CHAPTER 9.

A day before the visit to Etheria.

He-man was helping Duncan finish the new training machine for the guard when Teela entered.

"He-man? Hello, I did not know you'd be here! "She hugged him.

"Hi Teela."

"And She-ra? Where is she? It's been a long time since I've seen her. ''

Duncan and He-man looked at each other. In fact, She-ra had not been around for days, since Adora refused to transform unless her brother really needed her, which did not happen.

He-man turned his attention to the captain of the guard. "She-ra was needed somewhere else. She's planning to go to Etheria with Adora when the princess is definitely living there. ''

-''Why?''

"Sorceress has informed us that she will be needed some time in the future."

"And you're trying to get used to working without your sister?"

"For someone who has always worked with her, He-man is doing well." Duncan exclaimed.

"That's what I have to agree with." There came a voice from the doorway.

Everyone looked and saw the Princess of Eternia leaning against the doorframe.

"Adora?" They all exclaimed. For the past few days no one has seen the princess except her parents.

"Do not look so surprised, I'm not so angry at this marriage anymore. I'm actually tempted to get used to the idea. "What surprised everyone was how she was dressed. Her hair, which was usually a little shorter than She-ra's, was now a little lower than her shoulders. And the dress, usually blue with black belt turned red with black belt and red boots that went to the knees.

"Adora, you're ... different." Teela said.

-''Different. A word I've heard so much these days. But I'm just different in appearance. It's still me. ''

"Are you okay, Adora?" He-Man asked.

'' Better than the last few days, I've had time to think about it. Thank you He-man. ''

"Well, since you're better, maybe we can get out and talk like we did a couple of years ago." Teela said and started pulling Adora by the arm.

"This is the best idea I hear in days." Adora smiled and walked with Teela a few feet away, but then suddenly stopped and looked at the hero. '' And He-man? ''

''Yes?''

'' It will not be necessary for you to go to Etheria with me. '' Without giving the hero a chance to respond, Adora and Teela came out talking.

"What just happened?" Duncan asked.

'' Adora is accepting the agreement between the kingdoms. ''

"That is, she is accepting the marriage." Duncan complimented.

He-man nodded and returned to help his mentor.
