Since Wrathmelior only communicates through trills and growls, her speaking is her talking to herself, her talking to others and they understand her, and it's like us watching subtitles. Also, anything in italics is Wrathmelior's diary entries-combined with her POV of certain events. This isn't an HJE and will be essential reading for chapters relating to Eclipsa.
(3 days since Dimensional Fusion)
It has been three days since Mewni fused with Earth. In the case of the Underworld, we found ourselves Under Echo Creek, Cheeseburg, and Silver Hill; the floors underneath our home are still in the Echo Creek area. These are strange circumstances but nothing we demons aren't unfamiliar with events like this. While this has never happened to us, we've had heard rumors that dimensions have merged into one before but we've never had a chance to study such an event because the dimensions that merged into one tend to disappear across the multiverse map; at least that's what I've read in a few demon scholars books in the Lucitor Library.
Wrathmelior is in the library of Lucitor castle when Relicor flies in from the window and down on the table.
"What are you going to do about this?"He asked Wrathmelior.
Wrathmelior explained "If you mean Amanda Grainger's plan to properly present Mewni to the world, I'm going to go along with her plan but with a few restrictions; specifically, we'll be limiting who can come into the Underworld. Given that we're in a Dimension Fusion, we have no choice but to cooperate with anyone who is willing to help us. Besides, our agents all over Earth are on standby in case something goes wrong with the Earth government."
"They seem too eager to assist us. Who just helps someone who invaded their dimension, accident or not?"
"Humans have always been interested about the unknown, like aliens from outer space. Maybe this is their way of getting that experience but with other dimensional beings such as us instead."
"Even so, I doubt this human woman is going to own up to her promise; it all sounds unrealistic."
"Maybe. But it's all we have to go on for now. Relicor, I'm not going to go to war with the humans unless there is no other choice; they have to attack us first, not the other way around."
"Do what you want. I have my own thing to do anyway and it doesn't involve this." Relicor said before he flew away.
( Two Week since Dimensional Fusion)
It's been a week since dimensional fusion. Dave and I took the time to visit Belladonatrix, Walter, and Basil. Unfortunately for me, I had to drink shrinking juice to walk around on the surface; the same goes for all giant monsters who are over 10 feet tall. While Dave and Walter were watching Basil, I wanted to talk to my sister in private and get her feelings about us being closer to her. Other than her drive to travel the multiverse, she never liked staying in the Underworld for long periods of time and she didn't really like the surface of Mewni either.
"I'm surprised that things have been going so well for everyone. This Amanda Grainger and her colleagues have really been helpful in peaceful negotiations between the Earth government and all of Mewni." Belladonatrix said as she is sipping tea.
Wrathmelior said "Indeed. You'd think a war between humans would be the first thing that would happen."
"As someone who has lived among humans, you're not wrong in thinking that, sister. Like mewmans, humans are prone to similar destruction, depravity, ignorance, and evil; only real difference between the two is humans are smarter than mewmans and they have a bigger capacity to grow and change. On the plus side, I won't have to wear this human skin anymore." Beladonatrix said, looking at her closet. Inside her closet are a set of humanoid and "monster like" skins that have holes in their eyes and other sets of clothes.
"I still don't understand why you wear those."
"Mostly to blend in whenever I visit other dimensions; especially the ones that haven't made contact with other dimensions, or planets on rare occasions. It's almost like that show Walter is a fan of with a rule called the Alpha Priority. What's it called again? That's right, Star Explorers. Granted, my neighbors knew about my demon roots so I wasn't too worried about how humans could react to me. If I had to complain about anything, it would have to be our inability to travel to dimensions and I'll have to deal with Relicor."
"I can't do anything about Grandfather Relicor other than to suggest that he call you first before visiting. As for dimensional travel, we're working on it but it will take a while."
"Define a while."
Wrathmelior explained "I estimate five to ten years; five if we're lucky. It's our own fault that we over relied on Hekapoo's dimensional scissors and the dimensional travel fluid she gave us too and abandoned our own dimensional travel research. At least we have the records for it and the modern science and technology to work on it again. It's a good thing we kept the records hidden from the Magic High Commission.".
"Speaking of the Magic High Commission, are we sure we won't have to worry about them anymore? I know Eclipsa says that they're gone because the Realm of Magic is gone but it just sounds too good, and too easy, to be true." Belladonatrix said, raising an eyebrow.
"Eclipsa and I have talked about this. It may not happen now, but it is possible that magic could come back in some form or another."
"Well if it does come back, at least we won't have to follow that treaty with the Magic High Commission anymore."
"Even if they were alive, we weren't going to follow it anymore anyway; they broke the treaty first."
Long before I was even born, the Underworld, or specifically the Lucitors, had a special treaty with the Magic High Commission that allowed them to share the mewman magic with us for dimensional travel, (certain) resurrections of skeletons, and other magi commodities and we wouldn't be treated as "monsters" anymore. In exchange, we'd end our dimensional travel research and remain "balancers" for Mewni; I'm not sure what that term means.
The treaty was immediately broken when our abilities to make portals to other dimensions from the Underworld were cut off, dimensional scissors didn't work, and the entrances and exits to the Underworld were blocked by Rhombulus's crystals. Our strongest demons couldn't break the crystals, no matter how much strength or fire we had on us. As a result, we couldn't come to Eclipsa and Globgor's aid when they were attacked by Mina Loveberry.
( Four months since Dimensional Fusion)
Because of this new situation, the kingdoms had to cooperate with each other more often, resulting in the creation of the Council of Mewni. Dave had to do most of the talking since none of the other kingdoms could not understand me; Eclipsa and Globgor are the only exceptions since both are familiar with certain demon tongues. When he married into my family, I swore to him that he wouldn't have to worry about all the complications that came with being the king of the Underworld but he found a way to help in his own way; specifically, his knowledge of architecture, construction, and home repair.
Dave is in his office, looking at maps of the different floors of the Underworld when Wrathmelior comes in with a cup of coffee.
"Thanks honeybunch." Dave said, giving his wife a kiss on the cheek as she was squatting down for him.
"Don't overwork yourself, dear."
"I won't. If anything, I'm flexing my architect muscles after all these years."
Wrathmelior looks at all the blueprints on Dave's desk. Among these blueprints is a dome shaped building with a big telescope pointed at the bottom. It's titled "Lucitor Soul Observatory". "The Soul Observatory; you're working on that first?"
"Along with the new housing projects, I figured it was best to nip this one in the butt first. We're getting a lot of questions about the soul of loved ones from all the humans; not to mention certain evil people.
"Once we fully open the doors to the Underworld, we'll have to show everyone that we're not the final destination when you die. Although, I doubt they'll believe that given how certain human belief systems tend to lean toward thinking people go here, especially the evil people.
While we demons are able to see and scene souls of the living, we do not know what happens to them after you die; not completely at least. When someone dies, their souls are torn into pieces, scattered to places unknown. Even with our methods of resurrections, we can't just bring someone back to life completely. We would only be able to find traces of the soul and put into their skeletons. It's like us finding pieces of a puzzle but being unable to complete it Plus, we're not the end all-be all for souls winding up here when you die so it's not like we'll be able to find all the pieces their; we're lucky to only find 30 percent of the soul in the Underworld if it goes there for any reason. The Soul Observatory is meant to deal with this misconception but not just among
( 2 years and 8 months since Dimensional Fusion)
Because of our treaty with the Magic High Commission and our personal concerns, the Underworld didn't fully support Eclipsa's kingdom; our personal concerns being . We did however express the possibility of forming an alliance with her by sending one of our demon butlers to help her as a sign of good faith. After her coronation, the Underworld fully supported her and Globgor's reign. We both felt that things in Mewni would truly change for the better, especially for demons who continue to live underground because of Mewman persecution. Even better, they've become very close friends of Dave and I.
On a personal note, Dave and I identify with them in a way. While our situation is very different from them and they've been through way more than us, I can imagine the same thing, or something similar, happening to me and Dave if we didn't have that treaty with the Magic High Commision at the time; what's worse is I can imagine a similar fate happening to Tom like what happened to Meteora.
At Lucitor castle, Eclipsa and Globgor are in the throne room with Dave and Wrathmelior. The four of them are talking about having a traditional Underworld Fire Fruit Festival as a sign of opening up their borders more often and getting more demons to live on the surface too since most chose to stay in the Underworld.
"Come on, honey. I think it's about time the Underworld holds this festival again." Dave said as he's looking at the files pertaining to the Fire Fruit Festival.
"I don't know, Dave. While it is that time of year, we've never had the celebration on the surface sounds a bit risky." Wrathmelior said with a look of concern on her face.
"Besides, Fire Fruit is very popular on the surface; it's most popular among teens, children, and anyone wanting to lose weight. I know the Underworld has been conserving some of their supplies since Mewni merged with Earth but I'm sure…" Eclipsa said before she was interrupted by Wrathmelior.
"Supply isn't the issue; if it were, I would have said no automatically. It's called the Fire Fruit Festival for a reason. It may involve the fruits itself but there is a lot of fire."
Globgor said "All safety precautions have been taken. We're having it near the beach, which will have a lot of water, the merfolk and local firefighters will be there to stop any unplanned fires, and there is a list of what kinds of foods and fire fruits that shouldn't be mixed together."
"What about paying for the festival? While we don't mind contributing, we can't be the only ones that your territory and the merfolk that are going to provide financial support; even though you have a lot of money after clearing the Butterfly kingdom debt and gaining interest back,
Globgor said "We have a local milk company providing support.".
"Which one? If it's Bobby's Cow Farm, I'm going to stop you there since that company is secretly evil." Dave said, raising an eyebrow.
Eclipsa said "Of course not. Over The Moon Farm wants to sponsor the event. It's the same brand I let Meteora drink."
Wrathmelior said "But what about translation? The Fire Fruit Festival opening ceremonies, official games, the Fire Fruit Dance song, and the closing ceremonies all have to be in demon tongue. Even after all this time, not many are able to understand that and the ones that do are rare; granted the language itself was already difficult for non underworlders to learn."
I'm lucky that they both understand what I say just like Dave can understand me; Globgor knows about demon tongue via a demon friend from his past and Eclipsa picked it up from listening to the Underworld representative when she was young.
"That's easy. We'll have pamphlets that'll translate everything you have to say.." Globgor said, as he and Eclipsa showed the pamphlets that have demon language translated to all kinds of languages; this includes mewman, english, spanish, chinese, etc.
"I guess this is ok. There's no rule saying they can't have the speech transcripts ahead of time. Ok, but what about the Fire Fruit Dance song. As queen of the Underworld, I have to sing it in front of everyone and I haven't done that in a long time. Even if translation, lighting, and music isn't a problem, I'm not going to sing while in a shrunken state." Wrathmelior said in a huff.
"We've already moved for you to sing at your regular size."
"I still don't know about this."
"Fine then, you leave us no choice." Eclipsa pulled out her phone and Basil and Meteora were on it with Belladonatrix
"Please sing at the Fire Fruit Festival, Aunt Wrathmelior. "
"Alright, I'll do it."
Basil and Meteora are my greatest weakness, especially when they have cute or pouty faces like that. Not to mention that I love it when they're together. Part of me wants them to be together romantically when they're older but I restrain this thought out of respect for Belladonatrix, Ecipsa, and Globgor. I think it's due to Tom wanting to have stayed in a relationship with Star but I know that's not going to happen.
(3 years since Dimensional Fusion)
When I heard my son broke up with Star, I'll admit that I was a little broken-hearted since I had high hopes for them. But Tom told me that it was for the best since he believed that they were going to different places. I ultimately respected my son's decision and wished him nothing but the best. While he dated different girls for a while, the longest one that he's been dating has been Janna.
Wrathmelior is filling out paperwork in her office when she hears someone opening the door. To her surprise, it was Janna.
"Hey Queen Wrathmelior."
"Janna, what are you doing here? More importantly, how did you get in here without a Lucitor exclusive key?"
"I made a copy of Tom's key; figured it was easier to get a copy of his than steal one from one of your guards."
"What for?"
"An interview for my journalism class. I need to interview "someone of importance" while asking them who inspired them to be who they are now. "
"And I was your first choice? Even though you could have asked me for an interview when I'm not so busy."
"You could say that. However, I want a more interesting demon that inspired you to be the demon that you are; like Lazaronia Lucitor, the Shadow Dealer."
This caught Wrathmelior by surprise and she asked "How do you know that name?"
"I'm not at liberty to reveal my sources. But I do know that she was responsible for creating the Frozen Fire Floor with her entire body, the Firecracker Explosion Curse, and founder of Demons Investigating Multiverse Extremities.
Wrathmelior grabbed Janna and started looking at her with a very angry look; it even caused her to make a thunderstorm outside "How do you know about D.I.M.E?
"I have my sources. I also know that only D.I.M.E agents, high ranking nobles, and the Lucitor Family itself is supposed to know about them." Janna said, showing no fear in front of Wrathmelior as she is holding her.
Wrathmelior said That's correct. You should also know that anyone who isn't any of the three will be "dealt with".
"I know that too. However, you should know that if anything happens to me it could be very embarrassing for you."
"What do you mean?"
Janna pulled out a flashdrive from her mouth "I have printed files and a flash drive that's in the hands of someone within Mewrth/Earthni territory. They have specific instructions to deliver the information to every newspaper, news room, and popular and influential internet personalities.".
What kind of information would that be?
"Let's see. Your real age 236; you only tell people you're 45 to make yourself sound younger. You still sleep with a teddy bear by your night stand, especially when you have that nightmare about that episode from Total Steel Chemist of the mother turning her son and pet cat into a creature and then seeing it get killed by Slasher. You and Dave are in a "Key" relationship with Eclipsa, Globgor, Mr. Diaz, Mrs. Diaz…." Jana said before Wrathmelior interrupted her; she was blushing heavily after that last fact.
"Stop! What do you want, Janna?"
"Simple, I want to be in your spy network class but I want you to be my mentor."
"Why?"
"It's part of a plan I have for myself. I want to be an information broker and journalist; have all the knowledge and skills needed to operate from the shadows while making a lot of money off it. Also, I want to have the skills to figure out why the US government and the world's government has been so nice to all of you about merging with our dimension based on the word of one person."
"You know, if you really wanted to take control of D.I.M.E, it would have been much easier to…."
Janna said with a more serious tone of voice "I can get this on my own without Tom's help. If I was using Tom to get what I want, not only would it make my original efforts all for nothing but also he would know long before I approached you with this. I know demon mom's are close with their kids so odds are you wouldn't have wasted any time killing me if I had used Tom like that. Plus, seducing people to get what you want is wrong; even I would never do that."
"You're right. Alright, I'll be your mentor; we'll start next month."
"Nice."
"Janna, you should know that I've been trying to figure that out myself; the same goes with D.I.M.E. too. We don't know why the Earth dimension has been so welcoming to us since dimensional fusion. Even though some humans do not like our presence here and arguments have broken out among smaller groups, an actual war between Mewni and Earth was the likely outcome of a fusion on this scale."
"I won't argue with that; humanity is known for its violent tendencies and fear of the unknown. I would try to ask the humans in charge of this cover up what they're planning but odds are they won't tell me or give me the resources I need to know.
"You know by siding with us, if war does break out between Mewni and Earth, you could be considered a traitor to Earth and…."
"The only loyalty I have are to my friends and family, not my dimension's government; anything else doesn't matter to me. I don't mind if I become Earth's enemy because of what I'm about to do."
Alright.
If I'm being honest, I like Janna more than I like Star. While I find some of her quirks to be a bit annoying, I do sense a good soul in her and . Given a few more years, I think she would make a wonderful bride for Tom and an excellent queen of the Underworld. Plus, I knew she really wanted to become a demon since Tom did mention that she asked about becoming a demon. If we had the means to do that I don't think I would hesitate to make her one; that and she would have probably done it herself.
After I oversaw her training, I sent Janna to Italy, Germany, and Egypt with other D.I.M.E members to investigate legends that relate to the Underworld history and Earth's history along with potential candidates of financial and political backers that might be involved in allowing us residents in this dimension.

(Around the same time as the beginning chapter of Harley's Declaration)
Wrathmelior and Dave are at the Lucitor lake house; Dave is sitting on Wrathmelior's knee and watching the lava waves and flying skull fish swim. Wrathmelior then got an update on her phone that reminded her of Basil's birthday. After she put her phone down, she noticed Dave rubbing her ankle with a seductive look on his face; this caused Wrathmelior to blush and giggle at the same before they could do anything, they noticed a blue portal appear above them and out it came Janna
Wrathmelior said "Janna! What are you doing here? I thought you were in Rome."
"I was until some lady in blue opened a portal appeared in front of me and said I was exempt from Earth's judgement."
Dave got a call from Tom and decided to answer it. "Hey Dad, are the portal scientists running an experiment on the portal generators?
"No, they're not. Why?"
"Because people are showing up through these blue portals that are appearing everywhere; that includes demons who got a traveling pass and humans from the top side. They're saying something about being exempt from Earth's judgement."
"What's going on here?" Dave said to himself before he noticed Wrathmelior with a very serious look on her face
She said "I can smell it again. Mewman magic has returned but so has something else; something just as powerful too."
It was then that I knew our relatively peaceful five years had come to an end.
Decided to end it here for now but I will (likely) do a part of Wrathmelior's Diary simply because I want to do more with her character along with Dave; granted, he'll get a chapter of his own one day. Reminder, this isn't an HJE; this is necessary-required reading for the story.
