Finn ran and ran as fast as he could. He had to get there before it was too late; of all the times to not be prepared it had to be now. He was almost there when someone appeared before him. She had short black hair, beautiful sleek skin. She wore small simple crown on her head and wore a long graceful red dress. The most defining feature of this woman however was the amazing white wings that grew from her back. She smiled as Finn approached and tried to speak to him.

"I'm here to help Finn, hear my voice and-"

Suddenly she was cut off by the hoot of a familiar yet unwanted golden owl. Cosmic Owl stared down at them both from the sky. He told Finn to run, to keep running and never stop. Death was coming. Finn looked back at the woman and she was gone in fact everything was gone and all that was left was a dark gruesome laugh; the Lich's laugh.

Lumen held a sponge to Finn's head trying to both bring down the Human's swelling and his abnormal temperature. "If he only bumped his head why is he like this? What's keeping him in this dream" Lumen pondered as FP re-entered the room. She had gone out to get her servants to get Finn and his friend some food and bandages.

"You keep that stuff here? How comes?"

"Well I wanted to be prepared… for Finn's sake…" she had replied before going to her chamber door to relieve her servants of the supplies.

"So Pervert-"

"Lumen…"

"Yes so Lumen how is he? What's wrong with him? Why hasn't he woken up? Did he talk about me a lot? Wait no… I mean… I don't know…" She collapsed in the corner sighing deeply, "how can I be asking stupid things like that when Finn is like this?"

Lumen let the Princess take in the situation before going to sit against the wall with her. Unlike the first time she had felt him beside her she was quite welcome for the company of the stranger.

"He didn't talk much about you-" FP's face fell at Lumen's comment so he sped up his statement to avoid upsetting the elemental. "-but I could see in his eyes that he missed you a great deal, he told me your story and of his mistake. He would stare at the fire and fall asleep next to it. I even once saw inside his soul and you'll be happy to know inside there he holds you dear, down to every fibre of that man's body you are his princess. He may not be able to move or talk at the moment but I have a feeling he is doing all he can to get back to you. It's my fault he's like this I was too busy in my own mind to notice we had stopped. I'm sorr-"

"Stop right there. This is no one's fault it was an accident so stop it, thank you for what you've said it's help calm my heart a great deal and thank you for bringing him back to me L… Lu… Pervert"

Lumen decided for the time being he was just going to let the Princesses nickname for him slide, it wasn't important at the moment.

"Lady of the flames, I told you before this that is a mission of great importance to my kingdom and that I was here to build good relationships with other kingdoms. Maybe I could go one step further and be your friend and listen to that heart as I have a feeling you have something you want to say."

"That obvious huh? Well I was actually waiting for Finn today- I mean I wait for him most days- but today was going to be the last day I waited, I made a bet with destiny to see if our love was true and here he comes tumbling into my life again" Lumen smiled at the Princesses unintentional pun and gestured for her to continue. "I never stopped liking Finn and I regretted leaving like I did, he avoided me and thought he had failed me but I failed him. I… I… I can't do this. I can't." Lumen once again let the light leave his body and fill the room. The princess was startled for a moment before feeling the rays of light against her skin. Suddenly these 3 words didn't feel so hard to say, they felt right. "I Love Him".
