I am Adam, Prince of Eternia

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me

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 200 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.

[Valtira] Good night, little Sago.

I shall awaken first to make sure all is well.

Good night, Tyrin.

Take care of Sago.

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,

[Teela laughing] Sure.

Adam, look!

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.
