CHAPTER 36.

"She can rewrite history, change reality," Kale continued. '' That's why Caspian was so interested in finding her. ''

"How did she get those powers?" Susan asked.

''Nobody knows. You only know she has them. '' That was the answer. '' And that's ours now. '' A noise was heard in the chamber and Susan ran to see, finding Leandra fainted.

"Our plans are a little late because of Adora, but that will only give us more time to take Leandra's powers away," Caspian exclaimed as he entered the room. "From now on we will have four months to wait. If not less. ''

'' Now the bane begins. Wait. "Kale rolled her eyes.

"Hawk, where's my sword?" Adora asked and watched her husband come out of the closet.

'' Not in the hiding place? Behind the bookcase? "He leaned in and kissed her as his hands went to her belly.

"If I had been there, I would not have asked," she replied softly after the kiss.

"You're not going to transform," he commented. '' She-ra is not being needed and will not be for a long time. ''

'' I will not transform myself! I just want my sword around! "She put her hand on his and felt a kick coming from her belly. Hawk laughed.

"Our daughter agrees with me," Adora added.

'' Adora, relax. Adam is married, the masked ones have not attacked, the masters are on alert in case an attack happens. And another, we have other issues to address. Reforming the baby's room is almost ready, but we still have to choose a name. "

"First tell me where you hid the sword and then we'll talk." She smiled and pulled away.

''This is blackmail.''

"I know." She leaned against the end of the bed and folded her arms.

''Adora.''

She turned her face away, showing that she would not say anything.

After a while he sighed and pointed to the bed. ''Under the bed. On my side, in the secret compartment. The password is 201. ''

''Funny. You know I can not lower myself. "She reminded him. As he bent down to pick up the sword, Adora put her hand on her head and sat down on the bed.

Hawk stood with his sword in his hand and watched her sit down. "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

'' I am, it's nothing. '' She answered and lay down. '' I'm just tired. '' A little lie, but Hawk accepted, after all it was late in the day and she was pregnant. She thought she had felt something in her telepathy, but it was nothing.

She closed her eyes as she concentrated to try to find out if that feeling was true or not, but she lost her concentration as she felt her husband lay down next to her and put her hand on her belly again.

"Lauren," he said abruptly, and she looked up at him.

'' A earth name? ''

''Why not?''

'' Put it on the list, '' she replied and then commented. "You know, there's a name my mother once said ... I really liked that name." She leaned on her elbows.

'' And what would it be? '' He asked.

Days later.

'' Are you sure you do not want us to shorten the trip? '' Teela asked as she spoke on the phone. "But?" She shook her head and Adam smiled. '' Okay, I love you, too. Bye. "She hung up and stared at her husband. '' My father sent a 'hi' to you and assured me that we did not have to go back because there were no attacks.

'' Did not I tell you? '' He pulled her to sit with him. '' We're here to relax, after all, it's our time ... '' He kissed her.

She smiled and returned the kiss.

In the royal palace.

Lohni knocked on the king's office door and waited for him to respond.

"Come in." She heard him and went in.

"Did you send for me, your Majesty?" She bowed and as she straightened up, she saw that the queen and man-at-arms were present as well.

'' Sit down. '' The king pointed at the empty chair in front of her and she obeyed. '' Lohni, I'll get right to the point. You have training as a force captain, do not you? ''

'' Yes sir, I have received various types of training before I can take over. ''

"Well, as you well know, we've been without a captain since Teela left the post and became a princess days ago. I wonder if the vacancy interests you? ''

Lohni was speechless for a second and then asked.

'' Is it serious? '' She looked at the queen, who nodded.

''Yes it's serious. My daughter nominated you to the post and I saw your resume. You are a great warrior, you are brave, you know how to give and obey orders and you are fair. I know there are several differences between a captain of force and guard, but from what I read I know you will have no problem adjusting. So what do you tell me?''

"Yes," she replied without even needing to think. '' Of course! ''

Randor got up and reached out to squeeze hers. '' So welcome to the team, Captain Lohni. ''

"It's a pleasure, your majesty." She smiled.

Then she squeezed the queen's hand and then Duncan.

'' Welcome to the team, '' he commented. '' I hope you do not mind, but we'll start tomorrow. All you need is in your room in about an hour. ''

She thanked him again and left the room, going straight to a specific room. When she reached him she knocked on the door and waited for someone to open and moments later Adora opened and was not surprised to see her old friend standing outside.

'' So? '' The princess asked.

"Your Highness is looking at the new captain of the royal guard!" She opened her arms and then hugged Adora. ''Thanks! I ... I did not think ... ''

'' What would I think you're capable of? Lohni, I've seen you fight over and over over the past few years. I saw you take control and order something in the rebellion while I could not or was far away. You deserve this job, you did not have years of training for nothing! ''

Lohni hugged her again.
