The Fifth Element
Chapter 25: The Huntress's Horn


Finn drank the potion. It was a burning spiced wine, made from enchanted herbs and fruits. It was a healing potion. It burned Finn's blood, enchanting it with magical healing juice. It knitted his bones and broken skin together. It soaked up his bruises, and deflated his bumps.

"It won't last, but it should see you into the next fight." Said Stag.

"Wuh, next fight?" Finn said. "But, I didn't beat you? You knocked us both out?" Finn said.

"Did you even listen to the bee?" Stag said. "He said you had to FIGHT the Ninja King. Not BEAT the Ninja King. And you fought me. You lost. Next fight!"

"So...can you tell me about the next King?" Finn asked.

"Huntress Wizard?" Stag said. He said in front of Finn and Frosty Bob, with his legs cross, and took a sip of healing potion himself. "She's my GF, holmes."

Finn blushed at this revelation. As far as he knew, he didn't need to know that biz.

"She's also pretty donking strong. She'll pulp you bro. PULP...YOU..." Stag spelt out. Finn found his tone to be quite condescending.

"Can you take me too her?" Finn asked, standing up. His armor was incredibly cracked at this point from all the pummelling.

"Don't need to. She keeps her cell horn at my house. Blow into the horn and you'll summon her to you." Said Stag. Stag, though normally bipedal, got on all fours, and allowed Finn to climb on his back. Finn said up straight, and grabbed Stag's antlers, using them as handlebars. Stag turned back to Frosty Bob.

"You coming big guy?" Stag said to Frosty Bob. Frosty Bob nodded, and morphed his body into a motorcycle shape.

"Frosty Bob! Why didn't you tell me you could do that?" Finn yelped. Bob simply said nothing.

The group sped off into the forest.


Stag's house was more...metropolitan than Finn had imagined. Finn had pictured some kind of oriental dojo, as befitting a NINJA king. It turned out that it was just some...bro cave. It had a big bed in the corner, a mini fridge and hot plate, and the floor was littered with beer cans and samurai swords. On the other side of the room from the bed was a massive TV, a loveseat and a gaming system.

"Hang on, it's around here somewhere." Said Stag, as he waded through his own personal lake of disarray.

"Is this it?" Finn asked, holding up an ivory hunting horn. It had two massive gems in the hit, and was carved to resemble a bear's head.

"Dude, you found it!" Stag said. He took the horn, and blew it. It made a loud, triumphant roar.

Suddenly, an arrow was fired in between Stag's legs.

"She's here." Stag grinned.
