CHAPTER 10.
''You are different. A different good, but different. "Teela exclaimed as they walked away from her father's workshop.
"Only in appearance, Teela." Adora replied.
''No. There's something else. ''
'' You're imagining things. ''
"Adora, I know you. Besides Illena, you're my best friend, we grew up together.''
::: In this version of the multiverse yes ... ::: The princess thought, but aloud answered. '' Okay, let's just say something made me change my mind about going to Etheria. ''
'' Alright, I'll not be pushing the subject because I know you will not talk, but what about the wedding? Which made you change your mind. ''
''I do not know...''
"Who are you and what have you done to my friend?" Teela said playfully. '' Adora, you do not change your mind from one moment to the next. ''
'' It was not one moment at all, in fact, I spent the last days thinking about it. '' Adora interrupted.
'' Whatever, but you still have not answered me. ''
'' Okay, I may be starting to like him. I mean by the acts of courage and trying to protect myself. And let's agree, he's at least handsome. ''
'' That I have to agree with. At least your father did not push you to Prince Logan of the southern islands. "They both looked at each other and laughed.
"Thanks to the ancients!" Adora exclaimed, still laughing.

Hours later Adam met Adora in the gardens. She was with Cringer. Deciding to get his sister's attention, Adam shouted her name.
Adora looked up at him and smiled as he approached.
Adam hugged his sister tightly. '' You have no idea how much I wanted to hold you this morning. ''
'' I have, but as Teela was together ... ''
'' I just did not understand one thing. Why cut the hair. "Adam picked up a few strands of her hair and looked.
"Well, since I'm going to a place where no one knows me, and She-ra may be needed at any moment, I think it would be better to try to look a little less like her."
'' To hide the secret. ''
Adora nodded.
'' Sis, did you talk to the Sorceress? ''
'' Yes, and the fact that She-ra will be more needed there than here is what made me agree to this marriage. ''
"Are not you mad at Daddy anymore?"
'' It's two times, stay and not stay. Now I can understand why they had to do it. ''
"Why do they have to do this?" Adam asked.
Adora looked everywhere and then nodded to them to start walking. After a while, Adora began to speak.
"The Sorceress showed me other universes, alternative versions of ours."
''And?''
"And in all of them, I end up going to Etheria."
Adam was surprised and was silent as his sister continued.
"And in several of these parallel universes, I was kidnapped when I was a baby, which makes me think that I am one of the few lucky ones who could grow up at home.
Adam's eyes widened. ''You mean that...''
''Yes.''
'' Adora ... '' He hugged his sister, grateful that she was not one of the versions that were captured.
"After knowing that, the idea of this marriage was not so bad."
'' Why did not you tell me anything? ''
'' I'm talking now. '' She looked closely at her brother and then changed the subject. '' Adam, you know you do not have to go to Etheria with me. I know how to take care of myself. ''
'' I know that, but I'm going anyway. ''
'' And did Teela agree to that? ''
'' She does not have to agree. ''
Adora raised an eyebrow. ''No?''
''No.''
'' Prince Adam, Princess Adora, come here! Dinner is ready. "One of the guards shouted from the garden entrance.
"Let's go before Daddy fights with you for being late again." Adora said, and before her brother could respond, she ran off into the castle.
Realizing the joke, Adam smiled and ran after her with Cringer.
