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 mean...that is...
I think it's an incredibly rude thing to say.
Boy, some people!
But...but I-I didn't mean...
All right, Bow,
what did you mean?
Do you prefer She-Ra's company...
Or Adora's?
I think...I think...ugh.
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.
