"You appear unharmed" Eldor said to Gary, as he approached the jeep, having transformed himself back from He-Ro.
"I had the element of surprise on them" Gary replied. "Mostly the surprise of seeing someone they thought was dead for a very long time."
"I suppose that would be a surprise to them, or any one for that matter."
"It won't be as easy next time."
"You are correct about that Gary."
"Fortunately I have friends here that will help me fight them."
"That is good to know, but I do not think it would be wise to put others in danger" Eldor said as he opened the door, sat down on the seat, and shut the door.
"I know that" as Gary did same as Eldor and turned on the engine, "but the way I figure it, the snake men will put other people in danger anyways, atleast this way I can bring in some people who know how to fight." After saying that he began driving off.
"Hmm, I can see the logic in that, and the snake men will come down and attack the area."
"Yeah, and I can't let that happen. I may be able to fight them all, but I may not be able to find them all if they decide to split up. Plus you know what they say, safety in numbers."
"That is true, in most cases, but not if those people are fighting one very powerful being."
"Thats why I'm the one who will fight the very powerful being."
"You should not be so arrogant Gary" Eldor told him intone of voice that almost sounded angry, "King Hiss is much more intelligence than you think. Your next battle, and there will be a next battle, will not be as easy."
"I know, thats why I'm heading home and getting some sleep. Its been a long day, for the both of us really, and I will need my rest for my next battle with Hiss."
They drove on for ten minutes when Eldor asked Gary, "How many people know you are He-Ro?"
"The five friends willing to help me out and my mother."
"That is to many people who know you are He-Ro."
"Well how many people know who He-man and She-Ra really are, besides you and me?"
Eldor remained silent.
"Well, how many" Gary asked, annoyed that he was getting the cold shoulder.
"Nine others."
"Nine others" Gary said, now even more annoyed. "You complain that I told five people who could help us and the one person that I felt needed to know, yet nine people know that He-Man and She-Ra are really my cousins."
"I can see your point in the matter."
"You should, otherwise I would seriously have to question why the other elders choose you to be the head of their council" he said with a little smile on his face.
Eldor could not help but laugh a little at that, "Yes I suppose so."
Changing the subject, Gary asked, "How did this get started, with the snake men chasing you I mean?"
"They found my chamber in Subeternia. I am not sure how but they did. They demanded the Staff of Light, but I refused to give it to them. They tried to attack me but I launched a light spell, blinding them for a few seconds. I then ran into a hidden passage way and escaped into the Vine jungle, with the snake men following me close behind. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw the Temple of Gaia. I went in and found the portal. You know the rest."
"Yeah, well, welcome to Earth."
"Thank you."
They drove on for another ten minutes before driving into the driveway of wide, one story raunch house with a two car garage. Gary pressed a button on the dash broad of his jeep and one of the doors on the garage began to lift up. They drove in and there inside was a shorter red car that had edges that were smooth and rounded.
"Interesting looking vehicale you have over there." Eldor said.
"Thanks" Gary replied "its call a Ford Taurse."
"What a very interesting name" Eldor commented.
"Yeah but its also very popular to. Alot of people have them." He walked over to the door to enter the house, turned to nob and said, "Come on in and meet my mom."
Eldor walked over and said, "I look forwad to it."
And so Gary opened the door and the two walked inside.
