   Summary

   Ten years ago, the world almost fell to darkness. With the help of the (now former) boogeyman and his new partner, the Guardians managed to beat back the shadows.

   Like the rest of the Guardians, Bunnymund has since settled into the new peace that the world is in. One night, he comes across a strange person who hands him a powerful time artifact they should not have access to. A few minutes later, the same person helps him out, denying that they handed him anything.

   So begins a story of past denial, future acceptance, and present mistakes.
