NOTE/DISCLAIMER: Right, so I think this requires a little bit of explaining (especially to those few people who read my other fics, because don't worry I'll get back to those soon enough). So this is 35 chapter story that I've been posting on Reddit under a challenge (that I made up for myself) called the Terrible Fanfic series. A series where every day I would sit down and write a single chapter of fanfic disregarding planning, grammar, punctuation, and so on just to see what crazy stuff comes out of my brain. Now that I've finished writing all 35 chapters, I figured I'd go back and clean up those chapters and post it here for you to enjoy. Also another thing: I started writing this story before the premiere of the episode Scent of a Hoodie.


You must aspire to be like her.

Everybody told her.

"Come now, Princess," Glossaryck said. "You shouldn't keep your mother waiting."

"It's so strange to hear you talk like this Glossy. Cut it out."

"Well I just can't help it now can I? After all, your mother has put me in charge of you and your training. So it is my job to make sure that you are prepared for whatever challenges you may face when the time comes."

"That doesn't sound like the Glossaryck I know," she said. "The Glossaryck I know is a lazy bum who only knows how to sit around, eat pudding and pick his toes all day."

"Ha-ha, would you then prefer me to not sit around all day eating pudding and picking my toes? Would you prefer me to be like your mother? Overbearing, strict and emotionless?"

"Fair point," the Princess sighed.

"Ha-ha, come on Eclipsa, I'm not going to enjoy this anymore than you do so might as well get it over with."

They wanted Eclipsa to be just like her. Her mother was just like her, and her mother before that as well.

That was pretty much what you get when you single-handedly save an entire nation by slicing through any monster you see on the battlefield. Solaria was a monster, a savage, a brute and perhaps even a little crazy.

But... she was also a hero.

They approached the gate to the throne room. Eclipsa took one deep breath, praying to the stars. She hated these meetings, but she was also frightened of them. But there was no other way around it. Only thing left to do now was enter.

Her mother sat there on the throne. Just like Queen Solaria.

"Hello... mother."

The woman's eyes were sharp. Glaring down both Eclipsa and Glossaryck. You wouldn't be able to tell at first but there was this certain sense of danger behind those empty pupils. Eclipsa could feel it even from afar.

"Glossaryck... how is my daughter's training coming about?"

"Smoothly, your Majesty." Glossaryck said.

"Good. So I assume then that everything is prepared for tomorrow's journey to Lady Hekapoo's realm of Fire?"

"What is there to prepare?" Glossaryck asked. "We have dimensional scissors, getting there is like walking all the way from here to that door over there."

"Then I expect nothing but satisfactory results from my Eclipsa's training. Is that clear?"

"Yes... your Majesty."
