A/N: Hey guys, bit of a shorter post this time around but for good reason. Specifically: I had a lot of fun with the 30-1 minutes worth of show I put into this one XP. I kid you not I probably added 30 seconds worth of story from the episode in this one, kinda give you guys an easier read and a break for a change compared to the other chapters. On top of that, I posted this piece early because as it stood, the episode would've been extremely long if I posted the rest of the episode along with this 30 seconds of footage XP.
So with that said, i hope everyone enjoys this "brief", albeit fun little episode. Apologies if anythings rushed, was having a bit of a wonky day so writing might not be 100% today. Either way enjoy!

"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No..."
"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!"
Glimmer was just about ready to tear her hair out at a moment's notice. For the last half hour, the trio that consisted of Princess Glimmer, her friend Bow, and the Horde soldier they met named Catra had been walking through the Whispering Woods on their way to one of the nearby villages to help transport them to Brightmoon Castle.
To say the day was full of "interesting" events would've been an understatement. In less than a day, her mother grounded her, she snuck out in search of lost First Ones' technology, came upon a magic sword, captured a Horde soldier, discovered a saddening sight of a desecrated village, got attacked by a giant bug monster, watched the sword transform Catra into some sort of magical warrior, escaped into a Great Ones' Ruins, almost collapsed the entire ruin after somehow activating it, using all her remaining magic to teleport the three of them out of there,
And none of it was as bad as what came after.
After noticing Catra's demeanor when it came to the Horde, Bow came up with the interesting idea of possibly recruiting her to their side, which wasn't a bad idea in all fairness. The only thing better than a captured Horde soldier that wouldn't cooperate was one that would, knowing all the ins and outs of the Horde and be willing to divulge as much information as she possibly could. Not to mention it was less likely she would lie about anything if she was willing to do it.
Unfortunately for Glimmer, that meant putting up with Catra's annoyance for the last half hour as they tried to reach the village. Not once since they started this trek did Catra keep her mouth shut, the seemingly-former Horde soldier finding it far too amusing to annoy the Princess, knowing she couldn't do anything that would risk her changing her minds and ruining her chances of proving herself to her mother. Catra was fully aware of this little detail as well.
And man was she loving it!
She could do whatever she wanted, say whatever she wanted, and, as she fully intended, get anything she wanted out of this. She knew Pinky, her little nickname for Princess Glimmer, wouldn't try to pull anything as long as she was with them, and, knowing she was out of magic, she didn't have to worry about her casting some sort of silencing spell or teleporting Catra off a cliff or anything.
The only one who seemed immune to Catra's annoyance was Bow himself, which was probably for the best for Catra. While he did know she was doing it intentionally, it was his idea in the first place to bring him, and Glimmer definitely would've been more irritated if he took back his offer just because things were starting to annoy him. As long as she just tried to annoy Glimmer he was alright with it, provided things didn't turn violent like it appeared it would soon.
"Are we there-"
"You can see we're obviously not there," Glimmer pointed out as she looked back, "so why do you keep asking?"
"Does it annoy you?" Catra asked with a cheeky grin and her arms crossed.
"Yes!"
"Well there you go." She laughed silently as she saw Glimmer squeeze her head. It was like being the passenger in the backseat of a car. She was bored as heck of walking through the woods for who knows how long by now, so she had to entertain herself. At this, she slowly leaned herself forward, head coming closer to Glimmer's ears, and took a deep, quiet, breath. "Haaaaaaah... arewethereyet?"
"NGGGGGGGH-!"
"Yes!" Bow answered smiling, catching their attention.
While it did ruin Catra's hope for any future fun, she did find herself curious and surprised by the sight ahead. This was the very first town she's seen since leaving the Fright Zone, and it was.. different. Very different. There wasn't steam anywhere from the machines, no guards patrolling the streets, there was a surprising array of color amongst the buildings and decorations around the town, and there weren't people harassing each other over the most minor of details. And it wasn't just filled with humans. It had a grand number of hybrid people around here too, many of them with twisted ears and horns on their head.
"Welcome to Thaymor." Bow introduced.
"So this is Thaymor, hu-Ahhhh!" Catra let out a startled yelp as she suddenly felt another yank by her tail, pulling her back behind the building. She hissed as she pulled back her sore tail, giving a glare to the pink princess. "Hey! What did I tell you about grabbing a person by their tail?!"
"What do you think you're doing?" There was no telling if that was a rhetorical question or not coming from a princess.
"Uhh... going into town?" Catra answered with a questionable tone.
"What? In that?" Glimmer gestured to the entirety Catra's outfit. "You're a Horde soldier! Everyone's going to know who you are at first glance!"
"Well what do you want me to do? It's not like I brought a change of clothes you know."
"Already got you covered." Bow stated as he removed Catra's helmet and tossing it in a nearby bush. Before she had a chance to growl back, she suddenly found herself covered with a strange bluish tunic that stretched to her left thigh. As if this wasn't enough, the final nail on the coffin was a small pink flower placed on the left side of her head. If Adora was here to see her, Catra would immediately use up eight of her nine lives after dying repeatedly from embarrassment.
It only gave Glimmer more satisfaction noticing the slightly pink blush growing on her face, feeling a small bit of justice being served for the previous annoyance. "It's not the best look, but I think it will do."
"Ok. The flower? Absolutely not." Catra stated as she shook it out of her hair, only for it to be replaced a second later. "Mmmmhhhh..."
"Come on Catra, just for a little while." Bow said as he led the way into town. "You need to blend in until we can get a ride to Brightmoon."
"And a low profile." Glimmer added. "We don't want to be attracting too much attention around here."
"I doubt that's gonna be a problem." She said as she watched the crowds of people set up decorations. "They're too busy doing something weird. Did someone die or something?"
"What? No, that's just a festival they're setting up." Bow replied. To his shock, Catra just raised a brow to this, revealing what he could hardly believe. "Haven't you ever been to a party before?"
"Par-tees? That some kind of food?"
"Oh my gosh, how have you never been to a party before?" Whatever confusion was on his face quickly changed to excitement because the next thing Catra knew, he was trying to pull her to one of the nearby stands. "Come on, you've got to experience one!"
"What? No!" Glimmer yelled quickly running up in front of him to block his path. "Bow, we don't have time for this! We have to get to Brightmoon right away!"
"Glimmer, please, this is serious!" He decreed holding her shoulders. "She's never been to a party before. EVER!" Glimmer just moaned as his eyes sparkled at this.
"Uhh if it's all the same, I think I'd rather sit out on this one. I don't do things with crowds."
"What? Catra come on, you don't know what you're missing! There's food, there games, there's a whole lot of people to meet-" He insisted.
"I said no! You already got me wearing Pinky's frufru outfit, I don't need anymore attention!" She insisted crossing her arms.
While she could've gone without that frufru comment Glimmer was at least glad Catra had the same level of discreteness as she did. "Then in that case, you won't mind waiting around here while we find someone to give us a ride to Brightmoon."
"And let you leave with the sword? Yeah right!" Catra grumbled back.
"We're not going to leave you if you really plan on joining the Rebellion. It's just that if you really don't do that well in crowds, you're better off waiting here by yourself. It's probably gonna take us awhile to find someone who can transport us." Glimmer explained.
"Mmmhhh fine, just make it quick." Catra ordered as she leaned against a wall with her arms still crossed, ears lowering in annoyance. As much as she hated to admit it, Glimmer did have a point. The more people she saw, the more they might want to talk to her. The more they might want to talk to her, the more she would have to talk back. And the more she would have to talk back, the closer she would be to clawing the next person to annoy her!
"Gladly. Come on, Bow."
"Awww but the festival..." Bow moaned audibly as Glimmer dragged him away. He didn't know if it was more depressing that Catra's never been to a party before or she had no interested in one.
"Hmph, what's the big deal about these stupid parties anyway..." Catra mumbled looking around.
In all honesty she was actually curious about these party things he mentioned, but at the same time she didn't want any part of it or the other people. The only person she's ever managed to get along with or even come to call something close to a friend was Adora, and not one of these people seemed to have the same head on their shoulders as she did. They just seemed too giddy, out of character, they acted like everything was alright with the world and there was nothing else to worry about.
Like the war going on for crying out loud!
In fact, she actually found it a bit insulting! Why on Etheria did these people get to go about their daily lives with stupid smiles on their faces while there was a war going on? What gave them the right to live free and jolly while everyone else either suffered or were suffering from this war? It didn't exactly look professional to pretend everything was right with the world while someone else suffered! At least in the Horde even young cadets knew what was going on and were preparing for their futures, they weren't holding hands, singing songs, or some annoying festival while everyone else worked.
She didn't even understand the appeal anyway. Why bother celebrating things for no rhyme or reason? They made people do stupid things, made them lazier and incompetent compared to how they already are, and they wasted so much money that could be used for resources and such. Instead they were all just running around like a bunch of morons laughing and dancing while someone else somewhere was fighting a war.
Like herself!
*thud*
"Ah!" Catra yelped a little as something collided into her legs. Looking down, she saw several kids with goat horns, Satyrs as they're called, like the adults had that came up to her waist, presumably seven or eight years old, with the one in front of the group rubbing their head a little.
"Ow..." He mumbled.
"Hey, watch where you're going, brats!" Catra hissed, instantly sending shivers down the spine of the several children.
"S-Sorry!" The head one apologized quickly before the groupie of kids ran off in fear.
Oh yeah, that was the other thing that annoyed her. Kids. Painfully obnoxious,painfully stupid, and painfully annoying kids. If there wasn't one thing wrong with them there was another. If there was one mess they made, there was another mess to clean up. All they did was break everything they came across or hurt someone else from too much rough housing too much.
Sure, she was a kid too at one point, but at least she knew her place better than most of the kids she grew up with in the Horde. On top of that, she only ever hung around Adora through a majority of her life, and while she wasn't a stranger to pranks and such, at least they had the decency to clean the messes up after.
Usually because Adora insisted on it.
*thunk*
"Ugh," and the annoyance just continues as someone else crashed into her leg, "what did I just tell you- Oh."
Well this was a bit different. This wasn't like the last several children she had to deal with that were rowdy and rambunctious. This one was rather... young. Real young. Like four-years-old by the looks of it since she barely came up to her knees. She was wearing a nice little light blue tunic with woolen brown sandals like many of the others had, and had tranquil blue eyes with short pink hair. And the most notable thing about her was what Catra detested most about kids.
She was a mess.
Here was a four-year-old girl who collapsed on her behind after bumping into Catra, and she was a mess. She had this strange colored purple smear over her tunic and her face, and upon closer inspection, Catra noticed she got some of that strange food stuff on her own tunic, though she wasn't too bothered by it since they weren't hers to begin with.
From what she could gather from all of this, the little kid must've been eating something when she bumped into Catra in a hurry, smushing whatever it was across herself and the bottom of Catra's tunic.
And she looked ready to cry.
"Mhmmmhhhh..." She whimpered, sniffling a little as her eyes watered.
"W-What... What are you doing?" She was too powerless to resist drooping her ears at this.
"Nghhhh..." She sniffled again. How was Catra supposed to resist frowning a little when she had a kid crying right in front of her.
"St... stop that. Come on, it wasn't that big of a deal right?" Her hopes that her orders were somehow listened to were ignored as the kid continued to whine. "Come on, stop it. It... it was just food, ok?" Shockingly this was only met with more crying, "Mmmmh..." Catra took a brief glance at her surroundings, remembering she was supposed to keep a low profile, then crouched in front of the little girl.. "Come on, it's not that bad. Here, look." She gave a small lick to her own thumb before helping to wipe off whatever she could of the girl's face, then wiped off any food chunks she could from the girl's tunic.
"There, you see? No biggie. Now run along and go do whatever, ok?"
"Mmmhhh..." Catra groaned internally as the whimpering continued.
"What's wrong now?"
*gurgle*
As if to answer Catra's question itself, the next thing she heard was a small gurgling hunger emanating from the girl's stomach. "Let me guess, you're hungry?" For the first time the little girl replied with something other than more whimpering as she nodded. With a roll of her eyes and a quick look around she spotted a stand that was selling, what she believed to be despite the weird appearance, food. "All right, come on." She directed as she took the girl's hand and walked over to it.
She presumed whatever they were selling was some sort of food thing after watching another couple take something from the stand eating it, though the look of the strange fruit things left. "Um... hello?
"Hello, how can I help you?" The Stand's owner greeted.
"Uhh could I get some of that fruit or something for her? I don't have any money but-"
"Oh, nonsense, the food is free for the festival." The owner informed her as she handed her a pink-colored piece of food. "Here, hope you enjoy!"
"Um... thanks, I guess?" It felt so weird for her to be given something by someone she's never met before, but she quickly shook it off as she walked over to the little girl again. "Here, will this make you happy?" She watched as the girl took the strange food, her sniffling and whining being replaced with a more curious look as she switched glances between the food and Catra. After waiting several seconds for any sort of response, Catra finally sighed as she rose back to her feet. "Well... there you go. Hope you're happy kid, later."
Well that was an interesting way to waste a few minutes. Hopefully she could go through the rest of the day without any more unwanted attention, especially from a little kid.
Sadly fate wasn't so kind when she felt a tugging on her tunic exactly three seconds later after walking away. Doing whatever she could to surprise a moan she turned her head back as she looked down to the curious goat girl. "What?" She really did not want to spend the entirety of the day with her. It wasn't anything towards her specifically of course, she just didn't trust kids enough to be alone with them. One moment you could be holding ones hand and the next one they could be starting a fire in the middle of the night of all things!
That was a very brief pyromaniac phase she went through...
Watching the kid closely, she was a bit surprised as the kid broke off a small piece of the food and tried to hand it to her, a wide and excited smile on her face. "What?" She stared at the girl for a few seconds, the concept of what she was doing completely new to her. "What do you want?" Regret started to build up again as the happy face on the kid's expression slowly changed to a small whimpering frown. Seeing her options limited, Catra gave another silent sigh as she took the small piece of food offered to her.
She examined the bizarre thing as if it was poisonous, looking back to the other kid as she happily ate her piece of the food. Shrugging to herself, Catra gave a silent gulp as she squeezed the gushy thing one more time before eating it. "Well, bottoms up..."
"...!" Catra's eyes widened as she tasted the strange food. What the heck was this thing? It had the strangest texture yet the best taste to anything she's ever tasted! It was like a jelly filled pastry but with a fruity skin to it instead of bread, and a soft texture that made it easy to eat! "D'ish ish..." She paused momentarily as she swallowed her mouthful. "Good!" To her embarrassment, the little girl was looking up at her with excitement in her eyes. "I-I mean you know for some...Par-tees kind of thing..." If this kid was an evil mastermind then she knew perfectly well Catra was trying to play it cool because the moment she said that the kid's face brightened up.
What happened next was beyond her control, unless she tried in the least bit to resist, because the next thing she knew the little girl was pulling her with both her hands as she dragged Catra towards the festival. "H-Hey wait where are you going?"
Well, it was just a little girl. Knowing her she was just going to take a few minutes, right?
...
...
Oh how wrong she ended up being.
Three hours.
Three long and grueling hours.
That's how long the girl dragged her around for. And in all honesty... it wasn't completely abysmal! Sure, it's not a process that she would ever want to repeat in a million years, but throughout it all, she could say it was... peaceful, compared to the last eight hours of her day.
The first thing she got dragged over to was a banquet table where she found several of the adults dancing on the table while those seated around them watched and ate in peace. The little girl seemed to be having a heck of a fun time finding as many different foods as she could find and bringing them back to the "new best friend" she met several minutes ago. Not wanting to upset the kid or cause her to cry in front of all these people, she found herself forced to take bite after bite of the various foods, and to her shock, not one of these foods were disgusting to her! Sure, some foods tasted better to her than others, but still.
There was one moment where she found herself waiting awhile for the girl to come back and bring more food for her when another couple tried sitting at the spot reserved for the four-year-old, forcing Catra to calmly and patiently explain to them how that seat was reserved for another person.
At least what she considered calm and patient the couple who ran screaming considered it hissing and threatening to claw their eyes out with her literal bare claws.
The next thing the girl excitedly dragged her over to was a rather strange event. She couldn't exactly tell what it was but for some reason the children surrounding it seemed intent on bashing the brains out of the stuffed paper mache toy. Watching for another minute, she grew surprised to see what appeared to be some form of candy bursting from the broken toy, just enough for the kid hitting the toy to get a few pieces of candy.
Feeling the girl tug on her again, she looked down to see the little girl giving her the bashing stick, looking at her expectantly as she pointed to the toy for her to break, and finally pulling her over to it. Honestly, it did feel a little weird, and embarrassing of course, to be standing in the middle of a crowd of children who were watching her questionable expression with smiles on her faces. Not wanting to get the kid into another crying fit though, she took a deep breath as she pushed her embarrassment down, taking a quick battle stance as she focused on the toy.
She needed to do this perfectly, without hesitation, and in one shot. She observed the paper contraption from head to toe, trying to pinpoint where the best spot to strike would be for the biggest impact and best results. Then she just needed to focus, trying to imagine the paper mache toy as someone she should hate, someone she would be all to eager to smack with all her might...
It only took two seconds for her to visualize Shadow Weaver's covered face over the toy before obliterating it in one strike. As opposed to the many distraught and depressed faces she expected to see upon the children's' faces, she instead found herself surrounded by the cheers of the numerous children as they all gathered the numerous pieces of candy, including the little girl herself who started this whole tour with Catra.
Catra was too proud of herself, evident by the cheeky grin on her face, to be bothered by the splattered remains of the toy that covered her face and hair.
The last stop on their numerous adventures was probably the most boring of the several dozen places they visited and took all of Catra's willpower to stay awake, and even more to keep herself from walking away from it. It appeared to be a simple story area where an elder was telling a story to the kids in in front of him, all watching intently and with excitement as he delved into his story, making numerous different hand signs of animals and other creatures in the world as he did.
The biggest (and only) thing keeping her here was the four-year-old girl, and in a more literal sense in this case. Unlike the previous times where she was out on the sidelines, this time Catra found the little girl in her own lap, forcing herself to sit cross-legged as the kid watched with awe at the storyteller's show. All Catra could do was force herself to sit right up, resting her hand on her chin as she propped her arm up against herself with the most bored expression she's had on her face since this misadventure began.
Surprisingly to her, however, the look of boredom on her face didn't last indefinitely. While watching the storyteller with half-opened eyelids, her ears perked up as the storyteller took a strange looking bag out of his pockets, sprinkling around the glittering dust around himself and creating a rain of sparkles for everyone watching to see. Then, all at once, the storyteller threw the entire bag in front of himself, creating a short flashbang in front of the children and everything everything from his chest down.
When the dust dissipated, the crowd was left in oohs and awes as nearly a dozen white birds flew from the ground, ascending to the sky as the children all clapped in applause as the man bowed. While she failed to get as invested in it herself, even Catra found herself smiling from the small performance she just witnessed. A part of her almost regretted not listening to whatever story the man was telling just now.
Emphasis on almost.
By the end of this long endeavor, Catra found herself walking alongside the small kid again, the both of them holding their own serving of cotton candy. If someone ever accused Catra of trying to have fun with somebody else before today she would've happily left them with a few scars to remind them of their mistakes. But after the day she's had, and everything she's gone through in the last several hours, she could admit at least one thing.
It was... a little fun!
"Ok, so what do you wanna do next, squirt?" Catra asked, trying to hide her eagerness.
"Kimberly!" A female voice suddenly called out catching their attention. Looking ahead Catra saw another one of the Satyrs, a female one, quickly rush up to them in a panic, hastily scooping up the four year old in her arms and hugging her for dear life. "Oh thank the queen you're alright! I was worried sick!"
"Huh, so you must be her mom, right?" Catra greeted with a hand. "Hey, my name's-"
"What were you thinking!" The mother snapped angrily.
"E-Excuse me?"
"Do you just go around taking children away from their families without their permission?!" She shouted as she set her daughter down by her legs. "I've been looking all over for her for the last two hours now when the other kids found her missing!" That would explain to Catra how the little girl stumbled upon her on her own. "You're lucky I didn't call the guards on you young lady! Where are your parents anyway?"
"Ok first off, she bumped into me and dragged me around, I didn't kidnap her or anything." Catra grumbled as she squeezed the stem of her cotton candy. "Secondly, I don't have any parents, so back off!"
"Typical, another delinquent in the midst of a festival. If that was the case why didn't you bother to just look around for her parents since the moment you found her?"
"Because I-!" Catra suddenly paused as she thought to herself. Why didn't she just go around and find her parents? She didn't want anything to do with the kid yet she ended up getting side tracked for several hours because the kid was so insistent on bringing her around. "I don't know..."
"Well hopefully next time you'll think for a few seconds before acting on instinct, young lady! Come sweetie, we're going home." The mother stated as she lifted her daughter and carried her away. The last thing Catra saw of the young girl's face was her looking over her mother's shoulder, frowning slightly as she gave a small wave goodbye, before they both disappeared into the crowd.
This.
This is what Catra hated about people. There were too many different types of people in the world. Strong, weak, brave, scared, smart, stupid, fun, boring, the list was never ending. In every day of her life she's only ever met the worst kinds of people, people who were either quick to judge or quick to act, who were always against her. They wanted nothing to do with her, nothing to say to her, and had no interest in being around her. This is what she always had to deal with, and these people were no exceptions.
The little girl was a brief exception to this list. Just for a moment, the girl seemed to be the only other person in the world she knew that actually liked Catra for no reason. She liked hanging around her, she liked playing with her, and she liked showing her all the cool and interesting things around the festival. It almost made Catra feel like she herself was wanted for a change, for possibly the first time in her very life!
Sadly, that had to come to a close when she met the strictest and painful of mothers apparently. If Kimberly was everything right with the world, then her mother was everything wrong with the world. She was quick to jump to conclusions and not even take a moment to try and understand someone different from themselves, not once taking a moment to themselves in trying to understand the "why" to everything to themselves.
They were just people who didn't bother to take the time to spend a second or two to understand something. Lazy people at it's finest. The absolute worst kinds of people that Catra loathed. This is what made up everyone around her.
"It was a stupid party anyway..." She hissed to herself, throwing the cotton candy to the ground before walking back into the forest.
Unaware of a certain princess having witnessed the whole event.
...
"Catra?" Glimmer called out as she looked around the edge of the town. "Catra? I know you can hear me, I just want to-" She froze as she discovered the state of the tree before her.
It was scratched up.
Badly.
There were numerous dozens scars from scratch marks located all over the tree from top to bottom, stretching up half the tree to at least ten feet. It wasn't just around the side Glimmer was facing, there were scratch marks across the entirety of the tree on all sides. Wherever there was an amount of open space, there were scratch marks, and wherever there weren't scratch marks, there were large chunks of tree bark missing.
Either Catra had been here or termites had gotten very specific with their eating habits.
"Catra?" Glimmer called again. "Where are you-"
"I'm up here." Glimmer looked up as she spotted the feline halfway up the tree, knees curled up to her chest with her tail wrapped around her feet with her back turned to Glimmer. She appeared to be wearing her old outfit again, helmet included, with her previous outfit torn to shreds and laid right next to her. "What do you want, Pinky?"
"Catra, I just want to talk. I saw what happened back in town. I just wanted to know if you wanted to talk about it-"
"I'm fine!" She hissed. Glimmer tried to find a branch or way she could climb up to Catra's level to no avail. Apparently Catra made sure there was no means for anyone else other than her to reach her. "Just leave me alone. Where's that Bowey guy anyway? Shouldn't you be bothering him?"
"He's playing with the children setting up another pinata. You know, the thing you broke apart in one swing?" Her reminder was the first line to get a physical response out of Catra as she turned her head back.
"If you were watching the whole time then why didn't you say anything?"
"Because you looked like you were having fun, and you were playing with the kids so we didn't want to bother you."
"Yeah well thanks for that heads up, I'm glad you had my back when Kim's mother went insane on me."
"Look, I'm sorry I didn't step in, I didn't know what was going on at first. But you shouldn't let her influence what you think of people, they're really not all that bad-"
"You think I CARE what you stupid people think of me?" Catra growled as she leapt back to the ground. Glimmer started growing a little nervous as she backed away from the approaching Horde soldier, the same one stretching the claws out of her right hand. "Well let me tell you something princess; I DON'T care what people think of me, got it?" She nearly made Glimmer flinch as she swiped any and all plants that came near her claws. "I don't care what you stupid people think of me, I don't care about how your stupid people feel about me, and I definitely don't care about how your stupid people see me!"
The princess panicked a little as she realized she backed up into a tree, only thankful Catra finally stopped moving forward at this. "Because when I join your little Rebellion thing," she continued, "your mom is going to make it worth my while. Got it?"
"W-Worth your while?" Glimmer repeated. "I promise you if you help us win this war, money isn't going to be an issu-"
"Pffft, keep your stupid money, I want something bigger!" She stated, leaving Glimmer a little confused.
"Bigger than money? What could you possibly want?"
At this, Catra gave another sly grin as she placed her claws at her hips.
"Simple Pinky: I want a Kingdom!"
...

A/N: So now we see Catra's motives behind everything including what she wants! Personally given how she is in the show, I think this is the most likely thing she would ask for if she wanted anything ^^
Anyway thanks to the major fans I've gotten recently who left a review! The reviews really help and make the writing even more fun! So with that said, please leave a review on your thoughts of the latest chapter which I hoped you all enjoyed. As expected, this is most likely going to be a 3-parter now unless the next one takes like 8k words for only 4 minutes of scenery or something, otherwise next part should be the last ^^
Leave a like, fave, and review if you enjoyed! As always, 3 reviews for the next chapter, and if the last one was given great feedback, then I feel the next chapter should be here in no time!
