The Origin of Grayskull / The first Shera

Chapter I

It was early in the morning in Brightmoon. The sun just started to rise, Adora and Catra were snuggling in bed, sleeping safe and sound until a voice echoed from the walls of Brightmoon's castle.

" GET UP GET UP. IT'S TIME FOR CLEANING THE CASTLE."

"Ugggggh!", Catra grunted, while pressing her face into her pillow.
Adora didn't even wake up from the noise. She was still dreaming about flying through whispering woods with Swiftwind, finding a group of other horses.
"I'm sheraaaa..... let's go horseys .....", she mumbled.
All of a sudden the door swung open.
Catra jumped up straight, claws out, ready to fight the danger that was awaiting her in the door. The danger was Glimmer equipped with a broom. Catra grunted and laid back down to keep sleeping.
"Guys, I told you days ago to be prepared to help cleaning the castle. It's almost spring, the next prom is awaiting so we need to prepare. "
Adora opened her eyes, jawning und scratching her head.
"What is this unpleasant noise, I had such a nice dream."
She rubbed her eyes and her vision became sharp. The blurryness disappeared and a red headed Glimmer appeared, who looked at her with a mad expression.
"What's wrong Glimmer. Everything alright ? Are you here because if that annoying screaming in the castle?"
Adora yawned.
"Excuse you ?", Glimmer said, " Didn't know my voice is that annoying to you. But since you two don't want to get up, I just assume none of you want to participate in Brightmoon's prom nor eat the cake Bow is preparing. As the Queen of Brightmoon I will gladly exclude you then, because if you don't want to help you cannot expect to be rewarded."
It was Brightmoon's turn this year to host the prom. Adora was so excited to go, as Bow is amazing at baking... oh and of course she wanted to go because she already chose a really nice dress to surprise Catra with.
" Noooo Glimmer pleasee, I'll get up and I'm sorry. We'll be there in 5 minutes!"
" I hope you are talking about yourself, cause I'll keep sleeping.", Catra mumbled from under the blankets.
" If you don't get up you can sleep on the couch. There's no way I will miss Bow's cake.....I mean going to prom with my amazing girlfriend!", Adora smiled.
"Nice save.", Catra grinned, "Luckily I love you, so let's get this over with."
Catra sat up again, stretching her body and giving Adora a kiss on the forehead.
"Let's go shera the horsey lady."
" Funny that you say that, cause I had a dream about...."
" I know.", Catra looked at adora mimicking her sleeping, "Horseeeeys!"
Adora turned red.
"It's cute.", Catra said, patting Adora's head.
" Now let's go before that angry volcano comes for us and explodes."

Adora and Catra got dressed and went to get breakfast. While they were eating, Glimmer entered the room with a checklist.
"So, since Swiftwind is your horse Adora, I would like you two to clean his stall as well as the garden. He ate some of our flowers even tho I told him like a million times not to. So I have some seeds and some garden gear. Maybe you can use some of your magic to help them grow a bit faster."
"Why am I being punished for Adora's horse.", Catra asked with an annoying expression in her face.
"Well if you'd prefer you can clean the toilets.", Glimmer explained with a smirk on her face.
Catra sat up straight.
" Where are the seeds ?"; she asked while smiling at Glimmer.
" Perfuma left me some yesterday. I'll bring them to you."
" Can't perfuma make the flowers grow, since she has the plant's power ?", Catra asked confused.
"No, she's on a short vacation with Scorpia. They will be back in two days, just in time for the prom in four days."
Catra rolled her eyes.
Without any more hesitations, Adora and Catra finished their breakfast and went on their way to Swiftwind's stall.

"Omg guys, you finally came to visit me ? It's been  some time!", Swiftwind shouted excitingly.
"Uhhh... sure and we also came to clean your stall!", Adora quickly answered.
"Thank you so much, actually it's about time, my toilet area is overflowing." He turned his head into the back of the stall, where a strong smell came from.
Catra looked disgusted and quickly pointed at Adora.
"Your horse. Your horse toilet."
Adora tried her best to use puppy eyes on her girlfriend.
" That usually works, but not in this case Adora. I'll clean the front, you can go to the back. No discussion."
Adora looked defeated.
"Shit."
The two started cleaning the stall. Catra brushed away the hay, Adora shoveled the poop with a clip on her nose.
All of a sudden, Catra found something in Swiftwind's hay bed.
"Hey, Adora, come here real quick."
"What is it?", Adora answered with a nasal voice, as the clip was still on her nose.
"I found something."
Adora went to her girlfriend, who pointed at something in the hay.
"Looks like a book.", Catra said.
Adora crouched and cleaned the rest of the hay that was laying on the book.
"It sure is. It says something on the cover."
She picked up the book and went back up, now standing next to Catra. She blowed the dust from the cover to read what it says.
" The Origin of Grayskull."
