He-Ro and the Powers of Greyskull
Eldor, head of the Council of Elders, and one of the oldest and wisest beings on Eternia, was currently in the Vine Jungle, running for his life. What he was running from was six large snakes with feet and arms and walked like men. Four of these snake men looked liked snakes, just with arms and legs. A fifth one look did look like a man, but only one that had died and had been buried in the ground for about a month. The final one, and the one that had given Eldor nightmares for a thousand years looked exactly like a man, and if he wasn't one of the most well known, and feared, beings threw out all of Eternia, most people would have assumed he was a man.
Why the six snake men were chasing the head of the Council wasn't for he himself, but for what he was carrying, for in the his hand was a staff. A very powerful staff.
This staff was atleast six feet long and appeared to be made of gold, but in reality neither Eldor, nor did anyone else, know what staff was made of. On top of the staff was a small oval shaped object about the size of a large egg, topped by four jagged lightning shaped strips of metal spreading outwords about four inches each, and sticking out of the center of those four was a four inch long, one inch wide spear head.
This weapon, although looked like nothing more than an expensive lance, was infact one of the most powerful objects on the planet, if not the entire universe. This was the object of desire, and hatred, for the most human looking of the snake men, the one the others persueing him called King Hiss.
Despite the power within this staff, Eldor could not use it. He may have been over a thousand years old and well versed in magic, but he was not able to access the great power within the staff. Infact he knew of only one man whom could and he had been dead for a thousand years.
He knew not why King Hiss wanted the staff. He could not access the power within the weapon, could he? Prehaps he wanted it as a trophy. Or perhaps as an insult to the one that defeated the snake king a thousand years ago, the man called Gray, who was better known as He-Ro, the most powerful sorcerer of all times.
"Speaking of heros" Eldor thought to himself, "I wish He-Man was around here some where. I've been running for an hour. I can't keep this up. I've got to hide and somehow contact the Heroic Warriors, wait whats that?" Threw all the trees and vines he say what appeared to be a small temple. Thinking to himself, "well that will have to do" and with a burst of speed he took off towards the structure, the snake men in fast pursuit behind him.
Once he got to the worn temple he recognized it instantly, but could not believe his eyes once he got a good look at the structure for he thought this place was just a legend. Before him was the Temple of Gaia, a temple that has within it, as the legends say, a portal to the homeworld of Queen Marleena, planet Earth. "If this is true" he thought, "Then maybe I might be able to live another day and keep the Staff of Light out of Hiss's hands."
He ran inside the ancient structure and directly into a large room. Inside, the temple was very barren. There was no writing on the walls, nor were there any statues or torch holders anywhere in the room, but it was very well lit inside. This was do the fact that standing in the middle of the room was a six foot wide stone circle. Inside that circle was a swirling white mass of magical energy.
He slowly walked over to the stone circle. Once over to it he touched the stone and found that it was perfect. It was perfectly flat and smooth. No nics or bumps or any indication that it had been there for a very long time.
"Incredible" He said outloud, "It looks like its been here for only a day, and had a very good stone mason make it."
"Give me the ssstaff, and perhapsss I ssshale let live for a while longer" a very evil, reptilian sounding voice came from behind him.
Venomously, Eldor told the voice, "never." He turned around to stare at the owner of that voice, along with the other five that were persueing him. "I will never give you the Staff of Light, King Hiss."
The king of the snakes looked at the head of the Council of Elders and said in his reptilian voice, "I sssaid give me the ssstaff," then an evil looking smile came over his face, "I didn't sssay you had a choice." Suddenly, a five foot long staff with two snakes wrapped around it appeared in his right hand. He then aimed the head of the staff at the ceiling, right above Eldor. He then looked right at him, still smiling his evil smile and said, "goodbye my old" he then said in a sarcastic tone of voice, "friend."
From his staff came two ghost like snake, each one striking the ceiling above Eldor. Within seconds large chunks of the ceiling crashing down towards the ancient man.
Seeing his impending doom, Eldor thought to himself, "Only one way out" and jumped into the swirling white mass inside the stone circle.
"NOOOOO" Hiss roared as he watched Eldor jump into portal just before the bolder sized pieces came crashing onto where The old man was standing, and also onto the stone circle, destroying it, and taking away the only source of light. Atleast it use to be, but not any more now that there was a large hole in ceiling thanks to his attack.
"Well" he said to acquaintances, "what are you foolsss waiting for, ssstart digging." The tone of his voice let them know not to question him, and that he wanted it done fast, and he wanted it done now.
"Where did you go" he said quitely threw his teeth. "No matter where you went I WILL find you and the SSStaff of Light, and when I do I WILL consssume your flesssh."
