3	Right after the downfall of the Horned King, Taran and his friends are travelling back to Caer Dallben. They stop to rest at a beautiful glade. A portal appears out of thin air, and Eilonwy starts to approach it, as if she were entranced. Before Taran and the others can follow her, they're attacked by four of the Horned King's soldiers, but two hooded strangers rush to their aid. As the fight goes on, Eilonwy enters the portal and finds herself in a shared universe where a mysterious voice asks her to join in an interdimensional group as the representative of her own world.

5	!!This one-shot provides examples of:
6
7	* AlliterativeTitle: ''The '''G'''reen '''G'''lade''.
8	* AndTheAdventureContinues: The Horned King is gone and the heroes -- now accompanied by Coll and [[spoiler:Prince Gwydion, the last member of Prydain's usurped royal family]] -- continue returning to Caer Dallben. However, Dallben learns through Hen Wen that Arawn has somehow been freed from the Black Cauldron in the marshes of Morva, and the voice warns Eilonwy that she and Taran will be at the forefront of the darker times that will befall Prydain.
9	* BigDamnHeroes: Just as Taran, Fflewddur and Gurgi are about to be attacked by four armed brutes, two hooded and armed strangers appear to assist them. They afterwards reveal themselves to be Coll and [[spoiler:Prince Gwydion]].
10	* TheCameo: Eilonwy sees in the shared universe [[spoiler:portrays of the [[Franchise/DisneyPrincess Disney Princesses]], starting from WesternAnimation/{{Snow White\|AndTheSevenDwarfs}} to [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa and Anna]]]].
11	* TheCavalry: Coll and [[spoiler:Prince Gwydion]] rescue Taran, Fflewddur and Gurgi from being killed by the armed barbarians.
12	* DualWielding: Coll fights with a short sword and a dagger against the Horned King's men.
13	* EvilerThanThou: Arawn is regarded to be [[SortingAlgorithmOfEvil a threat to the world greater than the Horned King could have ever been]].
14	* EvilLaugh: Arawn emerges from the Black Cauldron with deep, cold and cruel laughter.
15	* EvilSoundsDeep: Arawn is shown to have a deep voice when he laughs upon his liberation from the Cauldron.
16	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Whenever a member of the [[spoiler:Disney Princesses]] returns to their own universe from the shared universe or any of the other universes, they forget the experience until they're summoned again.
17	* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:Prince Gwydion is all that's left of the royal family that ruled Prydain before being usurped by the Horned King.]]
18	* MythologyGag: The mysterious voice tells Eilonwy that, like her, some of the other princesses declined the offer to join the first time they were asked. This could be an allusion to Disney's failed attempts of making animated feature adaptations of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid\|1989}}'', ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and other fairy tales in the 1940s before they would finally succeed in doing so decades later.
19	* OhCrap: Hen Wen has a fit when she suddenly has a vision of Arawn emerging from the Black Cauldron.
20	* RiddleForTheAges: The identity of the voice in the shared universe.
21	* ShoutOut: The shared universe has a similar resemblance to the place Sora dreams about at the beginning of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI''.
22	* SicklyGreenGlow: After the witches of Morva have brought the Black Cauldron back to their hovel, it emits green mist which takes the shape of a man before materializing into Arawn.
23	* ThisCannotBe: Orddu cries this out when Arawn emerges from the Black Cauldron.
24	* TookALevelInBadass: The previously cowardly Gurgi greatly helps Fflewddur in fighting off one of the Horned King's men.
25	* TheUsurper: The Horned King is established to have overthrown the royal family who ruled Prydain before him. [[spoiler:Only Prince Gwydion remains.]]
26	* VillainousValour: When there's only one of the Horned King's men left against five heroes (two of whom are trained to fight with swords) and he realizes this, he chooses to fight to the end rather than flee.
27	* WhamLine: The voice provides one after Eilonwy has given her oath.
28	-->"Then, Eilonwy, welcome to our ranks. Welcome to [[spoiler:the Disney Princesses]]."
