Etheria's War

A New Queen

"Your Majesty." Said a guard walking up to us.

"What is it?" I asked.

Then the guard started to glow.

They changed into a green monster with yellow eyes.

A shape shifter.

"I'm actually not a guard." They said. "I am Double Trouble. But do not fear my abilities, I want to use them to help you, Your Highness."

Double Trouble kneeled.

"I want to be accepted into your army." They said. "I will beat up many Horde Soldiers, Good Queen."

"Glimmer." Said Adora, walking closer to me. "I think we should let them in. They can help us infiltrate the enemy lines."

"I don't know." I said.

I turned to Shadow Weaver.

"What do you think?" I asked her.

"Glimmer, what are you doing?" Adora asked.

I put my hand in the air to stop her.

Shadow Weaver walked over to Double Trouble.

"On your feet." She demanded.

Double Trouble stood up.

"Are you a man or a woman?" Asked Shadow Weaver.

"Miss?" Asked Double Trouble.

"Your gender?" Asked Shadow Weaver.

"I-I-I am a nonbinary." Said Double Trouble. "I am neither a boy or a girl."

Shadow scoffed then turned to me.

"They can't be trusted." Said Shadow Weaver, coldly.

"What?" Asked Adora. "They identify as nonbinary if they want to."

"It's not only that." Said Shadow Weaver. "They're a Shape Shifter. Their name is "Double Trouble" not "Double Good." They also might be working with Catra."

I nodded.

I walked over to Double Trouble.

"I must take the word of my second in command." I said.

"But, Glimmer-" Said Adora.

"Your opinion doesn't matter, Adora." I said, glaring at a sad looking Adora.

I turned back to Double Trouble.

"I'm sorry, My Friend." I said. "We cannot have you."

Double Trouble started sobbing.

Then I started walking into the castle, Shadow Weaver following close by.

"You are wrong, Glimmer!" Yelled Double Trouble. "I could've helped you! You are wrong!"

Adora's POV

I was left in the garden with a sobbing Double Trouble.

They only wanted to help.

I put my hand on their shoulder.

"I'm sorry." I apologized. "Glimmer isn't herself right now. I know you only want to help. Shadow Weaver had no right to say those horrible things."

"I'm not upset with you." Said Double Trouble. "You actually wanted to help me get into the army. It's the Queen I'm mad at."

I sighed.

"I truly appreciate that you wanted to help us." I said.

"Thank you." Said Double Trouble.

Then Double Trouble started walking away.

"Wait, Double Trouble, where are you going to go." I asked.

"The Crimson Waste." They sighed. "It's where monsters like me belong."

"You're not a monster." I said.

"I know and you know." They said. "But hate hurts less there, when everyone hates each other the same."

Then they walked away completely.

What has Glimmer become?
