Okay, this story's going to be short like my Gargoyles story, I posted before this one and I want to apologize right now that I think many of you are going to be disappointed with the ending. Teela and Adam are not going to fall in love, though there had been hints of it in the series. It's just who I did put Adam with showed a great deal of interest in him and the feeling was mutual with Adam. You'll see in the next chapter. Again, sorry.
Chapter Three- The Transfer
The Sorceress raised her arms and called, "Spirit of Grayskull, the time has come for my daughter, Teela, to succeed me as the Guardian of Grayskull. Let the transference of magic commence!"
"So it shall be done," the Spirit replied.
White light formed around the Sorceress and glowing brighter with each passing second. Teela shielded her eyes from the glare. The light soon became a pillar of energy that rose out of the Sorceress and descended on Teela. The young woman felt the energy seeping into every fiber of her being and knowledge she had never know before was pouring into her mind. Soon, the light faded and Teela opened her eyes to see her mother looking the same as she did moments before. She looked down to see herself wearing the same costume as her mother and knowing that from this moment on she was the Sorceress and could be Teela no longer.
"Teela Na," the Spirit said. "Someone must go to the palace to tell Man-At-Arms and Adam that the transfer has taken place. The Sorceress does not know how to use telepathy or become Zoar yet. I will instruct her in the use of telepathy. Can I ask you to go to the palace to tell them?"
"Yes, of course, Spirit." She gave the Sorceress a kiss on the cheek. "I will return soon, my daughter."
Teela Na was a bit nervous as she piloted her daughter's Sky Sled toward the palace, yet she knew what she needed to say. It feels strange not to have to rely on a crystal to maintain my human form as is having my true name back. I do feel a bit guilty that my daughter had to take my place though I knew that one day it would eventually come to pass.
Teela Na landed the Sky Sled and paused to look around. She was so accustomed to flying around in order to find Duncan or Adam that having to do so on foot was a bit disconcerting. She heard footsteps and turned around to see Duncan behind her with a surprised look on his face.
"Sorceress?" he asked.
The former guardian shook her head before replying, "I am the Sorceress no longer. I am Teela Na. My daughter has taken over my duties as Guardian of Castle Grayskull."
Man-At-Arms was taken aback. "So soon? But why?"
"I had sensed that the time was drawing close, particularly when I learned of Skeletor's plan. The new Sorceress has much to learn and I offered to come here to break the news to you and Adam before I return to Grayskull to act as an advisory in magic."
"Well, don't let me delay you to going back to help the Sorceress. I'll tell Adam for you."
"I thank you Man-At-Arms. Goodbye and I promise to visit from time to time."
Adam gaped at Man-At-Arms, hardly believing what he was hearing. Teela was the Sorceress now and the former Sorceress was going by her true name now. This knowledge made Adam aware that Teela now knew his secret and the fact that he had never told her. But, surely she also knew why he didn't tell her.
"Adam, are you all right?" came Man-At-Arms's voice, sounding a little distant.
Adam shook his head slightly before saying, "Yeah, I'm all right. It's just a shock hearing all this. I didn't realize that the time had come already."
"I know. It was a shock to me as well."
"It is kind of nice that Teela, er I mean, the Sorceress now knows my secret and why I didn't tell her."
"Not just your secret, but Adora's as well."
"Hey, you're right. Adora should know there's a new Sorceress. Perhaps, she'll learn to contact my sister."
"I have a feeling her mother is instructing her in that right now."
"That's right, Sorceress. Now, concentrate on Adora while calling her name."
"Adora…Adora," Sorceress chanted as she stood in front of the Window of Spirits with her hands clasped at head level. It felt strange to be addressed as Sorceress, but she knew she would eventually become accustomed to the title. She pushed this thought aside as she continued her efforts to contact Adam's sister.
Her efforts paid off as the mirror shimmered and Adora's face appeared in the glass. Her blue eyes looked puzzled as she looked at the Sorceress. "Teela?" Adora asked, puzzlement also evident in her voice.
Sorceress shook her head. "I'm not Teela anymore. I am the new Sorceress and I was urged to call you to tell you this and that I now know that you are also She-Ra."
"You're not angry that I never told you, right?"
"Correct. I'm not mad at you or Adam. I understand why both of you kept your secrets."
Adora smiled. "I'm glad to hear that. I-," Suddenly the sound of explosions was heard and Adora looked behind her before facing the mirror again. "I'm afraid I have to go. Hordak is attacking."
"Goodbye, Adora and good luck." The Rebel Leader's image vanished and the Window was an ordinary mirror again.
