Achronical Rising
The high commission was gathered in the great hall of the castle, or at least what was left of the castle. The battle with Meteora had taken its toll on the building, leaving walls with gaping holes in them, pillars reduced to rubble, and Star without a home.
"I would like to open up the castle to refugees, mewmans and monsters alike." Star declared to the Magical High Commission.
"Are you sure that's a good idea, mewmans hate monsters prin... I mean queen." Rhombulus chided.
Star couldn't continue this way. Everyone was acting as though her mom was dead. She knew Moon was out there, she was going to find her mother no matter what.
"Acting queen, my mother is not dead." Star reminded "And yes, I am sure. Both monsters and mewmans homes were ravaged and destroyed. Both need a place to stay."
"But my queen, I do not think the mewmans will take kindly to the fact that the one who destroyed all their homes was half monster. If they were not accepting before, they will definitely not be now." Hekapoo concluded.
"Might I remind the Magical High Commission that Meteora, whilst being half monster, was also half mewman!" Star corrected. "I have made up my mind, and what I decree is final. Marc… Squire. See to it that repairs on the castle be made first to the guest halls and kitchen. Then our refugees might have a place to sleep and eat." Star looked up to see Marco give her a nod of agreement, then a smile of comfort before he left the room.
Star didn't understand how much work and responsibility being queen was. She just wanted her mom to come home, she missed her. Her mom would know exactly what to do, Star was just a child what could she do.
Star sighed, "Meeting adjourned." With that she left the room.
After she was in the safety of her own room she beckoned a guard. "Send me my squire, he is needed immediately." Star needed her friend right now, she need Marco.
A short while later there was a knock at the door. "St...Star?" Marco's voice came through muffled and hesitant. A least someone wasn't calling her the queen.
"It's open." Star called out dejectedly. The door slowly creaked open, Marco entering even slower, as if not to upset her even more.
Star ran to Marco, enveloping him in a tight hug.
"It's okay Star. Everything is going to be okay." Marco soothed.
"No, it's not." Star sobbed. "My mom is gone, Mewni destroyed, I gave away my wand…"
"Star, you saved the kingdom. Because of you Meteora is no longer a threat." Marco said while rubbing her hair.
"I didn't do anything Marco!" Star wept, raising her head off of Marco's tear-stained shoulder. "Eclipsa defeated Meteora, I was just in the way."
"You can't be so hard on yourself Star. You did everything you could, Meteora use just too powerful. You don't have to take on the whole word, you know that right? You don't have to do everything yourself. I'm here for you Star."Marco assured her, while Star's eyes were glued to the floor. Marco grabbed Star's shoulder's.
"Look at me Star. Star look at me." Marco tilted her chin up with his hand so her gaze finally met his. "I'm here for you. Okay, I'm here, and I'm not leaving." Marco then pulled her into another hug.
When they finally separated, the two went and sat at the edge of Star's bed. Now that Star's head was a little clearer she could see just how much everything has been affecting Marco. His eyes were dark and heavy, his skin seemed to have lost its warmth. He was just as much of a mess as she was.
"Star?" Marco asked quietly.
"Mm. Yeah?" Star snapped out of her thoughts, her eyes meeting Marco's
"I think it's really cool what you're doing." Marco admitted.
"Whad'ya mean?" Star puzzled.
"Like for the monster's. I just think it's cool you are standing up for them."
"In a perfect world, we wouldn't have to. People would already accept them." She stated. It's true, in a perfect world monsters wouldn't have to have defenders. They could go to the market side by side with mewmans, and no one would care. That is all Star has wanted for so long, to fix the divide in Mewni. To heal the rift between mewmans and monsters, and because of that people only see her as another traitor to the throne. Another Eclipsa.
"Well this isn't a perfect world, but you still accept them. That is what makes you so impressive." Marco reasoned.
Star sighed, "Yeah, this isn't a perfect world, that's for sure."
