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.
I am my own horse. Call me [in a deeper, more regal voice] Swift Wind!
Our horse can talk! [gasps]
Yeah, yeah, I can speak my mind now, pretty crazy--SO, I was thinking--
He's a talking hoOoOoOrse!
As we've established. Now--
Okay, I'll give you a moment to freak out, and then we need to talk.
[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.
[disembodied, hauntingly] Adoraa...[normally] Adora!
Once again, I'm no one's horse. I'm Swift Wind.
[still shocked] You can talk?
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.
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.
[deadpans] Well, that's just stupid.
[incredulous] What? No, it's not.
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!
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.
So. Are you staying? Or going?
LSLight Spinner
Impressive casting, Micah. But you allow yourself to become distracted.
MMicah
You can't expect me to out-cast Light Spinner; the greatest sorceress to ever walk the halls of Mystacor.
LSLight Spinner
I have no time for your flattery. If you're going to interrupt my lessons, you might at least apply yourself. I want focus as you cast your illusions.
On one of our missions, we received a message from an unknown source. If we knew what Serenia meant, I think we could figure out the rest.
LLance
“Serenia, portal, Mara” Okay. But what are these other words?
I don't know. It's too degraded to read.
GGeorge
Wait a second. Lance, what does this pattern look like?
LLance
(gasps) Oh, I think you're right.
GGeorge
Look at it, Bow. Really look at it. What do you see?
These aren't words at all, are they?
LLance
Oh, now you've got it. George, get the projector.
GGeorge
The world of the First Ones was different from ours. Climate, language, even the sky was different, filled with cosmic formations they called...
CCastaspella
Now for the last time, tell us what you know. (truth spell hums)
I know that when you cast a truth spell, you should make sure you've drawn it correctly. Sloppy work. Are you sure you're Micah's sister?
She's trying to get under our skin.
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?
(laughs) You think Hordak sent me? I escaped from Hordak and paid the price for it.
You! You took me away from my family when I was a baby! You lied to me my whole life, about the Princesses, about Etheria, about who I am!
HHordak
I could not have lied to you about who you are. Because I have never known nor cared about someone as inconsequential as you.
(shouts) You should care, because I'm the one who's gonna make sure you fail!
HHordak
I will not fail. You have no power to stop me. I am opening that portal. And I am going to use your own sword to wipe out the rest of you pathetic Rebellion once and for –
It’s all my fault. I’ve been so afraid of becoming another Mara. Destroying the world the way she did…and now…it’s happening.
RRazz
Destroy the world? [Chuckles] No. Mara saved the world, and so will you. But you can’t waste any more time. You need to go back to the beginning. You need to find the sword. That is the only way this will stop!
I did that, didn’t I? I went back to the Fright Zone. The portal wasn’t there!
RRazz
No, that wasn’t the beginning. You need to go back to the very beginning.
RRazz
That’s all right, dearie. You don’t need to understand. You just need to remember.
Adora: I have to remember…
[Flashbacks of the Best Friend Squad]
[Gasps] Bow and Glimmer. I need to find them!
RRazz
Go on, dearie! Quickly!
