Back with more Adventure Time from Fallen Angel N.
The Magic Man had appeared in the goblin king's throne room. He didn't seem to be doing any harm at the moment, just startling and confusing the goblins.
The Goblin King decided to ignore the issue for now, as long as it doesn't get too serious. He left to attend to other matters.
The Wizards said that they have detected a powerful magical force coming from the wastelands. Whatever it was, it was stronger than most things they've known.
The Kingdom sent out many spies to the wastelands to try and understand this new force. Meanwhile in the fire kingdom the council was worried about the goblin kingdom's growth, worrying about their safety they consult the leader of the fire kingdom.
The fire kingdom, despising deception, openly admitted they planned to use the Fire Sentinel to spread the fire kingdom. They didn't plan on attacking the goblin kingdom, but they felt they must expand, less they disappear.
The kingdom was worried. They didn't particularly mind the expansion, but when will it end? Any land taken by the fire kingdom is impossible to return to normal, as the land becomes a sea of inhospitable flames. The goblin kingdom decided to ignore the issue. Meanwhile the Goblin King call the high council to discuss the new magical force.
The high wizards all gathered with the goblin king. Apparently, only three of the spies had returned, and all were too wounded to explain.
The king placed high priority on the spies, ordering all medical personnel focus their attention on them. Meanwhile he spoke to the council about this threat. "How many are we expecting" he asks the council. "Can you determine if they are good or harmful?"
"Near as we can tell, its harmful, but not malicious. It appears to be a destructive force that is unaware that it is destructive." The high wizard explained. "Gee, where have we heard of that before?" The Magic Man questioned sarcastically, appearing in the room.
The King ignored Magic man's intrusion. "If you have something helpful to say why not share it with the rest of the class"
The Magic Man shrugged. "Well, when you want to catch a thief, you send a thief. When you want to snare a wizard, you send a wizard. And when you want to bring down a destructive force that has no clue what its doing..."
"I'm afraid that's a difficult thing to send." said the Goblin King "I wouldn't mind sending Ice King but we haven't really anything to offer him. Anyway I'd rather not send something clueless to deal with my problems, it's a bit unreliable. I have something a bit drastic in mind should this prove too much. For now I am quite interested in the identity of this being."
"Well, I guess that's your opinion. I don't particularly care what it is. But then, I already know." The Magic Man smirked.
The goblin king asked the wizards to keep getting information if possible. The king then went to his chambers. He hated waiting to solve problems, but right now they needed more information and right now that required time.
"Funny you mention time," The Magic Man said, reading the goblin king's mind, "As that has quite a bit to do with it. Or rather, it has to do with what's been lost to time."
"You're quite the sneaky individual aren't you, I'm impressed. Okay then, something that has been lost to time huh. The only thing I can think of lost in time is pre-war, but why do I get the feeling you know much more than you're telling?" The goblin king questioned.
"Because I always do," The Magic Man said, "But I'm in a good mood today, and I think I'll give you a hint. Three brilliant minds, three dark acts, three dark shadows, three horrid facts. One world lost, many worlds torn. And if not stopped at the heart, many will be torn." The Magic Man's voice echoed as he vanished into the shadows.
"Dang it" The king paced back and forth. "Clues aren't supposed to make things even harder to figure out" He couldn't understand what Magic Man meant. The King sent out a decree, anyone who could solve the riddle would earn their weight in gold. He went to check out the condition of the spies.
Most were are near death or dead. But one is able to speak. His body is covered in angry burns, which seem to spread as though they were a fungus. "The... the..." He wheezes, "The Night..." He mutters, trying to explain.
"The night? Please I need more, the very kingdom may rest on your knowledge. If you think you can survive these injuries then do not speak, but if you are certain you will die then please tell me all you can." The goblin king said.
He grabbed the king by the scuff of his shirt and pulls him close, "The Nightosphere..." His eyes went dark, completely black, and then closed.
