Impostor Syndrome: the fear of being found out.

(?)= backwards

🥀.  

     

       The ice prince rolls out two drawers with a skeptical face. Silverware was stashed in both. Forks and knifes were neatly placed in, it brought out an odd sight to the prince. Everything in the world is mixed up except silverware. I'm going to freeze this entire world once I get my power back. He vows.

{?}"?Taht si tahW" The yellow eyed demon's voice makes the prince slightly jump,"You s-s-scared me!"

{?}"?DnA"Bill cocks his head to the side with a silly smile.

Finn raises a brow,"W-What? Speak r-r-right I-I-I can't understand y-you!"

{?}".Eno wonk ot eno sekaT" Bill seemed to argue back.

"Please don't m-m-make th-i-is more difficult."Finn whines.

"Just give me those you weirdo!"Bill shouts as he grabs a hand full of silverware and stashes them in his coat pockets. He walks away from Finn to annoy Wirt, who keeps looking out the window of the small cottage.

"I think you made it clear."Bill announces.

      Wirt ignores the petite child next to him, tugging at his coat's end. He glances to the right then left side of the dead field in the farm. His eyes linger to the bow cloudy sky. Droplets fall from the sky. The clouds spit.

"I'm tired, and hungry all the time. You ran, we ran--we can't keep running forever right?"

"We can with me."Wirt speaks out still looking outside.

"I want to fight back."Bill states.

      This brings Wirt's full attention. His cold eyes glow as he glares at the boy. "Then go ahead. No one's telling you to stay."

"And no one's telling you to keep keeping us hostage."

"...."

"You care."Bill crooks his head to the side with a seductive smirk. His eye brows arch up to sympathize with the tall gnome.

      Wirt squints at the demon then turns to the window, there's  no point in lying if he knows. Bill let's out a deep sigh,"I thought you said this was your realm, and now you're letting those idiots take it away from you. How sad."

"If you think provoking me with the idea that I can't take care if my world properly then you're making a mistake." The tall gnome frowns.

"Doesn't matter--"

"But it does to you. You're trying to use me to get your enemies out." Wirt turns to Bill, and accidentally shoves him.

"I'm not just using you. I'm also using Finny here, and...myself. Aren't we the baddest in the multiverse? That's what that talking slug said."Bill frowns.

"W-We did nothing w-wrong th-thought."Finn fights back.

"Exactly. We gotta get my power back!"Bill jumps in excitement.

"A-And m-mine." Finn takes off his crown to look at it with sad eyes.

     Wirt looks out the window, Us three, the 'baddest in the multiverse' versus what ever Time Baby is? I maybe I can finally get them to leave. We have a demon, a some-kind of ice sorcerer, and then there's me. Can we win versus an entire army in the sky? It varies.

"Do you lose your mind when you have your power?"Wirt asks Finn."I know you do." He cuts off Bill who raises his hand to speak. The demon pouts and drops his arm.

"M-Mostly."Finn shyly rubs his thumb on the red ruby in front of his crown.

     That's a yes. It might be a stretch, but we can do it. If I let the Beast's power in me then I'll lose my mind as well, but there's no other choice is there?...maybe I won't have to seeing as if we have two psychopaths. Wirt nods,"I'll come just to kick them out."

"Liar!"Bill sneers with a playful smile.

"Don't test me or I'll put a stake on your stupid head."

"Yay!"

"S-So i-it's settled? W-W-We're fighting b-b-b-back?"Finn studders hugging his crown like a fragile baby. His messy blonde hair falls after his hood is pulled by the sly demon. Bill confidently shrugs his shoulders,"Ya bet fishy! Oh I can't wait!"he claps his hands clearly exited.

"Y'all can take care of that toddler right?"

"I'll murder you." Wirt swipes his head quickly at Bill with a strong frown.

"M'kay...hey Finn can you take care of the idiot please?"Bill stares bored at his fingernails, leaning on Finn's shoulder.

"B-Bill cl-cl-clearly you d-d-dragged me a-and Wirt into your pr-problem. I-It's your j-j-job to finish it."Finn shoves him away.

"Well I just refuse to, besides the reason I got here is because I was just--"

"You ran away because you were scared?" Wirt raises a brow.

"NO! I was fighting with the toddler over who gets first dibs on the cookies then he attacked me, I teleported here, and if you think about it I AM clearly the victim here!"Bill rolls his eyes nonchalantly at the tall gnome.

"So you were fighting with him before you came here?"Wirt asks.

"Yeah."

"I-I was fighting w-w-with someone before I came h-h-here."Finn exclaims.

"I teleported and got here."Bill comments.

"Tell me more about your fight Finn."

"....I-I was freezing a-a village th-then an an-annoying brat ca-came along. O-One girl was a v-v-vampire while the ot-other had fire powers. W-We clashed? M-Maybe. Then I ended u-up here."Finn shyly rubs his elbow looking at the floor nervous of what Wirt would think.

       Wirt turns to Bill nodding,"You?" He asks.

"I told you I won!"Bill crosses his arms yelling at the gnome. Wirt briefly turns to glare at the sky,"No you didn't."

"YES I DID YOU PRE-ORDERED HICKING NIT-PIKING IDIOTIC EXISTING WORM!"

"So something made you too come here?...are you two....maybe?"Wirt bites his lip thinking.

"What is it?"Bill tugs on Wirt's coat weakly.

"I think--"Wirt tugs back on his coat, ripping it away from the annoying demon's hands,"--that you two might be dead."

🥀.  Time Baby's Realm;

           The giant dictator overlooks his radiant red city. A crowd cheers below holding signs not of joy for their ruler's return, but for anger that he came back. Soldiers held their defensive position at the gates. Time Baby frowns,"Kill them all."he says to the soldier filled with ennui, and unbothered. The pain bows quickly to his lord then sprints out the large doors.

"Wait." Boom! The large doors shut close. The soldier slams his body against the hard door, he shakes his head confused. Osto smirks widely with her violet eyes glowing faint. She's returned to her old state.

"Are you apprehending my order you filthy witch? You used all the power I gave you." Time Baby flips around to growl at the grinning old hag standing next to his messenger.

"Can I offer my assistance? I want to get rid of that crowd for you, I can't stay trapped in here forever. I need to walk put and breathe like a bird." Osto ticks her head to the side slowly sauntering in a waddle to her allie.

"You don't have power, how can you possibly--"

"I have--"

"DON'T INTERRUPT ME YOU WITCH!"

        Osto closes her mouth instantly, and halts her weak pace. The soldier slowly stands up looking for a place where he can hide. Osto blinked a smug smile,"Pretty please?"

"Get out of my sight." Time Baby orders.

      Osto waddles out the two doors that open by the touch of her fingers. She waves at the dictator before closing the doors swiftly with her arm. The doors pound close. Time Baby stares out the window to see the crowd growing. How did his people not like him? They're nothing more than human slaves, he reminds himself. The crowd starts to shout words Time Baby cannot gear together.

"What are they saying?"

       The petite soldier peaks out from the giant pillar. He tip toes hurried to his lord, and slams the side of his face on to the glass. His ear smudged on the clear window picks up faint mixed cries, "They're saying,' You're not our king!' and 'The demon is!'."

      Time Baby's eyes glare bright wine red, his scowl darkens,"What?" He spits out venom in his voice. The soldier shakes,"They keep saying 'who are you, you're not our king!'"

      "I am their king, can they not see! I am the physical form of time and space itself! I cannot be compared to that filthy rat." Time Baby booms, his voice echoes so loud that the stain windows shatter into a million pieces. The crowd cheers louder.

"They keep chanting that 'time has changed'."The soldier squeaks as he lays on the floor in a ball. He rocks himself back and forth.

"Time? Changed? It's been two weeks since that devil's scum has ran away from our fight. How is he their king? I AM KING!"

       Osto waltz out of the palace gates, and shouts,"Be quiet!" She throws out her hands to shoot purple fire out of her palms. The flames reach like giants claws at their victims in hunger. They swallow whole the bodies of children, men, and women in protest. When the large wave of fire evaporates into the red sky, all that's left is stone human statues. They melt into dust, and fly towards Osto who opens her mouth. She devours the grains of red sand. Her eyes flicker bright pomagrate red. She laughs maniacally as her beauty returns to her slowly. Her fair honey skin resurfaces above her scale white.

"That witch his mad, they're all mad." Time Baby looks at disgust at Osto who keeps laughing,"How can they--"

       A large range of thoughts in black colors cloud over Time Baby, "Did....did that demon...what-how?"

"It's almost time! So close to TIME! I CAN SENSE IT I CAN FEEL IT!"Osto hugs herself as she drops to her knees at the sky.

     The sky suddenly turns black charcoal. The clouds mimick each other's color, and hunger for perfection. They copy the black all through the sky. Everything gets dark like a storm emerged from the cracks of hell.

"THE DEMON CHANGED TIME! THEY CHANGED TIME!"Osto cackles opening her arms at the sky. She fidgets as she lays on the ground. A couple of guards collect her and take her inside by the arms.

       As she's dragged in she let's out a wicked laugh. The doors close.
