No Pov:

There was metal clanging nearby.

"Horsey? Is that you?"Illusion said holding the baby dragon.

There was an old woman humming as she sweeps around her hut.

"Hm? Did you hear something? Yes, I did, too. Who's there?!"razz said.

" I, uh, didn't mean to intrude. Um, but have you seen a flying horse around here?"illusion said as she emerges.

"Oh, Mara, dearie! Is that you? About time you got here. Come on now, there's no time to waste. Let's get going."razz said.

"Uh, you were waiting for me?"Illusion said entering the hut.

"We made plans to go berry-picking today."Razz laughed.

" Look, I'm sorry, but I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I don't know who you are."Illusion said holding the dragon.

"No, you don't know Madame Razz, do you? You're not quite the same. This is the wrong time for my Mara, isn't it? Now you've got the sword, instead."Razz said"and your dragon has always been so cute"

"Wait, what?"Illusion said.

"Ah! Well, never mind. You're here now, and there's still berries to be picked."The lady said.

"Hey, uh, you've said something about the sword. Have you seen it before?"illusion said holding the baby dragon.

"Don't ask such silly questions, Mara. You know you bring that sword around here all the time."Razz chuckled.

" I'm not-Okay. How long have you been living out here in the woods alone?"Adora said.

"Alone? Me? Oh, no! I'm not alone. I've got Broom here, and my friend Loo-Kee, too! But he's always hiding."Razz chuckles.

" Oh, good, she's got imaginary friends."Adora chuckled.

"Whoa."Illusion said as a crystal structure appears.

"Ah! Here we are."Razz said smiling.

"I think I've seen a place like this before. This is a First Ones ruin, isn't it?"Illusion said as the dragon chirped.

Razz was climbing the structure.

"And the best place to pick fresh berries!"

"Hey, be careful up there! That thing's not safe."illusion said the baby dragon on her shoulder.

Razz grunting as the structure begins to light up beneath her.

Razz places her hand on the top, and a light blasts her, causing her to fall.

Illusion catches her as the ruins are bathed in an odd green light.

" Oh, dearie me! That was quite a tumble, eh?"Razz chuckled.

A light flashes from the top of the ruin, and stars appear in the sky.

"Stars?"illusion said.

"Oh, we used to come here to look at the stars. Do you remember, Mara? They're all gone now. What happened to the stars?"Razz said.

"I've seen them before. I know all of this somehow."Illusion said.

Brief visions of Illusion's memories flash across her eyes.

The visions subside, and illusion grips her head. Razz eats one of her berries, unfazed.

"What is this? What's happening to me?"Illusion said as the dragon nuzzled her.

Razz remains silent and eats another berry

"Look, I know you brought me here for a reason. If you know something about the sword, about me, you need to tell me!"Illusion yelled.

"I brought you here to pick berries, and your basket's still empty. So, come on, silly."Razz said"you could have flew up"

"Oh yeah flight"Illusion said looking at the baby dragon.

"If your a dragon you've got to learn to fly"Illusion said holding the baby dragon

She started to flap her wings and fly.

"Yes that's it"Illusion smiled

The dragon flapped her wings sloppily flying away into the sky.

'Shes gone'Illusion thought sadly.

"Just wait deary"Razz said.

Suddenly a burning pain wait though her hand as she heard a roar.

A large blue dragon flew down to her.

"Marvelous deary the dragon has returned"Razz smiled.

The Blue dragon looked at her new large ones.

'what happened'illusion thought.

'razz was right illusion'The dragon said telepathically'The time of the dragon riders has come again'

"You can read my thoughts"Illusion said out loud.

'I have waited a thousand years to read your thoughts and now you can hear mine'the dragon said wisely'I am saphira and you are my rider'

Illusion was shocked.

The dragon's sapphire blue muzzled inched towards her as illusion touched.

The blend of feathers and scales was smooth.

"Marvelous"Razz said smiling as she lead illusion and saphira.

"Wait! Will you slow down?"illusion grumbled as she and saphira moved through the undergrowth.

"Eh? What's that, dearie? I don't have my glasses; you'll have to speak up."Razz said.

"Oh, I know you can hear me. I just-I need you to tell me what to do!"Illusion said grouchy.

"How would Madame Razz know what you should do?"Razz laughed.

"Look, I left my whole life behind, looking for answers about where I came from and who I'm supposed to be. The Rebellion hates me, and I can't go back to the Horde. And I wanna do the right thing, but I don't know what that is."Illusion grumbled.

Illusion and Razz stop in front of a field full of abandoned Horde war machines.

Illusion gasped as saphira grumbled sadly.

"Ah, it's the same old story, dearie. Wicked people destroy what they cannot control."Razz said.

"They can't just do this!"Illusion said.

"Once, the princesses would have protected us. But these days, they-they stay in their castles, protecting only their own lands. Meanwhile, the Horde creeps ever closer."Razz said"The dragons would fly with their riders until the riders were all destroyed as were their dragon's"

"Wait what"Illusion said.

"If a dragon dies,her rider will live on,but if the rider dies..."Razz trailed off at the end.

'so does her dragon'Saphira said sadly to illusion.

Illusion looked down.

Saphira could die if she died.

" You're very like my Mara, you know? Brave, loyal, but afraid."Razz said.

"I'm not afraid."illusion growled.

"Dearie..."Razz chuckles" You ran into the woods and asked the first old lady you could find what you should do!"

"No one is going to make this easy for you, dearie. Stop waiting for someone to tell you what the right thing to do is."Razz sakd"You're a smart girl. What do you think?"

"I think...this is wrong."Illusion said.

There was a horse neighing.

" Horsey."Illusion said jumping onto Saphiras scaly back.

A group of horde soilders were tying down the horse.

" For the honor of Grayskull."Illusion said quietly from Saphiras back.

" Keep those lines taut.*A soilder said.

Illusion tears open the net restraining the horse.

The horse neighs and runs away.

"Turn off your machines and leave this place now!"Illusion said as shera.

" It's the princess. Get her!"The horde solider yelled but before he could run at illusion a pair of giant blue claws picked him up and threw him.

Saphira snarled and attacked.

grunting and shouting as She-Ra fights the horde soldiers

more grunting and shouting as another wave of horde soldiers attack She-Ra.

"That's my girl."razz laughs and tosses She-Ra her sword.

Razz was hitting a horde soldier with her broom.

"Take that, you great lump! Razzle Dazzle!"

"Razz, no! You can't be here!"shera yelled.

Saphira roars and attacks the horde.

"Woo-hoo!"Illusion yelled but She-Ra is hit by a laser and collapses suddenly.

"Mara, dear!"Razz yelled.

Horde soldiers shouting as they close in on Razz and She-Ra

" Razzle Dazzle!"Razz yelled as she throws down her berries and creates a smokescreen.

In the smoke was a shillohete of a dragon taking razz and shera away.

Illusion was being awakened by saphira.

'wake up'Saphira said poking illusion with her snout.

"Hello, dearie."Razz said.

"Ow."Illusion said.

"Swift wind and I have been talking while you were asleep. He thanks you for coming to his rescue."Razz said pointing at the brown horse as saphira sat down.

"Swift Wind?"Illusion questioned.

"That's what he prefers to be called. Also, he wanted me to make sure that you know that "Horsey" was a stupid name."Razz said"How do you feel?"

"I'm...I'm okay. I think I know what I need to do."illusion said standing up"If the princesses won't defend Etheria, then I will."

*I need to get back to Bright Moon."Illusion said jumping onto Saphiras back.

"Ah, that's the spirit, dearie!"Razz Said.

"Will I see you again?"Illusion asked.

"If you need me, you will always know where to find me."Razz said.

Illusion sat on Saphiras back as the massive dragon took off flying with illusion laughing.

Bright Moon castle.

"How could you possibly think this was acceptable?!"Angela yelled angrily.

"Mom, you don't understand! You're not listening!"glimmer yelled.

"You've shown remarkably poor judgment! Allowing a Horde soldier let alone a Demon horde soldier into Bright Moon without telling me?"Angela growled

" Your majesty, it's not all her fault."bow said.

"Bow, I think it's time you went home. Glimmer and I have a lot to discuss."Angela said.

"Mom!"Glimmer yelled.

A golden light floods the room as She-Ra enters,a large blue dragon next to her, gracefully waking.

"It can't be."Angela said shocked.

"I was trying to tell you. Mom, meet-"Glimmer said.

"She-Ra."

"Your Majesty, I've come to pledge myself to the Rebellion. But first, there's something you should know."Shera said.

She-Ra transforms into illusion.

Everyone gasped in shock as there was muttering about illusion being a horde soilder.

The muttering was quickly stopped by a loud snarl from Saphira.

"Mom, this is illusion."Glimmer said introducing the young horde soilder.

Illusion kneels and offers Angella the sword.

"I know you have no reason to trust me, Your Majesty. But I've seen for myself the atrocities the Horde has committed against the people of Etheria, and I'm ready to fight to stop them. If you give me the chance, I know I can help the Rebellion turn the tide of the war."Illusion said.

Angell takes the sword.

"I know the legend of the warrior the First Ones called She-Ra. They said she would return to us in the hour of our greatest need to bring balance to Etheria. I never thought she was anything more than a myth."Angela said" And yet you're here now. And in the uniform of a Horde soldier, no less."

Illusion winced slightly.

" You would pledge to stand with us against those you once served?"Angela said.

" Yes."Illusion said as saphira kneeled next to her (like how buckbeak kneeled in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban)

"Glimmer, you would vouch for her and take responsibility for her?"Angela said.

"Yes."

"Then rise. The Rebellion accepts your allegiance, She-Ra, Princess of Power."Angela said.

Angella returns the sword to illusion.
"
" She-Ra! She-Ra! She-Ra!"

Glimmer shouts and hugs illusion" Welcome to Bright Moon!"

"But for real this time."Bow hugs her as well as saphira was on her hind legs, raising her neck gracefully.
