I am Adam,

This is Cringer,

Fabulous secret powers
were revealed to me

my magic sword and said,

"By the power of Grayskull!"

Only three others
share this secret:

our friends the Sorceress,
Man-At-Arms, and Orko.

Together we defend
Castle Grayskull

from the evil forces
of Skeletor.

[cackling]

[He-Man] Now that is
one spooky old castle.

[Teela] It was even spookier
years ago.

According to an old legend,

Lord Tyrin and Lady Valtira
lived there,

and by evil magic,
they drew their energy

from the trees in the forest.

They kept on until the trees
were all used up.

With their energy supply gone,
well, they had to do something.

So Lord Tyrin and Lady Valtira
went to sleep

and slept for centuries

waiting for the trees
in the forest to grow.

♪ ♪

We will sleep, Valtira,

while the energy in the trees
grow strong

and the world forgets
how wicked we were.

Don't worry, my pet.

We've included you in our plans.

[Tyrin] Shall we?

[Valtira] Good night,
little Sago.

I shall awaken first
to make sure all is well.

Good night, Tyrin.

Take care of Sago.

Go on, Sago, and sleep.

[Teela] So they went to sleep,
a sleep of years,

so the legend says,
and while they slept,

the forest grew back
stronger than ever,

which means,
if the legend is true,

that Valtira and Tyrin
could be waking up any time now.

Well, as long as they don't
do it tonight.

Don't worry, Adam.

Even if they're already awake,

it's the trees they're after,
not you.

Well, I hope you're right,

but you will protect me,
won't you?

[Teela laughing] Sure.

[horses neighing]

Adam, look!

[horses nickering]

Careful, we don't want
to scare them away.

Teela, you said we were going
on a wild horse roundup,

but you didn't say
they had wings.

Shh, you'll frighten them.

Yeah, well, they frighten me.

Get your lasso ready.

Valtira always loved
the winged horses.

It is time.

will wake her at last.

Hi.

Today we met some people who
had slept for over years.

Well, we don't need
that much sleep,

but it is important
to get enough sleep.

So here's some things
to remember.

Don't eat a lot
before going to bed.

A glass of milk
or a piece of fruit

makes a good bedtime snack.

Try to go to bed
at the same time every night.

And avoid
any exercise or excitement

before going to bed.

Well, good night.

Oh, good night, Cringer.
