Enough is never enough chapter 1
(I do not own Star Wars or anything pertaining to it)
Wraeththu thought once she had conquered the galaxy it would have been enough but the truth was that it wasn't, she wanted more. Anakin Skywalker had been dead for a year now, the Empire had risen and the rule of the Sith was now firmly in place. But still she wanted more, she wanted it all; she knew there were other galaxies other than this one and she wanted to find them and bend them until they served her. Wraeththu taped her mechanical fingers pondering how she would seek out and conquer other galaxies.
Her flesh hand reached down and hit the comm. built into her mechanical arm "Shimi come see me" she said. Moments later the door in front of her hissed opened and her apprentice walked in and bowed "You wanted to see me master?" she asked. Wraeththu stood up "Yes, I plan on taking a trip. I don't know how far or long it will take me but there are other galaxies out there that I desire" Wraeththu replied.
"Am I to accompany you master?" Shimi asked, "No my apprentice you are to stay here and act in my place while I am gone, I trust that you can handle this responsibility" Wraeththu replied. "Of course master, I live to serve you" Shimi replied without a moment of hesitation. "Very good I leave tonight and I place MY empire in your hands until I return" Wraeththu said emphasizing that this was her empire knowing that her apprentice had become very ambitious over the years.
"I am taking Abby with me" Wraeththu said walking out of the room and down a hall. "What of Luke, is he to accompany you as well master?" Shimi asked, "No, he will stay here and help you keep the empire under tight management" Wraeththu replied. Shimi made no attempt to hide her displeasure "As you wish master" she said through gritted teeth before heading turning down a different hall to tell Shaak ti the news.
Wraeththu walked into the training room and found her daughter sparing Luke, the two of them had been at this for quiet some time now both pushing each other to their max. Wraeththu leaned against the wall and watched as the two dueled. Wraeththu noticed that Luke had taken to using his fathers fighting style while Abby stuck to the Shein fighting style that Wraeththu used. Wraeththu watched as Luke brought down powerful strike after strike each one would be a killing blow if they hit its mark.
In some ways more than Wraeththu would have liked Luke was very much like his father, his stubborn headedness, his impatience and his anger not to mention he had a lot of his father physical traits as well. But in many ways Abby mirrored her mother, now granted a lot of it had to do with the StarForge when Abby was created but Wraeththu had groomed her since birth so Abby picked up a lot of the things Wraeththu did.
For some unexplainable reason Wraeththu thought back to the Clone Wars. Before she had turned to the darkside, before she had destroyed the Jedi and before she had been put on trail; she thought back to when she was his apprentice and they fought by each others side. In fact Abby was like a different version of Wraeththu and Luke was like a different version of Anakin, aside from the whole relationship part that the two of them shared.
Wraeththu scowled at these thoughts, she did not regret destroying Skywalker and she would do so all again if she could. "Enough" Wraeththu said making her presence known to the two of them who were solely focused on dueling each other. Abby and Luke extinguished their lightsabers and stepped away from each other, both of them were breathing hard and covered in sweat.
"Mother" Abby said bowing her head, "Master" Luke said also bowing his head. Wraeththu looked at Luke "I wish to speak to Abby privately" she said. Luke didn't know why but he felt worried, he gave Abby look before leaving the room.
Wraeththu turned her attention back to her daughter "I am going on a trip in search of other galaxies to conquer" she said. "How long will you be gone?" Abby asked. "You will be going with me, I do not know how long we will be gone nor how far we will have to travel" Wraeththu replied. "Is Luke coming too?" Abby asked.
Wraeththu shook her head "He will remain here will Shimi and Shaak to run my empire until we return" she replied. "But mom I want Luk-" Abby started but was abruptly cut off. "No" Wraeththu snapped loudly but as quickly as her voice had raisin it softened "My dear daughter listen to me, Luke must remain here to help Shimi and Shaak keep the empire under control. Trust me dear, I will need you for this" Wraeththu spoke softer.
Abby looked down, she couldn't say she would be thrilled about leaving Luke behind not knowing when she would return. "As you say mother, I will prepare to leave" Abby said turning and walked from her to her own room.
Luke was sitting in Abby's room that they shared, he looked up as the door opened and Abby came in. The look on her face told him that he too wouldn't like what Wraeththu had said to her. "What'd she say?" Luke asked as she sat down next to him. "I am going on a trip with her, we don't know exactly where we will be going or how long it will even take but my mother wants to search for more galaxies to conquer" Abby replied. "And?" Luke pressed.
Abby looked down "She wants you to remain here and help Shimi and Shaak keep the empire here under control." Luke nodded in understanding "Well at least you will be able to practice while your away then maybe you can beat me, maybe" Luke said with a smirk.
Abby laughed "I can do that already Luke" she said smiling. Luke laughed as well "Well you better get packed, I don't think you want to keep your mother waiting" Luke said grabbing her a bag. Abby nodded and began packing for the trip.
