Marceline knew she didn't have much time, as Peppermint Butler would be here to let him know of the bad news that Finn still was preaching.
"I've got to get to Finn." Marceline said before flying out of the castle window.
"Master Abadeer! I- Master Abadeer?" Peppermint Butler said, before seeing ash on the ground begin to rebuild itself.
"Ah! That's better." Hunson said.
"My liege!" The young mint man said bowing. "Who did this?!"
"Come my friend, the war has taken a new turn it would seem."
Later.
"FINN!" Marceline said calling out from his home.
"Marceline?" Finn said peaking behind the door. "Marceline! What's wrong?"
"I need to talk to you." Marceline said holding her ax closely.
"Well come on in." Finn said gesturing to come closer.
"No . . . I can't with that." Marceline said frowning.
"*Sigh* Marceline, why are you doing this to me?" Finn said slowly coming out of his home.
"I'm trying to save you." Marceline hissed impatiently. "That's why i put that dagger on your door."
"Marceline! Wh-why!?" Finn said feeling provoked, but also piqued.
"Finn . . . I didn't wanna hurt you, but it's too late, the second i get a chance to, i'll have to honor my father's demand as a demon and kill you as he has ordered," Marceline said holding her ax even tighter. "But luckily i can't because you bare that cross." She added pointing to his chest with a slight smile
Finn looked down and saw his small wooden cross hanging from his neck.
"And not one demon can enter your home with that on your door." She finished pointing to his door.
"Marceline." Finn begin but Marceline interrupted him.
"I can't keep my father at bay on my own, but I can do it with your help." Marceline said softly. "Finn . . . I love you, and I don't ever want to harm another human being, please help me, so that i may help you."
Finn looked deeply into her eyes, and reached forward to grab her hand, but it felt painful for Marceline to touch Finn.
"Agh!" Marceline said withdrawing sadly.
"I'm sorry!" Finn said scared at his touch.
"Nevermind, we have work to do, I know how to fight demons, and you can provide the materials as a priest." Marceline said shaking her hand as it slightly smoked.
"But I'm no priest." Finn said confused.
"Finn . . . You've been anointed," Marceline said giving a very broad smile. "You are a priest."
Marceline went over to a nearby spring, and collected some pure water in a bottle.
"Finn, bless this." Marceline stated handing him the bottle.
Finn did so praying as he held the bottle.
"Finn, now pour a drop on my hand." Marceline said extending it forward.
Finn did so, and it hurt to see the tears of pain appear in her eyes as the water burned right through her hand, leaving a smoking hole.
"At least it hurts my father just as much." Marceline said.
"What do you mean?" Finn said.
Meanwhile.
"AGH!" Hunson said falling to the ground clutching his hand. "No! NO!"
Peppermint butler appeared by his side to help him up.
"He knows." Hunson said. "My own daughter told him . . ."
