As the full moon drew nearer, the worse Catra felt.
Any day now, she would be told the news of Amatos nearing death.
It drove Adora mad, seeing her beloved so down.
But later that day, Catra would be granted the power of the triple runestones.
The magicat princess was terrified.
For good reason, as she remembered how corrupted Shadow Weaver had become when granted the power of the black garnet.
Catra woke to someone messing with her hair.
‘Hey!!’ She spat and hissed.
‘Oh moros! I thought you would end up missing the ceremony’ C'yra teased.
‘Oh shut it, would you’ She muttered.
‘Rude much?’
‘I wonder where I get it from.’
‘Hmm….Maybe Amato? Nah hes too humorous. Ooh! Maybe Naeva!’
‘….’
‘What?’
‘Are you really that misunderstanding?’
-----------
‘Naeva? I heard some interesting information earlier.’ C'yra says as she enters the dungeon foyer three hours later.
‘We found wounded horde soldiers washed up on the beach of Sorrows. Their incredibly loyal, so I've heard from Anu’ Naeva shoots back with a pointed glare.
‘Names? Physical descriptions?’
‘One is the princess of Scoepiand and the other of a remote kingdom.’
‘Names?’
‘Princess Scorpia and Princess entrapta'
‘Did they say anything of interest?’
‘Well, when Catra texted me to get her an ice cream and I told anu to do it in my place, they seemed significantly happier when Catra was mentioned.’
‘So she must know them. Naeva, get her for me, she will know what to do. If she trusts them, then perhaps they can help with the celebrations tonight.’
‘Ugh fine'
‘Would you rather be executed?’
‘Ugh…I am way to sober for this' Naeva mutters as she disappears around the corner.
C'yra cocked a brow in an almost motherly way.
‘Naeva, you better not be drinking' She sang.
‘Oh never, you ceramic butterfly’ she heard the young guards voice reply in the distance.She
She snorted and went to find which cell these prisoners were in.
------------
‘I just realised I never asked ‘ Catra said as she closed her bedroom door behind her. ‘But why do you only ever mention your little brother and your father when you talk about your family?’
‘Oh…’ Naeva paused. ‘My mum died in childbirth. When she had Anu. hes only fourteen. ‘
‘But hes a guard?!’
‘His age doesn't matter to C'yra because they don't put him out on the lines. He doesn't really do much guard work due to his youthfulness. I'm twenty one.’
Catra slowly nodded, but then she realised that they had arrived.
'Go on' Says Naeva. ‘You’re ex comrades, you talk’
