CHAPTER 15.
'' Where… where did they go? '' Glimmer asked startled, looking at her mother as soon as they stopped glowing.
'' They were sent close to the fear zone. '' A voice answered. Looking up, she saw She-ra 1 and Swiftwind 2 approaching.
'' How did you do that? '' Perfuma looked at her in shock, never having seen such power.
'' I just called my powers and those of the planet to come together. Nothing much, although it was a lot of power ... I had never seen power so concentrated before. '' The princess of power came down from Swiftwind with a frown.
'' Do you know what it is? '' Bow asked and the princess shook her head, no.
'' Well, let's go in. We've already spent a lot of time out here. '' Angela spoke to the group and then looked at Adora. '' Later I'd like to know how you so easily controlled the power of our stone, but at the moment I ask you to do what you promised me yesterday. ''
She-ra 1 nodded and looked at the horizon, as if confirming that there was no one from her time looking. Only when she was sure that no one else was in the horde did she raise her sword and become Adora again.

As Adora 2 did not show any change, her ancestor donated some of the blood to the girl. Although she knew that doctors would first have to see if she was compatible with Adora 2. While waiting for Adora 1 she stayed with the princess's ring. While everyone was talking, she studied the sword of Adora 2. Reading the writings on the blade.
'' Can you read that language? '' Bow 2 asked.
''Yes. In my day there are two types of writing. This and yours. Part of the planet uses one and the other part uses the other, so everyone learns both. ''
'' And what's written? '' Frosta asked.
''Nothing more. The name of the sword and She-ra. '' She replied.
'' Name of the sword? Since when does the sword have a name? '' Mermist asked boredly.
'' Most do. '' Angela replied as she sat on the couch in the private room where everyone was. '' Since almost everything is the same as its time, I believe the names of the swords are the same. ''
'' Uhum. '' Adora agreed without paying much attention and took out her sword and placed it next to it.
'' And it would be? '' Glimmer 2 spoke with a smile.
'' Sword of protection. '' Adora replied. '' But what I don't understand is not the name. The blade looks a little more fragile than mine and the hand guard is the same shape as my tiara. I honestly don't know what to think. '' She put away her sword and placed Adora 2 on the coffee table before leaning against the back of the sofa.
Everyone looked at the princess.
'' And why exactly can't it be said that you're She-ra? '' Perfuma asked out of nowhere.
'' Perfuma! '' Frosta exclaimed.
''I'm curious!''
Adora smiled a little and looked out the window. '' In my day it's very dangerous to reveal that. The true identity of the princess of power is one of the greatest secrets in the universe, in addition to being very difficult. This year I am seven years old as She-ra in October. Seven years hiding this dangerous secret from everyone. Only very few know that Adora and She-ra are the same person, like Madam Razz, Kowl and Broom. But Lighthope has helped me a lot with that and ... '' She stopped talking and snapped her fingers when she looked at the princesses. ''It is!''
Everyone looked at each other without understanding and Adora explained. '' Light Hope. The one from that time! She can help Adora. ''
Bow and Glimmer looked at each other. '' We need to go to the crystal castle. ''
'' Do you know the location? '' Angela asked and her daughter nodded. '' So go now. We don't know what that lightning can do to it if we wait a little longer. ''
The two teenagers stood up. '' Come on. '' Glimmer spoke before the two left running.
Adora 1 took the sword of her descendant and placed it in the fat next to her own before following them.

Swiftwind took them to the crystal castle as fast as their wings could carry them. It didn't take long, and they arrived at the castle door.
'' Adora said she has a password to enter in case someone other than her does ... '' Bow commented.
'' Is the password on the door by any chance? '' Adora asked as she placed her right hand on the cold surface.
'' Yes, you can ... '' Glimmer was interrupted.
'' Eternia. '' Adora spoke and the door opened. Everyone entered.
'' For a moment I forgot that you can read that writing. '' Glimmer exclaimed and Adora laughed a little.
They all walked down a dark corridor and reached the central hall.
Nothing lit up or made any noise, so Adora exclaimed loudly. '' Light Hope! ''
The response was almost immediate. Everything shone in shades of blue, pink and purple.
Light Hope appeared in the middle of the room looking a little scared. And that was very unusual for her.
'' Recognized Administrator. '' She spoke. '' Queen of power. '' She continued and Adora raised an eyebrow. '' What can I do for you, your majesty? ''
'' Queen? '' Bow asked and Adora waved her hand. '' Later. '' She replied and looked back at Light Hope.
'' I want to know everything you've recorded about ancient lightning. Side effects and everything. ''
'' An unusual search majesty. But I will do as requested. '' She is gone.
'' What happened here? '' Glimmer asked.
'' Just what it looked like. Apparently I became queen of power and I am still alive at this time. Now the question that doesn't want to stop is where am I? I from that time, I mean ... ''
The two teenagers looked at each other and Bow spoke. '' She's almost like a computer. You must not have noticed the difference between you now and you from the past. ''
Adora agreed and Light Hope reappeared with various data in different places in the room. Adora walked to the nearest one and started reading. ::: This can take hours. ::: She thought.
'' With all due respect, Your Majesty, I thought you were ... away. ''
Adora was silent without knowing how to respond.
Light hope nodded and asked. '' Something more specific that you want to know? ''
'' How to reverse the symptoms caused by an old energy beam. ''
'' What symptom? ''
'' Unconsciousness and loss of strength. ''
'' Result found. '' All data disappeared and one just appeared in front of the trio. Swiftwind watched from a distance.
The three looked, but only Adora managed to read and frowned after a while. ''Is this right?''
'' I'm afraid so. ''
'' What's right? '' Bow asked in fear.
'' And do you have it here? ''
'I have part of the ingredients. But the last one has been missing for a thousand years, since Mara brought us to the dimension of despondos. ''
Adora immediately raised her head. '' Who did what? ''
'' Oops, this isn't the time to know that. '' Glimmer practically screamed. '' We'll talk about Mara later. ''
'' What's missing? '' Bow looked at the list, but couldn't read it, he thought to himself of making Adora teach him to read that writing after she woke up.
'' Starlight. '' Adora replied. '' How in a starless world am I going to get starlight? ''
'' I thought it was impossible to catch the starlight ... '' Glimmer risked speaking. When she was little, she studied about. No success stories have been recorded.
'' Difficult, but not impossible. '' Adora looked at her. '' Casta has done this once. It took days, but it did. She never used it. Maybe she still has ... '' She looked at Light hope, who handed over a bag full of things. '' Thank you, but we have to go now. ''

When they were gone, Bow asked.
''What's the plan?''
'' I'll go back to my time. Ask Castaspella for the starlight and I'll be back as soon as possible. '' She handed the bag to Glimmer.
'' What if there's an attack? ''
'' They attacked a short time ago, it will take a while to gather the troops and that all are in accordance with the plan. '' Adora raised her sword and transformed.
'' How are you going to get back? We don't have portals here ... '' Glimmer held her arm after the transformation.
'' Light Hope will open one. '' She-ra replied.
'' But ... '' Bow said.
'' My Light Hope. '' She clarified.
The two teenagers watched as a portal opened in front of the princess of power. '' Go back to the Brightmoon palace and wait for me. Don't touch the bag, and don't let anyone touch it, okay? I'll be right back. '' She crossed the portal.
The two teenagers climbed the Swiftwind and returned to the palace.
