In a large building somewhere in the multiverse, the magic high commission was having an impromptu meeting regarding future plans, and right now Omntraxis had the floor
"...Given the recent events, I believe that the commission should take control, with Moon being well the way she is now, and there have been no signs the Princess, we should…" he was soon interrupted by a hand to which he groaned. "Yes, Eclipsa?"
"Didn't mean to interrupt but wouldn't be more logical to have the young heir take thr throne for the time being?" She suggested.
"The boy is a commoner, and the people don't trust him not after what happened?" Hekapoo interjected.
That may be, but you haven't even given him a chance, and it's not like he's doing it alone after all he does have us helping, right?" Eclipsa said with a smirk. Making the other council members groaned in frustration.
"As always you are right, Eclipsa," Rhombulus said. Making the woman smile.
"You Am surprised that you didn't suggest that you take the throne, aren't you a butterfly too?" Omni asked.
"Oh, no i'm much too old and busy to deal with a kingdom." She chuckled. "Plus if I took the throne the situation would be so much worse." She added. "Now if there is anything else, I shall take my leave." As she got up and left the room, everyone looked at each other, well if we're going to allow this, then the boy must be trained and I believe Hekapoo should do." Omntraxis said
"Whoa, why are you putting me on babysitting duties again?" She asked.
"Because, you can get them to lower their guards," Rhombulus said.
"What about Baby?" She asked.
"She only works with the queen, it has to be you, will be too busy going to the neighboring kingdoms to make sure that there are no territorial disputes happens," Omni said. Hekapoo groaned as she got up and left the room, leaving the boys to themselves
-Elsewhere-
Marco drenching with sweat was digging near the fallen castle trying to find his wife, everyone one was doing the best that they can to make sure that no looters or peasants take anything, but Marco was focusing on finding Star.
"Come on Star, let me know that you are okay?" He asked. "I'm almost there you must be so scared right now." He thought
-with Star-
A loud explosion was heard as the dust settled revealing that Star punching her away through another bolder. Her arms pulsing as she took a deep breath, she pulled out her half-eaten rat carcass and ate the rest of it.
"Okay I should have reached softer soil, maybe I can start digging now." She said as she shot out her claws and started digging up.
"Come on butterfly, Marco is waiting for you!" She said as she started digging upwards.
-Meanwhile-
Marco was taking a break from digging, drench in sweat a servant went over and handed him some water.
"Thank you," he said as he went over to his tent and then started to sketch on a makeshift map. "It's been too days why haven't found that damn dungeon!" Marco groaned.
"Excuse me sir." Marco looked back and saw Manfried.
"Yes, what is it?" He asked.
"A member of the high commission is here for you, sir." He said
"Look, tell them I'm busy." He said
"Yeah, I don't think so." Marco looked back the meet Hekapoo. "Long time no see, glad to see that you're arm is feeling better." She said walking up to him.
"I'm sorry but have we met?" He asked
"Sort of, I watched over you while you were being patched up after you murdered Tom." She said.
"Please don't talk about, look Miss…"
"Hekapoo, look kid, I'm just here to check up on you, since everything." She said
"I appreciate that but unless you're going to help, I don't need you here." He said
"(Sigh) Look kid, I'm not trying to talk bad right now, but you need to understand something until Queen Moon is sane again or Princess Star is found, they need a leader kid." She said
"What the hell do you think I've been doing, I'm trying to find Star she's been taught on how to deal with this I haven't! I need her to be here, I… I need her to be safe!" He said. Hekapoo then placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I get it, but let the guards handle this they will find the Princess I promise." She said
"But…"
"Kid, the people need a leader and right now, you're the only one we got." Hekapoo then turned him towards her. "We'll find Star I promise," Hekapoo reassured, Marco, sighed as he much as he wanted to keep going the kingdom needs a leader, and knowing Star, she's isn't sitting around waiting for him. "Alright." He said as he left with Hekapoo.
-Meanwhile-
The ground started to dig up and open revealing a bloody gray claw and then another as they grabbed solid ground they began pulling up their owner Star, she took a deep breath of fresh air. She looks around and found that she was alone, as she continued to pull herself out fully she lays on her back and breathing heavily.
"I...I did it!" She said as she raised her arms weekly and watched as her arms fell to her sides, but as she Star did she passed out but as she a shadow covered her and begin to drag her away.
