In the heart of The Evergreen Forest, sat upon a large stone outcropping Morrígan and then called out, "You may come out now!"

Without opening her eye's, she knew they were there, Children, War orphans in fact the youngest only 4.

Opening her eyes Morrígan pulled the little girl into her lap asking, "What's your name Little one!"

Feeling just a little bit shy the girl turned light crimson and whispered, "Ivette!"

Even though she knew the answer Morrígan asks, "Why do you here!"

"Got's no home no more, Mama and Papa gone!" As Morrígan examined Ivette she made note of the face she was mildly if not severely mal nourished.

As she examined all of them Morrígan noted that while Ivette was mal nourished, the oldest was practically a walking skeleton.

The forgotten ones, Morrígan thought, the unintended victims of war

Looking at the oldest Morrígan asks, "I take it you eat last!"

"Yes Miss!" he said, "And if there is nothing left, I go without!"

Ivette's eyes were drawn to Morrígan's wings in amazement, and her eyes went even wider when they moved to protect her from a bitter gust of wind

Plucking one of her own feathers Morrígan ties it in her hair

"First things first!" Morrígan said as a banquet feast appeared before them and she said, "Eat as much as you like… Just don't do it too quickly of you'll be sick"

The Oldest of the group cast a wary eye, on Morrígan as he asked, "What do you want in return for this!"

"I ask only one thing of you Robert, Morrígan said, "Live"

Reading the look on his face Morrígan said, "I know many things!"

"Eat we will talk later"

Robert sat by Morrígan with but one question on his mind, finding his voice he asks, "Why!"

"Why what?" Morrígan states

Inclining his head to everyone that's eating he asks, "Why!"

"Because… they are starving Robert!" Morrígan said dropping all pretenses, she said, "And I can help!"


One Hour Later

Morrígan walks to a grand old tree and places a hand on the trunk saying, "I know it's asking much, but they need shelter!"

A pair of eyes open and the tree itself begins to speak saying, "They have slept beneath my branches!"

Closing her eyes Morrígan's hand begins to glow and the eyes and mouth move up the trunk by 30 feet. The tree itself begins to hollow out and beds begin forming along the walls and in the center a large table big enough for everyone to sit at forms.

"Miss" Robert said looking at Morrígan "A-Are you a healer!"

"Yes!" Morrígan exclaimed only to have Robert respond, "W-Would you!" in a tight voice full of hesitation in fear

Robert led her to a secluded area where a raven-haired teen lay looking green around the gills.

Starting her examination Morrígan asked, "When was the last time you had your courses!"

"About a month maybe 2!" the girl said looking at Robert.

"Is he…"

The girl turned a shade crimson as she nodded her head.

"I take it you two have already pledged your hearts to one another!"

The look on Roberts face told her everything she needed to know

Prince Adam, Princess Teela Meet Me in The Heart Of The Evergreen Forest, And Teela You need to Attend as Sorceress of Grayskull and Crown Princess. Morrígan thought.

Moments Later Adam and Teela Sorceress of Grayskull walk into the clearing with Adam asking, "Why did you summon us!"

With a wink and a wave of her hand Morrígan took away the girl's morning sickness saying for this.

Robert come stand by your girl.

Taking their hands Morrígan binds them together saying, "Robert do you take Allyssa to be your wife!"

Temporarily stunned into silence Robert say, "Y-Yes!"

"Allyssa do you take Robert as your husband!", Placing her hand over Allyssa's abdomen Morrígan, said, "They will need a father!"

Robert suddenly swallowed nervously, and Teela gave Adam a look...

Stepping forward Teela said, "Go enjoy your bonding… you have my word as Sorceress of Grayskull this place and all the people here will have my protections!"

"In three days-time come to the royal palace ask for Teela, and we will make sure both your wife and children are in good health!"

"T-Thank You… Highness!" Robert said.

"Here I am not your Princess, I am not The Sorceress, I am one mother offering a helping hand to another!"

Looking at the Redhead Morrígan, said, "Well-spoken Teela, you will make a wonderful Queen one day!"


Three days later in the Royal Palace Robert and his new wife Allyssa sat in the Medical Center when Lynette walked by, asking, "Adam a word in private"

The two walked to the office of the head physician and Lynette sealed and soundproofed the room before asking, "Why is my daughter here!"

Taking a breath Lynette said, "18 summers ago just before I entered his service!"

"I take it, what took place was not consensual!"

"NO" Lynette said with a decidedly venomous undertone!

"I can tell you what I know!" Adam said sympathetically as he continued his tale.

"Three nights ago, my wife and I were summoned by Morrígan to the heart of The Evergreen Forest, to witness their bonding ritual!"

"And her Family" Lynette asks somberly.

"From what Morrígan told us everyone there was…" Adams word trailed off because he knew how deep this knife would cut.

The look on Lynette face said "Tell Me"

Taking a breath Adam said, "Everyone there was a war orphans Lyn the forgotten victims of the war between Skeletor and Grayskull"

"I See" Lynette said.

"Lyn at the moment they are guest of the Crown Princess/ Sorceress of Grayskull"

"If I may ask, where is your wife?" Lynette asks

"Tending the Herb Gardens with her mother!" Thank you Adam I know the way

Moments later in the secluded area known as The Herb Gardens Teela Na, Teela were doing some weeding when Lyn approached.

"Good your both here!" Lynette said "First Teela I want to thank you for caring for Allyssa!"

"She is… my daughter!"

Looking at the elder Sorceress of Grayskull Lynette, asks, "Teela Na how do I!"

Lynette just walks into Teela Na embrace and starts sobbing uncontrollably and in a willowy Aged voice Teela Na said, "I see!"

Teela knew from the look on her mother's face things were bad

Walking them to a nearby bench Teela Na held her and said, "Lyn there is no right way to tell your daughter you're her mother!"

"The man who!" Teela Na asks

"He still lives... Adam offered to track him down, but I need to think!"

"I would need to tell her first"

"When Teela was 8 months old I gave her over to Duncan!" Teela Na explained, "I vowed to tell her one day, but as the years passed that became harder!"

"My own fear!"

Teela picked up the story from their saying, "I woke up one morning and I just Knew!"


30 minutes later just as Allyssa was about to undergo her examination, Lynette entered the facility saying, "Wait?"

Looking at Lynette, Allyssa said, "W-Why do you look like me!"

"Shouldn't a mother and daughter look alike!" Lynette said, "Go be with your husband and have your examination I will be here when your done.
