Adrian Waterson

Adrian Waterson was the 5rd King-Consort of the Butterfly Queendom, being married to Queen Polaria Butterfly. He was a member of House Waterson.

### Early Life

The earliest known mention of Adrian Waterson was when he became a student of Aegean Waterson, his grandfather. Polaria Butterfly would meet him when she as well became a student of Aegean Waterson. The two would develop a rivalry mainly due to the reason they were treated by Aegean Waterson. Adrian was taught how to move a ship, while Polaria was taught how to clean the ship and handle its sails. Adrian gave Polaria the nickname "Polaria the Deck Cleaner." When undertaking voyages the two would divide up the cabin, but the rivalry would continue. During a trip to the Mushroom Kingdom Polaria cut Adrians hammock ropes causing him to sleep on the floor. In response Adrian threw all Polaria's clothes into the sea leaving her in her pajamas. In 114 A.M. Polaria and Adrian were dining with Aegean in a tavern in the Jade Kingdom where a musician played a sad song which made Polaria cry, which Adrian mocked her for resulting in her dumping fish-and-oyster sauce on his head. Adrian was present at Polaria's wand passing ceremony in 115 A.M. where she would also receive her own ship "Seastar." Adrian was the first to join her crew, being the best and only helmsman available in the Queendom. Polaria decided that for her brother Auster Butterfly's 6th birthday that she would gift a Rainbow Flower from the Hundred Kingdoms of the Rainbow Isles to him. Adrian as helmsman would accompany her on the voyage. As the crew returned home, they stopped in the Clifford Kingdom, where Polaria would begin a relationship with a Clifford Prince for a year. He tried to force Polaria to sleep with him, when Adrian stepped in and punched the Prince, knocking out a tooth. After the relationship between the two changed. The rivalry and fighting stopped. Polaria would give preference to Adrian for dances and royal events. He would even share the captains cabin with her during trips. In 117 A.M. the engagement between Polaria and Adrian would be announced. In 118 A.M. they would be married on the deck on the Seastar, it was also the first royal wedding ceremony to be presided over by a female celestrean.

### As King Consort

The next day Polaria was crowned Queen, and Adrian was crowned King-Consort. Between 118 A.M. and 123 A.M. Adrian would accompany his wife on her Great Expeditions. They would journey in sites that were already known in the Waterfolk Sea, such as the Mushroom Kingdom, Hundred Kingdoms of the Rainbow Isles, the Jade Kingdom, and the Coconut Kingdom. They would also explore uncharted territory. After The Queen and the King Consort returned home from their journey it took 100 days to unify the maps into one large Known World Map. Many of the maps Polaria collected pointed to a large landmass known as the Lands of the Ancient Mewnian Empire. However recent notes indicate that the site was no more than ruins. Polaria decided to join her crew and sail west. Seastar arrived 34 days later at its destination. The queen and her crew discovered the large continent was in fact hundreds of thousands of small islets with beaches of volcanic sand and large ruins covered with vegetation. The most disturbing however was “petrified mummies with expressions of horror on their faces.” Polaria found scrolls on immaculate parchment in the remains of a library. Polaria ignored her crew’s warning that the place was cursed and collected everything that was possible. The Seastar crossed to the west side of the archipelago, and even after it reached there she proceeded to sail even further west. The more the ship advanced the sky and the sea became grey and opaque. A strange note, the queen was overcome by nightmares. From Adrian's journal after writing what his wife had described   "It was the song without a bard that cut through the pale, dark air and filled her ears. Polaria did not see a hand in front of her face, but somehow she knew what there was around her. Under her feet the floor slid, wet and silent, of stone so black it seemed to drink the light, and the surface as deformed as the waves that broke on the beaches. She didn't feel uncomfortable, years of experience having a deck underfoot. Still, she couldn't help being careful. The floor was so smooth that not even life could get hold of it. And it definitely couldn't, Polaria thought as she cut through the ruined hall amid the lichen-covered mummies that inhabited it, charred with their rocky expressions of despair and death — silent screams so sharp they would be able to blow a large rock like sand. CLAC! CLAC! CLAC! Once again she heard the knock, but she couldn't say what or where it came from. Polaria moved on, plunging into the veil of night that covered the ruins, merging them with its beautiful and terrifying darkness. Her feet took her deeper into the unknown, into a cold sea of shadows where any sunlight would die swallowed. The unknown is the worst of lovers, she told herself, trying to encourage herself not to stop walking. It brings you fear and curiosity. The path seemed to end when she felt her hand touch a wall. She couldn't see it, but she could feel it in her palm and fingers; scaly and cold as a snake, but hard as stone. Suddenly, she felt something drip on her wrist, and then on her forehead, between her eyebrows. A thick, slimy line came down to reach her lips and taste her with the metallic taste of blood. The unknown is the worst of lovers, she tried to tell herself again, but more thick, red drops dripped onto her hair, her arms, her body. CLAC! CLAC! CLAC! Polaria looked up and saw the pieces of stone leaping out of the shadows towards her. Polaria stumbled backward and fell, hitting her hips and elbows against the slippery floor. Close, she thought as she stared at the deformed stones. They had a pale, ghostly glow, and blood as red as dragon fire flowed from its fissures and carvings like orbits. As sudden as each clac was the hands that grabbed her arms, waist, eyes, thighs, neck; pulling each part of her fully down, towards the depths, with its cadaverous and icy touch. The ghosts below her were pale flames without heat, the eyes were gems. Tourmaline and amethyst, ruby and jade. Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Even under water, almost three dozen high-pitched whispers managed to make her eardrums burn as if they were going to explode. Polaria struggled to keep the air in her lungs, but it soon escaped her lips in an explosion of bubbles that swirled around her before tearing up the darkness that bathed her eyes.” Despite this and the instance from her crew and husband she pushed forward. On the 16 day a large oily stone platform was found, and on it was a Mewman sized statue of headless women with tPolaria 4.pngentacle legs pointing further west. She decided to approach the statue but Adrian argued with this decision. She responded to Adrian's agreement by saying “I gave you a command, Adrian, and you disrespected it, just as you have done before. But I’m no longer just a princess, nor just the captain of Seastar, I’m the queen, your queen. And although you’re my king, you’re still my subject, and a crewman, like everyone else on that ship. You cannot disobey, ignore, or mock my orders as you did when we were children. I delegated a function to each one, and it is not up to you to change them whenever you want. I cannot rule a Queendom if I cannot rule a ship or maintain order within my own marriage. I’ll never be

    respected if I show tolerance for disrespect and contempt.” Adrian never argued with his Queen for the rest of the voyage, and she approached the statue. She used her telescope spell to look at the direction the statue was pointing but all she could see was more sea. Taken by a strange sense of nausea she decided to turn around and sail back to the Queendom . Upon returning they Aegean had dispeasered with his crew beyond the Delphinidae Sea. Between 119 and 120 years after Mewnipendence Polaria left on a simpler but far more significant expedition. For 5 months Seastar sailed around the coast of the continent of Mewni. Leaving the chalk cliffs to the south, climbing up the west coast, cutting through the frozen sea to the north, and descending the crystal clear waters on the east coast. The queen recorded over a hundred kingdoms on her voyage. Some are the Camelidae Kingdom in the Desert of Sizzling Tournament, The Silvan Kingdom in the Grove of Singing Trees, and the Cetus Kingdom, whose fortress was carved in a large rocky mountain by the sea. At the end of the same year Polaria once again sailed to the frozen sea to go to the north pole of Mewni. With the exception of a few white coated animals and ice, there were no signs of civilizations. “A vast and inhospitable ice desert.” It was on this trip that Polaria improved her effort of using stars for navigation, it was the first time she cited a star known as “Queens Star” which was a star constantly fixed in the north. 121 years after Mewnipendence an expedition was carried out to a large landmass to the east whose coast was only mapped. The coastal island was inhabited by a large slender blue skinned people with yellow eyes who were peaceful in nature. Polaria then decided to go to the central continent in the east, but the blue skinned people warned that it was an unhealthy place full of dirty vapors, diseases, ruined cities, and dangerous beasts. From the highest point on the islands she used her telescope spell where she saw a dark, dense and endless forest. 122 years after Mewnipendence she went on a new expedition to the east but this time she focused on the  northern region of the sea. The queen went to a secluded island called Rabbit Island where she hoped they would be cute and peaceful but instead they were pirates who tried to kill her and gave chase. The queen found refuge in the Wyvern Kingdom, whose castle lies in the cape of Wyverns on eastern continent. Polaria describes the place as “a large cloudy rocky beach, with a dark forest covered by dense fog and stone mountains. According to the queen most kingdoms on the continent lie on the coast because the forests and lakes are inhabited by monstrosities such as dragons, hydras, wyverns, vampire bats, and giant apes. Polaria had intended to sail behind the continent, where her great-uncle disappeared, when an infectious disease affected her crew and she was forced to return home. A year later the Seastar would finally sail beyond the continent. In the middle of the sea, separated from any civilizations existed the Reef of Singing Mermaids. These mermaids would gain legs when they chose to walk around on land. All maps pointed to this place being dangerous to men and as she was the only female on the ship, she used her mermaid transformation spell and swam to the place by herself. While there she discovered the secret song of the mermaid, used to hypnotize the invading men and lure them to their death. After four days, Polaria and Adrian resumed their journey to the east. The more the ship advanced the more the sea became darker and the fog denser. After 40 days they arrived at what all maps pointed to be known as Dark Island. The island was a small island with black gravel beaches and swampy forests. Polaria reported “in the heart of the island, there's a circular construction erected with oily black megaliths. Nevertheless there's no signs of life, not even animals. It's the only island not covered by forests, as if the trees refused to approach the place.”  Despite the islands being the eastern most landmass the queen decided to sail a little further east. After two days, in the middle of the haze of the sea,  a ship was found adrift. When her and her crew boarded the ship with black sails they found no people. But what really disturbed them was when they found a soup bowl in the captain's quarters, and it was still warm. Polaria, Adrian and her crew turned the Seastar back towards Mewni. On the journey back hey heard the faint sounds of horns in the haze to the far east. At the end of the journey the queen started to feel sick, many including her husband thought she was sick. However it turned out she was pregnant. The following year Polaria and Adrian gave birth to their first heir Dirhhennia Butterfly, a girl with light brown hair and amber eyes like her father, she also possessed full moons on her cheeks. Two years later, 126 years after Mewnipendence they gave birth to her second heir, Crescenta Butterfly, a girl with light brown hairs and blue eyes. It is unknown when the Adrian would have died but it is known he would have survived his wife.
