"Shadow Weaver, Horde Prime requests your presence." Shadow Weaver turns to look at Hordak. The only one here with a personality which is constantly being wiped away. She nods and makes her way to Horde Prime's throne room. Where he sits and waits. Horde Prime doesn't even acknowledge her presence before speaking. "Little Sister I called you here to establish some bylaws for you to follow when picking the children to manipulate."

Shadow Weaver instantly gets pissed off, hoping this man doesn't ruin her plans. "You may not capture any magic users. They are too unpredictable. So that one named Adora you have had your mind on. Leave her behind. She isn't needed besides if your long lost daughter has a connection to her, she will be an asset on it's own." He smirks down at Shadow Weaver who is trying to contain her anger. Of course he read my mind she thought. Of course that useless daughter of hers she gave away would somehow get in the way of this. She however bows her head. "Yes Horde Prime sir." And makes her way to leave.

"Oh and little sister. Remember I see and hear all. Don't try anything foolish." Shadow Weaver clenches her fists and nods, for the first time she regrets betraying Mystacor and joining them, but she just needs to remember the power he holds. The power she can hold when she gets her hands on Adora.

=====

Adora was going over her meeting plans like a fanatic, while Catra watched her from the couch. "Adora seriously, there's no way you could mess this up, you're the only one with something to say. Relax." Catra says for what feels like the millionth time as Adora paces and redraws charts over and over again.

Glimmer chose that time to pop in with Bow. "Adora we're all ready for you." Adora released a shuddering breath as she whispered to herself. "Hey I am Adora, but I mean you remember that!" She gives a nervous chuckle. While the rest of the best friend squad looks at her in worry. See it was finally time for Adora to explain what she had to keep secret all these years and she wasn't exactly excited to drop the news.

They make their way out of the college and wait for their ride to take them straight to Bright Moon. And no not the highschool the actual kingdom with the castle with Glimmer's parents so to say Adora was nervous would be an understatement, they had only ever talked about having war strategies there for if a war were to ever come so to actually go there to speak about this was making Adora a nervous mess. Catra could sense the anxiety and this wasn't a Magicat thing, no she's pretty sure everyone could sense it. So she grabbed Adora's hand and gave it a squeeze Adora seemed to instantly relax as she turned to look at Catra with wide eyes but then smiled, as the car pulled up.

Now with the four of them finally in the vehicle making their way to Bright Moon. Adora was nervously whispering the meeting plan to her self. "Adora hey, don't over stress yourself, just try to think about anything else." Catra says from beside her. Adora and Glimmer took the window seats leaving Bow and Catra to take the middle ones. Adora scoffs as she turns to look at Catra, "Yeah like what? My amazing Cat girlfriend? Oh wait." Adora joked but her voice seemed slightly snappy and sad. Catra looked taken back as she let go of Adora's hand.

"Now is not the time Adora." Catra said sharply. Making Bow and Glimmer nervous beside them. Adora scoffed and glared at Catra, she knows she is just taking her stress out on Catra but honestly when Catra told her to think of something to distract herself, her first thought was the nice feeling of Catra's hand in hers again, but then immediately that image was replaced by Mermista and Catra making out. "And when is the time!? You about to get your explanation along with everyone else. Why wouldn't this be the time." Adora whisper shouts.

Catra scoffs. "I don't need a generic excuse like everyone else. Because you didn't leave them Adora, you stayed friends with everyone. But you left me. You broke me. I deserve more then just this excuse of a war meeting don't you think?" Catra hisses her voice hard but her eyes desperate as they bore into Adora's eyes. Adora chokes on her burning rage, losing it all. She bites her lip and looks down at her lap.

"You're right. I am sorry Catra I just took it out on you." Adora whispers softly. Catra scoffs and looks away from Adora. Adora immediately deflating but Catra gently takes Adora's hand in hers again, still not meeting Adora's gaze as her cheeks redden. The rest of the ride to Bright Moon spent in silence.

The walk up to the war room was just as silent, when they finally arrive, the doors are opened by the guards. In the room are Queen Angella, King Micah, All the princesses and Casta who were already seated. Standing near the walls were DT, Lonnie, Kyle and Rogelio. We all made our way over to the four remaining seats. While Dt, Lonnie, Kyle and Rogelio had chairs brought in for them. Queen Angella rose from her chair. "Its good to see everyone again, but let's skip the formalities and get right down to business. Adora what's this about?"

Adora quickly bowed. "Well ma'am", but then remembered she's a Queen and did a curtsey. "I mean Queen." but then she remembered Queen Angella constantly telling her to just call her Angella. She coughed awkwardly. "Angella, this you see-" Catra quickly wrapped her tail around Adora's leg in comfort, Adora immediately relaxing. She took a deep breath and her face went into game mode. "There's an intergalactic war criminal who destroys planets coming for Etheria." The room was dead silent, in an eerie type of way. Like everyone was too afraid to speak. "I wasn't given an exact timeline for when they would be arriving, but they're close. And their only goal is to concour this planet and turn it into another one of their mind controlled puppets. I am not sure what their strategy will be, but I spent three years training and learning all I can about this race. Or more particularly this man called Horde Prime."

A few people glanced at Catra, she scoffed. "Different bloodline!" She said defensively, everyone snickered. Adora cleared her throat. "He creates clones, his entire army is made of clones or people he has mind controlled. He is considered a dangerous man. He has war stories and legends written about him. Stories that the First ones had rewritten and hidden from us when they conquered this planet. But they saw fit to tell me since, I became She-Ra, I could sense a familiar enemy. And so could Mara, despite not being She-Ra anymore she still has the connection, in other news Mara has actually been dead all this time and just a ghost I could see in times of need because she fought this war a thousand years ago. And now it's back. So yeah that about sums it up."

Frosta immediately shot her hand up. "Oh questions uhm didn't expect that." Adora awkwardly chuckles,"yes Frosta?"

"So I get to punch things right?" She asks excitedly. I glance at Glimmer then cough. "Uhm yes." She beams and puts her hand down.

"Thank you for the Intel Adora. We need to prepare to Commence Project Etheria." Queen Angella said. Micah and Catsa immediately turned to her in shock.

"What's project Etheria?" Glimmer asks.

"All you princesses with a Runestone, has been connected to it since birth but you haven't officially made a connection to it yet yourselves. Project Etheria is all of you connecting to your runestones for war purposes normally you connect at age twenty one. She-Ra included. Hers resides in the sword she can conjure. You all need to connect to them at the same time. To finally gain your full powers. So you guys can train with them. Because how you are now is mediocre compared to what you could achieve, once you guys finally connect to it. When your connection is made, you won't need to recharge as much as you used to. But this power needs to be trained and controlled so your training will increase." Angella then looked at the non elemental princesses and non magic people present. "That goes for everyone as well. You all need to hone your skills. I will implement the full training in your university first thing tomorrow. Casta tell the other lecturers now already, we must prepare. Thank you, you are all dismissed." Queen Angella proceeded to stand and leave the room, the other adults following to inform every other kingdom. Leaving us behind to sit and think.

"Oh and Glimmah! The runestone connection will start first thing tomorrow after training, none of you will be late!" Queen Angella yelled from outside.

"Well that was interesting." Perfuma said calmly looking anything but Calm.

"I suppose we should get some rest." Spinneralla said, holding Netossa's hand and leaving in a gust of wind.

"She's right we have a long day ahead of us." Scorpia said before pulling everyone in for a massive group hug. "Let's head back to the dorms."

Everyone following suit to leave. Leaving just the best friend squad behind. "We gonna go and wait for you two outside." Glimmer said after a moment of silence. Bow nods and they both make their way for the exit.

Catra leaned against the table her arms folded as she watched Adora intently who started making random noises while bouncing on the heels of her feet. Catra sighed when a few minutes passed and Adora still hadn't said a thing. Deciding this was just a waste of her time she starts walking to the exit. Adora reacted in record time her hand latching onto Catra's wrist and tugging her back, Catra gasped as her back hit Adora's chest, her cheeks tinting red as Adora breathed on her neck, Catra shuddered as her tail twitched. She didn't want to move, she quite liked this spot but she also wanted to move because Adora's breathing, and the way Adora's hand automatically fell around Catra's waist made her breathing shallow. Catra couldn't resist it any longer, her eyes fluttered closed as she leaned her head back against Adora's neck. "Catra" Adora whispers her voice an octave lower, doing things to Catra she would prefer not done while she is pissed at Adora. "I never wanted to leave you." Catra released a shuddering breath remaining silent. To Afraid to even breathe too loud, she didn't want to ruin the intimate moment, she misses being in Adora's arms. "I just knew I wouldn't be able to keep anything from you, I couldn't lie to you. You were- you are my one weakness. You will always be my one weakness. So I had to shield you from what was to come, the First ones made it clear no one could know and I know what they are capable of, I had to protect you, I just- I never meant to hurt you Catra."

Catra wasn't sure when she started crying but Adora was holding her tighter now, whispering sweet nothings into her ear, occasionally kissing the back of Catra's neck, or just simply breathing on her ears causing them to twitch. Adora knew Catra's body like a plan she constructed herself. She knew everything to make Catra feel better, everything to make Catra go wild, everything to make her purr or shudder. Catra's body was the map Adora drew and would never forget. So when she lightly brushed her lips on the tips of Catra's ears and Catra released a low purr, Adora couldn't help the smirk that took over. Catra's breathing intensified as she whispered. "Of course you would enjoy playing the hero, I never asked you to protect me." Catra's hands holding onto the one hand that was wrapped around her waist, Her tail wrapping around Adora's leg, While Adora's other hand seemed to enjoy rubbing Catra's hips. It took everything in Catra's powers to not buckle, to not turn around and kiss Adora. But this conversation was not over yet. Adora lightly chuckled. "I know you never asked for it, but I did it anyway, because you matter to me." Catra bit her lip as she exhaled another shaky breath, she swears Adora will be the death of her today. She gulped as Adora's teeth lightly grazed her ears, Catra's soft moan coming out despite Catra's best efforts to stop them. Adora knew she was losing control, this was meant to be a conversation but seeing Mermista and Catra in the same room had her jealousy spiked and then it was them alone, and she just went for it. She just needed to feel Catra shudder and purr against her again. It was like if she didn't see and hear it at that second she would die on the spot. She could tell Catra was slowly giving in, her tail now wrapped around Adora's waist. This was it, Adora was going to turn Catra and they would kiss for the first time in three years. She gripped Catra's waist and was about to turn her when Catra's phone buzzed.

That seemed to bring them back to reality from the world they seemed to be in, Catra yelped and leaped out of Adora's arms, much to Adora's irritation. Cock blocked by a phone she thought begrudgingly. Catra's face was red as she checked her phone, a message from Mermista saying they should probably talk. Catra sighed and turned to look at Adora about to break the news. However Adora saw the message and her anger and jealousy were through the roof, how did Mermista manage to cockblock them from the dorm Adora thought. "We should probably head back." Catra whispered, before making her way to the door. Adora simply nodded as they made their way to the waiting car and a sleeping Glimmer and Bow in the backseat. Catra and Adora climbed in silently. The silence seeming to stretch out into the car making even the driver uncomfortable as he pressed the button to separate the back seats to the front seat.

That's when Catra grabbed Adora's hand and turned to face her. "Midnight. Come to me at Midnight, our dorm." Catra simply stated. "We will finish our talk then." Adora's eyes were wide, while a smile broke out onto her face. She squeezed Catra's hand beaming. "Midnight." Adora whispered back.
