   Summary

   After the final battle, no time can be wasted as Etheria tries to recover what's left in the aftermath. Adora is left with a haunting feeling that the fight cannot truly be over, and must face trials in wake of her initial victory. But with magic, love, friendship, and hope, even the most difficult challenges can be met; even one as daunting as the one they all now face together...

   Alternate summary: Catra had needed to let herself feel wanted. Adora had needed to let herself want.
