When He-ro and Her-ra's lives changed

## Part One: How it started

Unknown Girl's pov:
"Ederin!"

A woman with long auburn hair, and wears a mix between a warrior and a blue, white, and yellow falcon outfit complete with a matching falcon hood. Arrived in the palace garden where I was watching people hang up balloons and streamers that said "Welcome to the family" out of curiosity as she approached me with a calm yet happy expression on her face.

"Yes mom?" I asked in confusion, being certain that there's good news with how delighted my mother is.

"Great news Ederin, you're going to be a big sister!" My mother said in a delighted tone.

"Really!? Yay!" I hugged my mother's belly, thinking that she's pregnant.

"Actually Ederin, we're adopting a little boy who's 2 years younger than you ^^;" My mother said in an awkward tone while patting my head at the same time.

Still I'm glad that I'm going to be a big sister, so I asked my mother a lot of questions about my soon-to-be little brother.

From what I've heard, he was raised in a land without a name, and was raised by animals so he's not going to know how to act in public yet. After hearing that, I went with Duncan my adopted grandfather from my mother's side and the kingdom's engineer to the most popular toy shop to pick out a toy for my little brother.

At first I was about to get a deluxe teddy bear, but then I over heard Duncan saying to the cashier that apparently the boy that my mother and father are adopting was raised by a bearcat before she got killed saving the boy, after hearing that, I changed my mind and got the most beautiful bearcat toy I could find.

Grandpa Duncan was surprised with what I picked, but he bought the toy anyway since he figured that I overheard him telling someone about the boy's deceased 1st adopted mother as I was holding the bearcat toy with a sorry look on my face.

When we got back to the palace, I tried to wrap the teddy bearcat, but when I'm done, it was a complete mess of wrapping paper and ribbons. So Orko, the Kingdom's magician, decided to cast a spell to hopefully wrap the present beautifully. Of course it didn't work and he's the one who got wrapped up in a box instead. I honestly find that funny, and I laughed a little before opening up the box to get Orko out.

Then my mother showed up and told us that the adoption festival with start in an hour, so I quickly placed the bearcat toy in the newly made gift box. And rushed to the garden where the adoption party will take place with the present.

Unknown Boy's pov:

After I helped He-man drive skeletor of the forest I grew up in. He-man decided to adopt me since I don't know what had happened to my parents since I was stolen from them.

He then returned to Palace Eternos with me holding his hand, where apparently something called a festival will take place. I asked He-man, whose real name is Adam as he turns into his normal form, what a festival is.

"Well a festival is like a party that has a verity of themes and things to do."

That was what my soon-to-be adopted dad told me.

I was nervous to meet my new family, but I'm also excited since Adam was a brave and noble man.

When we arrived at the Palace's garden, a cheerful melody began to play, people dancing and performing acrobats or something like that. And everyone saying that it's nice to meet me.

I haven't felt this happy and excited ever before in my life. Then a woman with a blue, white, and yellow falcon feather clothes, and a wavy raven-haired girl who looks a bit older than me in a pink, white and black dress with a colorful box in her hand appeared.

"Dare, this is my wife Sorceress Teela, and my daughter, Ederin, they'll be your mother and older sister from now on."

My adopted dad introduced me to his wife and daughter. Then his daughter Ederin places the colorful box in my hands,

I opened it and inside was a smaller, unmoving, and completely soft version of the bearcat who raised me up until she gave up her life for me. I was about to get upset that my sister would give me something that resembles my dead 1st adopted mother. But before I could even raise my voice, my adopted mother places her hand on my shoulder, after that I calmed down, hugged the soft toy, and thanked my sister.

Ederin's pov:

I was nervous when Dare, my new little brother, looked upset when he received his present with a sad look in his eyes, but when my mother placed her hand on his shoulder and he thanked me for the present. I smiled.

After that, I heard someone saying, "There you are!" in a raspy voice coming from the sky. We looked up confused, and we saw a crow flying towards Dare, I was confused but then I heard Father said

"Thank goodness the bird is actually alive the whole time."

Dare's Pov

"Craven!" I yelled happily as my pet crow Craven, whom I thought was killed by skeletor, flew on top of my teddy bearcat unharmed. Turns out he had escaped just in time when Skeletor tried to blast him.

This increased my happiness even more for it turns out I still have my old friend and pet.

Both Ederin and Dare's pov:

This day is when our lives will change

## Part Two: A mentor and a new perspective of her

Dare's POV:

I was sleeping comfortably in my soft bed and woven blanket when a floating blue skinned wizard with pointy ears called Orko woke me up.

"Morning Dare!"

"Morning Orko"

"Your parents and sister are waiting for you in the palace dining hall, I'll take you there"

"Thanks Orko"

My stomach started to growl, then for some reason Orko decided to teleport us to the palace kitchen. Orko can float, but I can't so I landed on top of a rather big table.

After that, everyone at the table asked if I was okay in a shocked tone

Despite the long fall, I'm didn't take any damage. After landing, I laid my eyes on a beautiful white-haired girl. I looked at her for a bit.

"Dare! stop spacing out!" My pet crow Craven told me. Then I stopped starring.

Ederin's POV:

I got up after a long night's rest, Orko came by to my room to wake me up.

"Good morning Ederin."

"Good morning Orko"

"Your parents are waiting in the palace dining hall for you and Dare"

"Okay, I'll be there shortly"

Then Orko left my room. I got changed from my pj's to my normal clothes, and then I headed down to the palace kitchen. To my surprise, not only is my parents there, but also one of my best friends.

I sat down and when a waiter just showed up to the table, Dare suddenly appeared in thin air and landed on the table. Orko's with him so he must've teleported Dare and himself to the palace dinning hall.

”Are you okay Dare!?” Me and everyone else asked

Thankfully Dare doesn't look hurt. though I think everyone could tell that he's falling for my friend as he was looking at her. Though he stopped when his pet crow told him to stop spacing out.

Dare's Pov:

"\*nervous chuckle\*"

"Oops, sorry about that Dare ^^;" Orko apologized to me.

”it’s alright, not the worst wound I had.” I replied

I got off the table and sat next to Ederin. Once I sat down and a chef laid down a bunch of food, my new grandpa Duncan introduced the beautiful girl to me.

"Prince Dare, this is my niece Kay-la, and she'll be teaching you about Princely duties and the art of warfare."

To my surprise, the girl apparently named Kay-la looked displeased after hearing that. I began to wonder if I looked messy and dirty and started to check my own appearance.

I even thought that I was too skinny, so I started eating a lot of meat to gain more muscle.

But then Kay-la said that she doesn't want to teach me, despite being glad to be serving something called a Eternian court, because I'm a snot nosed kid straight out of the woods.

That made me froze in shock. What's wrong with being raised in the woods? Especially since I'm a prince now.

Ederin's POV:

Once Dare chuckled, he got off the table, Oreo apologized to Dare for dropping Dare on the table, and Dare told him that it’s okay and that it’s not the worst wound he had. Just what is the worst wound he has!?

After that he sat next to me, and then Grandpa Duncan introduced Kay-la to him as his mentor.

At first I was happy for Kay-la and Dare since Kay-la is one of my best friends who taught some stuff, and she'll be teaching my little brother,

But then I noticed that Kay-la was making a disappointed face, apparently Dare saw that and started eating a lot of bacon and sausages for some reason. I think that was to gain more muscle.

But then Kay-la said

"I'm glad to be serving the Eternian court, but why do I have to teach a snot nosed kid straight out of the woods how to convert himself in public?"

That shook me, not once did Kay-la ever get angry with having to teach me something, even one time where I accidently spilled tea on her, she was annoyed but not angry.

"Kay-la that was rude, and we're sure that by teaching Dare, you'll improve as a person further, so give Dare a chance."

Dare's Pov:

Grandpa Duncan told Kay-la that refusing to teach me because I'm a kid that was raised in the woods was rude, and to give me a chance since it'll make Kay-la a better person.

I felt happier after hearing that, so I stopped eating, I got full from eating a lot of meat anyway. I'm sure that once Kay-la gets to know me, she'll like me.

Ederin's Pov:

Grandpa Duncan called of Kay-la for being rude to Dare just for being raised in the woods till now. It could be hard teaching someone who was raised in a forest, but that's still no good reason to refuse to teach someone.

I'm sure that Kay-la will like Dare after getting to know him, he's a good kid, why wouldn't anyone like him?

"Alright..." Kay-la responded

I felt relief after hearing that, she's giving Dare a chance.

"Be sure to not be hard on him if he were to make mistakes, they often happen."

My mother said to Kay-la

"Yes my queen" is what Ky-la responded with

Dare's Pov:

My mom told Kay-la not to be hard on me if I were to make mistakes since they often happen.

After we all finished eating, Dad told me:

"It's time to introduce you to the other new masters Dare."

Ederin's Pov:

After we all finished eating, Father told Dare that it's time to introduce him to the other masters.

Dare and Ederin's Pov:

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone

## Part Three: Introducing the Rest of the New Masters

Dare's Pov:

My family and I went to an area with a light purple floor, and something tall that is Magenta for some reason.

There I saw:

A big red snow man with limbs, black stripes and 2 black horns.
A man that is made of something blue and shining and has strange rectangle hands that has holes in them.
A man with upper armor that covers even the sides of his head, and legs that are different from the rest of his body
A white and green man
And finally, a man with a strange eye and jeweled shoulders (did something happened to his eye?) a woman with strange limbs (what happened to her?), and a girl with big yellow curly hair and is with an owl.

Ederin's Pov:

At the back yard, Air bag was blowing at tall weeds, Fork-lift was lifting up some training weapons, Ram-man II was stretching his legs, Man-E-Faces II is playing chess with Jewelstar with Tallstar and Starla cheering him on. I'm honestly surprised that Man-e-face II doesn't mind that no one is cheering him on, maybe because Tallstar and Starla are Jewelstar's sisters?

Dare looks super confused as he looks at them, I just hope that Dare doesn't say anything that'll hurt their feelings ^^;

Dare's Pov:

"Who are these people?" I asked my mom and dad

" They're the members of the new masters" My mom responded

I was confused as I haven't seen people like them before. But I didn't say a thing since I'm sure that there are more people like them outside of forest life.

\*ahem\* My dad said, and then the black striped, red snow man suddenly turned human shaped, the rectangle hand turned his head towards us, the head armored dude stopped stretching, and the green and white man and the man with the strange eyes stopped playing a board game and they and the two girls with them looked towards us.

"This boy here is Dare, he's the heir of the sword of power, please help him learn how to be a great man and protect him."

Ederin's Pov:

Thankfully Dare just asked mom and dad who the new masters are. And then Dad called for their attention, and then told them:

"This boy here is Dare, he's the heir of the sword of power, please help him learn how to be a great man and protect him."

Ram-man II and Man-E-faces bowed in agreement
Airbag started telling Dare that he doesn't have to worry with him around and told him about his abilities
Fork-lift put the training weapons down on a nearby bench
Jewelstar also bows in agreement, but his sisters look unsure and uncertain. Then again, they could be worried for their brother and that Dare could turn into someone unpleasant.

Dare's Pov:

After dad told them to protect me and help me learn how to be a great man, two of them bend forward, the rectangle hands guy put some weapons down on a bench, the guy with the strange eye also bends forward, though the 2 girls there look uninterested and scarred.

But that didn't compare to when the red slack stripped snowman with limbs walked up to me, and started telling me:

"You can always count on me in a pinch young prince! I, Air bag, can blow out harsh winds, put out fire, and knock over anything!" The red guy said

"Is that how you do not melt in the snow?" I asked

"What? what makes you think I'm a snow man?" The apparently not a snow man asked

"You look like a red snow man." I answered

"I am not a red snow man! Have you not seen what a snow man looks like?" Airbag asked

"I have, they just don't have legs nor black stripes." I answered, then I poked his stomach "Are you an actual balloon?" I asked

"No I'm not an actual balloon man-" Airbag answered but the rectangle hands guy rushed over to me and handed me a sword and a shield, and then handed another sword and shield to Kay-la.

How can he do that?

Ederin's Pov:

Airbag's not pleased that Dare called him a red snow man ^^; but then Dare asked him if he's a balloon man and poked his stomach, though before Airbag could finish answering, Fork-lift gave Dare and Kay-la training weapons. I get the feeling that it was to prevent Airbag from getting madder at Dare since Airbag doesn't like being called a balloon man.

"Dare this is Fork-lift, the men who bowed are Ram-man II, Man-E-Faces II, and Jewelstar. And the girls cheering on Jewelstar earlier are his sisters Tall star and Starla" Said Dad introducing them to Dare.

Dare's Pov:

Dad introduced them to me after I've taken a sword and shield from the rectangle hand man called Fork-lift.

I said hello to everyone after the introduction, though after that everyone for some reason looked shocked and Mom asked me to lower my voice down.

Ederin's Pov:

"HELLO EVERYBODY!!" Dare yelled after the introduction; we're all surprised to hear him shout so loud even though we're not that far away from each other ^^;

"Dare, can you lower down your voice when you're trying to say hello to everyone, please? Unless you're separated from them". Mom asked Dare

"Alright." Dare replied, this time in a calmer tone

"Alright kid, Fork-lift handing us weapons should be a sign that it's time for warfare training. After that, I have to teach you how to convert yourself in public -\_-" Kay-la told Dare.

Dare's Pov:

"O-okay" I said nervously, hopping that I could pass both lessons without having to hurt my love.

Ederin's Pov:

Kay-la told Dare that they'll train in warfare, after that she'll teach him who to convert himself in public in a disinterested tone.

Dare responded "okay" nervously.

Dare and Ederin's Pov:

I hope that I/He can handle the lessons
