章節 4: Chapter 3: A new beginning
After Simon left with the crown
POV:MC
After Simon left the room without looking at me with the crown in his hands I was able to relax my small body, it seems that he does not plan to use it near me
But now that he has the crown in hand, it won't be long before his psychotic breakdown and Betty's trip to the future.
I can't train my body to fight until I'm at least 5 years old, training before that will surely damage my muscles, that leaves the mind as the only thing I can develop right now
I can do that using my state of full concentration, maybe it will allow me to absorb knowledge faster, that will be useful in the coming apocalypse
I will concentrate on learning survival tactics, basic medical knowledge, hunting, engineering, etc.
Things that will allow me to survive longer, repair my things and kill any danger in the future
The enchiridion will be my source of knowledge about the supernatural, because of the Lich-bomb, different supernatural races will come to light again, I remember that Marceline fought vampires before she was immortal
That knowledge plus the enchiridion will be the basis of my survival, I know that Simon will abandon us to protect us from his madness, that leaves me and a half-demon girl alone at 10 years old
Marceline has an almost superhuman body and she can absorb the souls of her enemies to acquire her abilities, she will be my partner during this apocalypse after Simon leaves
While I was planning my future in full concentration, a scream startled me and took me out of my thoughts
I could hear some quick footsteps towards my room, followed by a quick drop in temperature in the room and strangely enough it seems that the cold doesn't bother me
But then the realization hit me
Simon put on the crown and Betty, surely scared by him, is coming to take me with her and escape.
When Betty came to my door
I can hear her desperately trying to open the door, but the lock is kind of frozen.
She keeps trying to open the door, but she stops for some reason, then I can see a bright light through the gaps in the door, that must be Future Simon's portal.
I can hear a couple of voices talking to her, but I can't make out what they're saying, the next moment the light fades and everything goes silent with the cries of the crazed Simon echoing down the hall.
Looks like Betty went to the future, that leaves two possibilities.
One, she was forcibly dragged into the portal
Two, something made her 100% sure that I would be okay.
Hopefully it will be the second, that would give me the certainty that I will survive at least more than 1000 years
As the seconds go by, I can see snowflakes falling all over the room and on me, something that surprisingly doesn't bother me at all.
This is a situation that I noticed when the temperature dropped but it didn't seem to bother me in the least.
Now that I'm under the snow generated by Simon and I don't feel a bit cold, I know that I must have some kind of resistance against the cold
Touching the snow with my little hands, I can almost feel something, almost as if I can communicate with the snow
I activate my state of full concentration to concentrate on that feeling
The more snow accumulated around me, the stronger the feeling became.
It got to a point where I felt almost connected to the snow, enough to order it to move.
And so I did, I gave the order and the snow obeyed, gathering into a small doll in front of me
This is a huge discovery, with these powers my chances of survival increase exponentially, not to mention the enormous potential that a power like ice manipulation has
With this new power I already have 2 special abilities, I wonder why I have them, does it have something to do with the crown kept under my crib? Maybe the magic of the crown mutated my body somehow
As I thought about all the mysteries that my body contained, the sound of my door opening brought me back to reality.
I realized that Simon's screaming had stopped and now he was in front of me, probably confused and worried.
The moment he saw me, I could almost see the relief filling his body and relaxing him.
I thought he would be fine now that his worries were eased...until I saw him fall face first on the ground
I'll hardly admit that I laughed a little
(We skip the next day)
POV: Simon Petrikov
We can see Simon sitting in the kitchen, with his son Blanche, a few months old baby in front of him and the crown on the table.
After waking up that day a few moments later to see my son holding back a smile, he almost seemed to be laughing at my fall.
After making sure that Blanche was okay, I searched for Betty throughout the house and its surroundings, but there was no result, it is as if she had been erased from existence.
Something must have taken her, if only I were here, I would understand if she had run away without looking back for fear of me, but I know that Betty would never abandon our son
After the fruitless search, I tried to remember what happened that morning after wearing the crown, but I only remember vague visions and strange voices that the end of something was near.
And looking at the whole house covered with snow and ice, I know that the crown is the cause of all this
discovered a true supernatural artifact and used it by mistake, now something or someone took Betty while he was in a trance
I must find Betty and I will use the crown to do it
maybe the crown has some power to help me in my mission
But looking at Blanche in front of me, who was curiously looking at the crown on the table, I couldn't help but doubt
Will the baby be alright with me while I wear the crown and travel in search of my princess Betty?
Still hesitating, I turn my gaze to a painting on the wall, next to a window that gives a view of the buildings
The painting shows a happy couple with a baby in her arms, Betty, me and Blanche
All my doubts are shaken and replaced by a new determination
I want to reunite my family.
(ONE YEAR LATER)
We can see a white-haired man, with a slight scruffy beard and a slightly bluish skin tone, inside a room packing different objects in a large backpack already almost full, packing last clothes for children and a strange book.
This man is Simon Petrikov
he spent a year researching the crown and taking care of his son, who is now a year and a half
The child can now speak clearly
Right now he is preparing to Search for Betty
The crown gave him visions about Betty
Although in his visions she seems somewhat changed, he could recognize her princess no matter what.
The crown prompts him to wear it, it seems that as long as he wears it, he will inevitably meet Betty.
The only problem is that he doesn't know exactly how long it will take him to find her, but he knows that he will.
He saw it in a vision, they embraced, in a kind of laboratory surrounded by ice.
Finishing his preparations and putting aside thoughts of him, he leaves the room and heads towards the kitchen where an almost two year old boy is seen sitting on a chair.
The white-haired boy, with cute green eyes and pale skin, seems to be controlling little snowflakes to float around him and form different shapes.
This sight brought out a soft smile from Simon who approached the boy to speak to him, bending down to be at the boy's height.
"Blanche, it's time, let's go find your mother"
The boy, looking at his father crouched in front of him, spoke clearly, but still with the innocence of a child.
"We're going on vacation to find mommy? Can I go ahead in the car?"
"Haha...of course not, it's very dangerous"
"Awww" the boy complained but didn't argue
Giving a laugh at his son's groan, Simon got up and headed for the door.
His son got down from the chair and followed him, quickly taking his hand.
Simon, already at the door, took one last look at his home, the home where he raised a family.
But now he must leave it behind, for Betty and his son.
To get everyone back together again
The two walk away from the door, which slowly closes, leaving everything in darkness.
They will be the last people to see that place intact
Since... the war began.
A/N: ok, we had the first time-skip, and in the next chapter some things that happened in that period of time will be explained and we will continue the journey of Simon and Blanche a little
Did you like my justifications for Simon's actions?
I hope you like it and I remind you that English is not my first language
Have a good day
