A Daughter Reunited At Last
“Adam?”
Adora looked at the woman in confusion.
“Who the heck is Adam?”
The woman looked over at Teela who somberly shook her head.
“Evil-Lyn, this is Adora. Her and her friends need supplies.
The woman put her scepter away and rolled her eyes, walking up to them placing a hand on her hip eyeing her up and down before turning back to Teela and Zodak.
“Where you followed?”
“No.” Zodak scoffed, pushing past her roughly, heading to a caveon the other side of the room.
Evil-Lyn glared at him for a second and turned back to Teela gesturing to Adora.
Teela sighed.
“Her and her friends need supplies. Then they’ll be on their way.”
Evil-Lyn mumbles something under her breath before leading them to campfire with a couple others huddled around it.
A man with a bee like appearance gave Adora and her friends dirty looks before going back and polishing his weapon, another man decked out in armor gave them a curt nod before going back to repairing his prosthetic arm, while a man covered in reddish brown fur growled at them but stopped when Evil-Lyn smacked him upside the head giving him a warning glare.
Adora leaned to Bow and Glimmer.
“I bet you guys wished you hadn't followed me now, huh?” she joked tring to lighten the mood as she recalled Bow and Glimmer streaming as they slid down to get to her. Only to be held at gunpoint by Teela and Zodak like she had.
Glimmer nodded letting out a nervous chuckle as the people around them shot daggers at them.
Bow finally cracked. Standing up abruptly.
“Okay! Will someone please tell me what is going on! What is up with you people!” Glimmer quickly pulled him back down and tried to play it off when the strange group rolled their eyes. One member was about to say something when Zodak came back with two men standing behind him.
One looked like a king, his dark brown hair combed neatly as he stood up straight and an aura of authority around him. His robes were in tatters, but that didn't stop him from giving off an appearance of strength and importance. But he was kind. His dark brown eyes held warmth and love.
But at the same time he was sad. Almost as if he was in mourning.
The other.
Was different. Like the other he also screamed importance, but it seemed less friendly. His face was in shadows from his dark purple cloak. He wore no shirt but his chest was covered in an “X” made of chains, with a skull and crossbones in the center. He held a staff with a ram’s skull head at the top.
Adora could tell thim man had suffered in his life.
His hands were boney. His dark blue skin was covered in scars. Most faded over time but still visible. His eyes were glowing. A deep powerful ruby red that seemed to look into Adora’s soul.
Adora felt like this man like Catra and herself was hurt. Many, many times by people he trusted.
Maybe even loved.
But like Catra he finally snapped. Violently. This was someone that held vengeance in their heart. It fueled them. Kept them alive. Made them who they are.
The men stared at Adora. The blue one pulled back his hood to reveal he had no face.
Only a skull that that floated above where his neck once was.
The other man paused. Tears began to spill over his eyes. He finally shook off his shock as he looked at Adora. Running up to her and pulling into a strong hug.
Adora didn't know why. But she felt safe in his arms. Like he was someone she knew long ago.
He pulled back running his hands on top of her hair to soon cup her face and tilted her chin up as he looked at her. The man was crying know. He knew he couldent stop the tears anymore .
“Adora.”
Adora felt something tug at her heart.
She knew who this man was now as he pulled her into another firn hug as he sobbed.
Her own tears were falling now as she hugged him in return as she finally choked out through her tear filled voice.
“Dad.”
