High among the peaks of the Mystic
Mountains lay the beautiful land of Avian. The
people of Avion had the power of flight, and the
most skilled of all in the air was their leader.
Stratos. Stratos had many times helped He-Man
and his friends in their fight against evil. And
because of this he had made a deadly enemy of
Skeletor, Lord of Destruction. At length Skeleror
decided to punish Stratos. He knew, however,
8/6/2019 Masters of the Universe Wings of Doom Ladybird)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/masters-of-the-universe-wings-of-doom-ladybird 7/48
that Stratos was clever and brave. Only by a
trick could the Lord of the Air be lured into
Skeletor's clutches.
Skeletor knew that Stratos had a lovely wifecalled Delora. H she were in danger, nothing
would stop Stratos coming to her aid. Too late,
Stratos would discover that he had walked into a
trap.
Skeletor called for one of his slaves and gave
him instructions for the kidnapping of Delara.

In the warm early morning sunshine, Delara
stood on the balcony of her home. Far below lay
the peaceful Avion countryside. Suddenly a
speck appeared in the sky. High above the
mountain peaks it grew steadily bigger. Was it a
messenger seeking Stratos?
Delora strained her eyes to see. Too late she
realised that it was not one of Stratos' people. It
was not even human. Itwas a giant winged
reptile, a wyvern, one of the evil creatures in the
service of Skeletor, Lord of Destruction.
The wyvern circled above the; house, its long
neck swaying from side co side as it searched for
its prey. Then, with a loud screech the winged
monster swooped down in a powerful dive.
Delara ran for the door leading into the
building. The wyvern sailed across the balcony,
seized her in its talons, and in a moment was
winging its way back across the mountains
before she could utter a single cry.

High in the chill air the wyvem soared. Soon
the Mystic Mountains lay far behind. Ahead,
grey snow clouds showed where the Ice
Mountains towered above the bleak northern..lands of Eternia.
A gap appeared in the snow clouds. The
wyvem with its burden made for the gap, and
Delara felt a gust of warm air. But the air was
foul and evil-smelling. It rose from the surfaceof a volcanic lake which boiled and bubbled far
below. The snow-covered mountains surrounded
tbe lake. A barren island lay in its centre. On

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/masters-of-the-universe-wings-of-doom-ladybird 11/48
the crags surrounding the lake scores of wyverns
perched, their leathery wings folded. They were
the fierce sentinels of the lake.
The wyvern carrying Delara glided over the
island and put her down on the gravel shore.
In Snake Mountain, Skeletor rubbed his
bands with satisfaction as he sent a message to
Stratos:
"YOUR WIFE WILL BE RETURNED
SAFELY TO AV10N IF YOU SURRENDER
YOURSELF INTO MY POWER."

Straws was with his friends, He-Man, Teela
and Man-at-Arms in Castle Grayskull when he
received Skeletor's message.
"I must go to Snake Mountain immediately!"
he cried. "There's no knowing what might
happen to Delara if I do not agree to Skelcror's
terms!"
"No," said He-Man. "\Ve cannot trustSkeletor to free Delara even if you do give
yourself up. That way we shall achieve nothing.
We must match cunning with cunning. Our first

task is to discover where Delora is held prisoner.
We shall meet here again tomorrow. Before
then I hope that Iwill have learned more of
Skeletor's evil plot."Leaving the castle on Battle-Cat, He-Man set
off at speed for the royal palace of Eternia.
In a grove of trees close to the palace he
dismounted, and became Prince Adam. With
Battle-Cat also transformed into the cowardly
Cringer he strolled through the gates.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/masters-of-the-universe-wings-of-doom-ladybird 14/48
As gentle Prince Adam, He-Man lost no time
working out a rescue plan. In the top-most
turret of the royal palace were stored ancient
books and maps. In them was all (he knowledgeand wisdom of the Kingdom of Eternia. Here
was perhaps a clue to Skeletor's hiding place for
his prisoner. Only a creature of the air could
have snatched Delara from her balcony. Skeletor
had many evil winged things at his command.
Griffins, harpies and wyverns were the biggest
and most powerful. But they all lived within the
depths of the Evergreen Forest. far from Avian.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/masters-of-the-universe-wings-of-doom-ladybird 15/48
In an ancient scroll there were pictures of
wyverns. They were perched among the crags of
the lee Mountains. Was that where Delora was
held prisoner?
At that moment a shadow fell on the scroll.
At the open window hovered a giant falcon. It
was Zoar, messenger of the Sorceress.
In his mind Prince Adam heard the voice ofthe Sorceress:
"DELORA IS GUARDED BY EVIL
WYVERNS IN THE VALE OF CALDOR."
8/6/2019 Masters of the Universe Wings of Doom Ladybird)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/masters-of-the-universe-wings-of-doom-ladybird 16/48
Prince Adam looked again at the scroll. Now
he saw that it was a sort of map. And in the
centre of the mountains was a spot marked: The
Vale of Caldor. It lay many miles to the north.There was not a moment to lose. He turned to
the window, but Zoar had gone.
Hurrying- from the turret with the scroll,
Prince Adam went to his private chamber.
Holding high the Sword of Power he cried:"BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!"
And a moment later he was speeding towards
Castle Grayskull as He-Man.
8/6/2019 Masters of the Universe Wings of Doom Ladybird)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/masters-of-the-universe-wings-of-doom-ladybird 17/48
In the council chamber of the castle. He-Man
snowed his friends the ancient scroll and told
them of the Sorceress' message. Quickly a plan
was made.
In order to draw Skeletor's attention. Stratos
agreed to pretend to surrender to the Lord of
Destruction. Meantime, He-Man, Teela and
Man-at-Arms would travel in the wind raider to
the lee Mountains on a rescue mission.

As the Masters of the Universe were about to
set out, Stratos handed He-Man a ring. "There
are only two of these rings on the planet," he
said. "Delora has the other. They glow in each
other's presence and will help you to find her."
And while Stratos flew off towards Snake
Mountain and the lair of Skeletor, He-Man set
the wind raider on course for the Ice Mountains.
As they landed on the foothills He-Man said,
"The wind raider will find it difficult to cross
those peaks with a full load. We must seek a
pass or some other route to the Vale of Caldor."
As he spoke, a voice rang out and a .figure
appeared on a high rock.
"HALT! WHO TRAVELS IN THESE HILLS?
DO YOU COME AS FRIENDS OR ENEMIES?"

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/masters-of-the-universe-wings-of-doom-ladybird 19/48
"That is one of the dwarfs," said Man-at-
Arms. "They are good friends of mine. They
mine much of the rare metal I need for making
weapons.
Man-at-Arms stood up and waved, and a
crowd of dwarfs poured out from among the
rocks and surrounded the wind raider.
8/6/2019 Masters of the Universe Wings of Doom Ladybird)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/masters-of-the-universe-wings-of-doom-ladybird 20/48
Laughing and chattering to each other the
dwarfs gathered round the Masters of the
Universe.A slightly taller dwarf stepped forward, and
Man-at-Arms cried, "Trag, myoId friend! That
was a fine load of metal you sent me last time."
"We dig nothing but the finest," replied
Trog. "Who are your companions and what areyou doing in these pans?"
Quickly Man-at-Arms explained who He-Man
and Teela were. Then he told Trag. who was
leader of the dwarfs, about their rescue bid.

Through the ~wisting, winding tunnels the

They left the lake, and were just approaching

screaming mass of dark shapes sprang out of the
