Chapter 1

"Daddy, please don't go. I don't want to be alone." The five-year-old girl said to her father as he began to walk towards the ship.

"Your mother and I won't be gone for long; just a couple of days." Kavis said to his daughter.

"Okay, but will you bring me back a present like you did last time?" the young girl asks excitedly.

"Of course sweetheart." He answers before kissing her head and boarding the ship.

Elara didn't know it then, but that was the last time she would ever see her parents.

15 Years Later

Elara Kenobi was not a morning person by any means. She was not ill tempered she just preferred not having anyone bother her before 10 am. The loud clang of a platter hitting the ground was what awoke her this morning. She then heard muffled voices and then a soft knock at her door which she answered with a groan.

"Princess Elara, it's time to wake up. You've got a big day today. Shall I draw you a bath?" the young voice of a servant asks.

"Yes, that's fine. Thank." Elara replies quietly.

Elara slowly ambled out of her bed before walking over to her wardrobe and removing her robe from its hook. She slipped the silk fabric over her small frame and walked out to the main hallway. As she walked to the bathing area she would say 'hi' to a couple of the workers and examined some of the decorations.

Today was the first day of the rest of Elara's young life. Today she would become queen of the plant Thion. It was a small planet that her father, Kavis Kenobi, had discovered while traveling through the galaxy. It was small, very small. It was one of the tiniest planets in the galaxy. Thion, however, was one of the strongest planets. Many people would come there to train their military since it was the only planet that had every ecosystem imaginable. Whether it was a desert, mountains, or a rainforest, they had it. Her father had been a great King. He was kind and welcomed every human, creature, and animal into his kingdom that wanted to live there.

Elara's parents died when she was five years old. They were on their way to a neighboring planet when someone shot at the ship and caused it to crash killing everyone on board. Elara was the only heir. Since she was only five, she wasn't allowed to ascend the throne until now because her advisors felt like she needed more experience before she became queen.

Elara soon opened the door to the bathing room and smiled at the two servants.

"You can leave if you would like. I'm sure you have plenty of other things to do." Elara tells them as she removes her robe.

She waited patiently for the two to leave before taking the nightgown off and slipping into the warm, lavender scented water. She closed her brown eyes and leaned her head back. Elara was nervous as she thought about what was going to transpire today. There would be the coronation, then the ball, and then her life as queen would begin. It also didn't help that half of the galaxy would be there.

"Elara! It's been thirty minutes!" She heard the voice of her best friend, Nova Kiner say.

Nova Kiner as the opposite of Elara. She was quite tall and had blonde-almost white hair and icy blue eyes. Her father had been the general for Thion ever since Elara could remember. The two girls had grown up together and she helped Elara after her parents died.

"Okay, okay. Let me get my robe on. Is my dress even ready?" she asks as she gets out of the water.

"Yes and you are going to look so beautiful." Nova replies as Elara opens the door. "Are you nervous?"

"Incredibly. I just want to be the best queen I can be."

"So it wouldn't help if I told you how many people were here?"

Elara's eyes widened slightly. "No, that wouldn't help."

As the two young girls walked, Elara felt herself growing more nervous. So many thoughts were swirling through her head. She had trained her whole life for this moment and here it was.
