"Star" it echoed out of the pitch-black void that was Star Butterfly's exhausted slumber.
"Star" it sounded similar and warm like her mother's, "Star." She was jostled softly. It couldn't have been her mother as they had fought earlier that day following the event of the party. Star had frustratingly cried herself asleep.
"Star" it became loud enough for her to recognize the voice now and she rolled over to acknowledge her.
"Eclipsa?" Star murmured as she opened her eyes to a still cool as ice Eclipsa, "What's wrong?" the teenager asked with concern. "I heard a guard rumoring that my trial is coming quickly."
"Oh no. Do you know when?" Star sat up and rubbed her puffy eyes as Eclipsa kept a warm hand on Star's shoulder, while she held a sleeping Glossaryck in her other arm. She was dressed in her night attire, but her hair ever so slightly ruffled.
"I'm not certain, but my nerves tell me I need help." Eclipsa sighed without appearing frazzled or unnerved. "Oh, I can't. My Mother and I are-" Star murmured weakly as tears glazed her blue eyes. Eclipsa quickly hushed her "I'm not asking that of you, Dear. I'm asking for your squire's scissors. I need to find my Marco to pled my case." She said quickly and warmly which made Star pat Eclipsa's hand before sliding out of her bed.
Star took a deep breath as she transformed at will into her golden butterfly form. Eclipsa's face looked proud as she looked up at Star as she got off the bed "Marvelous." Eclipsa awed before telling Star the location of where she last saw her best friend over 300 years ago.
They arrived in the Underworld's Castle Garden; the flowers where different shades of warm colors with few blue and black species, but all of them in a constant state of being on fire and burning brightly.
Eclipsa smiled as Star reverted to her normal form to marvel at the flowers, Eclipsa quickly held Glossaryck up with both hands and kissing his gem on his head. It began to glow as he awoke as he groaned.
"Be a dear and find Lucy. You remember her, yes?" Eclipsa whispered softly as Glossaryck looked up at her. Star was slightly startled by the sight as she now had a feeling like something was wrong.
"Who is-" Star began to ask before Glossaryck leaped from Eclipsa's arms and hurried off into a maze with a gazebo at the center.
"Who is Lucy!?" Star shouted as she followed Eclipsa while they ran through the maze. Eclipsa looked whimsical as she giggled while they ran wildly "My closest friend, Lucy Lucitor." She answered as they arrived to the black decaying gazebo.
"Lucitor?" Star huffed as she gasped for breath, Eclipsa sat atop a bench next to a blood red statue in the shape of a woman with a heart shaped gem encrust on her chest. Glossaryck hopped into Eclispa's lap and she stroked him lovingly as if he were cat and the magical being even purred.
"Eclipsa, I need answers-" Star began, but once again was interrupted. Eclipsa praised Glossaryck as she held him again "Globgor!" he cheered and she pulled on his arm and hand to place it on the gem. "
Globgor?" "Eclipsa!" the two said before they were hit with the loud flash of heat. The loud bang gave way to a woman's pained shrieking.
Star's head buzzed as the blurry slowly revealed the statue had turned into a woman; Glosaryck was now limp beside Star and Eclipsa was hugging this strange woman once the shrieking stopped. Star pulled Glossaryck close to her before she blacked out.
