[Adora's POV]

I couldn't sleep. We got a big day tomorrow but I just can't. seem. to. relax. uggggh!!
Yeah, I'm nervous about the Crimson Waste. We don't know what we'll find out there, what we'll find about where I came from, who I am, what I am. 

I tossed and turned under my blanket. It was better than pacing around my room I guess. But something else was also on my mind. 
Shadow Weaver had taught me how to heal, maybe I can heal Silver. I already didn't want her current condition to worsen. I should've at least give it a try. I got up with a groan and changed out of my night clothes, before rushing to the infirmary with my sword. 

The halls were quiet, like it was every night. The thumping of my boots and my heavy breathing being the only sounds present. Most nights I don't get enough rest and Glimmer has a tendency to nag me to go sleep. But compared to worrying about battle plans, I'm worrying about...my girlfriend? I still don't know what we are yet, but I intend on finding out someday. 

I came to a slow and opened the door to the infirmary, compared to the usual hustle taking place in this department, it was pretty quiet. Only the beeping of the heart monitor was heard as I stepped closer to the girl laying on the bed at the center of the room, a small chair nearby. Silver's heart beat wasn't the same as the first time I had visited it slowed down to a normal pace. Her rapid breathing had dissipated too. Her breaths came slow as though she was actually sleeping. Well, she kinda was, sleeping, but not sure if she'll wake up soon. I sighed and lifted the chair, moving it closer as I took a seat and looked at her. 

I transformed, whispering the words needed to do so. 

I had to try, it was the most I could do. I closed my eyes holding my sword in front of me, trying to concentrate on the power from the Runestone embedded in it. It was hard to have peace in my mind when I was this worried though. My eyes burned with tears and I gave up with a grunt after I thought nothing happened. I dropped my sword next to me looking to Silver, noticing she didn't even budge, everything looked the same. 

I sighed and tried several other times after that, but still nothing. 

I rubbed at my temples, leaning the sword on the bed. I detransformed. 'I tried but nothing happened...something should've happened. She could've at least moved or something...' I thought as I choked up, finally allowing the tears to flow. 'I really am useless, even as She-ra...' I cried silently, burying my face in my arms as I rested my head on the mattress. 

[Silver's POV]

All was black....I should be used to this by now, the amount of times I've been unconscious. Then that changed.

I was currently walking through a small village, what I remember of the village at least. I saw a female magicat with a white mane, a brown striped tail also equipped with blue eyes, had notice me, her husband who in turn had silver hair atop his head and along his tail also did. He had green eyes that brightened when they saw me. Both magicats called my name and walked towards me, I did the same as we met halfway with a tight hug. 

Tears escaped as they held me. Their embrace was a shadow on my heart. The only thing that actually kept me going was the hope that I'll somehow find them back. 

"Wow, my little kitten's all grown up. How old are you now? 20? 22?" The lady asked. I nodded, "19, mom. 19." 

"Hmm, you seem older." She held my face in her hand and looked me over.

"We've missed you, squirt." The male magicat said messing up my hair. "You cut your hair?" My mom asked. I looked to the ground, they always liked it long. Surely they never expected me to cut it. 
"Yeah actually....I cut it when I was 12. It's nice. I like it light." She hummed in response. 
"And your girlfriends?...." She started again. I blushed brightly, "My what?--"
