Finn follows behind his girlfriend in slight discomfort with his boner as she leads the way, the nymph smirking as she holds her gift for Finn still. She spins to face him, "Had fun with Sarah?" He blushes and glances away,
"... So how did the talk with Marshall Lee go?" She giggles,
"Don't change the topic, and don't forget, I don't mind~" His blush deepens, and he speeds up his walk to kiss her on the lips, the nymph leaning forward a little to progress it further but Finn had moved away, making her gain her own blush. He smirks at, then shifts his gaze away,
"Well… I think I did? I don't know, I felt… weird… and my dick is acting up, hasn't done that in years." Huntress grins at his lack of education, at how he has lost his touch to his normal, natural life and reactions, 'I'll remind him though~' She is brought back to the world when Finn shakes his head, "So what's with you girls and wanting me to lick your buns? Seriously, both you and Sarah have asked me to do it."
Huntress Wizard laughs, the cute quiet one that makes Finn's heart pump as it threatens to explode at her cuteness, but much to his disappointment she quickly ends it, "You'll find out Finn, you'll find out~" He sighs at her un-answering answer, then stares into her cat eyes, mesmerised by their slight green glow,
"Well, whatever the reason, you both really seem to want me to do it, so I'm willing to do it for you." She blushes, then smirks,
"Oh you have no idea what you just said or what's it about." He cocks his head in confusion, making her shake her head in an attempt not to laugh at his cuteness, "So, when she told you to lick, where did you lick?" She inquires curiously, making Finn shrug,
"Her cheeks. They were covered in cake and she told me to eat it up. I didn't want to get a mouth full of clothing so I didn't lick her panties, what was apparently wrong because she then removed them and asked me to lick her… crotch? Anyways, you came in before we could do anymore." She smirks,
"Sorry for blue balling you Ice Queen." Finn raises an eyebrow,
"Blue… balling?" She giggles,
"Don't worry about it Finn… even though I just did it to you…" She mutters the last bit, making Finn groan in confusion,
"Why aren't you girls telling me these things!?" Huntress fails to hold it in at his reaction, and laughs once more, instantly calming Finn as he can't help but smile softly at her. When she recovers from her three seconds of laughter, she returns back to being her stoic self, just with a grin on her face as her hand snakes towards Finn's.
He grasps it as he walks faster a little, bringing them both in line with one another as they stroll towards the mansion's exit, holding each other's hands. They blush a little more, and enjoy the moments of silence together, until Finn glances at his girlfriend with a curious smile, "So, how was the party? I doubt you've ever been to one with royals before, have you?" She sighs,
"No, I haven't, other than the times at your party and in the gumwar war base. And those times don't count for a royal meeting or party. The only one I had that was a proper royal party was with you when Gumball publicly apologised for starting the war with us, and we didn't talk with anyone, just raided the food." Finn nods,
"Right." She glances away,
"Well… living close to nature with the traditions of my people, as a wizard in a mad city, and a lone wolf in the woods never really taught me how to… act, in front of a royal or any posh situation really." She explains, suffering from a flash back, making Finn shake his head,
"Oh boy, so what happened?" She sighs,
"I… threatened a bunch of princes to leave my area of space by hissing at them, and I refused to shake anyone's hands… oh, and when they started talking posh, I just replied in lazy common tongue." Finn chuckles,
"Ah don't sweat it, the princesses back in OOO weren't too big on formalities." She shrugs,
"True, but that might have been because they were friends with you… or scared of you." He raises an eyebrow,
"You think people are scared of me?" "Probably, though mostly just bandits and such, they are the ones most scared of you. Although Fionna..." She then suddenly shakes her head, clearing her thoughts as she snaps her gaze to him and grin, "But enough of that talk, what about you? How did you enjoy the party?" He beams at her, squeezing her hand,
"I actually enjoyed it a lot, it was a nice break away from everything, I got some sweet new stuff, a lot of princes were friendly and even wanted to start some bridges by offering some work." She smirks,
"I see, I'm glad you had fun at the party hero~" They finally exit the mansion doors, the duo taking a moment to look over the railings on the bridge to stare at the icy environment. Then Huntress stares Finn's in the eyes, and wears a small grin, "Come on, I've got something to show you, because in case you have forgotten…" She smirks, "... It's date night~"
He beams and leans forward, quickly planting a kiss on her plump lips, "I haven't forgotten, I could never forget about you." She smiles sweetly, then puts Finn's gift on the floor as she begins to shapeshift, Finn stepping back to give her space as she transforms into an animal of the wild.
A few seconds later, she fully transforms into a huge bird, causing her to release an ear shattering screech, yet Finn only grins. He leaps onto her shoulder and uses the momentum to flip forward onto her back, settling down on Huntress like Bubblegum does to The Evening.
The humongous bird flaps her wings, whipping up air before her claws gently grasp Finn's present, then she takes into the air, shooting over the edge of the bridge. They dive towards the ground, Huntress squinting as she judges the distance, flicking her gaze to Finn for a second to discover him beaming away.
She smirks despite having a beak, 'Finn is no coward, he isn't scared by any danger, men, beast, demons, or gods. He would be a good hunting partner, he is a good hunting partner! And he's my hunting partner~ He's my boyfriend~'
She snaps her wings out, air resistance thumping into her as she soars over the spiky miny mountains beneath her. She glides at high speeds, heading straight for the ice people's work door, shooting out the massive hole as Billy the guard waves at them. The couple rocket through the sky, swiftly gaining altitude before levelling off a bit below cloud level, Finn grinning as he peers over the edge. Below him was the world, all the happy little trees, the flowing rivers, the busy Joe and Josephine, the unmovable boulders. He beams at it all as he enjoys the calm summer's day, eyes glancing over all the colours, however, his gaze begins to drift to Huntress.
He smirks, 'Nothing can beat this view, even if she is a bird right now!' The former nymph suddenly squawks as a warning, before flapping her wings again, boosting them forward as she begins to dive once more. Using the momentum of the fall to her advantage, she uses it to propel herself forward at high speeds, Finn laughing on her back as they rocket through the sky.
They swiftly shoot over the Candy Kingdom and go beyond it until they hit an incredibly large forest, the duo smirking in recognition as Finn speaks aloud, "This is where I met you, this is your forest!" She coos, signalling he was correct as he grins, hurriedly jabbing a finger out to his left, "There! That's the river I was bathing in when you threatened to shove an arrow up my nose!" She snaps her eagle eyes to it, then immediately turns to it, making a straight beeline for it as Finn flails at the sudden turn, keeping his grip before whooping.
They dive towards the river, Huntress angling herself to fly down the streams, before doing just that, soaring over the river as the water flows calmly below them. Unfortunately they had to be high above it due to Huntress's wing span, so she wouldn't clip a wing on the towering trees, meaning Finn couldn't run his hands over the water surface. But still, simply seeing the stream filled them both with pleasant memories, and they both grin away, Finn hugging closer to her current bird form.
Then she spreads her wings wide while throwing forward her lower half, slowing their flight to a halt as she hovers above the river. Of course her type of bird can't hover, so they drop from the sky, Huntress shifting back to her normal humanoid self as she wraps both her legs around him with a smug smile. She flings out both arms while her cape becomes a vine, both hands guiding the green rope deep into the forest, and swiftly into some sturdy trees. They tighten immediately, and with her legs still wrapped around Finn's waist, they both snap to halt above the river, the couple twinging as the momentum is shaken out.
Finn groans a little at the sudden halt, but then chuckles at Huntress, glancing over his shoulder to the river stream just below them. Then he brings his gaze back to the nymph, before smirking as he wrapped his arms around her chest and brought himself up face to face with her. They both instinctively kiss each other, making out above the river in which they first met, their tongues wrestling with one another inside their mouths, given complete privacy by their connected lips.
After a few seconds, they break it off, both of them recovering some lost breath as they stare into each other's eyes. Then the hero glances around, and chuckles, causing the nymph to raise an eyebrow, "What's so funny?" He smirks cheekily at her,
"So… how do we get down onto dry land?" He inquires, making her blink then glance around. They were suspended above the river completely in the middle, with no island or stepping stones for them to land on without getting wet. She stares at the ends of the vines in her hand, then grunts with effort as she yanks on them, using her magic to grow them together, yet also remaining taught enough to keep them suspended. Eventually, she is able to bring the ends together, and with a burst of her magic, grow the ends together, making the two vines whole.
She then smirks at Finn, before suddenly spinning on the rope, flinging her bottom half up above the vine, practically doing a handstand with Finn wrapped between her legs. Trusting her, he lets her do what she needs to do, which is apparently launching him into the sky, the hero getting thrown upwards while she does a flip on the vine, letting go as she goes in the air as well.
She lands on her feet, balancing on the thin material, before then sticking her arms out as she watches Finn fall back down with a smirk. He lands in her outstretched arms, the nymph catching her prey while remaining completely balanced on the vine, not struggling as her skills of agility is shown off in full. Finn lays in her hands bridal stands the couple grin at each other, before Huntress carefully shifts him, moving him towards her back. He immediately understands, and flips onto her, riding her piggyback style as she bends over forward, just like they did when they hunted grumbo.
With a roll of her neck, she bursts forward, darting across the thin wire with her heavy load without a single sign of struggling as they head towards dry land. They swiftly arrive over the bank, and they both jump, Finn launching off his girlfriend as she flips off the long rope. Finn lands with a heavy thump, and rises unflinchingly, while Huntress lands with silent grace, standing up tall and proud just as quietly. The nymph glances up to stare at the vine that was her cape, before shifting her gaze to the neighbouring trees.
Walking up to one, she quickly scales it with ease by simply using her nymph magic, making her feet stick to the wood before walking up its form. Then, reaching out she grabs the line, before with a burst of magic absorbing it back into her cape, completing her clothes. Finally, she leaps off the tree with a smirk, landing before Finn again. He claps as she stands up with a massive grin, doing mocking bows before straightening herself out, brushing some dirt off her clothes, "You remember me making you immune to electricity?" He nods,
"To hunt the Thunder Boar, yeah. Why?" She grins at him,
"Well, I did it there because the spring is one used for powerful spells, an enchanted giant puddle if you will. Follow me, there's something I want to show you." With that she spins around, before bursting into a sprint, rushing through the trees while Finn swiftly joins her. They dash through the foliage of the forest, Huntress smirking at Finn as she watches him keep up, 'You're the only one who ever has. You'll definitely be a great hunting partner, especially when we need to gather food for-.' She blushes as she imagines the future, before focusing back on the task.
In no time at all, they arrive at the enchanted lake in which Finn had dreamed of the Spirit of the Forest, and had earned his permanent immunity to electricity. They squat before the water's edge, Huntress peering into the calm pool of liquid while Finn stares at her in confusion, "So, what have you got planned?" She gains a small grin as her hands touch the water, and glow with magic,
"I'm going to show you the world through my eyes, that of a wizard, a huntsman, a forest nymph, and watcher of the forest. I've had it all my life, but I heard it mesmerises those who have never seen it before, a way of thank you from my people to those who help us." She suddenly cups the water and brings up her hands, the hero finding it filled with glowing green water that she then presents to him. He blinks, before leaning forward,
"Sounds cool." He says as a way of consent, trusting she knows what she is doing and that she wasn't trying to kill him with radioactive poison as he closes his eyes. She tilts her hands and he calmly sips the glowing water up, the nymph grinning as she glances around, 'A nice calm day, pleasantly warm, good memories, birds singing, light hitting us comfortably, a peaceful environment, and my loving boyfriend… how can this get any better?' Finn finally drinks the last of the water from her cupped hands, making her calmly separate them and shake them dry, waiting for him to open his eyes so she may see his reaction.
They open wide, and immediately dart around, his jaw going slightly slack as his eyebrows rise, causing Huntress to giggle, "Well?" He remains silent for a few seconds, processing what he can see and hear before him,
"... Whoa." To him, his colour blind view of the world has drastically changed. All around him was whispering, confusing and creeping him out for a second until he realised they were coming from the plants around him. The forest was talking to him. He reaches out towards the nearest tree, and stares at its changed form, the once rough texture of the crack and bumps of bark were now cracks that glowed with green magic. Runes and symbols seem to be randomly planted on the foliage around him, and he reaches out for the one on the tree before him. The moment his hands touch it, the whispers get silenced, except one, coming from the tree before him, a woman's voice that sounds like Huntress's,
"Welcome syudjakah." He blinks, then removes his hand from the tree,
"... Was that just you?" She shakes her head with a smile, "No, but we can talk like that." He raises an eyebrow,
"What do you mean? And what does… syudjakah mean?" She smirks,
"Well I can kill two birds here, touch me and you'll get both your answers." Confused, he follows her order, and gently touches her forehead, the nymph grasping his hand with both of hers tenderly as she gains a smile, 'What I meant Finn, is we can talk with our thoughts, and syudjakah means seedling, or sprout. The tree was welcoming you to being part of the forest.' Finn's mouth gapes,
"Whoa!" She smirks,
'Finn you can do it too for a while, at least while this spell is in effect.'
'Wait seriously?'
'Yep.' Suddenly a warm feeling filled him, a familiar one that he himself was feeling, yet as if a second one was there, a duplicate warmth that fills his form. A second emotion of joy and satisfaction. He blinks, and raises an eyebrow,
'What am I feeling?' She blushes a little,
'... My emotions probably, it's how I can tell nature is scared or injured because I can feel it.' He chuckles,
'Well, at least I know what you're feeling under that stoic expression now!' She grins at his joke, then leans forward, Finn reading her thoughts and grinning as they quickly kiss, before parting as Finn beams at her, 'You know, this could come in handy in knowing whenever you want a kiss~'
She blushes but nods, then closes her eyes. Finn raises an eyebrow in confusion as she pulls his hand a little firmer against her face, 'What are you doin-'
"Chu~" Finn blushes at the cute noise, the nymph taking a quick sniff of his scent, and grins, before pulling his hand off and letting go. She smirks with a blush on her face at her sudden cute boldness, "Sorry, I just wanted to see what you reaction would be!... You have a good smell." She informs, while Finn blinks,
"... And you have a cute side." She shrugs with a small grin,
"I usually keep all things like that hidden, but I can't seem to do it around you. If I didn't know you didn't have the brains, I would say you put me under some spell."
"Hey! I have a brain…" She giggles, causing him to chuckle and glance around, listening to the forest once more, to stare at the glowing cracks in the bark. He shifts his gaze sky bound, and discovers lights gently glowing over head, his nymph girlfriend spotting his change in focus and glances at them as well,
"... They're beautiful. I think." She snaps her gaze back to him, "I don't know actually, the fairies of the forest have always been here, so I'm completely used to them." He nods,
"Yeah, they're beautiful, don't worry… they're just like you." He turns his head back down to beam at her, "This was nice, thank you. It's nice knowing more about your world, what life is like for you." She blushes, then shifts next to him before promptly snuggling up to him, the couple leaning on each other as they watch the fairies of light dance above them,
"And it's always nice to have you in my life." He sighs,
"How long does this last?" She shrugs,
"A few hours."
"... That's a shame." Huntress blinks, then stares at Finn in silence for a few seconds.
"... I think there is a way to make it permanent." He snaps his head to her, raising an eyebrow,
"Seriously?" She nods,
"Yeah, a little ritual I got to do at the pond, but do you really want to do it?"
He shifts his gaze away, staring at his hands instead of the beautiful view around him that could slew his opinion, "... I don't know. What's the benefits and negatives?" She shrugs, glancing away awkwardly,
"I don't know, I never not had this vision. Only you know what you have gained and lost. Probably privacy, the trees will practically always be whispering, you'll never get a moment's thought in peace and quiet unless you leave the forests. What there's a lot in AAA." He continues to stew in his thought, his mind becoming a storm of theories and what ifs.
He glances at Huntress, "Yet I get to be closer to you, but at the same time I will likely gain some responsibilities." She shrugs,
"Not too many responsibilities, actually it's practically the same as what we're already doing, you know, no over hunting, no damaging the forest, protect the forest against harm. The only thing I can say is… well, I don't really know what will happen. I mean, you could become part forest nymph, or have plants grow off you. Heck, you might even be able to do basic forest magic, or at least find it easier to learn." She spit balls, truly speaking about having no idea what will happen if she did the ritual. It won't likely be anything major, like transforming him into a forest nymph, but she still has no idea what the symptoms will be.
In the end, Finn simply sighs, "... Want to touch again, and feel each other's emotions? Get to know our true feelings on this?" She nods,
"Sometimes to figure something out, you need a new perspective. Let me look at your emotions from another view." With her consent, they reach out for one another, clasping both their hands together and holding them at chest level, and close their eyes.
The whispers of the forest fade away. The thoughts of their loves fill their heads. Emotions pour into their bodies, melding together. They remain in complete silence.
Then Huntress grins, and opens her eyes, "Ready to see the world from the view of the forest nymph permanently?" He smirks,
"Don't try to act so cool, I saw into your mind as well. You want me as part of your world as possible." She blushes, then stands up, heading over to the powerful enchanted spring,
"Give me a minute, I need to do some spells in preparation."
"No prob bob." He answers, before using the opportunity to glance around at the world once more, taking in the glow of magic, of life, coursing through everything. "So, is this what huntress vision looks like?" His girlfriend shakes her head,
"No, when I use huntress vision, the magic glows dim so they're less distracting, and my vision in general improves, as in I'm able to see in greater detail. And when I actually meet an enchanted or magic item, the ruins used to make the spell glow before me. Of course, if I don't know what the ruins mean, then I don't know what the enchantment does."
Then she suddenly grunts as she stands up, then grabs her wooden antler atop her head. Then with a slight grimace, breaks a small chunk of it off, the top becoming a spikey splinter mess as she holds the bit of broken wood in her hand. Finn swiftly stood up and was by her side, wrapping an arm around her in soothing comfort. Of course, he then felt her pain, making him grimace, 'Oh that hurts!' The nymph struggles in her grasp,
'Then let me go you doofus, I don't want you in pain for me.' However, the hero keeps an iron hug on her,
'I'm willing to take it… this pain is pretty bad though, and you're not even flinching! You are hard meat!' She smirks a little, feeling his emotions of joy and worry for her as she shakes her head and drops her broken antler in the water as her pain begins to fade away.
Immediately it begins to glow, causing the nymph to aim her hand at it, the limb glowing with magic, 'Silent like the hunt, I complete this ritual, let another join our tribe, let him become kin in our grand family spawned by the mother of nature.' Symbols appear on the water surface, glowing bright green in some unspeakable language, until they gently fade from existence. Huntress sighs, 'I can sense the hesitation in you Finn, you don't have to do this if you don't want to, I'll love as much as ever.'
He lets go of her, and crawls towards the water, "But I want to, I want to be as part of your world as possible." He peers into it, "I guess I drink it again?"
"Yes, you ingest the water if you really want to do this." He sits on his legs, then leans down and scoops the glowing water up, listening to the forest whispering to him, chanting at him to join them. He closes his eyes and remembers Huntress's smiling face, 'I want to be as close as possible. This may be a tad too soon, but I don't care, doing stupid things is part of love.' With that, he begins gulping down the enchanted liquid.
Huntress tenses behind him, watching him in worry, and ready to leap in the moment things start to deteriorate, encase the spell does something retched to her love. But he succeeds in drinking it all, only droplets remaining in his cupped hands as they go to rest by his side. Then he shivers, Huntress immediately rushing to his side as she checks him. There was no visible change. Finn suddenly sighs, "That… that did something alright. I… have no idea what, but it did something." He opens his eyes and glances around, "Everything is still here, so it didn't change the spell…" Huntress shakes her head,
"Like I said, I have no idea if there's any side effects, so unfortunately, our best hope is just to watch for symptoms of unwanted change." The hero nods, then stares at her, putting his hands on her shoulder before resting his forehead against hers. The world becomes silent for them, and they hear nothing but each other's thoughts and feelings, a whisper coming from Finn,
'... I love you.'
Immediately Huntress throws him to the ground and pounces atop him, startling the poor human as she climbs completely atop him. She smashes her lips against his as they fall into a make out session, the couple kissing each other as the emotions of excitement, satisfaction, and lust gets shared between them. Huntress remains on top, kissing her boyfriend while pinning his limbs down, taking complete control as she expresses her joy in his decision. That is until he suddenly shifts, and spins them, this time him being on top while she is pressed underneath him, Finn smirking as he continues the make out. However, not one to be dominated unless she says so, Huntress breaks the kiss and wrestles back for control, leading to them rolling on the ground as one tries to get atop the other.
They giggle in joy as they attempt to fight for control, they simply couldn't help it with their euphoric feelings for one another, they just couldn't help but love each other. They end panting on the dirt floor, laying next to one another as they wear massive grins, Huntress turning to face Finn, "Thank you, for going so far to join my world… our lives are practically intertwined now, there's no separating us." Finn beams as he turns to face her as well,
"You know what? That doesn't sound too bad~" He glances at the glowing bark of the trees around him again, then stares up at the orbs of light that were the fairies, "So this is what the world looks like to you? Full of bright lights in the sky and glowing bark?" She shakes her head,
"Nah, only in forests and woods. Buildings and dead vegetation have no light glow, they always seem so dull. And it usually isn't this bright as well, or the sky having this many fairy lights, that's just because we're by the enchanted spring. Once we move out and away from here, it will all dim to an acceptable level, and there will only be the occasional fairy light above a forest, and the bark will dim." He nods in understanding, then reaches out for Huntress.
Suddenly a barrage of screams filled the air, pained and fearful screeches coming from the trees all around them as they spring to their feet in shock. Finn glances around in fear, "What the-!?"
"Sshh!" Huntress swiftly silents him, her eyes flicking to the trees. Then she turns to face, "A large beast is tearing up part of the forest. We have to protect it, come on!" She darts away, Finn scrambling behind her as he attempts to catch up, rushing beside her,
"How did you know that!" She leaps between two trees before glancing at him, "The trees told me, you couldn't understand that?" He shakes his head,
"No, there were too many speaking at once!" She leaps on his shoulders, squatting atop him as he continues to charge,
"Hmm, I am used to them speaking all at once so I've gotten good at picking out what I need. It's something you'll need to get used to if you wish to join me properly." She smirks as she leaps off him, "After all, I've been a hero with you, so you'll have to be a watcher for me!" She yells as she lands before him and sprints, not halting for a second, making Finn smirk,
"Of course! We share our burdens! Your tasks and responsibilities become mine as well!" The nymph beams, 'I knew I made the right choice.' A loud howl suddenly fills the air, threatening to blow their ears as they wince and glance ahead. It was a humongous fire wolf, like the one cinnamon bun rides on, covered in flames bursting from its form. And it was right at the edge of a flammable forest.
Huntress Wizard swiftly swoops in action, launching three arrows before the wolf as it jumps back in shock, the nymph landing silently in front of it, swiftly chucking the Crivingnuh box to the floor behind her. Finn rushes in as well, his hand reaching for his sword. What was in their bedroom.
He curses himself, then thinks about his quiver on his back, 'Got no bow or arrows, but it does have a picture I don't want shattered.' He swiftly takes it off as he jogs by his girlfriend's side, placing it to rest against a tree before focusing back on the task.
Or more accurately the wolf and woman who were currently growling at each other.
They were standing each other off, glaring into one another's eyes, the beast wishing to crush the pest in its way, and the watcher who's about to defend her land. Huntress summons her three arrows back, ripping them up from the grass ground bordering the forest to hover over her head. She growls out in a deep, aggressive voice, "Do not approach this forest, you are nothing but a threat to it. If you wish to proceed to inflict harm to my home, then proceed to your fate."
She warns, the huge flaming wolf snarling, Finn quickly getting into a stance besides her, "This doesn't make sense, why would a wolf be this far from the fire kingdom?" She glances at him,
"Later." However, the moment her eyes left her foe, it leapt at her. Finn goes wide eyed and leaps before her, 'Shield!' Immediately the light blue rectangular shield appears from his arm as he holds his arm up defensively.
The beast slams into him, and all its momentum is instantly removed. Its claws dig at the energy protecting the hero, unable to get through despite its strength and weight. Huntress wastes no time in punishing their attacker, leaping over Finn with her arrows flying. They slam into the wolf's joints, locking them in place as she lunges onto its face. Immediately its jaws open to snap her up as a quick meal but a punch to the eye swiftly stops it.
She glares as she rips her skinning knife off her leg, then stabs it right in its jaw, the beast howling in pain. It rears off Finn, pulling its claws off his shield as they go to scratch Huntress, causing Finn to scowl. Not on his watch.
He jumps forward with his shield, bashing the beast in the gut hard enough to stun it, looking down in confusion. Finn grimaces, 'The shield stopping momentum is two way. It'll stop attacks, but also means I can't barge anyone.' The wolf begins to bring its paws down upon him, planning to crush the human. Until it gets head-butted in the gut.
It yelps as it gets winded, Finn hurriedly rushing back so as to not get crushed by its falling body. He glares at the stunned flaming wolf as it crashes to the ground, and swiftly punches it right in the snout, then again, and again. Huntress joins in on the barrage, leaping off while summoning her five arrows back to life, yanking them out its molten body. Then, she launches them at its head.
Suddenly its mouth opens and a roar of fire shoots out, washing over her arrows. Luckily, it wasn't strong enough to incinerate them, but it was strong enough to stop them, flinging them backwards before they flop to the floor slightly singed. Huntress merely scowls, and summons her green spear, "Alright then."
She pulls it back over her shoulder, before lobbing it like a javelin, the spear whistling through the air. It slams into the wolf at its back leg, making it yelp in pain, Finn quickly exploiting it by grabbing the stuck weapon while deactivating his shield.
With a grunt of effort, he begins to lift the huge wolf, the beast wiggling atop the weapon as the hero grimaces. Yet with a yell he lifts it high over his head, then slams the beast back down to the ground, smashing it into the earth with no mercy. Five burnt arrows fly over his head and slam into the wolf's gut so hard it sends it flying off the spear.
It whimpers in pain, then growls aggressively as it begins to push itself up, glaring at the annoying duo. They scowl back just as hard. It charges as Huntress suddenly yells at Finn, "Let's end this!" The hero nods and rushes head first into the danger, summoning his shield back.
He slams into the wolf, halting it completely in its tracks as Huntress leaps atop Finn. Using him as a launch pad, she jumps onto the wolf's back, snapping her arm our to summon her spear back from the ground. She spins to face the head, only to discover it heading straight for her.
Yet, before it could strike her, Finn swiftly scales the beast, and just barely leaps in front of its head in time. The jaws of the wolf slam into the shield, the attack being completely nullified as Huntress prepares to attack. The beast then attempts to breathe fire.
Immediately the nymph squats behind Finn as flames flood over them, a safe zone being made by the hero's new barrier. Of course, they were now touching one another, Finn smirking, 'I like this shield.'
'Yeah, me too.' The flames continue, the wolf apparently not knowing when to give up as Finn clicks his tongues,
'Sooo… how's things going?'
'Pretty alright actually, you see, I had an amazing date with my boyfriend-'
'Wait, boyfriend? You're getting bold! Also, this is a good date to you?' She blushes, and closes up for a second, but fortunately returns,
'Yes… but yeah, this date is a good one in my books. I mean, we were able to get so much closer! And he fell even more in love with my life!' He chuckles,
'Yeah, I-'
The flames stop and immediately they both scream war cries as Finn presses his shield against the beast's teeth, while Huntress leapt in with the spear. Her eyes lock onto her prey, her magic ripping her arrows free of its gut as they too shoot for the head. All her blows hit at once, shredding the beast's skull while Finn's shield had kept it distracted. A bloody, gory mess is the result as her spear pierces through its left eye, and the arrows strike at the other optic and throat.
It stood no chance as it flops over dead, the body spasming as it hasn't quite got the memo yet of its fate. Finn falls off the corpse as it tumbles, the small fiery cracks on its form going out as it hits the grass ground. And so does Finn, grunting a little as he hits the floor, before hurriedly lifting his shield up just in time to catch a smirking Huntress atop it.
They remain in silence for a few seconds, before the nymph grins as she lays down comfortably atop the barrier, "Hey." Finn chuckles,
"Hey." He glances at the dead wolf, the flames on its body all dim and grey, before promptly turning to ash, then being blown away by a strong gust of wind. He blinks, then smirks at Huntress, "So, I joined you in being a watcher. Is that it, fighting big monsters? Because I doubt I can do magic to heal any trees." She nods atop the shield,
"Afraid so, I will definitely not let you join me in that world. Magic is nothing but misery…" Her mood drops a little, making Finn smile softly in an attempt to cheer her up,
"Hey, thanks for looking out for me anyways, I doubt I would like the madness and sadness of wizarding. So I will do my best to stay well clear from it, don't you worry." She regains her small grin, then taps the shield,
"No problem dude, and thanks for looking out for me too. That shield allowed me to be super aggressive with my attacks." He smirks,
"What can I say? I hope to help you reach your max potential!"
"That was just cheesy. Nice, but cheesy." He shrugs, then grins at her, and with a single thought deactivated his shield. The nymph instantly flops a top him now that her blue platform is gone, but she simply smirks, and lays down on his chest. '... I should probably get one of his shirts…'
'... Why do you need my shirt?' She blushes immensely as she tenses up, eyes wide,
'Oh I forgot we share our thoughts when we connect!… Yeah just forget what I just said, ok Finn?' He raises an eyebrow,
'I do see all your thoughts, right?... I know you want it for my scent. You really plan to sniff it?' Five arrows suddenly float right above his face, making him blink,
'Ok! I won't keep on asking!... And you get to have a shirt as well.' The woman remains in silence,
'... Yay~' The arrows return to her quiver, causing Finn to sigh and wrap his arms around her, hugging her firmly against his slightly chubby form. She grins as she snuggles up, resting her head sideways into his chest as she listens to his heart pump inside his chest. They remain like that for awhile, arms entangled around one another as the calmly enjoy the sun washing its comforting heat over them. Both of them feel their emotions intertwining with each other, mixing together as they become flooded by warm, joyful feelings. Finn glances at her, 'Wanna kiss?' She giggles,
'Sure~ It's the only way this can get any better.' He chuckles as she lifts her head off his chest and kisses him on the lips, the taller woman covering his form as her hands grip his shoulders for support. Their tongues explore one another's mouth, the duo moaning slightly as they swap spit, their hot breath brushing against their cheeks. They close their eyes as their lips remain connected, while Finn's hands explore her curves, causing Huntress to wiggle and send off positive emotions flooding between them. Something he revels in, their make out becoming even more passionate as they simply refuse to separate. Until air screams at them.
They frown in slight disappointment, and finally part lips, staring each other in the eyes as a thin, clear line of spit still connects their mouths, as if it itself wanted the kissing to continue. The nymph glances behind her, and stares at his hands resting on her plump cheeks, making her grin and lay back down on her boyfriend, their heads nuzzling together. Finn beams as he holds the nymph, and glances up around him once more, discovering that indeed the tees were not glowing as much anymore and the orbs of light had reduced in numbers, just as she had said they would.
He flicks his gaze back to her lightly grinning face, feeling the immense joy and satisfaction flooding through her. They weren't even doing anything, she was just overjoyed at simply being with him. He snuggles against her even tighter with a smile, 'So, do all nymphs share their thoughts when they touch?' She flicks open her eyes casually,
'No. Normally only nymphs bonded in a ceremony are able to. It's something more along the lines of marriage for the nymphs.' Immediately Finn's eyes snap open,
'Wait what!? Did you just marry us?' She smirks, lifting her head to stare him in the eyes,
'No, no I didn't, you don't need to worry, it's way too soon for that. Though it is a nice idea…' He chuckles,
'Yeah, maybe one day, well into the future.' Huntress shakes her head from distant dreams nowhere near ready,
'But the reason why we can do it? It's because I made you part forest nymph from me, I used my magic, my bit of the antler, I did the ritual. Thus, you kinda bonded to me, our spirits are practically touching each other.' He blinks.
'Cool.' She giggles,
'That's your reaction to hearing our souls are partly combined?' He shrugs with a chuckle,
'Yeah, I mean it's not that bad being with you~'
'Well I'm glad you're enjoying my company~' She glances around, checking out the environment for an unwanted audience before grabbing Finn and yanking him to a stand with her, the hero going with it. She backs up so they weren't uncomfortably close and stares up at the sun, finding it midway in the afternoon, making her grimace, "We haven't had something to eat yet… come on, let's go hunt something, then we can head to our final spot before we head home for some more fun." She explains the plan as she grabs the Crivingnuh box from its spot on the floor, while he raises an eyebrow,
"Oh yeah! You did those changes to the house, didn't you? Oh! And one second!" He spins around and dashes to the trees, grabbing her gift to him as he shoulders the high quality quiver, picture frame still inside, before he spins to give her a thumbs up, "Alright I'm good!... Except I don't have a bow or a sword." She raises an eyebrow and points at the spear she had made earlier, now laying on the ground where the wolf had disintegrated.
He blinks. "Good point." They both strolls over to it, Huntress spotting and grabbing her skinning knife Finn had gotten her, while he swiftly picks the spear up. He then hears her shuffling with her quiver a little, turning around to discover her inspecting her singed arrows with a slight grimace of annoyance,
"I can repair these no problem, but I don't really want to use them until I do… think you can handle this one?" He glances at his green spear,
"Yeah, no problem."
Huntress smirks as she leans against a tree, watching Finn sprint around madly as he attempts to impale a rabbit on his long weapon. Despite its far range, it was getting caught on everything, plants, branches, full blown trees, everything, and it was tripping him up at every step. The nymph grins as she watches the stumbling hero, shaking her head with a massive grin, "Don't worry Finn! You got this!... Eventually." He just keeps his eyes on the prize, planning to bop her on the head later for evil teasing, '... But I'll still give her the largest amount of the rabbit.'
His spear suddenly gets caught in some plants, and immediately spins over face first, slamming his head into the ground. By the time he lifts his head up to continue, Huntress was already at his side, making him jump a little as she swiftly checks him over for injuries, "You good?" His answer was to simply jump to his feet, chasing after the rabbit again with spear in hand,
"Never better!" Huntress only shakes her head, and continues to watch the show with a grin, before diving into the fun herself by leaping up and giving chase as well. She dashes for the rabbit, eyes locked on her prey as she and Finn dart between trees, the small animal charging desperately for salvation. The couple locked eyes, and immediately a silent challenge was set between them as they grin, and bound for lunch.
Huntress does it feral style, simply hoping to snatch the small morsel up with her bare hands, her fingers spread wide like the claws of an eagle about to descend onto its prey. While Finn does it the style of society, with a tool made for the sole purpose of killing!... If he could hit the stupid animal. He squints as he locks on, rearing his right arm back with spear in hand, waiting patiently for the perfect moment to strike. He stares intensely, watching it bob and weave around objects, using them as cover and protection from his attack, 'Almost…'
Suddenly it was gone in a blur, startling the hero as he stumbled and glanced around to his right in shock, following the surprise movement. He discovers Huntress standing there, rabbit squealing and wiggling in her mouth as some blood drips free, before biting down a little with her razor sharp teeth, and ending its life. She pulls it from her mouth and grins at him, "I win!" He blinks. Then chuckles,
"I… was not expecting that." She shrugs,
"What, I had no weapon to kill it, so what else was I going to do. Besides, it's more fun that way, and it's not like we haven't swapped spit, so don't complain about it being in my mouth." He raises an eyebrow,
"Okay, I agree about not complaining about you using your mouth, but do you seriously enjoy it more using your mouth?" He asks, not too bothered really as he offers the spear to her, the woman swiftly taking with a grin and shoving it completely through the rabbit,
"A little bit. I mean, I am more aligned to nature than other people, and have lived in it for longer, so I guess I kinda am used to being more wild at times if necessary. But I also know it's not socially acceptable, and kinda disgusting, so I prefer not doing it." She then pokes her tongue out, "And I get raw blood in my mouth that could be carrying who knows what… I'm going to find a river to wash my mouth out, you get cooking the rabbit." He glances around as she begins to stroll away,
"... With what?" She spins to face him, finding him shrugging, "Sure we have wood and we can start a fire with friction, but nothing to put it out afterwards, or heck even a place to burn it without risking a forest fire!" He explains, glancing at the trees as they whisper in worry, something Huntress obviously hears as well as she bites her bottom lip.
"Shoot, sorry forest, that was a slight slip of my mind… follow me to the river Finn, there might be some pebbles we can use as a base, and use the water to put it out." He nods, and swiftly follows her as she leads the way.
When they had eventually found a stream, they wasted no time in setting up, Finn getting a small fire roaring by the water edge as Huntress washes her mouth clean. By the time she had done a thorough scrubbing of her maw to free it from dried blood, the meat was done, and lovingly presented by her boyfriend.
They both beam as they silently enjoy their meal, Huntress unknowingly having the larger part as Finn grins in pride. They sit by the fire, getting warmed by it comfortably as they watch the stream gently flow by, the couple leaning on one another. They both smirk as they snuggle together,
'How can life get any better?' They both simultaneously think, gaining a blush before Finn falls into a chuckling fit while Huntress grins. Them sharing thoughts when they touch was going to take some getting used to, 'At least I can turn it off whenever I want, I just need to do a spell and we will stop being able to read the other's thoughts for a couple of hours.'
'Really?' Finn inquires as she nods,
'Yep. And I plan to use it later…' She schemes as she pulls off him, a grin coming on her face, 'I shouldn't overload him~'
Finally, once they were completely finished and their mess was cleaned up, Huntress stares at Finn with a small smile, "Come on, there's one last thing I want to show you before we return for the night." She explains, the hero nodding as he watches her grab his box present of the heart and feather, before casually walking into the forest. He grins as he follows, and hurriedly makes his way to her side, the couple grinning at each other before entangling their hands together and giving a firm, loving squeeze, walking together in sync as their minds share thoughts and emotions.
By the time they start to approach their final location, the sun was starting to near a sunset, and they would only have an hour of sunlight left max. However, the human and nymph only grin as the world gains a slight orange hue, finding it so much more relaxing and romantic as they stroll along. Finn raises an eyebrow as the light fairies in the sky start to grow in number again, and the tree's green glow, which matches Huntress's magic, begins to bolden again. He glances at her, 'So where are we going? Also, how many magical spots are there in these woods?' She smirks,
'A place we've both been before, a very important spot for us both~... And there are a few magic spots in these woods, it's why the spirit of the forest lives here. It is a very important location to nature.' He grins,
'Still going to keep secrets about what we're doing? Even though we are already doing it?' He teases, making her giggle,
'Well, if you would pay attention as to where we're going, you would realise where we're heading to, or should I say, where we are now~' The hero blinks, and shifts his gaze forward to realise they have just entered a clearing.
The same spot they summoned the spirit of the forest.
Where he proclaimed his love for her.
He spins around, taking the familiar view in, just under a new shade as a massive magical rune sits on the floor, glowing an ever gently green. It was a circle with three spirals meeting the middle, with random circles seemingly dotted in, making him raise an eyebrow and glance up. Glowing fairy orbs gently spun around above them, hardly even moving as they followed the pattern of the massive ruin beneath him.
He spins to face Huntress, who was standing with a small grin as she watches him, before finally joining him in the clearing, "Been a while since we were here together, hasn't it?" He nods in reply, his gaze locked onto her instead of the mystical forest, finding her beauty much more appealing than the magic all around him,
"Yeah, I remember us playing our flute spells here… shame I don't have mine with me right now." Huntress suddenly smirks as she glances at him, "On the contraire…" She reaches under her cape with both hands, and whips out both of their flutes,
"Whaaat?" Finn asks in amazement and joy, reaching out for his Thunder Boar flute that Huntress gently hands to him, "When did you grab it?" She shrugs,
"When I woke up with Sarah before you did. I planned for us to head here, so I grabbed it of course, just in case you forgot to bring your bag." He shakes his head with a smirk before bringing it close to his lips,
"You think of everything, don't you? And I'm not complaining one bit~" She grins like a kid on Christmas Day,
"What can I say? It's part of the reason why I'm so deadly, I leave nothing to chance, even missing out on the chance of having an amazing part for our date." With that, the soul linked duo bring their flutes to their mouths, and once more plays their fateful tunes, their song of love and joy filling the air.
Nature goes silent around them, the trees stopping their constant whispering as everything basks in their melody made for each other. It was the exact same tune they had played together at this very spot back in OOO, the very same song of longing for one another that summoned the spirit of the forest. Although this time it doesn't appear, the female variant is more likely not wanting to interrupt such a tender full moment.
Huntress and Finn unknowingly sway towards each other, their eyes closed as they let their hearts lead them to one another, until finally they meet. Their bodies gently press against each other, causing them to spin and press their backs together, before gently sliding down to sit on the dirt. Their song keeps on playing, yet seemingly picks up in spirit, becoming one full of joy and rapid whistles, yet still perfectly matching with one another's song. Just like how their lives may be different, the notes they play were not the same, yet just like how their lives seemingly connect, their symphony playing off one another, mixing beautifully.
They let the worries of the world wash away, and just focus on them, their joy, their lives, the things that they make and do together. Slowly, their notes gradually match, starting occasionally at first, but as their song plays on, more and more of their song plays the same, until finally, they are playing the exact same song. They thought the same things, they played the same notes, they want the same thing: For their lives to forever be intertwined. At long last, the song that has the exact same notes starts to slow, becoming more drawn out, the end of their lives, old yet still joyful together, until finally, the music stops, and silence rules supreme.
They simply rest together, small grins on their faces as their backs are pressed against each other, their arms limp in their laps. Huntress peeks open an eye, "Thank you Finn." He smirks slightly with a blush,
"What for?"
"For helping me summon the spirit of the forest back then. When you confessed your love for me, I never really got the chance to thank you for your help. Of course, you've done so much more for me now, you've helped me break free from my anti-social shell, you helped me in being more brave about my feelings." He chuckles,
"It's no problem Huntress. Thank you for being here with me, for teaching me that life is more than hero-ing, more than what society thinks I should be and do, thank you for just being so awesome. Seriously, some of my best moments in my life have been with you." Of course, their bodies were still touching, and a single thought was shared instantly between them, and just as swiftly executed as they spin around to face each other. They lean forward, and kiss once more, but not with energy but with gentle, caring nature, a kiss of pure love, no lust tainting it.
They drop their flutes to the ground, and their hands instantly go to each other's side, holding one another by their shoulders to keep them steady. They keep up their tender kisses, lips gently pecking together as they gently blush, the edge of their lips tugged upwards in pleased smiles. Their hands then drift from their shoulders to the other's hair, Finn brushing her smooth, glistening leaf hair, while she sneaks her own under his bear hat, getting a handful of his beautiful shiny hair. They keep on smooching, their top half pressed together as their legs sit idly crossed and jutted away from them.
Finally, the kiss of love ends, and they separate with blushes, turning away to both stare at the spot where they first kissed all the way back in OOO. They grin as they rest their heads against each other, Finn smirking, "Right there, that's where it all began, where I admitted my feelings for you… and you rejected them~" He teases, making her giggle as she closes her eyes,
"Yeah, though I wouldn't change anything, after all, it led to this, us dating as we live our lives to the fullest." He relaxes into her,
"True." She smirks as she lets him lean on her, glancing at his calm form as she remains her stoic self, causing her grin to only get bigger,
"I want to do more like this, you know, just the two of us, doing lovey stuff, not lustful." She shakes her head with a small beaming smile, "That's the only problem in hanging around with Ice Queen, sure she is making more bold, but I also have to semi compete with her. Hence why we both do such actions that at times shock or confuse you." Finn simply wraps an arm around her and hugs her tightly, bringing her tightly against his form,
"Don't worry Diana, I'll always pick you over anyone else, just let me know you want me somehow, and I'll dump whatever I'm doing for you. Just remember I'm bad at picking up hints… but I guess that's where this mind chat thing comes in handy, right?" She smirks,
"Oh yeah, I have a lot planned with this mind thing though just to let you know that if there's enough… stimulation for one of us, it should overload the over side as long as it lasts." Finn raises an eyebrow,
"What do you mean?" She bites her lip,
"Well, say you were getting, I don't know, intense pleasure from something, then it might overload the connection and shut it down until it ends. So once the intense pleasure ended, we can speak through our minds again. Just something to bare in mind before you get confused by it in the future." He grins,
"Huh, interesting." She snuggles up to him a little bit more by resting her head completely atop his and closing her eyes, as if about to go to sleep,
"But enough of that talk, let's just enjoy the moment." Finn silently accepts as he watches the sun just start to set in the horizon, the fairies floating gently by as he and Huntress close their eyes and calm their breaths.
Until a loud feminine scream fills the air.
