Beautiful artwork that brought a tear to my eyes. A picture is worth a thousand words, yes? WHAT I SEE RIGHT HERE: Former Mewni Queen Ecilpsa, a patient & maternal figure, unashamedly comforting this confused, hormone-riddled teen-age boy, extremely homesick, on his own from his home dimension & very new to a world of magic & monsters which she knows better than most of it's current inhabitants. I can almost hear Marco giving a deep sigh and finally giving in to being held lovingly with Eclipsa saying



ECLIPSA - "There, there, little inter-dimensional human child! Now...if you ever need a hug or someone to explain some of the nightmarish things you'll see here on Mewni, you're free to sneak into my room at night inside this heavily guarded tower, especially when things are quiet."



MARCO - "Eclipsa?"



ECLIPSA - "Yes?"



MARCO - "Why are you being so nice to me? I mean...when I first saw you? I was gonna karate you! I mean, I mighta, like, DIED because you've got SUPER, super-duper magic Mewni-Queenie powers, but..."



ECLIPSA - "Aren't you sweet! (quiet laugh) Well, you're scared, aren't you. No need to be so around me, is there? Besides...I've been encased in crystal for over two centuries. Its been a long time since I've hugged anyone. This is therapeutic for me just as much as it is for you, isn't it?"



Marco looks up at Eclipsa and, with tears freely streaming down his cheeks, snuggles in deeply to her bosom. She absentmindedly starts twirling a lock of his hair with her index finger. With a tight hug around her middle, Marco chokes out:



MARCO - (sigh) "Eclipsa?"



ECLIPSA - "Hmm?"



MARCO - "I'm sorry I almost used my red-belt skills on you!"



ECLIPSA - "Oh, its alright. Thank You for taking it easy on me! (she puts her hand on his scalp & kisses his forehead, effectively making him blush, a wavy smile spreading across his face.) Now, let's get some sleep. We only have a few hours before you have to sneak out of the tower and back to your own room."



MARCO - (surprised, but unmoving) "You mean I can stay?"



ECLIPSA - "Of course. I don't mind at all! You don't want to?"



MARCO - (with heavy lidded eyes) "I wanna stay. There's (yawn) no place else I'd rather be. Sssnnnzzz..."



Eclipsa giggles lightly and holds the sleeping boy's head to her breast as she follows him into quiet, restful bliss.
