Author's pre-story word: Hello, readers and welcome to my first ever story! Judge me as hard as possible.

A little prologue here:

Finn and Jake were walking throughout the forest, when they saw a man praying near the dead wolf.

Well, the story BEGINS!

"...bro, what have you been doing lately? I haven't been in anti-evil patrol with you for ages!" - The yellow dog, Jake, asked. He and Finn were in anti-evil patrol through the forest near their house. Sometimes robbers, or even murderers were hiding there, so it was necessary to watch for this forest.

"I was on a mission PB gave me. This one was long and boring, duh." - Finn answered.

While they were walking through the forrest, looking in every bush for hiding lawbreaker, they heard loud whispering. Finn looked there, then at Jake. They quietly went to the source of the whispering to the the tall man in a white robe with something written on the collar and sleeves. The man was in front of a dying wolf, who was whining.

Suddenly Finn stepped on a branch, which cracked. The man turned around and saw the adventurers.

That's how the man looked:

He was very tall, at least 1 meter and 85 centimeters, had a long white hair and different eyes. The left one was green, right one was blue.

"Who the hell are you?!" - asked the man loud. "You've interrupted The Ritual! Now the wolf will die in misery!" Then he said in a much more darker tone: "Now run, or you'll be the food for the creatures of night."

So Finn and Jake ran away from a man. They were running until they were in their house with locked doors.

"Holy cow, what an insane man!" - Jake said. "Who do you think he was?"

"I have no idea, bro. But the word "ritual" makes me think he is some kind of insane cultists, living in a dark forest not so far from here. But I don't know anyone, who is doing rituals with wolves. We should better ask Bubblegum. She knows everything, she will help us." - said Finn. Then he and his brother went to the Candy Kingdom.

A little time later, in the Candy Castle.

"...so, cultists, making rituals with the wolves? Interesting, I've never heard of any cultist doing thing like that. But I have a book with all cultists before and after the Great Mushroom War. But, how he looked like?" - PB asked, walking with Finn and Jake to the library.

"He looked like human before the war. He worn a white robe with something written on his collar and sleeves." — Finn said.

"Well, I've read about them a few years ago, but I don't clearly remember. Let's look in this book!" — PB said, pulling out the old book. It's title was "Religions and Cults."

"Wolf, wolf... Nothing!" — PB said frustrated. "But I know someone who definitely know everything about wolves!"

"Marceline?" — Finn asked.

"Yes! Let's go to her place and find out about wolf worshippers as much as we can!" — PB said.

Some time later.

"Hey Marceline, are you home?" — Finn shouted. Marceline answered, and the company entered her house. Marceline was eating a bowl of strawberries, flying above her red couch.

"Hey, guys. What's the matter? I see you're gonna ask somethn serious, right?" — She asked. Finn told her the story of a man in the forest.

"Well, I know something about him. But I can't believe he's alive! Last time I've seen him dying with a knife in the chest." — Marceline said. "So, listen..."

Eight centuries ago. The Mushroom War ended, but the world hasn't transformated into Land of Ooo yet.

Young Marceline and Simon were walking through the forest, when they saw strange people in robes. Most of them wore grey ones, while one of them, the head of them, wore white one with something written on collar and sleeves. They were walking straight to Marceline and Simon, while they were hiding in a bush.

"Come out, we know you are there. You've crossed the territory of Wolves! You cannot be here, so pray or be the prey!" — The Head said loud. "Prepare to be burried!"

Marceline and Simon quickly ran from their positions. They've heard gunshots from behind. Some of the men pulled pistols out of their robes. The Head just watched.

"You can't ran away! If you won't stop, we will call wolves, so you will be eaten alive! Do you want to be food? I think you prefer dying by bullet, not by beast!" — The Head said loud.

Simon took his crown and prepared to put it on his white head, but young Marceline stopped him.

"Don't wear it, I will lose you!" — Marceline cried.

"I have no choice, my dear. Otherwise, we'll both get killed." — Simon said. "Don't matter if they're lying about wolves. Even if they not, it will be to late. So run. If I will not go insane, I'll find you. Keep moving south!" Simon added, then kissed Marceline's forehead and put on his crown. "RUN!" — Simon shouted, so Marceline ran.

She ran to the nearest hill. She could see the battle down below without being seen herself.

Simon created Ice Sword and Ice Knife out of nowhere. Three men were already lying dead, while the last grey and white stood with guns. Simon shot an Ice Bolt, so the last gray man was killed. The Head was still alive.

"Even if you killed my men, you won't get out of here alive!" — The Head shouted. He pulled a long white sword out of his robe, then hid the gun. He and Simon were fighting hard. They both were trained well, so there was not a single cut on anyone's body. Sparks were flying around, clashes could be heard clearly.

Suddenly, the man pulled out pistol and shot. He shot right into Simon's heart. He staggered, then leaped and stabbed the heart of The Head, then they both fell. Simon evaporated, living Ice Sword on the ground and a knife in the man's body.

"...so I thought Simon was dead, until I saw Ice Kingdom creation. Then I found out that Simon became the Ice King..." — Marceline ended her story.

"Marceline, what was written on The Head's robe?" — Princess Bubblegum asked.

"Nothing interesting. You've came here only to ask me this question? Do you know haow hard it was for me to accept, that I can no longer see Simon again?! Please, get out of my house..." — Marceline said, threw a piece of paper to PB, then went up to her room. Some minutes after sobbing could be heard.

PB, Finn and Jake left the house. Bubblegum went back to her Castle, while Finn and Jake went home.

Half an hour later, at the Tree House.

"Jake, I think we pissed her of..." — Finn said, frustrated.

"Nah, she'll get over it. Bad memories is always hard to accept." — said Jake. "But let's look what's written on the piece of paper."

Finn pulled out paper out of his backpack, and they looked it.

Et gloriam meam in lupum
Non tradent in lupum
Et luna in sanguinem, et resurgere

"What is this?" — Finn asked. "That's the only thing we found, getting Marceline angry at us? What's the translation of this?"

"It seems, it something latin." — Jake said. "Of jeeze, what a nasty overreligious words! "Hail to the wolf, Don't betray the wolf, The bloody moon will rise again." That's shit!"

"Maybe we should better go sleep, Jake. Tomorrow we should visit and apologize for what we made Marceline say, then kill this monster, who turned a good man into crazy Ice King!"

"You're right, homie. Good night, Finn!" — Jake said and went to his wardrobe bed.

Author's after-chapter words: So, people, do you like the beggining of my story? Shall I continue it?

And thanks to good Heavy Metal group "Powerwolf," expecially to the album "Lupus Dei," which gave me inspiration!
