[Catra POV]
I can't believe that it's all really, finally, over. Horde Prime is gone, and he's not coming back. No one else can get hurt, and Adora is safe. I smile to myself, and repeat that thought. 'Adora is safe.' I look over to her now, grinning that dumb little grin of hers. People are surrounding her, members of the Rebellion I think, and they're thanking her for saving them, for saving Etheria.
"It wasn't all on me." I hear her say.
"You opened your heart up, didn't you?" A voice asks behind me. I jump back a little, my claws sharpened for an attack, but it is only the Flower Princess behind me. My claws retract. I really need to get a grip on that particular habit. The Flower Princess, Perfuma, holds her hands out to calm me.
"I'm sorry that I startled you." She says, as I sigh.
"It's okay." I respond, as Melog comes over to us, and after I rub her head, she sits on the grass. I join her, taking in the cooling sensation. Perfuma sits with me, as I continue to stroke Melog.
"You're right, by the way." I admit. "I did open my heart." Perfuma smiles.
"I can tell. Not only did you open it, but you believed in it too. That's an incredible strength, Catra." She tells me. I smile a little, giving a 'hmph' noise.
"I had to believe in it though. Adora always believes in hers. After everything she's done for me, everything she's given me, I wanted to show her that it wasn't all in vain. I wanted to show her that..." I trail off, noticing the shining look in Perfuma's eyes.
"I believed in Adora's heart too." I finish, but Perfuma continues to regard me with her shiny eyes.
"What?" I ask, slightly annoyed. Perfuma giggles.
"You love her, don't you?" She asks. I go to defend myself, before realising that it is pointless now.
"She's Adora, everyone loves her." I state.
"Not in the way that you do, though. I see the way you look at each other. Plus, I hear you jumped into fire for her." Perfuma expands her hands, a giddy expression on her face. I pout.
"Nobody's going to let me live that down, are they?" I grumble. Before Perfuma can offer me a response, a blonde girl plonks herself down on the grass in front of us. Her bluebell eyes catch the sun, and they flash with magic, as they had done on Krytis when meeting Melog, and as they had done on her ship, when she was trying to connect with She-Ra. Despite having seen this before, I'm suddenly rendered speechless.
"Hey Perfuma! Come and look at this!" A voice calls, one that I'd recognise anywhere; Scorpia. Perfuma smiles over at Scorpia, who waves to both myself and Adora. I tentatively wave back, whilst Adora grins and waves. Upon me trying to apologise to her, she'd just picked me up and hugged me, so I hoped that meant I was forgiven, but I still have a deep guilt for what happened between us.
Perfuma stands, a smile still on her face.
"I'll leave you two to talk." She says, referencing between me and Adora, before taking her leave. Adora nudges my shoulder.
"Glimmer wants to know if you'd like to move into Bright Moon with us." She tells me.
"Really?"
"Yeah." Adora responds, her goofy grin on her face again. I can tell she likes the idea, and if I'm being honest, I kind of like it too. Bright Moon's really...well, bright, but I think I could get used to it with Adora. I go to respond, when Adora's smile falters, almost as if she is recollecting a hurtful memory. She looks over in the distance.
