Chapter Text
He had spent many long days adrift. The cold vacuum of the cosmos, ever expansive and growing, sent chills down his spine. That wasn’t really all that gave him shivers. Someone had used him. Made him a mere plaything in their game. An unimportant pawn that barely counted for anything. However, even the lowliest pawn could topple the king. And the Lizard forgot that.
But, for a reason that even he couldn't understand, he lept into the arms of the void with satisfaction in what he helped to accomplish. He even let someone, a mortal enemy, push him towards the loving arms. But she was hesitant. Why? It didn’t add up. She always didn’t like him and yet, when given the chance to throw him back into the void, as she had done before without batting an eye, she didn’t want to. Why?
Ludo, the small Kappa and former king of Mewni, floated through space, alone once more as he had felt through every hard bump in his life. He only wanted the love and adoration of the world, so why couldn’t he have it? Everything he did ended badly, and he had to fight hard for his survival. But even that didn’t prepare him for what came after the egg. After the overthrow. After the void. After Toffee.
Toffee. A name he despised more than almost any other. But one that gave him a new emotion to deal with. Paranoia. The thought of at any point in time, his body could be taken from his mind and serve someone else's agenda. The kappa, realizing his own predicament and just sad stroke of luck to find what kind of life he led. He Curled himself into a small ball and wept silently. He left everything he could have cared about. Food, rats, spider, bird, Dennis. All of them. And for what. Another lonely trip through the void, weeping and cold, his mind and body in the vastness of space, Adrift.
