So, this one is definitely dark. Really dark.
Chapter 1. The Way Of The Rope
With each single breathe, I pray for death
I curse my day of birth, I hate this stinking earth
I walk the path of self-destruction…
Finn looked at himself in the mirror. He is 18 now, today is his birthday. And today, he will spend it alone. His last day on this earth. Today, Finn chosen to die. He was not afraid. He has lost everything he has: Jake died nearly year ago, when they were on their quest to finally destroy Lich. Finn managed to survive this day, and bring final blow to the Lich, sending him in the oblivion. But his friend has died from evil magic, and there was nothing that living Finn could do for him. Lady Rainicorn told him nothing, when he delivered this news. But this was the last time he have ever seen her. And something nearly three months ago Princess Bubblegum was killed in her castle, right on the one of the parties. Real target was Marceline, but Princess managed to see the enemy and jumped between them. Finn has tracked killer down and punished him, but PB was dead. For these three months, no one was even talking to him, except one particular person. He have remembered their dialogue:
- I can see you sad because you were unable to save your friends, - stranger talk to him on the graveyard, where he was sitting on his knees and looking on the grave. –But I have got a way for you, - Finn looked at the person. Stranger just threw an amulet to him and left.
Just like your worthless kind, I too was blind
But now that I'm awake, this world fills me with hate
I've cast aside all false illusions
Amulet was alive, and lead Finn to the secrets of resurrection. It was simple: you need to enter the realm of Death, and get souls of dead back. The only problem is, that you shall pay for them with some other souls. The only way not to pay – is walking inside by a certain way. He spent a lot of time in libraries of PB and others; he talked with many persons, to which amulet with an eye lead him. And he finally has got all together.
No more a servant nor a puppet on strings
The time has come for rebellion
This burden has for far too long weighed heavy on me
Release my soul through a rope and a tree
It was not too difficult; the way was called "The way of the rope", and it could only be used by human. The only problem is that only a certain type of the rope and a tree was suitable. Plus, you shall make a grave for yourself under the tree with the tombstone on it and make a doll of yourself to bury inside of it. The doll he get from one of the princesses, which she was eager to make for the hero of Ooo. What is for the rope and tree, he spent two months looking for suitable ones. And he just finished making the tombstone. Everything was ready to start one of his darkest adventures…
With each step of mine, I cross the line
Into where light is dark, and death is the spark
That ignites my satisfaction
Finn finally managed to get the tombstone out of his house and load it on some kind of cart that he made. His way was long, so he kept thinking about what have he already done. In fact, he has talked with a few elder beings of Nightosphere (amulet make them to tell), with a crooked witch in the further lands, and finally with the ruler of kingdom of Eternal Peace. Their answers set him on the right path. On his way to the tree he thought about Marceline all of a sudden: he hasn't seen her from the time of the party. -Well, I hope he won't come to me or my home today, - Finn sighed.
[Chorus]
Dark is the path that I wander
I curse your prophets, these proclaimers of hope
My mind is set, I am finally free
I shun this mortal coil and choose the way of the rope
Finn got on the place just in time: sun only started its way down. He has placed the tombstone on place and started to dig. It has taken all day for him; when he thrown the last piece of dirt and placed doll in the grave, sun has finally gone. Then Finn got on the tree and started to entwine the rope around thickest branch he have managed to find…
On this my final day, I walk away
My body hanging cold
All hail the gallows's pole
The rope entwined brings me salvation
Finn finally made a loop. Then he got on chair and wore loop on his neck. – It is for good – he told to himself and let himself fall from the chair…
For the eternal sleep I hunger
This existence I can no longer cope
It's time to exit, I shall cease to breathe
With a snare around my neck I walk the way of the rope
Dark is the path that I wander
I curse your prophets, these proclaimers of hope
My mind is set, I am finally free
I shun this mortal coil and choose the way of the ropeNo more a servant nor a puppet on strings
The time has come for rebellion
This burden has for far too long weighed heavy on me
Release my soul through a rope and a tree
But for the eternal black and tranquility
For a cold dark place where life is not
And a shallow grace where I shall rot…
Well, this one will be definitely dark. It will have a different song for each part, so… It will be much more interesting. Stay tuned and review it!
