A storm brews, wind blows and lightning crashes outside of the Bright Moon Castle.

Inside the castle, fire crackles in the hearth as all the princesses, Bow, and Flutterina sit around a table. Glimmer stands in front of the fire and turns to us.

Glimmer inhales deeply before finally breaking the tension,
"I called you all here to discuss what happened today. The mission to retake Dryl was a complete disaster. We barely made it out."

Her tone shifts to an angry one,
"I wanna know why."

Bow starts explaining what happened,
"The Horde knew we were coming, they were ready for us. How do they keep doing this? We thought they were tracking Adora or Y/N, but they weren't even there today!"

Mermista snickers,
"Isn't it obvious?"

She slams her hands down on tge table.

"There's a Horde spy somewhere in Bright Moon." lightning crashes.

"...And no one is going anywhere until we figure out who it is." lightning crashes yet again.

"Mermista..." Glimmer chuckles nervously,
"it's very unlikely that there's a spy--"

The sea princess cuts her off,
"We need to investigate. Obviously, I'll be the lead detective since I've read every single Mer-Mystery book."

Adora's eyes widen and she asks, "Mer-what?"

"I second that." I add.

Mermista angrily, yet enthusiastically answers,
"Mer-Mystery! It's only the best undersea novel series ever, there's, like, 18 of them, it taught me everything I need to know about solving mysteries."

In a gruff voice she states
"Murder mysteries!" Sea Hawk falls over, he grunts in surprise and pain.

Perfuma joins the conversation nervously,
"Um...but no one's been murdered..."

Mermista shouts,
"YET!" Frosta gasps at Mermista appearing suddenly next to Perfuma, as she does, the plant lady shouts in surprise.

"Well if the books are about being detective and shit, I'm assuming we need to question the suspects?" I suggest.

"You're spot on!" Mermista enthusiastically replies.

Frosta curiously asks,
"Who are the suspects?"

Mermista, as lightning crashes on the first word, speaks,
"Everyone"

She lowers her to tone to a whisper,
"is a suspect."

Bow anxiously looks around at us,
"Everyone?" his voice cracks.

"Is anyone else sweating? I'm sweating!"

The queen rolls her eyes,
"This is a waste of time. We know that the Horde is pulling their troops back to prepare for something big. That's what we should be investigating."

"No, Mermista's right. And, we know it can't be us the Horde's tracking since" Adora chuckles humorlessly, o"nce again, you used us as a distraction today. "

She takes a sharp intake of breath before speaking again,
"...A spy is really the only thing that makes sense."

"Maybe they didn't fall for the distraction because you're a bad actress. And who would the spy even be, anyway?"

The blonde beside me chuckles humorlessly right before she speaks,
"How about the Horde officer who's living at--" her tone feigns to an apologetic one,
"I'm sorry--being held prisoner, at Bright Moon?"
