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 ♪
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.

Please, everyone, have your fill.
There is plenty of food for all.
What's this party all about, anyway?
Don't you know?
We're celebrating the time Mystacor was freed
from an evil power.
An evil power?
Well, it all started
when Spirit and I were riding down a country road.
I was on my way back to Whispering Woods
when I heard the most beautiful music.
It's Bow.
I should have known.
Uh-oh, Hordesmen.
We'd better see what they're up to.
You sure that's him?
Yeah, they say one of the Rebels plays music.
It must be him.
Then let's grab him.
Hordak will be pleased.
Besides, I hate music.
Me too.
You know, Spirit, it's too nice a day
to let Hordak's henchmen ruin it for Bow.
Hmm, maybe we should teach them a little music appreciation.
I'd love to teach them a lesson they won't forget.
For the honor of Grayskull!

I am She-Ra!
What are we waiting for?
Come on, let's get him now.
Sorry, fellas,
but your little performance has just been canceled.
It's She-Ra!
Where...where are you taking us?
Since your feeling about music seems pretty narrow,
I thought I'd give you a broader look at the world,
kind of a bird's-eye view.
Don't drop us.
I'll try not to.
Everybody off.
Have a nice slide home, fellas.
We'll show her.
As soon as we get back to our tank,
we'll show her up.
Oh, no, we won't.
Look.
I thought you'd be lonesome without your tank.
Give my regards to Hordak.
Oh, how are we going to explain this to Hordak?
Uh, how are we going to get down?
♪ She-Ra ♪
Ah, thank you.
Thank you, my friends.
Your applause is much appreciated.
That was a very lovely melody, Bow.
Adora, what are you doing out here?
I'm on my way back to Whispering Woods.
So am I.
Why don't we travel together?
The road does lead through the Dark Forest of Mystacor.
You'll be better off to have a man with you.
Oh, thank you.
I'll feel much safer with you.
And so you should.
Bow and I rode toward the Dark Forest,
unaware of the strange adventure
which lay just ahead of us.
Did you hear that?
It's coming from over there.
She must have slipped over the edge of the gully.
Just lie quietly.
We'll have you out of there in a minute.
I'll have Spirit pull while you help the woman.
- Ready? - Pull away.
Can you stand?
Oh, yes, I'm fine
and most grateful.
I wish I could return the favor,
but I am a poor old woman.
Your thanks are more than enough payment.
There is one thing I can offer you: a warning.
Be most careful as you continue on this path.
The Dark Forest can be an evil and dangerous place
for innocent travelers.
We thank you for the advice.
And we wish you a safe journey too.
Well, the old woman was right.
The forest became darker and more threatening
every step of the way.
Danger seemed to lurk behind every tree.
And then, suddenly...
Take them.
That's what you think.
Let's go, Adora.
Take them to the castle.
Have you ever been here before?
I never knew this place even existed.
Quiet!
The inside of the castle
was filled with dark enchantment.
Whoever lived in it had very evil powers.
What have you brought me?
We took these two in the forest, Mistress.
They'll make fine...
Who are you?
And why have we been brought here?
Silence!
I am Mortella, mistress of this castle
and the most powerful sorceress in the realm.
You are here because I require more slaves.
Slaves?
I said silence!
Your slave task will be
to keep the fire burning brightly.
It must never, ever burn low.
Never!
If it does, you will be sorry.
Very, very sorry.
Now, I will personally
see you both placed in the dungeon...
...until I need you.
The pit has no bottom.
So think twice before you try to cross it.
Forces of magic, hear me well.
Take these two inside that cell.
Try not to get too comfortable.
I'll be back for you soon.
So you and Bow were locked in a dungeon
behind a bottomless pit,
and you didn't have your sword.
How did you get away?
Patience, Kowl.
We tried to work out a plan,
but nothing seemed to work.
These bars are too strong to try to loosen.
I'm afraid that...
Bow.
Look!
It's the woman we rescued.
Hello, over here!
She saw us.
What do you suppose she's doing around a place like this?
I don't know.
But she's coming inside the castle.
And this, my lady, this,
this is ground from the root of the magicka tree.
It is well-suited for sleeping potions.
Excellent.
I'll take those.
And I want the transformation powders too.
As you wish.
Your herbs have been very useful.
Make sure you bring more before the month is out.
But don't you ever try to leave Dark Forest.
Remember, my power will find you.
Now leave me.
I have more important matters to attend to.
Yes, thank you, my lady.
My friends...
...your kindness has not been forgotten.
I've come to help you.
But what can you do?
The pit is bottomless, and we're behind bars.
Oh, I might be able to do something.
Thank you.
You certainly have a few surprises to offer.
Oh, you must leave this place as quickly as you can.
Get out of Mystacor.
But we can't get across the pit the way you can.
No, you can't.
What are those, cards?
Yes, I use them for tricks in the magic shows I do.
Give them to me, please.
Well, now, that's some trick.
I don't suppose you'd show me how to do that.
Follow me, and hurry.
After you, Adora.
Thank you, I think.
♪ She-Ra ♪
This way.
Someone's coming.
Quick, behind the throne, hide.
The fire needs tending.
You fools!
You know that it must never go out!
Why must she keep the fire burning?
It is the source of Mortella's power.
She even conjured up her knights out of the magic flames.
The fire has allowed her to rule these many years.
Bow, let's split up.
We'll lead them away.
Stay here. You'll be safe.
Seize them!
For the honor of Grayskull!
♪ She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
♪ She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
Wow!
Those knights aren't real.
Magic, evil magic.
Obviously I'm the only one who can handle this.
Three against one
doesn't seem very fair to me.
Who are you?
How dare you trespass here?
I am She-Ra,
and I don't like the way you're treating my friend.
How about a game of follow the leader?
You two, get her!
It's time to turn the tables on these two.
Fools!
This will freeze you where you stand.
You will pay for this outrage.
I'd better put out that magic fire
before she frees herself.
I'll teach those fools to toy with me.
As the fire grows higher,
my power increases.
No, Mortella.
Your evil reign cannot continue.
I'll stop you, once and for all.
You dare to challenge me?
I thought you'd learned your lesson.
She-Ra.
I slipped away while you were checkmating those knights.
We've got to do something to stop Mortella
before she whips up another spell.
I'm working on it.
And that drawbridge is going to help me.
Drawbridge?
Stand back.
Yah!
What now?
We cross over.
Can you get a line to that tree over there?
Easy as bibble pie.
This should drive the moat water right into the castle.
That takes care of you.
Now I'll deal with your friends.
No, no.
No!
Oh, my power.
My wonderful power.
It's gone, gone, gone.
The fire's out.
And look.
My true form returns.
Mortella's spell is lifted,
and it's all thanks to you two.
Oh, thank you, my friends.
But...but who are you?
I am Castaspella, true queen of Mystacor.
And now that I have returned,
let my kingdom be as it was once more.
And that's the story, Kowl.
And that's why we're celebrating.
That's a wonderful story.
I've always liked happy endings.
Adora, it's getting warm in here.
How about you and I taking a walk?
I could use some water.
Some water for Bow, if you please.
No, please...
Sorry, Kowl.
I forgot to ask for a glass.
You have to say exactly what you mean
around Castaspella's magic castle.
Hi, well, here I am again.
Did you find where I was hiding today?
If not, here's another chance.
See me now?
Here I am.
In today's exciting adventure,
Bow and Adora helped a woman in trouble.
By coming to her rescue, they did an act of kindness.
That kindness came back to them when they were in trouble.
As Adora said,
kindness is repaid with kindness.
