But shouldn't she be [glitches and grunts] back by now? She said she was gonna [glitches and grunts] get training to [glitches and grunts] fix me! How long is that going to take--[runs into chair, chair squeaks across floor] OW! [sharp intake of breath] And what kind of monster puts a chair here?!
Okay, I'm worried, too, Glimmer, but taking it out on the furniture isn't going to help.
We can't sit here and hope that she comes back eventually. We have to do something.
GGuard
Princess? There's, uh, something here to see you.
GGuard
No. I mean something.
Swift WindI am my own horse. Call me [in a deeper, more regal voice] Swift Wind!
Our horse can talk! [gasps]
Swift Wind
Yeah, yeah, I can speak my mind now, pretty crazy--SO, I was thinking--
He's a talking hoOoOoOrse!
Swift Wind
As we've established. Now--
Swift Wind
Okay, I'll give you a moment to freak out, and then we need to talk.
Swift Wind
[blusters] --Great! I think Adora needs our help. Since Adora transformed me, I've been able to feel where she is at all times. It's like instinct. But now I feel a pull, as if I'm being summoned to her side. [Bow touches Swift Wind's wing and gasps ecstatically] As part of Adora's herd, I need your help. Will you come?
[Distorted, pitch shifting randomly] The Horde is hurting us. Balance Etheria.
[desperately, panicking] Light Hope? Light Hope, come back! I don't--I don't know what to do.
Swift Wind
[disembodied, hauntingly] Adoraa...[normally] Adora!
Swift Wind
Once again, I'm no one's horse. I'm Swift Wind.
Swift Wind
Yes, I can talk.
[still shocked] You can talk?
Swift Wind
I can see now why you're friends with Bow and Glimmer. They need your help, which is why I'm here. So.... which way's the exit?
I don't know. Light Hope disappeared and I-I don't know if I should go back.
Swift Wind
What do you mean?
Light Hope said if I leave here, I'll make things worse. She's right. Everyone will be better off if I just stay far away from them. It's-It's for the greater good.
Swift Wind
[deadpans] Well, that's just stupid.
[incredulous] What? No, it's not.
Swift Wind
Adora, I've had the ability to form complex thought for like...a week, and even I know you can't help anyone by hiding. Where would all the horses I freed from their barns be if I just sat in a pasture and moped?
[scoffing] I am not moping... [Swift Wind blusters] I'm not! I hurt people, I ruined my friends' lives!
Swift Wind
If that's true, then why are Bow and Glimmer here trying to rescue you? [Hologram of Bow and Glimmer fighting off the spiders and holding Adora in reality] Bow and Glimmer are risking their lives. Not because you're She-Ra, but because you're their friend. What good is all your power if you don't use it to help the people that you love?
...I'm not Mara. I'm not the She-Ras of the past. I didn't do this to fulfill some destiny. I became She-Ra to help others. My attachments, my friends, are a part of who I am.
Swift Wind
So. Are you staying? Or going?
[quickly running and leaping, spinning and crashing her staff down on a drone as they scatter; shouting] For Etheria! [the drone begins to fly away, but Adora spins her staff again and impales it, making it buzz with electricity]
[leaping in and landing next to Adora; confidently] Two down.
Swift Wind
And a whole Galactic Horde to go!
PBPurple bar patron
(speaks in native language)
She says the boat goes to the winner, so...
Swift Wind
Another day is saved by Swift Wind. Good job crew. Let's fly!
Woo! Go captain Swift Wind. (to Sea Hawk) You heard him, fly that boat.
SHSea Hawk
Oh, so now you cheer.
Swift Wind
For the honor of Grayskull!
