We don't understand how Shadow Weaver got into Adora's room, Bright Moon is impenetrable, she must have used some of kind of magic to reach us. As we walked to the prison, I noticed Glimmer staring at me with wide eyes, whenever I wanted to talk to her she just steps backs from me, and it hurt me every time. Bow said she will come to her senses, that I just needed to give her time, but I wasn't sure of anything anymore.

Finally, after so much tension, we stopped in front of the prison, where Cataspella and Angella were waiting. "This is the prison?" Asked Adora. "Yes, it's the prison!" Exclaimed the queen, Bow and I gazed at each other, knowing that it wasn't really a prison. "Your Majesty, I know Shadow Weaver. I know her tricks. I need to be there for the interrogation, I'm the only one who--"

"Shadow Weaver is dangerous. I will not let that woman near you. Near any of you. You are to stay away from this room." Adora really wanted to see Shadow Weaver, more to seek answer than anything else, and truly, I didn't want to go in. But... "But, Your Majesty--"

"That is final." Adora shrugged her shoulders as we watched the queen and Glimmer's aunt enter the prison. I rested a hand on my girlfriends' shoulder as she groaned loudly. "I need to get in there. Shadow Weaver could have gone anywhere, but she came here. I need to know why. If the queen would just listen to me--"

"Adora, maybe this is for the best. Shadow Weaver raised you. She knows how to get in your head." Said Glimmer, taking her away from the room. I nodded, stroking Adora's cheek softly. "We can't risk her manipulating you, Adora."

Adora rested her hand on mine, looking deeply into my eyes. "That won't happen, I promise you." Then her eyes widened, yawning immediately. "Fine. I guess we should all just head back to bed, get some sleep, heh, let the obviously unqualified Bright Moon Guards handle this." I facepalmed gently, gazing at Adora as Bow crossed his arms. "You're gonna try to sneak in, aren't you?"

"What? No." She walked away, few seconds passed until Adora came back running to the prison, and with a huge 'NO' Glimmer teleported her away. Bow sighed, turning to me. "Will you come help us keep Adora away from the prison?" I shook my head. "I'm sure you'll be fine, besides, I have to help the royal guards with the investigation of my stone."

"I'm sorry we couldn't go ourselves..." He murmured, looking down. "Please Bow don't worry, we'll find it sooner or later. Take care of my girlfriend." The archer smiled and turned away to Glimmer's room, my happy expression changed as I turned to the guard in front of the prison.

I didn't want to do this, but she's stronger than anyone I've ever seen, and I know she can help me. I concentrated my magic and grabbed the guard by the skin, little by little I drained her forces and she fell to the floor unconscious, and I opened the door to the prison slowly. 

I watched as Cataspella and Angella kept interrogating Shadow Weaver. "You could spare yourself the trouble if you would just let me talk to Adora."

"No, you've put that girl through enough. Now tell us the truth. Why did the Horde send you here? What are you planning?" Shadow Weaver laughed at Angella. "You think Hordak sent me? I escaped from Hordak and paid the price for it." The woman started coughing, her own magic was consuming her.

"You're dying, aren't you?" My eyes widened, and I saw the two of them walking towards me, I transformed into smoke and hid in the shadows, waiting till the door was closed. I stopped in front of the woman in red and reappeared as my normal self. "It's you... Are you here to seek revenge for what I did?"

"No, I will not descend to your level. I came here to ask you about the first kingdom of Etheria." Her eyes widened slightly, and she chuckled. "Oh yes. I knew you would want to find answers. Finally... But I will not open my mouth until you let me see Adora."

"Adora will come, I'm sure she won't just stand around. I can promise you that she won't take long to come in with the help of Glimmer and Bow." I said. Shadow Weaver fell silent for a few seconds before motioning me to sit and I gadly did so as I stared. "You have already been informed that you are the last of that royal line, of the kingdom of Galaxia."

"Galaxia?" Shadow Weaver nodded, coughing again. "I'm sure you already know your magic is practically galaxy and its components. That's how they managed to create the other magical elements. Of course... Not without paying a certain prize."

"What prize? How do you know all of this?" I wasn't understanding any of this, and I was worried I wouldn't like the answer. "Everything that happend in Etheria is written in Mystacor, maybe you should ask Cataspella, perhaps there is a lot they haven't told yo--" She coughed more aggresively, her dark magic was vanishing slowly.

"As for the prize... That queen sold her own soul to the stone, the geode stone." My eyes widened. "My stone is a geode crystal?"

"In the writtings, there said the queens and princesses were able to see millions of galaxies and planets. The last queen destroyed her body to unite her soul to the stone, and she disappeared from this planet, with no trace left of her." But... George and Lance said the First Ones were the ones vanishing the last queen. "But that means--"

"(Y/N)?" My eyes averted even more as I turned, seeing Adora and Glimmer standing there petrified. "Adora..." Shadow Weaver called, her voice a lot more soft. Adora took my arm and made me stand some distance from the woman. "Adora I--"

"Why did you come here alone?! Shadow Weaver could have done something to you!" Adora said as she looked at my body, looking for any wounds. "I don't want you get near Shadow Weaver ever again, she could have--" I smiled softly and kissed her cheek. "I was just looking for answers! I didn't see any other way but to talk to someone as powerful as I am."

"But (Y/N) she could have attacked you, tortured you again! And I... I am the last person who wants to see that happening to you again...! Please stay away from her."  She muttered softly to me, pecking my lips gently. 

"How cute..." Shadow Weaver coughed again, getting Adora's attention once more. 

I stood back, watching as Glimmer gave me a small smile before standing next to Adora, they were going to interrogate her too. "Listen up, lady." Started Glimmer. "After all your kidnapping and mind-wiping, I am just looking for a reason to serve up a little payback. So, if you do anything to hurt them again--"

"Glimmer. I've got this." Adora interrupted the princess as she stepped closer to Shadow Weaver, Glimmer teleported next to me. "I'm sorry..." She whispered. "Why...?" I asked in the same tone, gazing at her. "I avoided you because I couldn't-- I mean... It's weird to see you and Adora so lovey dovey everyday and I couldn't look at you the same so IwantyoutoforgivemebecauseI'vebeenabadfriendandohmygoshI'msosorry...!" 

I flashed her a small smile. "It's okay Glimmer, you will always be my friend no matter what, I will always forgive you." Glimmer returned the smile and embraced me tighly.

"I've missed you, my child." That got mine and Glimmer's attention, and we watched as Adora talked with Shadow Weaver. "We're past that. Try again." That's my Adora.

"Clever. You always were. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were different. You were--" Adora interrupted the woman. "Special? No, what you always told me was that I didn't matter. I was special only as long as I obeyed you. Why are you here?" Shadow Weaver coughed more aggresively than before.

"What? What's happening to you?" Asked Adora. "It took all of my magical power to come to you. I am dying, Adora." Adora stepped back, watching the woman in red with averted eyes. "You're lying."
