ITALIC: THOUGHS
Galaxia Butterfly hated her ability.
Most envied her 'gift', saying that it must have been a blessing to have the ability to see the future and the past.
For Galaxia, she considered it a curse.
After all, what is the use of her 'gift' if she cannot truly change the fates of her family for the better? Her gift to see through the curtains of time is useless if she is not allowed to change events that would truly bring positive change to the universe.
Galaxia did not consider her gift as a blessing.
Her gift is a curse that is difficult to have and to bare.
That said, a curse still has its uses.
Before anyone was aware, Galaxia already knew that her cousin Eclipsa took a monster for a lover.
Honestly, Galaxia did not blame her cousin for taking a monster to her bed. Shastacan Spiderbite is a swine of a man. She did not know why her Aunt Solaria was so hellbent in having the man marry into the family, even if its for diplomacy purposes.
Be that as it may though, Eclipsa did not think her plans through, something that Galaxia expected from her willful cousin.
Galaxia loves her cousin Eclipsa. Regardless of everything that happened, Galaxia still loves her cousin.
That is why she held onto the bundle of flesh that contain the only child of her cousin Eclipsa.
Galaxia knew the fates that awaits the child if she did not act.
Meteora would not allow a half-monster to carry their blood, and Festivia would go along with whatever Meteora deigns to be necessary.
Galaxia loves all of her cousin, but there is a reason why her favourite cousin was Eclipsa and why she loved Festivia the least.
Galaxia was special, even among the family that produces gifted magic users. She can see through the future and the past. She can see what had been and what would be. Due to this ability, she has certain privileges with magical beings that governs time itself.
That is why she was able to enter the Plains of Time without much problems.
And there to greet her was the family's magic tutor and the one being that had guided their entire family to prosperity.
"My Queen," Glossaryck greeted the white haired woman.
Galaxia, for her part, merely smiled at the magical being. "So you already know what would happen next?" Galaxia said bitterly.
Glossaryck could only nod. "What I know, you are already aware."
"The Council of Three Queens." Galaxia stated disdainfully.
Glossaryck nodded once more. "It's more work for me, but it is only for a short while."
Galaxia sighed before looking at the child in her arms. "You know what must be done?" Galaxia inquired tiredly.
Galaxia wanted to rest. In fact, she should be resting.
She had not yet fully recovered from her battle with Eclipsa. No one has.
Eclipsa had always been a vindictive bitch, Galaxia knows this better than anyone. Eclipsa may have acted like a child at times and she was compulsive to the point of reckless, but her talent in magic is undeniable.
Eclipsa is a force of her own.
It took her, Meteora, and Festivia and the rest of the Magical High Commission working together just to taker her and her monster lover down, and Eclipsa didn't even use the Royal Wand to decimate them.
Eclipsa earned her title as the Queen of Darkness. She proved once and for all why she was the closest to their Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmother Helia the Power of Light in terms of magical power and skill.
Globgor also took his pound of flesh before dying.
It was a tough battle. Galaxia still felt aches throughout her body, mind, and soul while Meteora and Festivia were still bedridden, as the two took the brunt of the damage from Eclipsa. Not to mention that all of the members of the MHC are still regenerating in the Magic Sanctuary.
In Galaxia's mind, the only reason Eclipsa lost the fight is because she lost her will to live when Globgor perished during battle.
Which is the reason for her current dilemma.
Lifting the bundle in her arms, Galaxia revealed a baby boy to the magical being. He has brown eyes with slitted pupils, a small patch of curly dark brown hair, clawed fingers and toes, pale red-tipped ears, and a thin dark tan tail with a plume of light brown fur. The boy also has a mole on his right cheek, together with the two crescent moon-shaped emblems on his cheeks.
Glossaryck looked at the half-mewman, half-monster child before smiling. "This boy would either usher Mewni to a new era of peace and prosperity or he would destroy the universe." Glossaryck said with a bemused voice as he looked at Galaxia right in the eye. "Are you willing to make that gamble?" Glossaryck inquired curiously.
Galaxia was special due to her ability to see through time. She had prevented wars with her ability, and she had also orchestrated deaths of people to maintain peace in Mewni. Galaxia is a kindhearted woman, but she was not beneath doing heinous crimes to maintain peace and to safeguard Mewni.
Galaxia never takes gambles that does not yield positive results.
Galaxia nodded resolutely. "The only crime my cousin committed is abandoning her duty to the Kingdom, a duty that she had willingly given away to her younger sister Meteora. Cousin Eclipsa did not commit a crime that warranted death. She fell in love. She found a better man than the one that Aunt Solaria forced her to marry. I do not fault her for following her heart. That would have made a hypocrite out of me." Galaxia smiled at the thought of her husband, Condor Redbird. She was the love of her life and she was blessed that she was able to follow her heart. She cannot hate Eclipsa for doing the same.
Galaxia looked at the child in her arms. Though the boy was half-monster and his coloring was not that of a common Butterfly, Galaxia could still see a touch of Eclipsa on the slumbering child's features.
Galaxia smiled at the child. "I cannot allow this child to perish due to the prejudice of our people towards monsters and their perception towards his parents."
"And if the child turned dark and destroy the universe?" Glossaryck pressed.
"He won't…" Galaxia insisted.
"There are possibilities of which the child will bring the Flames of the Sky to torch the Universe itself." Glossaryck pointed out.
"And there are equal number of possibilities that he would wield those Flames to bring peace and fortune to Mewni." Galaxia stated offering the child to Glossaryck. "He just needed to be in the correct era."
Glossaryck looked at the child for another second before casually levitating the child to his side. "Very well." Glossaryck conceded. "I shall indulge you with this, My Queen."
Galaxia smiled in thanks. "You know the place and time in which to place the child, is that correct?"
Glossaryck nodded.
"Good, good." Galaxia whispered in relief before preparing to summon a portal out of the Plains of Time.
"If he returns to Mewni as Sirius Butterfly, the Universe would burn." Glossaryck stated nonchalantly.
Galaxia stopped walking before throwing Glossaryck an assuring smile. "He will return to Mewni as Marco Diaz. He will take pride in the name that his mother gave him, but he would wear his other name till his dying breath. He will learn to live and cherish his blood and heritage. He will wield the power of the sky to bring harmony to this universe."
"He will also take to bed your descendant, as well as the descendant of Queen Meteora and Queen Festivia, whether they be willing or nor."Glossaryck added as an afterthought.
"Those three would take him as their husband, which would in turn bring peace to all three of them and would allow the primary blood of our dynasty to once again run into the veins of the Butterfly family." Galaxia turned her attention away from Glossaryck and towards the portal. "I will take this gamble. Whether it would lead to destruction or prosperity, I'll carry the possibilities upon my shoulders." With those parting words, Galaxia walked into the portal.
The portal closed, leaving Glossaryck alone with the now conscious child.
The Son of Eclipsa turned his attention to Glossaryck, gaggling baby words while the ancient being of magic merely rolled his eyes.
"Being dramatic runs in the family." Glossaryck said offhandedly. "So, you want to go to Earth? Three hundred years from now, it is a good place to live in."
Meteora the Relentless, the youngest daughter of Solaria the Monster Carver and the little sister of the recently deceased Eclipsa, stomped towards the dining hall of the Butterfly Castle, her emerald eyes burning with murder.
The servants within the castle threw themselves out of her way. They knew that the auburn hair Princess – Queen now – has a temper, and when she's throwing a temper tantrum, it made her more dangerous than usual.
Reaching the dining hall, Meteora did not even allow the Guards to open the door for her. She kicked the door open, startling those who were having their breakfast.
Meteora did not care and merely scanned the room for her cousin Galaxia.
Seeing a familiar set of white hair, Meteora stomped her way towards her cousin, only to have herself be held within sword point by the husband of her elder cousin.
Meteora stopped and looked at Condor Redbird with an annoyed expression. "I suggest you removed that sword off of my neck before I used it to remove the limb that allows you to be in my cousin's company." Meteora threatened with a glare.
Condor did not flinched and merely narrow his eyes at one of the new Queens of Mewni. "I'll remove my sword if you calm yourself. I am not comfortable having you near Galaxia with your current mood."
Meteora's glare intensified as she reached for Condor's sword.
Before anything regretful could happen, Galaxia coughed loudly, catching the attention of her husband and cousin.
It also made those in the dining hall to breath in relief.
Galaxia Butterfly was well known in keeping the household safe and intact from the destructive tendency of her family.
Galaxia did not rose to her feet but her voice was carried throughout the hall. "Leave us." Galaxia ordered.
Immediately, the guards and the servants in the room vacated the vicinity, but Condor remained as he regarded his wife with a nervous look.
Galaxia smiled at her husband before nodding in assurance.
Condor let out a sigh before walking towards Galaxia. A planting a loving kiss on her cheek, Condor also left the room, though he did throw a warning glare at Meteora's direction.
Meteora just rolled her eyes at the man. Like he could take her. "Cousin, please control your throne candy."
"May I ask why you are so angry this morning?" Galaxia asked cordially.
Meteora glared down at her cousin, but there was less heat in her eyes. "Where is the half-monster spawn?"
"Taken care of." Galaxia answered emotionlessly.
Meteora was taken aback by that answer. "What?!"
Galaxia sighed despondently as tears fell down her eyes, her gazed shifting outside. "You and Festivia would put that child to the sword one way or the other, and would likely desecrate his body to send a message to our people. I merely granted the babe a more painless and mewmane end. It was the least I could do considering half the blood that flows in his veins."
Meteora was shocked at what her cousin told her but it was short live as she took Galaxia in her arms. "You should not have done that. Erasing that stain in our family should have fallen to me. Eclipsa was my sister after all." Meteora said in her most comforting tone.
Galaxia was a pacifist. In most cases, she hated violence and prefers the diplomatic approached instead of the violent once.
"You've already killed Eclipsa. I will not allow you to shed the blood of her son. I will not allow you to end another Butterfly." Galaxia stated with a teary voice.
"That abomination was not family." Meteora growled angrily but she still held Galaxia in her arms.
Galaxia pulled back a little to stare sternly at her cousin, causing Meteora to stiffen. "Regardless of your view of the baby's legitimacy, he deserves a mewmane death, instead of what you intended to do to him." Galaxia scolded her bloodthirsty cousin.
"Whatever." Meteora sighed but she conceded. Meteora loved Galaxia. Everybody in the family loves Galaxia. She was the Butterfly family favorite child. If it were not for the fact that Eclipsa was the eldest, Meteora would have happily handed the crown to the clairvoyant if her mother handed the crown to her.
It would have save the family the headache that her elder sister cause.
Meteora slowly release her cousin from her embrace before sitting besides her. "The Magic High Commission wants to schedule a meeting." Meteora informed her cousin tiredly, moving on to the other important topic.
Although she wanted nothing more than to personally erase the stain in her family's bloodline, there are more important matters to be discuss.
Due to the debacle that her older sister cause, the MHC was now going to get involve in the affairs of Mewni, something that frustrated her.
"Are we still going ahead with the Council of Three Queens?" Galaxia inquired with an equally exhausted voice.
Meteora nodded. "I will handle the Military of our Kingdom. Festivia would handle the State. You handle the Judiciary and the Treasury."
"We still need to determine the limitation and the balance of each Queen." Galaxia pointed out, causing Meteora to groaned in annoyance. She was not a stateswoman. "Where is Festivia?"
"Unconscious and drunk off her ass." Meteora answered dismissively.
"Then we wait for her to wake before meeting with the Magical High Commission." Galaxia stated in finality. "Have you eaten yet, Meteora?"
"I'll past, cousin." Meteora rose to her feet before carefully wiping the remaining tears off her cousin's cheeks. "I'll need to find my idiot husband. I need to make sure that I have not rusted during my days in bed rest."
Galaxia nodded amiably. "Give my regards to Norse."
Meteora snorted derisively. "You are too kind to that imbecile." Meteora then offered an apologetic look towards Galaxia. "I apologize for my earlier behaviour, Cousin Galaxia."
"You are forgiven, Cousin Meteora." Galaxia said with a gentle smile.
Meteora returned the smile with one of her own before leaving her cousin to finish her breakfast.
When Meteora was outside earshot, Galaxia spoke once more.
"Is it done?"
"Yes." Glossaryck answered as he appeared besides the white haired Queen. "Time will only tell if the King of the Sky will bring peace or destruction."
"Fortunately, I have three hundred years to prepare for either outcome." Galaxia said as she raised her hand and wrote three names in the air. "Hopefully, that would be enough."
"Yes, hopefully." Glossaryck agreed solemnly.
I finally gotten time to write something.
I will return to Mahouka soon. Just give me a bit more time to settle in to my job.
This is my first story in the Cartoon department. I enjoyed watching Star vs. The Forces of Evil, and that's why I'm writing this. I also gotten permission to use some of the characters and lore of jgss0109. Please check up the artist's work, specially the lore that he/she put into his/her SVTFOE Alternate Universe.
So enjoy and review.
