Of course the spy was totaly mad and Trishia know that if the guard had not kill her before, she can have try to hurt her, but trishia can't help but feel sorry for Miki. The woman don't have deserve her fate. After a short time Trishia wonder how the guard can have escape from the royal jail of Eternos. Her mind is fuzzy and it don't help her to understand what had happen since she had lost conscious. The only thing she is sure is that she feel like if her heart is ready to brake and the fact that she miss Adam more than she can have think it's possible. The sound of an open door cut out her thought.
- Is it you my future mother ? Ask a boy who can have fifteen or sixteen years old.
- I don't think so. I am already married with someone and i'm sure that he don't have a son.
- That don't stop my father. He want you and he will have you no matter the cost.
- I don't know who you are or who your father is, but i can assure you that i am not willing to be your future mother no matter what your father say.
- I'm Jed, prince of the horde.
- The horde ! I'm in the planet of the horde ?
- Yes, you are. So you see, you don't have an other choice than obey to my father.
- We have always the choice.
- You talk like her.
- Who ?
- My real mother. She had kill herself soon after i was born but she had hide a few tape for me. I have found them a short time ago and i can say that you have the same mind.
- I'm sorry for your lost.
- You don't have to, it's a long time ago. You are like She-ra too.
- Thanks ! She is one of my best friend now, even if we know our real self only a few month ago.
- I like her a lot.
- Me too.
The discussion between the prince and Trishia was cut when a numberous of servant come to Trishia's room to help her to be ready for her wedding with the master of the horde. Jed had leave the room soon after the servants have come and Trishia had fight with the servant. She need to give time for Adam and the other to come to this planet and save her. Unfortunatly her pain had increase with each minute and she was not capable to fight as hard as she want.
.........................................................
Finally, in Etheria, the last group of the gipsy had come to the whispering wood and Adam is more than ready to go to save his wife. He had lost her once and he prefer die than lost her again. What had surprise him is the fact that all of the gipsy concider him like one of them. With them he don't need to be the prince of Eternia or He-man, he can be the real Adam. He is discuting a plan with Lukas when a scream of joy from his sister made him turn around. He found him speachless when he look in the eyes of his father.
- Father ? What are you doing there ?
- I come to help you to save your wife, say the king like if it's a normal thing to do. The horde had destroy too much life, it's time to end this.
- Thank you father, you don't know how much it's important to me that you are willing to come to help.
- I'm sorry Adam.
- For what ?
- I was not a good father to you all this time since you had reach eighteen. I have expect too much from you and i have forget that you are not my clone but my son. You don't act like i have but it don't mean that you are wrong. I'm sorry for not having see this before.
- I don't have act too good too. You have only react by what i have let you see. We are both wrong. We are even.
- You're right, but now i want to have an other relashionship with you. Will you too ?
- Yes father. Thank you.
A sob from Adora make the two men look at her with wonder in their face.
- Are you all right Adora ? Ask Adam.
- Of course i am ! I'm happy that's all. Let's go we have a princess to rescue.
- You're always right, laught Adam.
But suddently a great wave of pain hit him and he fall on his knee. In a second Randor and Adora come to him. Adam seem to feel a very great pain and his familly don't know what to do.
- It's time to go to Scilla, say Ryodan. Adam ? Can you come with us ?
- I can and i will, say Adam between a greeted teeth. She is my wife, i need to deliver her.
- Let's go then, say Lukas.
........................................................
Trishia is ready for her wedding. The servant had make her wore a beautiful purple dress in silk and velvet and if it was not for being married with the master of the horde Trishia would have love to have this dress. But now she just despise herself for not having fight as hard as she must have. She don't know if she had gain the time Adam and his friend need but just now she can't do nothing but fall into her bed when the wave of pain hit her without any stop. She want to die for stoping the pain and only the idea of letting Adam alone again stop her to do something very stupid.
Something is happen to the planet of the horde, of this Trishia is sure. She had read when she was younger a book from the queen library about a city in Earth calling "Pompei" and some of the event writing in the book seem to happen in the planet of the horde. The earthquake, the ash, all of this worried Trishia a lot. In the book the city was destroy in less than a day, and it seem that this phenomeon is happen in all the planet and not only around the city of the master of the horde. When the pain had lessened Trishia take a look at the window and she is frightened by what she see. The ash and the stone fall in the garden and in the city. An only coherent thought run in her mind, she must escape before the planet is destroy.
She come to the door and try to open it. She had see the last servant lock it but she is not ready to accept to die here without a fight. She is weak but since a couple of minute she feel better like if she can feel that Adam is near by her. To her surprise the door open as soon as she try to open it. Without a glance behind she run to the exit when a hand stop her.
- Your friends are not here, say Jed. Come with me, i will lead you to them.
- Why help you me ?
- Because i like you. My father had call all of the members of the horde to fight your friends. You must go to them and leave this planet as soon as possible.
- You must escape too. This planet had no longer to live.
- What do you mean ?
- The ashs who fell come from a volcano. When the time had come the volcano will explose and destroy the planet.
- There is always ashs in the air as long as i can remember and the planet is still here.
- Yes, but there is ash only around the city before but now there is ash all around the planet and never before the stone had fall too. I know what i am talking about. The life of this planet had come to an end and this end will be sooner than later.
- How do you know this.
- The servant are talking and i have listen to them.
- I will think about you have say to me. Here we are. Your friend are behind this door. Come on.
..........................................................
The battle was totaly unequal. Adam, the rebels, the guards and the gipsys are a lot of people but on the other hand the horde send two horde's men fight when one of them fall. At first the two eneny are almost even but the master of the horde had call all of his men as soon as he had seen that the rebels would not be defait easily. All of his witch and wizzards had creat a portail to all of the world where the hore rule and call the horde's men of this worlds. Only the soldiers have remain on the planet and soon the horde fighter are fourth more than the rebels.
Adam is fighting side by side with his father. If he had time to think the prince would have wonder why his father fight at his side like if he trust Adam's capacity of fighting. Of course, there is no way here for the prince to act like if he don't know how to fight or at last fight lesser good than he is capable of. Each time the prince attack it's for saving his life or the life of one of his friend. There is no way he can found a way to escape from the battle to hide and transforme himself as He-man, and it's the same for Adora. The coming of their father had prevent them to go to Scilla in their alter-ego form. Suddently Adam feel the strenght he possess as He-man coming to him, like if he had transform himself without his apparence to change. He take a look and a sight of relief escape him when he saw his wife only a few feet from him. Without any difficulty he knock out the four horde's men who are attacking him and his father, to the astonishment of the later, and run to his wife.
Trishia look at Adam and the king who are fighting against four of the most powerful horde's men. She want to help him, she need to do something. She feel like if a wave of power leave her body to come to Adam's body and it's with relief that she see her prince knock out the horde's men. Before she can react she found herself in Adam's embrace and she feel better than before. She had miss him so much and she realise that she will never be capable of leaving him for a long time. But it don't bothered her, it's like the thing must do.
A powerful earthquake made fall all the fighter. The horde's men and the rebels look at each other with puzzled face. No one know what is happen. Suddently Trishia speak in the death silent who had fall to all of the place.
- Adam ! We need to go, now. The planet will explose soon. We don't have a lot of time.
- They can go away if they wish, but you, my dear, you stay here with me. My wife can't leave me !
- I'm not your wife ! I have a husband that i love with my heart and soul ! And if we don't leave this planet soon we will all die.
- Listen to her, father, i know she is right, say Jed.
- Your pathetic coward ! You are like your mother, a useless. If only i can have capture this Marlena, i can have a son who i can be proud of, not like you. The cousin of Marlena was a pale reflect of her cousin and the son she had give me was just a failure. But soon i will have a son i can be proud of. Trishia would give me this son.
- Never ! Say at the same time Trishia and Adam.
- Try to stop me poor excuse of a prince ? Ask Horde prime.
- Don't talk about my son like this ! Exclaim king Randor.
- I know you had say this before, so don't act like a carring father now.
- I was wrong. I don't have see how much i was lucky to have him for my son but now i'm not blind anymore.
After the king had spock this words an other earthquake come and a crack appeared between the rebels and the horde. Seeing this Ryodan open a portal to Etheria and the rebels and the gipsy go throught it with hurry. All of them had understand that Trishia was right and there is only a little time before the planet was totaly destroyed. On the other side of the crack Horde prime give order to his men to prevent Trishia from escaping but there is no way to them to succed. The crack is full of lava and no one can go through this. The witch and the wizzards are not so lucky they had fall in the lava when the crack had appeared. there is no way to save the master of the horde and his men.
Trishia take Jed by his hand and lead him to the portal. Adam and Trishia are the last one to go throught the portal and that's why they heard the last words of the former master of the horde.
- Don't believe you have win, as soon as the situation is calmed i will come to you to have her for my wife. The horde will live eternaly.

She had explain to her children that she need to spend as more time as she can with her husband for the losing of the years they can't have spend together. Trishia and Sea hawk have agree with their mother and it's soon that they come to visite her and their father.
Adora and Hawk have been married two month after the battle of Scilla. They live in Etheria but they come often visite Adora's familly to Eternia. It was hard for the king to not have his daughter to live with them in Eternia but he had understand that she don't belong to the palace of Eternos and she is more happy by living with her rebel's friend than deal with the courtier.
Lukas and the gipsy were very important to Adam and his wife. That's why Lukas troup had come to Eternia with his friend and now they travel all around Eternia instead of all around Etheria. Lucy had come to Eternia too with her mother and now she study to become the magician of the court. Orko and her had befriend rapidely and now the courtier can see them practice the magic together. And it's a fact that Orko's magic had increase in the good way.
Duncan had stay the Man-at-arm and he had stay Teela's father and it's all that had matter to him. The guard were stunned when Trishia had explain that she really was Teela, but she can't stay their capitain. The guards have agree and Duncan wonder if they are not more happy to have her for their princess than they would be if she had just stayed their capitain. And they love their new capitain. After six month the ex-prince Jed had become the new capitain of the royal guard. The king had say that since the prince is from the familly he can occup the post he want but Jed is more than happy in his role of capitain of the guard. He had never dream of a so perfect life to him and he blessed the day he had meet She-ra.
The king had never say to Adam that he know his secret. Like his wife he don't feel the need to provoke his son with the truth. He can see what his son do good and for not letting know that he know the truth, sometime, he say someting about training, but now it's with a hint of tease and his son know it. Their relashionship was great and often the king scowl himself for having letting pass so much time without trying to see behind the mask of his son. It was the death of Teela who had begin to open his eyes and he wish with all his heart that he never need such a horrible thing to see again his mistake. But that's all the mistake are for, being corrected and never making them again.
