The flame on his head is crackling loudly with his teeth clenched and eyes menacingly staring at Cake. "You tried to kill me!" he accused and lifted his hands to form fireballs, but Flare knocks him down by pouncing on his stomach. One of the fireballs was shot in the air, hitting the ceiling, causing it to come down upon Fi and Cake. Cake quickly shields Fionna from the falling and burning wood.

"Your Majesty, stop!" pleaded Flare while Flame Prince rubs the back of his head from the fall. "These people saved you and-"

"They tried to kill me," he growls and stood up looking at the rubble where Fi crawls out while holding Cake. "Enemies should be punished without mercy," he repeats what his mother has told him and began preparing one fireball in his right hand. He sees Fi flinch while clutching Cake closely with both her arms.

He pauses and for once in his life he hesitates in whether to attack or not. The flames he held in his hand disappears and he shamelessly looks down. Fionna opens her eyes and stares at Flame Prince for a while, knowing he won't attack she slowly stands up. A few minutes of silence passed until Flame Prince utters, "I'm leaving."

"Ah!" Fionna watches him turn into a streak of fire and make his way out from the hole he left in the ceiling. "Wait!" she yells to the night sky and then runs to the window where she can see a pathway of flames burning on the grass. The next decision she made she would have to decide if it is out of desparacy or something more.

She chases after him.

No weapons.

No Cake.

Just her alone with her aching heart taking lead to wherever she is going.

She sprints in the direction of the flames, leading to the forest, there she lost him. No flames made an indication of where he walked leaving Fionna to trust in finding him herself.

...

He was lost, alone with his own thoughts for once. And...they are torturing him. Whether they are his own or not, he can not differentiate between them. His mind is made to think like his mother, how she taught him, what she told him, and most importantly, how to survive.

"You are a fire element. You are pure destruction, making you purely evil. You are destined to become evil, my son."

She repeated this statement over and over every single day to him. He never objected to it because he just took it in and never thought about it. He never smiled, he never laughed, he never cried, nor had any friends inside his glass prison. That lamp was his home, and the only place he stayed in.

The only question he asked was, "Why must I stay in here?"

Her response was, "Because you're pure destruction."

So when she told him that they were going outside to take over a village he felt excited for once. Not for causing destruction, but for taking a step into another world where he was kept away for so long. He understood why now, why he is "pure destruction," why he was kept inside the glass lamp for ages...he would be causing chaos to innocent people such as that girl.

He sits on a rock next to a large puddle with posies littering around the pool of water. "I don't know her name," he doesn't understand why this upsets him a little. He attempts to pick up one of the flowers and instead it lights up on fire right when he laid a finger on the petal.

A simple task can not even be done without something being destroyed by him. What if she is like this flower?

Frustration enters his mind and in anger he begins to leave as the other posies get lit on fire from the first one. Flame Prince couldn't believe how much he longed to escape his home, because there is no reason to stay in this world if his only ability is to burn it down. In his mind, he is dangerous and should get away.

"Flame Prince!" he had only walked a few meters from the burning posies before he heard his name called. In his view is the girl he left behind, she is panting, sweating and still had a determined look in her eyes. "W-Wait..."

He takes one more step and winces to an ice-cold feeling on his foot. He stepped into snow...meaning...

A cackle is heard and Flame Prince looks up, seeing a woman with long white hair, a large blue dress, light blue skin and a cold, evil stare. When they met eyes she swoons over to him and leans in so close that he can see her sharp teeth being shown off with her smile. She reaches to touch his face and he backs away, but the snow makes him fall back.

"How rare, a new face, and a handsome one," her smile increases and her grin went from ear to ear. Her attention turns toward the mentally and physically exhausted girl, "Fionna!" she growls. "Why are you always taking all the babes to yourself?!"

"Ice Queen, leave him alone or I'll kick your butt like I did so many other times!" Fi reaches for her sword in her bag. Nothing, she forgot to pack.

Ice Queen laughed harder and looks down at Flame Prince who is confused and too shocked from the situation that he didn't move from his place. "I'll take you up at my palace, later," she winks and he shivers, "First I'll take care of this little parasite!"

Ice bolts came flying from the villainess' hands straight down to Fionna who had nothing to do but dodge as much as she can. Seeing that that didn't work Ice Queen flies straight down to Fionna with her hands ready to pin her to the ground. Fi holds hers out and a burst of cold air shakes through the forest. Flame Prince closes his eyes as the air makes him shake, when he opens his eyes he sees Ice Queen above Fionna who is on her knees.

With the last bit of strength she has she tried her best keeping Ice Queen from pinning her down. "Why do all the princes like you? A tomboy! Why don't they like someone like me? Someone more lady-like!" hisses Ice Queen.

"B-Because," she is pushed down a little, but a tiny bit of energy forces her to continue pushing forward. "You try to kidnap them and force them to marry you!" Fionna gasps when she sees ice covering her hands and the chill of it starts traveling bit by bit up her arms. "What are you doing?!"

"Finishing you," smirks Ice Queen. Fionna shuts her eyes when she felt her shoulders turn numb, but a piercing shriek changes her mind. Ice Queen's cold fingers unlocked from hers and she can see the woman trying to put the fire on her hair out. "My beautiful hair!" she continues to shriek.

Fionna collapses on her side seeing that she is frozen from her hands to her shoulders. She shakes from the chill and looks up to see Flame Prince's back and a sword made by his own flames being held in his right hand. After Ice Queen is done rolling in the snow she glares at him and then giggles, "Are we going to get 'hot' up in here now?"

Flame Prince is not amused and points his sword towards her, blasting flames towards her. She continues to cackle madly and throws ice bolts at his flames, making steam between them. Ice Queen stops laughing when the steam clears, showing Flame Prince and Fionna gone. "Urgh! That rotten, stinking-" she stomps on the ground and continues muttering out of her frustration while heading back up to her palace.
