    Summary

    It's not the first time they find themselves like this: Catra on the ground, Adora standing above her, the tip of her sword dangerously close to Catra’s throat. Catra thinks she prefers it when Adora kills her without hesitation. But lately, Adora’s been slower to strike her. Catra can't figure out why.

    "Why hesitate?" Catra asks. "I mean, you can't kill me. Not for good. What's stopping you, Adora?"

    Adora doesn't answer her, just stares at Catra with those piercingly beautiful eyes of hers, as if she looks hard enough, Catra will surrender.

    But Catra won't. She lost count of how many times they've killed each other a long time ago, and she's not going to go soft now, not after Dryl has held their ground against Eternia, not when they're this close to finally defeating the Eternians for good.

    Summary

    Adora and Catra were childhood best friends and apprentices to Shadow Weaver, the most powerful Wizard in the Kingdom. When they were 16, she revealed that she had been training them to fight each other, as she only required one successor. A magical fight to the death, taking place on the Winter Solstice. Although Shadow Weaver is long gone, the curse she placed on them mandates that they duel each year until the oath they swore has been fulfilled. This is the fifth such year.

    Summary

    Adora sympathizes with Man-At-Arms' obvious distress. He tugs at the corner of his graying mustache. "So the entirety of your plan—that is, the way you mean to save the king of Eternia and defeat an evil sorcerer with an ancient staff of untold magical power—is to go to his ship and, 'Talk him down or punch him out?'"

    Glimmer grimaces.

    Catra smirks.

    Bow rubs the back of his head, then smiles. "You're not very familiar with how we do things, are you?"

    Summary

    Adora’s eyes fly open. And there, standing beside Adora’s bed, is Catra. She is dressed the same as before—still clad in that dark evening gown, her delicate figure framed against the moonlight spilling between the curtains.

    Catra watches Adora with unmistakable amusement. A smirk spreads across her lips, revealing a pair of white glistening fangs—each one tapered to a deadly tip.

    (In other words, former lovers Adora and Catra reunite after many years apart, only to discover that Catra is now a vampire—and Adora is a vampire hunter. Can they still find love despite their differences?)
