Chapter IX: Rock Bottom
Back at Teela's house, they all had something to eat and drink, except Adora. The events took a heavy toll on her. The power of Grayskull that made them He-Man and She-Ra had strengthened their psychic bond they have as twins. Now with the loss of Adam, Adora felt like she hit rock bottom. "Oh Adam, Oh Adam" she cried as she laid in bed sobbing. Duncan looked up at her mommy and ask in as brave a voice as possible "Why is Aunt Adora so sad?" Teela sighed as she tried to figure out how to answer his question. She knelt down beside him and said in loving voice, "You see Duncan, your father and Aunt Adora are twins, and twins have special bond with one another, it's a feeling of complete of happiness." Duncan nodded at his mother Teela continued her explanation, "That bond they have was strengthened by the magic of Castle Grayskull, the same power that made them He-Man and She-Ra also made them inseparable. Now today when daddy was frozen and sent into space, that bond between them was broken, and just as the magic of Grayskull enhanced that bond, it also made it feel a hundred times worse when it was severed. Right now, your aunt feels like there's no one in the world who loves for her." Duncan looked puzzled and said, "Why aren't you sad mommy?" Teela looked into his eyes and said, "I am sad, but I felt it was best for you if you didn't see me cry. I may not look like it but deep down inside, I am crying." Duncan tried to smile and said with a cracking voice, "Is it all if I go to see Aunt Adora" Teela smiled and said "I think that's a wonderful Idea" Duncan then immediately went from the kitchen, but went the wrong way "Teela called for him "Duncan your aunts this way" she said, but Duncan did not here her. A few moments later Duncan come out of his room with a home made envelope and walked towards the door of the Room where Adora lay crying. "Aunt Adora, it's me, Duncan, can I come in" the young boy asked. Adora nodded and he went in putting on his bravest face and said "how are felling aunt Adora?" She stopped crying the best she could and said "not so well I'm afraid," she signaled for the boy to sit on a chair next to her Duncan smiled at her and handed her his envelope "why thank you," she said as she opened it. Inside was a card with a picture of the two of them on the outside and a beautiful note on the inside:
I know that you feel that no one cares for you, so I made this card to show
you that I do.
I wish you lots of joy and happiness.
Love,
Duncan The note warmed her heart, she sat up in bed went over to the chair and gave Duncan a kiss and hug. A look of total disgust came over his face, the sight of which made Adora laugh. Teela walked into the room and said, "is everything all right?" Adora laughed again and "everything's fine Teela, Duncan cheered me up" She said as she walked out to greet Teela. "Where's Father O'Reilly?" Adora asked "he went back to his church he has services there the next morning" she said. She ran up Adora and hugged her and asked "how are you feeling?" still a little shaken but nothing too worse for ware" she replied "That's good, but how about instead of going back to your apartment how about you stay here with us, it'll make you feel better" Teela said Adora smiled and said "Thank you, I'd like to very much, but I don't have anything to wear?" she said "That's okay, you can use some of my clothes." Adora smiled and thanked Teela and went to sit down Teela looked up at the clock and said "I didn't realize how late it was we better be getting all to bed" and she scooted Adora and Duncan upstairs to bed with her following behind them.
