Ch.5:  

Marco woke up to once again find Star laying on his chest. “Good morning Star.”

Star opened her eyes blearily, and blinked at him owlishly for a moment before she graced him with a gigawatt smile and a kiss on the lips. “Morning Marco. Sleep well?”

The Questor nodded. “Yeah, you?”

The princess chuckled. “I dunno, my bed was kinda hard and lumpy,” She joked as she hopped up and down on his stomach.

Marco rolled his eyes. “Well I’m sorry you find my rock hard abs uncomfortable Star. If you’d like, you could always swap places with someone else tonight.”

“Never!” Star said, squeezing him tighter. “Marco’s abs belong to me!”

In response, Marco tussled Star’s golden locks. “Love you too Star. Umm, like yesterday though I kinda gotta go.”

“Right,” Once again, Star transformed her wand into a megaphone and shouted into it. “Alright, everybody up, you know the drill!”

A collective groan was given, and Hekapoo, Chiyo, and Oei, and Sakura all crawled out of the bed. “You really need to find a better way to wake us all up Butterfly,” Hekapoo groused, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

“Why when this works perfectly fine?” Star replied feigning innocence. 

“Star-chan, please stop waking us up with a megaphone every morning. It makes for a stressful cooking environment,” Sakura chided a glare in her eye and a pout on her face.

Now Star had the decency to look polite. “Sorry sensei, Marco had to go ya know? Gah! Marco Diaz stop that!”

“Don’t try throwing me under the bus you!” Said boy retorted as he mercilessly tickled his girlfriend.

“Okay lovebirds, let’s get ready for the day and let master do his business,” Hekapoo chortled.

Still gonna insist on calling me master huh H-poo?” Marco replied as he made his way out of their shared room.”

“Still insisting on calling me H-poo huh master?!” Hekapoo called as he left the room.

“Chiyo is so happy you and Marco get along so well.” She said as she clapped her hands, shifting her form to that of a yellow spring dress.

Hekapoo snapped her fingers and in a flash of flame, she was dressed for the day in her usual maid attire. “Yeah, we’re tight.”

“Speaking of, could you tell me about what happened to Marco’s arm?” Star questioned, though it was less of a question and more of an order.

Hekapoo grimaced. “It’s… it’s complicated. All I can really tell you is that it has to do with a type of magic he learned while he was over there, and unlike yours, his magic takes a physical toll on its user.”

“Is it ‘dark magic’ dear?” The voice in the doorway was Eclipsa. She was dressed in her long black gown and had her feathered hat upon her head. The only piece of her ensemble missing was her long sleeved gloves which she no longer needed thanks to Marco’s use of Rule Breaker on her person. Thus her arms were now pale and unblemished.

Hekapoo frowned. “Yes, you could call it that. It’s darker than any spell you ever devised. Marco learned it not by choice, but by necessity. He did what he had to do to survive in my proving ground. His arm is what marks him in my dimension as a magician.”

Eclipsa frowned. “That poor boy. He has my sympathies… though I do wonder why he doesn’t just use that miraculous dagger on himself? It would fix him right up surely?”

“It’s a reminder,” Marco’s voice came from behind the Queen of Darkness. “Of all the messed up things I had to do over there. I don’t feel like I have the right to get rid of it.”

Eclipsa turned to see Marco standing there in a bathrobe, his hair wet from the shower. “Ah, I see. I’m sorry dear boy, I didn’t mean to pry.”

Marco shook his head and smiled. “It’s fine, don’t worry about it.” He looked to the girls who were looking uncomfortable. “Bathrooms free.”

Sakura cleared her throat. “Yes, I think we should all freshen up a bit then get started on breakfast. Come on girls.”

Everyone followed Sakura’s lead but Hekapoo. “Sorry about that Marco, but Star asked, and I didn’t know what to say…”

“It’s fine Hekapoo, don’t worry about it,” Marco was looking at his mutated left arm as he spoke. “That place, something bad was going on there, I don’t know what it was but… That chalice that thing. It’s up to no good.”
