde. She grew younger until she was the same age as she was in the Guardians crystle.

She grew shimmering butterfly wings and we heard a voice speak.

"Welcome, Rapunzel of Corona, Daughter of the Sun, Spirit of light and Healing, Guardian of Joy."

It was the best moment I'd had since Sulis's Palace. Naturally something bad had to happen next.
