AN: Hello everyone. This story just popped up in my subconscious today and it just wouldn't leave me alone. This story is VERY AU and things deviate from the JA books quite a bit. Basically it's a fairytale, hope you all like it.
The Princess And The Padawan
Chapter 1
Once upon a time in a galaxy far away there lived a princess. She was not your ordinary princess in many ways. For one she would rather wear pants then a dress, would rather hold a blaster than a scepter. This princess' name was Siri Tachi and she was the heir to the throne of the planet Solera. Siri never totally felt comfortable with the position she had been born into, she always wondered if there was something else out there for her. Little did Siri know just how things would begin changing for her in ways she could never imagine possible.
The planet Solera was one of beauty and prosperity. For centuries the Tachi family monarchy had control of the planet, and the system worked. The King Tolan and the Queen Mari were very good at leading their kingdom, but like anyone else they had their problems. And one of their biggest ones was learning how to deal with their headstrong daughter.
Siri was now almost 18 years old and she would soon have to take on the leadership of their fair planet. Law stated that the heir to the throne must be married by their 18th birthday otherwise they would be forced to abdicate the throne. And Siri was the King and Queen's only daughter. Siri had turned down all her suitors, her quick wit often got the best of her and had led to the possibility that the Tachi family line would soon end.
Princess Siri Tachi stood out on the veranda outside her room, wearing a pensive expression on her face. She was fiercely loyal to both her family and her kingdom and truly wanted what would be best for Solera. But she couldn't help but not give any of these prissy high strung princes any respect at all. She knew she should try harder, but for her that was always a problem.
She shivered and turned to glance at a blanket that was lying on her sleepcouch. She concentrated on it and the blanket moved over to her, and then she wrapped it around herself. Siri had been born with Force sensitivity and she knew that she could have become a Jedi. A Jedi Master had come to see her parents not long after she was born, but her parents had decided against sending her to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained. She often wondered how her life would had she gone.
A retired Jedi Master named Ral Harman lived on Solera and was good friends with her parents and had trained Siri in using the Force. She didn't know how to use a lightsaber, but she could heal herself, use her senses as a Jedi would and also had to summon objects to her hand. She also learned how to meditate and that was what she was attempting until she was interrupted.
"Princess Siri," came a soft spoken voice from outside her bedroom door. She sighed and moved to the door opening it. One of the servents stood outside the door and bowed briefly before speaking. "Sorry for bothering you, your highness but your parents wish to speak with you about some urgent matter," she said.
"Thank you," Siri replied and replaced the blanket before leaving her chamber. She walked swiftly to the throne room where she was sure her parents would be waiting. There they were sitting in their thrones looking as regal as always, it brought a smile to Siri's lips until she got closer to see the looks on their faces.
"Siri we have a problem," said Tolan Tachi gesturing for Siri to get closer. She complied. "There has been an attack on the palace," he uttered quietly.
Siri gasped, she found that the most well guarded and protected place on the whole planet of Solera had been attacked. "What kind of an attack?"
"Thermal detonators were found all over the grounds this morning, they were all supposed to go off with a remote, that we later recovered. They have all been removed, but I'm sure you understand what this means," the King answered his daughter.
"Who would do such a thing? Is there a mole in the palace, how could this happen right under our noses?" Siri declared angrily.
"All of these we do not have the answers too, we need to get help and in the meantime stay at the summer palace," he said.
"Help, what kind of help?"
"The Jedi."
