"Hey, do you want to head outside with me?"

Her voice seemed so soft, so filled with care and curiosity. Her face seemed calmed, her eyebrows furrowed slightly from the pressure of having troubles with becoming She-Ra. Her eyes were a bright pale blue, like ice, but it gave off warmth instead of cold. Her soothing smile helped her eyes give off this special warmth.

My whole body seemed to relax. My knees no longer ached, sore muscles acted as though they never were worn. My hard stare softened at the sight.

I stood up to meet her face, well her collarbone really, and walked over to the bookshelf in the corner. I placed the now finished book inside and grabbed another unread one. I nodded at the title slightly before turning back to the taller.

My cold facade melted to a warm smile as I agreed to go outside.

With her.

We climbed down the back way and over to a little flat area, with green grass, purple rocks and slanted trees.

And also a horse.

The same horse that has traveled with us from Thaymor. He seemed quaint as he chewed on the growing green ground.

Adora was glad to see the horse, so much so, that she jogged over to give him a hug. Granted, she just wrapped her arms around his long neck with the sword still in her right hand, but it seemed like a cute reunion despite only being away from each other for an hour. "Horsey! Oh, this is much better. There's actually room to move around here."

I found a shady spot beneath a tree but atop a purple rock. It had a small patch of grass to give me some comfort from the hard surface. Seeing no dew on the plants, I sat down and opened the book.

"Ready to see something cool?" Adora took a deep breath with her eyes closed, before lifting the heavy stick into the air and saying, "For the Honor of Grayskull!"

A bright yellow light emitted, but nothing really happened. The horse didn't look amused as he twitched his left ear.

Adora, now noticing nothing has changed, decided "okay, let's try that again."

She repeated the phrase she used to transform.

And again nothing happened.

The horse turned his back to her and kept eating. She sighed and took a glance towards (Yn). Seeing the teen had her face in the maroon book, she turned back towards the turned away animal.

Adora continued to 'honor Grayskull' while doing different motions to see if it can be triggered by fighting or stabbing movements. She even tripped and the stick lodged itself into the ground. She went as far as whispering the phrase into the blue gem like she was whispering sweet nothings into a lovers ear. (Yep. That's all I could come up with.)

Adora finally laid down on the grass as she stared up at the sky. The pink robe was splayed open under her legs. Hearing the horse neigh, she looked over to see the animal wiggling on the ground, using the grass to scratch his back. "Oh come on! Glimmer's counting on me. Don't leave me hanging here."

She basically begged the sword to work as she stood up and pointed to sword into the sky once again. "For the Honor of Grayskull!"

A crackling light appeared, and finally catching the bookworm's attention.

Before a bright beam shot out, ricocheting of trees and rocks before hitting the horse. "Horsey, no!"

"Adora, move!" The (ec) eyed girl ran, book left behind, forgotten, and pulled on the pink cloak, forcing the tree of a teen to stumble back slightly.
