A strange, heavy quiet had fallen over the Land of Ooo, a mundane stillness that clung to the air in the Stock Woods. Finn Mertens walked its paths alone, Jake and Lady Rainicorn elsewhere. His sword bit into stray branches as he moved, boots splashing through the shallow, slow-moving river. A ragged song forced its way past his lips, a rhythmic attempt to smother the persistent memory of Flame Princess. He was hunting for evil, for any conflict to silence the hollow ache their split had left behind, swinging his blade at phantom threats while trying to outpace the sorrow in his own chest.
