The friends visit Mystacor, a magical floating kingdom in the clouds, to take a mini vacation to distract the two girls.

But Skyelle meets the one who was watching her, who is very much interested in her. But who's behind that facade?

I hear a whisper. Cracking an eye open, my friends are sleeping side by side. But I see Adora getting up as well. I tiptoe to her. "You heard it too?" She nods.

"I don't know who was talking though-" Getting cut off, "Adora." Her eyes widen. "No, that can't be-" I tilt my head. "Are you okay?" Ignoring me, she walks away to stare into the forest, like she was seeing something.

Until our other friends wake up. "Good morning Glimmer. And Skyelle." I nod to him. Glimmer waves the air. "No. Five more minutes." 

I block out what was said next, thinking about what could be bothering her. "Right guys?" My eyes look over. "Hmm?" Sighing, Glimmer teleports over to us.

"Adora! Didn't you get any sleep?" She gasps. "Sorry, too early to teleport." I ask her, "What are you doing?" Genuinely concerned for my friend.

"Well someone's got to stay guard." That's not what I meant. I wondered why that unfamiliar voice bothers her. A past memory?

"Look, I know that Entrapta's corrupted bots got to you two. That's why we should go on a vacation to Mystacor." Bow looks excited. "Mystacor? No way!"

We both look confused. "What's Mystacor?" Glimmer explains. "It's like a magical floating kingdom full of sorcerers. My aunt lives there." My eyes light up. That sounds epic. "Well, what're we waiting for?"

Walking to an island, they jump down, yelling in excitement. "Guys!" Me and Adora reach over the edge. A floating piece of land comes up.

"C'mon! It's perfectly safe." My eyes look down. Grabbing my hand, we jump on. "Ahh!" Making it onto the grass. "Uh God. I hated that." We start floating away. However that all too familiar shadow catches my eye. 

Adora notices it too. "You see that?" She whispers to not get our friends attention. "Yeah." Looking back at the front. "Let's just make sure nothing happens then..."

Huh? Is that thing bad? I recalled it from before. Like it was almost... watching me. Let's just hope that it'll be gone eventually.

Eventually we make our way to a castle. I gape at the size of it. A woman approaches us. "Glimmer! I see that you came to visit. Oh, and you brought your friends?"

She greets us. "Castaspella. And you are?" Adora smiles nervously. "I'm Adora, and this is Skyelle." I wave sheepishly. "Hi." She walks back to her niece. 

"How long are you staying?" She smiles. "Just for a bit. Why?" Her aunt gasps. "You're new friends haven't been here before? First we should take a tour."

"Uhm, that's okay-" I stop her and stare at her aunt. "Oh c'mon, it's fun learning about new places." She glares at me. Her aunt laughs. "I love this one. Let's go on that tour then, shall we?"

Walking through the hall, we see different statues. "Who are they?" Castaspella explains, "Different sorcerers from Mystacor. Some are still around, some are not." We pass a specific one.
