A tight feeling swirled around Catra's stomach as she reached out a hand tentatively; pausing for a moment and looking up at the sorceress before closing the distance and taking it carefully from her hand.

Ignoring the feeling in her gut, she looked down at the object that now rested in her own hand. It shone brightly in the glow of the runestone, so small yet so full of power; promising her everything she could ever want. So this little thing was the answer to all of her problems, huh? With She-ra out of the way, Adora would be no problem for her. She'd always been stronger than Adora had given her credit for, and now it was finally time to show her that Catra was more than just her lowly sidekick. She would rule the world on her own.

Now that Shadow Weaver finally saw her for what she was, she could use the sorceress's knowledge and power to gain more of her own. Things were finally coming together. If only Adora had left sooner.

"And Hordak? How do I deal with him?"
