I forcefully opened my eyes not wanting to be welcomed to my mind's thoughts as i look at the clock next to to check the time.'7:30 huh?'. I got up and stretched hearing a few bones pop and crack, i emerged from the bed with the little energy i had left and went to the bath room where tom was already up and arguing with the shower because i wasn't hot enough. He turned around acknowledging me and smiled."Morning Star glad to see your up this early usually your in bed till the afternoon" Like i needed him to remind me of the state my mind was in, only reason i didn't just freeze him was because then id have to get my wand...which i had no idea where it was. "Whatever, i hope you know the shower doeskin speak" i approached him as he fiddled with the shower." Yeah i know but its frustrating! its like taking a shower in a pool of ice" I touched the water and it was boiling hot."Look why don't you just take a shower AT YOUR PLACE?" I looked at him awaiting for his smart comeback...but his head just bowed down and he shook it."Because...huh...if i left i'd just feel like i'd be breaking Marcos last request...to stay here look after his family and most importantly you" my mind went blank and i could hear is my voice saying Marco.'Marco Marco MARCO MARCO MARCO!' I looked at tom filled with anger."That wasn't his last request...how could you say that!" Tom kept his head down and didn't move an inch."Star...i understand you...still have hope and that's good but...then darkness was taking control fast...its been a little over a month...i don't think when we find him...we'll find HIM...you know what i mean...and i don't want you to witness that...i mean look at the state that your in, you don't eat, talk, anything you just sleep and grief imagine what would happen if you saw him" I grabbed him by the shirt and lifted him the air and stared at him for what seemed like minutes. What did he expect to happen...Marco was...everything to me...friend, lover, my party buddy, my Nacho partner, my helping hand, my logic whenever i would loose control...my...everything and now he's...I can't...accept that he may have turned into something...someone else."Star" Tom broke me from my temper and i released my grip. I looked down at the bathroom floor...that belonged and only belonged to Marco. "Im sorry Tom...i know you're still...into me in a way" His head slowly looked at me with a blush expression."But...even if i do lose him...my heart will always belong to Marco even-" Tom covered my mouth with his warm hand softly covering all that was supposed to be said."I'm not here because of you...im not here because im in love with you...im here because i promised Marco i'd protect you and his family...im here because he sacrificed himself so we could fight another day...i have every intention of finding him...corrupted or not it's still him...are you going to give up because all seems lost, thats not the star i remember. Even if its years from now we are going to fix him...and if we can't...we'll find Eclipsa and she if she knows how" He headed out of the bathroom and stopped at the door to my room."Get yourself out of the dirt and look on the bright side...there's still hope" He closed the door and until i hear his footsteps fade...i exhale. Even if we do find her...Eclipsa what's to say she's gonna help us. Even if we did somehow convince her...is Marco beyond saving? I headed down stairs were my mom and were making breakfast and was messing with the TV. I saw Mom look at me twice and stare at me like she had seen a ghost and well she wasn't in the wrong for her reaction. "Hey...Mom sorry i was...been like this lately" She hugged me without saying anything and i couldn't help but embrace i return. I felt nothing but warmth cover my body and tight embrace...a mother's embrace. I looked up to see her with tears in her eyes
"Good Morning Darling" She smiled and kissed my forehead...well half my forehead and half messy hair looping over my head. Ms and Mr Diaz greeted me and i sat down at the table and fixed my hair as Tom came down stairs. "Wow didn't expect to see you down here, got sick of laying down" He sat next to me and began eating his breakfast. He couldn't go back home as many of the portals were offline since we left Mewni but...i honestly think he's lying about that and the reason he's still here dealing with me is because Marco asked him too...none the less for better or worse im glad he's here; whether it's because i might need him to save Marco or just having someone my age around is nice im...ok that he's here. "Yeah I thought enough is enough...eventually im going to have to get up and face whats ahead...its only of time before we head back to...salvage what's left" Tom chewed and looked at me. "Eh im just glad your up and well at least working, we're going to need you when we head back" Mom sat across from tom and cleared her throat. "I'm not in no rush to head back Tom, we need some sort of plan to work with. Just bargaining in and fighting wont work when we don't know what we're dealing with here". Tom got up and washed his dishes while he was speaking with Mom about something. I was focused on Marco and what became of him, if he really was corrupted with dark magic and if Kalex and Lesa were still alive. The consensus was Mewni definitely won and was successful in taking back her kingdom, But whether it was hers to rule or not was not up to us. All i was concerned about was the people of Mewni...and Marco. "Alright if you think it'll work Queen Moon" I look up at Tom who's head down mostly thinking. Mom stood and looked at me. "Star we have something that might work in taking back our home From Mewni...but we have to find Kalex" I looked down at my wand the one thing i hadn't let go since losing Marco. "What about Marco?" Tom looked at and sighed. "We have an idea for him too but...odds are" He walked over to me and gave a worrying smile.

"Traveling for days does a number on your feet, how the hell are you still walking?" No answer. I look at the map and make sure we're heading in the right direction. "The others said they'd meet us in Section 33 just outside the castle am I correct?" Nothing but a nod. I look at the bigger than life trees that tower over us as if it was hiding us...covering our tracks. The leaves fell from such great heights and spun along another as if they were dancing. I pulled out my sword and i saw my self in the reflection...and of course i saw that damn eye that glowed a bright Red with little lines of red traveling across my eye. I don't know how it got there but i do know that whenever im in combat i space out sometimes...and when i come too i see nothing but a pile of bodies and a stinging pain in my right eye. I feel a nudge on my arm. I look and see it...what was once a beacon of hope and power...now ruled by darkness and fear the Mewni Castle was in sight as well our last hope to defeating Mewni and her army of corrupted. But something still confused me...Mewni her self wasn't corrupted but her army was and unless you fiddled with dark magic (which Mewni doesn't) then you shouldn't be able to corrupted others. I saw figure begin to walk forward before i grabbed their hand stopping them. "Wait...are sure you want to do this. This is it if we fail here we lose" They nodded then tried to loosen my grip on them, i pulled them toward me and removed their hood that had been covering their pain. "Are you sure?" They looked at me and with motivation and purpose they said "Yes". I rubbed my hand across their face and cupped their cheeks. " If we don't make it out...i want you to know it's been an honor and blessing to have known you...if only we could've lived a peaceful life together" I chocked trying not to let my tears drop as my heart ached. I knew the odds of us leaving here alive were slim but everyone agreed this was the best course of action. If we attacked and failed...it just might inspire others to fight back to and hopefully win. "Just say it...just say it...don't miss your opportunity" I leaned down and kiss them on the forehead."I love you...Lesa" she hugged me tight and dug her face into my chest as to not show her tears. "I love you too...Kalex". These moments might seem worthless in the grand scheme of things but this was the last time i would be able to talk to her like this...because soon...we would begin the invasion on Mewni...and fulfill what Lesa had said father time showed her when star had taken her there years ago...the rise of The Kingdom of Sol
