Ok so sorry for not uploading in forever. A lot of the story had to be rewritten. Thanks to KathrineBud15 for helping with this chapter and making sure I don't humiliate myself :D.

*Disclaimer* I still don't own He-Man. Alas. I just own my OC.

When Destiny woke she knew, without opening her eyes, that she was no longer in Snake Mountain. She was on a soft bed and there was a light and even with her eyes closed she could tell that it was bright. The air smelled of fruit, flowers, and fresh bread.

She opened her eyes slowly, only to close them again when the light proved too bright for her eyes to handle. There was the sound of rapid footsteps and the light was no longer as bright.

She opened her eyes again and looked around taking in her surroundings. She was in a room with yellow walls . It was daylight but close to sunset judging by the light level filtering in through the white drapes. There was a lamp that looked like a glowing orb on a small table on her left.

She was under a rather comfotable quilt that was white with yellow diamond patterns. She tried to swallow but her throat was too dry, making her cough. Someone held a glass of water to her mouth for her to drink, which she drank gratefully, finishing it quickly.

After she had finished drinking she noticed the people. There were three in the room with her. She recognised two of them. One was the man who had come to rescue the Prince, the other was the redheaded woman who had pointed the sword at her when she went to help them. The woman was on her right holding the empty glass. The man was in front of her by the door just in her line of sight. The third was another man who was on her left side that she did not recognise he was tall, muscular, tan with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He wore some hind of harness across his chest but the rest of his chest was bare.

"Hello" he said "I am He-Man. This is Teela, " he gestured to the redhead, " and Man-At-Arms" he pointed to the man by the door. She tried to say her name but no sound came out.

He-Man looked at her for a second then said "I was told your name is Destiny." She gave a weak not. 'Where am I?' She tried to say but it seemed her voice had not yet returned. He-Man seemed to understand because he said " You are in the Palace of Eternia. You'll be safe here while you recover. Once you're up to it we hope you'll answer a few questions. ". She said nothing seemingly lost in her own thoughts. A yawn took her by surprise, and the redhead, Teela said. "We'll let you rest for now. We can talk later." Destiny gave a small not as her eyes drifted closed against her will.

They waited until they were certain Destiny had fallen asleep before they went out into the hall and closed the door.

"I know she helped us in the past," Man-At-Arms said. "but until we know why she helped us rescue Prince Adam we should take a few precautions. I'd like to have a guard remain by the door, just in case she proves to be less than friendly."

"Father," Teela said. "I'd like to stay with her tonight."

"Very well Teela, I'll leave her with you tonight."

"Goodnight Father, Goodnight He-Man." Teela said before turning and going back in the room with Destiny. "I'll be leaving too for now Duncan, unless you think I should stay."

"No, He-Man you can go. I'll call if we need you."

"Goodnight Duncan."

"Goodnight He-Man."

He-Man turned and went down the hallway. When he was sure no one could see him, he held his sword over his head. "Let the Power return." He said in a clear voice. There was a flash of light and Prince Adam stood in his place. He sheathed his sword and walked to his room. His thoughts were on the girl. Her wounds had been severe. If they hadn't shown when they did, she likely would have died before help had arrived. Akuma had said she would protect her, and yet she hadn't. Then there was that voice. It did have the same tone to it as Akuma's but now that he thought about it, it didn't sound like her. Who was it and where had Akuma gone?

Then to add to the confusion the Belt of Destiny had floated to her while they were in Castle Greyskull. Even the Sorceress had seemed surprised. There was more to the girl than met the eye.

He closed the door to his room. He was too tired to dwell on things now. He would try to speak to Destiny tomorrow. Hopefully she would be able to give him some answers. He crawled into bed, turned off the lamp and in moments he was asleep.

A few hours later his door opened and Cringer crawled in, and curled up at the foot of his bed.
