I have never seen He Man so I do not know what his castle looks like. Just guessing. :D

The Beginning

"No, no," Queen Marlena murmured in her nightmare. "Please. Not my babies. Please."

Horde fliers circle the palace of Eternos and shoot laser beams, crumbling parts of the grand walls to pieces. Queen Marlena runs throughout the castle, swerving left and right as the roof crumbles and robot troopers shoot through, hitting living and nonliving things. Marlena runs outside, grabs the rail of the balcony, and looks at her kingdom. The palace and the land before it is almost in ruins; fires burn in the gardens and the farms surrounding the castle. Women scream and children sobb. The invaders cackle and laugh. Dust and pebbles fall over her head and settle at her feet. Queen Marlena looks up too late to see a huge block of marble coming at her. Someone pushes her and they both fall safely away as it crashes through the floor and parts of the railing, leaving a wide, gaping hole. King Randor helps his wife up.

"Are you alright?" he asks.

"Yes," Marlena answers. "Are you?"

"I'm fine, but we must get you and the children to safety," Randor says. Marlena pales.

"The children. Oh my Neptune," Marlena murmurs. "We must get to the children!"

She is about to run to her children's room when a large boom makes her swivel around.

"Oh no," she whispers. The Horde flagship, with the leader's face on it, was leveling with the window that led into the room that held the twins. But instead of a window, a gaping hole large enough to fit two people was there. And the leader of the invaders was entering himself.

"Hordak!" Randor shouts, and they both run, hand in hand, up the stairs and into Adam's and Adora's room. Man-At-Arms joins them and he kicks open the door.

"Get away from my children you monster!" Marlena screams and throws herself at Hordak. However, Hordak kicks her aside, and she crumples to the floor. Randor drops to the ground and holds his wife. Hordak picks up Adora from her place next to Adam, and he runs back to his ship. They fly off. Marlena screams and wails.

"My baby! Not my baby!"

"NO!" Marlena screamed and shot out of bed. She panted heavily and shivered,tears welling up in her eyes.

"Marlena! Are you alright?" Randor asked and hugged his wife. She sobbed into his shoulder.

"Why? Why did they have to come to our home? Why?" she cried.

"I know, my love, I know," Randor comforted his wife. "He is an evil man with no heart."

"But why take my little baby, when she's done nothing?" Marlena asked.

Randor sighed. "They are an evil group with no sympathy or heart for one another or for others. They do not care for the suffering of people as long as it isn't their own self."

Marlena sniffed. "I am pitied for the path they chose, when they could've been happy," she said.

"As do I," Randor said.

"And Adam does not, and will not ever know the sister he has," Marlena said and sighed.

"It is for the good of him and our people," Randor said, saddened by the truth of his words.

"For the good of Adam and our people," Marlena repeated.
