Ice and Blood(ch.1)

Ice and Blood (chapter 1)

Finn decided to go for a walk around his kingdom, it was enough thinking and getting depressed over what he did or did not do. He rose from his icy throne, put on his marine blue with golden decorations coat, only because he wasn't seeing anyone didn't mean he would be going around without style. So he flew down to the snowy lands and began strolling down the mountain, enjoying the sight of penguins playing with each other and even smiled at what was that they were discussing about. Their conversation went like this.

"I swear, I saw a fish like this big!" the first penguin said, stretching his little wings in opposite directions as much as his small body could allow him.

"Yeah, right, and I beat a polar bear all by myself" the second penguin replied with sarcasm, which the first little guy didn't notice and so thought that he was being serious.

"Wow, " said the first one awed "You must be...

But before he could finish his praise a huge fireball with two people riding it and laughing stupidly flew past the two penguins and headed straight at Finn. Over the decades he was the target of several assassination attempts either for: his riches, which Finn got by looting dungeons or as rewards from quests which he took constantly in his first years of wearing the crown. Or revenge, his crazy side made sure Finn had a lot of enemies, except for fire beings, they naturally hate cold beings. So with his sharp reflexes, he easily dodged the attack and shot an ice bolt at it, freezing and sending the two now screaming figures flying at a larger pile of snow. Immediately the snow started to melt and seconds after it began to steam and soon there was a dry creator with a very angry fire elemental, which Finn identified as the current Flame Princess, and next to her stood a more confused that angry boy... a human boy. He had a white bear hat, a yellow sweater, blue jeans and a green backpack. Finn identified this boy as Pen. Pen is a very dear person to Finn, after all, he is a brother.



(After the last scene of the Farm World in "Jake the Dog")
"Yes..." said the soothing whispers of the crown into Finn's head "Freeze, and there forth save the world..."

Finn continued casting ice spells and making the Ice Kingdom that stands today, while the crown whispered encouraging words to him.

"And what about my family?" asked Finn "Will we also need to freeze them?"

"Yes... we will also protect them... but for now, we build..." the crown whispered calmly.

After a few days the Kingdom of Ice and Snow was built, and Finn was eager to go and find his family. And even though he now knew how to fly, Finn still had to look for them for over a month. When he found them, they were on a boat at sea, but there were a few differences than when he last saw them. Mother was nowhere to be seen, father had a few alien friends around him and Pen, his baby brother sat on a wet pillow in the right bottom of the boat wearing Finn's favorite bear hat. Finn didn't know what to do, to approach them or not, so he simply waited in the storm clouds and observed his father and his friends. He didn't have to wait long before something happened. Near the boat materialized a spaceship with an open hatch and father and his friends stepped in it and left, and they left the little baby in the boat like some useless luggage. Finn couldn't believe what just happened, and he simply stood (flew? I don't know how to name floating in the air in one place) there, mouth open, shocked. His shock was short lived because he heard a cry from the small baby on the small pillow in the small boat in the vast and seemingly endless sea.

"W-what do we do?" asked Finn.

"Save him... freeze him..." whispered the familiar voice of the crown, filling the boy with confidence.

"Yes, that's right" said now serious Finn.

He flew down to the boat where Pen continued to cry and picked him up.

"Hush little guy" Finn said lulling Pen to sleep "Big bro Finn is going to save you" And with that, Finn froze his dear baby brother. He then tried to take him with him to the castle, but the crown stopped him.

"Leave him..." it whispered "He is already saved..."

"I can't keep him?" Finn asked, confused "Can I at least bring him to shore?" He asked hopefully.

"..." the crown stayed silent for a while and then said "okay..."

Finn was overjoyed. He flew at higher speeds than ever before, because he could finally 'save' at least one of his family. After an hour they reached a shore and placed Pen's ice block in the forest.



It must have melted only some time ago. Judging by the way he looks, he should be around 16 years old. But it really pained Finn that his own brother wants to kill him.

"State your reasons for attacking me" Finn said calmly in a royal tone.

"WE ATTACKED YOU!? YOU ATTACKED US!" at the end of that sentence Flame Princess shot a fireball which Finn easily deflected with his hand.

"And you say that while you are attacking me" Finn said while smirking "It's not very convincing" he was starting to enjoy this. Now she was so mad she was starting to slowly turn into her giant element form. And then Pen joined the conversation.

"Hey, hey" he tried to calm her down "We are in his kingdom, we are guests, we shouldn't fight with him".

'Hmm... Maybe they didn't come here to kill me' it gave Finn a huge morality boost thinking that his brother wasn't trying to kill him.

"But he insulted me Pen" she said now a little less loudly. Pen was certainly someone she respected.

"So by besting you in a conversation I insult you?" Flame Princess's face slowly started turning into a growing frown and Finn knew he should stop, but even all these years couldn't beat his joviality out of him "You must be often insulted then" he said grinning and already getting in a defensive position. And just in time to easily deflect a huge fireball with a wave of his hand.

"If you dare to pick a fight with a fire being" she said while charging an even larger fireball "You're going to get burnt" and she threw it at Finn. But he took a step to the right and the ball flew far into the distance, completely missing Finn.

"We'll see about that" said Finn with a smile on his face.
