It's been a week and I'm actually feeling better now. I've calmed down a bit and I think I can handle going to Mewni now. All I have to do is practice a few spells and call Star.
I prepare a simple Narwhal Blast, worried about Star, only for my wand to glow green and shoot green gunk.
Huh that's weird. Lemme try that again.
I decide to summon a bean bag chair this time, only for it too to come out wrong, the living chair's face malformed as the creature coughs.
OK this isn't good. Uhhhh...
I open my spell book and inquire to the blue creature within, "Hey Glossaryck, something is wrong with my wand."
"OK well I knew this would happen," Glossaryck sighs, "Comet, I need to ask you a question. Does the name Jushtin mean anything to you?"
"I'm pretty sure Jushtin was a queen who ruled for a year, but was so twisted that Eclipsa overthrew her," I explain, "That Eclipsa was preferable. To speak her name is forbidden on Mewni."
"OK Comet," Glossaryck sighs, "Well we need to go into your wand but first let me tell you a story..."
"It was hundreds of years ago in the past, Jushtin was the first boy ruler of Mewni, but it sadly only lasted a year before his sister took the throne, followed by his niece Eclipsa. Everything Jushtin had ever done was pinned on Eclipsa, and Jushtin was all but erased from history. To this day, no one knows what became of Jushtin, boy queen of Mewni."
"Boy queen!?!" I demand eagerly, "Can I see his chapter!?!"
"Kid Eclipsa's chapter may have been bad but Jushtin's..." Glossaryck sighs, "You're not ready for that."
"There was a boy queen!" I exclaim eagerly.
"A queen hated more than Eclipsa and erased from history," Glossaryck reminds, "But yes. Now listen Comet, your wand has something that does not belong, and we must go inside it in order to fix the problem. Are you ready?"
I nod, and Glossaryck claps his hands. I find myself suddenly in a version of my room where everything is the same save for my wand being missing.
"So what do we do?" I ask.
"Whatever happens focus on me," Glossaryck explains, "If we get seperated your memories of being in the wand can overlap and replace you. So whatever happens-"
"Hey have you seen my skateboard?" Johnson inquires with his blonde hair reflecting sunlight through the window.
"Sorry," I reply, "I haven't. Hey how's Jim? Has he talked to Star?"
"Oh yeah he-" Johnson begins to explain.
"Comet no!" Glossaryck explains, "We have to find what doesn't belong."
"Hey," Marcie enters, "Are you OK?"
"Yeah I'm just handling something with Glossar- uh oh," as I realize my mistake and turn to look at Glossaryck, I realize he is no longer present, and find myself in a dark, desolate version of school.
Well better get searching I suppose.
I begin to wander the winding halls until I happen across a doorway from the castle I've never actually entered.
I open the door only to find it to be the Grandma room, with all the poems for every queen of Mewni. They're all things I've heard before, save for one, Eclipsa's, which above has a tapestry of her fighting a young man in a maroon hat with a feather fighting her, sending her into a massive vortex of swirling colors.
I begin to read...
Eclipsa the banished.
Desperate to defeat the queen,
A dangerous Prince was freed.
Banished by the prince's fury,
Eclipsa was never seen.Presumed dead after years,
But took the prince's life,
And ever since that day,
We've hid this poem from Mewmen eyes.Strange. So Justin fought Eclipsa? Then when did he die?
Another area lights up, revealing a tapestry of Justhin, glaring at his sister. I begin to read...
The Forbidden Prince.
A prince for but a year,
When taken from him he went mad,
Destoryed himself by facing Eclipsa,
The queen that was banished.Forgotten and buried,
Is Jushtin's legacy.
Dead by his own spell when the curse began,
Taking his sister in it's grasp.So the curse started with Jushtin's sister? Did Eclipsa curse her own mother? It doesn't add up.
Also dead by his own spell? Could he dip down? Is that how he fought Eclipsa?
Something here doesn't-
"Oh hello coward!" A voice exclaims entering the room. I turn to see an enraged version of myself, green lightening sparking off his body as he smirks, continuing to speak, "Well well well. Look what I've caught. A little bug in my web. Ha ha!"
"Are you me?" I ask.
"I'm you but I have the guts to kill River, Star, and destory Mewni," he explains, "I'm you but darker."
"Ow the edge," I sarcastically retort.
"They'll never see it coming when I take your place!" He exclaims.
"Comet!" Glossaryck yells barging in and pulling his eye open, "We have to go!"
"And leave without this?" The dark me chuckles removing his hat.
Wait.
That's Jushtin's hat!
"That's the thing that doesn't belong!" I exclaim.
"Come and get it!" The dark memory laughs, shooting green lightning at me as I charge, narrowly avoiding each bolt and remembering my karate training and using it to sweep the apparition off his feet to steal his hat.
"Comet let's go!" Glossaryck exclaims pulling me into his eye, leading me back into my room, the wand in one hand and the hat in the other.
I catch my breath and sit down with a sigh, "What are we gonna do now? He's still in here? Isn't he?" I tap my head to show Glossaryck I'm referring to that other me.
"Yeah he is," Glossaryck sighs, "But what can you do Comet? I mean River is on Earth now, so you and him can work out a plan."
I sigh and grip my wand, "I need help. I need help Glossaryck."
"Like a therapist?" Glossaryck asks.
I nod.
"We can figure something out," Glossaryck explains, "Just, take a deep breath. It's going to be OK."
"Thanks," I smile wearily.
"Anytime," Glossaryck replies, "Now, I must be going. Magic business and all."
Glossaryck closes the book, leaving me with only that maroon hat and the now functional wand. I look in my mirror and place the hat on my head, a smile growing on my face.
"Boy queen eh?" I chuckle to myself, "Well maybe great minds think alike."
I will be the next boy queen of Mewni...
Also yes, I'm keeping the hat.
