Chapter 8 by The-Drunken-Bandit The-Drunken-Bandit

What do you pick?

Star Butterfly

Yes… Perhaps Star would be a good choice. Hopefully anyway…

With your selection of henchman completed you return to your throne and raise your hand that bears your gauntlet of power and clinch it into a fist as you begin to focus on dragging Star to the dungeon.

In response, the waters within the dungeon pool begin to turn faster and faster as they churn with magical energy. Slowly a light begins to shine from the dungeon heart pool as the water begins to feed into the dungeon heart in a powerful vortex.

All of this builds into this final climactic moment! Where there is a bright flash of light and you hear a loud splash as Star falls into the pool in which the dungeon heart rests.

As your vision returns from the blinding lights. You see the young princess begin to crawl her way out of the pool. She is soaked to the bone and her long calf length blonde hair obscures her vision.

*Cough*MA-*cough*RCO!” Star coughs out loudly for red hoodie-wearing Latino friend. Instead of hearing her friend's puberty stricken voice, she hears your calm baritone as you speak.

“I’m afraid mister Diaz isn't here Star butterfly.” You call out to the young princess. Almost immediately Star flips her hair back to clear her vision as she gets a good look at your Gothic armored form. You stand well over 7 feet tall in arcane enhanced magical Gothic plate armor with a hood to obscure your face into nonexistence as only your two glowing eyes are seen as they burn outwards.

Almost immediately Star jumps into action as she raises her wand and you can see that it is the season one iteration of her family’s magic wand.

NARWHAL-!” Star begins to shout as her wand begins to glow brightly with magical energy as she prepares to attack you. However, before she can even begin to do such a thing you raise your gauntlet of power in a fist and raise the magical barrier around the dungeon. This barrier isolates the dungeon from the outside world as it prevents any form of communication from getting in or out.

Those that do are only so because you wish it, this can also apply to magical connections to the outside worlds as well. For the results of raising the barrier are that it completely neutralizes stars wand before it even has a chance to harm you as the light soon dies out as you cut off its connection to the realm of magic of her homeworld.

In response, Star looks completely baffled as she looks at her wanting questioning even smacks it a couple of times.

EH! What! No, No, NO! I know I charged it this morning!” Star says loudly as she begins to inspect her wand in a panic. To which you can only laugh and jokingly mock the Princess.

“Having… Performance issues Princess?” You ask jokingly with a large Cheshire cat-like grin as you smile at the young princess. Star doesn’t take this jab very well and goes red in the face with embarrassment and anger as she soon stops messing with her wand and immediately begins to charge at you. In a futile attempt to maim you as she jumps at you with a high kick.

However, here in the dungeon YOU Are king! So, before the princesses foot can even make contact with your face you snap your fingers and immediately freeze her in midair. As she sits there floating in the air with the same angry snarl on her face, you stand up and walk over to look the princess in eye.

Though star may be frozen in mid-air she still retains the ability to move her eyes. As soon her once defiant eyes look at you with a twinge of fear as you stand next to her.

While you stand next to her you take in her appearance. From what you can tell star is about 18 years old at the very least. She stands about 5 foot 3 with athletically slim hourglass build. Her breasts aren't that large being only a medium B Cup at most. Her hips are relatively smaller than normal and she has a compact athletic bubble butt.

Overall you would have to say that the young princess is not beautiful… She’s more along the lines of a petite cutie. She might change with time to be more like her mother, but only time will tell…

“As fun as this is all been young princess, I think we should stop here. *Snap*” You say as you raise your hand and snap your fingers once again undoing the freezing spell causing the Princess to fall flat on her ass.

As you look down at the young princess she stares back at you and tries to scramble way a little in fear.

“W-What Are You!” Star stutters out in fear as she stares at you in terror.

“Me? I’m a villain honey And I’ve chosen you to be my henchman/apprentice.” You state cheerfully to which the Princess goes slack jaw for a little second as the cogs in her brain start to churn. Eventually, she does come to…

“What! I don’t want to Be your henchman and I don’t want to your apprentice!” Yells in both shock and offense as she glares at you. To which you chuckle a little and lean over to help the princess up as you offer a hand.

Star looks at this hand for a second before immediately slapping away. To which she immediately regrets is now she holds her hand in pain.

AAHHH! What are you made out of!” The young butterfly screams as you hold her hand. To which you chuckle to yourself a little.

“Oh, you know… Muscle, bone, and a whole lot of magic.” You say playfully as you pick the Princess up by her shoulders and set her down on her own 2 feet. Star does not find this funny as she still looks at you with anger.

“I don’t care about whatever you're made out of! You’re sending me home right now!” Star demands as she stomps her feet a little bit. You continue to chuckle, much to the young princesses ire as glares at you.

“Are you so certain that you want to go back?” You ask the young princess quickly as you immediately cut off your chuckling. Much to the confusion of the young princess as she still glares at you.

“Of course I want to go back why would I want to stay here!” Star shouts at you. In response, you simply just walk over to the dungeon heart and begin to summon several images from her home and quickly wave her over.

“Are you sure you want to go back to a place that thinks you’re a danger to everyone and everything around you?” You tell the Princess as you pull up the many images of the angry citizens of both echo creek and mewni as they glare at the young princess, who has once again caused unnecessary property damage and destruction to their everyday lives.

Star sputters a little bit as she stares into the pool and sees the angry faces of the people that she thought were okay with her.

“I-I L-look accidents happen all right!” Star sputters out as she tries to defend herself. In response, you simply just summon up another image this time of her parents look exhausted and are currently skimming over the many damages that they will have to pay for. All of these damages were of course caused by star and her reckless actions.

“Accidents? Is that what you call massive amounts of property damage that your parents have to pay for directly from the royal treasury! Did you think they simply sent you to earth to keep you safe?! No, they sent you to earth because it would be easier to pay for the damages that you cause on a daily basis!” You say disbelieving as Star gets a small glimpse of how much her parents have to pay every time she destroys something in her ‘accidents’.

“I-I-I-I!” Star tries to grasp for an answer as her eyes go wide at the sheer amount of money is poured from the royal treasury to pay for her misadventures. However, before she could come up with an answer you immediately pulled up an image of glossaryck, who was once again messing with pudding.

“Then there is your so-called teacher. Oh, he teaches you, but he doesn’t teach you near enough what you need to know to rule a kingdom! Sure enough, he teaches you a spell every now and then, but when has he actually offered any usable advice? When have you ever actually gotten a straight answer from him? About anything?” You question as Star soon goes silent as she tries to come up with an answer.

“B-B-But Marco- He!” Star tries to defend herself as she brings up her human friend. In response, you bring up an image of the said boy who stands next to a wall and nods to a young girl who passes by a skateboard.

“Ah, yes mister Diaz. Your friend, your companion, the boy you have feelings for. Did you know that he’s being ordered to watch you and look after you? To be your keeper from both the school board and your parents for the fact they don’t trust you enough to be alone. Makes you really question if he's truly your friend or is he simply there to keep the damages down?” You ask coyly. Now Star is completely silent and her eyes seemed to go from side to side as her mind races with doubt and questions.

Star usually runs from her problems and of tries to hide them away like a child. She has never been confronted with the problems of her life. At least until she met you, now faced with the serious problems within her life Star is now starting to ask the important questions in her life.

This presents the ultimate opportunity and weak point, as the young princess no longer knows who she can trust or who she can believe.

“So once again I ask star, do you really want to go back? Or do you want to stay here with me?” You ask as star immediately looks up at you with questioning eyes, but stays silent.

“I will actually teach you, young princess, both in being a leader and as a magic user. I will not lie to you, nor will I push you off onto another. This to you I swear.” You state to the princess as she stares at you with great indecision obvious in her eyes, as you offer your hand to her.

“All you have to do is agree, so what say you, princess?”

Does Star take your offer?

More fun
