She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am Adora,
He-Man's twin sister
and defender
of the Crystal Castle.
This is Spirit,
my beloved steed.
Fabulous secrets
were revealed to me
the day I held aloft my sword
and said
"For the honor of Grayskull!"
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
Only a few others
share this secret.
Among them are Light Hope,
Madame Razz, and Kowl.
Together, we and my friends
of the Great Rebellion
strive to free Etheria
from the evil forces of Hordak.
She-Ra♪
She-Ra ♪
Tell us a story, Madame, please.
Oh, please,
a story about She-Ra.
Well, now, um, let me see.
Ah! I know.
I'll tell ya how She-Ra
made Bright Moon safe
from the Horde.
Ooh, that sounds
like a good one.
Oh, it is. It is.
It all started
a little while after
the Rebellion's first victory
over the Horde.
Adora and I got a message
that Castle Bright Moon
was under attack,
and we flew there to see
how we could help Queen Angella.
Oh, dearie my!
The castle's under attack
by dark magic!
Can we get inside?
Oh, I hope so, dearie.
Broom, full speed ahead!
Aye, aye, sirI mean, Madame.
Mother, it's Madame Razz
and Adora.
They're flying right toward us!
Have the gate opened quickly!
I must maintain
the castle's defense.
Madame, the gate's not open.
It will beI hope.
Open the gate! Hurry!
Look out!
Stop!
Oh, dearie my!
Is it always so dark in here?
The attack has stopped.
For the moment,
but this is only the beginning.
Shadow Weaver is behind this,
and she means
to continue these attacks.
But why?
Your magic
is obviously strong enough
to ward them off.
It is for now,
but my magic is tied
to the power of this castle,
a power which comes
from the light
of our Etherian moons.
And in a few days,
there'll be an eclipse.
The moons will be dark.
Then these attacks
are only meant
to weaken your power.
Yes, and when the moons
are completely dark,
Shadow Weaver will strike
in earnest,
and without the castle's
full power,
I won't be able to stop her.
Bright Moon's magic
will be gone.
What can we do,
Queen Angella?
There is one hope.
We must find the Crystal Castle.
What's the Crystal Castle?
According to the old tales,
it's the most magical place
on Etheria.
It holds all the secrets
from the days of the First Ones,
the founders of our world.
But, Mother,
that's only a story.
It's not true.
Some think so,
but I believe it exists,
though I know of no one
who's ever seen it.
I do. Ahgo has seen it.
At least that's what I heard.
Ahgo? Oh, dearie my.
Who's Ahgo?
He is King of the Trolls
of Spikeheart.
Trolls?
Oh, but they hate everyone,
especially humans.
They'd never help us.
We don't really know that
until we speak to them.
And if Ahgo is the only one
who's seen the castle,
I'll have to find him.
Oh, dearie my.
You can't do that.
It's much too dangerous.
Don't worry, Madame.
She-Ra will take me
to the Trolls.
I should be safe enough
with her, don't you think?
Are you sure about this, Adora?
They say that Trolls eat horses.
Oh, don't be so quick
to believe what you hear,
Spirit.
For the honor of Grayskull!
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
She-Ra ♪
Up, Swift Wind!
We're off to Spikeheart!
Good.
Very good.
Bright Moon's magic weakens
by the hour.
Uh, excuse me, mistress.
I have the image you asked for.
Well, bring it here.
Perfect.
With this pretty little toy,
I shall seal the doom
of Castle Bright Moon
and the Rebellion.
And no power on Etheria
will be able to stop me.
Hmm, quite a place, huh, Swifty?
Let's land
and take a look around.
If you say so.
Toggo! Garak na har! Kura!
Which way?
I suppose one way
is as good as
Why have you
come to Spikeheart, woman?
I want to talk to your King.
Please take me to him.
I don't mean you any harm.
You lie!
Humans hate Trolls.
I have no reason to hate you
or to lie to you.
You would say anything
to trick us into freeing you.
That's not true.
I could easily free myself,
and I'll prove it.
Now can we talk this over
reasonably?
Shall we catch him, She-Ra?
I've got a better idea.
Up, Swift Wind!
Up it is.
I see him.
Take it slow now, Swifty.
Unless I miss my guess,
he'll take us
right to the Troll King.
Looks like your plan worked.
Now to get inside.
I think one good shove should
She-Ra!
These Trolls are sure tricky.
Looks like a tight squeeze.
Got to get loose before
these silly rocks close in.
Better do this fast.
I never knew rocks
could be so unfriendly.
This is the worst attack yet,
and the castle's power
is already weakening.
Oh, I hope Mother can hold out
until Adora can find
the Crystal Castle.
You may not pass!
I have to see
the King of the Trolls,
and I have no wish
to fight with you.
Ha! Puny mortal woman!
What can you do
against one such as me?
I need something
to cool this hothead down.
Let's try this.
No!
So much for playing with fire.
Now to find Ahgo.
Ahgo!
Ahgo, King of Trolls,
where are you?
Ma-Gar!
Your tricks will not help you
this time, warrior woman.
Ma-Gar! Tura!
I came here in peace.
Why can't you believe me?
Ha-Tock!
You are Ahgo, King of Trolls?
I am.
Who are you,
and why do you come
to Spikeheart?
My name is She-Ra,
and I need your help.
I must find the Crystal Castle,
and I'm told you've seen it.
I have,
but why should I help you?
I'm part of the Great Rebellion.
We are trying to free Etheria
from the Horde,
and if I don't find the castle,
our cause may be
in great danger.
When the Horde
first came here,
we Trolls
offered to help fight them.
But you humans would not accept
our help.
You hated us, feared us,
mistrusted us.
So we came here to Spikeheart,
away from the Horde,
away from your hate.
I don't hate you.
And if I mistrusted you,
would I be here alone,
asking for your help?
It is true you are not like
most other humans.
You have courage.
Then help me, please.
Do not believe her, Ahgo!
She attacked us!
Yet she did you no harm.
Very well, She-Ra.
I shall tell you what I can.
Long ago, I searched
for the castle.
With my magic,
I came to its gates
and looked upon
its magnificent beauty.
And where was it?
That I cannot tell you.
The castle has a keeper,
and I promised him
I would never reveal
the castle's exact location.
Then how can I ever hope
to find it?
The castle is always where
its seeker most wants it to be,
in plain sight, yet never seen.
This is its nature.
Do you understand?
Yes. Thank you, Ahgo.
And now I must go.
Time is short.
My magic shall return you
to your steed.
I will tell the people
of Etheria of your aid
and your wisdom.
Perhaps Troll and human
can be friends.
If you will talk to your people
on our behalf,
I will talk to mine.
Farewell.
Looking for someone?
Where were you? What happened?
No time to tell you now.
We've got to get back
to Bright Moon, fast.
The moons will be dark tonight,
and Shadow Weaver will strike.
The time has come.
Castle Bright Moon's power
is at its weakest,
and it cannot get more power
as long as the Etherian moons
are dark.
Now let
the Great Spell of Shriving
begin!
By my grandfather's beard!
This magic is the most powerful
I've ever seen.
Join your hands to mine.
The castle's power
is all but gone.
I'll need yours
to try and stop this spell.
If only She-Ra had found
the Crystal Castle.
Oh, oh, dearie my.
It's too late now, Broomy.
We must do what we can.
Let our magic go forth
to battle the darkness.
It's working, but for how long?
Hoo! We've got more trouble.
Look!
Destructo tanks
and troopers.
They'll move in as soon
as the castle's magic is gone.
Alert the other rebels, Kowl.
I'll go at once.
She-Ra, it's terrible.
We must help.
The Crystal Castle
is our only hope now.
It will be where you most
want it to be,
in plain sight, yet never seen.
That's it. It's got to be.
That mountain, Sky Dancer,
its peak is always covered
by clouds, always unseen.
Head for it, Swift Wind.
Quickly!
Swift Wind, look!
But how do we get in?
Ahgo said the castle
had a keeper, remember?
Castle, I wish to enter!
Welcome, She-Ra.
Long have I awaited
your coming.
I am Light Hope.
spirit of this castle.
Light Hope,
do you know why I've come?
I do.
Can you help me save
Castle Bright Moon?
There is only one way,
and it is perilous.
I'll do anything.
Then listen well.
At the heart of this planet
lies the Great Clock
which measures out all time
on Etheria.
You must go to the clock
and cause it to move faster,
thus speeding up time itself.
In this way, the moons
will again shine brightly,
and Angella will have the power
she needs.
How do I reach this clock?
I shall send you there.
But beware,
the clock is guarded.
I'll be careful.
Now, please hurry.
No sooner said
than done.
There it is!
Down, Swift Wind!
Now, how do I speed it up?
Nice work, Swifty.
Look out!
She-Ra!
One chance!
Got to move just right!
Oh, no, you don't!
I've got to get this pendulum
swinging faster.
Mother, power going
Can't hold
Oh, dearie my.
I'm afraid I'm going too.
Mustkeep fighting.
Ah, their power fades.
Another moment,
and I shall triumph.
The moons!
Their power fills me once again!
Now by the magic of this castle,
I command,
spell of evil, be gone!
I have failed, but how?
How?
Back to your holes, Hordesmen.
You will not have
Castle Bright Moon this night.
- Yay! Hooray!
- We've done it!
She-Ra ♪
Castle Bright Moon is saved,
and Angella will see that
it is better protected
in the future.
We owe you a great debt,
Light Hope.
It was your bravery
and hope that won the day.
But there is something
you may do for me.
Name it.
I wish you
to treat this castle
as your personal haven.
Visit it often
and speak with me.
It will be my pleasure.
Also,
you must keep
the location of the castle
a secret from all those
who do not know your secret.
Will you do this?
We'll keep your secret,
Light Hope.
And now,
join your friends
in celebration.
We shall see each other again
soon.
Farewell, She-Ra,
Princess of Power.
Farewell, Light Hope.
Well, dearie, that's how She-Ra
found the Crystal Castle
and made Bright Moon
forever safe from the Horde.
Do you know where the
Crystal Castle is, Madame Razz?
Oh, dearie my, no.
That's She-Ra's secret.
She promised Light Hope
she would never, never tell,
and she never has.
I sure wish I could see it.
Someday you will,
when Etheria is free.
I hope that day comes soon.
We all do, dearie.
We all do.
Hi! It's me againLoo-Kee.
Did you find
where I was hiding today?
If not, take another look.
See me now?
Here I am!
You know, sometimes just because
a person looks or talks
different,
some people say bad things
about them.
That's really silly.
Wouldn't it be
a pretty dull world
if we were all the same?
Bye, now. See ya next time!
