Hello everybody, i just want to say that i was only joking when i have backmail for a review, even if i really like to know what my readers think about my story. I want to say too that this story would be finished. I really hate when i read a good story who is left unfinished. I always hope to read an end and often when the story is in progress without an updeate since more than three years i write my own ending but i know it's not the same if i had read the real ending. That's why i post only a story at time even if i have write two or three more stories, i want to give you only complete stories. Now i let you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 21 : Wonder
In the Fright zone Hordak is looking at his servent. He is ashamed to have to work with them. Only Horde prime had force him to take them with him to Etheria. Hordak hate his brother with all his being. He is jealous of him, it was him who must have been at the head of the horde. If only he don't have messed up everything twenty years ago in this doomed planet. Not only he had lost one of his powerful servent but also his only hope to be named the king of the horde one day. Even his abduct of Adora can't have help him to be seing in a better way by their father. It was his brother's plan who had screwed up everything but their father had not seen the thing like this and all the fault had felt to his head. Their father had disowned him and send him to this planet, far away from the horde's headquarter. His only joy at this time was to try to pervert Adora's soul but he don't have succed at this. The thought of Adora made him angrier than ever. He had try to make of her one of the best warrior for the horde and he had succed until the brother of her had show up and broke the mental spell Shadow weather had to her. After that Adora had joint the rebellion and she had fight him. He want her to come again with the horde not because he lover her but because he hate her family. What a better way to make them suffer than to see their beloved daughter doing evil again ?
Mantenna wonder when Hordak want to calm his nerve by letting him falling into one of the trap the throne's room hold. He is really worried, never before Hordak had seem so angered. And he can see the same worry in the face of Catra, Grizzlor and maybe Shadow weather. The witch is good at hiding her feelings so her fellow warriors don't know if she is really worried or not. Mantenna don't know why Hordak is in such a bad mood, after all, they have killed the four spy Hord prime want to be killed. It was a simple task to them. Finally Mantenna caught Hordak's eyes and he can't help but feel fear. His master had only this sort of look when he plan to do something hard on him. And actually he is right, before he can move he found himself in the water beneath the throne's room floor.
- I have enough of all of you ! Shout Hordak.
- But master, say the only one of them who don't be afraid by Hordak, why are you so angry with us ? The mission was a success.
- A success ? Tell me Shadow weather how your mission was a success ?
- We have killed all the spy and the rebels have not understand why.
- Are you sure they are all dead ?
- Yes the machine had work only five time the last year before she was destroyed so i am sure that there is no one who can fulfille the prophecy.
- Five ?
- Miew, the last was killed when the machine had explose, miew. We are sure of this.
- How are you so sure ? Have you seen the body ?
- There is no need Hordak. The explosion had killed most of the prisonners and i have ordered that the survivor was killed too. She can't have escape of her fate, there is no way.
- I hope for you that you are right, but i don't believe you. What had exactly happen with the machine ? Why had she explose ?
- the subject was a sorceress and she had fight my spell. I have underestimate her and her magic had overwhelmed my. That's why the machine can't have stand so much power and had explose. It had take all her energy to fight my spell and i'm positive that she was killed by the explosion. The only way to escape at her fate was for her to teleporte herself outside of the jail but it was impossible without i feel it. So yes Hordak, the five last experiment were now all die.
- Do you know how the spy would have destroy the horde ?
- Miew, no, there is no need to know.
- Idiots ! All of you ! You have killed them without knowing what they know ! Must i make all by myself ? Have you a brain ?
- What do you mean ?
- I want to know why our master is so afraid. There is something more than what he had said to me, but now, i can't ask to the spy about what they know. Thanks to all of you. Fortunatly i have a good ally who is ready to help me. MIKI !
- You have call me master ?
- Yes. I want you to go to the horde's headquarter. There find why my brother is so afraid. I want to know all of his secret. Do you think you can do that ?
- For you master yes. I'm just sad because i have some count who are waiting me there.
- I know it and i swear you than nobody else but you will kill the rebel named Trishia. All of my men knew this and you can be sure that she is still alive when you return from your mission.
- Thank you master. I will find what you want.
- I'm sure of it, i'm sure of it my dear.

In the palace of Eternia, king Randor had tears of relief falling in his cheek. Only one hour ago he had finally succed to contact Duncan in Etheria. Since a week the king found that it is hader than ever to contact Etheria. Even the sorceress of Grayskull can't have find an answer at this phenomenon. There is something who had bothered the king when he had see the sorceress, something out of place, like if it is not the same woman he had seen before. He had ask her if she is the woman he had met before and she had answer him that her place was always to be the sorceress of Graykull. The king had not want to bothered her and had leave castel Grayskull soon. He had feeling strange when he had come to see the sorceress. Usually, it's Duncan who come to see her and it's a first for the king. Even Adam seem to have come here often but the king don't know why.
His son is so a mystery for him that he wonder if he had ever know his own son. Before the death of Teela, the king was very disappointed by his son, his lazy way to take the life, his cowardy in battle. But after Teela's death the king had begin to understand that his son had play an act. Adam was not as lazy as his father had think, nor he was as irresponsible than almost all the courtiers think. The king had seen an other face of his son's personnality when Adam had lost one of the most important people in his life. That's why he was less harch with his son when he had run away from the battle. Adam had startled all the court by his acting after the funeral. Even the member of the council of Eternia can't say anything against Adam's skill in politic. The prince had shown unexpected skill both in his role as prince and in his role of master than now all of the courtier think only good things of their prince. The king wonder if it will last long if Adam choose the Etherian's rebel for wife. Duncan had not want to say so much about this and the king know that there is something more than what his friend had say to him.
- Is everything all right ? Randor ? Something had happen to Adora or to Adam ? Ask a now worried Marlena.
- No my dear, everything is fine. Adam is fine, he is with Adora now.
- Thanks the ancient ! That's such a relief ! But what had happen to him ?
- I don't know. Duncan had not say so much about this, just that Adam is safe and that we don't need to worry about him anymore.
- I see.
- What are you talking about Marlena ?
- What do you think if Adam is bethroted with someone ?
- You mean one of the royalty who fight with the rebellion ?
- Them or someone else.
- I don't know. I think i will be glad to know that Adam had choose someone who had a same rank than him for wife. On the other hand i know it will be hard for Adam's wife to leave her kingdom to come to live in Eternia.
- There is no need. Adora can be the next queen.
- No, she can't. Don't misunderstand me, i really love our daughter and i am proud of her. In the past i was more prouder of her than of Adam. But nothing can change the fact that it was Adam who was raise in Eternia. Our people love him and they expected to have him for king one day. Nothing can make they change their mind. They don't want Adora for ruler, they want Adam.
- And if Adam had not choose a royalty for bride ?
- It doesn't matter for our people as long as she make Adam happy. You know it's funny, i have always say to Man-at-arm and the other that i want Adam to marry a royalty but i have never think that he will do it.
- Why ?
- Because, like my people, all that i have only wish is to see my son happy with the woman who will share his life one day.
- The woman who will share his life ? Have you thinking at someone in particular ?
- Yes i have, since the day she had ask to be Adam's trainer in fight. I had give her the position of bodyguard because it will give her more opportunity to stay with him without having bad coment from the courtier. It was so simple to understand her at this time.
- Are you talking about Teela ?
- Of course. Even if i can't have say it to her father i have seen the begin of love between Adam and Teela, and i was really pleased by this. She was like a daughter for me.
- But i have always thinking that you will not be happy if Adam choose Teela for bride.
- I think we are good at hiding our true feelings in our family. But, think of it Marlena, Why was it only Duncan and Teela who eat with us at all meals ? Don't you think if i disagree for the match i would have find a way to made Duncan understand that i want to eat only with you and Adam ? Duncan is my friend for too long for being angry with me if i want to spend time alone with my family. Moreover, Teela was no longer a girl and she was the capitain of the guard, she can have eat with them.
- Oh my god ! I have never take time to think of this.
- It's normal. Even Teela had change with Adam when he had turn eighteen, when He-man had show for the first time. Like the other i have seen Teela fall in love with He-man, or at last being fascinated by the hero's power and wisdom.
- What do you mean by being fascinated ? Teela was in love with He-man.
- I don't think so. Or else she don't have start to look at Adam with eyes full of love when he can't noticed it.
- When have you see it ?
- Six month before her death. I am sure that she was not in love with He-man anymore at this time, but she was too shy and she don't have had a chance to tell to Adam her true feelings.
- Why have you not say this to me when i have try to convince you to send Adam to Etheria ?
- Because i was not ready. It's only two month ago that i have finally understand all the meaning of my action. I was not ready to understand that i have always wish to have Teela for daughter-in-law. All this time i have think that Teela was only Adam's best friend and that's why i was so nice with her but i was wrong. Deep down i have always knew what i just have explain to you but i have hide this fact from myself.
- So you say that if Teela was still alive you had want her to marry Adam ?
- Of course, Adam had never stop to love her and i don't think she can have found a better husband than him. I have marry you because i have fall in love with you and Adam had feel the same way with Teela for more than ten years.
- You are right, she was the better match for him. Now, who know who he will choose for wife ?
- I don't know but if i must bet i will think that this rebel named Trishia will be the winner.
- Are you mad with this ?
- Not exactly. But i want to see her before giving my blessing.
- You want to give them a hard time ? Tease the queen.
- Not exactly but i want to know if she is worthy Adam's love. I know, it will be hard for someone to take Teela's place in Adam's heart and i know that only an exceptional woman can have win his heart. So i'm not bothered by his choice. Adam had an incredible wisdom for his young age. I'm just worried that he think of her only as Teela's replacement.
- Adam would not do something like this.
- I know, but i want to be sure.

In Etheria, Sea hawk is ready to leave the whispering wood. He had not plan to stay so long here but with the return of Adam and Trishia, the feast and Miki's escape, the time had pass too quick. The capitain is not worried by this, on the contrary. he had really love to spend so much time with Adora and his sister. He had begin to known his new brother-in-law and he is relly happy for her, she can't have dreamed of a better husband. Hawk had understand why he had think that they had grown together, it's because it was really the case. It is strange to him to think of his sister as capitain Teela of the royal guard. For him she will stay forever the young woman named Trishia who has sail with him in his ship for months. Nothing can change the memory he had of his only sister, not even her adopted family of Eternia. Hawk really love Duncan but the man can take the same place in his heart that he take in Trishia's heart. Even Teelana seem to look at Trishia with softer eyes. Hawk is not afraid for his sister, with such a friend and family he know that nothing bad will happen to her when she will return to Eternia to live there. Even if she had not say a word about this he know that his sister would follow her husband wherever he want to go. And Hawk knew that the prince would be the king of his own planet one day. It is strange to him to think that his twin sister would be the queen of a planet one day. He, for himself want to sail in his ship and it doesn't matter to him where he would sail, in Etheria or in Eternia, as long as Adora stay with him. He don't have the gut to propose her just now but he know that he will do it soon.
- Hello brother, say Trishia cutting his thought. Are you thinking of a way to ask Adora to marry you ?
It stunned him. It's not the first time that Trishia seem capable of reading his thought. She had do the same with her own adopted father more than one time. Maybe Trishia had some power. It make sens to him, he can feel it. Their father was right, the bond they share is really strong. Only the bond Adam and Trishia share is stronger than this.
- What make you think that i am thinking about this ?
- I don't know. Maybe the fact that you seem so lost in your thought.
- I think about many things.
- Sure. But i have not come here for this. I have a question to you.
- Yes, what it is ?
- You leave the wood tomorrow morning, right ?
- Yes, why ?
- I want to come with you.
