An Adventure Time Story

When the Darkness Begins to Rise

Chapter 1: The Cosmic Compass and Galactic Map

Three months later

Months had pasted, the candy kingdom had been rebuilt, Basilisx, Rosa, and Adam's houses had been built everything seemed to be at peace in Ooo...or so it seemed. Finn had been suffering nightmares that had seemed so real to him He had dreams of fighting Gearhead and was unable to do anything to fight back. Other dreams like all of his friends were against him and tried to kill him. Cryptic dreams of seeing some man in a black hood, and dreams of him losing Seraphina. With each passing dream each one seemed to become more real he didn't understand until one night.

In his dreams

Finn had awoken finding himself outside of a skyscraper, windows had been cracked, parts were missing, and it was very old this could have been before the Mushroom war. Something beckoned him to enter and he did. He was in the man foyer of the place it was very spacious nothing much of interest was there other the rather large fountain that was located in the center of the room. It had a stone sculpture of Glob Gob Grob Grod with water coming out of its hands and mouth. It looked so graceful but Finn couldn't understand by the statue would be placed in an old place like this. He looked into the water of the fountain seeing his reflection.

"Where am I?"

"You are in the hotel of spirits."

Another reflection appeared but still his face was hidden under this white orange flamed hood. He looked up seeing the man that the saw when he was asleep in the Candy Kingdom hospital.

"It's you again I haven't seen you in months."

"Indeed." He jumped down landing in front of Finn. "It has been sometime now hasn't it."

"So what have you come to show me this time?"

"This place not only that but what I must tell you. This place is the sacred grounds of all things in the spiritual plane. You may have been experiencing these strange dreams haven't you."

"Yeah." He then stood up. "Did you make me have those dreams?"

"No. Your father had also experienced these dreams following the events that are now in the heros history books. Your father was one of a kind. It could be possible that there will never be another him."

"Why are you telling me this? Who are you and how do you know my father?"

"I'm sorry Finn. I now you want to know who your father is and how I know you and all this other stuff but I can't tell you. Not yet that is. But I will tell you this, the Lich he's coming for you."

"I should have figured as much."

"Yes, but there is something much more important then him believe it or not."

"And what's that?"

"Sit down I have a story to tell you."

Finn had on the fountain's rim ready to hear this tale of wonder.

"This is a tale of wonder and birth of the two most powerful weapons ever created. Here's how it goes..."

Your father was a boy of many things, he always stuck up for people who had always been picked on a wouldn't fight unless it was his only option. As he grew he still followed this philosophy he always saw the good in people even if they didn't and always gave people a second chance. Even within the events that had accord in the Mushroom war he always saw the brightest side of things. When he traveled into Ooo he helped everyone out. People called him a hero but he never considered himself a hero for he only wanted to help one person the one person who he couldn't help, his friend. With all the things that had accord his heroic actions had even caught the attention of one of the most highest people in the universe, the king of Mars. With the approval of the cosmic owl the king had given him he had given Adan the knowledge of how to create the universes immortal sword, the Valor. Years later Gearhead had risen and he was called upon Lincoln once more. Lincoln feared that Gearhead power would result in the entire universe being thrown into anarchy. He had called upon the cosmos gathering it's powers to create a divine shield that had been blessed upon by the cosmic owl. This shield was known as the Cosmic Shield, a shield said to be able to repeal any and all attacks thrown at it. The Cosmic shield was unbreakable combined with the Valor he would be able to defeat Gearhead. But he didn't want to do that, despite everything Gearhead had done he was still his friend and he couldn't take him out of this world. To ensure that Gearhead wouldn't obtain either weapon he hid them in Ooo. The Valor was kept in a tree so that his son would find it for when Gearhead would return to this world. The Cosmic Shield however, was something he didn't take lightly. He had created a language known as the hero's language, a language that few heros knew and one or two others heard of. He then created a map using the essence of the stars themselves that led to the location of the shield. He then split the map into four pieces spreading them across Ooo. He had then created a compass that was written in the hero's language so that none would be able to understand it. He entrusted the compass to an old friend and told him that one day a boy carrying the Valor would come and seek his help. He knew he could entrust him for he was a vampire but not any vampire, he was Benjamin the Legendary Vampire who had lived for ages. Benjamin has still kept his promise to his friend to this day as he wait's hidden in the shadows for the boy with the Valor to come to him.

"The Cosmic Shield along with the Valor is the blane of evil you must find the compass and then your search for the map pieces will begin."

"But where do I begin?"

"Your search will take you into uncharted waters, search the depths that no one has been to and listen for the song that was long forgotten."

"Come on man can't you just tell me?"

"Sorry I would but atlas I can't. But do not threat I will be following you and your friend along this journey, providing my help to you in your dreams."

"Can't you just visit me when I'm awake?"

"Nope. For I am among the dead. I live in glob world and am free to travel across the spiritual plane has I please." He then stuck out his hands towards Finn. "I'll see you later Finn."

Water from the fountain had surrounded Finn and closed in on him.

He awakes

Finn had awoke the sun shined on his face has he lied in his bed. He didn't know why or how that guys is contacting him thou his dreams all he knows is he knows his father and possibly everything he's done. But he was completely stumped from what the guy told him. 'Your search will take you into uncharted waters, search the depths that no one has been to and listen for the song the song that was long forgotten.' What does that even mean, go underwater,go to places none of us have never been to, or find some old song. None of this made since to him he then sat up in his bed.

"I don't get it none of this makes since." He said to himself. "Maybe I just need some air."

He then got out of bed put his clothes on put on his backpack and grabbed the Valor and headed out the bedroom window and climbed up to ladder to end up on top of the tree house. There he sat gazing at the sunrise looking over the grasslands. Noticing Jake's house nearby, he knew that Basilisx, Rosa, and Adam were living somewhere in the forest their house was like underground and the entrance was hidden in some tree but the place was awesome, and Seraphina had been staying in the Fire Kingdom but she would normally live with him.

"I guess it's time for another adventure." He said to himself smiling as the winds blew his hair in front of him.

And so begins the start of a new journey. Where will the winds of fate take or heros this time and who is this mystery man that knows so much about Finn's father? Review.
