Finn made his decision. Just in time for Marceline and Jake to see. Finn released his grip on the Princess and retracted the sword. He climbed out of the truck, "Don't make me regret my choice." He walked away from the group, heading back for the Tree Fort. Jeff approached the truck and stopped Bubblegum before she left, "Listen Bonibel, if you even try to come after us, Finn won't be the only one after you.". Jeff left with the rest of the group. Finn approached the Tree Fort, his body changing back to normal. His claws retracted, his teeth went back to normal, his sword no longer a part of him, and the armor-like skin changing back to normal. Marceline caught up with him, "Finn?"
"What?"
"It's just...I thought you said you couldn't change. Back there, you showed mercy."
"Well I didn't do it out of the kindness of my heart. I just don't want to give the council another reason to hunt me down."
"Still, maybe you can change."
"We'll see." Finn walked inside the fort and layed down on the couch. The rest of the group came in. "Well, that happened.", Jake said.
"Hey Jeff.", Finn called.
"What?"
"What the fuck was up with you?!"
"I-uh...listen...I'm insane."
"I can tell. But, why did you just freak out then?"
"Well, my powers help it...usually. Sometimes , I lose myself. It's been getting more frequent."
"That could be a problem.", Jake added.
"Let's not focus on that. Jeff, you need to find me a place to hide.", Finn said.
"I've been trying. It's just, I can't...wait!" Jeff had an idea, "I can't believe I didn't think of this before!"
"What is it?"
"The Humanoid Kingdom! I may not be a member of the council anymore, but I'm still the ruler of the kingdom! You can hide there! Marceline, you can visit Finn anytime."
Hunson arrived in Ooo. Azreth's presence was strong. He just had to follow the energy to get to him.
Finn set down his pack on the tavle in front of him. The place wasn't as big as the fort, but it worked. It was set up almost identical to the Tree Fort, except it had two bedrooms, two living rooms, the rooms were more like a normal house, but no place to store any gold. "Well here you go.", Jeff said. "I had to pull a couple strings to get you here, but it's worth it. I had all your stuff moved here and set up like it was in your fort."
"Thanks.", Finn said.
"Don't mention it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a kingdom to run." Jeff left the house for his castle. "Well, it's no Tree Fort, but it'll work.", Jake said.
"I'm gonna take a look at the city.", Finn said. He left the house to look around.
