This is my first fan-fiction about Over the Garden Wall and how Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice have to stop the beast from escaping the boundaries of The Unknown... Somewhere lost in the annals of history lies a place that few have seen, a mysterious place called The Unknown, where long forgotten stories are revealed to those who travel through the wood...

Wirt finds himself wandering around the Unknown again, without Greg or even Jason Funderburker (the frog, of course) to keep him company. Upon running into familiar territory, Wirt begins to put two and two together about why and what the Unknown really is. ((Please bear with me, this is my first story and I'm just experimenting here))

Continuation/ connects with "heart of gold but his hands are cold" The tragic story of how Wirt sacrifices everything to protect his brother and the Beast's twisted plan to keep Wirt trapped inside his own mind while the beast uses him to collect oil for the lantern (This is gonna switch around to several points of view just saying)

I had to save my brother. Now, I obey The Beast. Forever carrying the dark lantern. The people of The Unknown now fear me. All of my friends. No longer help me. I need help. I need someone to help me break this curse. Before I turn into The Beast. *Over The Garden Wall belongs to Patrick McHale*

(Must Read the first book before reading this) It's been three years since Wirt sacrificed himself to The Beast to save his brother and friends. Now, everyone has forgotten about him. Everyone, except Greg, who still believes that his brother is still alive. It's almost as if Wirt is following him... Over The Garden Wall belongs to Patrick McHale.

A What If Novel following Wirt's choice to become the Lantern Bearer, forever entrapping Wirt inside The Unknown.
