"Now, Marco, have you ever wondered how the Butterfly Castle had to be so big, and having lots of rooms?" Star asked.
"Yeah, now that you mentioned it." Marco said. "You said the slopes of the Great Mewni Rock is Urania's fort and her tower. But how the castle has many structures? Is it the servants adjusted it ordered by the queen?"
"No, it's because of her, the Fourth queen of Mewni." Star pointed the tapestry next to Estelaria. "Hemera the Builder."
Marco stared at the tapestry of the fourth queen, which he was familiar with her looks. This fourth queen has a gold gorget and lapis lazuli on a white tunic of lightweight and fine fabric with a gold ribbon strapped to the waist fastening a blue apron that falls on the underside of the tunic. Two pairs of gold bracelets, one on the cuffs and another at the height of the arms. Butterflies hair clips of gold on her black hair and gold ballet shoes. Her crown was around her forehead that has a golden giant butterfly on the middle, and little hearts and pink butterflies around the crown. Her cheekmarks are pink pyramids, and wore red lipstick and blue eye shadows. She held her that looked like an ankh stylized in heart, striped in gold and lapis-lazuli and a blue butterfly-shaped crystal. Still has Glossaryck beside her, like the other queens.
Hemera the Builder
Building her thoughts into reality,
Constructing a long lasting legacy,
Was a structure so pristine,
Every hall, every room, fit for a queen."Hemera dressed like an Egyptian in Ancient Egypt." He commented when he read the pedestal.
"Egypt on Earth. Yeah, when I heard about Ancient Egypt, it reminded me of her." Star said. "In her past, Hemera was not like this, but she wished to have a larger castle. When she inherited the wand, her parents sent her to Elfendor, where she chose to study Architecture and Engineering. While she was there, she changed her appearance and became like this now. When she returned to Mewni, well... everybody didn't expect her to be like that. She wanted to rebuild the castle, but her mother said Hemera has to be a queen first."
"Just because Estelaria ruled Mewni during her years." Marco interrupted. "And how did she rebuild the castle without any servants or engineers to rebuild it for her?
"And that's why she waited until she was 22. When she was now Queen of Mewni, Hemera used her wand to cast a spell to rebuild the castle, but if she died, the spell would disappear with her. Because of this, Hemera used her magic only to erect the blocks of stone that were brought from a quarry to the north." Star explained more. "The rebuilding of the castle was finish. The old buildings, like Queen's tower, Urania's Fort, the Mewberty room, the crypts and the ramparts were renovated, and new ones were erected, such as Butterfly Palace, the Throne Room, the Celestum of Jokinna, the Ballroom, the Butterfly Gardens, the Tower of Stars, and among others. Her title 'The Builder' arose from there."
"Oh, so that's why she was called 'The Builder'"
"Duh. That's what she is now."
"Are there any spells of hers besides building?" Marco asked.
"Oh yes, Emerald Snake Strike." Star replied.
"Are there any more information?"
"Although they didn't get along with her sister, Lady Nixie, but she and Hemera decided to end their fight when their children got married."
"Wait a second, if Hemera and Nixie are sisters and their children, this means that their children are cousins?!"
"We'll find out later after we finish Hemera's story! So after they made amends with each other, the next morning was a big big tragedy. Worst than Estelaria. Hemera was found dead in her room with her husband, Roman Fields, even Nixie and her husband."
"What happened?"
"Hemera, Nixie, and their husbands drank the same wine during their children's wedding. Residues of Lacrimosa Poison were found in their drinks. The cause of their death was officially declared as poisoning, making Hemera the first Queen of Mewni murdered."
"So Hemera was murdered by her sister after they made up, and died? That's low, even for the two of them."
"Yeah, it was very awful. Nixie survived the poisoning, only to be executed by Hemera's daughter, Cosmica.Before Hemera died, the only thing we don't know that Hemera made rooms and passage, and never been found. Maybe there are secret rooms and passages here that she didn't tell anyone."
"Do you they still exist?"
"Maybe, we'll find them sooner if we have lots of time to explore this castle that Hemera left for all of us."
