The Tyrant of Mewni
Many believe that the legend of Mina Loveberry begins in the Solarian Warriors, many believe that Mina Loveberry was a farmer until the day Solaria Butterfly made her her first Solarian Warrior and starting to create the most powerful army of all universes.
This has always been a common but strongly mistaken belief.
It is understandable that not many know the true story of Mina Loveberry as in recent times her reputation has dropped dramatically due to her racial, political and social ideologies regarding monsters and the Butterfly Empire.
But we must never forget history. For better or for worse our story is what brought us here! And it is what we went through, lived and chose that she created the world we live in today.
But I'm digressing! forgive me dear reader but when I speak of Mina Loveberry I can not help but think about what is happening in recent times.
What were we talking about? Oh yeah!
The legend of Mina begins exactly where no one expects.
The Underworld
Or better say 'The Skywynne Butterfly's revenge war'.
To better understand what I am saying we need to take a small step back my dear reader .... at least 500 years back.
Our kingdom, still discovering our world at the time, decided to create a series of corn fields south of the lands of CornLand (Today known as Butterfly City) a territory apparently devoid of claims and extremely fertile.
It was one of the largest economic ventures ever created in the history of Mewni (and will remain so until the arrival of Mina Loveberry), more than enough to feed the population of the time and allow a significant export to other kingdoms and distant worlds.
It was starting to be a golden age thanks to that corn. Hunger and poverty began to be a thing of the past and thanks to the huge demand for labor in the corn fields virtually everyone was able to find work. It was for this reason that, at the time, most of the settlements and just over half of the population of Mewni decided to settle in those lands.
But obviously this couldn't last forever. One day a chasm appeared in the center of this earth and a gigantic demon emerged from it. At the time we did not know of the existence of demons, as I have already said we were still discovering our world.
Despite the frightening appearance and the considerable size this did not frighten the people and they decided to say hello to the creature. The creature introduced himself as FuryBone Lucitor, king of the underworld and lord of all demons and, despite his appearance and title, he was very kind and friendly to the people.
Everything seemed to be going well, once the shyness of the stranger had been overcome, the demon and the local peasants all together decided to have a small welcome party for the friendly giant stranger.
But, as I said, it couldn't last. Eventually the demon king decided to proclaim why he had come. He wanted tributes!
He said that the land belonged to him and that everything they had cultivated belonged to him by right and that, in his infinite kindness, he would allow the peasants to continue to work if they paid a tribute of 200 billion kilos of wheat a month. .
200 billion. It was an absurd figure, just over half of the entire monthly harvest, they knew that if they accepted the hunger she would return to their kingdom.
In short, dear reader, Lucitor was not happy with the refusal and decided to destroy all the cornfields and kill the entire population by sinking the ground into the underworld.
Despite what happened, Queen Lila Butterfly could not do anything for her people since in that period the first invasions of the monsters began and the queen, due to the lucitors, lost almost all her army and more than half of her people, forcing the queen to use magic to support her troops on the battlefield.
To save what was left of Mewni she had to abandon the part already lost. A sad and painful decision but it is in these moments that a queen is needed.
But I'm digressing .... again.
This painful loss and humiliation marked the beginning of the relationship between the Lucitor and Butterfly families. Ironic if you see it today don't you think my dear reader?
It took a century until Skywynne Butterfly arrived for the Lucitors to stop bullying Butterfly Kingdom and take revenge for the tragedy that happened.
And it was here, my dear reader, that strange as the legend begins.
At the time Mina Loveberry was a royal guard at Butterfly Castle and her days were the constant monotonous surveillance of the castle and the royal family. As this happened, Queen Skywynne and the Butterfly Kingdom generals and war veterans decided how to act against the Lucitors. Butterfly Kingdom had been waiting for a century to take revenge and Skywynne was eager to please her people and her generals for what happened a century ago.
But let's make it shorter my dear reader.
At some point in the war the losses and psychological wounds inflicted on the royal army of Butterfly Kingdom by the demons were so great that all the officers who had not been killed decided to flee in the night leaving the Mewnans army alone.
Few officers decided to stay but none had the strength to command the men and women of the army anymore and, obviously, the demons knowing of this decided to goad the survivors of the Butterflyies army by throwing small forces against them in an attempt to further erode the their sanity and their courage.
The demons had grown lazy and arrogant, pleased with their successes and the countless prisoners who had become their playthings. The Butterflyies knew they could not escape, they were alone .... doomed to die without hope.
And it was here that Mina made her appearance, not as a guard but as commander of the Butterfly army.
Mina Loveberry, a simple royal guard to assert the queen's authority, decided on her own initiative to take command of the remnants of the Butterfly army and personally executed anyone who decided not to follow her orders .... or whoever had foolishly decided to contest it.
Today we are used to seeing the Butterflyies army as extremely disciplined, well armed, well equipped, and equipped with countless military tactics for any type of situation. But it is precisely for this reason, my dear reader, that I tell you that the legend of Mina Loveberry begins here.
At the time, the royal army was like all armies of the time: primitive.
I'll spare you the details, my dear reader. I only tell you, thanks to the laziness of the demons, Mina has managed to transform the rabble of Man-at-arms from Butterfly Kingdom into the first true legion of Butterfly Kingdom, the first stone of Butterfly Empire.
At that point the Butterflyies, tired of the constant abuse, decided under the command of Mina to attack the demons.
The demons, who now expected an easy and effortless victory, were taken completely by surprise when they saw the royal army was not breaking up under their defense and, to general disbelief, the Butterflyies were gaining ground against an army 60 times bigger than theirs and slaughtering every demon in their path starting to win a battle with a loss of only 93 soldiers.
Perhaps, my dear reader, I will tell you more about the Underworld War one day. There are an incredible amount of stories, legends and cultural transformations thanks to that war.
But for today you will have to make do with this. However, I want to tell you something very important, my dear reader.
Regardless of what is said today about Mina Loveberry, after that war she became a true symbol for demons. Apparently Mina has been so efficient and terrifying to demons that even today they see her as an example of the perfect warrior and, to honor her memory, Lucitor royal guards wear purple cloaks, like Mina's hair, and armors similar to those of the Butterfly royal army of that time.
Upon her return to her homeland, Skywynne Butterfly, amazed by the young girl's exploits, decided to give Mina the red cloak of Butterfly Kingdom, a symbol of heroism, courage, valor and nobility, one of the greatest awards anyone can have.
But I didn't play this title, my dear reader.
In the days that followed, Skywynne learned of the cowardice of her officers and the mutation Mina made to the survivors of the army.
Queen Skywynne was so impressed with her young guard's ability to command, zeal and loyalty that she decided to promote her to Tyrant of Butterfly Kingdom.
I learned that the word Tyrant has a different meaning in other cultures, so I'll allow myself to explain.
The Tyrant in the culture of the Butterflyies is the supreme commander of all the military forces of the Butterfly Kingdom. The Tyrant's authority is so high that he can literally override any other authority in the kingdom ... except the queen of course.
The Tyrant is not only the commander of the army he is also a politician who can speak on behalf of the queen in her absence and, always in her absence, the Tyrant has a duty to keep the kingdom standing and to defend it from any possible threat.
it is a great power and the fact that Skywynne created this title for Mina should be more than enough proof to understand how much Skywynne valued Mina. Obviously the Tyrant has limitations but it is not necessary to expose them, my dear reader. This is a little history lesson after all.
But surely you are wondering 'why call The Tyrant of Mewni if it is The Tyrant of Butterfly Kingdom?'. Well my dear reader, this is a story for another time. After all, the legend of the great Mina Loveberry does not end there.
Maybe we'll meet again my dear reader and maybe I'll tell you more.
- General Meteora Loveberry Butterfly
