The Morning Star Chapter 2
Okay guys, I am SO sorry for the delay, but you know how it is with school and life. There was also some writers block. But I am back and thus the story shall go on.
And guys, I must clarify again, THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN STORY. I am simply using elements of Christianity to tell a story. You don't hear people calling Avatar the last airbender and the Legend of Korra Buddhist or Hindu cartoons just because the fucos on things such as spiritual energy, Yin/Yang, and balance, do you?
Note: I own nothing except OC's. Everthing else belongs to Daron Nefcy, Disney, and the Bible I guess. Enjoy!
Marco stared up at the ceiling, sighing with exasperation. It had been a boring day so far. Both of his parents were at work, school had closed for the day to deal with a rat infestation, and no monsters had shown up ever since the incident with Toffie.
Toffie. Marco shuddered, remembering what happened that fateful day. He remembered how scared he felt as the crystal chamber he was held in began sinking into the floor threatening to crush him. But then Star decided to give Toffie the wand. But he didn't ant the wand. He wanted it destroyed.
And then Star made a great sacrifice. She destroyed the wand using the Whispering Spell, and as the wand started to deteriorate, Marco could see the pained look on her face, as if she was losing a part of herself in the process.
After the wand had exploded, all that was left was Toffie's suit jacket. Most would assume that Toffie was dead but not Marco. Marco deep down, had a feeling they would see Toffie again. But the question was when?
Finally he got up, deciding to see what Star was up to. As he went to her room, he saw that the laser puppies looked bored as well. Perhaps they needed a walk. He knocked on Star's door, ''Hey Star? Mind if I come in?''
''Sure.'' Marco walked in and saw Star sitting on her bed, loooking at the floor. She had a troubled look on her face.
''Star what's wrong?'' Msrco asked.
''Well Marco, you know how I decided to become a Christian?'' Marco nodded. When they had gone to church, Star had met Pastor Reynolds, a kind man in his 60s who explained more things about Christianity to her, and thus she decided to join and was even given a Bible. She had been happy then, but now she seemed troubled.
''Well why don't we walk the laser puppies and see what's on your mind?'' Star nodded and the two headout with the laser puppies on a puppies all wore special glasses that would let them see but blocked off their lasers. Can't have em hurting anyone.
''So Star, what is it? Are you having doubts?'' Marco asked, concern evident in his voice.
''Well you see, growing up on Mewni, religon was kinda, discouraged.''
Marco's eyes widened. ''What do you mean?''
''Well we didn't have things like churches, and most people didn't believe in a supreme deity. My parents supported this, passing laws that prohibited knowledge about spiritual beliefs''
''So basically it's state atheism, when the government issues policies that support the disbelief in gods.'' Marco said. Star nodded.
''Why would they do this?''
''I don't know. They told me when I was little that there are things they would tell me when I'm old they've never killed anyone who broke the laws, just some fines and being closely watched by guards.''
''Well then I guess it wasn't as bad as it was here on Earth.'' Star looked at Marco intrigued.
''Yeah. During the 20th century, there were atheist dictators who went far beyond what your parents did. Two prominent examples were Mao Zedong and Joseph Stain. They weren't dictators because they were atheists, but they wanted those under their control to believe what they believed. Churches and temples were destroyed, people were sent to camps and killed. Atheistic propaganda were introduced even in schools.''
''Oh no.'' Star said.
''Don't worry, Star. Like you said your parents never went that far. But if you grew up with those rules then why were you interested in Christianity?''
''I don't know. I've always been different Marco. I've never been like most Mewmen and women. My mom wants me to be this perfect leader''
''Well, Star you're just unique. The way God made you.'' Marco said, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
''Thanks Marco.''Star said with a smile. Suddenly the two turned as the laser puppies began whimpering. They looked ahead and standing at the curb a few feet in front of them was someone in black jeans and a gray hoodie.
''Huh?'' Marco said taking a closer look. ''Hey dude, is there something we ca-''
The stranger ran forward, striking Marco in the jaw with a powerful punch. Marco went flying into some garbage cans and the puppies, seeing their owner being hurt prepared to attack but then the figure with a wave of his hand sent them flying without touching them.
Star pulled out her wand, getting into a battle stance. ''I don't know who you are pal.'' She said, powering up her wand, ''But you're going down.''
''I know you are, but what aout me?'' He said. Then he charged.
Uh oh. Who is this new stranger, and what does he want with our duo? And are Star's parents keeping some dark secret from her? Find out next time! Be sure to review and check out my other work! Peace!
