CHAPTER 25.

'' Father? '' Randor went downstairs and found his father in the medical wing of the castle prison. He was looking at Keldor. ''Father?''

'' Ah? Oh, Randor. What's it?''

'' You missed breakfast. And the novelty of Adora. ''

'' Novelty of Adora? I did not even know she had a surprise. "Miro stood up.

'' Yes, she did. But what surprises me is that you're with him. "Randor nodded at an unconscious Keldor.

'' Randor, he is my son too. It's been years since I last saw him. ''

"Years, is it? What about my brothers and me? Or Adam and Adora? I also spent years without seeing my daughter thanks to this man whom you call son. ''

'' Randor, I missed you all alike! And do not talk like that, he's your brother. ''

''No, it's not. Not after everything he did to this family. Now, are you coming to the party or are you staying with him? ''

After sighing, Miro followed his eldest son.

Many years before.

There was a storm as Max returned to the house, he knew Ashley was worried so he walked faster.

Arriving near a dirt road as he descended the slope to reach the road, he slipped in the mud and hit his head as the rain got even stronger.

'' I'm telling you, this is a waste of time! '' A voice said.

'' I know, but it's the queen's orders. She will not rest until she finds her husband. "Another voice answered.

'' Wait, what's that? ''

'' It seems to be a man, would it ... '' Without wasting time, they ran towards the unconscious man.

There was not much to see, but Eternia's coat of arms was with him and they could see the man's face.

"By the grace of Eternia! It's the king! Come, help me. Let's take him to the transport. "They took the king and helped him to the transport.

'' Do not worry your majesty we're taking you home.'' One of them exclaimed.

The king woke up hours later on a bed in the palace's infirmary, looking around, he saw his wife, Queen Leandra sleeping on a small couch.

"Lea?" He whispered, but that was loud enough for the queen to wake up.

"Miro!" She got up and went to hug him. He returned the hug tightly.

''What happened?''

''You gone. For months. I was so worried! '' She hugged him even harder.

''Truth. The queen never gave up looking for you, your majesty. "Julius entered the infirmary.

'' I'll bet on that. '' Kissing the top of his wife's head, he realized that Julios looked bothered. '' Is there a problem, old friend? ''

'' No. If you'll excuse me majesties, I remembered a subject that I have to take care of. "After bowing, he left the room.

Present days.

'' A great-grandchildreen? '' Miro asked cheerfully and hugged his granddaughter.

'' Randor. We're getting old, "Duncan told his friend.

"I still can't believe she's pregnant," Randor said as he looked at his daughter.

''Me neither. It seems like yesterday was the day Marlena discovered she was having twins. Remember? "Duncan turned to the king, who opened a smile.

''How could I forget. That was one of the happiest days of my life. And to think that soon this palace will be with a baby again ... ''

'' Like I said, we're getting old ... '' Duncan sighed wearily.

That night Randor and Marlena were glowing and smiling. The news of the early morning made the day even more special and today there were no attacks, everyone was enjoying the party.

The kings waltz began and Randor pulled his wife onto the dance floor as Adam approached his sister.

''Are you okay?''

"For the 30th time today, yes, my brother I'm fine." Adora answered again. From the announcement that she was pregnant for the family, every step she took, her brother asked if she was well or needed help.

"I lost count of how many times you asked this today," Teela commented and looked at Adam with a wondering face. "She's only two months. If you're super-protective now I can't even imagine how you'll be in the next few months! "She approached a little more. Walking a little slower because of the long red prom dress.

'' Or when the child is born. Everyone will be protecting and pampering. "Hawk whispered and Adora smiled, knowing it was true.

'' Do you want to dance, sis? '' Adam offered his hand and Adora accepted with a smile. Hawk did the same with Teela.

'' So ... '' Adora said.

'' So ... '' Adam replied.

'' Looking forward to the wedding? ''

'' Nervous indeed. I still need to tell Teela about our little secret. "He led her down the dance floor.

"I suggest you tell her before the wedding," she commented.

'' I know. '' He sighed. '' And you need to lessen She-ra's appearances from now on. ''

Adora laughed. '' Daddy said he does not want to see me on the battlefield. ''

"He's right to want that. He-man can take care of things for a while. ''

'' But you forget that I'm not the kind of person who can stand still. ''

'' That's true. '' Before the prince could say anything else, the wall of the hall was destroyed, screaming and causing several people to run to the other side of the hall. Adam jumped away with his sister to prevent them from being hit by the wreckage as well.

''Well well well. Randor, I do not belive you're throwing a party without inviting us. "Caspian's voice was heard.

"Are you okay?" Adam whispered to his sister, who nodded. '' Come on, we gotta get help. '' They got up and faced Caspian.

"What do you want?" Duncan asked.

'' That kingdom. What else would it be? '' It was the simple answer and the beginning of the battle.

The people who were not fighting were running from one place to another and that was what gave the twins a way out of the room.

Teela saw the brothers leave the room and decided to follow them to keep them both safe.

The brothers ran into an empty room and they both searched the place to make sure they were alone.

"We're alone, Adam." Adora exclaimed.

Teela arrived just in time to hear this and prevented herself from entering the room. She stood in the hallway and looked in through the door lock.

"I know our father does not want you in battle, but I get the feeling that it's going to be necessary." Raising a sword that apparently appeared out of nowhere, Teela saw her fiance and future sister-in-law speak.

'' BY THE POWERS OF GRAYSKULL! ''

'' FOR THE HONOR OF GRAYSKULL! ''

The captain of the guard almost fell as soon as he saw the transformation.

'' It can't be. '' she whispered.
