Hello everyone. This is my first Adventure Time story that I'm trying out. This story, as said in the summary, is based off of Major144's story Family. I did ask for permission to have it based off of their story and Major144 gave me their permission to do so, and again I am thankful too. I'll provide a link to the story as well

s/10704828/1/Family

I would say check out their story first to get an idea of my story sense it's based off the same universe and it'll help make sense of some of the themes and characters.

Also yes I know this isn't really got much to do about space BUT this is the introduction chapter, my story is basically a story written up by another character like the stories of Aaa from the Ice King so basically this first chapter is just introducing the writer and then we'll get to the actual stories.

Anyways, hope ya'll enjoy the story.

Today was a quiet day within the land of Ooo, not much was going on today other than the normal routines of everyone. However for one person things would be getting a small shake up. Up on top of a hill stood a lone cabin with a flower garden in the back and one person tending to the garden. This person, to anyone who didn't know any better, would believe they had came across the Lich's house. This individual had dried up dead looking skin that had many parts pealed off to show bones and two twisting horns coming form his head, the only difference between this individual and the Lich was the glow in they empty sockets was red instead of green and the cloths was that of a professional gardener; a large straw hat along with a white t-shirt and blue jeans and sneakers to finish it off, unlike the look of an evil king like what the Lich wore. Another thing was nothing was dead around him, in fact everything he was working on was living and blooming nicely.

While he was humming to himself and attending to the garden there would be a presence behind him, to which he sensed and stopped what he was doing and turned around. What he saw was a rather short figure wearing a red cloak and a red and white mask over his face. His white eyes looked over the Lich look a like with a smile. "Hello there, Borag am I correct?" He asked.

The individual now known as Borag simply let out a small growl before responding. "That's me...and I have no business with you." He said.

The figure simply laughed. "Oh, so you know me? Well in truth you do have business with me, for I have business with you." He said stepping forward a bit. "I take it I don't need to introduce myself?"

Borag would glare at the figure saying "Yea...I know who you are. Crimson, follower of the worst parasite this planet has had to endure."

Crimson would shake his head a bit. "Tsk tsk tsk. Is that anyways to talk about your father?" he asked with a smirk.

Borag would clench up his fists a bit, his anger starting to boil as he said "I have no father. I have the unfortunate fate of having some of that thing's DNA but that's as far as that goes." He said spatting out the words with hate. He had his guard up still but he would turn around to go back to the flowers, hoping it would show he had nothing left to talk to with Crimson.

Crimson only smirked, his plan was going well as he would push Borag to the edge, make him show he was like the Lich. "Oh come now, why all the hatred for the master? Was it really that bad?" He asked, knowing full well Borag's history.

After Crimson said what he did, that was the point Borag snapped as his hands erupted into green flames as the ground under him withered and died as he charged at Crimson, he was about to grab Crimson to kill him "That thing Ra-" He yelled out before stopping himself. Borag would glare at Crimson before taking in a few deep breaths and the green flames turned red as he backed away from Crimson. "He hurt my mother...in one of the most terrible ways possible...I have nothing but hatred for that thing you call a master...now be gone with you." He said before turning around to fix the damage he caused.

Crimson huffed a bit. "Such a waste in potential...your father would be able to teach you much if you would let go...but perhaps another time." Crimson would then teleport himself away.

Borag would be waving his glowing red hands over the dead patches he accidentally caused. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to harm any of you..." He said to the flowers as they started coming back to life. "From death comes life...I'll make sure you're protected..." He said, though it was more like an oath to someone else than to his garden.

Another figure would walk up, a woman with two snake heads and a leaf dress as she asked "My son...are you alright? I thought I felt you in distress." She said, worried about her son.

Borag would look up to the woman. "Oh, mother. No, everything's alright...just...some unwelcome guests." He said getting up as he walked over and gave her a hug.

The woman would look to see the dead patches and see how Borag did fixing them as she would return the hug. "I see." She said nodding both her heads. When the two stopped hugging she would walk over and from her hands a green liquid would go over the patches as they instantly healed and became full of life again, quicker than what Borag could have done.

Borag would smile as he said "It's always amazing to see you do that, then again, it's how you got your name Life." He said looking at his own hands, unfortunately for him he had the power of death mixed in with his power of life.

Life would then turn to her son again and said "Don't be so hard on yourself my son, I know you might not see the silver lining yet, but do you remember what I've always said?" She asked.

Borag nodded "That I'm more in-tune to the cycle than most...from life comes death and from death comes life..." He said. "It's just...I have the powers of that...thing...and I don't want them." He said.

Life would walk over and put a hand on his shoulder. "I know it's tough right now my son, but always remember this. You are my boy, and you are a good person. No one can change that about you. I know you have your ups and downs but we all do, as long as you do what's right, and fix the wrongs you might cause, then you already are a better person than the Lich will ever be." She said giving Borag another hug. "Now, I have to head home, make sure everything's in order. But if you ever need to see me, my door's always open." She said, opening up a portal. She would give Borag a kiss on his forehead as she walked through.

Borag would watch his mother leave as he let out a sigh. His garden was back to its healthy self and now he had time for his other hobby. He walked into his cabin and looked through a telescope to all the different kingdoms. He could see just about everywhere in Ooo and even though he never actually talked to anyone, he's heard the Starchy radio broadcasts and read the papers that came around here and there so he had ideas of everyone. Who was good who was bad, and it was just enough to get ideas about his stories. Borag would then look up to the sky with a smile as he then went to a table and pulled a book over, the cover read 'Space Adventures' as he opened it up and grabbed a pencil and an ink pin as he would get started writing down his own stories...stories where he wouldn't be feared but have friends in the land...well, friends in space as his stories would go.
