985 Years Ago
Marceline now eighteen years old has been wondering thsupplies just to survive. She still kept Hambo close to her person and hoped never to lose him. She hadn't eaten in days and was very hungry. Somehow she was just happy to see the sun every morning, but was unhappy to see coulda coming her way. The rain had be very poisonous to her and she avoided it all cost se running as fast as she could to avoid it.
Hiding in an old house she searched for even the smallest amount of food that could be spoiled. She found only bottles of of old glass cleaning products and a bunch of gallon containers of glue. Though she found nothing she decided to stay. The rain outside seemed acidic to her so she had no choice, but to stay.
The house seemed to be in pretty good shape, as if there was someone still living their. Though that was very doubtful, because of her not seeing anyone else for years. With Hambo in her arms she eventually fell asleep. She was awakened hours later by a loud noise.
Quickly she hid under a couch. She imagined that it might be a mutant that was still roaming around. Though she could hear the floors creak she couldn't see anyone. Before she could speculate what was in the house she was grabbed from underneath the couch and brought face to face with a strange man.
"Please don't kill me!" Marceline begged of him. The man smelled the air around them. He then placed Marceline onto the couch.
"What is you name?" He asked her calmly.
"Marceline" she said softly trying as hard as she could to not make him angry.
He left the room. For some reason Marceline thought about staying. The man that Marceline encountered came back with a bowl with a spoon and a glass for what she assumed to be water, then placed it in front of her.
"Eat up sweetheart" he said "you don't look like you have eaten in weeks."
Marceline didn't hesitate at all. What he gave her was vanilla pudding and water, she was done with them both in less than a minute.
"That's enough for today" the man said "if want to live another 100 years you will have to eat one of those just once every two days."
"Why are you helping me?" Marceline asked "what's your name?"
"Well I'm helping you, because I can" he said "and my name is Archer. Orion Archer please to meet you Marceline." Orion held out his hand and Marceline shook it.
"Now it looks like it's time to sleep" Orion said "let me show you to your sleeping quarters."
