Finn the Human has always been the epitome of a good person. However after an encounter with the Magic Man, Finn realizes even good people fall into bad habits. His friends realize only too late what has happened and aren't sure what to do about Finn's new attitude.
Finn was running through the forest, inspecting the tree tops carefully. His breath grew heavy as he continued his search, tired from the heat and activity. His blond hair stuck against his scalp underneath his hat thanks to a thick coat of sweat. His clothes were in the same condition. Finn and Jake had seen the Magic Man somewhere along the way between the tree house and the Candy Kingdom and took chase into the forest. Unfortunately since the Magic Man never plays fair he suddenly sprung up into the thick leaves, hiding himself from view. The two had split up, deciding it would be easier to find him that way.
"Magic Man, get down here and fight me you big butt!" Finn cried out frustrated as he pulled out his demon sword. The sun's rays that had managed to make its way through the foliage shined off of the blood red blade as he swung it back and forth in search of the Magic Man.
"I have done no wrong Finn the Human." The soft tenor voice echoed throughout the forest, preventing Finn from finding where the man was really hiding. Finn's face grew red with anger, quite taken aback by the Magic Man's innocent facade. Was he serious?
"Done no wrong? You almost got my brother killed! You make people miserable for no good reason. No one wants you around, dude! You are just a bad guy." There was a slight pause before the concealed figure decided to defend himself from the hero's harsh words.
"Society has made me this way. It's not in my nature."
"Yeah right! Get down here and fight me!" Instead of coming out of the trees and fighting like Finn had wanted, the Magic Man continued to peer down at the human boy with deep interest. He was so good. He was righteous, generous, helpful…
A mischievous grin spread across the Magic Man's hidden face when a dreadful idea popped into his head. He spoke in a hushed tone, but loud enough for Finn to hear from the ground below. The forest grew unnaturally quiet, as if every living thing there wanted to hear what the man had to say.
"I once was good as you are now,
Now you act 'Holier than thou',
My actions have turned me from pure of heart,
Now my pure heart is torn apart,
Perhaps some sin will do you good,
So I am no longer misunderstood."
A gust of wind shook the branches and a small puff of purple smoke was carried off into the distance, far away from the confused human boy.
"Magic Man, what the fudge did you do?" Finn cried but the Magic Man was already long gone. A strange feeling started forming in his chest, but he thought nothing of it. Slowly Finn sheathed his sword and went in search of his brother Jake.
MMH: What? A new story? A'ight ya caught me, I needed something easy to do now that school is coming up (I move in Saturday) and a short story is easy. It'll probably be at most ten chapters. What do you think? Let me know in a review. Favorite if you like it so far!
