CHAPTER 8.

Adora managed to mislead another of the guards, or rather Kale, one of the soldiers she helped train. But as soon as she got to where she expected the exit to end she found another wall.

"No one can say you did not try to leave." Susan's voice was heard and she appeared in the hallway where Adora was. '' Yeah, you do not give up. ''

'' This place is where? In the endless labyrinth? "Adora asked leaning against the wall.

'' Something of the sort, '' Susan replied. ''Are you better?''

'' Considering I'm not throwing up? Yes, I'm better.''

'' You know, I guess it was not just something you ate, '' Susan said and immediately a smile spread across her face.

'' You could be ... ''

'' Do not even finish that sentence. '' Adora interrupted her, pointing a finger to emphasize the speech.

''Because? Come on, Adora. We two know you've always wanted to start a family. ''

"Because if I were, I would be putting the child at risk because I struggled with you or even because I am here," she whispered.

"Would being here put the child at risk? I already told you Adora. We are not your enemies. ''

'' Tell this the villages you attacked. ''

"You're changing the subject and you know it." Susan leaned closer. '' And if you are? ''

'' If I am I'll ask you a favor. '' Adora answered a little louder. '' Once I trusted you and if you want me to come back to trust, just do what I ask. Do not tell anyone. ''

'' Alright, I will not. But try to know by your powers then, since I know you will not go to our doctor. ''

'' Wait, how you ... ''

'' I know you have powers? I found out, but I did not tell anyone about them. That's why only Evil-lyn has that handcuff on his wrist. ''

Adora nodded and left the hall, with Susan right behind. "It's no use trying to find an escape route, because that will not work."

'' It's like you said. No one can say that I have not tried. "She continued walking aimlessly.

What if she's right? And if I'm pregnant? "Adora started to wonder as she entered the room and closed the door.

After trying again to use her powers, she realized that she could not make them reveal where she was and also could not get out of there with her powers.

Shaking her head, she decided to get some sleep. It was late afternoon and raining, but there was not much she could do about anything. Leaving the supposition of being pregnant aside, she lay down and watched the raindrops on the window before falling asleep.

'' How long have they been in there? '' Teela asked anxiously. She and Adam had come in front of Orko and Dree Elle's room more than two hours ago.

"It's been two and a half hours. These things can take a long time. "Marlena replied.

"Did your father find out if there was anything in that message that He-man found on the mountain?" Adam asked.

'' He probably would have called us, do not worry Adam. '' Teela leaned into his embrace even more.

"Mom, where's Dad?" Adam asked.

'' Meeting with the masters. Still discussing how we're going to find Adora and bring her home. "Marlena replied and looked at the floor. It seemed that everything was repeating itself, the attack, the kidnapping, the desperation and the attempts to find his daughter. The queen sighed.

"Mom ..." Adam caught his attention and just kept talking when she looked at him. "We're going to find her. I promise.''

Marlena nodded, and at that very moment the bedroom door opened and the doctors left the room.

Everyone approached and waited for the news.

'' She and the baby are fine. The delivery happened without complications. ''

Everyone smiled at the news.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Cringer asked.

"I think we'd better let the new parents tell you," the other one replied. Both doctors said goodbye and left. A few minutes later Orko came out with a small package in his arms. Everyone sighed.

"Friends, this is Ellko. Our little boy. ''

'' Ah Orko, he's beautiful. '' Marlena and Teela exclaimed.

"Congratulations, my little friend." Adam greeted with a smile and almost fell as Cringer leaned against him to get a look at the Trollan baby.

'' But he's too small, '' the tiger said.

'' Actually he's the normal size of a Trollan baby, '' Orko replied proudly.

'' My ears are deceiving me. A miniature Orko running through the palace? "Duncan's voice was heard and in a short time he, Stela and the king appeared in the hallway. The three of them smiled as soon as they saw the little blue package.

"Why is his face covered?" Stela asked, looking at the magician.

"It's a custom and rule of our planet," Orko replied. '' Would you like to take it? ''

'' Yes! '' The girl brightened. Marlena led her to one of the sofas in the hallway. After she sat down, Orko stepped closer and placed the little one carefully in his arms. The baby shook and laughed when he looked at her. She laughed together.

"Where's Hawk?" Marlena asked.

'' I think it's in the bedroom. I'll go see. "Adam replied.

"Well, while you're going to see him, your mother and I need to talk to Duncan about something. Teela, do you mind staying with Stela for a while? "Randor asked.

'' Of course I do not mind. I'll see you later. "Teela sat down next to Stela and looked at the little boy as the three members of the royalty went out.

A/N: I really enjoyed writing this chapter, but what I had the most difficulty was choosing the name. I thought of putting the name of Orko's uncle as a tribute, but then I changed my mind because the name is too big for a baby, then I was between Ordree or Ellko, as you have seen, I chose Ellko and I hope you like it!
