Marco Diaz: The Sword of Mewni
Chapter 4
With a sword sheathed on his back, Marco went outside of Gladius's ram-shackle hut, the hut was located in the middle of a disgusting swamp, it smelled like water-bloated graveyard, the smell of rotting flesh coupled with the scenery of a moss covered marsh was the least of Marco's worries, he didn't falter from the smell, for he knew for a fact that he has to save his best friend from the clutches of the Iron Inquisition.
"You must venture into this world without my help...Marco Diaz." The Sword-bearer Gladius remarked as he stayed behind in the hut as Marco didn't respond to the Commander's words.
Gladius did not dare to follow Marco onto his quest, he must remain hidden and away from the various towns and cities of Mewni, the Iron Inquisition did not know of Gladius's whereabouts and he would like to keep it that way, he would like to be a pocket dagger, hidden but ready, and willing to strike down, with a slow, but patient gait, Marco traversed across the swamp, being as vocally silent as possible, not wanting to disturbing the bug-ridden peace that the swamp possessed.
The Human Hero was quietly wondering to himself, he was genuinely surprised in two things, the first being that he was surprised by how Mewni was now being taken over by an Inquisition of Monstrous Metal Masters who hate magic, and the second thing was that he was putting this on himself to try to rescue Star and maybe save all of Mewni.
Marco was so taken aback that he did not dare to even exclaim with it, not even knowing whether or not he was even capable of fulfilling Gladius's tall tales, only time will tell for Marco Diaz and his quest to rescue Star Butterfly.
The Princess of Mewni woke up as she felt chained and strained, she was a darkly-lit room, well, more like a cell more than anything else, she felt spikes stabbing into her but she wasn't so sure, like the chains and coils she was bounded was stunted with nails to keep her from struggling more, someone approached her in the cell, her eyes turned into a dagger-like glare as it was the same Commander that kidnapped her in the first place.
"You feeling well...Magic User?" Moloch said with a growl as Star managed to glare at the sleek red knight, the rage within the Red Knight's maigic-heating
"What did you do to my parents?!" She asked in a threatening tone, her defiance shining through when sh causing Moloch to growl in a menacing manner, despite his growing frustration, the Knight of the Morning Star was slow to answer Star Butterfly.
"They are chained and trapped like you...Magic User..." Star began to struggle causing her to scream pain as she felt the iron bands dig into her flesh.
"Don't struggle to much girl...The more you move, the more the nails stab into you..." Moloch warned, the pain began to subside for Star when she decided to stop moving, already she felt blood trickle down her body, her own blood began to stain her cyan blue royal princess dress.
Star despite being known for her recklessness and her rebellious nature actually obeyed to the creatures command, refusing to move a single inch so that she wouldn't feel more in pain.
"Why are you doing this?" She asked desperately, this time bearing a tone of worry in her feminine voice, The Knight of the Morningstar chuckled under his breath as he caressed the Princess's cheek through the prison bars using his more sleek and small hand.
"Because, the stench of magic enrages us...It smells of rotting flesh and bleaching bone, it smells of our loss and torn home, the home that you and your magic stole from us...If it weren't for Our King's words of needing your natural magic and the wand you bear, your body would be broken and your soul would be seized." Moloch said in a soothing but threatening manner.
"We are the Iron Inquisition...We were born from the dirt and grime of your uncleanliness, our road to the rule of the land is paved through rock, stone and the blood of the magic users." Moloch continued to speak with a low-tone growl.
"We tried asking for peace, but due to your people's insolence, Our kindness was replaced with only our bodies being your pillars, your nails, your stone to your kingdoms...You bought this upon yourself...Magic User..." Moloch Finished as he walked away from Star's cell, leaving the princess to silence as the venom within the Morning Star Knight's voice still stung her like the prickling needles she was bounded with.
Sorry for the short chapter, I'm been experimenting with more smaller ones to see how it feels to me.
