NICK ST NORTH, BANDIT KING

RotG + GoC AU → zombie apocalypse

The outbreak turns the adage ‘things get strange after dark’ into a punch line.  Strange would have been welcome when death became relative.  Inside the quarantine zone MiM’s Guardians are spitfire forces against the undead and a comforting go between for the uninfected survivors and the reclusive man who keeps them as safe as the world allows.  A petty Russian criminal and a sharp-tongued Australian-  a withdrawn dream expert of a scientist and a woman who should have been made of fire and feathers.  At the end of the world it doesn’t pay to be too choosey about your lieutenants.  In a year’s time, with any luck, Katherine and Nightlight will join them.  They’re copper bright and snow blind white when they stand watch on the walls.  They’re the future.  They almost make it look shining.   

It’s in the Out Lands, the yawning mouth of the world outside the safe zone, where the nightmares fester and evolve.  Recon and supply teams bring back rumors of infected survivors who haven’t died.  They’ve changed.  The ghost stories bring whispers of phantoms inside the walls.  Pitch- a shade of a man who makes the dead part around him like a king and his serfs.  And his daughter… she’s alive- but terrifyingly so like a storm front in summer.  Some people say they walk side by side- others mutter that they only way they look at each other is down the barrel of a gun.

There are no shortcuts from point A to point B anymore.  The dogs are always at the door.  Jack knows most people would consider the boy at his side dead weight.  Even now though, he can’t bring himself to do anything less than what’s right. He only hopes he can get Jamie to MiM’s people before his own mutating infection catches up with him.  There’s an unshakeable chill at his core and each passing day makes it harder not to think of it as a clock counting down.  Counting down to an end he can’t see.

"Legendary"

Having fun with a young North ( totally rambling on). Little name tweak, as it probably evolved over time, judging from his origin and how “St-North" sounds so english (I can’t begin to guess what his last name sounded like in his youth).

Harpoon the Moon by Ryan Savas

An unused storyboard for Rise of the Guardians, depicting Pitch harpooning the moon in order to bring perpetual darkness to the earth.

(obviously, Pitch didn’t care about the effect of gravity on the earth)
