Synopsis for "The Blood of Grayskull, Part Two"

Hoping to slip into Althra Port and get a ship to the forbidden island of Anway-Gar, He-Man and Adora must first sneak past all of the Horde guards keeping sentry over what is now a part of Hordak's Fright Zone.

As they hide from the Horde, Adora explains that when she was Despara, she learned that the Fright Zone was designed to consume. Just as Hordak consumed Etheria, he intends to consume Eternia. Hordak feed off of the fear of Hordak's conquered, spawning a Fright Zone that spreads across the planet like a cancer and corrupts the land itself. They witness Eternians trapped in cages, fuelling the Fright Zone's continued expansion. While Adam wants to free them, Adora warns that it would blow their cover to do so. Though he regrets looking on this horror and doing nothing Adam must admit that it is more important to get to Anwat-Gar. What they find there may help them win the war.

At Adam's urging, Adora reluctantly explains that the prisoners are fed upon. Hordak absorbs their souls and increases his own power. Some believe that he is an agent of entropy and plays a natural role in the end of all things - ugly as that truth may be. Hearing this, Adam refuses to stand by and let the prisoners die, whether he will blow their cover or not. Righteously, he raises his sword high over his head, and calls on the power of Grayskull.

The Horde is immediately upon them, but Adam's power as He-Man is great, battling like a majestic god. As he cuts the horde down with only Battle Cat at his side, he calls out to Adora to free the prisoners. By the time she has done so, Adam has destroyed the entire Horde population at Althra Port. Rallying the people, he sends Battle Cat to lead the freed back to Snake Mountain and safety.

Adam apologizes for diverging from the plan, but Adora understands. Suddenly, his sword begins to glow, and he declares that it must be a warning. The ground rips open at their feet, and a void opens up, threatening to swallow them. Adora warns that the land has been corrupted by the Fright Zone already. The land is trying to kill them.

As the gap threatens to consume them, they are surprised when one of the creatures Adora had freed returns for them. As they ride the winged horse onward, an apparition of Teela appears in the clouds, and urges them onward to Anwat-Gar. She warns, though, that the island will test them in ways they cannot imagine. Its secrets do not wish to be discovered.
