The Tides Of War

Weakness In My Heart

Silver sat there for about an hour. The queen eventually finding her and laughing at how nervous she was right before leaving.
The sky, however, was changing so much. Red lightning and black clouds both rolled in from the direction of the FrightZone. Something was wrong she could feel it.
The moment snow started falling she knew she was right.

The magicat upon seeing this, bolted to inform the Queen. Though, just 5 measly steps before she could open the doors to the throne room, she felt significantly weaker.
Looking around, Silver noticed that Angella wasn't there.

A bright light from the Moonstone caught her attention. Her ears pinning back as she closed her eyes, a beacon shooting straight for the sky. Angella was at the Moonstone.

Silver's eyes shot opened and she gasped, holding at her chest, right over her heart. A sudden sharp pain stabbing at her from the inside. The magicat, started feeling drained as the pain fluctuated, falling to her knees as she held herself up on the doorframe.

Silver groaned in pain as she fell to her knees. Several other people landing on the platform just outside. Angella rushing to her in a frenzy.
"Isn't that, Princess Silver from Princess Prom? " Glimmer questioned as Angella lifted the feline to her arms, flying to Adora's room. Glimmer teleported Adora and Bow to her room, meeting the pair there.
"What's happening to her?! " Adora panicked seeing the grimace in the magicat's features. To be honest, Silver wanted to know the exact same thing.

"With the elements out of balance, both Silver and Etheria are under great distress. With Silver being connected to the planet, there's no saying how devastating this can get if a rune stone is destroyed. " Angella informed and Silver whimpered in pain, gripping at the fabric of her shirt tighter.

"We have to stop this... " Adora spoke, shaking her head slightly.
"We need to. Or else we'll lose a lot more than our magic. " Angella tucked a lock of hair behind the feline's ear.
"Hang in there, okay? We're going to stop this. "
The stubborn magicat attempted to sit up, protesting.

"No, I want to help. " She yelped and fell back. Adora gasped and her hand flinched, when wanted to help but didn't know what to do.

"You can't fight like this Silver. " She groaned and relented. The pain was getting unbearable anyways. But despite hat, she swore she saw Adora glance at her necklace and her eyes widened, as if going deep into thought at a realization.

No questions could be asked though as they had to prepare for an invasion, the Whispering Woods being unprotected and BrightMoon vulnerable.
"Still no response from the other kingdoms? " Glimmer asked and Angella shook her head.
"No, we're on our own. They made that pretty clear last time. " Adora turned to the side, rather upset as she folded her arms.

"AAAHHH! STUPID HORDE! " Silver writhed and tore part of Adora's cot by accident.
"Let's go stop this. She's suffering. " Adora said rather coldly as she pushed through the others to go prepare. Glimmer and Bow looked at each other as they shrugged and left as well.
"Just stay with us. We'll stop this. " Angella spoke softly before shutting the door behind her.

Moments passed, and the Horde were here.
How she knew? The impacts to the castle and the pain in her chest.

The room shook as another blast hit the castle, tiles and dust falling from the roof. But that was the least of her problems as impact to a 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙙 Moonstone made her stifle a scream and tears slipped out her eyes.

It was like someone was squeezing her heart and it pop any second. She could barely breathe properly.

Silver's skin burned as the runestone took on more and more impact. It's almost as if they're aiming for it on purpose.

Something was wrong and this battle was going on for quite a while. Silver almost getting numb to the pain. Gritting her teeth and yelling into the empty room. Her ear clicked as she heard Adora's voice in a painful scream.
She feared the worst, tumbling off the cot and barely avoiding the body of water in the room, bearing through the pain to get to the balcony.

No no no no no, where is she?! Come on... No....

Silver caught sight of Adora's new armor and let out a sigh of relief, sliding to her knees. But Adora wasn't doing so well either way. She had just managed to lose her shield, Horde cadets holding She-ra into electric ropes as they basically electrocuted her.
Catra walked up to the blonde and put a hand to her cheek just before Adora passed out into the water.

The feline's eyes darted to the Moonstone and widened as she saw the forcefield vanish.
The horde shot at it and Silver doubled over and screamed into the ground.

More shots rang out and Silver's ears rang, her head spinning as the pain spiked in time with the blasts. The pain seeming to have stopped for a small second before she got pushed into unconsciousness.

What she didn't manage to see was the other Princesses joining in to help. Finally arriving when realizing that no one was attacking their kingdoms even when all defences were down. Their aid helping greatly as Catra scowled in anger and Adora got her sword back. Turning the tides of the battle before them.

As they all worked together their magic grew, the Moonstone back to full capacity, creating a rainbow of color. Catra dead panning at the sparkly rainbow.
"Seriously?! " She shrieked as a wave came towards their squadron.
Meanwhile, Silver was also glowing. But she was surrounded by a golden Aura. Blades of grass and flowers spreading from beneath her and spreading slowly throughout the balcony.
As the Horde retreated, the Princesses celebrated together. Joining in a big hug, Angella wrapping them in her wings, then looked to the castle. Rushing to check on the magicat in question.

All the other princesses watched in confusion as Adora called to Swift Wind in just as much urgency. Glimmer teleporting Bow with her.

"I guess we'll walk then... " Mermista deadpanned.

Angella burst through the doors of Adora's room. The blonde detransformed as Swift Wind landed on the balcony, wincing at the pain in her back as it became more noticeable.

Adora saw Silver on the side and rushed to her, checking her pulse before sighing in relief.
"She's okay. " Angella sighed as she knelt by the feline, everyone soon arriving and gasping at the newly lawn covered area.

"She... Controls plants too?" Perfuma asked as Adora looked to the white dandelion next to her knee.
"No, She brings life. " Angella clarified as Adora lifted the silver-white haired magicat, carrying her back to the cot.

Adora was confused as she sat next to the woman. Really confused, as she recalled what LightHope told her.

"Mara defected, taking sides with a magicat by the name of Thalia who sought to destroy Etheria. That's why you, Adora, have to be be the one who makes the right choice and makes things right. Embrace your destiny and balance the planet. These magicat's are a dangerous race that will do anything to stop that. "

But Silver saved her, risked her life to save her at Princess Prom. She was connected to Etheria just like Angella said. She was in so much pain when the elements when out of balance. And her magic...
It was...beautiful.

So how could someone with the power to basically heal the planet, be that dangerous to it--

A constant snapping brought Adora out of her thoughts.
"Etheria to Adora. We need to get going. We've gotta cure our wounds and get back out there to help rebuild." Glimmer spoke, her hands on her hips. Adora simply nodded silently.

"I'll be with you guys in a minute. " Adora sighed and looked to the feline once again. Glimmer groaned and shooed the others out the door, Adora standing and walking to it. She stopped and looked back at Silver again. Her limp but breathing form, peacefully resting on her cot.
She pinched her eyebrows.

Something just wasn't adding up...
