CHAPTER 16.
The bugles sounded as soon as the couple entered the throne room.
'' Welcome, Princess Adora. '' The kings greeted her.
'' Thank you, your majesties. '' Adora bowed to the kings of the planet.
'' Adora, I want to introduce you to my parents. King Falcon and Queen Eris. "Hawk introduced them.
"I hope you do not mind, but the court has arranged a party for both of you two and your marriage." Queen Eris exclaimed worriedly. "Unless you're too married for the party, Adora."
'' Thank you for your majesty's concern, but I'm not tired. ''
"Great!" Falcon exclaimed. '' Come, Hawk accompany the princess into the ball room. ''
Hawk held out his hand and she took it.
The bugles struck and the doors opened, showing a huge hall filled with guests.
Adora put a nice smile on her face, but only thought of one thing.
::: Hope She-ra is not needed tonight. :::
The princess was introduced to almost everyone in the hall, until she came to a group that immediately looked at the couple.
"These are some of my friends, I think you'll like them," he whispered.
'' Are they the ones who sail with you? '' Adora asked.
'' No, we have not gotten to those yet. '' He replied and returned the voice to the normal tone. 'Adora, I want to introduce you to: Madame Razz, Kowl, Bow, Princess Glimmer, Queen Angela, Queen Castaspela more known as Casta, Broom, Lady Perfume and Empress Frosta. Guys, this is Princess Adora. ''
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Adora smiled.
"Likewise." Frosta and Casta exclaimed.
"Hello," Kowl said lazily as he leaned against Bow.
"How's it going?" Bow and Glimmer asked.
'' Welcome, dear. '' Angela and Perfuma greeted.
"Ah, my dear, how lovely you are!" 'Madam exclaimed and immediately took Adora's right hand. "Welcome to our planet, my dear, and do not be alarmed. Everyone here is a little crazy, but you get used to it. ''
Broom nodded in affirmation.
"Now, do not scare her," Bow exclaimed.
''Scare me? I find it kind of difficult. ''
Glimmer laughed.
Bow smiled and looked at Hawk. '' Tomorrow we're going to take a tour of some realms, you should come. ''
"I think it's a great idea, and you?" He turned to Adora.
'' I believe so, it will be a way of getting to know Etheria. In which kingdom are we? "
''My kingdom. On Brightmoon. "Glimmer replied.
The rest of the party was strangely calm for Adora. It was too quiet, but nothing happened the rest of the night, no attack or anything and she allowed herself to have some fun for a change.

The next day arrived faster than Adora would like. The blonde turned to keep the sunlight out of her eyes.
"Your Highness! It's time to wake up. '' A lively young woman entered the room and drew the curtains.
Adora narrowed her eyes at the light coming in. Knowing that she would not be able to sleep more, she sat down and after yawning asked.
''What time is it?''
"Eight hours." The brown haired girl answered.
"Eight?" Adora exclaimed. She was used to waking seven.
'' You were tired after yesterday's celebration, but do not worry, I brought the coffee and there's still plenty of time left until you get to Brightmoon to meet your friends. '' The girl continued pacing the room , leaving and returning with a push cart with breakfast.
'' Wait a minute, who are you? '' Adora asked.
"I'm your new lady. My name is Lohni. Well, going on, I've been assigned to be by your side all the time. ''
:::How can I transform in She-ra with her following me all the time? :::Adora thought, but put a smile on her face and greeted her.
'' It's a pleasure to meet you Lohni, I think you already know who I am so I will not need to introduce myself. ''
"Exactly, Your Highness." She nodded.
'' But first of all. '' Adora interrupted her. '' Unless we're in front of the court or the kings, call me Adora. ''
'' But Your Highness ... ''
''Adora.''
"Okay, prin ... Adora." She smiled.

In Eternia.
Adam looked at the gardens and remembered how many times he, Teela and Adora had played together there. No matter what the prince did, he could not stop thinking about what his sister had said about the multiverse.

'' The Sorceress showed me other universes, alternative versions of ours. ''
''And?''
'' And in all of them, I go 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 could not imagine growing up without his sister at his side. Since they were little they were always together.
The prince shook his head and walked to the training ground. It was time to train with Teela.
