1 For Some Reason
((Y/N POV))
"I heard she's strong enough to beat the champions in any school out there but! I heard rumours her mom is a witch and they live in the deepest side of the forest!"
"No kidding! I also watched the news about a witch near our school. She died after some villagers murdered her probably cause of the bad things she've done"
"Hey you two tone it down, she might hear you"
Everyone staring at me, no matter where I go , no matter what i do. It feels as if I am trapped in a prison like world where nobody would accept my existence even if I was trying my best to win all the battles or obstacles placed in front of me. Believe me on how I tried convincing them that my mom isn't evil. For goodness sake she already saved countless of peoples lives! She isn't entirely a witch.. Yes she can use spells but all those magic were used for good purposes and valid reasons.. Yet nobody believed.. They trust fake rumors than the truth.
Even after being murdered by them, even the cops gave up the investigations.I knew I should be mad, furious, vengeful by now but mom lived her short life teaching me how to do kind things in return, no matter how evil they might be doing..
I can remember how she comforts me whenever I am feeling helpless, she embrace me till I calm down, she would sing songs, dance.. That's how amazing my mother was.. This world might be cruel towards us however being together can conquer all of the destruction.. But now, I feel like I lost a part of myself, I am empty, loveless, and depressed.
Not long till I left school, I live by my own , grow my own plants for food, sell some to gain money, mostly I run a small business by my own at a young age..Some kids at my age plays basketball or outdoor games but me I am growing turnips, tomatoes, etc. etc.. Some kids read educational books but me I read my moms spell book. Believe me when I say , I can control magic, I can use potions, spiritual powers or even blood thanks to the book I finished reading.
But what's the point of having these knowledge, what's the point of having unbelievable strength, what's the point of living.. When.. When you got no one to share these things with...Now I know why there are no mythical creatures in this world.. Humans loath peculiar creatures to the point where their existence disappear..
My eyes turn more and more watery as I think about our memories, the visible line on my wirst started releasing a faint smell of metal as the red liquid flows down into the floor.... Letting go of the sharp object. Little by little my consciousness started to fade I've seen a blinding light emitting from my body and that's when my mind shuts off completely, leaving my sight in darkness...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Argh my head hurts" I woke up from the throbbing pain on my wrist but how could that be? The blood is gone leaving only the scar visible. Soon my eyes inspected the floor to find nothing . Where is the blood stain? Something more amazing caught my attention. Not the spell books my mom made, nor the house we live in but the fact that I am in the middle of nowhere, sitting on a grassy area and as I look around I can see nothing but nature.. No buildings, no houses, not even air pollution. Am I dead?! If not then where am I?
Did I screwed up life or am I in heaven?
I stood up to check my surroundings more further, somehow in a distance I can see a mountain of ice surrounded by snow as if weathers are split into a couple of lands. There I can also see a land burning so I assumed that was some sort of a Fire land, I wonder if I could roast some marshmallows in there or is it my hand gonna be automatically roasted from the heat instead.. Ughhhh and at the other side I can see a pink castle with a lot of pink, way too colorful, not sure what weather is that... I guess now I should choose my path since I think I might be dreaming? Or am i just dead?
Made up my mind to check that Iceland, I always wanted to feel snow for a while.
I must really be dreaming, look at how colorful this place is not to mention the energy it emits. Basically even the air swarms with a hint of magic. For white witches like mom I'm sure this would be a better territory than in the woods, imagine how strong she could be after absorbing these amount of energy.. No matter where I am, mom still occupy my mind, to the point where I imagine her being with me.
Not long till my thoughts were replaced by a new topic. A topic about how cold the land beneath my feet and how cold the magical air surrounding the place. Looking around I noticed how I'm already standing near the Icey mountain.
"Finally! No time to be depressed, this is a dream after all. I might as well enjoy it" stooped down to mold some familiar snow ball but instead of throwing them, I tried licking the icy ball. Well obviously it taste like ice.. I'm getting pretty cold so I secretly activated my magic to warm myself.
"Who goes there?!" I heard a weird old mans voice coming from behind me. Whoever the person is. I assume he could help me clear things out with my current state.
Into my surprise I saw a man with a beard, mustache and hair as white as snow, he seem fat, wearing a blue dress.. Guess even in my dreams gays exist and a fat one of that.. WAIT A MINUTE!! He isn't just a normal fat gay man!! All his description matches a legendary person..
"Are you SANTA CLAUS?!" I asked with a hint of excitement. Knowing that I'm standing in the middle of ice land, it maybe possible that this supposed to be North Pole..
"No I am the ICE KING ruler of the Ice Kingdom!" He shouted with a funny nerd like voice, weird indeed.. Yet you can hear a hint of honor in his dialogue.
I never encountered any Ice King in reality nor did I watched anything about it so how come I'm dreaming about these stuff?
"Hey Ice King .. Am I dreaming?"
"Why would you as.." before he could finish his sentence I sent him flying by punching him straight on the face not showing off any guilt nor humanity for once.
"How does it feel like?" I asked with curiosity in my expression.
"Argh!! Why did you do that?! IT HURTS" He started crying and each tears from his eyes turns into ice cubes.
"Hmmmm weird he's hurt. It may not be a dream" I was thinking of asking him to punch me to prove my point in case I'm not really dreaming but that will surely hurt, he is after all a man with mind problems, I think.. The ice king keeps complaining in the background with his silly voice and ugly face..
"Anyways can you show me around your kingdom Ice king?" I asked with a hint of respect.
"Well. Are you a princess?" His question is weird enough to prove his mind is not as normal as a normal person should be, as if he was stuck here in winter land, not being able to escape. Why would he ask such things? I wonder.
"No. Why would you think I'm a princess? And why ask me? You entirely look like one cause of your wonderful blue dress" I said between laughter. Gesturing through his whole being.
"Then I won't tour you in my kingdom. Only princesses are allowed to be greeted by me the ice king himself!" He shouts with a bigger pride but I shrugged it off thinking how crazy this king was.. Well I can't blame him, living in such a cold and lonely place without anyone to talk to is in fact depressing.. I probably am as crazy as he is right now since our backstory might be identical. What if he's also an outcast in this world, or dream.. Whatever it is.
"Silly, cause you already greeted me.. Then I'll be checking that ice mountain myself" Before I could step away from the king a huge spear made of ice fell in front of me. OH MY GOSH I almost got killed.
Started to put my guard up with my defensive position as the Ice kings hand glows while it releases ice magic. Woah so this king is an ice wizard I assume.
Let me check if I can use the same old ice magic against him.
I tried copying his magic and I was successful , to think that I can use it better and in a more proficient way than him. My hand glowed as I created a huge shield to protect myself from ice kings power.
"WOW You also have ice magic?" The ice king stopped fighting, approaching my direction and started to be friendly towards me.
"Well yeah. A bit"
"Come with me" He begins to float in the air then carried me on his shoulder heading to the ice mountain in front of us..
"Welcome to my lovely castle"
"This is a castle?" I questioned after judging the boring appearance. A couple of penguins surrounded me hugging my feet in the process while we're waiting for ice king to return, he left to retrieve something in the other room.
"Found it!" I heard him squeal like a girl revealing himself with a new crown in his hand, smaller than the one he's currently wearing on his head.
"You should wear this. Not Like I'm asking you to be a queen. You're not my type but you can help me with something. We can be friends and have fun greeting princesses outside. Help me pick the perfect princess to marry"
I've been ignoring the specific feeling a while ago but that crown he's wearing emits a strong yet cursed aura, must be the reason why he sounded a bit crazy. The crowns magic is affecting his brain and appearance in a wrong peculiar way. Yet that white hair would look nice on me so I took the small crown he was offering me. Before placing the crown on top of my head I pronounced a few spells to make the curse sleep for a month..
"Well I thank you Ice king" I placed the crown on my head as a sudden glow covered my entire body changing my appearance. My hair turned white and longer, even my skin became whiter then my casual clothes were replaced by a blue long dress as my eyes turn blue either, based on what I can see through my reflection in the ice walls.
I look perfect!
Soon Ice king giggled like a little girl, dragging me outside where we ventured out to find his princess.
"So Ice King do you have a princess in mind? Someone with a clearer description that we could find?" I asked while we fly our way to the seemingly pink land with a some sort of pink castle .
"Well she's beautifuuuul, her hair is long and pink, she looks pretty with her pink dress! Everything about her is pretty" Ice king sounded like a child as he tried imitating a love sick little girl squealing after remembering the love of his life.
"I see so she's a girl with long pink hair, pink dress. Wow let me guess her favorite color. Pink right?"
"Her name is Princess Bubblegum"
"Woah why bubblegum? Is it her favorite food?"
"Nope cause she is one. OOOOH HERE WE ARE!" Ice king stopped moving forwarded and stayed in one place looking at the ground a few feet under him.
"Woah OMG is that even true!! Look at those delicious looking houses!" I made my way towards a house and took a chunk of the crackers putting it in my mouth while tasting it slowly.
"It'sh like hamshel and gwethel" I said while chewing.
"Waaaah! Stop eating our house!"
I can't believe what I'm seeing right now! There are candy people everywhere. I took one of the candy people which is some sort of a lollipop and licked it.
"Hehehe that tickles" The lollipop spoke and it surprised me to the point where I jump and fell on my butt.
"OMG They talk!! Gaah Ice king! They talk!!" As I tremble from confusion I heard sounds like beams and landslides. Turning to face where Ice king was, I was greeted by a few candy houses covered with Snow which probably came from Ice kings magic.
"Ice king what are you doing?" I said floating to reach his level.
"I'm trying to make Princess Bubblegum notice me" He said between giggles but it didn't impress me at all.
"Ice king if you really wanna meet Princess Bubblegum. You should head straight to the castle, no need to terrorize the candy people here" I explained while face palming to ice kings idiotic action.
I know he's been doing crazy things lately yet I can't help but to pity this old man.. He went bonkers. To be honest I've been noticing how the candy people are trying to avoid this king as if he is popular for being somewhat dangerous.
I don't think Ice king's harming anyone yet he is in fact crazy. How strong is his depression? How long did he waited for someone to notice him in a good way?
"Well girly what's your name again?" Ice king asked me with curiosity shifting his gaze from the candy houses and into my face.
"It's Y/n" I answered with full honesty.
"I see.. Well from now on you will be my accomplice. We'll be the best duo in the world! Better than Finn and Jake!" He laughed hysterically while me on the other hand has an unknown confusion echoing in my head. Can't believe it's hard to understand a crazy person not to mention he wanted me to be his ally. Not knowing what he's up to except for the fact that Ice king is aiming for cute princesses.
I just nodded as a response for his question yet he gave me a grin in return.
"Ooooh! Y/n ! I have a plan on hand. Why don't you enter the castle?! Hold the guards off as I take Princess Bubblegum" I don't think that's a good plan for me. It sounded like a selfish idea to save himself from fighting.. Well Y/n, Y/n, Y/n he is a bonkers right? And this is just a dream. Let's just give him a little chance for his own happiness.
"Alright but just this once. Now go hide yourself first Ice king. Hide till I send a signal, only then you may enter the castle"
"What signal Y/n?"
"Frost fireworks"
"Alright. Be careful my lovely ally" he waved his hand . I don't know why but whenever I hear his voice I started to cringe.
I headed straight to the entrance flying my way pass through what seem to be two bananas holding their own set of spears.
"Who goes there?!"
Gaaaah the banana shouted! Oh Gosh stop acting scared Y/n.. You're in a world where anything can be possible including a banana man. Ice king looks more frightening than this one though Right.. Let's do this!
"Something is missing about your appearance" I acted as if I was thinking something, placing my fingers under my chin while i'm gradually floating in the air.
"Huh?" They questioned upon looking to each other.
"Oh right?! You're missing the Ice cream!!" I shouted before blasting snow magic in their direction, leaving them under a pile of snow. For some reason the two bananas can't stand up anymore.
"Perfect. All you need is a cherry on top. Bye guys!" I giggled my way towards the hallway.
It took half an hour to silently fight against these banana guards, they might not be experienced in combat but when it comes to escaping, I could say they're a professional. Somehow I managed to launch frost fireworks in the sky to inform ice king.
"Thank you Y/n" I was surprised to see Ice king with a huge sack on top of his shoulder. Means he already kidnap the princess even before I could signal him.. Dang such team work.. I was a bit disappointed.
"Now cover me " Ice King commanded as he pushed me towards the hallway, leaving me behind and surrounded by the banana people.. At this point I knew for sure Ice King is not just crazy but also evil... One thing's for sure.
He betrayed me.

//Finn's POV//
We've been playing games for hours yet not a single citizen asked for our help, no evil, no villains and no adventure.. Boringggg....
"Hey Jake. I'm bored, should we go find some dungeons to loot?"
"Thought you'll never ask. Let's go!" Jake dropped the joystick
"Let's bring some snacks along the way" I sprinted to where our kitchen is before the phone started ringing like crazy.
~Ring Ring Ring~
"Hello?" Jake answered the phone. After what seem to be 60 seconds Jake's eyes widen.
"Jake, who's that?"
"Finn it's Peppermint butler! He needs some help. Ice king kidnapped PB"
"Oh my glob we need to get going!"
"Hop on!"
I spin on the air before landing on Jakes back, holding onto his fur as he stretch towards the ice kingdom and into Ice King's castle.
~After an hour of beating up Ice King~
"You can't get away with this Finn and Jake! We're not finish yet!"
"Silence Ice King. We already won this battle. " Jake continue to brag in front of Ice King.
"Finn, Jake.. Let's go back to Candy Kingdom. I need to check out my guards.. I have this strange feeling something wrong is happening"
"Why is that ?" I asked
"Ice King seem to get through my loyal guards. That happened for the first time. No one can pass through my guards! Till now!" Pb's pink face slowly turns red as her anger consumes her state of mind.
"Princess calm down. Let's head back" Jake tried calming Pb and he was successful. I helped her climb on Jake after he stretched into his huge appearance.
I was sitting behind Princess Bubblegum and I swear she smell so sweet, her hair dancing along with the air and it makes her scent pass through me. Shaking my thoughts off. Can't believe I'm thinking about that confession of mine again, when she already rejected me . Plus I already have Flame Princess by my side so why would I remember that.
"We're here Finn!" Jake broke the deepness of my thoughts.
"Oh right" I answered with a slight blush on my face realizing how I'm actually spacing out for a while but my face got even redder after hearing PB giggle at my expression.
"Princess. I need to inform you about what happened while you're being kidnapped" Peppermint Butler suddenly appeared pulling the huge door open peeking through the gap.
"What happened?" Pb asked the little sugary being as me and Jake waited for his answer. We're as curious as Pb about these. The fact that Ice king entered the castle, passing through the guards for once.
"Come on in and I'll explain the details"
"OH MY GLOB What happened here?! How can Ice king be this powerful?!" Can't stop being surprised by what I'm seeing in front of me. Huge piles of snow covering the halls , even the chandeliers and mostly the banana guards. Coldness finally hits our skin giving us strong chills all over.
It gets colder and colder while Peppermint Butler leads us to the dungeon and in front of one specific cell..
"OH MY GLOB!!"
