CHAPTER 4.

A/N: TeelanaFalcao and TheSorceressQueen: Yes, the one who snapped his fingers was Caspian.

Unbeknownst to her husband and family, Princess Adora took a hood and went to the prisons with the intention of seeing and talking to a particular woman. For the last five months her family had managed to keep her from talking to Susan, but she felt they needed to talk.

Today his parents were at a state meeting, Hawk was standing by the masters and the guard talking a little about training the horde (which Adora had explained last night and asked him to speak for her.), His brother and Teela were watching the preparations for the wedding, and there was nothing to stop her from talking to this woman.

"Your highness?" The guard exclaimed and stood up immediately.

'' Hello Jay, could you open the door to Susan's prision cell? ''

'' The masked warrior? Your Highness, it is dangerous and if something happens with you, your father ... ''

'' I know what he's going to do. Do not worry, anything, tell he you acted under my orders. Now please open the door. "Adora put the hood on and went inside as soon as he opened the door and heard the door close behind her.

'' Someone from royalty came to visit me? '' Susan looked as he entered and concluded that she was royalty by the blue and white dress the other woman wore. The dress was long, her skirt was blue, and her bodice was white with sleeves that went to her elbow and had a gold belt around her waist, with gold bracelets on both arms, concealing a smaller bracelet that Adora had won from the crown of wisdom.

Adora hated to wear a long dress, but today she decided to use one to get out of the rut and to tell you the truth, she was beginning to get used to this dress, although she still preferred her old uniform, which "mysteriously" disappeared from her wardrobe after she returned from her honeymoon.

'' I know you probably will not cooperate, but I need to try. What do you want with Adora? What is so important that you are attacking our kingdom without rest? ''

'' The answer is simple for that. We want Eternia completely. How much Adora, well ... she's part of the plan. ''

'' What do not you want to tell? '' Adora began to stress.

Susan laughed. '' Who are you to talk to me like that? ''

'' Someone who knows you are not like that. That you're better than that. ''

'' And how do you know about it?''

Adora realized she was on the defensive. She felt the irony of the situation, if she had not trained Susan, she would not know about these manias. Resolving to end the mystery, the princess just took the hood off her head.

Susan's mouth opened and she was in shock. '' Adora? '' She whispered.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle the alarms began to ring.

"We're being attacked on the east side, I want the guard there now!" Duncan shouted.

"Duncan, where is Adora?" He-man asked.

"She must be with Hawk. We do not have time for this, come on. ''

Arriving at the battle site, there was already the guard, Hawk and the masters fighting the masked and ex-followers of Skeletor. Sensing that Adora was not with Hawk, He-man wondered where his sister was, and Duncan only frowned.

On the other side of the palace.

'' Adora, you're ... different. More different than I imagined. Or better, Captain Adora. "Susan smiled at that last sentence.

Adora just shook her head. "I'm no longer a captain and I wish you did not remember me at the time."

Susan's smile disappeared and she drew back. ''What? But you were the best! Why would you want to forget about your days as a captain. ''

"First, the horde was never what I thought it was, they enslaved, they hurt, they took prisoners and I never wanted that. Second, they kept me under a spell so I would not see that truth. ''

"No." Susan shook her head, but Adora continued as if the other woman had never spoken.

'' Third, I helped defeat the horde and I know both sides of this story and I want you to know that just like before, I will not back down until I save my people. ''

''What happened to you?''

'' I found out who I am and the truth. Is that you? What happened?''

Susan just shook her head and looked at her again. '' As Caspian explained to us. You are different from what we remembered. ''

'' So are you all. '' Adora exclaimed. At least one of your questions would be answered today.

'' Yes, all your old troop. But do not worry about it, you'll see things clearly after we get what we want. ''

'' Whatever you want, I do not want to be a part of it. ''

'' You're not thinking clearly. ''

'' Believe me, I've never been so determined about anything in my life. Jay, open the door. "She turned to leave. '' This is not over. '' She walked a little longer and realized the doors did not open. '' Jay? '' She shouted and a while later the door opened. Having a bad feeling about it, she ran out and found the young guard unconscious.

'' Jay! '' She shouted and ran over to him as a masked stepped in front, looking back she saw Susan encircling her.

Susan smiled at her. '' You trained us very well. ''

Adora winced and looked down at her arm. Finding a injection, she took it out and passed out.
