"Star tell Marco he's being an idiot about his chest hair!" Annoyed, Marco and I enter Star's room, annoyance etched into my tone. I scowl at Marco after harassing me about his new chest hair which shouldn't even count, its one flimsy hair which I could pluck out if I felt like it.
"I'm not. Hey Star, check it out. I'm getting my first chest hair. It's pretty small, but if you look at it in just the right light... Uh, Glossaryck? What's up with him?" Frowning, Marco questions Star as I prod Glossaryck, his eyes pitch black as he lies limply in the air. I poke him making him float about like a balloon.
"He's on the fritz." Star mumbles her eyes glued to the spellbook.
"Wanna play volleyball with his body?" I ask curious as I begin messing with his body snickering as I begin juggling his body.
"Nah Glossaryck is planning to show me something." Bored, Star sighs.
"Show you what?" Curious, I question him.
"Some of Eclipsa's dark spells…" Star tells me making my eyes dilate at the wording.
"Dark spells you have piqued my interest!" Excited, I pounce on Star's back making her beam as we eagerly look at the book.
"Wait a sec. Are you doing something you're not supposed to?" Warily, Marco's browns narrow at our giddiness.
"Well…He said I couldn't move the page until he came back…" Glumly, Star sighs.
"WAIT. Glossaryck said not to turn the page. But he didn't say you couldn't…" Brightly, I cut in placing my hands-on Marco's shoulders, making his eyes widen as Star and I grin eager to see these so called forbidden spells.
"You're probably wondering why you're here…" Coolly, Hekapoo greets the frowning Glossaryck after having his patience tested with such simple means of getting up through the tower. Swiftly, an office chair rolls up behind Glossaryck.
"Children, the only thing I wonder is why you waste my time." Bored, he greets his children.
"Don't call me children! You're the children! I've got chest diamonds bigger than you!" Angrily, the robed figure jumps on top of the table, revealing himself to be Rhombulus. Hissing, his snake arms sizzle with magical energy.
"Rhombulus..." Warningly, Hekapoo calls out to him.
"Rhombulus, you still mad about my last visit?" Smirking, Glossaryck greets him laying back. Fuming, Rhombulus encases Glossaryck inside a crystal. The crystal doesn't last long though, as it quickly cracks open.
"Excuse me, sorry. Don't mean to be rude. Getting stronger though, huh? That's good." Softly, he smiles at the shaking fuming Rhombulus, looking on the urge of breaking something which…he does.
"Gah. You always do this!" Roaring, Rhombulus picks up the table and throws it outside, shattering the glass wall. He then attempts to attack Glossaryck but is easily beaten as Glossaryck shines his forehead gemstone, and Rhombulus backs away and shoots crystals at him.
"Now you bring me here... while I'm at work...doing my job...!" Offended, Glossaryck easily misses Rhombulus crystals fired at him as he punches Rhombulus into a wall with a pink fist created by his jewel, only then as he is about to finish Rhombulus off by projecting a giant hammer with his forehead gem and is about to strike Rhombulus.
"Yes, Glossaryck. That's exactly what we're here to talk about." Calmly, the familiar regal voice of queen Butterfly echoes in the room as the fighting immediately ends as he bows to Queen Butterfly. "My liege." Loyally, Glossaryck bows to her as she turns her back to him, looking out at the taped up police tape and caution shine on the now broken window courtesy of the table throw by a certain pouting crystal head, pouting in the time out corner. Smoothly, Sean sets up another table and slides it over to Magic High Commission.
"The Commission has discovered a problem. Something somewhere is sapping the power of magic from the universe." The queen explains turning to face her mentor.
"Yes, that would explain the fritz." Glossaryck gathers.
"Oh, that's what I've been saying!" Childishly, Rhombulus whines.
"Hey! The time-out corner is not on the fritz!" Sternly, Hekapoo reminds him as pouting, he turns back to the corner, muttering under his breath, "Stupid Glossaryck. Stupid time-out."
"Omnitraxus has been searching for the leak's cause. Omnitraxus, what have you learned? Hello? Omni? Can you hear me?" Loudly, the queen calls out to the crystal ball revealing the tall skeletal head but as he animatedly reports in, his words are muffled by static.
"Check the inputs!" Rhombulus calls out.
"You, out!" Annoyed, Hekapoo tells him.
"Yeah, whatever. I'll crystallize myself. Would you miss me? No." Huffing, Rhombulus storms out of the room just as Lekmet pushes buttons on a VCR like machine below Omnitraxus. The sphere cycles through various images, including Toffee, before stopping on a tomato can. Lekmet starts bleating and drooling.
"Well, whatever's causing it, I want everyone to be on their toes. Especially Star. I need you to accelerate her training." The queen tells Glossaryck.
"Yeah... no." Easily, he shuts the queen's idea down.
"Why all the riddles? You were always very direct when you were training me." Perplexed, the queen questions her mentor only making Glossaryck sighs bowing his head disappointed.
"Well, it finally happened. Every queen wants to tell me how to do my job. "My training was different." You know what Glossaryck hears? Me, me, me, me, me! "I'm going to pull my mentor away from his job so I can be in the spotlight again." The only Butterfly to leave me be was your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother, Eclipsa the Queen of Darkness, whose chapter, coincidentally, you left Star alone with when you pulled me into this wonderland of red tape…" Sternly, Glossaryck smacks on Omnitraxus Prime. The sphere reveals Star, Marco and a grinning eager Ash, Star and her on their tippy toes encouraging him.
"Turn the page! Turn the page!" Star yells at him.
"Do it just do it!" Eagerly, Ash joins in as a few members eyes narrow at the trio.
"Oh, I'm gonna turn the page!" Hyper, Marco declares.
"Turn the page!" Chanting, Star and Ash sing.
"I'm gonna turn the page!" Marco grins.
"Turn the page, Marco!" Singing, Star and Ash call out, twirling about unaware of the panicking screaming shrieking mess that are the magical high commission.
"You all did this because you don't trust me, and what's worse, you don't trust Star. My queen. My queen, your training was different because Star is different. You have to have faith in her to make choices that are best for her. And my job is to train Star to be a queen." Earnestly, he explains to Queen moon, her eyes turning teary as she blinks them back as sadly, the queen nods, and her frown turns into a smile, allowing him to leave where he finds a disappointed Star and frowning Ash, Ash propped on the desk as Star slams the spell book shut having finished the chapter.
"So?" Glossaryck asks.
"Yeah…" Sighing, Star shrugs.
"You read the whole thing?" Glossaryck asks her.
"Yeah..." Star confirms.
"And?" Glossaryck wonders.
"It wasn't all that. I mean, I get it. Power of darkness, forces of evil, eternal suffering, blah-blah-blah. But honestly, didn't really affect me that much. Just wasn't my thing." Star confesses boredom etched into her tone.
"To be honest, I was expecting more blood, gore, maybe something interesting I mean I only looked at the spells and they were boring…" Disappointed, Ash deflates.
"Wait you read a few?" Surprised, Glossaryck blinks.
"Some, seems my book came in handy for some parts…" Casually, Ash shrugs as she shows off the book making Glossaryck's pink hues widen at it. Lazily, Ash wanders off boredom etched into her tone as she plops herself on top of Star's bed, oblivious of the fist bumping Glossaryck smiling at the two who are now disappointed…
"But Marco, on the other hand...yikes." Star voices out as the two turn to look up as Marco floats in the middle of a purple vortex of dark magic, his eyes completely black, cackling muttering easily.
"Luckily, there's a spell to fix that." Glossaryck assures her.
"Do we have to?" Lazily, Ash whines as defeated, she plops her head on Star's bed exhausted as they all head to bed, after fixing up Marco of course.
Shoutout to NightAroma for these amazing comments they've been giving and since it won't let me message you about your question. Vesper has sea-green eyes and I've always seen Toffee with gold or yellow eyes, I understand where you got the tint of green from but I've always seen them as yellow.
