The next day we're all in the meeting room, coming up with many plans to benefit from. I was absentmindedly listening to what Queen Angella was saying.

"Council, we're looking for plans to strengthen our defenses against the Horde. Who would like to go first?" I blow some air out, leaning back and crossing my arms.

'I have a feeling that Glimmer might have something...' On cue, her hand raises. "Me, me, me. Me. Me, me." I stifle a laugh when her mother sighs, answering, "Anyone besides Glimmer?"

She pouts, but gets up anyways. "Mom- your majesty, I do indeed have a plan." Angella looks at her. "Then what do you propose then?"

She summons a hologram of Etheria, making me shocked. Obviously I have never seen anything like it, besides the warning about the comet on Mako.

"Any ships traveling through Etheria has to go through the Sea Gate. It's controlled by Princess Mermista, now that she's taken over. If we can manage to get her on the Rebellion's side, we might actually have an advantage."

Her mother looks at me, and I knew she was wanting my input too. "Sure, I'm with it." She then sighs. "Alright, but don't make me regret this."

Glimmer teleports, hugging her mother. I just force a smile. Water. My worst enemy, the one thing to reveal my secret.

"Ughhh, what're we doing here?" Entering a restaurant looking place, I see different entities everywhere. Adora answers me. "We need to find a captain to take us to the gate." Under my breath, I curse whoever made me end up here.

Adora leans on the counter, asking the person there, "Can you tell us where an experienced captain is?" They point in the direction of a table, making me dart my eyes over. We step around many tables, stopping.

The next things I block out weren't too interesting. Just something about an chaotic guy named Seahawk talking about how great he was, and blowing up ships? 

And somehow Adora got herself roped into a arm wrestling match, and I use my powers discreetly to make him lose.  As I predicted, he gives up, making us root for her. "Now will you help us?"

Imagine being beat secretly by a mermaid? However I nearly spot the same shadow looking thing watching us from the balcony. The eye narrows as I glare at it.

Whatever the heck it is, I had a bad feeling.

I look over the ship's edge. I really didn't want to get wet and grow a tail. The boys sing a shanty, making Glimmer and me scowl at them. And then a sea creature attack us, She-Ra going into the water to fight it.

My eyes narrow when she says that she got it. "Wait no, nevermind. Okay, now I did it." Coming back out of the water, I say to her. "Are you finally done playing around?" She trudges back onto the ship, and I back up from her.

Shaking the water off, I grimace. Thank Mako I didn't get revealed. We come across a giant gate made of water, our ship entering through.

Guards lead us to the throne room, and I take in the shell decorations. Stopping in front of the throne, Mermista says, "Uh, can I help you?" I answer her. "Princess, we are here for help with the Rebellion."
