• A village is being attacked by evil, vile monsters, and it’s up to Queen Solaria to save the day!
• While Solaria is in battle with the barbaric beasts, peasant girl Mina, now a warrior in training, was given an order by the queen to hold and watch Baby Eclipsa for her at a safe distance while still witnessing the great fight.
• Both Mina and Baby Eclipsa cheer on Solaria, with Baby Eclipsa clapping for her mother and making the most adorable baby noises.
• While fighting, the warrior queen was struck by a monster with a surprise attack and sent flying into a house.
Mina: (A horrific gasp) Your majesty!
Baby Eclipsa: (Babbles in sad baby gibberish that is somewhat understandable) Mama!
• The monsters roar in triumph. When Solaria slowly gets up, a drop of blood is present at the corner of her mouth. Wiping it away, she sends the brutes a death glare as she screams in fury and charges towards them.
• Solaria now goes on the attack against those monsters, showing them NO mercy whatsoever. Eclipsa, seeing that her mother is okay, goes back to cheering her on while Mina’s cheeks tint pink.
• 'Wow. Oh my. Queen Solaria… she’s… she’s… so strong.' she thought, admiring the physical strength of the shaved-headed queen.
• It doesn’t matter how big the monster enemy may be. As a young solarian warrior, Mina swears to protect and defend the great Queen Solaria from harm, even if it means losing her life in the process.
• As Solaria is sitting on her throne writing entire pages of horrific and violent ways to dispatch monsters, Mina, her best warrior, stands beside her. Mina would occasionally take a few glances at Solaria and smile to herself. The woman in purple pigtails couldn't help it, she just found the queen to be absolutely brilliant and beautiful. When Solaria catches Mina sneaking a look at her, Mina gets flustered and quickly looks away, stuttering an apology. “M-My apologies, my queen. Forgive me for staring.”
• You know Mina bragged to the other warriors about how Solaria liked her best.
• Mina ensured that Solaria’s tapestry was ALWAYS clean. If SO MUCH as a speck of dirt landed on the picture, she was fast to clean it off.
• What present Mina most likely dreams about: her laughing and holding onto an extremely happy Solaria as the two ride a large hotdog like a surfboard on a sea of dead monster bodies. Donuts with wings fly about like birds. A childlike drawing of the sun and a crescent moon are smiling in the background.
• Mina: (Laughs hysterically) Ah, hahahaha ha! (To Solaria) Oh, my queen, this is wonderful! I’m having so much fun spending time with you! (Blushes as her eyes gleam with excitement) Forget about that Alphonse guy! Let’s you and I travel the galaxy and eradicate all the dirty monsters together!
...
Mina: You shouldn’t be anywhere near the monsters! As a queen, you’re too important! You need protection!
Eclipsa: I most certainly do not!
Mina: Yes, you do!
Eclipsa: NO!
Mina:(With tears in her eyes) UGH! WHY WON’T YOU JUST LET ME PROTECT YOU, SOLARIA!
Eclipsa:(Taken aback by Mina mentioning her mother) S-Solaria?! What does she have to do with this?
Mina: (Sniffles, speaking to herself) If only you’d let me protect you. Why didn’t you? You’d still be here.
...
Mina had a bouquet of roses in one hand and a snookers in the other as she walked somberly down the graveyard path. She soon found the tombstone she was looking for.
Name: Solaria The Monster Carver
Fate: Slain during a monster ambush
Mina smiled a sad smile as she spoke. “It’s been awhile, my queen…” She held up the candy bar. “I, uh, brought you a snack. Hope you like it.”
She set the bouquet and chocolate bar down on the past queen’s grave. After a sigh, tears welled up in her eyes. “If only I was there to protect you, you’d still be here. I’d rather it have be me than you."
Forming a fist, Mina tightened it. "Ugh, those no good monsters are going to get theirs someday." Gazing back down at Solaria's grave, Mina's eyes and voice got soft. "You…" She sniffled, wiping her watery eyes with her arm. Composing herself, Mina continued with her heartfelt words. "You made me feel so many things, but…now that you’re gone,…I don’t know what to feel. I…I wonder if you can still see me somehow. If you can, what would you think of me?”
The ghost of Solaria Butterfly suddenly appears behind Mina. She places her a gentle hand on the young woman’s shoulder. “Oh Mina. My most loyal and devoted warrior. Even after death, you still believe in me. I think…you’re wonderful.”
