9 Prelude
''Speaking
'Thinking.'
[ System ]
{ Skill / Spells }
A/N - Before you read this chapter I ask that you who are enjoying it read what I am about to say.
It has been hard to work, from 8 until 6 in the afternoon with my parents.
I barely have time to sit in front of the computer to write, so I end up using my cell phone.
As you have noticed, the amount of chapters that I am releasing is decreasing.
I was thinking of starting to release 1 or 2 chapters a week, long chapters, on average my chapters have something like 2,000+ Word Count.
In a week this could increase to 6.000 or 10,000.
I would have to divide the chapters into parts since Webnovel does not accept chapters that long.
So I urge you all to add this FF to your libraries. No need to give me your power stones, just Add, that's more than enough for me.
I was even thinking of creating a random FF so as not to leave you without chapters all week.
The idea is good, I just need to execute it.
Enjoy!

The party is over... 🎶
But although I still wanted to dance 🎶
Something so bad that I can't sleep. 🎶
And one day, the flame of my passion... Will be extinguished. 🎶

That was me singing happily as I walked through the halls of the Sweet Castle towards Bonnie's Lab.
+
From the beginning, I knew that one day the flames would be extinguished.... 🎶
I didn't think I would need anything and yet I got so serious! 🎶
Ah, I still have time to do this.... 🎶
Ah, I'm going to burn everything! 🎶
Baby, I'm sorry Dear, but it's not that easy, but it's certainly not that bad either. 🎶

[ 'Singing' Now people can "bewitch" themselves slightly].

I was glad I didn't have to tell anyone the obvious - Finally, the plot will start and I got a lot of good stuff before like '3 Perks' in SRT, DEX and WIS.
The 'Perks' were so good I couldn't believe it.... Maybe if the Game didn't put in some horrible descriptions, it would be even better.

I could try to invest some more attribute points and get 2 more new 'Perks', but I wasn't in the mood for that right now.
I didn't even accept my bonus rewards and the stash with the idea that I could do it later, but of course, that's not all I got.
I received a very special "Skeleton Key" that I have inside my chest and some materials to upgrade my weapons.
However, for now, I have a date with Bonnie and we will discuss Necromancy.
I quickly put those thoughts aside for now as I followed the corridor until I came to a spiral staircase leading even further down and sang again.

Inside the lab, Bonnibel was finishing the last preparations of the Decorpsinator Serum while carefully handling it with a thick Glove that served as protection for her hands.
She took a test tube with an unknown black liquid and dispatched it inside the Decorpsinator Serum. As soon as they came in contact with each other they caused a small reaction that resulted in a small greenish explosion shaped like a mushroom with a skull skull in the center.
Putting the serum back on the white table that was filled with test tubes with different types of liquids inside, Bonnibel allowed herself to let out a relieved sigh.
With the Decorpsinator Serum, she would be able to revive her people who had died. That was her duty as Ruler of the Candy Kingdom.
Taking a short break, she began to hear a male voice outside. Singing? she thought.
Surely, you too would resort to self-defense if you could avoid a difficult path. 🎶
I'm human now, tomorrow too, and the next day it's enough to hear that, everyone gets inspired differently. 🎶
But you're human too and you just hate being one! 🎶
But you can't hate yourself, because you are a kind person, you are someone who would pray for anyone. 🎶
La La La. 🎶
It takes, for a single flower to spread, water, soil, sunlight and its seed.🎶
Whatever is right in front of me, its meaning, past and future, if one of them were missing, neither I, nor you, nor this person. 🎶
"That's nothing." - I say this while being overwhelmed with my past .🎶
The fate in your path is a misunderstanding. You reap what you sow. 🎶
But why is this situation unpleasant? 🎶
You want to escape, right? 🎶
You want to live, right? 🎶
If there is a moment when you feel like throwing yourself off, split through the darkness of this world and let us search for the reason you were born. 🎶
The Beginning at the End, once started, will be your final life. 🎶
At the end of an endless journey, there must be a time, where everything is now empty. 🎶
It is impossible to drown in the rain.... 🎶
Still, it seems so hard to breathe.... 🎶
We live to die one day.... So if that's the way it is.... 🎶
We'll leave again, always, always, always, The unbreakable bells of our hearts until they resound and Everything will be covered in dark clouds and muddy dirty. 🎶
We will now draw a line within the labyrinth that obstructed the world and now, This line will be the overlapping map: The Flower that blooms to illuminate you. 🎶
'... Finn? How well did he learn to sing like that?' thought Bonnibel as she recognized that male voice immediately.
Bonnibel took off her heavy gloves, and her goggles and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a white handkerchief. She put the handkerchief in her coat pocket and turned towards the door.
She began to hear footsteps approaching the door, followed by knocking...
Knock!
Knock!
"The door's open - you can come in. She spoke warmly.
The white door slowly opened and revealed, at last, Finn, the Candy Kingdom Champion.
( Author: Finn is the Champion of the Candy Kingdom, but since he is not widely used or even known, I chose not to give him a title. )
Seeing Finn enter, Bonnie greeted him with a smile.
''How have you been, Finn? She asked. "Aren't you a little early? The appointment was at nine o'clock at night.''
Finn gave her a half smile knowing that she probably hasn't seen the sunlight yet today.
"It's already 9:10... He sighed. ''I'm ten minutes late.'' He said and took the digital watch off his wrist and handed it to her.
Bonnibel took the watch interested to see that 'Advanced Technology' again... She could try to borrow the watch so she could study it, but she didn't know how to ask for that.
Even though the two of them had 'reconciled', there was an awkward tension between them. Bonnie didn't have to think about it to know that he knew a lot about her, the future, Marceline, and the Future of Ooo.
She wanted to ask about that future, more exactly what the Cany Kingdom would look like in the future.
What was that future like?
Did the Sweet People live well and comfortably?
Is she still the ruler of the Candy Kingdom?
Did any great threat arise for the Candy Kingdom?
She had many questions of course, but... She didn't want to touch on an 'awkward' question and have him end up throwing into the air what they were doing between the '4 Walls'.
She preferred not to let her mind wander to such matters, not again.
She felt so awkward about it all that she didn't know how to react ... She also didn't know how exactly to react to this 'new' Finn, they were so different from each other. Not only was this new side cooler but, Hot.
Yes, she admitted that this Finn was very 'very hot' that made her restless and a little itchy.
''What happened to make you look like that?'' Finn asked softly.
She was so immersed in her thoughts that she ignored him.
''Huh? Nothing... Yes, nothing happened.'' She answered awkwardly and looked at her watch, which read [9:15].
''Really? Hmm... You can just tell me the truth, you're not that good at hiding things from me, Bonnibel.'' Finn replied with a teasing smile.
How the hell does he read me so easily? Thought Bonnibel piling more frustration on himself.
She took a deep breath, ''This is weird! You're weird!'' She Exclaimed and pointed at Finn.
