Chapter 5
Prince Adam walked along the long corridor to the medical chambers of the Royal Palace. He soon reached the room to which the Trusting Shepherd was admitted.
"He is waking up," Duncan informed.
The Trusting Shepherd's eyes slowly opened as he rubbed his face. "What has happened to me? Where am, Man-At-Arms?"
"I am sorry I frightened you so back at your farm my friend," Duncan said compassionately.
"I remember... I think I remember..."
"I asked you about-"
"No! Do not speak the name. It will trigger the curse."
"What curse?" a curious Adam asked.
"Ages ago my mind was subject to great torture. That is all I know. And only one word activates that curse... a word you must not utter in my presence... please..."
Abruptly, an image of the Sorceress appeared in the room. "Bring him to Grayskull."
"Will you come with us, Shepherd?" asked Man-At-Arms.
"I have lived a long life. My past few years on this planet blessed me with a kind and simple life. If I can help in anyway, I feel obliged to do just that. I will follow you to the castle."
