Trained By a Rainbow

14- Rising Guardians

-Jack Frost POV-

I shouted for joy as I flew around. Spring was ending, which meant not as much to do, but there were some places in the world I was able to give snow to. Yellowstone park even has snowman building contests every summer thanks to yours truly.

I had been pledged a guardian no more than two months ago and was pleasantly surprised to find it didn't add all that much to my schedule. I just needed to make double sure kids were happy and answer when the other guardians call. 

I stopped, looked up and saw the aurora borealis shining in the north. I smirked, "Well, our work is never done, I suppose." 

With that, I zoomed to the North Pole where Santa and the others would be waiting. 

I flew in the window of the workshop were I immediately heard North, Santa, speak. "Frost, you're late."

"Well, one reason most of my attempts to break in failed before I became a guardian was because I could never find the place. Seriously. I need a map or something." Then I realized there was someone I didn't recognize in the room. "Company?"

“Jack,” Tooth told me gesturing to the unknown man. “This is Father Time. He’s on a similar rank to Manny.”

I looked at the man with a new respect. I knew he was real but never saw him before. He looked like your typical old wise guy with spectacles and a robe. “Nice to meet you.” I told him with a small smile.

“Well,” Bunny said in his Australian accent, seeming slightly impatient. “Now that we’re all here. Mind telling us what’s going on?”

Father Time nodded. “Sad to say that Pitch is already planning to return with a method we have never seen before. He plans to indirectly attack children by corrupting the adults.” I raised my eyebrow at that, but he wasn’t done. He walked over to the globe and extended his hand causing it to glow. “There’s one teenaged girl in particular he has his eyes on. If he corrupts her, the world will end as we know it. You are all aware of the return of dragons on the west hemisphere. Corect?”

We all nodded. “Let me just say, they’re making our job a whole lot harder.” Sandy did pictures showing his agreement with this sand above his head.

Father time nodded. “As much as it pains us that the dragon queen forces her subjects to act this way, a beacon of hope has been found."

An image of a teenager with sky blue skin and Rainbow colored hair was shown on the globe. She was flying on a black dragon, looking like she was having the time of her life as they each did tricks.

“This is the dragon princess. Prophesied long ago to have the body of a human, but a dragon for a soul. Destined to unite the two spesteze at last. She has a defining trait of all types of dragons. She still needs to learn to control her power, but once she does, nothing can stop her. Pitch wants to take advantage of that power she wields.”

North stepped closer as I studied her face, wondering where I’ve seen her before. “What should we do?”

Time smiled. “Well, it will mostly be Jack.”

I reacted before looking at him with confusion and surprise. “Why me?”

“Jack,” Time said, with a twinkle in his eye. “She seems familiar. Does she not?”

I nodded. “Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?”

“Jack. She used to believe in you.”

I did a double take as the others had varied reactions. Tooth and Sandy seemed excited while Sandy gave me a double thumbs up with a third with his sand over his head. Bunny looked shocked while North just nodded as if he had a hunch about the whole ordeal.
