[It's not audio this time. It's a video--a platform. It's early enough in the morning that it's still dark in the north, but the lanterns keep it lit enough to be visible. The fae king sits high on a throne, watching the proceedings.
Fuu at the back of the platform, shackled. And Adora at the front. Neither looks... good. Exhausted, dazed, weak.
Adora is just left to stare, quietly, at a literal chopping block as the Chancellor reads her crimes.
Oh this is bad. Nia tugs on Ranma's sleeve. They don't want to see this, they have to look away, get away. It isn't fair at all to make them watch this.]
[Nia is desperate to get Ranma out, to make sure Catra doesn't come anywhere near.
Adora kneels, at least she's going to die with dignity? She's not going to be forced to do anything. Fuu clasps her hands to her chest, her eyes closed tightly, praying more fervently than she ever has--
As the axe comes down, there's a blast of wind knocking everyone but the girls aside. Adora looks baffled, and Fuu rushes forward, tugging her up and telling her to run. Shackles be damned, they're going to try.
They're already out of sight by the time the fae have recovered, and orders are barked to shoot-- Arrows volley in the path that they went.
The king looks angrier than he ever has. He growls to the Chancellor to follow the blood trail, they won't get far.
And Fuu and Adora are alone and escaped in the North.]
[They're going to lose her. Fuu. Adora. Their mind. Its all going to fall to pieces.
But then... but then...
A miracle.
The energy returns quickly. Making sure the fae can't hear, Ranma orders someone to send a pigeon to the North- the queen and the princess have escaped and they need to get troops to assist immediately.]
[Nia will do everything in their power to help Kaori--she's sure, she's absolutely certain, they'll get home safely.
It'll take a few days for anyone to truly pinpoint Adora and Fuu. They've had to stop--hiding as best they can in the underbrush.
Fuu was struck in the side by an arrow. She used her old medical training to not bleed out, but, Adora explains to the first person who finds them in a panic--]
I think it's poisoned. Or magic or something. She's sick and she keeps getting worse...
[Goodness... the knight who finds them will ensure the queen and the princess are safely situation on horses, setting up an emergency run to the main squadron.
[Ranma bursts into tears instantly. The strong, noble facade vanishing within seconds. Adora's definitely never seen them like this, but they're gonna be crying over the both of them.]
[They panic again but they're quick to take charge once they're sure she's alive. Ranma directs the medics to set up a space for Fuu and Adora both, a place to recover and cope.]

But all that they can manage is complete and total hopelessness. Staring at the feed in just devastated horror.]

They like the idea of Fuu and Adora alone up there even more.
They make some arrangements to have an actual adult organizing things and keeping people safe, but they'll head on out on the journey as well.]

The moment she’s safe with Ranma again, Fuu is asleep. She’s been soothed. Fever aside, she feels like she can truly rest again. ]
