Chapter 36: Amnesia and the Second Trial

Sol woke up relaxed and full of energy, she got up from her bed and stared at the picture of her family. She didn't look through the drawer last night. She opened the drawer and there were clothes and fur boots inside. She found a photo of her mother and father dating together.

She smiled at the old photo and put it beside her picture frame staring at it for the moment till she heard someone knocking the door. "Are you awake?" Ausbilder asked waiting for a response. "Yes I am let me get dressed" Sol said.

Ausbilder turns around walking outside feeling the cool gentle breeze. "Where's Exoculo?" Sol asked looking around. "She is gone for the moment, have you eaten anything this morning?" Sol's stomach started to growl and a chuckle came off from him. "I take that as a no"

Ausbilder made breakfast and passed a plate of food to Sol who ate it happily. "So what is my next trial Ausbilder?"

He sat down in front of her with his eyes aimed at her. "You'll find out what your next trial is Sol, eat up you'll need your energy" he replied closing his eyes. While Sol was eating, she got curious of what his face looks like, she slowly reach her hand toward his mask. Her finger touched the mask and his eyes opened. "Why do you want to see my face so badly Sol?" he asked pulling his face away slowly.

"I don't know, did you have an accident or something?" she asked hearing a sigh from him. "I know you are a child, still full of wonder and curiosity of everything you see but I will not answer your question till the time is right" he said walking outside and Sol followed him.

. . .

Frey woke up noticing his sister's bed is made neatly, usually he would expect seeing Sol halfway off the bed or snoring on the floor. Its been one day since she went on her journey and already he misses her. 'I guess I can hang out with Leonard to pass the time' he thought putting on his clothes and saw his cousin, Jake Jr. running to his uncle's house holding an unconscious woman in his arms.

Earlier

The assassin, Jenny, was running through the Rock Kingdom to complete her mission of killing Finn the Human and Jake the Dog. She was close to the grasslands where she heard where the two heroes lives at.

She jumped on a boulder and tried to get a better look as the sun was rising. She heard movement and looks down as a rock golem stands up looking up at her. "Why are you on my head?" it asked feeling uncomfortable and was fixing to attack her. Jenny jumped off and stabbed his face with her two swords. "Thats it little one I'm gonna kill you" it yelled punching her across the field.

Jenny landed safely and saw the rock golem raising its fist in the air. She rolled away from his attack. She stood up jumping on his back and stabbed him more causing some of the rocks to fall off from its body. It grabbed her and threw her toward a boulder and hit her head.

"Hey leave her alone!" a male said before she went unconscious.

Jake Jr. wrapped his hands around the golem and looked at the girl who is around his age. "Did someone stepped on you again by accident?" Jake Jr. asked. The golem nodded. "Man Sol and I told you not to attack travelers unless they were attacking you.

"Well she attacked me when I tried to grab her" it said grabbing rocks and put them back on his body. "Maybe she was scared and thought you was gonna attack have you thought about that?" It shook its head as Jake Jr. let it go free and paid attention to the girl.

He pulled down her hood and saw her light brown fur that kinda captivated him but saw blood rushing out of her head. He picked her up bride style and ran to his home hoping his mother could heal the wound. "Mom er- 엄마는 그녀는 도움이 필요합니다!" (Mom she needs help!) he yelled as his mother floated beside him and looked at the girl.

"구급상자 에서 일부 붕대를!" (Get some bandages from the first aid kit) Lady Rainicorn yelled. Jake Jr. brought some first aid while Lady Rainicorn was checking the wound for any infection, luckily the wound was not infected so she stitched the wound, rubbed some medicine on the wound, wrapping bandages around Jenny's head.

An hour later, Jenny was still unconscious and she was laying on a bed in the guest's room. Jake Jr. looked at the bandages making sure if its healing well. Jenny's eyes opened and she grabbed him by the neck. Jake Jr. stretched out his neck so he can speak. "Wait I mean no harm" he gasped as she let go wondering why she did that.

"Who are you?" she asked placing her hand on her head and the wound stung a bit. "I found you unconscious at the Rock Kingdom do you remembered what anything?" She looks down thinking about what he said and all she can remember was her name. "I don't think so but my name is Jenny" she said and Jake Jr. smiled. "Well im Jake Jr. nice to meet you Jenny" he said shaking her hand(or paw) that made her blushed.

"Where am I Jake?" she asked looking around the room. "You're at my parents house in the Grasslands" he replied when Jenny was looking behind him and see armor and weapons on a table. "Do you remember these?" he pointed and she shook her head. "I don't know" she said hearing footsteps outside and she jumped up when she saw a rainicorn floating around her.

"너 괜찮아?" (Are you okay?) Lady Rainicorn said checking her wound. Jenny looks at him for translation. "My mom asked if you are okay" Jake Jr. said and Jenny nodded at her. "How long have I been out?"

Jake Jr. started scratching his head and said. "You been out for two days" she pull over the covers and tried to stand on the floor but her feet were numb and she was supported by Jake Jr. "Thank you Jake" she said putting her arm around his neck. "How come your mother is a rainicorn and you look like a dog?" she asked till she saw the family.

"I'm pretty much a hybrid to answer your question" he said introducing everyone to Jenny. "Hello Jenny I am Jake, these are my kids, Sin-ang, Leonard, and of course Jake Jr."

"Hello Jenny do you remember anything?" Leonard asked. Jake Jr. talked over her. "All she could remember was her name, come on Jenny let me show you the others" he said walking outside and stretched himself into a horse. Jenny took a step back feeling uncomfortable.

"Whats wrong?" he asked. "How can you do that?" she asked poking his back. "I was born with powers from my dad who said that he was playing in a magic mud puddle" he replied as Jenny got on his back and he walked toward the tree house.

Sunna passed Frey a plate of food and she looks at her daughter's seat that is empty, she sighed missing her already. "I miss her too mom" Frey said watching Jake Jr. stretch back to his normal size and saw the girl with him. "So is this the girl you was talking about Jake?" Frey asked. Jake Jr. nodded.

"Welcome to our home Jenny, Im Sunna, this is my son Frey, do you want something to eat?" she asked hearing Jenny's stomach growl. "Yes please" Jenny replied sitting on a chair beside Frey and saw a man walking in. "Well hello there im Finn" he said shaking her hand. "How are you feeling?" he asked, she didn't respond as she was lost in thought. 'Finn where did I heard that name before?' she thought till she got back to reality. "Oh I feel okay I guess" she said enjoying the smell of spices from Sunna's cooking.

A shadow floated behind Jenny and she turned around seeing a demonic face. She screamed falling off the chair and ran to the other side of the table. "What are you doing here?!" she yelled at the vampire. "I'm here to suck your blood!" the vampire responded in a Romanian accent.

Everyone started laughing and Jenny's face turned red. "Why are you guys laughing about that's a vampire" she yelled leaning her head back as the vampire was close to hers. "Marcy how many times I told you about scaring guests?" Sunna said and Marceline sat on the table grabbing an apple.

Jake Jr. placed his hand on her shoulder trying to calm her down. "Don't worry Jenny this is Marceline the Vampire Queen, she doesn't suck people's blood... I think"

Marceline sucked the red from the apple and passed it to Jenny. "Don't worry Jenny I won't bite" she chuckled and Jenny grinned noticing a bump on Marceline's belly. "Are you pregnant Marceline?" she asked.

"Yep"

"Whose the father?" she asked and Marceline rolled her eyes. "It's not important is that wound healing?"

"Yeah mom is a great healer" Jake Jr. said thinking of pulling up the bandages to see the wound but changed his mind. Jenny saw a bump on Sunna's belly too. "Are you pregnant too Sunna?"

Sunna nodded. "This will be my third child" Jenny looked around. "Where is your other child?" she asked and she see them lowering their heads. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't-"

"No no our daughter is alright, she went on a journey" Sunna explained knowing Jenny was thinking something else.

"Anyway do you remember anything of your past or your family?" Sunna asked. Jenny closed her eyes trying to remember. "I'm sorry I can't remember anything but my name" she responded feeling sad.

"Well don't worry your memory loss is temporary, it'll come back" Finn said as Jenny was looking around the house. "Want me to show other parts of the land maybe an object or something might bring up your memory" he said seeing her smile. "That sounds great Jake" she said jumping on his back.

Jake Jr. blushed trying to stretch his body while she was on his back.

. . .

Ausbilder and Sol walked through another cave and found a small black building with dark tinted windows closed shut, Sol could hear someone calling her name from inside. She looks up at him and he nodded letting her walk inside the building. She walked inside and saw a candle lit in the middle of the room.

The door slammed shut by itself and the candle light was out. "Welcome Sol, this is your second trial. You will learn about controlling your fears" the voice said as all lights turned on. Sol see a hooded figure standing at the center of the room.

"Come don't be shy" it said not revealing its face to her. Slowly Sol walked toward the figure, the floor boards creaked upon each step she take. She reached for its hoody and pulled it down. Sol's mouth opened in horror when she pulled down the hoody.

"Jack! no that can't be, your dead!" she said walking back as Jack whose chest was torn apart smiled walking toward her. Her back was against the wall remembering Jack, the goblin who killed her friends, the one who kidnapped her and almost killed her. 'No he can't be real he can't be real' she thought closing her eyes and reached for her sword but her body couldn't move and began to feel cold inside. Jack's hand touched her cheek and laughed when Sol managed to get her hand on her sword.

She swung her sword and heard a scream, she opened her eyes and tears began to develop. "Sol why?" Frey said with the sword pierced through his chest and fell backwards. Sol caught him and see another figure instead. "Mommy?"

"Why did you have to kill your own mother?" Sunna said bleeding heavily. Sunna faded and her father appeared and Sol's mind was fixing to split. 'You see Sol, fear is a weakness in everyone's heart. You can fight your fears young one but can you handle your families fears?' the voice said.

Sol saw her father turn into darkness and moves away into the corner. A much larger being walked toward her covered in darkness except its face. "Are you cold Sol?" it said smiling with flesh falling from its mouth. Sol heard stories of this creature and her own father didn't want to talk about it. "I can smell fear from you child, you are scared of me and you will never destroy me" it said laughing.

It reached for her and she stood up pointing her sword at it and her sword started to glow. "NO I am not cold and I am not afraid of you!" she yelled cutting off its hand. The creature screamed and fell down. "Sol I thought you was my friend?" Geana said holding her hand and vanished.

She heard a creak on the floor behind her and she turned around fixing to cut someone. "WAIT you completed your trial young one" the cloak figure said raising his hands in the air and Sol sighed putting her sword in her holder.

"I see your heart is pure but you had the courage to face one of your father's nightmares. I can still sense fear in your mind, you wanted to press out some of the horrors you experienced in your past. But you will still remember it for the rest of your life" he said hearing the girl crying and said walking toward the shadows. "Remember this Sol one of your fears will come true" he said and Sol went after him and he disappeared.

"Sol are you ok?" Ausbilder asked walking in. "No im not alright" she said wiping the tears away from her eyes. "This was not supposed to happen-"

Sol left the building and Ausbilder saw the figure in front of him. "I thought you promised our master not to harm people remember last time you done that?" he yelled.

"I know I went too far" The man said remembering what happened.

Flashback

Sunna cried with her hands on her face seeing Finn's dead body in front of her. "Please don't die on me!" she cried holding him in her arms as his skin started to burn and she let go. Fire started to spread around her and she was not able to control it. The building started to burn and the snow was melting. "SUNNA!" Ausbilder shouted running in the burning building.

He found Sunna on the floor crying heavily and he ran toward her. He placed his gloved hands on her and it started to burn but he managed to grab hold of her and ran out of the house. "Sunna it's only an illusion!" he yelled trying to make her stop crying.

End Flashback

"What if something like that happened and it could be ten times worse!" Ausbilder said getting angry. "I'm sorry this power of mine is not easy to control, magic always have drawbacks" the other said back as Ausbilder walked out of the building to find Sol crying on the snow. "Sol are you ok?"

She didn't respond wiping the tears off from her cheeks. When he took a step toward her, she stood up and walked away. 'I never wanted this to happen again' he thought wanting to calm her but he know that she needed to be alone.

. . .

Jenny laughed when Jake Jr. was telling stories of his adventures with his cousins. "Wow Sol did that?" Jenny asked sitting on the grass beside him. "Oh yeah she reminds me so much of my uncle if you ask me... do you still remember anything?"

She thought back and it caused her head to hurt. "Don't push yourself Jenny" he said feeling his stomach flipped over when he heard her moan in pain. Jenny smiled laying down and looks at him. "Thanks Jake"

"For what?"

"For you know, saving my life, healed me, and take me out across Ooo. You are funny and childish at the same time" she said smiling kissing his cheek and Jake Jr. smiled with a hint of blushing. "Since its fixing to be dark soon you want to spend the night in the guest room, maybe some sleep can help fix your memories?" he asked hoping she would say yes.

"I would love to Jake"

. . .

Tanya, Bruyan, Techa, Heavy, Furan, and Gracia were surrounded by human and alien warriors with swords and bows pointing at them. "Halt Larkan's servants!" one of the humans yelled pointing his sword at Heavy's neck.

"We are not Larkan's servants I am a human too!" Bruyan yelled pulling the sword away from Heavy. A few pull their weapons away and one of warriors walked in the circle. "We will let the council decide if you are our ally... or our enemy" he said walking away and they were taken to a city filled with life.

Bruyan see little children, human and alien alike running past them. He noticed one of the children have hair but black round eyes. Other people stood still watching strangers walking by and they stopped to the largest building in the city.

The doors opened slowly and an alien walked toward them, it seemed more like an insect to Bruyan. Four bright red eyes, two hands with long fingers, six legs, two pincers covering its sharp teeth, and has black armor skin.

It placed its finger on Bruyan's cheek and he was a little afraid with saliva dripping from its mouth. "What is your name?" he said staring at him, he waved his hand and they took the others inside except Bruyan. "My name Bruyan, I was a scientist a thousand years ago"

"You're a scientist eh? well I am a scientist too, but wait a thousand years ago you should've died of old age by now unless you was frozen or something" he said seeing Bruyan nodded. "What is your name?" Bruyan asked.

"Aruka now you can feel free to look around the kingdom-"

"I want to know where you are taking my friends?" Bruyan asked. One of Aruka's eyes wandered by itself and opened the door. "Follow me and the council will decide the fate of your friends" he said walking inside with Bruyan.

. . .

It was late at night and Me-Mow was waiting for Jenny to appear so she called Jenny's master to talk. The man who is a dog himself walked in wearing leather armor with multiple daggers in his belt holder. "What is it that you want to ask Me-Mow?" he asked watching the full moon rising.

"Your apprentice didn't show up on her assignment" she said crossing her arms. "Maybe she is trying to find out their weaknesses Me-Mow" he said. "You got me there... fine I can be patient" she said seeing his smile when he was walking away.

'Im going to go to the grasslands to see where she's at' he thought climbing out through a window and was heading to the Grasslands.
