Well, can't wait for tomorrow)
Chapter 10. Lost In Darkness
I can't believe what this is doing to me
I've seen so many cities
Fall down to their knees
Week later.
Marceline was surrounded by the books, looking for info. Central hall of PB's castle was all covered with books; PB was somewhere over them. From the time, when Marceline told PB what have happened, they were looking for any clues about where Finn gone, and how could they get him.
- Another useless book, verdammit! – Princess thrown a book into the pile of seen books.
- Take it easy, Princess. We will find one of them and get him out,- Marceline replied, and thought to herself: "If we have got any chance" Princess looked over the books at Marceline:
- I know. I am just... worried that my preserving potion will last and his body will turn into something... awful, - Vampire Queen have looked in her eyes:
- I know, PB. He was friend for both of us, - She have turned a page, and thought with sudden sad smile: "And wanted not to be only friends..." Marceline looked at the picture; she saw one familiar eye:
- Found!- Marceline shouted. Princess rushed right through the pile of books; Marceline was nearly buried in them. PB took the book and helped Vampire Queen to get put of the newly created pile of books:
- Sorry, - Marceline smiled:
- Never mind, let's look what I have found, - Girls both looked through the page...
I'm begging you, please
Don't bury me underneath their crumbled walls
My barren thoughts weigh heavier
Than the weight of our demands
I feel the pressure building up inside my head
I feel the distance drowning me in my own sweat
Cause I need the cold now
It's my turn to roll out all the stops
And show that I know where I have to go
When castle crumbled, something happened and sun has gone. But there was no moon, so Finn was left in the darkness. Alone. It was the most unpleasant situation; Finn was unable to die, and he was unable to get out. He has tried to get out from these lands, walking in one way, but always was returning to the ruins. "So, instead of eternity of talks with the King of this place, I am doomed on eternity of loneliness" – Finn thought to himself. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but in this place he was unable to. Time passed, and he suddenly saw light in the overall darkness...
I've got to find my way back
Retrace my steps
So I can prove to you that I'm alive
Crawling my way back to the place
I know that's meant for me to find my way back
To find my way back home
I feel the heat and what it's doing to me
I've been pulling at my own skin
To hide my face
… - Marceline, I can't read through this page, it is encrypted! – Princess looked over the page. Marceline didn't reply on it. She just kept looking on the page.
- Marceline, wha… - Vampire Queen put her hand on PB's mouth, and continued to read. After a few seconds she answered:
- I knew this language. This page was encrypted by the last humans in this world. As it says, this amulet is actually the key to the place mostly known as Land of Eternal Peace, - Marceline looked at Princess,- Only souls are able to enter this place. Problem is, that souls are unable to return by themselves. They need help from the outside, and there is detailed description of it,- She smiled, almost relieved:
- We shall go to Finn's body – soul won't wait around without a body…
It's hard to relate
Forget the way you feel when you are safe at home
You leave this world alone, stone by stone
If only I had known about the
Pressure building up inside my head
I feel the distance drowning me in my own sweat
Cause I need the cold now
It's my turn to roll out all the stops
And show that I know where I have to go
… Finn ran towards the light. He was unable to tell, how long, but it seemed like he didn't even moved towards it. This place was actually keeping him inside. He stopped and looked behind him. Ruins were on the horizon. Finn sighed and walked toward them. After some time he realized that light become much more powerful. He turned around and saw it in the closer distance.
- What does that mean? – He spoke to himself, as he was for a long time there,
- It moves towards you when you walk away from it,- Finn answered himself,
- So, we shall get to the ruins, ran again towards the light and then return again until it will get closer enough for us to get inside? – He asked himself and relied immediately: - Of course!
- Let's do this…
I've got to find my way back
Retrace my steps
So I can prove to you that I'm alive
Crawling my way back to the place
I know that's meant for me to find my way back
Find my way back home
One mile left
It lasts a lifetime
Like a promise kept
…Marceline and PB sat around Finn's body with their right hands holding the amulet. Recipe for saving Finn was simple: some blood of loving persons on the surface of amulet will lead the way. Amulet started to glow; on particular moment both girls was forced to turn their faces from the amulet and closed their eyes. Then amulet flashed brightly and glowing stopped.
- Iit worked? – PB asked Marceline, and slowly opened her eyes. Maceline done the same and looked at Finn's body. It was still lying lifeless on the table.
- We have failed, - Marceline whispered and bowed her head. Tears gone from her eyes and fell on Finn's face. Then Finn suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
-You are alive! – Both girls shouted and hugged him with the tears and expression of relief on their faces…
Under the weight of the world
Falling down on your shoulders
It's colder
I've got to find my way back
Retrace my steps
So I can prove to you that I'm alive
Crawling my way back to the place
I know that's meant for me to find my way back
Find my way back home
Find my way back home
Cause I've been crawling my way back to the place
I know that's meant for me to find my way back
Find my way back home
Well, it STILL not the end. Enjoy if you are)
