Flipped Star

Star Comes to Earth CH.1

Far, far away, in a magical land called Mewni, lived a princess — Star Butterfly. She was fated to become the ruler of the largest kingdom in her dimension. And by most accounts, she fulfilled her current role perfectly. Polite, proper and always respectful Star was a prime example of what every princess should be.

However, today was the day when Star faced the biggest challenge of her princessly duties. This was the day when Star was meant to receive the royal wand of the Butterfly family. An artefact given from one queen to another, for as long as the kingdom of Mewni existed. The source of the royal family's extraordinary magical capabilities. The ceremony that was overshadowed only by the coronation of the new queen was occurring to Star, today.

The importance of this occasion was playing a serious number on the princess's fragile nerves. Chewing on the nail of her thumb Star's eyes darted all around the familiar entrance to the main throne room. The elaborate doors and exquisite patterns on the walls now seemed too perfect. Star felt out of place surrounded by this beauty. It felt like she was not worth it. Like she wasn't good enough. Like she wasn't beautiful enough. If only someone knew what thoughts swirled in Star's mind. They would without a doubt object. Especially when it came to the princesses looks.

Star, according to many young bachelors of the dimension, was an exquisite beauty. Fair skin, shiny long blond hair, sky blue eyes and two perfect little harts on her cheeks, the tell-tale signs of a Butterfly. Truly perfection. Especially now as the princess was dress in a long, puffy blue dress befitting a young woman of her stature. Her locks styled up, adding at least 20 centimetres to the girl's height, in a shape somewhat resembling a hart, a traditional hairstyle for the royal family by now. She was truly marvellous.

But all those ideas skipped Star's mind. The only thoughts spinning in her head were how goofy the hare looked and how easily she will trip on the long dress. How she can ruin this important occasion. At that moment the cooling of her name seemed more like a sentence for utter shame than a start to a new period of life.

"Princess Star Butterfly!" the announcer proclaimed. His booming voice snapping Star out of the vortex of thoughts. It was the sign, the sign for it to start. Star cleaned her throat and shoved the nerves to the back of her mind. She had duties, and she will not let her ineptitude ruin this important day.

The grand doors of the throne room open as Star stepped in. Both sides of the teal carpet packed with people. Nobility and high officials of Mewni were there in addition to the Royal families of the realm. All these people had their eyes on Star evaluating her and judging her every move. Yet, now they weren't important. The only two people that Star cared about were in front of her standing next to their respectful thrones. The queen and king of Mewni, Moon and River Butterfly, Star's parents.

Moon was a slender tall woman. She had pinkish skin and looked like she was in her late 30's. She had silver hair styled in a tall hart shaped updo, like Star's at this moment. The queen had sky blue eyes and two diamond-shaped marks on her cheeks. A soft smile danced on her magenta collard lips as she looked upon her nervous daughter.

River was a much shorter man than his wife but at the same time well build. The king looked to be of similar age to Moon. River had blond hair and although the crown hid a bald spot on top of his head he had a long well-kept beard. He had fair skin and blue eyes that looked upon Star expectantly and with a bit of judgment.

Star moved forward with purpose. Back straight steps quick, but not too wide. The ceremonial music faded as the young princess focused on the wand in her mother's hand. This was the butterfly family wand. In its current form, it looked like a golden sceptre with an elegant crystal blue heart on top of it. "How will the wand look when I touch it?" Star wondered stepping closer to the thrones.

You see this magical artefact of extraordinary power had a unique feature. It took the shape dependent on the wands current wielder. Throughout the history of the Butterfly family it took many shapes from a broom that the queen could fly on, to a sword that cut through anything. It all depends on the queen that wielded it, and Star was next in this grate succession.

As Star reached her parents, Moon smiled, just for her baby. "Star," the queen began," as Queens before me I am proudly bestowing upon you the royal wand. This act brings me immense joy and I hope that this artefact will help you as much as it has helped me."

The Queen outstretched the wand towards her daughter. Star hesitated. But a stern glance from her father ushered her to take the wand.

When Star grasped the wand, it sparked to life drowning the great room in brilliant yellow light. The girl felt the wand changing in her hand but at the same time she felt something else. Energy washing over her body. Never in her life Star felt anything like that. It made her feel powerful like she could do anything in the world and most peculiarly, free. This rush of energy lasted only for a moment, the wand's lithe died out and Star was back to normal.

The princess opened her blue eyes and looked upon her mother's... no, her wand. It didn't look that different from when it was in Moon's possession. The handle was still the same wonderful sceptre, but the head was different. Instead of a blue hart, the top was now decorated whit a yellow crystal shaped like a young moon laying on its back. The wand was beautiful, one could not argue. Star always loved how her mother's wand looked, but she felt weird about how similar their wands were.

As these thoughts and many other overwhelmed Star, her body froze staring at the wand. Before the girl could snap back to reality all the guests in the throne room stood up and bowed to the Mewni's crowned princess.
