Two Sides
Author's Notes: This is the sequel to The Ancients. This is where things start to get interesting in these two parts. Please R&R because nobody did so on my last one The Ancients and I'm not sure how my stories are going.
Earthquakes
Orko was in the royal garden, planting some Eternian plants of various colors. Prince Adam and Teela were at combat practice testing some of Duncan's otherwise known as Man-at-arms, new weaponry that he had recently invented. Once they had finished testing the weapons Teela went ahead and started having a go at Adam, Adam wasn't faring too well against Teela's strikes. The King and Queen were spending some quality time together. They hadn't done this in a long time due to royal duties.
Everything seemed to be as a normal day on Eternia should have been but then suddenly the ground started to tremble as if it were an earthquake. It didn't tremble much but it was enough to give you a good wobble. Everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed to Duncan's lab. Orko, being able to fly and therefore unaffected by the sudden earthquake, was first to reach the lab. Soon after him came Adam, Teela and Man-at-arms. A few minutes later and the King and Queen had joined them. Once they were all assembled and the trembling had stopped, Teela was the first to say anything.
"What was that? We don't normally get earthquakes in Eternos City." she asked.
"I don't know but I intend to find out." was Duncan's reply. They all waited for a minute or two while Man-at-arms ran things on the computer. "The epicenter is in the Sands of Time but the thing is it's right on the surface. Earthquakes normally have a focus underground not on the surface
"Could it be Skeletor?" asked Randor.
"It's very possible your majesty."
"Well then we should probably check it out then. We should get He-man just incase."
"I'll contact He-man father." Adam quickly volunteered.
"Your majesty, you should probably stay at the palace just to be safe." Duncan suggested.
"Of course Duncan." Randor agreed, understanding the young warriors concern.
At that everyone scattered, going to their individual place of importance at this time, if any. The King and Queen went to the throne room ready for anything. Duncan and Teela went to get two sky sleds to travel to the Sands of Time. Adam, with Cringer and Orko, went off in another direction and round a corner. After a brief look around he said those five familiar words.
"BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!" There was flashing lights that turned Adam into the heroic champion He-man. "I HAVE THE POWER!" He-man then pointed the Power Sword at Cringer who with the same magical aura, turned into Battle Cat and gave a tremendous roar as if on cue. He-man jumped onto Battle Cat and pulled Orko onto the giant cat as well then they raced off to the Sands of Time.
