Finn floated around the fiery kingdom known as the Fire Kingdom out of boredom. He was technically fire-proof since he had become a vampire. Finn had just completed saving one of the fire towns from being extinguished by a water monster. It was a pretty tough fight since his sword would just go right through the liquidly beast, but eventually the beast retreated back to where it had come from, not liking the feeling of being cut in half and then quickly reforming back together again. Finn had figured that it must have been just lost and confused, so he let it leave.
Now he watched as the fire villagers began their repairs to their damaged buildings. The villagers not really concerned that they had just been somewhat saved by an invisible being. Before he had decided to leave elsewhere, Finn looked down to the area where he had fought the monster, in search for any gifts from the fire elementals that did believe they were saved. Finding nothing, he floated off, not paying much mind as he entered the kingdom of the land.
Finn looked around the kingdom, not interested in all of the royal junk that nearly everybody inside were talking about. He was just about to leave the kingdom, finding nothing catching his eyes, but had looked up to see a giant lantern hanging from the roof. Curious, Finn floated up to the lantern and peered inside, surprised to see a fire elemental girl burying her face into her knees. From what he could tell, she was around the age of maybe fifteen or fourteen. Older than the demon girl he had met a while ago.
Finn looked around the lantern, seeing ropes connected to the ceiling of the room. He turned back to the girl, wondering why she was in such a lantern anyway. She didn't seem like a threat or anything near evil seeing how depressed and sad she looked. So he looked around the large room, spotting a lever down below, figuring that was what would release her from the prison she was in.
Last time he had done something without thinking he caused both Marceline and him to be sent into the world of demons along with the lord of the land. So Finn crossed his legs and floated there, pondering on what he should do. Maybe the girl was locked up because she actually was evil and would destroy the whole world. Or maybe the girl is innocent and was mistakenly locked up.
He had come up with an idea that'd probably work. Hearing the whole story from the girl's point of view. Finn tapped on the lantern, while still invisible, and watched as the girl lifted her head up from the noise. He tapped the lantern again, causing the girl to walk over the noise. "Hello." He said once the girl was right in front of him. The lantern wall in-between the two.
She seemed confused at first, looking around the lantern for the source of his voice since she couldn't see him.
"I'm here. Just invisible." He told her.
The girl turned back to him, "Who are you?" She asked him.
"It's not that important. Not as important as to why you are inside a lantern."
She sighed, "I've been stuck in here my entire life. My father locked me in here since I was a baby."
"Your father?"
"Yeah. The Flame King."
Finn widened his eyes in surprise, "You're the Flame Princess?"
She nodded to wherever she thought he was.
He had all of the information he thought he needed. She couldn't be evil if she hasn't been anywhere outside of her lantern since birth. "Wait here. I'll get you out."
She gasped, "You will?!"
Finn didn't reply as he flew down to the lever, quietly pushing it in hope to make a sneaky escape instead of causing a scene. As he pushed, he looked up at the lantern, seeing as the bottom of it began to open up. Once the gap was big enough, he floated back up and flew through the gap. Carefully he picked the Flame Princess into his arms and secretly flew her out, going back to the lever and closing the lantern back shut.
He had flown all the way out of the Fire Kingdom without detection. Once they had reached the darkness of the grass beyond the Fire Kingdom borders, he placed her down.
She was extremely happy as she began to observe the grass and flowers around her. "Woah no way!" Flame Princess smiled as she began using her fire powers out of curiosity. She turned around to where she thought Finn still was, "Thank you! Very very very much!"
Finn still floated there watching her, "No problem."
She giggled and began messing with her powers again. "Can I see you and ask for your name by any chance?" Flame Princess asked him.
Finn hesitated. Having her seeing him would probably end up how it usually ended up. Her being scared and getting away from him. "Um… No but you can have my name though. I'm Finn." He told her.
Flame Princess nodded, "I'm Flame Princess. Thanks for everything, Finn!"
Finn had decided that this was the right time to leave. But then a problem came up, "Where are you going to stay now that you're away from your lantern?"
She looked around the land, seeing a far cliff in the distance. "I'm going to build my house way over there and live in it. It's a good place since it's not really visible from the Fire Kingdom."
"Alright. If anything comes up I'll probably be there to help." Finn began floating off.
"Thanks again!" Flame Princess repeated into the still night, knowing that Finn had already left.
He hadn't realized that he was headed somewhere until he had got there. The mouth of the cave owned by the only troublemaking little girl he knew. Finn shrugged his shoulders, continuing to float inside the cave, seeing that the lights for her house were on, meaning that she was inside.
"Daddy, why did you leave me? You created me, so don't you wanna see me?"
He heard her little voice singing to herself as he floated in closer. This was the first time that he had actually heard her sing since she's been so secluded about it, and he had to admit that he was impressed. She could actually sing. Like really good.
"My cursed blood is your cursed blood, come on back and be my bud. I can count your visits on my fingertips. Come back and give me presents from your business trips…"
Although this very song was quite depressing for someone of her age, causing Finn's heart to sink in compassion. If he even had a heart. Finn waited before entering the house, listening to her song until she was finished.
"Daddy why did you father me, If all you wanna do is bother me? Don't you know that I love you? When I only wanna see more of you…"
Finn took a deep breath and entered the house. He had already become visible a while ago. Finn had found her in the corner of the room where he music sheets were, gently petting the white poodle that she had described to him before. She didn't seem to notice that he had even entered her house, so Finn gave her a small applaud.
Marceline's eyes snapped up from the poodle to him, having heard his clapping. Her face became a light pink as she angrily looked at him. The poodle, deciding this was a good time to leave, jumped off of her lap and ran away. Marceline got up from her seat, stomping her way over to Finn and began punching him in embarrassment.
Finn laughed as he dodged he punches, "It was really good! Why are you punching me?"
"Cause you're a butt!" Marceline growled, tackling him onto the ground. "You weren't supposed to hear that!"
Finn laughed again as he allowed the girl to pin him down to the floor, "Add some instruments and it will be even better."
"Psh. I already knew that." She got off of him, standing back up and crossing her arms as she glared down at him.
He got up too, "I don't know why you were shy to sing before when you're actually really good at singing."
"I wasn't shy!"
"Whatever." He laughed again.
Marceline puffed her cheeks in annoyance, and began looking around the room. "Great. You scared away Schwable."
"Schwable?"
"Yeah. I named him. The white dog remember? I found out that he's a zombie too."
"Oh." Finn looked around the room, spotting the red axe still in the same position as it was before. He noticed that it didn't have a speck of dust on it even though they had obtained that weapon about a few months before. She must have been taking a really good care of it. "Can you carry that yet?" He pointed to it.
Marceline grinned, "Yeah I've been working out!" She lifted her arms to show of her 'muscles'.
Finn burst into laughter at her reply. He hadn't expected it.
She glared at him, "What's so funny?"
He continued laughing, "Nothing." He said in between laughs. "So you've been working out?"
Marceline continued to glare at him, "Actually no. I've tried to once but got tired of it because it was so boring. I'll stick to running with wolves and other stuff." Her face brightened up, "Let's go climb a mountain!" She took his arm and dashed out the building.
"Wait what?" Finn stopped his laughing. "Climb a mountain? Isn't it a little late for that?"
"Yeah but you're going to be with me so it's okay." At the entrance of her cave, she looked around the darkness in search for the perfect mountain. "And I also like to do things whenever I feel like it." Marceline spotted a mountain in the distance and began running towards it.
Finn raised an eyebrow at her. She only liked to do things if it were to be fun to her. He looked over at the mountain where she was headed as he was dragged along, "It's going to take you a while to get over there." Swiftly he picked her up and began flying towards the mountain.
"Wheee!" She giggled as they flew. She loved it when they would fly.
Finn set her down at the base of the mountain, arching his head backwards to see the top of it. "You're going to climb this?"
Marceline nodded, she ran around to find some sharp stones, vines, and sturdy sticks. Hastily she created double pick-axe looking tools. "Yep!" She ran back over to the mountain, beginning to climb it by using her new tools to assist with her weight.
Finn just floated with her as she climbed.
About half an hour later, Marceline had made it to the top. She fell flat on her stomach in exhaustion, "Do I have muscles yet?"
Finn laughed again, "Marceline why do you want muscles in the first place?"
"Am I not supposed to have muscles?"
"I mean you can if you want to. There's nothing wrong about it. I'm not stopping you."
"Oh."
"You can still be strong without muscles though."
Marceline got up from her position, her young energy already refilled back into her. "Good. Because that axe isn't going to lift itself."
Finn laughed again, "Don't just try to be stronger though. I'm sure when you're older you'll be able to carry it even if you don't make your muscles stronger now."
Marceline gave a sigh of relief, "Well good. Now I can focus back on doing whatever I feel like doing instead of growing muscles."
He gave yet another laugh, picking her back up and floated her back home. "By the way I'm going to be gone for a couple of months." He told her.
"What why?"
"I have a long quest. Don't worry I'll be back soon though."
"Psh. Who's worrying?" She grinned at him, "Good luck!" She thought about it, "Can I come?"
Finn grinned back at her, "No. Maybe when you're older I'll let you go though."
Marceline groaned, "Whatever Finn. You better bring me back a souvenir."
"I will." He laughed.
