Two days later in Castle Greyskul Adam walks into the Hall of Heman stopping at the crypt of King Grayskull.
"I have served for half my lifetime and never asked for anything in return" Adam said, "Now I am"
The spirt of King Grayskull appears asking "Speak!"
"I ask for one thing, keep my sister safe, I know Vena is more than capable" Adam states as King Grayskull said, "You cannot be in two places at once!"
"I will do as you ask" King Grayskull said, the chamber was filled with a loud roar as a large Battle Lion walks out of the shadows. If not for the mane Adam would have sword it was his own Battle-Cat!
"It is possible yours is descended from mine" King Grayskull said.
No sooner had the Elite Guardsmen step through the portal then Queen Marlena turned to her newest daughter and said, "Teela, can you and your mother meet me in the very center of the royal gardens in one hours-time!"
When Teela and Teela Na arrive in the gardens they see a woman dressed in long flowing gray robes, laying out a circle in white powder.
"Salt"
Then they hear the woman speak and the Queen's soft timbre say, "Please Join me in the circle"
Teela thinks, Mother did you know?
Teela Na thinks, No dearest… it would seem, she is a women-of- many secrets.
Moments later Marlena starts speaking in a language neither Teela nor Teela Na heard before they both could heard the confidence and determination in her voice overall. Teela and Teela Na add their own voices to the chant in rhythm with Marlena.
As the chant reaches its height the wilds pick up, and a radiantly beautiful woman with long flowing jet-black hair down to her ankles materializes.
"Marlena Glenn it has been quite a while since you called to me"
"Morrígu" Marlena said, "If you lived on a world where magic could grant your every desire, what would you do"
"Point taken" She said, as she eyed Teela and Teela Na, Morrígu turned back to Marlena asking, "Then why to you call to me now!
"I call to Badb on my daughter's behalf as she goes to war!" Marlena said.
"And you wish me to aid her!" Badb asked in a commanding tenner.
"I called to you because I want her to come home… Alive" Marlena countered
"So, shale it be!" Badb said as she vanished, all the white powder vanished with her.
Pulling down her hood Queen Marlena said, "please sit… and I will explain!"
"As The Sorceresses you feel the pull of magical forces here on Eternia, on my world this type of magic is an abstract!"
Teela Na understood the queen immediately saying, "You could have your fondest desire!"
"Precisely!" Marlena said softly, "I only act now because…"
"Because you have no other choice!" Teela said astonished.
Answering the unanswered question Marlena said, "Only the king knows, he found me one day mid ritual, so I had to explain."
In her mind Marlena heard Teela Na's voice, now that you have re-awaked this part of yourself some guidance would be advisable.
As Teela struggles to get the words out Marlena said, "Teela dear you are family call me Marlena!"
"Marlena" Teela said, "Those trees are not native to Eternia what type of tree?"
"Oak trees from earth, I consider them sacred!" Marlena said, "I am a Druid!... On my world Druids acted as priests, teachers, and judges not to mention diplomats."
"You are the only two I have invited into my grove" Marlena said, "Thank you for your offer Teela Na, in my order I am Warrior Cast!"
As they leave the grove Queen Marlena leads them down a secret but well-trodden path back to the castle proper.
"Have no fear Marlena, just as you kept my secret all those years, we shale keep yours!" Teela Na said.
"You said you were Warrior Cast" Teela said, speculatively, as Marlena said, I use florentine fighting style, a sword and a dagger!"
Teela stood their mouth agape at the admission as Queen Marlena said, "Me an Randy spar in the mornings usually before you got their!
"But if you want to join us!"
Later that day on Etheria, Queen Veena, Adora and Lynnette were discussing Strategy & Tactics when a loud roar filled the air looking up from the map Adora said, "Battlecat!"
Looking at her Queen Veena said, "That's not I Tigers roar, that's a Lion's roar!"
A man that looks like He Man walks into the clearing and Adora tries reaching out with her mind but gets no response. Instead the man looked at her curiously, as Queen Veena said, "Adora meet my husband King Grayskull"
In a booming voice King Grayskull said, "Your brother could not come, so he asked us to come in his stead.
King Miro stepped into the clearing saying, "You weren't throwing Hordak a party without me, were you?"
"Of course!" not Adora said softly.
Queen Veena walked over and embraced King Grayskull saying, "Adora, come meet your great grandfather."
One hour later King Miro sized everyone up then looked at the map saying, "I will coordinate here at basecamp!"
The Group nodded as King Miro continued saying, "I think the best way to go here is small groups"
"You mean Gorilla-Warfare!" Adora said looking at her grandfather stating, "I was talking with mother before I left, she said, she would organize as many groups of 5 or 6 people she could in a coordinated effort of harassment and intelligence gathering!"
King Grayskull pondered what Adora had said, before saying, "It would also cause confusion!"
There was a commotion outside the tent a portal opened, and a Platoon of Elite Royal Troopers stepped out, the Commander walked into Adora's tent saying, "Complements of the Prince and Princess!"
"Danial Ma'am" The Commander said, "We are part of a special unit."
'Specializing in What!" King Miro Asked
"Unconventional Warfare!" Danial said.
"Understood Danial!" Adora said as Danial said, "Given we are the smaller Army may I suggest double envelopment!"
20 minutes later having explained his thinking Danial turned to Queen Veena and Lynnette he asked, "Am I correct that between the of you, you could wipe out all electronic communication of our Enemy!"
Lynnette thought, A man after my own heart!
"What I am thinking is we use the elements to our advantage!... An Electro-magnetic storm would work"
"A third Telepath would be nice!"
Outside the tent there was a large commotion and Adora turned up a flap to go out into the main encampment at see a large Black wolf and what concerned Adora is she could communicate with any animal but somehow this wolf was blocking her.
"Don't Harm It" Queen Veena called as she walked up behind Adora saying, "That is no ordinary wolf!"
Slowly the wolf starts to stand on its hind legs, transforming into a radiantly beautiful woman with long flowing jet-black hair down to her ankles. She stood in a long flowing multi shaded blue dress.
"Be at peace child" The stranger said, "I am of your mother's people, she summoned me across space and time!"
Mother doesn't use magic! Adora thought.
Looking at Adora the stranger smiled and said, "As your mother told Adora, "As your mother told The Sorceresses you feel the pull of magical forces on Eternia, but on her world this type of magic is an abstract!"
"She does not use power for powers sake!"
In her mind, Adora heard, Your mother can use both sword and magic in simultaneously and in tandem while in combat.
Adora looks up at the stranger in shock as she said, "My name is Badb goddess of war"
Meanwhile back on Eternia Queen Marlena and Randor were in a heated debate, "Randy, I know what I promised, but you can't spare any more guardsmen and my group is ready to move out!"
