The World that Could Have Been

by Mal Masque

A month has passed since Meteora's defeat and Queen Moon's disappearance, and now Star has temporarily assumed the throne, trying to piece together a divided Mewni. During times of strife, many look towards the legends of old, but one in particular from the war-torn past may come forth, in the form of a Silver Knight. (Set one month after Season 3)

1. Legend of the Silver Knight

... And so too did Mewman-kind face a terrible onslaught of monsters.

After the siege of Castle Skava, the Monsters struck back against the Mewman army twentyfold, seemingly ever without number. When one was cut down, three more would take its place in their horrific horde. The Royal Army was forced to withdraw, as the fierce leader of the Monsters, Gabaloth the Foul, set upon the soldiers and knights with foul curses that sapped their strength and made them easy prey for the hated Monsters. It was only with the might and righteous fury of the great Queen Solaria, the Monster Carver, that Mewmanity stood a chance, but even she could not last against the unending tide of Monsters. Soon, hope did arrive to save the Mewman forces and turn the tide of battle. Amidst a crusade against the Monsters in the Southern Swamps, Queen Solaria discovered a prisoner of the Monsters, a giant of a knight adorned in fantastical silver armor, carrying with him a tremendous sword of light and an unbreakable towering shield, smithed by no hands of this world. Upon being freed by Queen Solaria, the Silver Knight swore fealty to the Queen and gave her his aid in the battles against the Monster menace. No warrior before Queen Solaria had ever been as powerful or as wise as the Silver Knight, every battle this giant of an armored man fought in, victory was ever assured, as he performed incredible feats of magic without aid of a wand; tossing gouts of blue flames from his hands and unleashing storms of lightning from his very fingertips. Thousands of Monsters fell by the score between the combined efforts of Queen Solaria and the Silver Knight, finally bringing the war to the end by slaying the dreaded Gabaloth within his own putrid fortress of Nar-ghull. With victory declared and the Monsters driven back into the dark holes from whence they came, Queen Solaria proclaimed a celebration in honor of the Silver Knight, the Feast of Silver. Three days after the conclusion of the battle, the Silver Knight took his leave, disappearing into the Monster lands and telling Queen Solaria that "His Eternal Crusade was unfinished". A monument to the Silver Knight was created by Queen Solaria in the Mewni Castle in the Royal Gardens, and his legend has been recorded into the eternal records of Mewman History as "The Legend of the Silver Knight"...
