Finally done with this chapter! Took me forever because of my school schedule!
I know the poem from the beginning wasn´t good and I want it to rhyme, but maybe it will later...

Chapter 5:
Awaken by Sleep
part 1

"Find the place that never was found"

"A mountain right under the nose all the time"

"Finn, are you sure, this is the way?" Jake asks a little nervous, but Finn didn´t answer. He was too busy finding the rose as the Black Rose said was "the source" for Rose Princess's sleep. The words repeat in Finn's mind when Black Rose has given them the hint of where they could find the rose and with Rose Princess's instructions, there are certainly opportunities to save Ooo. Finn looks up at the ghost by his side. He couldn´t imagine how the princess has become. She said she only was a vision of the princess's sleep. Or rather a dream in sleep.

"...Without my rose to wake me, I'm only a sleeping body... and without my magic to bring summer back, Ooo will be nothing but a wasteland devoid of life!"

These words repeat many times in Finn´s head and makes Finn shiver inside, but he promise to her, that he will fix it no matter what. "Yes... I am sure this is the right way..." Finn said finally and scout at the horizon.
While Finn was looking around, he didn´t notice Ice King, who is behind him and follow Finn's gaze. "What are we looking at?" Ice King asks wondering. Finn was frightened andscream like a sissy. He shouted at Ice King that he shouldn´t sneak on him when he concentrates. Ice King retires gives him an sorry-and-chill-out-expression. Finn sighed and retains his eyebrows of irritation. Sometimes he can´t believe he took Ice King with him on this adventure. Before the acient in Candy Kingdom, Ice King was actually hiding all the time. Finn and Jake found him outside the palace, as they were on their way out to save Ooo. They wonder what he was doing there, but Finn quickly calculated that he lurked princesses because he flew over Finn outside the palace gates. But Ice King explained that he saw everything and notices that Rose Princess wasn´t the same princess he met on the meadow.
Finn was relieved that he wasn´t the only one who discovered Black Rose's disguise, but it doesn´t change his anger that he´s been hiding, while his friends were caught in thorn branches. First, Finn doesn´t have Ice King to come with them because he would lower them down, but Rose Princess's ghost convinced him to take him, because he could be something "useful". Finn thought about what Rose Princess said and thought he could be some help, because Ice King helped Finn and Jake to free Princess Bubblegum, who was possessed by the Lich. And so their new adventure began to find the rose, so Rose Princess could wake up and bring life in Ooo before Black Rose takes over the world.
It feels like an eternity to look for a simple mountain. They had been very exhausting to walk, so they stopped to rest. Finn can´t understand where this stupid mountain is. He remembers exactly the poem, Black Rose said, and was the trace to the rose. He peers on the horizon, but the wind was blowing too much for him to look. "Forget it, Finn ... we'll never find it!" Jake whimpered like a whiny puppy. Ice King blows his weary feet, even though he only flew a few times. Finn quickly gave up and sighed deeply. What will happen to Ooo when Rose Princess don´t use her magic to bring summer and life back? Will Rose Princess sleep in all eternity?

"... If I don´t stop her...Ooo will be lost..."

He was thinking about his friends that were imprisoned in Candy Kingdom by the thorns. How will he ever save the day if he can´t even figure out the silly rhyme? Jake got up to comfort the sorrowful Finn with covered face. It was very quiet in the empty countryside and only the wind could be heard. "It´s a bit cold here..." Ice King said to himself. "Your body temperature is ice cold, so what are you complaining over?!" Finn muttered irritated and Ice King shuts his mouth. They sits in silence and Finn has no idea what to do now.

"You know... it's really strange there´s no mountain that´s even exist..." the Ice King said a little puzzled.

Finn gives him a cold gaze, but he has a point. How could they find a mountain that don´t exist in Ooo's world map? Finn stands up and tried to figure out how. He looks all sorts of mountains, but can´t think of anything. "Do you have any ideas how Death Hill is?" He asks the ghost. But the ghost gave him the same gentle gaze and smile. Finn already knew the answer and looks annoyed by givng the same answer, just like the poem.
Then he saw something that seems odd. While he gazes, he stared at the Ice King's crown, where all the ice magic comes from. "What is it?" Jake asks, but Finn was more obsessed by staring at the crown. Ice King was a little awkward on Finn stare and wonders what is so special about the crown. Finn stared at the crown so long, that he discovers something that was in front of him. He pushed Ice King aside and looking puzzled. On the horizon are three pointy mountains and there were a lot of clouds over the mountain tops. Finn could not say a word about the sight of the mountains. He couldn´t believe it was there all the time.

"... The clouds may have hidden it, since no one knows it´s existence..." Jake says in theoretical.

Finn also agreed with Jake's theory, but he took a quick glance at the princess's ghost, but not surprised. "Well... let's go... we have a season to rescue..." Finn muttered and moves towards the mountain. Jake follows him with a nervous, but bold look in the fog. Ice King looks nervous, but follows along anyway to find Rose Princess' heart to save the summer.
Finn, Jake and Ice King were inside the dark cave of Death Hill. It was pitch black in the cave, so Ice King used his ice magic as a torch. They had no clue which way to go, but Jake was smart enough to use his smell after remembering the princess´ smell and stretch his arm to a rope so they can find the way back, but it always ends up that they meet his rubber arm and takes a different path but meets his arm again. "It's like a labyrinth with no end!" Jake grumbled so much that Finn and Ice King almost had to cover their ears. But the road is like a labyrinth, so it's up to Finn to solve the problems, but could hardly think about it.
He checked in every cave and stone walls if there is a secret cave, which they have not discovered. But there is nothing but rocks and disgusting insects. Finn was about to give up, but Rose Princess' ghost encourages him not to give up and they'll have to find it. His heart fills with hope when she encourages him and gives him the hero sense again to find the princess. They searched and searched, but no luck. Jake had stopped complaining and instead obligingly Ice King how the caves look like his rooms and the mountain was bigger than his castle. Then he stepped something sharp and jump in fright. Finn and Jake helped quickly Ice King to sit down. Jake ran his feet and took the thorn. He picked it out carefully, but Ice King moaned as Jake hasn´t picked it out yet.
Finn wanted to find out what it was Ice King has stepped on. He takes a matchbox, the light shows on and he searchs on the stone floor. Finn saw a bit surprised when he sees a thorn branch move like a snake. He heard the Ice King screams, as the thorn was removed. He calls on them to see what he has found. "Isn´t it the same thorns from the castle?" Jake asks superior. Finn nodded in reply and looking quickly at the ghost. She looks a little scared, but he decides to follow the thorn branchs which might show them the way.

They have walked like hours to see a light at the end. Finn was almost blinded by it, but continues on. They came to the light and they saw in the mix of surprised and amazed there are a lot of thorns around the cave. At the top of the bramble there is the rose which was Rose Princess' "heart". Finn observes thorns and thinks about how they can get to the rose. Jake also thinks and got an idea, he suggested that he just could stretch up to the top and take it. Finn thinks it sounds simple and a good idea, but they should also remember the thorns are alive and able to poke Jake. They´re thinking through this, but was out of ideas.
They looked at Ice King, who just do nothing but makes small ice figures from boredom. Finn got an idea and said to Jake and the Ice King to listen to his idea. The plan assumes that Ice King makes an armor of ice. Then Jake stretches his body towards the top and Ice King protects them from the thorns, if they attack them. They´re into this, but still don´t get what Finn was doing with this ice armor. Jake stretched as much as he can and Ice King accompanies them. When they were over the thorns, there was a thorn branch that moved and went to attack. Ice King freeze one, but there was more than ever. Finn swung his sword in all directions, and before he could react the thorn branches, it hits Finn. But its thorn was five centimes drilled into the ice armor. Finn chops the tree branch above and breathed relieved that the plan worked.
They were almost to the top and with one blow of a long thorn the red rose light up. Finn, Jake and Ice King looks so impressed by it and could not say a word about it. Ice King was about to take the rose, but Finn slapped his hand from it and believe it could be a trap. He stretched his arm made of ice to be safe. He could feel his arm shaking of uncertainty, but keep courage in himself and grabs the rose. He shut his eyes, but nothing happens. "Everything is fine..." Finn muttered to the other and asks Ice King to freeze a shield around the flower. Ice King did as he was said and freeze the flower almost to the ice on Finn's chest. "Ew! I can hear the pump in the armor," Jake complained of disgust. "That's my heart, you're talking about," the ghost replied insulted. Jake smiled awkwardly, but they must hurry before the thorns attacks. Jake stretchs elastic back, so Finn could put his feet on the ground and they sprinted out of the cave. Ice King calls for them towait for him.

"You know... this mission was easier than we thought!" shouts the floating Ice King to them. "Yes maybe, but we never know what's coming on the way," Jake shouts back.

Jake has a point. Who knows what´s awaits them on their rescue mission. And how many tricks Black Rose has in her sleeves…
