Lunch Break 2/3
"Cover your right eye with your left eye?" Marco asks confused at the preface of the book where Glossaryck was explaining how to calibrate the book for the owners personality.
"Just skip it." Moon says.
And Star keeps reading,
She comes across a picture of Glossaryck in a womb, with his umbilical cord on his forehead.
"His belly-button is on his forehead." Jackie says alittle disgusted.
"Yeah, yeah that's why I gave him the gem." Rhombulus says. "And he never even thanked me." Rhombulus crosses his arms.
Star keeps reading,
She reads how Glossaryck "Existed forever but was born sometime after that long, long, ago." That confused everyone.
Then she read how "after he existed and before his birth" he was called upon by one of the Queens of Mewni to assist them un understanding magic. To help with that he created the first book of spells using silk worms and decided to live in it.
"Ok so who wants to read now?" Star says passing the book to Marco.
"Star this book is for our family only." Moon states.
"So you wanna read?" Star asks.
"You just read ONE page."
"Im tired."
"Read." Moon says sternly.
Star sighs and continues reading.
The second page (where Glossaryck opened by explaining that the silkworms make his clothes, turn his hair white and warning you not to get it in your mouth) there is a picture of Glossaryck with Omnitraxus, Lekmet, Hekapoo, Rhombulus and a giaraffe man. It looks almost like a family photo.
"Before you know it…love with myself…had some kids. "
Rhombulus snorted.
"Oh yeah, he liked us at first then he became more and more of a jerk later on." Rhombulus says.
"Yeah." Hekapoo agrees.
The other two nod in agreement.
"Whose that guy?" Marco says pointing at the giaraffe man. "Is that….Reynaldo the Bald Plate?" Marco says looking at the name at the end of Glossarycks list of names of his "kids".
"Yeah that's him." Hekapoo states. "He was made by Glossaryck for orderliness but we had to kick him out of the commission because of his constant ryming." She says the last part getting irritated.
Star keeps reading.
"I made the mistake of giving them free will and I have to live with it every day…."
This made everyone scowl, Glossaryck was essentially their father and he was outright stating he wished he hadn't given them free will. Granted most of them considered the commission racist and short-sighted already given their statements about monsters (especially Rhombulus) but they were still off-put by his attitude. Especially Angie and Raphael who were parents themselves.
Star kept reading.
Something caught her eyes.
"Uh mom what is this supposed to mean?"
Star reads the section of the book where Glossaryk says that you wont be in the Commission unless your: A princess, "some kind of hairy birdling or lizard man". And then he congratulates them on stealing the book.
"Birdling? Like Ludo?" Marco asks.
"Lizard like Toffee?" Jackie states worried.
"Glossaryk also says congradulations on stealing the book? Why would Glossaryck suggest something like that?" Star asks worried.
"That's always been in the book. No ones quite sure." Moon admits. "Although Glossaryck is rumored to be able to see the future and given when weve seen so far…." Now Moon was growing worried, did Glossaryck forsee either Ludo or Toffee getting the book? Why wouldn't he tell her? "Continue reading."
"Ok, blah, blah blah, parts of the book will be in different languages, blah blah, Uncle Justhin, blah, blah, skip ahead to grandma Comet to make pies."
"My mother was a very good chef, especially of pies." Moon says proudly.
Star continued reading.
"Oh look at this Glossaryck talks about some of the grandma's" Star says cheeringly as she reads the page listing WHO is in the book.
- Skywynne, Queen of Hours, Home of the Warnicorn Stampeed.
"Uh, whats a warnicorn?" Fergusson asks.
"Oh a unicorn, except it craves the blood of its enemies." Star says simply.
"Rad." Says Janna.
Star kept listing.
- Justhin the Uncalculated, Poor kid…."
"Uh that sounds like a guys name." Justin said.
"Uh yes, he would have been queen had not his sister been born." Moon said.
- Solaria the Monster Carver, WAR! She kinda scares me.
"Scared Glossaryck?" Janna said alittle freaked.
"She was awesome!" Rhombulus stated. "She destroyed horde after horde of monsters!"
"Moving on." Angie said motioning Star to read more.
- Eclipsa Queen of Darkness.
"Queen of Darkness?" Star questioned. "Hey isn't that the grandma you mentioned earlier saying that I shouldn't be like her?" Star asked her mother.
"Do NOT read that chapter Star! Oh and look here Glossaryck agrees with me." Moon says pointing in the book.
The rest of the commission nod in agreement.
"Then its settled. Were reading it." Janna says, earning her a glare from the commission members.
Especially Rhombulus, he was seeing so much of Eclipsa in this human girl, she was just lucky that she wasn't magic or otherwise a real threat or he would have crystalized her by now.
- Festivia the Fun, try one of her cocktails.
- Dirhennia the Heaped, read between the balls,
- Crescenta the Eager, loved to rule
- Rhina the Riddled, All Hail the Mewni Queen of Mystery.
- Celena the Shy, Something witchy this way comes
- Estrella the drafted, Mewni's own cartoonist.
- Comet the Chef, My favorite..
"WHAT! Glossaryck your not supposed to have a favorite!" Star shouted outraged.
Then she went back to reading.
- Moon the Undaunted, find out why she married river, then let me know.
River growled at the blue man's judgement of him.
"I get it dude." Marco says touching the king's shoulder. Sure, he hadn't technically met Glossaryck yet, but after watching his future self-interact with him he was sure that he didn't want to.
"Oh look me made a section for me. Star the Underestimated." Star reads. "Hmm, but nothing written yet. Guess its just because I haven't done anything yet."
Star shrugs and turns the page.
And she bursts out in anger over what she reads.
"HEY IM NOT AN IDIOT!" Star shouts.
"Yes you are and your yelling at a book." Brittany says.
"Here i'll read it." Marco takes the book and skims over it to himself. "Wait so does Glossaryck have a sister or not?"
Anyways, Marco continues to read, until it reaches the section where it talks about Mewberty.
"Uh, ill let you read this bit." Marco says handing the book to Star. Who then awkwardly hands it to Moon. She decides not to actually read the book.
"Ok so basically once you enter Mewberty it will allow you to dip-down, and basically use magic without a wand."
"You can do that?" Star says astounded. "Narwhal blast!" She says raising her hands, but nothing.
"You haven't hit Mewberty yet Star. And after what we just saw I think im going to keep you someplace secure after a few months." Moon says thinking about the episode where Star nearly destroyed the school in her mewberty form.
"Aww."
"Anyways." Moon transforms into her own butterfly form infront of the humans, they are astounded, she has purple skin and sex arms and large beautiful wings. "When you first go through mewberty your wings are small but they grow, and after years of training you will be able to transform at will. In this form I also have access to Omatidia eyes which can allow you to see various dimensions. Although there was this one queen Soupina the Strange who wasn't able to turn them off, she had to leave mewni."
"Is she in this book?" Jackie asks.
"Uh, no she was a more ancient queen." Moon says.
"Aw."
"Now, some queens are able to dip-down after mewberty, others don't." Moon says.
Then she hads the book back to Star who skips through all the things her mom just summarized and Star skips ahead.
"Oh hey look Glossarycks bucket list. Wait I thought Glossaryck was supposed to be immortal?" Star shrugs and reads through the ones he hasn't crossed off yet. "Roast pudding, find long-lost brother, say nothing but "Globgor" for a year, create competent life from nothing" The MHC huff at that. "Change my voice, be in two places at once, fire the MHC."
"WHAT!?" "Bahhhh?" the Commission yell.
"Don't worry he needs both mine and Stars approval to do that as well." Moon says calming the commission down.
Star opens the next page and there are bugs everywhere.
"Bleh, wait are these Glossarycks pets?" Star says reading the names on the page by each bug. "Silky, Stinky, Sassafras, Stormy, Simone and Sally. Aw they are kinda adorable."
The star chaotically flips through the book to Skywynne's page.
"Ok so who wants to actually read about the queens now?"
Everyone raises their hands.
"Uh, were getting close to the end of our break now." Omnitraxus says.
"Omnitraxus is right Star. We've already given them a description of the previous queens. Lets atleast watch the next episode and then you can show them more of the book."
Another note fell out of the book. Now Raphael picked it up.
"From Glossaryck, I recommend skimming through Solaria's chapter real quick."
"Ok so," Star opens the book to the depiction of Skywynne, a red haired woman with hourglass shaped cheek marks. "Skywynne, Mewni's 27th queen had two kids." Star says. "First there was Prince Justhin." She turns to the image of a fashionable purple haired boy with four-leaf clovers on his cheaks. "Then 14 years later was Solaria." Star turns to the image of Solaria.
She is a tall, red haired woman with her undercut hair tied in a very long braid. She is clad in battle armor and holding her sword-wand with a look that says 'I am confident I can destroy you'. Her cheek-marks are lighting bolts.
Star continues.
"Ok so main thing to know about Solaria is that she created the Solarian warriors." Star turns to the chapter called "The New Magical Army" where Solaria details the warriors with drawings of a mewman woman. "Mewman soldiers enhanced with magic to make them powerful enough to stand against the monsters."
Marco leans in and reads the descriptions of each spell.
"B.E.A.R. takes away fear? B.O.A.R. Takes away conscience? R.A.P.T.O.R. Enhance all senses in battle? This is insane who would volunteer to become this?"
"Yeah look at that." Jackie says pointing at the image of what she assumed to be a solarian warrior next to the queen. She is a massive hulking figure, with blank eyes and sharp teeth, her long braids flowing all over the place. "Mina Loveberry?" Jackie reads.
"Yep, Mina Loveberry, Solaria's first volunteer and Mewni's greatest warrior." Star says before sighing. "She is so amazing."
"Wait, you mean she's still alive?" Marco asks.
"Yes, the solarian Metamorphosis halted her aging." Moon says. Then she looks sad. "However you are right Marco, the process was insane. It damaged some of her sanity and it only got worse over time. Im sorry Star but in recent years she…..she hasn't been well."
"Mom you always used to tell me stores of how she fought with you on the battlefield. She gave you away at your wedding."
"In recent years she's gotten worse Star, I hardly recognize her. And Mina's lucky, she's the only Solarian that's managed to survive for so long." Moon says sadly.
"Hey as long as she's destroying monsters and protecting mewmans she can be as crazy as a bird house." Rhombulus says.
Star gives Rhombulus a look before flipping through some of the pages slowly. After the next couple of pages Janna shouts.
"Wait!"
"What?" Star asks.
"Look at that."
Janna points to a drawing of Solaria smiling at a child on her shoulders. Star reads the description on the page.
"Oh that's Solaria with Eclipsa, her daughter. What about it?"
"Star….look at her marks." Marco says pointing at the girls marks.
They were spades.
"They are spades everyone!" Janna shouts.
Everyone gasps.
"Ok so now we have a full deck of cards." Skeeves says.
Then Jackie starts. "Ok so Eclipsa is a Spade, Heinous is a Club, Moon is a Diamond and Star is a Heart? Are the four of you supposed to be really important?"
"Im reading Eclipsa's chapter." Janna says skimming though until she gets to a section of the book which is sealed with a skull-shaped lock and chains. "I hot this im a master locksmith."
"Trust me she is." Marco says to Moon thinking to all the times she unlocked his locker, among other things.
The scared queen quickly grabs the book away from the teen rebel.
"Hey!"
"This book is not to be read!" Moon shouts. "You want to know about Eclipsa I will tell you. She is called the Queen of Darkness because she abandoned her husband and her kingdom to run off with a monster!"
"Ohhh, had girl." Janna says approvingly.
"Wait, so Solaria, the monster craver, gave birth to a queen who ran off with one?" Marco said confused.
"Aww, so romantic." Starfan13 said.
"It wasn't romantic it was abhorrent!" Omnitraxus says.
"In addition she didn't respect the natural order, she meddled in the dark arts and this chapter is full of dangerous evil magic! That is why it will never be opened."
Moons eyes widen as she hears something snap and fall off.
She looks down and sees Janna holding the skull-shaped lock in her hands. Grinning at her.
Moon glares and closes the book before giving it to Hekapoo.
"Hekapoo please take this back to my study, I will reseal the chapter after all this."
"Of course." Hekapoo opens a portal with her scissors and steps into it.
Only to be tossed back.
"What?" She asks confused.
Hekapoo gets up and she pushes on the portal some more. She grunts and groans but she is unable to go through.
"Uh, your supposed to be going to Mewni right?" Rhombulus dumbly asks.
"Of course I am you idiot! I just…cant….get….woah!" Hekapoo is pushed back again and the spellbook flies right into Stars hands.
"Ok…." Omnitraxus states. "Clearly something is preventing us from leaving the dimension."
"I bet its Glossaryck." Rhombulus says.
Another note falls out of the book.
Star reads it.
"Yes."
"Let us just continue watching ok?" Omnitraxus says before everyone moves to take their seats again.
Ok I know what your all thinking, LockandKey! WHF? We thought we were going to actually read the queens chapters but instead you wasted our time on Glossaryck!?
Well sorry but honestly, I don't have the time to go through he entire book before the cast has to get back to watching the series. Maybe later.
Also, I am still trying to be cautious of copyright so even if I do it will just be summarized paragraphs, later on though.
If you want to understand exactly WHAT I am summarizing you can easily find the Book Of Spells online. I was looking at a PDF of it when I was writing this.
I am thinking that Star will read more of the book after season 2 premiers and before Battle for Mewni. That way they can read Eclipsa's chapter and understand the Queen of Darkness better.
For now, I just wanted everyone to get some Mina Background.
Thanks.
One more intermission chapter before we get back to business.
But we just had Star and the others sit down to watch the show again? How can there be another intermission? Well…..wait.
