CHAPTER 26.

At Grayskull Castle hours later.

James knocked down a door to get inside. He had been trying to get into that room all night, and only now by midmorning had he made it. This was one of the hardest rooms to enter, so he knew there must be some secret, but all he found was a giant statue of a man who looked like He-man.

But as he approached, he read on the inscription at the foot of the statue: King Grayskull.

James frowned. Had Grayskull been a person? Apparently yes. Someone even bigger, he was a king. This was interesting, especially since there was nothing about him in the historical records of Eternia or the royal family.

He looked around. Several artifacts scattered throughout the chamber in glass compartments and hung on the walls. Swords, sticks, bows and arrows, axes, but there was an empty space in the wall. From the way the hooks were, there had to be two crossed swords there, but it was empty. The swords of He-man and She-ra. He got it. He was in the weapons room.

As he walked around the room, he saw a book on a small table and approached. The cover was brown, untitled and thick, implying it was thousands of years old, and when he opened it, he realized it was a showcase explaining the weapons in the room. James turned the pages until he found an image of the swords of power and protection.

'Twin Power Swords.'

'' Only a legitimate heir of Grayskull and the royal family of Eternia can handle these weapons. The sword of power and protection are the main source of power of the universe and the largest destination than any of the descendants may have. ''

''Power: The name of the sword was given by Queen Veena - wife of King Grayskull - after the death of her husband after he saved Eternia. -According to the first, all powers were concentrated in the castle and his sword. ''

''Protection: The sword with the greatest transformation ability was made as a gift from Queen Veena to her only daughter, Princess Alyra, adding her powers and from her husband to the sword, the protection sword was first used to transform your keeper. Anyra was transformed into She-ra in times of crisis, but continued the royal lineage as her natural self.''

''The queen later handed the sword of power to her son, Prince Nick, and the legend of He-man and She-ra began. Years later came He-ro and several other heroes with smaller destinations / tasks.

These swords are used very rarely and at the right time, two champions, two brothers, will raise them to bring peace to the planet.''

James read it twice to make sure he was reading it. Only members of the royal family could handle Grayskull's weapons. He looked around at the guns. All weapons exalted power, even the empty place.

The swords No wonder he felt he knew those swords Adam and Adora fought every time they went to a fight.

:::Not. That can't be true. ::: He reread the notes.

"Only a legitimate heir to Grayskull and the royal family of Eternia can handle these weapons."

He closed the book angrily. He-man did not disappear because Adam had not disappeared. It was clear now. That meant that Adora - his Adora - was She-ra.

James set the book in place and stormed out of the chamber. If the twins are really He-man and She-ra, they will return to take over the planet and he needs to be prepared.

'' James? Find anything? '' Kale said.

'' Yes. '' With a wave of his hand, the three were in Eternos.

'Don't you want to share with the class?' Kale exclaimed, but the king just walked away and then disappeared.

Kale sighed. '' I'm starting to get annoyed with this. ''

"What do you mean by that?" Susan asked, startled.

"Nothing." He took her hand. '' Let's go back to the palace. ''

Keldor was once again trying to use his powers to get out, but nothing seemed to work.

'' Spare a little strength, little brother.'' Randor's voice rang through the cell.

Keldor can't help but force a laugh.

'' So you found out. ''

''Long time. But we didn't come here to talk about it. "Randor approached the cell with Adam and Leandra.

Keldor raised an eyebrow. '' Queen Leandra? I thought you were ... '

''Dead? I'm not, as you can see Keldor, I'm very much alive. '' She replied. His expression softened a little. '' Please, we need you. ''

Randor snorted. "I never thought I'd say that." He shook his head. '' You will need to help us. ''

'' And if I do not? ''

'' So you will stay here for the rest of your days and miss the chance to give Caspian a lesson. '' Adam answered. "We need all the power we can, and if it means beating Caspian, well, I think you're one of the people who wants it the most."

Keldor seemed to think. In fact, he did not want to stay there, and he also wanted to teach a good lesson to this charlatan who called himself the villain. He didn't like Randor, but if that was the option, he'd have to arrange an escape later when it was all settled. The serpent mountain master approached the trio. '' Well, you have my attention. When are we going back to Eternia and what are we going to do? ''

'' Calm down tempers a little, Keldor. It's not that simple. "Randor replied.

'' In fact it is. '' Leandra interrupted her son. '' We need to take the element of surprise. Which means we'll be back sooner than we think. '

Adam nodded and approached the cell. "Any joke and He-man didn't think twice about sending you to the same place that She-ra sent Hordak."

Keldor raised his eyebrows. '' The cowardly prince found the courage? It was about time, Randor. At least now both children are warriors. ''

Randor stepped forward, but Leandra took her hand.

:::Not. He will say anything to annoy you. Not listening to him. :::

::: It's easier said than done. A lot has happened in the last twenty years. :::

:::I can see it. When we get back you tell me the rest. :::

With a nod from the old queen, the cell opened and Keldor left slowly.

'' What about my powers? ''

'' At the right time you'll have them again. '' Leandra answered this time. '' Follow us. ''

Randor and Adam stood a little behind, close to Keldor with watchful eyes as the villain followed the queen mother.

A/N: I know, I know. I didn't update last week and I'm so sorry for that. To compensate for this, I will post chapter 27 tomorrow, November 23rd.
