This is an experiment. I've never written fantasy before, so I thought I'd give it a shot. This is rated M for torture, cursing and sex in later chapters.

This first chapter is from near the end. Chapter two will make it clear.

CHAPTER ONE: THE BITE OF THE AXE

My chin met the chopping block rather harshly. I couldn't see anything except the sunlight filtered through the black cloth bag over my head. So my chin smashed into the block rather than just touching it. The block was warm. I wondered if that was from another's blood or from the bright sunshine. It had been so sunny and warm that spring morning. I wondered why I had to be executed on such a nice day. Then I heard something over the crowd.

"I'm so sorry, Florence!" It was Finn.

"It's okay, Finn!" I yelled back, letting the tears run down my face. I lost all sense of pride and just wished to live. I breathed the heavy air in the bag, feeling vomit threaten. I waited for the sharp bite of the executioner's axe. I could almost feel it hovering over me. Of course I couldn't, but my imagination was running wild. I could feel the smile, the course beard hair, the stinking breath of the executioner inside my head. I could see him staring at me with sparkling eyes, wanting my death just as much as I didn't want it.

My tears stuck the filth of the bag to my cheeks. My throat felt as if it was filled with glue. My heart beat faster and faster with each passing moment. Any moment, the bite of the axe, any moment, the bite of the axe, any moment, the bite of the axe…

"BUBBLEGUM! I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!" Finn screamed. "BUBBLEGUM LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ALL OF US! EVERYONE! YOUR QUEEN HAS BETRAYED YOU, MADE SLAVES OF YOU, KILLED YOU! DON'T BE LIKE ME. FIGHT! FIGHT! FI-"

My stomach heaved and I vomited into the cloth bag. Tears uncontrollable. I knew this day had been coming since I met Finn the Human, but I didn't expect it so soon. I thought back to that first day with Finn and waited for the bite of the axe. Any moment… Any moment… Any moment…
