CHAPTER 21.
'' Eris, Adora! Thanks to the stars you're all right! "Falcon exclaimed and approached to embrace his wife as Hawk and Adora approached.
"I'm glad you're okay." Hawk gave Adora a hug and, incredible as it may seem, she returned the hug.
'' I'll say the same about you. She-ra said the battle was long and you've been to the front line several times. '' After a pause she added teasingly to ease the mood. '' And if you do not mind, I'd like to have my fiancé present at the wedding! ''
Seahawk laughed, then met her eyes. '' She-ra came to talk to you? ''
"'Came." His mother's voice made the two turn to see Queen Eris. '' Soon after the battle. She told Adora to keep an eye on you, because you can not get into trouble. "Without Hawk realizing she was looking at Adora with a look of pride that Adora returned with a small smile.
"Well, it's nice to know we have her support for such cases," Falcon commented.
"I agree," Hawk said and placed a hand on the lower back of Adora. '' I'll see the damage of the battle, Adora, I think you'd better ... ''
"I'll go with you," she exclaimed before he finished the sentence.
'' Go? '' He looked surprised.
''Yes. I may be a princess, but I know a lot about fighting and what to do after a fight. Let's go?''
Hawk led her out of the room toward the gardens, which happened most of the battle.
''She is brave. Most princesses prefer not to step on the battlefield. "Falcon looked at the couple.
"Yes, she's brave," Eris agreed.

Adora watched the wrecked remains of tanks and robots trying to force into the palace and wondered what would have happened if she had not been to Etheria to help.
'' We were lucky She-ra appeared, although I got the feeling this was not a full-force attack. '' Hawk commented.
Adora looked around once more as she answered. '' I think you're right. They have multiple armies. This was a reconnaissance attack. ''
Hawk raised an eyebrow. '' I did not know you knew so much about battles. ''
"We both met only a few weeks ago. There is much for us to know about each other. ''
''You are right. Yes, you do. But nothing prevents us from starting now. ''
'' Very well, then let's do it like this. I answer one question and you answer another. ''
''Now?''
''Yes.''
''OK. Do you start or do I start? ''
"I gave you the idea, so it's only fair that you start." She turned to him and waited for the question.
'' Well. You came into battle, does that mean you're a warrior? ''
''More or less. My father made me take fight classes my whole life so that I could defend myself. ''
'' That makes sense, good security measure. ''
Adora smiled. '' Well, my turn. For which places on the planet have you sailed? ''
''Almost all. And they all treat me like a captain. "He responded with enthusiasm, which soon turned into a serious face. '' Now a little more serious question. Would you risk being here even with the threat of the horde? ''
''Yes. Believe it or not, but I feel that I belong here and that I have to help protect it. ''

Meanwhile, in the hideout of the horde.
"Why do not we attack at once ?!" Catra exclaimed irritably.
'' Because we want the idiots to think that the alliance with Eternia will bring some advantage, '' Shadow Weaver replied.
"But it will not bring any advantage, will it?" Mantna asked.
'' Hordak and the horde have been keeping an eye on Eternia for a long time, and the marriage between the prince here and the princess from there will weaken Eternia. ''
'' And it will give us the chance to have both planets. '' Evil-lyn completed the plan.
