Kingdom of Sol
Mewni Castle
June 10, 2019
White Cloak
I entered the room with Romby, he closed the door behind me and locked it so no one could in...or that's what I thought he did, kinda hard to see with his snake arms covering everything. I crossed my arms, i wanted to go with Marco we haven't spent a lot of time recently he just got back and he's always with my Mom or Lesa working. I shouldn't complain...he is doing this for me and my mom after all, but its still sucks. "Star can you uncrystalize her for me" I looked and saw Eclipsa embedded in crystal. I pulled out my wand and uncrystalized her, her head flopped on the crystal and she took a huge breath.
"Oh...Hello star how are you sweetie" I looked at Romby as he walked to me. "Ok can i freeze her again?" Romby sat down. "No star we need to interrogate her apparently there's another butterfly that's still alive according to Lesa" When he said that i couldn't help but sigh. "Another problem...great" I walked up to Eclipsa and pointed my wand at her. "I'm sure you know how this works, you tell me what i want and i don't freeze you and push this rock over" Eclipsa smiled. "You definitely have my dark humor, ok sweetie i'll tell you but you have to keep it a secrets of those knights" i put my wand down and eyed her. "What knights?" Romby stood up. "Well i guess i have to tell you, Marco , Lesa and Queen Moon are having a meeting with the Knights of Mewni to discus peace between them" 'So that's why i couldn't go,' I just sighed knowing my anger would've gotten the best of me if i saw them. "Sure Eclipsa i wont tell them now tell me everything". She smiled and nodded her head. "Well there isn't much i can tell you in all honesty, she has a special attribute though. Once killed she can return to her body but it takes years before she's fully alive again" I groaned, romby stood up and walked next to me. "So she's invulnerable"
Eclipsa shook her head "You can kill her but she'll return if she desires to". I looked at romby then back at her. "How come modern butterflies cant do that?". Eclipsa grinned "Well the ways of the old butterflies were a lot different then us...there were no wands, the magic was embedded within them and they had to find it to use there full power; the wand now is like a gateway for the magic to flow through but because of that our magic isn't as strong as theirs". I walked away from Eclipsa in thought. "So if i tried...fighting her i'd-"
"You would die..." Eclipsa said with no emotion or guilt. "You would die, Marco would die and the only one who would stand a chance against her is me and why would help my captives." I looked at her to see her glaring at me with death emitting from her eyes. "And she's coming...she wants the new butterflies to perish to make way to the old butterfly ways...Butterfly Kingdom while known as Kingdom of Sol...and you...and Marco...your mother will be nothing but the dust she steps on-" I let my anger get best of me and slapped her with my wand. "If you think i'm just gonna let her just take whats rightfully ours, you've got another thing coming...she's going to have to burn me into nothing but air before give up!" Eclipsa laughed "She can do that too" Romby stepped in between us. "How do you know all of this?" Eclipsa looked confused. "You mean you cant hear her voice" when she said that i just thought she went insane. "Hear what!?" Eclipsa hushed me "Marco can hear her im surprised you cant" A knight came running in. "Sir Rombuhlus we have an issue, an unknown woman covered in a white cloak is assaulting the throne room" Eclipsa smiled "Well she's early" I hit her again before crystallizing her, romby grabbed my arm. "Head to your mother and warn her" I nodded and ran to the meeting room, i could smell the burning cloth and the screams of knights and fighting in the distance 'no...no this...this cant be happening'. I quickly open the door and see mom speaking with a presume to be one of the knights. "Star what are you-" "Mom someone invaded the castle a woman covered in white cloak, Eclipsa said it was Mewni" The knight bolted up and look at me in the eyes with disbelief. "Mewni!?...i knew she'd come back but...not this early" He began exiting the room before mom stopped him. "Kalex do you know her?" Kalex looked back and nodded "She's the reason i'm alive today...and if she's really here i have to see her. He ran out and i followed along with mom. We arrived there to see Marco, Lesa and the Red Suns fighting...a woman in white cloak. It was pretty clear she was winning the knights were battered up, Marco had bruises everywhere and Lesa was in complete rage. Lesa slid avoiding of her blast rays and kicked Mewni sending her back which gave time for Marco to pull out his sword and attempt to finish her off. "MARCO NO!" Kalex yelled and i looked closely and saw Mewni smiling the hood covering her eyes...and my heart dropped. Marco went in the kill, Mewni's wings burst open impaling Marco in the chest and stomach. I stood helplessly and watch as her frozen ice wings killed...him. He looked at her and whispered something.."im sorry Mewni" He fell on his back and was bleeding out. I ran to him as fast as i could as the rest did there best to hold her off. I fell next to him and started crying. "MARCO LOOK AT ME EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK, DONT CLOSE YOUR EYES PLEASE JUST KEEP THEM ON ME!"Marco grabbed my arm trying to get up. "No Marco you cant you have to lay for a bit ok, im going to heal you but you have to keep your eyes on me ok" His chocolate brown eyes filled with tears looked at me...but i couldn't look back at them" I hummed to him as the noise of fighting filled my ears to were i couldn't here myself humming...but for Marco thats all he heard...was my humming...and my voice...and my skin...my love. The healing spell was working but...it wasn't going to save him it was just going to give me enough time to figure out a way to help him. He grabbed my hand
"He...help them...i'll be f-f-fine" I looked back and saw everyone badly hurt and most of the knights were out...it was only Lesa, Kalex and Mom fight her now. "They...wont win...we...can't...just...keep...her busy" I looked at Marco and he looked back...i knew he had some plan going on, i healed him as much as i could before laying him down at a safe distance from the fight. "Star...be careful" I looked at him and nodded. "I promise" I stood up filled with anger and charged into battle not knowing if we'd win or not...but fueled with the will of protecting my family, Friends and my kingdom i found the confidence to fight back...for now.
"Kalex!...you fight but why...wasn't this our ultimate goal...to restore my kingdom, to bring me back and fix what they destroyed?" Mewni spoke as she flung a huge ball of energy at Kalex who cut it in half with what looked like ease. I kept my distance waiting for the chance to strike while Kalex and Mom kept her busy."Yes it was and thats what im doing!...but i expressed to you that no conflict nor war should take place" Kalex stopped fighting and slowly walked toward her, Mom looked at him in disbelief and all i could do was sit back and watch. "Kalex What are you doing?" Mom yelled at him to no response." Need not to worry Queen Butterfly...she wont...she cant kill me" Kalex stood right in front of her."Mewni...we're so close...i was negotiating the terms to get our land back...why did you attack" Mewni looked at him...a look filled with love, fear...but most importantly Darkness, now that she was still i could see that her eyes were black covered in...purple...marks...Eclipsa."I was pulled here...it called me here...i have no control nor resilience to stop...no matter how much i try" Kalex looked back at Mom. I ran out and charged at Mewni." Kalex she's dark magic corrupted her mind, ECLIPSA PUT THAT MAGIC THERE!" I jumped up in the air and charged my strongest Narwhal Blast to the point to where the wand was shaking, and for a moment everything seemed calm...slow...i saw Mom, Lesa...Marco...and Mewni but not Kalex...he...wasn't there. At that moment i felt a hand grab my wand and aim it down, my wand fired down causing me to propel up. Before i hit the ceiling i felt arms grasp my stomach from the back...it felt familiar and warm...whoever it was hit the ceiling and as we descended they turned around and hit the floor...still holding me. I fall over and from the corner of my eye i see...Marco laying next to me."Star...Eclipsa...had noting to do with this...Mewni is being controlled by Dark Magic...you cant stop her but I can" He pulls up his sleeve and reveals the signature dark marks with purple lines that Eclipsa has. Mom ran over to help me up making sure i was ok, Mewni tried to blast me but Kalex redirected it and tried holding her hands yelling her name to try to break out of her trans...but all i saw was Marco's arm. "Star i dont have much time before i end up like her...and that may be our only hope" I helped him up and shook him."MARCO ARE YOU INSANE! IM NOT LETTING THAT HAPPEN!" Mewni threw Kalex aside as Lesa and Mom headed over to hold her off. Tom ran down the hall and entered the room and began assisting too. "Star thats our only hope, you need to head back to earth with your mother in case i fail" I grabbed Marco's shirt, at this point i was trying my best no to cry or lose it. Tom locked her in a golden coffin,"This should hold her off for now...but she's freaking powerful this thing wont keep her locked forever" Everyone headed towards Marco was kept his down."Marco please tell me you have some sort of idea or anything" Lesa said half panting. He looked up and smiled...but it wasn't full of happiness or joy...but of determination and sadness."Yeah i do..." I grabbed him by his shoulder,"No you don't Marco, we can leave together we can find something to stop the darkness within you you don't have to...to die here" Everyone stood quiet and looked at Marco."Marco...what is she talking about" Tom said walking towards him. Everyone looked at his arm and saw the dark magic building up. Everyone stood quiet,"I know...its not the smartest but...time isnt on our side...i can stay here...hold her off long enough to evacuate the kingdom...for you all to go to earth to live to fight another day!". Tom walked slowly back. "Marco...your right eye...is black. I looked...he was right and seeing this...shattered my heart to million little pieces...my whole world...my whole body...just went numb and all i could do now...is accept that...Marco is dying." Like i said i don't have time", he opened a portal with his scissors and looked at everyone."He's right...we should take this chance to escape...maybe he'll defeat her but for now we need to guarantee star's safety, even if there is no kingdom to rule star is still important to defeating Mewni" Mom said holding my hand."Me and Lesa will stay behind...this is our home and if it goes down we go with it" Kalex said grabbing Lesa's shoulder. "Tom, Star and Queen Moon...you guys are the only hope we have to stopping her...this portal leads to my room" The coffin began to break."Go before she gets free" Tom walked up to him and hugged him"You better make out of here alive...even if you are a mindless killing machine" Marco smiled and patted his back. Mom walked up to him and kissed his head."You have no idea how much i appreciate what you've been to us and especially star...i wish i could help...and if you survive...i promise you i'll find a way to fix you...even if i have to travel to the deeps of darkness and i'm sure i speak for star too" Marco hugged her."Thank you Moon...please...make sure you take care of my parents for me ok...you're getting the break you deserve after all" Marco well up with tears."I just wish it was on better circumstances" She said before entering the portal to. I walked up to him and i could do was move my mouth but no words were spoken."He hugged me and all i could do was hug back and cry...cry for what felt like ages."I love you" All i heard was an explosion...screams from Lesa and Kalex as Marco threw me in the portal...and the last i saw was his face...filled with tears but both his eyes...black and his face filled with darkness...then nothing but the sight of his ceiling. My Mom, Tom and Marco's parents all were yelling at me...probably asking me questions or trying to awake me from my trans...but i heard nothing; i only felt. loneliness, grief, sadness...and my while to live gone...even now i still wonder what they had said.
