Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time this is just a story for fun.

The four travelers entered the castle. They soon found themselves in a courtyard where they found a zen guardian full of skulls. There was a figure with a skull for a head working in the guardian with a plow. He wore white and grey clothes in a style similar to a farmer.

"Whose that?" Asked Marceline.

"Death." Answered Finn.

They cautiously approached Death. Death whirled around to face them with his plow raised high!

"Who dares trespass on my property?!" He roared.

He then saw Finn and Jake and recognized them. He lowered his plow.

"We'll if it isn't Peppermint Butler's friends. What brings you here? Did you kill another plant?" Said Death.

"Nope." Said Jake.

"Were here on a quest to help a friend. We're looking for the Sphere of Spirits. Can you tell use where it's at?" Said Finn.

"May I ask which one of your friends needs to use the sphere?" Asked Death.

"I do." Said Simon.

Death stepped up and faced him.

"I must look into your mind to see if your worthy to use the sphere." Said Death.

"Do what you must. You have my permission." Said Simon.

"Very well." Death touched Simon's head with both his hands and looked deep into his eyes.

Death started going through Simon's memories. He saw Simon relationship with Betty, his first contact with the crown slowly turning him into the mad Ice King, Simon raising and protecting Marceline, Simon working together with Finn, Jake, and Marceline to defeat the evil villain know as Iceen, and lastly Simon finding Betty's old diary. Death let go of Simon and gave him a warm smile.

"Your an interesting one. You faced many challenges in your life and you did many good deeds. I'm impressed with the love you and Betty still have for one another. I rarely see that now a days. You are worth to use the Sphere of Spirits." Said Death.

He reached into his pocket and gave Finn a map to the Sphere of Spirits.

"That map will lead you right to the sphere, but be warned there have been many evil spirits lurking about recently causing trouble and attacking people." Said Death.

"Thanks." Said Finn.

Simon bowed his head and shook Death's head.

"Thank you so much!" Said Simon.

"Your welcome. The love you share with Betty is an impressive thing to behold. I rarely get to see a love so pure. Best of luck to you on your journey." Said Death.

"Thanks again." Said Simon as he and the others left.

Death went back to tending his garden, wondering how the travelers journey would turn out.

To be continued.
