Literature Text

The Moon had been around as long as the Earth herself. And when humans were quite young, the Moon gave them a gift: dreams. But everything has an opposite and so the Moon had two sons: the Sandman, or Sandy for short, was the elder brother and controlled good dreams; and Pitch Black, the younger brother controlled fear.

For some time, Sandy ruled and the humans were happy, but then came the Dark Ages when Pitch became king. Nearing the Renisance, the Moon chose Guardians to remove his younger son  from the picture: his elder son, Sandy, became the Guardian of Dreams; Toothania became the Guardian of Memories as the Tooth Fairy; Kris “North” Kringle took on the presence of Santa Clause and became the Guardian of Wonder; and E. Aster Bunnymund became the Easter Bunny and Guardian of Hope.

Pitch got cast to the side, but not fully forgotten.

The Moon chose others to receive immortality as well, even if he thought they weren’t ready to become Guardians: Jack Frost, the Groundhog, Cupid, and a little girl with bright red hair. In life, she was an Irish princess, who had always been small for her age. She was very wealthy and quite lucky until she grew ill and died during her teenage years. No body was ever buried as the Moon had awoken her and led her high into the mountains, to a secret grove of green four-leaf clovers and golden seven-leaf clovers.

He instructed her to discriminate who should be lucky and how, and he called her Lucky the Leprechaun. She could not leave the island until it was time for her to become a Guardian.

Many came from here and there as a rumor had begun of a “Leprechaun at the end of the Rainbow with a pot of gold for any who can get there.” Yes, her grove was at the end of the Rainbow, but those were always the greedy men who came, searching for a fortune, and leaving with a seven-leaf golden clover, which was enchanted to bring them financial misery.
