Finn Opens his eyes as the Sun shines down upon his room. He sits up slowly , gaining his
bearings.
Welcome to the land of OOO two years after the defeat of GOLB and the Gumbaldian War. The land of OOO hums no lick of terror, although the occasional threat occurs every once in awhile.
No Matter though as the land of OOO still holds a hero of incredible skill…Finn the Human.
The door to the bathroom opens as Finn walks in, he turns on the shower as he washes his face with cold water. He looks up seeing the reflection of a irretrievable man staring back at him. He closes his eyes, turning to the shower as he feels the steam leading out of the shower hit his face.
Just another day to live through, maybe something exciting will happen. He thought to himself
As the two years passed by Finn so did the people he loved. Jake was constantly in and out of the tree house hoping between Lady Rainicorn and Finn. It was only a matter of time until Jake would give in and move in with lady. Finn didn't think much of himself anymore, however he still had purpose in life. No matter how petty it all seemed at this point. A job was still a job. Finn was alone and he had come to terms with it. Huntress Wizard abandoned him not long after the war. Flame princess stopped nearly all forms of communication, PB seemed to only want to speak with him if it at least involved some form of work and Marceline...Marceline was even worth mentioning in his mind.
He slides the curtains to the side as he steps out of the shower. The air hits his skin, he begins to feel the pins run through his body as the bitter cold took the place of the warmth. Grabbing a towel from the rack he dries off trying to avoid the mirror to the best of his ability as he did so. Finn heads out for his day briefly looking back at his reflection before turning and leaving. Heading over to beneath his bed to gather his things for the day. As he goes to reach for his clothes he faceplants upon the floor.
OW! It's going to be hard getting use to one arm again. He Thought
Finn had recently outgrown his robotic arm he had installed nearly 3 years ago; PB had promised recently to make him a new one. Time did fly for him. He had grown taller and had become far more athletic. Maturity had turned a once foolish child into something more with only a few years difference.
Finn gathered his equipment for the day. As he climbed down the ladder he could hear Jake start to sing a tune he usually sings when Jake is making "Bacon Pancakes…" Finn reaches the bottom only to see nobody. The stove was off, BMO was still asleep, other than Finn the house laid silent. The loneliness had gotten to Finn sometimes and this was one of those occasions. He quickly roasts a pair of eggs and devouring them in a swift motion. Once finished he sat there staring at his plate looking at the muddied reflection staring back.
Quit...Quit looking at me! Finn angrily thought
As the plate hurdled to wall, smashing into fragments. Getting up and leaving the mess and waking BMO in the process. He left the tree house as headed towards the candy kingdom. As Finn struts towards kingdom he notices a passerby draped in a cloak spouting absolute nonsense. "The sky speaks mountains to the dirt and hole blows it's music so." The figure froze as it spotter Finn it raises its hand pricking a single finger toward Finn as it continued to talk "The Lich...The Lich smells you….He smells the fear...the weakness...H...He is returning. The Lich is Returning! He Will Return with an army!" The figure then turned its head towards the grass to then kneel placing its hands gentles atop the grass as it says "Grass is soft like the winds are brisk" The figure began to rub its face atop the blades of grass. All Finn could simply do at this time was watch and listen to the absurdity that was the mysterious figure. As the figure continued to rub its face upon the green blades, Finn side-steps and continues his stretch towards the Candy Kingdom.
The Hell was that guy's issue? Odd though the fact that guy would mention the Lich, the only remains of the lich lie within Sweetpea, but I doubt he would cause any… His Train of thought halted as he stood at the entrance of the Candy Castle.
He looked up the walls of the castle and began his trek in. As Finn walked deeper into the castle he began to hear yelling omit from the living quarters. The voices begin to increase in magnitude as he became ever so closer to PB's living space.
Oh, no then this means that… Finn began to think
Marceline barges out of the room yelling "Seriously Bubblegum!?!" "I feels it's only fair Marce." PB replied. "You think that is fair? IT'S MY HOUSE!" Marceline exclaimed. "A house that is under candy law no less." PB interjected. "You are ridiculous!" Marceline turns to see Finn who was seeing current situation unfold. They lock eyes for a moment before she grabbed her umbrella and headed off.
As Marceline flies away she thinks to herself
Why couldn't it have just worked, dammit!
Marceline began to tear up. She continued to think
I feel so ashamed, I feel wasted
She continued to hover above the kingdom toward her cave.
Finn continued to watch Marceline fly away until PB waved for his attention as she began to approach her throne room with Finn following suit. "Hello Finn, I apologize for the comotion you had to see" "I...It's fine PB Its truly none of my concern." Finn Replied. "Thanks for understanding Finn" PB Continued with. They enter the throne room until stopping once reaching PB's throne seat. She grabs two rings placed atop the left of arm of the chair. She holds them within her hands almost cuddling them as she smiles and slowly begins to have tear well up within her eyes. She turns and drops the rings within Finn's hand. She stares at the rings as they rest with Finn's hands. She looks to finn as the tears roll down her face. "I…...I….I would like….y...you to de..d...destroy these fin.." she pushes out of her throat. " I will princess" he says reassuringly. He turns around and leaves. Leaving PB to cry alone.
