Finn raced through the palace as if he’s life depended on it; he was desperate to find the Human PB had told him about. Thoughts raced through his mind as he descended the stairs leading into the main hall of the candy palace.

“What will they be like?”

“Will they even like me? Do they know what happen to our people?”

“Where have they been all this time? Did they know that he was in Ooo all this time?”

Finn was so deep in thoughts that he hadn’t noticed he’d reached the end of the stairway and ended up tripping over himself sending him flying to the feet of a person standing in the main hall.

Lumen stared down at the individual at his feet confused.

“Is he alright?” he asked himself before offering the person a hand up, the person seemed like they were in a rush and didn’t want to be stopped but Lumen felt this person would be more helpful with directions than the weird Peppermint guy that had ran off after he told him his name. “What was with that anyway?”

“Hello I’m sorry to bother you as you seem to be in quite a rush but I was wondering if you would be able to help me quickly. My names Lumen and I’m the Prince of the Shade Kingdom” He said as he helped the person up.

Finn looked at the Prince slightly baffled. He had never heard of the Shade Kingdom so had no idea who this Lumen was but it was his Hero’s Code to help anyone in need especially those of royal decent. Finn nodded to the Prince showing his willingness to help him in his endeavour. 

“Awesome” the Prince said as he smiled. “You see I’m here to meet the monarch of this kingdom. My second in command Leaden suggested that it would help my kingdom if I ventured out and build bridges of good faith with those of other kingdoms however I have no idea who the monarch of this kingdom is and I tried asking that little Peppermint guy but he ran away so I’m wondering if you could help me find the ruler of these lands?”

“Yeah sure… Princess Bubblegum is the monarch here I could take you to her if you want I’m actually a good friend of hers so I’m sure she wouldn’t mind”

“Oh that’s great let’s get going then my friend” Lumen said with a smile as he and Finn started to climb the stairs that led back to PB “Also you seem to be quite in the know so I was wondering if you could help me with one other thing” He waited for Finn to gesture that he would then continued speaking “You see I am, and you may take this with a pinch of salt, what you would call a Human. I’m apparently one of a pair and the only other Human in Ooo is a hero that goes by the name of Finn. I chose the Candy Kingdom as my first visit as I was told he often visits these lands” “And the name sounded delicious” Lumen thought to himself before continuing again. ”I would like to meet with this other Human and I had hoped he would have wanted to meet me. I did wait hoping that he had heard of my arrival to Ooo but when he never came to our Kingdom I realised he must be busy being a Hero and since my lands are peaceful he would have no need to visit us. I decided while I was visiting these kingdoms I would drop by his home and introduce myself. So do you happen to know where I can find Finn the Human?”

 Finn just stared at him mouth wide open. Here he was running around trying to find the other human and then here he is right in front of him. He was a prince? And he wanted to meet him? Finn didn’t know what to say and so just nodded hoping the right words would just come to him.
