Several months later . . .

You and Light Spinner don't wake up to one of the girls whining, but instead you both wake up to a frantic knock on the door.

Light Spinner grasped her staff as always before going to answer the door. When she opened it, she was stunned to see Norwyn as pale as a ghost.

"Mystacor is crumbling. The Horde is too strong. We need your help. Now. Leave the girls, and I'll take you two," Norwyn frantically stated.

"Woah, we can't leave Adora and Catra behind. I refuse to. They can't defend themselves," you argued.

"Don't worry, they won't be seen as long as we hide them using invisibility enchantments," Norwyn explained.

"How are we supposed to find them again?" you asked frightened.

"We put a tracking spell on the girls as well, so in the event we can't find the house we can find them," Light Spinner frantically stated.

"We need to leave if Mystacor has a chance," Norwyn urgently said.

You and Light Spinner swiftly cast the two spells and leave for Mystacor with Norwyn.

▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️

When the three of you arrive in Mystacor, the sight brings tears to Light Spinner's eyes, and you become a ghost in the brightness of the day.

The flames bring warmth to the cool day in Mystacor, but it brings alive the horrors in the Horde. The blazing fires was the fiery pits of hell for the beautiful heaven that you and Light Spinner used to call home.

Your fear doesn't last long as you immediately start to charge at the Horde's army. It's going to be way harder for you to take our home away again.

Light Spinner soon follows you in the crusade. You put out fires and attack the smaller Horde soldiers. You take everything out with ease. However, you can't see Light Spinner.

"Beatrix! BEATRIX WHERE ARE YOU?" you cried out.

"HORDAK!" Light Spinner boomed.

The robotic man with a scowl in his eyes turn to meet Light Spinner.

"What do you want?" Hordak snarled.

"For you to be dead," Light Spinner responded.

Hordak immediately lunged towards her, and she quickly conquered several spells to deflect him off of her. However, his strength soon got to her. Light Spinner falls after a blast from Hordak's strongest weapon yet. You run over to take her place with Hordak. He beats you to the ground. However, you suddenly come up to give him a blast on the right cheek. He stumbles like an innocent child.

You pick up an unconscious Light Spinner, and you take her away. There is nothing you can do. The sea of dead sorcerers taken out by Hordak's weapons nearly drowns you as you walk to the courtyard.

The blood drips down your face like a heavy rain shower and falls down with the damage of hail on the courtyard brick.

"I'm sorry Norwyn. There's nothing we can do. Mystacor will fall, and we will have to uproot ourselves. For our safety we have to leave. Now," you informed Norwyn. There is a tremble in your voice and a lump in your throat.

"I'll get as many people out as I can. You two must leave. If Mystacor crumbles, you two must still be around to raise Adora and Catra to become the next generation of warriors against the Horde. We've done all we can. We must now let the Horde take over," Norwyn sobbed.

"Where are you going to go?"

"I don't know that. Maybe Brightmoon. They are protected from the Horde by the whispering woods."

You nodded. "Alright. I'll see you on the other side."

Norwyn's thunderstorm of tears erupted. "See you on the other side."

Then suddenly, Light Spinner wakes up. The magic erupted from her body making all of the Horde soldiers including Hordak collapse to the ground. The Horde in fear retreated back to the Fright Zone.

"BEATRIX!" you exclaimed.

You embrace her in a hug. "You just saved Mystacor singlehandedly."

"Wait . . . what?" Light Spinner asked tiredly.

"Your magic must have been built up by the blast of Hordak's weapon. I don't know what happened, but whatever happened made the Horde retreat," you explained.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Can we come back here now. Can we live in Mystacor forever?"

"Unfortunately, I think it's best if you stay in the whispering woods for now. The Horde will be looking for you. Staying off the grid will keep you safe. Train Adora and Catra to become the best fighters possible. We'll see you around though. I promise we will keep in touch," Norwyn interjected.

Light Spinner looks depressed, but she knows it's for the best. You and Light Spinner leave Mystacor and go back to the hideout.

▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️

When you arrive at the hideout you arrive to two screaming children.

"Ah shit. Here we go," Light Spinner commented.

You laughed. The rough journey will be worth it.
