| Cast of Characters: | Adora Rainbowfist |
Adora found herself standing in a familiar forest, in front of a familiar hut. She didn't hesitate, immediately opening the door to open that hut. "Madame Razz! W-what's going on, I thought that after closing the portal, everything was supposed to be back to how it was!"
"Mara, dearie! Hello! Are you here to make that pie?"
Why was it always this frustrating? "What, no, I'm Adora."
"Adora? I don't know an Adora." The old lady says, rummaging through her belongings as usual, "Ah, there it is. Come on, Mara, let's go gather some berries!"
Adora gives a sigh, but goes along with it anyway, taking the basket to follow Madame Razz out the door.
...Once she steps out, she finds herself standing in front of Light Hope as She-Ra, holding the Sword of Power.
"I sense that you are not taking this training seriously, She-Ra."
She-Ra shakes her head. "I'm taking it seriously! It's just that I can defeat dozens of these basic horde bots without breaking a sweat."
"Then perhaps I should make it harder." More holograms are created, which She-Ra leaps towards with her sword, slicing one of the holographic creations in half. And behind it.
She finds herself standing in front of a seat, an injured woman both familiar and not slouched in the chair, leaning heavily to one side and supporting herself. "She-Ra, if you're hearing this, I've failed..."
"Failed what?!" Adora asks, and suddenly the hologram is gone, and darkness closes in.
She finds herself standing, wearing an intensely uncomfortable dress with Glimmer and Bow standing nearby, Queen Angella talking to her, and she was talking with her. She felt a smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she spoke words that she couldn't hear.
Her mouth open as shared laughter that she couldn't hear escapes her lips. And then everything seemed to freeze, as Corrupted Catra slipped out from behind Angella.
"Heeeeey Adora. Did you really think killing me and letting someone else kill herself would let you escape?"
"NO!!!" Adora leaps towards Catra, reaching for a sword that suddenly wasn't there.
"Aw, it's too late, Adora. Just look at yourself."
Adora looks down, pink lines and black void spreading rapidly across her body as Catra's laughter rings out.
The ground breaks underneath her, and suddenly she is falling into a pink void, all of her friends falling around her, burning away in a burst of pink fire and ash as calls ring out around her.
"Adora." "Adooooooora..." "ADORA!" "Hey Adora."
"...Take care of each other."
Adora's eyes snap open as she sits straight up in her bed, breathing heavily as sweat beads down her face, most of her blankets having been kicked off during the course of the night. She looks around quickly, searching for threats in a room that she barely recognizes, full of belongings that aren't hers.
Once it seems... relatively... safe, she scoots into the back corner of her bed, wrapping her arms around her knees.
Eventually falling asleep again in that position.
