"Wait, hold on," Bow stopped the conversation, "Where have you two been this whole time again?"
...
They were standing around a fire rune to help keep everyone warm, thanks to Y/N.
The Ranger still held a glare towards Shadow Weaver as she went on to explain.
"While you were traipsing around in space, some of us have been working to stop the Heart of Etheria from falling into Prime's hands."
...
"And we discovered the same thing you did. Rumors of a Failsafe that will break the restraints the First Ones built and set the stolen magic free."
Adora's eyes slightly widened at this realization, and Glimmer was having none of Shadow Weaver's nonsense.
"Are you kidding!? After everything that happened last time, you're still going after the Heart of Etheria? And YOU'RE helping her!?" She aimed her grievance at Casta.
...
Casta approached Glimmer, trying to give her reasoning, "We're trying to free the magic for all of Etheria so we can be strong enough to fight Prime."
"I'm doing this for your father, and for you. Shadow Weaver is the lesser of two evils," she had her hands on her niece's shoulders.
"Well at least you admit that," Y/N pitched in, their foot impatiently tapping on the ground with their arms crossed defensively.
...
...
Before anything else could be said, considering Shadow Weaver looked as if she was going to respond, Adora gently put a hand on their shoulder.
The Ranger fell silent and Adora would pick up the conversation, "Tell us everything you know about the Failsafe. What makes you think it's in Mystacor?"
I don't like this...
Not one bit.
...
Especially after what happened after getting back from the Fright Zone...
...
...
Shadow Weaver would start explaining, "As any good sorcerer knows, Mystacor was built on the ruins of an ancient First Ones citadel. And beneath Mystacor-"
"Ooh! Ooh! Can I tell this part?" Casta seemed eager to tell the backstory.
Thouvh reluctant, the sorceress replied with a sigh, "Go ahead..."
...
"Beneath Mystacor, there are many secret tunnels and rooms, forgotten and sealed off," Casta went on, albeit slowly to be melodramatic with the storytelling.
"No one has been able to access them in centuries, but there are whispers of what they contain-"
"An artifact known as the Crystal of Arxia, hidden there by a group of traitorous First Ones," Shadow Weaver cut her off.
"You said I could do it!"
"You were taking too long..."
...
...
"Arxia. That must be the outpost that Mara's rebels were talking about! The Failsafe might be underneath Mystacor!" Bow realized.
