CHAPTER 5.
Days later.
'' Is that? '' Randor asked, pointing to a ship approaching.
'It's that.'' Bow replied. '' The solar sailor. The Sea Hawk Ship. ''
"Who's in charge of the ship now?" Marlena asked.
''Swen. When Sea Hawk was the captain, Swen was the first sailor. When Hawk went to Eternia he named his friend as captain. "Glimmer said.
They saw the ship dock at the harbor and saw Swen leave.
'' King Randor? Queen Marlena? How long! "He bowed. '' I heard they needed a ride. ''
"We need to see Falcon," Randor replied.
"Can you take us to him?" Marlena asked.
''But of course. But the journey is long, so we better leave soon. I'll ask the men to prepare the ship. "He returned to the ship as the kings watched.
"Do not worry your majesty, Stela will stay with us until you come back," Bow said.
"Thank you," Marlena replied, and looked back at the ship. His thoughts traveled to Eternia. On how their eldest children were. Were they okay? Were they together? She couldn't tell.

"You're well, Your Majesty. I think it may have been stress or fatigue. Did you say you've had headaches? "Dr. Gray asked.
"Yes, they started a few days ago. But I did not come here because of the headache. '' Adora looked him in the eye. '' I came because of the visions, or whatever they were. It seemed very real, as if it were a memory. ''
'' How long has this been going on? ''
'' From the day after Alexandra's birth. I, I do not know. Since I've woken up in the room I've been feeling strange. ''
'' You had a daughter a few weeks ago. Your hormones have not stabilized yet. "He tried to speak, but was interrupted.
'' No, that's not it. '' She got up and started pacing the room. "Every time I put that crown on my head I feel it is not mine, every time I sit on the throne I feel it was not for me to sit there, when I walk in the corridors I feel empty, as if something is missing. 'She shook her head. '' Am I going crazy? ''
After several silent moments, Gray shook his head. '' No, Majesty. You're not going crazy. ''
'' What? '' She looked at him again.
"You're not going crazy," he repeated. '' Look, I do not understand what's happening, but I know a lot of things are not right. Adora, you told me these visions look like memories and they are very real. What if they're trying to tell you something? "
''Something like...?''
''I do not know what. I just know the next time this happens, do not try to make it stop, just let the sight show you what she wants. "He led her to the door. '' When you do, tell me what you saw. Maybe I can help.''
'' Anyone else would have called me crazy. Why are you helping me? "Adora stopped before opening the door.
'' Because I can't remember several important details, one example is who hired me. I know it was the king, but I'm sure it was not James. I can not remember his coronation, and that's something very important that everyone should remember. "He whispered as he opened the door for her. "Few things seem right in this palace and you are one of them. I mean, I can trust you enough to have this conversation. "
'' Thank you. '' She spoke and he just nodded.
She left and after walking away from the room she realized that she was being watched by one of her husband's guards. "Hey," she shouted at him, but he ran. '' Hey come back here. '' Adora ran after him. He was far away when she saw something on the wall. She picked it up and threw it.
He was hit. As soon as he caught up with her, she took off his helmet and asked in confusion. ''Keldor?''
Why was her husband's man-at-arms spying on her?
'' Queen Adora. You have a great aim. "He sat with his hand on his leg, checking to see if he was injured, but he was not and he stood up.
She raised an eyebrow. ''What were you doing?''
He took a deep breath. '' James asked me to keep an eye on you. He said you were not well. ''
::: Watch me? ::: She thought. "I do not need you to keep an eye on me," she replied. "I know how to take care of myself." She shook her head. '' Look, go back to your normal duties. ''
'' But the king ... ''
Adora lost her temper.
'' You will not tell the king anything and return to your normal duties, if he asks, I'm fine. '' She approached him and looked him in the eye. '' I do not want to hear about you or any of the guards spying on me. Do we have a deal?''
'' Yes, ma'am. ''
He left and Adora was frightened by herself. She had never spoken to anyone in that tone, it seemed for a moment that Keldor was his enemy. The moment she thought about it she had to lean against the wall to keep herself upright. Another flashback.
Flashback.
"What are you doing here?" Adora turned to a man and reached down to pick up his gun as that man put a single finger on the gun and it was enough that she could not get it out of her holster.
'' I will not let ... '' She began, but he put his hand on her mouth.
"Please, listen to me for a moment." He took his hand from her mouth.
"What do you want?" She said menacingly.
The scene unfolded and Adora pulled the gun and pointed at he, using the same tone of voice she used just now. '' I know you're a rebel and a liar ... ''
The scene has changed.
'' Do you know who he is? '' A gray-haired man asked as they both stared at the man asleep in the hospital bed in front of them.
'' It's Skeletor. Keldor ... "She whispered.
End of flashback.
The queen opened her eyes and breathed heavily. "What's going on with me?" She asked herself in fear, but did not return to see Gray, for Keldor might be around.
