CHAPTER 25

In the middle of the night, the sound of a ship landing on the airstrip woke Adora from her peaceful sleep. She and her husband got up and looked out the window.

"Looks like your friend has arrived." Hawk commented after yawning.

''I go there. You stay with Alexa. I'll be right back. "She kissed him and went to get dressed before leaving the room toward the main hall of the Lua Clara Palace.

When Adora arrived, the visitor was already waiting for her in the main hall.

'' Huntara! '' She greeted.

'' Adora. '' The silaxian warrior replied. '' Glad to see it's all in. ''

'' Thank you for earlier today. I don't know if we could have done it without you. ''

"I must admit I was surprised when She-ra told me to help you."

'' I asked her to do that. ''

'' It doesn't surprise me. She-ra never hesitates when it comes to friends. And she also said that we were supposed to talk to each other. '' Huntara started walking towards the gardens.

"In that case it was a little more than the friends that motivated her to do that." Adora whispered and followed her. '' But the reason I called you was to thank you. ''

'' I said I do not need thanks. I owed She-ra a favor and she took that favor. Nothing more.''

''Yes it is. We fought on the same side once and it's good to know that I can call you when She-ra can't show up. ''

'' Have we fought side by side? '' Huntara frowned and stared at Adora, out of nowhere remembering She-ra's face. She gasped.

The two stopped walking.

::: That's exactly what you are thinking. I am She-ra. ::: Adora sent her telepathically. :::This is a secret. But I was told you need to know. That's why I let you find out the truth. :::

Huntara closed her mouth after realizing it was open. ''OK. This I did not expect. ''

''I know.''

They walked again.

After a while in silence, Huntara asked.

'' And no one else knows? ''

'Few people of the rebellion. And my family.''

Huntara nodded and then looked at the stars.

'' I think now I understand why you call me. ''

''I couldn't turn in front of him. Not with her around. "Adora answered and Huntara knew she was talking about her daughter. Huntara had seen Adora get off the carriage early with a mobile seat and was shocked to see that a member of the rebellion had already built a family.

"It's hard to believe that the great She-ra has a daughter," she whispered.

Adora smiled a little and nodded slightly. '' She was the reason I called you. Because if it were under normal circumstances, I'd solve it myself. '

''I believe in you. Now I need to ask, why tell me that? I mean, we only fight side by side a few times, and we're not so friendly. Not as much as the rebellion girls here and you. ''

''Let's say I trust my intuition - And my grandmother-. You will be needed to reclaim my world. ''

"Does that mean we can kick and hit that asshole Caspian when it's all over?"

''Absolutely.''

'' Then I'll help you. I have a great urge to hit someone. '

Adora laughed.

In Eternia

'' The queen disappeared majesty. And the princess too. We think that ship captured them. "Kale exclaimed.

'' What about Keldor? '' Susan took the lead in asking it.

'' Gone too. ''

James shook his head and took a deep breath. '' Please leave everyone except Kale and Susan. ''

The counselors looked at each other but obeyed their king.

As they left, James got up and threw some documents that were on his desk on the floor.

"Do you think she found out?" Susan asked, swallowing hard.

'' Why else would he just had a fit of rage? '' Kale stared.

'' The question is how, exactly, she remembered? '' James glared at them angrily. '' I did not come here for all our plans are out the window. ''

'We still have Leandra.' Susan exclaimed. She knew Leandra was no longer in Grayskull, but she couldn't make that clear to them.

''No more. She and the Witch have been rescued. By He-man. '' James walked from side to side. Leandra defeated Shadow Weaver and stripped her of her powers, as well as giving back to every sorcerer all the powers we stole. The portals to the rest of the universe are closed and we can't open it ... '

"But how could He-man have helped?" Kale asked angrily.

'' I thought you had deleted him from history. ''

James paced the floor thinking. He had erased He-man from the story, but he erased no one but himself and She-ra. Then an old theory that swirled around Eternia in the back came to mind.

He stopped. Several people had wondered and wondered where He-man would be when he was not helping others, and many others supported the theory that he had a secret identity, but no one found out that they could never get into Grayskull.

But now Grayskull was his. He could find out if this is true or not. And if it is, he will know who the hero of Eternia really is.

Before Kale or Susan could ask what silence was all about, the three met at Grayskull.

''What? What are we doing here? 'Kale asked.

'' Finding the true identity of He-man. ''

The two warriors looked at each other.

"I thought this was just a theory .." Susan commented.

"I have reason to believe it's not." He walked down the corridor to one of the castle's most protected rooms. '' We are not leaving here until we find that person. ''

The next day Adora and Hawk went down to breakfast with Alexandra when they heard a very familiar voice.

''I do not believe...''

Adora turned and ran into Swen.

'' Swen! I do not believe! What are you doing here? "Adora exclaimed as Hawk hugged his old friend.

'' I came to help you. I heard about Eternia. Man, this looks like a rebellion meeting. This is a zone down there. ''

Adora flashed a nervous smile. ''As well?''

'' All the rebels are here. ''

''All?''

'' Well, I mean, the main. Besides the crew guys, this is the whole old group. They are waiting for you in the throne room. '

And Swen wasn't kidding, when they reached the main hall, several of the former rebels were there.

'What are you doing here? ยด Adora asked.

'We came to help.' Frosta replied.

'' Eternia helped us a lot when we were at war. It is our turn to give back. '' Casta added.

Adora just smiled and noticed her parents across the room, smiles on their faces. Beside them were Adam, Teela, Leandra, and Duncan.

Adam stepped forward and asked. ''So. What is our plan? '

All eyes turned to her.

The princess looked from side to side. '' Rebels. '' Some cheered when called rebels again. '' We have a little mess to do. ''

The group celebrated.

She looked back at Adam, who was with a beaming smile. ::: Let's get our planet back :::: He sent her telepathically and she nodded.
