Chapter one
"It has been one year, eight months and eighteen days since the fall of the Horde, and the death of Hordak; well the supposed death of Hordak. With some planning and manipulating from both myself and Hordak, we were able to fool the princess and everyone into believing he was killed... " Entrapta said with a smile as she worked on one of her inventions all the while speaking into her recorder.
"...but as with all great plans and deceptions, there are a few hitches that may occur, but not all hitches..." Entrapta smiled at those last words rubbing her stomach, "...are so bad; after all, the data I can glean from this will greatly assist me in my understanding of Hordaks species before their alterations, as well...oh! " she is stopped mid sentence with a soft groan feeling the unborn baby kick," It seems that the heir to Dryl inherited their father's impatience " she chuckled at the thought as the door to her lab opened. Entrapta knew who it was without needing to look.
"I thought you said you were going to rest " Hordak said in a calm tone while in truth he was trying his best to refrain from picking her up and taking her back to bed. He knew it wouldn't stop her from going back into the lab considering her dedication to science, therefore he had to do the worrying about their unborn child for the both of them. He watches her look at him with a smile as she stood up dusting herself off.
"I know I should, but I almost forgot about the meeting the princesses are having at Bright Moon and I was thinking that this would be a great time to show off the old project we had worked on" Entrapta said gesturing to the newly made portal device, "If I can get it working, it could help with shipping goods and resources between the kingdoms, make traveling faster, and the best part," she smiled like a fiend, "it can make traveling to undiscovered locations that would have been difficult, if not impossible to reach with potentially First One tech and knowledge hidden away just begging to be discov...oh" she groaned feeling another kick.
Hordak walked over to her smiling but she could tell he was still worried, he cupped her cheek in his hand looking her in the eyes. Hordak had never been one to show emotions around his subordinates but with Entrapta it was different, "It seems that our child agrees with you needing to rest." Hordak said with a small smile placing his hand on her stomach feeling the next kick when it happens, "While I cannot stop you from going, I cannot ignore my growing concerns over what may occur while you attend this meeting. Do I need to remind you what could happen if they discover you're carrying my child?"
Entrapta thought for a moment before smiling and giving a small shrug in a joking manner, "as much as I do understand your concern, the baby is not due for approximately another twelve days giving me plenty of time to go to a simple meeting that only lasts for two maybe four hours, giving me two-hundred and eighty-eight hours or seventeen thousand, two-hundred and eighty minutes or even one point zero-three-seven e plus six seconds before..." Entrapta said with a wide grin making Hordak raise a brow to her, but before Entrapta can continue her round, metallic assistant Emily comes storming into the room, alarm blaring, waring Entrapta she has an hour before the meeting with the princesses begins. "Oh it looks like it's time to go," she lifts herself up with her hair giving Hordak a quick kiss before making her way over to Emily. "Wish me luck, I'll see you when I return!" Entrapta gets on top of emily before riding her out of the lab. Hordak watched her leave keeping his composer, but the hand he had rested on the table showed his claws digging into it. Entrapta smiled as she rode Emily to one of the great new inventions that have come about in the time since the fall of the Horde, the H.A.C, a new air transport that was created by both her and Hordak. Entrapta brushed her hand along it as she got into the passenger area of the transport; she loved the time that she and Hordak spent creating this symbol of Dryl progression and innovation, as the H.A.C. began to take off for Bright Moon Entrapta was able to enjoy the view from inside the transport the ever expanding land and sea,the kingdoms and the sky…and the stars and worlds she would not see.
