Here come the new chapter. Sorry for the waiting.

Chapter 3 : trial of Greyskull

Teela looked around. She searched for Adam and can't found him nowhere. Fear griped her heart. he can't have disappeared ! She won't allow it. She don't have ever known her mother, and the man she had known as her father had turned his back to her. But Adam was always here for her, no matter what, even when she was so horrible to him. When she had marry him, she had promised herself that she will make up for all of the wrongs she had done before with Adam. If she need to give her life to prove it to him, then she will do it with a smile.

Adam searched for Teela. One second she was there with like if she was his other half, and he think sometime that she really is, and the other second she was no where to be seen. And he feel some panic inside of him. He can't loose her ! Not now, not after she had become his. He had dreamed for so long to have her for him, without any hope to see his dream coming true. Miro reappearance had changed his life, and strangely in some way for the better. Not that he can't have had a nice life in the palace, but he had loved everything he had done since his "escape" from the palace. The only thing he regret about his former life is losing his mother. He had accepted for a long time that his father can't see anything right in him, but after Miro had come, Adam had understand that he had lost the little of love his father had for him. The deflection from the the masters was harder for him, than the one from his father. And the worst is that he don't feel anymore sadness about it now.

Teela was blinded by a light. When she found her sight again, see seen her father in front of her. She wondered how he can have found her. She excepted some scowling from him, but what happen take her totally by surprise. Her father raised his hand and hit her on the face. Never before her father had hit her, and she can't understand why he had done so.

" I'm ashamed !" He yelled. "How can I have raised such an child like you. You were unworthy since the beginning."

" Please father, what happen ? why are you so angry with me ? I just have followed my heart, like you have always told me to do."

" Follow your heart ! You can have everything with Miro, you can have been a queen. And you had let this future down for what ? For a coward."

" Don't say an other word father !" Yelled Teela, interrupting him." You can say what you want about me, but don't say bad words about the man I love more than my life. If you said something like that about him again, I swear that I will never talk to you again."

" The man you love ?" Laughed her father. "Don't made me laugh. How can you love him, when all you have shown to him in the last years was contempt."

" I KNOW ! I was an awful person. I can't understand why he had forgive me. I'm just glad he had. When he had proposed to me, I can't have think to say no to him. Adam is my other half. Without him I'm so lost. I was an idiot to not see it before, but now I'm awake. I have marry him, knowing that I can't never return to the palace of Eternos after that, and I will never regret it. I love you father, but don't doubt that if I have to choose, then Adam will come first."

The same light come again, and teela lost conscious.

Adam found himself in the palace of Eternos. How he can have go there is a mystery to him. He looked around and see his father and Miro coming to him.

" You have finally returned." Said his father. " Now, for once in your life, take it like a man and go to your trial."

" No." Answered simply Adam. " I won't be judged for something I don't have done. You want to give the throne to Miro, it's you right. But I am done with you ordering me around. I'm not a child anymore. I'm sorry that you can't love me, because I have loved you."

" What do you mean by that ?" asked his father.

" I'm done with you. You don't wanted me for your son, then accept that I don't wanted you for my father. I'm really sorry, but it was your own choice who had me made this decision."

" How dare you !"

" Yes, I dare ! I have seen too much, fight too much for blinding me anymore. Mom love me, and I will love her forever, but you. As long as I can remember I don't have done anything who had made proud of me. Even before..."

Adam wondered about letting his secret in the open. But for the last two years, not once He-man had been called. So Adam think that he can tell the truth for once. It's not like if his father would believed him.

" Even before" he continued " I become He-man, you were never proud of me. I was a master, I was good in negotiating, but for you it was normal. Not something I have worked hard to gain. But I have worked hard for you, for having a smile from you. But you have always turn your back to me. Show me how unworthy to be a prince I was. You have never loved me !"

" You have nothing to be loved. Look at what you have done. Stilling your brother fiancee."

" Teela was never his fiancee. Duncan and you had agree to marry her with Miro, and she had refused. I can't say that I don't was happy about it, because it will be a lie. I have loved her since as long as I can remember. I don't know why she had choose me, I'm just glad she had. She had freely agree to marry me, and I rather die than let someone touch her. Face it, she is my wife, and I intend to be her husband for as long as our life will last."

Much to his surprise, his father and Miro disappeared, and he found himself in the hall of Greyskull. He quickly spotted Teela lying on the floor and run to her. He found a great relief at seeing that she is just unconscious, and not dead like he had feared. ' What would I do if I lost you' He think-ed.

" Nothing. You will be lost without me." She answered with a bright smile, opening her eyes.

" Have I had talked aloud ?" He asked stunned.

" No... Adam, there is something that I have hided from you for too long."

" What do you mean ?" Asked Adam with worry in his voice. Hoping she don't want to leave him.

" Silly." She said. " There is no way I will leave your side. Not now, not ever."

" You can read my mind, don't you ?"

" Yes, I'm sorry for having hiding this from you for so long."

" So, I suppose that you know all of my secrets." Said a sad Adam.

" No, I don't."

" What ?"

" I say : I don't know your secrets. They are yours. When you feel ready to share them with me, I will be happy. But until then, I will never use my power to find what you are not ready to share."

" I'm He-man. "he blurted out.

" You're who ?" Asked a very stunned Teela. Showing to Adam that she had tell the truth when she had said that she will never used her power to find his secret.

" I'm He-man, or he is me, like you prefer."

" How ?"

" Do you remember when I turned sixteen ?" He asked. At her nod he continued." Your father had take me to castle Greyskull where the sorceress had give me the sword of power. With this sword I can transform myself in He-man. I can show you if you wanted."

" No, there is no need. I believe you. In a way it made sens."

Then she began to cry. Adam don't liked to see his wife crying, so he come to her to comfort her.

" Please, don't cry." He pleaded. " I hate it when you are sad."

" I was awful." She said between her sob." Showing contempt with you, and love with He-man. You must have hate me."

" I can't, I never can have. I loved you too much for hating you."

" That's why you have wanted to die, isn't it ?"

Adam don't wanted to answer this question, but as his wife she deserved the truth.

" yes." He just said.

Teela hugged him with all her strenght. " Forgive me." She sobbed. " please forgive me, Adam. I was so blind."

" I have forgive you for a long time. Otherwise I will not have asked for your hand in marriage."

" I don't deserve you. But I'm so glad that we are together."

"Me too. Forever. " He said.

" Forever." she agreed.

Their kiss was stopped by the ghostly voice they have heard before.

Don't forget your promise. You have succed the trial of the castle. Lord and Lady come in. The guardian will wake up soon. she will help you in your task. the kingdom of Greyskull will rise again. Sorceress and warrior will again rule the kingdom.

Teela and Adam share a look, and, hand in hand they go to the castle to meet their destiny.

Miro is smiling like a madman. Sooner in the day, he had come to snake mountain and made of Skelettor and his minions, his puppet. Like the masters, they will obey him. He had send them to the search of his brother and his whore. By marrying Adam, Teela had sealed her fate. He will not spare her. Now, she is useless to him. There is no way he take what his brother had used. They will pay with their life their treachery.

Marlena don't know how long she can stay to the palace. She had stay there for her son, but now, she know that he will never return. Adam is too much like Randor for forgiving his father easily. Randor had made his choice, and now he need to live with them. Marlena had always forgive him, because she had known that he was a good man. But she can't anymore. She can't stand to let him touch her. The day he had choose Miro over Adam, he had not only lost a son, but also a wife. Marlena knows that as soon as she know where her son is, she will leave the castle to go to live with him and Teela. There is nothing left in the palace to her, she know it. Like her ancestor, she was a fighter. She was not the descendant of Lord Greyskull for nothing. The time for fighting for her son, her only family, will come soon.

To be continued.
