CHAPTER 27.
'' Caspian has captured my daughter. '' Duncan spoke angrily.
'' The Sorceress has already started looking for her. '' Adora commented. "According to a guard, they plan to keep us busy." She shook her head. '' Which makes me wonder why they said the plan on the battlefield. It makes no sense!''
'' Nothing they make makes sense. '' Adam kept walking through his father's office.
'' Adam, you're acting like a caged tiger. Stop it, "Marlena said.
'' Teela now knows my secret, that's why she left and was eventually captured, Mom, I can't calm down. Not now. "He kept walking.
Taking a deep breath, the queen sat down next to her daughter, who abruptly sat up straighter.
''Adora? Are you okay?''
'' Yes, it's just ... '' She took a deep breath. "It's my powers. I've learned to control, but this always does. ''
''This? This what? "Marlena asked.
'' Visions. ''
'' Visions? About Teela? "Adam stopped walking and faced his sister.
Shaking her head, she replied. ''Not. In recent months, my visions have followed a chronological order. They are showing me the history of our family .. ''
''Chronological order. And what time is it showing? "Randor asked, participating in the conversation for the first time.
"The first time Grandpa disappeared. When you were a baby he went out to a battle and disappeared for a while. Months later they found him. ''
Randor nodded. '' I've heard stories about it. And these visions, is this happening frequently? ''
'' Yes. '' She stood up. '' I, I need to see a person. '' She walked into the middle of the room and put her hand on his brother's arm as a supportive act, then left.
::: Adam. ::: A quiet voice appeared in his head.
Closing his eyes, the prince of Eternia made contact with the Grayskull Sorceress. :::I'm listening. Did you find Teela?:::
::: Not yet, but I need you and Duncan to come to Grayskull. We need to talk about her.::: Her voice came out of her head and Adam looked at his mentor. ''The Sorceress wants to talk to us. Something about Teela. We need to go. ''
Duncan nodded, and both men left the room.

Adora walked aimlessly when she was dizzy from another vision that came.
"No, not now," she whispered and sat up to try to stop the vision, which did not work because the vision continued.

Ashley was in one of the village shops that was close to where she lived. It had been months since Max had disappeared, and to her and her best friend's surprise, she had become pregnant and her belly was already beginning to appear.
"He did not just abandon me, something happened." Ashley responded to Clarkson's comment.
"He did not even know his name. Ashley this is very strange and suddenly he disappears? ''
'' He had amnesia! Whatever happened, he ... "She was interrupted when an announcement was made on a monitor. At the time, they existed only in public places and in a few houses. But what shocked her and her friend was the person who appeared on the monitor.
Max, or how he introduced himself to the public. King Miro.
"Max?" She whispered with a frightened face.

The next scene that appeared on Adora's head was Ashley and Clarkson entering the palace. They had disguised themselves as servants to get in.
'' Are you sure you want to do this, Ash? ''
''Yes. I have to talk to him. I need it. "She exclaimed and was about to enter a small hall when she heard a conversation.
'' The meeting will start at five, Your Majesty. ''
'' Great, leave everything ready that I'll be there. Thank you Julius. "Ashley watched the older man curtsey and walk out another door.
"It's now or never," she whispered to herself and entered the room. "Majesty?" She called.
Miro turned and saw a woman approaching. Wondering if he had not seen her before. '' Yes? '' He replied. ''I know you?''
'' More or less, Max. ''
Miro raised an eyebrow and looked at her thoughtfully. Who was this woman and why did she call him Max? Before he could ask her, he began to remember.
The forest, the storm, she caring for him, they falling in love, the village, everything.
His face turned to shock and disbelief as he remembered everything. ''Ashley?''
After a while in silence, she nodded and looked around. '' So you're the king. ''
Miro just stood there, just looking into her eyes and she made a face of understanding. "I did not want to mess up what you were doing. I just wanted to see it with my own eyes and make sure you were not lying. And now I see no. No one in their right mind would pretend that is not king. ''
'' Ash, I ... '' He was interrupted when Leandra's voice was heard.
"Miro! Randor just took the first step and ... Oh, I did not know we had company." She approached.
Miro immediately introduced both, although he was a little nervous and stuttered sometimes.
'' Leandra, this is Ashley, the woman who helped me while I did not know who I was. Ashley, this is ... "He cleared his throat. ''This is my wife. Queen Leandra. "He swallowed.
Ashley's expression was empty, as if she had lost something precious, but still bowed to the queen. ''Nice to meet you, your majesty.''
''It's my pleasure. In fact, I did not know who had helped my husband and I owe you a lot for doing it. ''
Ashley gave a small smile and out of curiosity asked. '' Sorry for the question, but who is Randor? ''
Leandra smiled even more. "Our son." She turned to Miro and exclaimed again with joy. '' Ah Miro, I can not even believe he finally learned to walk. Come on! "She began to pull her husband by the arm.
'' Lea, we ... I ... '' He looked back at Ashley, who had a sad look in her eyes, but that did not stop her from speaking.
'' No need to worry, your majesties. I was just leaving. "She bowed and left the room while Miro and Leandra headed to the other side.
Clarkson stopped her as they left the palace.
'Are you and the baby alright?''
She looked up determinedly. '' Me and Keldor are fine. ''
Adora took a deep breath and opened her eyes. Keldor. She thought. ::: An illegitimate member of the royal family. My uncle. The rage of the family comes from no one but my uncle. Skeletor! "She shook her head and stood up, more than ever to find her grandfather.
The princess found him in the library reading an old diary. She did not need to see the cover to know it was a diary about the royal family.
"Grandpa?" She asked to get his attention.
'' Oh, Adora. '' He handed the book back to the bookshelf. '' I did not see you come in. Some problem?''
'' No, not really. I ... I came to talk about a person. ''
"Who would it be, my dear?" He turned to the bookcase to get back to the books.
''The grandmother. Caspian wanted me to find her. He had no doubt I could find her. ''
''This is weird. We tried to find her in every way, we used all the spells ... ''
'' According to him, no. I still had a spell missing and I'm the only one who could do it. Does this have anything to do with her powers? "
''Why the question?''
'' Because Evil-lyn was rescued with me and she is without magic. Skeletor disappeared, and according to the sorceress, two in twenty of the people captured in the villages have potential for magic or have magic, even if little. I think I know what Caspian wants. "After a short pause, she continued. '' He is taking the powers of various sorcerers and is uniting them. And he wants ours too. ''
'' Do you think Teela has the potential for magic? ''
''Perhaps.''
'' But if that's what he wants, then why did not he get your powers? ''
"I think he wanted me to find Leandra first so he could take the powers of both."
Miro just nodded thoughtfully and Adora spoke again.
"But there's someone else I want to talk with you. Skeletor. "She stared at him and tried to see his expression.
Adora's gaze made Miro look at the bookcase. He knew that look and knew she was suspicious of something. Leandra was like that, too.
'' Come on. I want to show you something. "He offered her arm, which she graciously accepted, and they left the room toward the palace prisons.
"What's this got to do with him?" Adora asked after a quiet time.
Miro stopped in front of the prison ward's door and looked at her. '' You have to promise me that you will not tell Randor or anyone about what you are going to see. ''
Now Adora was interested. ''I promise.''
Miro opened the door and closed it as they entered the room.
Adora stopped in the middle of the stride. "Keldor?" She asked.
'' Do you know who he is? ''
''More or less. Why is he here? Why is he unconscious? ''
Miro explained how they managed to find Keldor and that he was powerless.
'' Caspian took his powers. I do not know what he wants, but he is taking the powers of the most powerful sorcerers of Eternia. "Adora deduced and kept looking at Keldor. After a while, she frowned and asked. '' How is he with the face? ''
'' I do not know, but ... wait, how do you know he had no face? ''
"My powers have revealed me." She glanced at the grandfather. "Now I understand why you brought me here. Skeletor was right under our noses all the time! "She glanced back at her uncle. '' Does my father know he's here? ''
''Yes. But he did not want you and your brother to know. "
"Adam would never accept that," Adora whispered.
'' Just like Randor does not like Keldor to be here. ''
