Ah, come on, Cringer. What is it now?

Did you see a mouse?

Creature, it is I, Tauron, who have summoned you.

By my spell, I bind you to my will.

Gark!

Then Gark I shall call you.

There were two forks of lightning,

so you must have a partner

with powers equal to your own.

I wish I had some magic that could help.

Adam, Cringer, look out!

Quick, Cringer.

This could be our chance.

Flee from this puny beast?

My pet Gark and I got hit by a mysterious ray,

Gark will bind you to my will,

Gee, Orko, I don't know what came over me.

Oh, yes, I do!

I have regained my powers to serve Tauron,

my supreme master.

Adam, what's he talking about?

[He-Man] Tauron's an evil wizard,

and he seems to have put your uncle and Gark

under a spell.

Make the most of it, Orko.

Make the most of it.

Well, I'm glad everyone didn't disappear.

[laughs] Don't worry, Orko. We're not leaving.

Someone's got to stay and keep an eye on you.

And we've got the job.

[Battle Cat chortling]

If there's one thing better than being a great magician,

it's being alive and having great friends like you.

And I'm going to make the most of it.

[laughing]

My Uncle Montork taught me a lot about magic,

but not just the regular kind.

He taught me how to see the magic that's all around us.

Like, for instance, there just has to be magic

in anything as beautiful as a rainbow.

And there's real magic

in the way a mother takes care of her young.

But as my uncle said,

the most wonderful magic of all

is just being alive.

[laughs] Bye, now!
