Quest of the Heart Hello and welcome to my first MOTU fan fic. I am writing this due to the inspiration of all the talented authors here, I hope you can give me pointers and suggestions so this will be one of my best stories. I also want to thank THE SORCERESSQUEEN for letting me use her OC Lady Damani and for all the encouragement she gave me to do this. I OWN NOTHING OF MOTU (aside from some action figures LOL)
It's Adam's twenty-sixth birthday and we find King Randor in a foul mood, he has had enough of Adam's cavalier attitude. Just this morning Skeletor's forces attacked the palace, the King was overjoyed to see his son on the battlefield but then Adam ran off leaving Man at arms to face several of Skeletor's robots alone. Luckily He-man showed up a minute later and aided the guard in sending the villians packing, Adam was found an hour later in his office napping. The King decided now was the time to force his son to grow up and be responsable.
That night the High King made an announcement at the Prince's ball, he stated that in one year Adam would marry and if Adam couldn't find himself a bride he would chose one for him. This caused many ladies to smile. Adam laughed and said "In that case father, why don't you just make Teela and I marry?"
Randor replied "Adam this is no joke, you will marry by your twenty-seventh birthday one way or another."
That ended the ball as many could see the fight brewing, Queen Marlena was even madder than Adam. once everyone was gone all hell broke loose as the Queen used words Randor had never heard her use before. Adam was stunned and terrafied as she cursed and threw things. After an hour or so she stormed out but not before telling Randor he would be sleeping alone for quite some time. Randor turns to his son and says "Adam my boy can we have this fight in the morning please?"
Adam growled "Fine but I want you to know I'm not as mad about having to marry as I am about how you announced it, but I'm still pissed." then Adam stormed off.
when Adam got to his quarters he found his mother waiting with Cringer. She asked if she could sleep in his quarters for a few nights, Adam smiled saying if she could handle the snoring she was welcome to. Once inside he asked why she was so mad and what language that was she used, Marlena laughed saying she didn't like Randor just deciding like that besides He-man couldn't show up on the battlefield if he was still on it. Adam gave her a confused look and she said "I have known since I first saw He-man, like I said a mother knows her son and what he can do."
The mother and son spent much of the night talking, then Adam gave her his bed while he slept on his couch. In the morning Adam awoke to his mother eyeing a few of his scares with a sad look on her face. Adam says "Don't worry Mother, those happen yesterday but by tonight there wont even be a scar. I heal fast and completly, I could loose an arm and I would regrow it in a couple days."
Marlena smiled and nodded then said she was off to get some coffee. Adam got showered and dressed then headed to breakfast, it was there he found his father. The look King Randor had was like a deer cought in the headlights as he gulped seeing his son enter. Adam however ate his ham and eggs, drank his orange juice and waited for his father to finish his breakfast. By the time the King finished his coffee he was sweating bullets as he could see Adam was the calm before the storm. As Randor had his last swallow Adam spoke "We need to talk."
Well talking failed and soon became yelling, Randor would not relent on marrage, so when Teela entered the dinning hall Adam walked over got on one knee andsaid "Teela we have been the best of friends all our lives and I have loved you pratically since we met. Will you marry me?"
Teela laughed shaking her head thinking he was joking, then it hit her he wasn't. She quickly said "I thought you where joking, but you're serious. I'm sorry but I love someone else."
Adam asked "He-man?"
Teela said nothing only nodded. Adam stood then excused himself and took his leave. As he headed down the hallway people scattered the look he had was one of pure rage. AS he passed his mother she asked where he was headed his responce made her cringe as it was only one word "Grayskull!"
Adam ran outside grabbed a mini attack-track and headed for the old castle. It took abot an hour to get there but around midday Adam pulled up to Castle Grayskull, the Jawbridge lowered itself for him and he went inside. The Sorceress was surprised when he walked into the throne room and said "Scorceress we need to talk, I think it is time to drop my facade."
The Scorceress says "Adam we have been over this , it's too dangerous."
Adam yells "I have to marry by my next birthday, if I don't chose a bride my father will. To top it off I asked Teela and she laughed then said she was in love with He-man. How the fuck can I find a bride to love me when I can't even be me?"
The Scorceress says "I'm sorry Adam but it's too ..."
Adam cut her off yelling "Fine then I quit, you can take this sword and stick up your.."
She cut him off yelling "Adam!"
He then drew the power sword and tossed it to her, then marched out angerly. All she could do was watch as he left and hope he would change his mind when he cooled down. once Adam was gone the spirit of King Grayskull appeared and said "You done fucked up Teela-Na, he don't need the sword anymore he has the power. All you did was make it harder for him, and lets be honest it was to protect your secret not his."
On his way home Adam saw his parents out on their afternoon coach ride, it was being attacked by some of Skeletor's warriors. Adam charged in Diving off his Mini-Attack-Track he tacled Merman to the ground, he rolled coming up and uppercutting Beastman. Adam had knocked the air out of Merman and just knocked out Beastman in four seconds, as Merman started to stand Adam kicked him in the gut and set him up to powerbomb him. Adam then delivered three devistating powerbombs and waited for either villian to rise. Beastman was the first to stand , however once he did Adam did a move his mother taught him called SWEET CHIN MUSIC. the kick nearly killed the evil warrior. This made an opening for the Queen to put Triclops in the Sleeeper hold while Randor smashed Trapjaw over the head with his mace. Unfortunatly the evil warriors were rescued by a hooded female figure using a teleport spell, they assumed it was Evil-Lyn. Once the villians were gone Adam bid his mother goodbye and headed to the palace to start on a couple projects, as he left Randor watched in awe at his supposedly cowardly son ridding off after basicly beating the crap out of some of Skeletor's generals like they were nothing. Marlena leaned over and whispered "Aren't you glad your fight with him didn't come to blows?" Randor could only nod as a huge bead of sweat dropped off his head, he might have been a scrapper in his youth but not like Adam. Adam was brutal, fast and very strong.
Authors note Okay that's the first chapter I hope you enjoyed it.

I will be updating at least once a week until finished if I can. until next time Have a nice day and HAPPY NEWYEAR
