The entrance of the tree house creaks open. Finn steps in and looks about his treasure room. He spots something in particular and with a quick collection of steps he grabs a shifty jewelry box from the floor. He opens it as a cloud of dust coughs out of the opening, he kneels down onto the wooden floor placing the open box in front of him, reaching into his satchel he pulls out two rings. Two rings that PB had requested he destroy.

Finn then hears Jake yell from above. "Finn is that you?" "Yea Jake it's Me."

"Hmph." Finn sighs.

Finn glances at the rings before dropping them into the box. He shuts the box with a sharp "Clink" sound. Finn begins to stand as he tosses the ring box into his satchel.

Now I just got to find some kind of purpose for them Finn thought to himself

Finn climbed the ladder into the kitchen as Jake asked of him "Hey bro, Imma make meatloaf tonight...sound cool"

Finn walks to the table as he pulls off his satchel and placing it on the floor. He turns to Jake "Yeah sounds good."

Finn sits as he looks to where he had broken that plate earlier in the day, to see BMO smiling as he gives Finn a thumbs up. Finn smiles as he returns the thumbs up.

***Several Hours Later***

Marceline groans rolling herself out of bed plummeting to the floor. She continues to groan in distaste as she begins to levitate, turning to the hatch door laying at the other end of the room. She finds her way into the kitchen. Opening the door to her refrigerator as she looks for things to throw together. Marceline Deeply sighs as she closes her eyes. She thinks back, back to a time where she felt content. Marceline use to be brimming with happiness, her and PB were happy nothing ever seeming to go wrong until… Marceline returns to reality as she hears a knock on her door. She places her bowl of strawberries atop the counter as she hovers her way over to the door. Opening the door to find Peppermint Butler holding a letter. " I Give to you a letter of eviction" Peppermint Butler decreed. Marceline looked down upon Pep she began to tremble as she reached for the letter. Once having fully pulled the paper from the grasp of Pep she closed her eyes as she wished to confine the water welling up. Marceline said with a low voice "Thank you." she attempts to give a weak smile as Peppermint Butler corrects himself as he replies " You have one month" then quickly pivoting to his right and walking away. Marceline stood at the entrance of her now temporary home before slamming the door.

Finn sat down crossing his legs as he continued to read a book with an aged leather cover. Finn read within his head The dark sands of time curse all who cross them.

Finn looked beyond his book to see Jake sleeping within his Shelf bed. Finn smiled as he closed his book then slipping it under his bed. Maybe I should stay here, Maybe there's still something left for me here. Finn Thought as he began to drift off to sleep. Finn dreamed, he dreamed of many things. He dreamed of having his arm back, he dreamed of being happy and living with Huntress wizard. As his dreaming continued a voice began to call to him as he looked into the sky within his dream,but nothing was there. Looking down to see that HW was replaced with Marceline. Finn in utter shock awakens, sprawling awake as he sits up, his breathing still heavy he slowly lays back down as he closes his eyes, feeling the moonlight hit his face. when he hears the voice again "BOO!" Marceline whispers as she floats above him. Finn looks to her with no change. "Hey, Marceline." Finn says. Until suddenly he see Marceline burst into flames as sun rises as he begins to hear to voice of the lich laugh and call out to him "There was once nothing and soon it will be the same boy!" . Finn screams in fear as he actually wakes up. Finn in one motion backflips out of his sleeping bag landing atop his head post. Marceline Laughs maniacally as she hovers above his head. "What have I said about invading my dreams Marcy?" Finn says begrudgingly "sorry Finn I tried waking you up by speaking to you, but it just wasn't working." Marceline replied. "You know you could've just left me alone", "well since you're awake now, how about an adventure of some kind?" "I guess" Finn replied.

Marceline and Finn are two broken animals. It has been some time since either have spent time together. Marceline has never understood why Finn never talks with her.

Marceline looks up as she sees Finn putting his clothes on, she catches a glimpse of his back covered in deep white scars.

***One Year Ago***

Dirt piles upon a massive grave, as we see Finn Shoveling the dirt. Once finishing the burial he stands over it as the sun shines down upon him. The Shadows grow as the sun begins to hide itself behind the horizon. His back torn and bloody, his clothes in tatters and his breathing heavy. Finn falls to his knees sobbing heavily. Not far behind him, his android mother lays against a tree lifeless with injuries that have pierced the robotic shell. Many hours pass, until PB and Marceline arrive with a group of soldiers and medics. They quickly rush to his aid as Marceline stands within the shadows.
