[edit] Summary
The Ilkorts, a tribe of monsters who are the mortal enemies of the bird-people of Avion, attack. In spite of He-Man's, Teela's and Man-at-Arms' resistance, they capture Delora, Stratos' wife. Skeletor uses this confusion to steal the Emerald Staff, Avion's most precious artifact, which enables the people to fly. Without it, they'll soon lose this ability. He-Man, Man-at-Arms, Teela and Stratos form a rescue squad to get both Delora free again and get the staff back. In Snake Mountain, the Ilkorts, Skeletor and several illusions await them. In addition, Skeletor summons Haramesh, a huge monster, using the power of the staff. He-Man's Power Sword unravels the illusions and Delora is free. Skeletor's demon proves to be too strong even for He-Man though. In the moment Stratos grabs the staff, Skeletor has loses its power and Haramesh is destroyed. Everything's returned to its/their rightful place.
[edit] Notes
It's difficult to define this minicomic as part of the mini-Eternia continuity or part of the later, most well-known continuity.
Details from Mini-Eternia:
- He-Man doesn't appear as Prince Adam.
- The story is drawn by Alfredo Alcala (penciller of most mini-Eternia stories).
- The story features only the basic Mini-Eternia characters.
Details from later canon:
- Avion is defined by name (in the "Mini-Eternia" early comics, Stratos just lived in a mountain).
- He-Man has the Power Sword.
- Battle Cat is able to speech (he talks in page 3. In the mini-Eternia stories, he couldn't talk).
