"The Staff of Light" Gary said confused, "what is the Staff of Light? Is it a weapon?"
"Yes it is" Endor answered, "but I know not why he wants it, for he can not access its power. No one has been able to for a thousand years."
"Why?"
"Because you must be the one who is destine to control its power. Even I cannot access its power."
"I guess so otherwise you wouldn't even be here right now, now would you" He asked with a short laugh.
With a short laugh Eldor replied, "Yes, you are correct about that."
"How do you know if somebody is destine to control the power inside the staff?"
"That I do not know either, but I am told that the one who is destine to control the power within the staff will feel that power course threw their body."
"So inother words if I touch it" he reached out and touch the flat of the spear head only to pull his hand back a split second later, "whoa, what was that?"
"What is it" Eldor asked, "did you feel something?"
"Yes" answered Gary, "I don't know what it was but it felt like, something."
"Can you describe it for me?"
"Well maybe, I don't know. It didn't feel like an electic shock. It felt like, like..."
"Like what, Gary?"
"Like something was going threw. It felt like every cell inside me was pumping with energy. It made me feel like I could run a thirty mile marathon at full speed the entire way and not kill over."
"Could he be" Eldor thought, "could he be the one person in the entire universe that can control the power of the Staff of Light?"
"Why did it do that" Gary asked.
"I do not know why" answered Eldor, "but perhaps, Gary could you please stand up for me?"
"Ok" he said and stood up, a little unsure.
"Please take the staff from me."
"Ok" he reach out and took the staff from Eldor, still feeling the same surge of power that he had when he had touched the staff before, only this time it was far greater. It wasn't painful. Infact it felt, plesant.
"Now with one hand raise the staff into the air and say magic and strength tempered by heart, I stand for peace!"
"Are you sure about this" he asked uncertain.
"I am sure" Eldor replied, trying to assure the young man.
"Ok here it goes."
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then opened them, raised the staff with his right hand and yelled, "Magic and strength tempered by heart", now he really felt the power surge threw out his entire body, lightning and a amazing pure white light formed all around his body, "I stand for peace!"
The transformation complete, Eldor now saw something, or someone, he had not seen in a millennium. There stood not Gary Glenn the nephew of Queen Marleena, but He-Ro, the most powerful sorcerer of Eternia.
With that Eldor could not help but smile. It had been a long time since he last saw this person.
"How" asked Gary, now He-Ro, pausing for a second because of the surprise of his now deeper, although still his, just deeper voice, "how could this have happen?"
"Perhaps it is not King Randor's linage that allows for one to access the powers of Grayskull, but that of Queen Marleena's."
"How is that possible"
"I do not know, but it is a mystrey I wish to solve"
He then looked down at his self getting a good look at his new form. His muscles were now bulging and he was a couple of inches taller. His clothes were gone, replaced with a gold piece of armor covering his chest and torso. Sitting on the center of his chest was large blue hexagon with a large red H within it. Draped over his back was a long red cape that went down to his knees. On his arms were a pair of silver colored bracers. Around his waist was red metal and a blue fur loin cloth. On his feet he wore a pair of golden colored boots that went up to his knees. He reached for his head and felt a metal head band going around his fore head. He then took the head band off and looked at it. It also looked like gold, much like the rest of the armor on his outfit. He replaced the head band and gave himself a good looking over once more. He then looked a Eldor an asked, "why aren't there any pants?"
Eldor could not help but laugh at that, he then looked at He-Ro with a smile on his face and said, "I do not know, that is the way that outfit has always been."
"I feel sorry for the poor fellow who wore this before, ofcourse its more than He-Man's outfit. Plus, I don't think I would look good in She-Ra outfit either."
"I suppose you would not now would you."
"May I ask you a question?"
"Ofcourse."
"He-Man and She-Ra are really Prince Adam and Princess Adora aren't they?"
"Yes but how did you figure it out?"
"You said it yourself when you said that perhaps the ability to access to powers of Grayskull didn't come from King Randor's family but from mine, and since they are my cousins..."
"I did say that did I not."
"Yes you did. So how do I change back?"
"Hold the staff like you did for transform into He-Ro and say peace has been restore."
"Thats it?"
"Thats it."
"Ok then." He held the staff into the air and said, " peace has been restored!"
Suddenly, the same white light and lightning that had transformed Gary into He-Ro was now transforming He-Ro back into Gary.
The transformation over, Gary lowered the staff to his side and said, "what a rush!"
"I suppose it was a 'rush'." Eldor replied, althourgh he did not know what Gary ment by that.
Gary then looked over to Eldor and asked, "you aren't going any where, are you?"
"Where would I go?"
"Good point." He then looked over his shoulder and then back to Eldor and said, "listen, I going to go home so I can tell my mother about you. I'll come back after dark and drive you into town, ok."
"That is fine with me Gary."
"Ok it's about two o'clock now. I'll come back around eight o'clock. Do you need any food or water?"
"No, I do not need food nor drink because I am immortal and do not hunger or thirst, but thank you asking."
"Ok then. I'll see you in six hours."
"Farewell my friend and thank you."
"Bye" and with that Gary turned around and began walking down the mountain path towards his jeep. While walking the only thing he could think to himself was, "I meet a thousand year old wise man from another planet and he gives me a magical staff that turns me into a super hero NAMED He-Ro. Now I might have to fight one of the most powerful and evil people from that planet. As if I didn't know enough weirdos. Now my life is going to get even weirder and alot more dangerous. This could be fun." And with a smile he continued to walk down the path.
