CHAPTER 24
Keldor woke up hours later with a headache, that spell was slightly familiar, a distant memory.
FLASHBACK.
Skeletor threw a bolt of lightning toward the son of the greatest enemy only to be hindered by a shield. Looking to the side, he saw the princess with one hand outstretched toward her brother, her palm glowing in the same golden tone as the force field.
End of flashback.
Keldor sat up and looked around, but the sudden movement made him regret it, the dizziness and headache from the return of the memories followed soon after.
As far as he could see, he was in a cell, but no cell holds Skeletor. He stood and extended his palm to the bars, just for nothing to happen.
'' What? '' He tried again and nothing happened. Keldor frowned and ... wait! Eyebrows? How did he frown if ...
He ran in front of a small mirror in the cell and sighed in alarm. ''Not!''
He had his face back. His identity as a villain was lost. As if that no longer stressed him enough, the memories of having to serve Caspian came to mind. Who did this idiot think it was to turn the great Skeletor into a crybaby who was afraid even of a small outbreak of the princess?
There he lost his temper for good and started throwing things against the walls and bars. If your powers could not destroy for him, then he will do it the old way.

Adora shook her head as the image of Keldor snapping disappeared and looked back at her old friend.
Thanks for your help, Light Hope. I don't know if we could get a place to leave it. ''
Não No need to say thanks, Adora. Not after all you did to save Etheria. Now go back to Brigthmoon, your friends and family are waiting for you. ''
''If anything...''
"I'll call you, just like Adam."
A portal appeared and the princess passed it after thanking her again.

That night, after everyone had rested and calmed down from recent events, Queen Angela invited them to dinner.
For a moment it seemed that they were still in rebellion and about to make their first attack. Nothing seemed to have changed.
"Oh my God, how big she is!" Glimmer took Alexandra in her arms and began to make funny faces, which made the girl laugh. '' You're bigger, right, beautiful? Oh. '' Princess Brigthmoon hugged her. '' How long has she? ''
"She's two months old." Adora responded and watched the scene with a smile. They had finished finishing dinner.
Hawk and Bow also watched the scene with smiles.
'' She's really beautiful. And great too, Dad. '' Bow made fun.
''Thanks. And don't even start kidding. In a little while Glimmer will want his own baby. '
Bow laughed. '' I think not yet. ''
"That's right Bow." Micha replied and the former rebel blushed. He forgot that his father-in-law was less than two meters from him.
Hawk and Randor laughed.
Marlena shook her head with a smile as Angela looked at her daughter and then at Adora. They had been friends since Adora became a rebel leader, and like all friends, they had their fights. Years ago, she hadn't thought about it, and now seeing that Adora became a mother and that Glimmer wouldn't take long to follow a similar path, made her think it was worth every sleepless night worrying about their safety. And probably Marlena thinks the same, since the story of the queen of Eternia with Adora was very similar to hers and Glimmer.
But they weren't the only queens to watch everyone, Leandra looked around. She had missed a lot ... Taking a deep breath, she calmed down, it was over. She was back and that's the only thing that mattered.

Adam and Teela lay down alone for the first time in months. Finally relaxing at least a little. They knew they would go out to fight soon, but they couldn't miss that moment of tranquility.
It's funny to think the roles are reversed. Adam spoke out of nowhere while playing with Teela's hair.
''What do you mean?''
'' Eternia at war, Etheria in peace. ''
''Understand. But from so many moments for you to think about it, it had to be now? "Teela stared at him and he grinned before kissing her.

Marlena was sitting on a balcony in the northern part of the palace, Randor had slept for a while, but she couldn't and decided to walk a little before finding that quiet place and sitting down.
A lot was going on and she had to be honest with herself, she didn't know a third of the plans her children had made.
'Can I join you?' A voice asked. Turning, the queen was surprised to see Leandra standing in the doorway with two cups.
"Sure." She moved to the side as Leandra sat down.
"Looks tired," Leandra commented as she handed the cup of tea.
Marlena thanked him and sighed. Apenas Just thinking about how it looks like we're going around. '
''How?''
''Do you know. A little calm period, then something happens and the fights and battles come back, another calm moment and the final fight comes, we win them all and yet it happens again. I'm tired of this. We all are. ''
Leandra looked at the horizon. '' You have gone through a lot in recent years, is not it? ''
'' More than I care to admit. ''
After a while in silence, Leandra exclaimed.
''Thanks. For ... for taking care of everything in the last few years, I can't imagine how Randor, Miranda and Stefen must have been ... '
'' There's nothing to be thankful for. Just keep in mind that it won't happen again. ''
The former queen nodded, her thoughts going to her other two children. How did they get ...

It was not long before nightfall and everyone was sleeping, but Adora did not know why Alexandra did not sleep, to this day she never had trouble getting her daughter to sleep, even after trying for half an hour the girl was still awake. It was almost midnight and the girl refused to fall asleep.
'' Come on, my love. You need to sleep, and mommy too. '' She was walking around the room while she was rocking her daughter. He had tried everything, she wasn't hungry, and the diaper was clean, not colic or anything. Hawk watched them, lying on the bed, after what seemed like the thousandth round the room, he decided to get up and see if he could get her to sleep.
''I can?''
Adora looked at her husband and nodded. '' If you can make her sleep ... ''
He picked up the girl and started pacing the room while Adora sat on the small couch, her elbows on her knees and her hands under her chin.
'' I missed you. '' She spoke out of nowhere.
''I missed you too. Of the two actually. '' He stopped walking and sat next to her while still cradling his daughter.
After a while in silence, Alexandra began to close her eyes and it wasn't long before she slept.
"I think she missed you too." Adora lifted the cover a little to cover the right girl.
After a while in silence to make sure she slept, they both got up and Adora quickly arranged the crib for the girl. The crib was a gift from Queen Angela to the couple and luckily they had never brought it to Eternia. Before they arrived, the crib had been assembled.
Hawk put her daughter in the crib and Adora covered her.
''Good night dear.''
''Sleep well.''
With the lights off, they went to the bed and lay hugging each other.
'' Adora ... ''
''Yes?''
"The ship that helped you get away from James ... who was flying?"
'' A friend. Let's say she owed She-ra a favor. '' His wife answered and kissed him.
"As far as I know, She-ra doesn't charge favors ..." He looked her in the eyes with a playful look.
''Do you know her.''
He raised an eyebrow and she smiled.
