CHAPTER 8
DAY ONE. GREAT REBELLION, FINAL BATTLE.
Adora got up early the next morning, the supplies had been delivered the day before, and today from what the spies said, there would be one more battle.
After breakfast, she watched as the rebels took advantage of the early morning, until they heard someone call.
-''HELP! PLEASE!''
Adora got out of her reverie and searched for the person, who appeared through the trees.
-''Adora! Thanks the stars. My village is being attacked.''
-''At where?''
-"In the south." -The teenager pointed.
-''I'm going. Rebels! "She beckoned to a small emergency group. She would turn into She-ra, but it's always good to have reinforcement.
-"I'll go with you." Hawk said. He and his crew had already been in the whispering woods for three days. Knowing they needed help, she did not argue.
-''Let's go.''
Just as Adora had hoped, Sea Hawk was at her side all the way. He was getting too close to the secret, and she knew it. After a while, she managed to mislead her fiancé and be alone to make the transformation.
The battle lasted the rest of the morning and was followed by the great battle of the day, which the rebels won again and destroyed thousands of robots.
At that night.
-"Where were you in the battle?" Hawk asked as they dined in Adora's room in the Brightmoon castle.
-"In the eastern part of the city, I took care of some robots and sent them to the old iron." -Adora laughed.
Hawk laughed as well and watched her, since he began to pay more attention to Adora, he realized that many of the things about his location in the battle were rehearsed, to look like she was in one place when in fact she was in another.
-''What's it?''
-"You're still hiding something from me."
Adora sighed. -"Hawk, we've talked about this."
"So why do not you tell me where you really were? I'm close to finding out. ''
-''For if I speak, I will reveal the secret. ''
-"And why do not you want to reveal?" -Sea Hawk was running out of patience.
-"WHY I LOVE YOU!" -She raised her voice and lowered herself again. -''And I want you to be safe! If you knew the truth, it would have put you in danger. ''
-"Are you implying that this secret is more important?"
-"It will never be more important."
They looked at each other for a while, until they realized they were fighting.
Adora closed her eyes with the tears that threatened to fall and said.
-"Sorry, I should not have raised my voice with you.''
Hawk approached and hugged her.
-"I'm just going to forgive you if you'll forgive me for being out of patience and pushing the subject." -He lifted her chin and kissed her tenderly. When they walked away, they were both smiling, until the palace alarm rang.
-"Another attack." -Hawk exclaimed.
-"Hordak does not tire." -Adora said.
