CHAPTER 8
Lyna was in the kitchen when the queen's trusted lady came in and called.
'' The queen wants to see you. ''
''What? Why? "Lyna asked, afraid that they'd found out about her talking to the prisoners.
''She did not say. She just said it was urgent. "They both left the kitchen and went to the queen's office. Lyna walked in alone, and the lady of confidence followed the corridor to do the rest of her chores.
"Did you send for me, Your Majesty?" Lyna asked.
''Yes. Please, sit down. "Adora sat down on the couch and pointed to the sofa in front of her for the other woman to sit down.
''Something happened?''
'' You remember the phrase you told me some time ago. ''
Lyna cringed inwardly. ''Yes I recall.''
"Remember what you asked me?" Adora asked calmly.
"If it meant anything to you," Lyna replied.
'' At the time, it did not mean, but now it did. '' Adora looked into her eyes. '' I remembered and I need you to remember too. Only you can help me now. ''
''Remember? Remember what? ''
'' From the reality we know. In Eternia I know you are called Evil-Lyn, a powerful witch who 'has lost her powers because of Casp ... of James.' 'Adora began to explain.
'' With all the respect majesty ... '' Lyna tried to argue, but Adora ignored her and kept talking.
'' From what I'm noticing the reality has been altered, which means that his powers have never been taken from you and that is good. ''
''Powers? With all due respect, but you're crazy! I am not a sorceress, my name is Lyna. And ... and I'm going back to my job now ... "She got up to leave and walked to the door when she was stopped by a kind of force field that surrounded the door. "What?" She whispered and turned to the queen with the palm of her hand shining in the same golden tone of the force field.
'' Just as I still have my powers, you still have yours. '' Adora exclaimed.
"That's impossible," Lyna whispered. Adora was not a sorceress. Unless ... Unless she's telling the truth.::: She thought :::No, it can't be. :::
"I know it's a lot to take in, but you have to believe me." Adora lifted the other hand that was already shining. '' You'll thank me in a little while. ''
'' How? '' She thought and then raised her hands as a burst of energy came towards her. To her surprise, she felt nothing and opened her eyes, seeing a purple force field had formed around her. Looking at her hands, she realized that this power came from her. Lyna bent down and suppressed a groan as a flashback came along with all her memories.
After a minute lowered, she stood up and looked at Adora.
"You're completely insane, Your Highness!" She exclaimed ironically at the word "highness."
"It's good to see you again, Evil-Lyn." Adora replied with a smile.
'' What if I were not with my powers? Did you consider that? "The witch rose.
'' You had your powers. '' It was the simple answer. '' Now that you remember everything, I need your help. ''
'' And why would I help her? ''
"You already helped me when I was captured by Caspian. And just like that time, you have no choice. "Adora crossed her arms over her chest. '' Or do you want to continue in this reality as a maid? ''
'' I prefer our reality. '' She approached. '' What do you need me to do? ''
"We can't raise suspicions. I need you to be my eyes and ears in this palace. I need speak to my brother. ''
'' Meaning, do you need me to pretend to be a servant? ''
'' Just for a while. Until we get an advantage over James, or until we know how it happened and how we can reverse it. "Adora looked into her eyes. "Can you do that, Lyna?" She emphasized the name.
"I can, your majesty." She replied a minute later with an exaggerated bow. After straightening, she spoke. "I never thought I would do it of my own free will."
'' And I never thought about having to ask for help from you, from all people. '' Adora responded in the same intensity.

"Adam and Adora are taking care of things the way they can. That's good, "Marlena exclaimed after the magic bussle went off.
"We need to get back," Randor exclaimed.
'' And what would you do? I do not think anyone recognized you. This James is smart, he would not let something go unnoticed. "Falcon warned them.
'' So what do we do? '' Marlena asked desperately.
''Nothing at the moment. You can't do anything right now. We have to see what will happen. ''
''No way. We're going back to Eternia. "Randor exclaimed.
'' But ... '' Falcon was interrupted.
"You said yourself that nobody would know us. Will be easy. '' Randor answers again.
'' And how are you going to enter the planet? You heard Angela. You can't open a portal there. "Falcon commented.
"And who told you to open a portal inside on planet?" Randor smiled. '' I married with an astronaut, my friend. '' The king looked at Marlena.
'' Get me a ship and give me a few days to learn her system, '' Marlena replied as she folded her arms. "And I can guide you to Eternia. A portal can't be opened on the planet, but if it is close enough to be able to fly there it will be great. ''
