17.

Though Adam had initially seemed excited to learn that his dad was alive, now his face fell. She didn’t get it. This was good news, wasn’t it? If she’d thought Eldress was gone, not just lost, and someone told her they knew her mentor was alive, she’d have been deliriously happy. But things didn’t seem to be as clear-cut for the lost prince.

“That means he’s been in the dungeons all these years?” Adam said quietly.

Teela winced. Yeah, she guessed that wasn’t exactly how you might want to imagine your dad living. “I think so, yeah.” She smiled, trying to crack the tension. “But we can get to him. We’ll just break into the palace, talk to him, find the Sword of Power, you’ll get it and power up into He-Man, share the power, and then we can defeat Skeletor and save Eternia.”

Adam’s eyes got wider and wider the more she spoke. “The sword of what? He-who? And wait, I can’t fight King Skeletor! Is your head up in the stars? I would die! We would die! I’m not some sort of . . . of . . .”

“Hero?” she finished.

He nodded. “I’m not. I just want to help my dad.”

“Okay. Maybe one step at a time. We’ll start with breaking into the palace and making contact with the king. Or, erm, former king.”

Adam still seemed troubled, but he nodded in agreement.

This was going to be a lot harder than she thought. Even if the king did know where the sword was being kept, it would probably be heavily guarded, and they weren’t working with a lot in terms of fighting power. Adam’s abilities were basically none. And there was only so much she could do with magic. There was always the option to find this world’s version of herself and get her help, but at the end of the day, they would still need Adam to unlock the powers of Grayskull.

So just like she told him, they would take it one step at a time. Just the two of them for now.

Teela hopped on the Sky Sled and gestured to Adam. “Okay, get on.”

“We’re going already?!”

“Yes. It’s still daylight. By the time we get there it’ll be nighttime; that’s our best bet for getting inside.”

With a groan, Adam dragged himself to the sled.

“Do not puke on me,” Teela warned.

“I’ll do my best.”

Good enough.
