More incredible story beat boards from my buddy Javier Recio. You can find the rest here. That’s right—THERE’S MORE!!
Rise of the Guardians was easily my favorite film of the year last year. I’m excited to buy it!
Some early research for Act III, where Javier went sometimes totally wild with some ideas. Got to love doing exploration.

As for the history of Guardians of Childhood, I would say read the books. Unfortunately, most people would rather wait for the movie. While, eventually, Jamie Bennett’s debut book series will get published, it won’t make it to the silver screen until several years after his death. In fact, the most unlikely person produces and directs it it. His first born son. Later, you will see why it was so incredibly unlikely that this was the career path his son took (even though any critic will eventually call the man a genius). So, waiting for the movie is unlikely. And, unfortunately, the book series didn’t gain the popularity it deserved.
If I could, I would sum their stories up for you. I would, but it would take a whole chapter of this story. Several chapters, in fact. I could have a chapter for each Guardian and former Guardian. I could have several for Pitch Black alone. But, as you know, this isn’t their story. It is Jack Frost’s. Actually, it isn’t even his anymore. It’s his afterlife. And, since he is no longer a Guardian of Childhood, the other Guardian’s stories would have no effect on this one. So, like Jackson Overland Frost, you’re going to have to read the books.
But, since he’s lucky and lives with the author he doesn’t have to wait for them to come out. He is able to look over Jamie Bennett’s notes and listen to audio recordings and finally have the whole story (or as much as Jamie Bennett knows because even the Guardians left a few details out). And Jamie Bennett has no patience to explain everything or sum it up, so he just let Jack Frost have at it.

“Oh yeah, I’ll tell you something—I think you’ll understand—When I say that something—I wanna hold your hand,” Jack sang softly, pressing himself against her back close, holding her tightly against him, and lacing his fingers through hers. Her heavy, panicked breathing was finally slowing down. Her muscles relaxed against him as she brought their hands to her lips. He continued to sing to her gently, softly, and it was much more like a serenade. Of course, if anyone knew Jack was a horrible singer it was Sophie. He sang to her every chance he could get. He himself couldn’t understand it, but it is what it is and he didn’t mind and clearly she didn’t either.
This wasn’t the usual song he sang to her. But he had heard the song playing from Laura’s computer the other day and it had been suck in his head since. Jack had always been a huge fan of the Beatles. Without them, music wouldn’t be what it was today. Although, most of the more popular stuff was crap, bubblegum, annoying—you get my drift. Jack Frost didn’t enjoy mindless, useless lyrics put in front of the same tune you heard in the song before it. But that was the popular stuff.
See, when you get to the underground stuff, that’s where it got interesting and deep and sometimes brought tears to your eyes if you heard them live because the music was just so profound.
But this wasn’t about music. It was about Sophie and it was about bringing her down from the first panic attack she’s really had in weeks.

Jack was awakened by the jostling of the truck bed. Merida turned to Jack and pressed her finger against her lips, urging him to go back to sleep. She carried her bow and a quiver full of arrows. Jack assumed she was going to go out in the early morning mist to shoot some arrows into targets she had set up the night before. He groaned a bit and complied, falling back into a slumber.
What awakened him the second time was a strange sound. Like the voice of a child faintly beckoning. Jack sat up and looked around. Nothing. He stood up on the roof of the car and scanned the area. Toothless was sleeping, undisturbed. Jack spotted Merida through the mist. Clearly, he hadn’t been sleeping long before the sound. Then, there was a second one. The mane of red hair was disappearing into the forest. Jack quickly jumped off of the truck and ran after her.
When he caught up to her, he was breathless and she shushed him. The girl pointed to a glowing blue object on the ground. A… blue… wisp of smoke. As they neared it, another one cropped up with that strange calling sound that awakened Jack. Merida and Jack looked to one another.
“Will o’ the Wisp.” she whispered. “I told ye they show up around me.”
