"No!" I exclaim, "I won't let you!"

"He's a tratior Star," Moon replies, "he stole your wand."

"He's my brother!" I yell, "And I won't let you kill him!"

"No one's gonna know," Moon replies, "they'll never find his body."

"What is wrong with you!?!" I demand, "he's your son isn't he?"

"And he's betrayed your kingdom," Moon replies, "now if we don't get your wand back soon, I'm going to have to destory entire worlds until we find him. So are you going to do your duty and get your wand back or are you going to be a coward?"

"Fine," Star sighs, "I'll go, but I won't kill him."

"Suit yourself, but remember, if he was a proper heir..." Moon glares at me, "you would never have been born."

With that, Moon leaves the room. I pick up my pillow and cry into it, a brew of emotions welling up inside me. Rage, sadness, fear, all because of Comet. I tried to be nice, but Comet always hated me. Ever since he can back from the boarding school, which was when I learned he even existed, he just didn't like me. I wish we could get along, but now, if I don't find him, Moon will kill him.

There's a knock on the door.

"Busy," I lie.

River comes into the room anyways.

"Are you OK?" He asks.

"I'm fine," I lie.

"It's Moon," he asks, "isn't it?"

I nod.

"Dang it," River sighs, "look, before you go, there's something you need to know."

"What is it?"

"Moon is insane. Many years ago, when Eclipsa was killed by Glossaryck, she vowed all Queen's would be strong like her. Since then, every queen goes mad when they turn fifteen. It's not so much Eclipsa as it is their own darkness being unleashed. Look, Star, the only way you can be saved from Moon's fate is to not inherit Mewni. I want you to promise me you'll find a way out."

"I don't know if I can..."

"Promsie me I won't lose you like I lost her."

"I promise."

"Good. Now, be safe Star, if you fall, so does Mewni. You need to find Comet, but you need to find a way out. OK?"

"I understand."

"Very good."

River hugs me, "farewell Star. I know this I probably the last time I'll see you."

"Goodbye dad," I reply hugging him back. River leaves my room. I grab my scissors, a gift from my friend Ponyhead, a unicorn head with a soul patch and wavy hair and go to the obvious place Comet would run. He'd run right to Tiffany...

He'd run to The Underworld...
