I am Adora,
He-Man's twin sister

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!"

Oh, I wonder what made
the Horde Trooper suspicious.
I thought I looked
just like the other peasants.
Can't you think of a spell?
Any spell?
Oh, dearie my.
There's the disappearing spell,
but we're going so fast.
Oh, let me see.
Oh! Ickety pilins, ickety
Oh, no. That isn't right.
Maybe it's
Too late. Hold on.
Here comes another stun.
Good thing there's nothing
around here we could hit
like a house or a tree.
Want to bet?
We're gonna hit it!
Madame, did you see that?
Yes!
That tree hit the Hordesman
with an energy bolt!
That sure was lucky for us.
Hang on.
We're getting out of here.
How am I ever going to explain
this to the Force Captain?
That Horde Flyer
nearly had us
when that tree threw a spell
at it and saved us.
I wonder what it was.
Oh, I think I know.
- You do?
- Yes.
There's a very old legend
older than I am
Nothing is that old.
A legend about a powerful wizard
who created his own world
inside a magical tree.
- Inside a tree?
- That's right.
And he's supposed to be
still living there.
From what you said, he doesn't
seem to like the Horde.
He could be a good friend to us.
Madame, are you and Broom
ready for another long trip?
- No!
- Yes.
Good. Then we'll go tomorrow.
I just wish we knew more
about this wizard,
and I know just who to ask.
Light Hope!
For the honor of Grayskull!

Isn't there anything
you can tell me
about this mysterious wizard?
Little is known.
Centuries ago, the wizard
withdrew into his tree.
Since then, he has had nothing
to do with the outside world.
Still, if there's even
a chance he'd help us,
then we've got to try.
After all, the wizard
did help Madame Razz.
Be careful, She-Ra.
The Wizard of the Tree
loves his privacy
and hates visitors.
He may greet your arrival
with anger.
Be very careful.
You were what?
I was chasing a woman
on a flying broom.
Madame Razz?
I almost caught her
when my Flyer was hit
by a bolt of energy
from the tree.
I was lucky to land
in one piece.
Don't be too sure about that.
You are sentenced to two weeks
in the sulfur pits.
Oh, no! N-not there!
Yes, there.
But first, you will make
your report to Hordak
in person!
On second thought,
couldn't I just go
to the sulfur pits instead?
Too bad Adora
couldn't come along with us.
It seemed like a better idea
for me to come instead.
Are you saying you'd rather
Adora was here instead of me?
Uh, no, of course not.
Oh, dearie my.
So you were saying
that you prefer She-Ra's company
over Adora's?
No! I meanthat is
I think it's an incredibly rude
thing to say.
Boy, some people!
Butbut I-I didn't mean
All right, Bow,
what did you mean?
Do you prefer
She-Ra's company
Or Adora's?
I thinkI thinkugh.
What's that?
Whoa! Whoa!
That was no earthquake.
That chasm
just suddenly appeared.
Like magic.
Madame, you and I can fly over,
but do you know a spell
that could get Bow across?
Arrow and I can get across
on our own, She-Ra.
All we need is a little room.
Watch this.
Bow, wait!
Go, Arrow!
I'll scout ahead
and see if it's safe!
Whoa! I found something,
all right.
A wall of flame from nowhere.
It must be magic.
There's no other explanation.
Do you know
who I think is doing this?
The wizard!
Oh, you knew.
Well, we have to take care
of this fire.
Let's try a direct approach.
A nice, cool corridor
to the wizard.
Shall we go?
A strange tree
in the middle of nowhere?
A mysterious force
that threw you into a mud hole?
Do you expect me
to believe this?
This is what happens
to anyone who lies to Hordak.
That trooper
could've been telling the truth.
He could have?
Sorry.
Among the legends
of this planet,
there is one that fits
the trooper's story.
It is the story
of a mighty wizard.
Could he be a threat to us?
That doesn't matter.
What matters is, there must be
only one power on this planet,
and that is the Horde.
Prepare to attack this wizard
in a tree.
Oh! Dearie my, that's it!
The wizard's tree.
How comforting
to find it still here.
What are we waiting for?
Don't be in such a hurry, Bow.
Several strange things
have happened.
We should keep our eyes open.
What could happen?
Look out there.
It's completely empty.
There's not the slightest sign
of
movement.
This is a very strange place.
Ha! Not even close.
I wouldn't be so sure, Bow.
There might be more to come.
She's right. Look! Ooh.
The spikes
are turning to crystals.
- We're trapped.
- We'll see about that.
Now, I can understand the wizard
not wanting to see us, but
this is downright rude.
Oh, dearie my,
am I glad to be out of there.
Well, there it is.
It's just as you described,
Madame.
It's certainly not
the prettiest tree I've seen.
- Bow!
- Are you all right?
This plant tripped me.
Mm, I think I'm all right.
Pray that you
stay that way,
because now you must face me.
It's the wizard!
I think we're in trouble.
Big trouble.
Pilot! How long
until we reach the tree
where our ship was attacked?
Soon, great Hordak.
Make it sooner.
Y-y-yes, wonderful,
great Hordak.
Why were you doing
all those things to us?
I hoped you would get
discouraged
and leave me alone.
You aren't as smart as you look.
We're smart enough
to get past everything
you could throw at us.
We came to ask for your support.
The Horde is dangerous
to us and to you,
but together
Wrong. The Horde is dangerous
to you, not me.
I have better things to do
than protect weaklings.
Look,
we've come a long way.
Then you'll have a long trip
back too, won't you?
It wouldn't hurt you
to show a little hospitality
to travelers.
My, my.
Have I forgotten my manners?
How rude of me.
Would you like something cold
to drink?
I sure would.
This is getting out of hand.
Look. No one has to get angry.
I do. I'm dripping wet.
You can be sure
I won't leave here
until I see you face-to-face
and tell you
what I think of you.
So you want to see me, eh?
- Right.
- Then come.
- Bow!
- Oh, dearie my!
He's gone!
Now leave before I take you too!
We're not leaving
without our friend.
As you wish.
Hey, Madame, can you stop
that animal or slow it down?
Dazzle, sazzle,
dizzle, deet,
soften the ground
beneath his feet.
Good work, Madame.
Oh, thank you.
That's what's making
the monsters, She-Ra.
Watch that tree.
That thing is creating
too many monsters to fight,
but that doesn't mean
we can't try.
Right, She-Ra?
- Wrong, Bow.
- What?
Wizard, I know
you don't mean to hurt us.
If you really did,
you wouldn't have helped
Madame Razz escape the Horde.
I'm sorry if we made you angry.
We just wanted to ask
for your support
in our fight against the Horde.
But we'd never try to force you.
It's your free choice.
Now where are we?
Where you have always been:
inside my tree.
Oh, dearie my.
All this is
inside that tree we saw?
Yes. Centuries ago,
I created this,
my world away from the world,
and came here to live.
But you're alone.
As beautiful as this is,
it must be very lonely without
someone to share it with you.
I don't need people.
All they see is how ugly I look,
just like everyone else did
before I left your world.
Oh, dearie my.
Is that why you hide?
Because you're afraid of what
people think about your looks?
I suppose, looking at you,
I could understand.
Oh, no, no
I didn't mean it that way.
Enough!
Well, here we are outside again.
Where did you come from?
We'll explain later, Kowl.
I'm afraid we didn't have
much success with the wizard.
We can't force him to join
with us
against the Horde.
Who knows?
Maybe he'll be lucky
and escape Hordak's attention.
But I doubt it.
So that's
the wizard's tree?
It doesn't look like very much.
We should not underestimate
the wizard.
I have prepared a spell
of special power.
I underestimate no one.
Force Captain, begin the attack.
Oh, dearie my. Let's face it.
We failed.
May as well head back to
Wait. I hear something.
It sounds like trouble.
It sounds to me
like a Horde strike force.
That's what I said.
It sounds like trouble.
One of the Flyers
has been hit!
I read you.
The wizard
is resisting the attack.
This is just to occupy
the wizard's attention.
Now for my attack!
Doom Cloud, hover over tree
and steal the strength
of my enemy.
It works!
It's imprisoning the tree.
Well done, Shadow Weaver.
The enemy is ours.
Ground forces, advance
and cut that tree down.
Oh, dearie my!
The wizard can't break
that spell by himself,
not once it's begun.
Just like we said,
you can't fight the Horde alone.
But he isn't alone.
We're here.
Are you really suggesting
we help him
even though
he would not help us?
Yes, because he needs our help.
The wizard is weakening
as the cloud steals his power.
He is no longer
returning fire.
Victory is within our grasp!
Care for a little game of tag,
Catra?
You!
I'll see you
in the darkest dungeons
of the Fright Zone,
you miserable insect!
I think you made Catra mad.
Getting up in the morning
makes Catra mad.
Follow that Flyer.
I want to give Catra a chance
to help the Rebellion.
Keep trying, Catra.
You need the practice.
Hey! What's going on?
Who's shooting at me?
Force Captain,
stop firing!
You're downing your own ship,
I tell you!
That woman has interfered
with me too often.
Now she answers to me.
We've got company.
Maybe we can bring these
two deserving people together.
Just wait.
Wait!
Now!
Hordak!
Get me out of here, at once!
Be careful how you fly,
or I'll have you demoted
to mopping up the moat.
Hey, Madame, what about
all those Horde Troopers
on the ground?
Oh, there was a spell,
but I'm not sure whether it
ended with "rugs" or "bugs."
Well, let me find out.
Where did these bugs come from?
I'm scratching all over.
Oh, dearie my!
It was "bugs"!
Ha! I thought so.
Oh, you may
think you've won, She-Ra,
but you have yet to face
the Cloud of Doom!
It's draining my strength.
I've got to
to break free.
Let's see if a little twister
can take care of that cloud.
Now be a good cloud
and go rain on someone's garden.
Are you all right?
Yes, thanks to you.
Now I suppose you think
I have to help you.
No. It's your choice.
That's why we fought for you,
to give you that choice.
All people aren't the same.
Not everyone will judge you
by your looks,
but you have to give them
a chance.
- It's my choice?
- Yes.
Then I choose
to think about it.
Fair enough.
What happened?
You mean he just left?
No "thank you"?
Not even a ride home?
I think we'll be hearing
from him again.
He knows now he can trust us,
and he also knows
he can't trust Hordak.
Well, as long as he's gone,
I can say it:
that is still the ugliest tree
I've ever seen,
but there were sure
some beautiful things inside.
Bow, it's what's inside
that really counts.
That's what I said.
Yes, but She-Ra said it better.
Hi! It's me again, Loo-Kee.
Did you find
where I was hiding today?
Find me yet?
Here I am!
In today's story,
the wizard was made unhappy
by what someone said about him.
You know, if you can't say
something nice about a person,
it's better not to say
anything at all.
Of course, it's always best
to say something nice.
Hey, you're wonderful.
Bye now.

Here I am!
In today's story,
the wizard was made unhappy
by what someone said about him.
You know, if you can't say
something nice about a person,
it's better not to say
anything at all.
Of course, it's always best
to say something nice.
Hey, you're wonderful.
Bye now.
