The Princess of the Horde

Hi! I am "stricklerxbarbara" and this is my second blog, where I'll be posting my She-Ra story called "The Princess of the Horde" :3 /// I put Prime on the background bc why not :>

[stricklerxbarbara2]

Welcome!

Hi She Ra fans, this is my second blog and here I’ll be posting my story called “The Princess of the Horde”.

It hasn’t ended yet and I’m working on it since June :3

Introduction:

I’ll post it here because I don’t have an ao3 account 😭

I have a Wattpad account, but it’s a Spanish one because yes, I’m Spanish.

The reason why I’m posting the story here on Tumblr is that I’m going to translate all the chapters so you can read it in English 😊 

(don’t worry, I won’t use the google translator lmao, but ofc, please correct any mistakes that I have)

What’s it about:

This is the official description I put on Wattpad:

“ I live in the Horde’s flagship, in Horde Prime’s service, and I’m a clone. I’m just like all my brothers, but then, why am I a girl? “

Our main character is a female clone, the only one in the entire Horde. She is connected to the hive mind, she has no name or identity, she’s just like everybody else, but for some strange reason that I know, she was born as a female, and also she can think by herself (though Prime can still read her mind).

Through this book I’ll be telling her story, thoughts (it is narrated in first person, so I’m her 😎👌🏻), character development and her hard journey to happiness.

BUT, I want you to know that I’m NOT an expert at writing, I’m so bad at putting details, but I’m doing my best to improve 😊.

I think I’m better at writing emotions and developing characters, I’m sure you’ll love my baby girl’s character arc!! 😄

This is all, I hope you all like it 🥰

Fun fact:

I'm incredibly TIRED of calling the main character... well, I just said. With nicknames. She does get a name in the future, y'all don't know how much I want to reach that chapter because literally every time I do one of these posts I write her name and immediately say 'NOOPE, watch out, not yet'!

I mean, I published the original chapter last June, me and my Wattpad readers have been calling her by her NAME since then, and I really NEED to reach that damn chapter when she gets a name so I can FINALLY say it here on Tumblr OMG 😂

Chapter 2: Impact

-Here’s the second chapter, enjoy! ^^

Year 102, day 51

- You wanted to see me, Lord Prime?

I bow and ask him calmly. He is sitting on his throne, with one leg crossed over the other, as normal as always.

- That’s right, little sister. I’ve called you to give you new instructions. Set course to the planet 1327. It’s time to light up that place.

- As you wish, my lord.

I bow again and I leave to fulfill my new task, but our eyes meet for an instant. He looks at me differently than at my brothers. His gaze is most intimidating when he talks to me. I guess it will be for the simple fact of being me.

Over time I have come to realize that whatever I do, I am unique, being the only girl on this ship. My long white hair, my short stature compared to the other clones and my blue-green eyes, almost blue, plus the fact that I have pupils, give me away. 

I quickly fill my mind with thoughts related with my task, I’m still close to Horde Prime and most likely, he is reading my thoughts at this very moment.

Even though I’m different, I’ve learned to behave like the rest of the clones so that he does not suspect anything.

Some of my strategies are: keeping my mind busy like I’m doing right now, act like my brothers and always remain impasive.

When we destroy planets, as much as I am terified inside, from the outside I’m calm and my face does not reflect any emotion.

════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ════

After some hours, I can see the planet 1327 through the ship’s window, or Krytis, which I think that was its name, unless I’m mistaken.

One more planet will be destroyed.

It’s extremely horrible to see how Prime destroys all planets and all life forms in his path, but unfortunately I can't do anything about it. 

As we get closer, Prime sends some of my brothers to the surface of the planet, armed with cannons, ready to fight. I’d like to go with them, but not to fight or kill anyone, but simply to get out of the ship.

As all the clones are the same, we do not have a fixed task, but any of them can touch us each time. One day I take care of the kitchen, another day with the laboratory, another day escort Horde Prime, stand guard in the corridors...

All of my chores keep me busy, and I love going to the lab, but my favorite is by far being outside, even if it's to be on the battlefield.

════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ════

Once the war started, I was on one side of my leader's throne, staring in internal horror at the screen that showed the drones and androids attacking those poor people and that beautiful planet. But those people weren’t helpless. They were fighting relentlessly until a few minutes ago they smashed the androids' cameras, thus preventing us from monitoring them. Horde Prime has sent me to restore the cameras, and I have.

Now I am in one of the corridors, ready once more to accomplish my task. Meanwhile, I watch through the window how the fight is going. I see that our adversaries also have ships, and they are attacking ours in space.

Before I can react, its largest ship fires a huge fire missile that hits this ship, causing a huge explosion that catches me off guard.

Inevitably I am thrown against the wall, hitting my head, back and neck.

My ship is white, but the last I see is how everything goes black around me...

The tags I'm using for my story from now on are "the princess of the horde" and "tpoth", like the ones below :3

[stricklerxbarbara2]

I already have two followers, I won't say it's a big number but thank you so much for following the story since chapter 1, seriously, this means a lot to me :"3

I also wanted to say that I'll be posting incorrect quotes and Word Of God info about the story while publishing the chapters, since I don't know how to draw comics ;-;

[stricklerxbarbara2]

This is the cover I made in June for my story "The Princess of the Horde", how on Earth did I forget to post it before lol

"La Princesa de la Horda" is its title in Spanish :3

Yup it's the Horde flagship, from s3 ep6

Btw the first chapter is out ;)

Chapter 1: Different

Here’s the first chapter :3

I know, it’s very short, but it was my first one! I got better with time! 🙈

Year 67

I’m just one more.

A simple Horde soldier.

One more servant of Horde Prime.

A clone of himself, made genetically in his image.

One more simple clone, who was born to idolize Horde Prime.

...

Idolize is not the correct word. Prime is my god, the one I’m destined to praise and honor until the day I die.

But that idea does not convince me.

So I have been almost 7 decades. Yes, about 67 years. I always have been very detailed, I like to keep track of everything.

But I am not like them. My thousands of brothers. I’m different.

Mainly because I’m a girl, among other things.

But why?

That question always eats me inside.

I always try to think of an answer. 

Sometimes I even wonder if I really am a clone.

What am I saying? Of course I am! The first memory I have since I’m able to remember is me getting out of the cloning vitrine...

Right, I’m a clone.

- Sister. 

Mi brother’s voice takes me out of my thoughts, I turn around and I see it’s him. The brother who catches my attention the most, because he also has one defect. You just need to look at his dark blue hair. Maybe that’s why Prime chose him to be the Top General.

- Have you repaired the damaged spaceships from side B? - he asks me.

- Yes, brother. I have.

- Excellent.

After saying this, he leaves me back in the calculation room, alone with my thoughts. 

I take a look around the room. I might have done it a million times, but I’m so bored and I have nothing to do...

NO!

I mustn’t think of anything, Prime will se my thoughts and I’m not supposed to think by myself! I mustn’t have an identity!

Fastly I try to concentrate in my tasks.

Maybe that’s other reason why I’m different from my brothers.

I have an own personality. I’m connected to the hive mind, but it’s like I’m not controlled by Prime. I’m capable of thinking, my own thoughts; my brothers aren’t. They are his puppets, their slaves. I’d like to open their eyes and make them see that Horde Prime is not a good person, nor perfect. But it would be useless, they’d never listen.

I’m already overthinking... Prime better not see that last thing or he’ll send me directly to be reconditioned.

Reconditioning process...

I have witnessed it so many times, with my brothers who want to ‘stop suffering’. It’s just... horrible. How can they think that process will make them feel better?

Well, I actually understand, it’s because of the chips on our necks. But then, why do I have a different opinion?

And back to the same question. The one that probably will never have an answer.

I need answers, and I also need... company. 

I feel completely alone. And scared. Being the only one with a conscience on the ship, I grew up in fear that Prime will do something to me. Something bad. Something like... being reconditioned, or something worse, if it’s possible.

To make things worse, I’ve never had support from anyone.

I really hope I can escape from this hell someday...
