Very Important Author's Notes: Back for more!  I would like to take this time to thank all of those who reviewed the last chapter and dedicate this chapter you guys and gals!  I love you all!

I have recently been very busy with work and had to leave town for a while, but never fear! I have returned bearing a new chapter! I hope you all enjoy it because I'm not sure if I can get another chapter up during the next couple of days, but I will try my best, just for you guys and gals.

For those of you who are wondering where Cringer is, here's your answer:

Just before Adam was taken hostage, he told Cringer to go and find the Masters, which he did, and joined up with them.  Unfortunately, Cringer could not be carried into Grayskull with them, so, that's why he's not here now!  Hope that helps everyone a little! 

(What I'd like to know myself is, if they couldn't get Cringer up there, how the hell did Ramman get up there?!  I'd like to beat the author of this story over the her idiotic head with her comic book collection and ask her what the hell was she… oh, wait a second… I'm the author! … … …what the hell was I thinking?!)

Anywho, I hope you all will enjoy chapter four!  Please remember to review!  Reviewing helps me a great deal if you have suggestions for my story, so please do so!  Thanks so much!

Chapter IV: Curse You, and Your Little Cat, Too!
/or/
Teela, I am your Mother!





The Sorceress' Throne Room, Inside Castle Grayskull…

"Man-At-Arms and I are sorry that we had to keep this from you, but it was for your own protection as well as for the protection of Grayskull and Eternia," the Sorceress told Teela, as she slowly made her way over to the teenage girl, trying to ignore the pain from the attack on her by Skeletor's magic.*

"You know, too?" Teela asked shocked that someone else knew who her mother was, yet she was kept in the dark all her life. 

"Teela, I wish this could have taken place under more pleasant circumstances, but cannot wait any longer," the Sorceress said as she was only a few feet away form Teela and Man-At-Arms, "Your destiny will be revealing itself to you more rapidly during this battle, I'm afraid to say, that is why you must know the truth," she told her sadly.

"You don't mean what I think you do," man-At-Arms cautiously questioned the Sorceress while a heart-broken look etched his aging features.

"I am sorry, Duncan, for it is time she knew," she spoke once more and turned to look at Teela.

"What is going on?" Teela asked, becoming it incredibly more irritated by the lack of information that she was receiving.

The Sorceress smiled at her before she started her story, "When I was younger, I met your father," she looked to Duncan then returned her gaze to Teela, "At that time, I had just begun my role as the Sorceress of Grayskull and I was told that I needed and heir, someone to take on the responsibilities of Grayskull when I no longer could," she paused so the information she had given Teela could sink in before she begun again, " and overalls stated, and still state, that the sorceress of Grayskull is not to become emotionally, or physically, involved with anyone while are under guardianship of Grayskull, with one exception, to produce and heir," she paused once more.

"So, why are you telling me…?" Teela stopped and took a step back as it all clicked, "No… you don't mean…?"

Yes, Teela, I do. My true name is Teelina," she said, "Teela, I am your mother."




The Bowels of Castle Grayskull…  


" Wh-what do y-you mean?" Adam asked Skeletor for, knowing full well what was coming next.

"You did an excellent job of making everyone think you were at coward for so long. I really am impressed that you could deceive so many people for so long, your highness," Skeletor sneered at the young man that he had bound to the pillars that supported the castle above them, "If you have not yet figured out by now that I am aware of your 'deep connection' with He-Man, then I am sorely disappointed with you, Adam," he mocked as he delivered another crushing blow to the young prince's gut.

"What ar-are you talking about," Adam feigned ignorance.

"You know exactly what I am talking about, Prince Adam," he answered back, not wishing to continue this game any longer, "or should I say…  He-Man."

Prince Adam's eyes grew wide at what he had just heard.  He knows, he knows… His mind kept repeating those two words over and over, and like a broken record… he knows… 






The Sorceress' Throne Room, Inside Castle Grayskull…

"You are my mother?" Teela said still not fully out of her state of shock.

"Yes, I am, and you have so much to learn, but I feared there is not enough time," She looked the Masters that were assembled around her, "Grayskull and Eternia may have already fallen…"
