Chapter 1
Satine slept peacefully in her bed. Next to her it was a baby cot and in that slept Satine´s daughter Simona. Satine became pregnant after the war of meaning on Kalevala but had no idea how it happened, no memories at all.
But she did a DNA test and showed that the father of Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. For her love to them both and to protect her only child she destroyed evidence and held it secret.
When Simona was born, there was a prophecy from the witch mother Talzin and Simona would be the first Queen on Mandalore and that she would help the Chosen One to bring peace to the galaxy.
Mother Talzin greeted at Satine in secret and revealed a future-vision when her daughter sitting on the throne with a beautiful white dress with a golden tiara with a large blue sapphire jewel.
Even a different vision when she fought in battle.
Satine was shocked and refused to believe that her daughter would go into a war. After the mother Talzin´s visit at the court of the palace heard about prophecy and which spread a rumor all over Mandalore.
The rumor had spread so quickly that there have been many attacks on Satine´s daughter.
That night broke a bounty hunter into the room he broke through the windows and crept in. At the threshold into the bedroom didn't the hunter notice that there was an alarm hidden. When the bounty hunter went over the threshold alarm went on.
"Guards" Satine woke up and screamed for the guards Simona lay in her crib and cried. Bounty hunter became confused and tried to reach the baby. Satine took out her weapon and shot the bounty hunter until the guards came.
When the guards ran into the room they broke down the bounty hunter unconscious. They dragged the man away. Satine ran to her daughter and kept her safe at her chest.
Simona screamed while Satine tried to calm her down. "Shh it's alright Simona mother is here." A little while later, a couple of guards and her friend Jerec in and checked on the Duchess and Simona was unharmed "Are you alright Duchess?"
"I'm alright we both are Jerec thank you" Simona had just calmed down but could hear her small silent sobs. She sat down on the sofa and tried to get her daughter to sleep.
"This is the seventh attack of 6 months. We cannot have it this way anymore and I do not want anything to happen to my daughter. Please Jerec help me find a solution." Satine asked her friend and Jerec promised to help her.
Dawn came and Satine stood at the window with Simona in her lap and slept deeply. Satine sighed and gave her daughter a kiss on her forehead and wondered how she could protect her only child.
"No never. I never go along with it" Satine said terrified. It's been three days since the last attack, and during those days, the Duchess friend Jerec tried to come up with a solution for her daughter's safety.
"Satine this is the only way to get Simona in security" Jerec tried to convince her
"I asked you to find a solution to protect my daughter, not to send her away" Satine looked away
"Satine, you are my friend and I want to do everything for both of you. But your daughter is not safe here. It was just a year ago you stopped the war on Mandalore and let it go on like this there can begin a new and who knows when. "Jerec was calm and tried to reason with her
"The rumor has spread over the whole nation and the bounty hunters come from different places. If this continues then the people to doubt you and go the people of against you so you will be both vulnerable." Satine looked away toward the crib where Simona slept. She knew it was true would attacks continue would Mandalore become a target again.
"Jerec I would like to be alone for a while." Satine said sad "Of course Duchess." Jerec bowed and departed
Satine went to Simona and saw her daughter sleeping. How could she send her only child to a place where she would not be involved and see her grow up? Satine sat down beside the cot and thought about what she would do.
After a long while had Satine thinking clearly and knew what she must do. Satine called the guard and asked him to fetch Jerec
Jerec came into the room and saw her sitting beside Simona "You called for me, Duchess?" Satine sat up went up to him, "Yes, I've thought about what you suggested and now I have decided."
"I agree to your proposal and send Simona to a safe place where she can grow up and live her life." It hurt so much in her as the words came out but Satine knew this was the right thing however much it hurt her
In two days, both Satine and Jerec planned for Simona's trip. Satine had hired her foremost guard as Simona's guardians and must at all costs keep watch and protect her as his own.
They had traveled to Concordia Mandalors moon. They did not want to take a big risk and let others know about it. Now it was time Satine and the others got up early that morning it was still dark outside. A ship stood ready on the platform to go.
Satine held in her little daughter in her arms and felt a great anxiety within.
She looked down at her daughter asleep in her arms and gave her a kiss on the forehead, "I love you." She whispered, and the tears came. Satine went toward the ship and put down Simona in a sleeping capsule.
Satine went up to the guard "Guard take good care of her."
"I will protect her with my life duchess." The guard bowed before Satine and went to the ship.
Satine tears came and fought to not prevent them from going. Jerec comforted Satine while they took their journey.
Jerec had chosen to send them away to a distant planet called Orinas, a small planet that is slightly outside the galaxy. There was neither a republic nor separatists just a few respectable cities. It was a perfect place for Simona to grow up in.
After couple of hours traveling so something strange happened. Guard slowly began to see that his ship was being pulled towards another direction.
His computer informed that he was going to a black hole. The guard tried everything to get the ship under his control. But it was hopeless.
Jerec's men on Concordia had discovered this on the map and told facing the Duchess and Jerec. They had put a tracking transmitter on the ship to make sure they arrived safely.
Satine was worried and hoped with all her heart that it would be over soon. Jerec tried to make contact with the pilot but received no response.
The guard tried to steer the ship away from another direction but what he did not work out. Tractive force became increasingly stronger and suddenly died the ship all electricity disappeared.
Simona was still asleep in her little bed and was completely inattentive to what was going on. The guard himself tried to get the ship again but no luck. The ship was drawn more towards the hole and realized it was pointless.
Suddenly the ship was flying at lightning speed into the hole and sucked in. Back at Concordia saw the others that the ship was no longer in sight.
"Simona ... No." Satine was devastated and ran out of the room. Jerec prevented her guards from following her and let Satine be left alone.
Jerec felt terrible to let this happen, it was his idea.
Satine ran to her room and burst into tears. Her little girl gone for good, Satine fell down on the floor; the tears ran down like a deluge.
After a few minutes the guard and Simona finally came out of the black hole completely unharmed, but the ship was not. The ship was working again but apparently it was damaged on the way out.
The engine began to malfunction and the computer shows that the fuel would run out within three hours. The pilot had to find a safe planet and fast. A little while ago showed the computer an inhabited planet, facts about the planet was unknown but the pilot felt he had no choice.
He started to plan his landing but suddenly started to fuss engines even more. The fuel had leaked all over the engine and smoke began to come out. The pilot had no choice; he began to land at once at full speed.
There was a crash landing in the middle of a forest. A couple heard the crash and went looking where it came from. They found the strange spacecraft and a man crawling on the ground.
The man they found was badly injured "Take it easy now, sir, we'll help you." The pilot check up against the man he had not long to live. He pointed towards the capsule where Simona lay in "Her name is Simona take care of her please." Those were his last words.
Simona started to wake up and screamed. The couple Fleetwood went to the capsule and it was open and saw the cute little girl.
"There, there, little one." Jane picked up her and calmed her down, Simona calmed down and looked curiously at Jane.
