"Hey, Prubs. What are we waiting for again? I'm kinda getting bored," said Finn, playing with the sand in his hands. "And my hands are starting to get really dry."

"Not too long now," she said, "He should be here soon!"

"Who is this mysterious guy any way, PB?" Asked the shrunken Jake, fighting off a sea-crab with a stick.

She started to smile, "Just an old friend of mine," she replied.

A beaming, phantasmal light started erupting from the water, just off the shore. "Here he comes!" she said, smiling happily.

The light was blinding, and beautiful, from it's wake rose a large, ghostly looking door. The door began to open with a bright, white light protruding from it. From the light, came forth a man in a set of lightly plated, but mostly leather armour. He is a rather tall man, standing at roughly 6'5'' with a strong, heavily scarred muscular frame. He wore a long black cape with a hood strewn over his head.

He walked towards the group of people waiting for his arrival. "Maurice! It's been so long!" yelled PB, as she went to hug Maurice.

He embraced the hug, "Yes, it has, Bonnibel." he replied.

Jake stretched around the two, "Sup, dude. I'm, Jake the Dog, and that's my buddy, Finn," Finn waved with a warm smile, as he was introduced.

"Greetings, I am the Hunter, Maurice."

"Man! You've got such a sweet sword!"

"Thank you, Jake. Take it for a spin, why don't you?" replied Maurice, unsheathing the blade, and tossing it towards Jake.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" he cheered, swinging the sword around, chopping at the air.

Finn ran over to Jake, "Hey, man. No fair! Let me have a turn," he said, trying to grab the sword from his friend.

"Let's go back to the Candy Kingdom first," said, Princess Bubblegum making her way off the sand.

"Okay," replied Finn & Jake, returning the sword to Maurice.

The group began making their way back to the Candy Kingdom.

"So, where exactly are you from again, Maurice?" asked Finn in an inquisitive tone.

"Haha, now that's a good question. I don't think it matters, though."

"Aw, man! Come on,"

"Well, I come from a land quite different from this one. It is plagued with an on-going war."

"Wow, I-I'm sorry..."

"Do not apologise, it is not your fault."

"I guess..."

They came to the bridge, that connects the Cotton Candy Forest, to the Candy Kingdom. The group crossed the mote, awaking the Gum-ball Guardians.

"Evil presence detected! Halt, wraith! You're prohibited from entering the Candy Kingdom," said one of the Guardians, picking Maurice up and placing him in the palm of their hand.

"PB, stop them!" yelled Finn frantically.

"Yeah, come on, PB I don't think he'll last," added Jake, stretching up towards the Guardian.

Cuffing her hands around her mouth she yelled, "Jeez, guys! Just put him down, he visits every century, sheesh."

"We are sorry, Mother!" replied the two Guardians, in shame.

"That's some defence there, Bonnibel!" exclaimed Maurice with a smile.

She giggled, "Hah, I know right, wait till they hit you with the sleeping gas!" she claimed, smiling back.

Man, who is this guy? And, why is he so snug with PB. Heck, why do I even care? Finn thought to himself.

"...So, what have you been up to lately, Maurice?" asked PB, as the group made their way towards the castle.

"Oh, well, you know me, just trying to get by another day, and I'm happy doing so..."

"How about yourself, Bonnibel?"

"I'm still running the kingdom, as you can see. Though, I've lightened up a bit, less things bother me I guess..."

"That's good! I'm glad, it was always worrying knowing how stressed you can get."

"Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better, less stressed out y'know," she replied, as a blue wizard with a long, white beard flown over the group.

"Hey, guys! Whatcha doing, and who's the new guy?" asked the Ice King, landing next to the group."

"Yo, Ice king."

"Sup, man." said Finn, and Jake, waving.

"I'm Maurice, friend of the Princess. Nice to meet you," he said, extending his hand for a hand-shake.

"Hey, dude. I'm the Ice King. Ohhhhh, nice sword!" said the Ice King, ignoring the gesture, and reaching towards the sheathed blade on Maurices' back.

Jake slapped his hand away, "Hey, man! Leave the guys' sword alone, I'm sure he doesn't want you touchin' it."

"Ouch, ow! You didn't have to hit me so hard," he whimpered, sucking on his hand to numb the pain.

This land, and these people are quite strange. I wonder what they'd say if they lived where I did... Maurice thought to himself.

A loud bang went off in the distance, it sounded as if it was outside of the kingdom walls.

"Did you guys' hear that?" asked Maurice, looking around in curiosity.

Jake nodded in agreement, "Hey, Finn, did you hear that, man?"

Finn nodded with a blank impression, just as the short, fine dressed butler came running through.

"P-princess!" he yelled, panting from the lack of oxygen.

"What is it!" she yelled, as the worry increased from the panic of her citizens.

"A-a portal opened just outside of the kingdom walls, and demons are pouring out of it!" he yelled, after catching his breath.

Her face went red, not in embarrassment but in anger, "What!?" she yelled, "Okay... Just, get all the candy citizens into the castle, they'll be safe in there, if they end up breaking down the walls."

"They won't, Princess. We'll make sure of it!" said Finn, gripping his sword, and his bro, tightly.

"Yes, Bonnibel. I'll go, too." stated Maurice, unsheathing his longsword.

She looked pleased with the heroes, "Thank you, all o-." she was interrupted by a certain, lonely Ice king.

"I'll go, too, Bonnie" he said, snickering to himself.

"No. Just call me Princess." she said angrily.

"Okay, 'call me princess'." he said, winking and laughing.

Uggghhhhh. Thought PB, trying to hide her disgust.

"Well, hop on then," Jake said, growing larger and forming steps allowing access to the top of his back.

Maurice looked at Jake, "I can find my own way. Thank you, though." he said, kindly declining the offer.

He ran up the side of a candy house, and jumped from roof, to roof. He came to the wall of the kingdom, and scaled it with ease. Once he got to the top, he could see the lay of the land. He stared out at the wonderful, and beautiful place.

"Demons, eh? Haven't heard of them in quite a while," he said to himself.

Just on a hill, not too far away from the kingdoms' gates'. There floated the dark, red gate spewing out demons' in every direction. Maurice stood up, from his crouch-like state, and as he did, his body took on the form of a ghost, a wraith. He took the ghastly bow that was sheathed upon his back, and aimed it towards one of the demons running towards the kingdom.

He blinked to the demon, and with a swift movement, knocked it to the ground, flat on it's back. He then wielded his dagger, and stabbed it multiple times in the head, and body, destroying it's very life essence.

He caught three more demons off-guard, assassinating one brutally, while also being able to parry the others afterwards. He then began to take advantage of them being dazed from being parried, allowing him to easily slice through the demons, with little to no effort.

One large demon was left, this one was bigger than any other that came before. Maurice ran beneath him, slicing at his feet until he fell to his knees. He then jumped up onto his head, then placed his right arm on his temple, "Surrender your mind!" he yelled, as his wraith counter-part tore apart the demons' mind, this made the demons' eyes' explode in a bright white light.

He sheathed his blade upon his back, and began to laugh quietly, "Man, I haven't fought demons in too long!"

"Oh, shoot!"

He ran over to the portal, assumed the full-form of his wraith counter-part, and chanted words as his eyes began to glow. Moments after, the portal had been shut, and the land saved.

He turned and saw Finn, and Jake, standing their in awe, "Man, how did you do that? That was some mad, funky biz!"

"Yeah, bro, that was awesome!" yelled Finn, excitedly.

"Oh, you mean this?" he asked, as his body began to become transparent, with a faint blue glow coming off it.

His voice changed also, along with his face structure, build, and hair.

"Hello, I am Leoran," he said, in a deeper, huskier voice.

"Uh, h-hey, man. W-where's, Maurice?" asked Jake, subtly freaking out.

He changed back into himself, "I'm right here, Jake, don't worry, that's just, Leoran, he's the wraith that chose me upon death, and he's also the reason I am deathless,"

"Wait, you're deathless? What does that even mean..." asked Finn, in shock by what he had just been told.

Maurice looked at him, "Well, technically speaking, I cannot die. But, it does have different rules in different dimensions, take yours' for example, if I die here, there's no telling what could happen, maybe I'll come back to life, or maybe my body will just turn to dust."

Leoran materialised next to Maurice, "Maurice, you know you cannot reside here for long," he said.

"Yes, I know, just a while longer, I'm enjoying it here,"

"Just make sure you aren't killed while here, we still have no idea what will happen, to either of us!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

"Uh, who're you talking to?" asked Jake, scratching his head and looking around.

"Oh, don't worry, aha." replied Maurice.

"Let's not keep, Bonnibel waiting!" he said, as he started running towards the kingdom walls'.

He scaled them once again with ease, but this time taking a seat at the top, and peering off into the fading sunset. "This place is beautiful, it's different, I wish I could stay here, foreve-" he was cut-off by Leoran.

"Maurice, you know you cannot stay here! Get those ridiculous notions out of your head, we have business back home, and you know that!" he yelled, trying to prove his point to Maurice.

Maurice sighed as he looked at his ghostly companion, "Yes, I understand that, Leoran. I was just thinking to myself,"

"Okay, then, I apologise for raising my voice, I just tho-"

"It's fine, Leoran, I know you meant no harm," he said with a smile.

He stood up, turned around, and ran straight off of the wall, landing on the ground with no physical harm to him.

"You've still got it, Maurice." said the Princess, extending her hand for a high-five.

"You know it!" he replied, as he returned the high-five.

The sky darkened, as the sun disappeared from sight, with the moon taking it's place. It was a peaceful night, the stars were out, and the moon was full. Maurice has always loved the night, it made him feel relieved, and alive, so to speak.

"So, what're you up to tonight, Bonni?" asked Maurice, turning to look at the Princess.

"The usual, sitting in my lab, ruling the kingdom, eh," she replied with a sigh.

"Sounds fun!" he said sarcastically, with a slight giggle.

"Oh please,"

"Oh, and you're welcome to stay in the castle, Maurice, if you're in need of a place to stay," she said with a smile.

"Thank you, again, Bonnibel," he replied with a soft smile.

Out of the blue, the two adventurers' dropped in front of Maurice, and the Princess. They were laughing, and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Finn stood up, and brushed the dirt off of his clothes, "Hey, guys."

"Yo, yo, yo!" Jake said, greeting the two.

"Greetings,"

"Sup, dudes," replied Maurice, and PB.

Leoran began to materialise, "Maurice, we must be going."

"Okay, okay, let me just say goodbye," he replied with a sigh.

"It was really nice seeing you, Bonnibel, and it was really good meeting you two, Finn and, Jake,"

"I must be going now, which is a real bummer," he said with a sad look in his eye.

The Princess jumped into Maurices' arms' for a hug, "Thank you for coming, it was great seeing you again, Maurice. It always is," she said with a tear falling from her eye.

"Yeah, man, it was really great meeting another adventurer!" said Finn with a righteous tone.

"Man, you're a really cool dude, you gotta come around more often," said Jake with a warm smile.

Maurice left the Candy Kingdom and started making his way towards the shores. Maurice was walking nonchalantly, it seemed as if he was purposely trying to take his time.

"Man, what if he hears us?" whispered Jake to Finn, as they hid behind a tall oak tree.

"Well, then stop talking!" he whispered in reply.

"We really shouldn't be doing this, remember what he did to that demon!" he whispered, "I'm not about to 'surrender myself'!"

"Well, you thought it was a good idea, too, and I mean, he'll probably let us come, why not y'know?" he whispered back.

"Yeah, well I guess,"

"You two may as well come out from behind there, I'm not stupid, you know," said Maurice, as he popped his head out from the other side of the tree.

The two jumped in fright, "Man, don't do that, you almost gave me a heart attack!" yelled Jake as he regained his footing.

"Haha, good one, bro!" laughed Finn trying to play off the fact he was scared.

"So, what's this 'let us come,' business about?" he asked with a grin.

"Uhh, w-we were wondering..." stuttered Finn, as he knocked Jake with his shoulder. "We were going to ask if we could come with you, to like, wherever you're from," he asked with a smile.

He looked at them with a blank expression, "You do realise, if you are to come with me, you'll never see this place again!" he bellowed.

Their jaws dropped, "Wait, never?" asked Jake trying to grasp the concept.

"Nah, I'm just kidding!" he said with a laugh, as he slapped Jake on the back.

"You're savage," said Finn with a blush.

"So, can we come?" asked Jake.

"Sure, but you'll probably be there from five, to six months," he stated trying to reassure the two, "The reason why you'll have to stay there for a semi-long period of time is because, I need time to recuperate and regain my power, I lose a lot of it travelling to, and fro between our dimensions."

"Yeah, cool!" yelled Finn. "That's not even long," replied Jake smiling widely.

"Then let us go!" said Maurice, returning to the path.
