CHAPTER 19
'' So far so good. '' Adam spoke to himself.
"At this point Adora and Caspian must be leaving Eternos." Duncan exclaimed.
'' With Alexandra together. Poor thing, she's still a baby, but she's right in the middle of a war. '' Teela shook her head.
"Just something Adora and I wanted to avoid," Hawk commented.
'' With your history of wars and babies, I can understand why. 'Teela said.
"It won't be a war if it ends as soon as it starts." Adam replied to his brother-in-law.
'' Adam may be right. '' Duncan agreed.
'' He is, which means that we will have a single chance. Attack, defeat, take over and recover. In that order if possible. "Hawk exclaimed.
Before either of them could say anything, Lyna appeared in the middle of the room.
'' So, ready to reclaim our planet? ''
'' More than ready. '' Adam said.
"But what about the cameras?" Teela asked.
'' Offline. You know, there was a system crash due to the storm that started as soon as Caspian left Eternals. '' She smiled.
'' I never thought I would thank for one of his exploits, but thanks. If this really is our only chance, thank you. "Adam exclaimed.
With a flick of the hand, they all disappeared and reappeared in front of the palace, near an attack tank.
'' Get in there and make some noise. I'll be right back. "And with that she disappeared.
Lightning struck nearby, startling everyone. "I think I better obey." Duncan exclaimed to the group because of the thunder. Even with the noise everyone heard and got into the vehicle. They knew he was a magician because he was so much bigger inside than he appeared to be outside.
''How long will we have to stay here?'' Teela asked as soon as she sat down.
'' Until she gets back. '' His father replied. After several minutes, a small group entered the transport.
"Adora and Lyna have been busy ..." Hawk whispered to Adam, who nodded.
In this small group were Fisto, Lyna, Lohni, Dr. Gray, both guards who had been taking care of Fisto the day before and to everyone's surprise, Marlena and Randor.
'' Mom, Dad! ' "Adam stood up and hugged her.
'' Adam! '' '' It's so good to see you safe! ''
As soon as everyone settled in, Duncan started the transport. '' Next stop ... '' he began.
'Grayskull.' Everyone exclaimed.

Meanwhile on the road.
Adora leaned back in her seat a little tense. Anyone looking at her would think she would be tense from the storm when in fact she was worried about her family and friends on their way to Grayskull right now.
She didn't risk using her telepathy, not with James by her side, so she was trusting instincts and if they were correct, her brother was on his way to Grayskull.
Speaking of James, he noticed that she was tense and put an arm over her shoulders. For a moment she pretended he was Hawk and leaned her head against his shoulder.
'' We'll get there soon. Just a few more hours of travel. "He whispered and she did her best not to look bored. Luckily, another thunder crashed and the noise woke Alexandra.
James sighed and took his arm from Adora's shoulders as she stood and caught the girl crying.
'' Calm dear. Mom is here ... '' She shook her daughter and for a moment it worked, the crying stopped. Until another thunder falls and she begins to cry again.
James scowled. '' It will be a long journey ... ''
Adora hung her head to look at her daughter. ::: You can't imagine, James ... ::: Then he looked at the window, hoping that the storm would give her friends the advantage.
In the carriage that followed them, Susan sent a telepathic message through the link Leandra had created for them to communicate.
::: They're almost there, can you distract Shadrow Weaver? :::
Far beyond that road in Grayskull Castle, Leandra looked up when she heard Susan's voice.
::: I will do my best. ::: she replied.
