EPILOGUE

As it turned out however, peace was not to come so swiftly or cleanly as everyone would have hoped for. Not one week after Moon was crowned riots begin breaking out across the nation of Mewni as commoners rose up in arms to "cleanse" the lands of what they deemed to be the greater evil. As it turns out, it was not the Monsters that they turned on primarily, although many did turn on them eventually, it was actually the Mewman nobility that they turned upon to relive their shackles that they believed Moon had attempted to remove. Many Monsters joined the Mewman riots whenever they were not targets as well and while strengthening bonds between the two races also escalated more violence. Because of the need to control the riots, the final battle of the Johansen's was delayed to the point where 2,500 Johansen warriors had managed to escape into the fringes of the Forest of Certain Death before they were surrounded and set upon at Castle Johansen. The battle was short but bloody with the remaining 500 Johansens killed to the last man with Moon' forces losing 500 soldiers themselves. Moon attempted to negotiate peace between the rioting peasants but that served to only make things worse as either they didn't listen or believed Moon was betraying the cause she had fought for until she got her crown. That winter was a cold one and also a bloody one as while the war was officially over the fighting got more brutal and intense, two out of three nobles did not live to see the spring thaw. During these riots Moon's forces were severely depleted due to the war and forced to play defensibly allowing the Johansen rebels to ransack the land at leisure. In a twist of fate however the brutal winter served to help Moon's cause in bringing peace as with the shortages due to war and the land providing next to nothing many peasants simply stopped rioting to negotiate with Moon out of hunger. The nobility also submitted to Moon very willingly as she was the best option for protection with the world falling apart as it was. It was a long tedious struggle but by spring most of the revolting peasants had settled down and all but the most devoted nobles had acknowledged Moon as their queen allowing the chance to finally begin rebuilding.

Not all went down without a fight however, several peasant revolts continued onward pillaging their fellow country men's stores of food in an attempt to survive forcing Moon to continue the civil war. The Johansens were severely depleted due to the hard winter but continued fighting none-the-less albeit as less of a threat while nobles who did not bend the knee to Moon were smart enough to flee either to other lands or join the Johansens in the woods fighting against Moon's forces. Moon, in an attempt to prevent bloodshed, took advice from Toffee and offered up pardons to any rebel who was willing to lay down their arms and join in the rebuilding process for the future of Mewni. Many actually did accept the offer, but it was spaced out over the course of the spring, summer, and fall of that year acting as a slow drain on those opposing Moon and by the time the soft winter once again came around Moon was able to officially deem the war over. Rebuilding however was incredibly hard, the land was damaged by the last three years of war and the enmity between Mewmans and Monsters had resurfaced with the occasional riot becoming almost routine as Mewmans turned on Monsters. Many of the changes Moon also put in place for the kingdom also angered some of the more traditional Mewmans who viewed it as a severe breach in tradition which fueled the occasional rebel group that also became maddeningly routine as well. And to top it off some of the Johansen rebels still existed and with the soft winter recovered and formed into small elite groups that were a menace on the borders of the kingdom to anyone not in a walled town with Monsters being their number one target. The "War of the Hidden" was a small thorn in the kingdoms side but one that continued the original civil war for years after Moon deemed it over.

Despite this though, the kingdom not only recovered but began thriving under the leadership of Moon and her husband Toffee. Borrowing several methods from different worlds, especially earth, they altered them to fit Mewni and reformed much of the lands of Mewni, especially the divide between not just Mewmans and Monsters but entities like Dawi Zharr, rats, and the other races of Mewni. Trade routes were expanded upon and new methods of agriculture, mining, fishing, and other methods of harvesting resources pulled the nation into a new age of prosperity that had not been seen for many decades. In the process, the tax laws were reformed and military redone so the crown did not have to rely upon local lords to sustain itself allowing Moon to instigate many reforms to the nation that, even with popular support from the people and lack of nobles, could not have been achieved. A rudimentary parliament was set up with their voices being beholden to the common people and not any noble. The class system was, while not officially abolished, in all intents and purposes was abandoned so nobility could be tried the same as commoners for crimes and Monsters could be treated the same as Mewmans. The biggest change however was the public schooling system that was set up bringing Mewman and Monster children together to be educated in a common environment no matter what class or heritage they had been originally. In many ways this actually proved to be the most effective method in showing both sides that the feuds of the past were meaningless and that both sides could get along.

As the years passed these action by Moon that brought about prosperity and common well-being softened the divide between Mewmans and Monsters even if it did not remove the division completely. During the riots that rocked the kingdom occasionally many a Mewman life was lost as common folk fought to protect Monsters from their fellow Mewmans leading to great acts of heroism. Rebellions died down to near nothing as many saw that with traditions being questioned prosperity and peace could be brought around with only the most steadfast to tradition continuing to fight back still. With all this happening, the "Forest Barbarians" slowly weakened as Moon's forces chipped away at them with fewer and fewer recruits coming in to support them. By the modern day, riots may still occur unpredictably but people are more lily to stop it then join it and the remaining rebels are but a shadow of even what they once were, barely anything more then common bandits.

Around six years after Moon was crowned queen Moon finally gave birth to a new heir to the kingdom. A child of a Mewman and a Monster she would face a hard time but with a loving family and many friends of her family she would make it to the end and grow to be an amazing individual. As per tradition Moon chose her name after the first thing that crossed her mind after laying eyes upon her daughter, the shining star the would serve to guide Mewni in the future; so Queen Moon named her daughter...


"... Star Butterfly. And that's the story of my parents, at least what they told me." Star smiled at Ferguson, Alfonso, Kelly, Janna, StarFan13, Princess Ponyhead, and three other people in the room.

One being a girl with green feathers instead of hair, had wings, and yellow eyes; a second being a boy about two and a half feet tall with Dragonfly wings, sightly blue skin, thin but well muscled, bluish-green eyes, and having purple streaked blond hair; the third was a boy with silvery-green skin, reddish-black hair, yellow eyes, and was wearing clothes that just screamed biker boy.

"Now that is one heck of a story." Janna spoke smiling up at Star as she sat in Marco's lap under his hoodie.

Star was about ordinary height with bluish skin with two dark purple hearts one being on each cheek, her thigh length hair was silvery white held back by a rose colored headband with devil horns on it framing her green eyes and smile with sharp carnivorous teeth. She wore what seemed to be a black informal dress that one might deem Victorian Gothic if not for the pink heart pin on the center of her chest.

"Wow, your parents really went through all that?" Marco asked sounding impressed.

"Well duh, this is history and my parents couldn't make it up even if they wanted to." Star flashed a toothy grin at everyone.

"Well I know she is tellin the truth gurl, my dad will back it up." Princess Ponyhead spoke flamboyantly.

Everyone began either saying how cool the story was or sat there smiling knowing they had heard it several times before until they heard a knocking from downstairs.

"Star, there are 2 someone's here to see you for a surprise visit. Please come down." Angie yelled up putting a smile on Stars face.

"Come on Marco, let's go." Star lifted Marco up while still in his hoodie and began carrying him.

"Star, put me down." Marco said in a deadpan voice as people giggled at him.

"But you're so warm Marco." Star whined giving Marco puppy dog eyes making everyone burst out laughing.

"*Sigh* ok let's go."

Star made it downstairs detaching Marco from her near the end and the two were met by Moon and Toffee standing arm in arm in Marco's living room with a smiling Angie and her husband, Raphael, standing nearby.

"Mom, Dad, nice to see you again." Star ran over and gave the two a hug.
