Shadow Weaver chuckled, turning to face Catra and shaking her head.
"I failed? I'm afraid you've missed the bigger picture. At the beginning to the war, I was at Mystacor. We were allied with the Rebellion. I was willing to do what was necessary to stop Hordak, but the Rebellion were afraid of it. Too soft for it. They feared the power I wanted to harness to do it, and they cast me aside for it. And so, I offered that power to Hordak instead. I assume you feel much as I did. Scorned. Misunderstood. Willing to do what it takes to take down those who have betrayed you..." she took a step toward Catra.
"I came to Hordak and offered my services because I had the means to take down the Rebellion. I never said I was interested in doing it myself, with my own two hands. Far too messy for me. I prefer a less...involved role." She gestured around her at the black garnet chamber. "If I had ever had any desire to usurp Hordak, I would have. I've always had the means to do so. And now, I can offer those means to you. I know Adora has hurt you. You would do anything to make her pay, and that pain, that resentment... that hate. It makes you stronger. Hordak does what he does out of habit. It is in his nature, like an animal does what it is born to do and then dies. His lack of drive and unwillingness to go far enough to win has made him obsolete. And now you are poised to have his power for yourself, if you are only willing to take it."
