Yay! more FP/ Finn. I'm so glad to see other stories beginning to surface :'D
Meanwhile I'll write more.
Finn ran with all his might down the mountainous region that bordered the Flame Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom. Pass flaming trees and lava filled rocks ready to burst at any moment. Skidding down a slope, he braced his lags to dig into the soil to stopped himself from careening off the cliff at the end. He stopped just before the edge of the treacherous drop. Catching his breath he looked out, the Ice Kingdom was in sight, he could just make it. The protection ward was fading fast, he could feel the heat of the the fiery world lick at his exposed skin and seep through the sole of his boots.
His blue eyes darted around, looking for the fastest route down the cliff side. Howls interrupted his thoughts. The fire wolves were gaining on him. Seeing no quick solution, he flung himself off the cliff as the fastest wolf in the pack was closing in. Righting himself midair, he drew his demon blood sword and dug it into the cliff face the moment is was halfway down the drop. The soft soil gave way as the blade when through. Finn watched as lava oozed out of the wound he was inflicting on the landscape, he thanked his dad for giving the enchanted blade. As the bottom of the cliff side closed in, the bear hatted boy yanked the sword from the ground using the force to back flip and land on the ground safely.
In flash he was up and running again. His right knee slightly burnt from the landing. If he didn't make it to the ice kingdom soon, he would be literally toast. The flames of the forest began dying down the closer he got to the border. Ahead of him he could see the charred trunks of trees that have been cooled but the winds of the ice kingdom. 'Thank glob. I'm going to make it.'
Safety ahead didn't give much assurance though, turning back he saw no sign of the fire wolves but they were the least of his worries. He had just happened to run into the pack while making his way down the mountain. As much as he would have loved to prove his worth and have a scrap with the canines, Finn had to run. The blue glow in his vision got lighter with each second of the ward fading. He had no time to waste.
He passed a few frost bitten trees as the ward wore of. 'I made it!' He slowed his pace but kept running nontheless. He wasn't in the Ice Kingdom yet. 'Just a bit more.' That was went he felt the heat licking at his back, with pure instinct he dived to the right of him, rolling until he slammed into a tree.
"What the glob man! You are trying to kill me!" Finn yelled.
"Prince Finn, I was only aiming to immobilized you." replied the attacker mildly stunned.
"Thats not any better!" The blond yelled getting up. He hat had slipped off and long golden locks were spilling all over the place.
"I must say you do look rather fetching without your hat. It's no wonder my flamebits brought you to me as a princess."Flaming hair blazing brighter in excitement of the new discovery.
Finn gapped in horror. Why he kept his hair long was his own business and he didn't liked to be judged for it. "Dude whatev's. I've already won." backing away slowly, tensing his muscles to make the final dash to the Ice Kingdom.
"I'm afraid not. The deal was for you to make it to the Ice Kingdom before I could catch you and you have yet to reach." Finn eyed the Flame Prince with his lips pursed into a discontented line. The boy was about his age yet he was almost a head taller, broader in build with some muscle tone. Finn watched as he lowered his flames to land on the ground close by. The moment the prince's feet touched the ground, Finn was off.
He didn't make it far though as a wall of fire shot up in front of him. As he turn, another, and another. Looking around he let out an agitated growl, he was trapped in a tall ring of fire. Drawing his sword he began slashing at the flames to hopefully make a path through the heat. Suddenly, the flames grew and closed in on the hero, the temperature spiking exponentially.
"STOP THAT!" yelled the Prince, his appearance had changed. Finn look horrified at the angry eyes in the giant flame, searing white flames made up the eyes and mouth of the creature. "YOU HAVE LOST, PRINCE FINN OF THE GRASSLANDS! ACCEPT YOUR DEFEAT!" The flames inched ever closer, without the protection ward Finn knew he wouldn't hold out too long. Sucking in what little air was available in the centre of the flame ring Finn gritted his teeth and replied, "Fine dude! I'll go out with you!"
Upon hearing that, the flames retreated back to Flame Prince's body as he returned to his humanoid form, cheeks stained with blush. Finn stared in shock as the realization that the flames the prince emitted were a part of his body. He wanted to apologize but before he could a punch landed square into his jaw. "And that is for trying to break our deal."
Finn held his jaw, a mild burn making the skin sore against his touch, cheeks red, eyes wide he looked over the Prince once again. 'What have I gotten into!'
