12 Years Later
Finn's POV
I walked through the entrance hall of the castle. Nothing like a Saturday: light duties. I took ina deep breath and took in the beauty of the castle. i may have lived here for 12 years, but I still love looking at all the pictures. The architecture that's been put in almost makes up for the years of evil this place represented. Thankfully, it's been in good hands for a while now. My musing was suddenly cut short when I heard someone yelling. I looked over my shoulder and saw a small child running at me
"Daddy! Daddy! Hi daddy! You're homeeeeeee!"
"Hi Flare, how's daddy's little girl? Were you a good girl for mommy while I was gone?"
"Yes I wasss. She let me help today while you were gone. She let me listen to the citizens and everything! It was so fun."
"Aww, I'm glad you had a good day today. Where's mommy?"
"She's still working."
"Alright, I won't disturb her yet. Hey Flare?"
"Yes daddy?"
"I have a surprise for you."
"Oh what is it? what is it? What is it?"
"Uncle Jake is coming over tonight for dinner."
"He is? He is? He is?!!"
"Mmhmm, so that means we need to make dinner. Do you know what that means?"
"That means I get to help you cook. Hooray!!!!"
"It sure does my little spitfire, now let's get a move on."

"What are we making?'
"We're making one of Uncle Jake's favorites: spaghetti and meatballs."
"Oooooooooooh. Hey daddy?"
"Yes?"
"What did you do today?"
"Well, I went and taught a few classes as I do every Saturday."
"What did you teach?"
"I taught kids today on hand-to-hand combat."
"Oh woow... what's hand-to-hand combat?"
"You're just full of questions aren't you? It's where people can defend themselves if they are ever in trouble."
"Why would people want to learn that?"
"Well, when I was a teenager, I used to run around Ooo and fight monsters. I became quite famous, but all the monsters went away. People want to be like me."
"Oh... Will you ever teach me how to fight?"
"We'll just have to wait and see until you get older."

Uncle Jake, Uncle Jake! Can you tell me the story about how my daddy got his demon sword?"
