Nomi Sunrider and the Seven Younglings
Chapter 1: I'm Wishing
Once upon a time, the queen of a humble but prosperous kingdom on Ambria was knitting by the window. She was knitting an outfit for her expected child.
"I cannot wait to tend to a baby." The queen said.
As the queen continued to knit, she pricked her finger, and a drop of red blood fell on a small banister she was sitting near that was studded with sapphires. She liked how it looked together.
"How lovely my child would be if she had eyes like sapphires, with blood-red hair."
Shortly after this wish, her daughter was born, but the queen used a good deal too much of her strength to bring the child into the world, so she only had enough strength to see that she was exactly how she dreamed she'd look and she named her Nomi. Shortly afterwards, the king died as well, and Nomi was raised by her father's second wife, now the Queen.
Nomi was lovely and full of life and laughter and very in tune with her emotions. Her step-mother Zannah, however, feared that one day, Nomi's beauty would surpass her own. Because of this, she usually dressed Nomi in rags except for very special occasions where she couldn't afford to without appearing weak to her allies. Despite this, Nomi still enjoyed life and dreamed of the day she'd find the man she would love.
Every day, Zannah went to a magic mirror she'd bought after her husband's death and asked, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all?" And as long as the mirror replied that she was the fairest, Nomi would live for another day, safe from her step-mother's jealousy…

Zannah walked over to the mirror. It had been ten years since her husband's death when she ascended to the throne, and she enjoyed it immensely. It was time for her daily check to make sure she was still on top of the beauty game. She could tell sixteen years ago when she first met Nomi that she could not afford to let her subjects decide they liked Nomi better than her. They might overthrow her, leading to the Light Side ruling over Ambria rather than the Dark… Or worse, take her off their money!
She arrived at the mirror and raised her hands as she recited the incantation.
"Nadd, slave of the magic mirror, come from the farthest space." Zannah recited as she crossed her arms. "Through wind and darkness, I summon thee. Speak! Let me see thy face."
In a burst of flames, a face appeared, the face of Freedon Nadd. A sharp face with blank orb-like eyes. Nadd's eyes stared blankly at her.
"What wouldst thou know, my queen?" Nadd asked in his usual monotone voice.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall," Zannah recited. "Who is the fairest of them all?"
"Famed is thy beauty, majesty." Nadd responded as his eyes widened slightly. "But hold… A lovely maid I see. Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she is more fair than thee."
"Alas for her!" Zannah spat out as her eyes glowed yellow. "What's her name?!"
"Hair red as the rose." The face responded calmly. "Eyes blue as sapphires."
"Nomi!" Zannah said through her teeth as her eyes glowed ever brighter.

Nomi was washing the stairs of the palace as she hummed to herself. She was almost done, and she was happy for her good life. True she had to work every day, but it had helped keep her strong, and she knew that when she got married, she'd be able to have a family again. She had missed that part of her life when she had a father and a mother. She had made friends with all the other ambassadors that lived on the planet.
She finished the stairs and sighed contentedly as she picked up the pail and prepared to put it back in the well as several doves watched her. She put the pail in and looked at them.
"Wanna hear a secret?" Nomi asked.
The doves nodded. Nomi had a way with animals. They were her closest friends here.
"Promise not to tell?" Nomi asked again, and the doves shook their heads.
"We are standing by a wishing well."
Nomi then pointed at the hole in the well.
Make a wish into the well,
That's all you have to do.
And if you hear it echoing,
Your wish will soon come true.
Nomi then put her head near the well.
I'm wishing… (I'm wishing…)
For the one I love,
To find me… (To find me…)
Today. (Today.)
I'm hoping… (I'm hoping…)
And I'm dreaming of,
The nice things… (The nice things…)
He'll say. (He'll say.)
Had Nomi known it, that day, a person from the Republic planet, Darada, was passing by the palace when he heard Nomi singing. His name was Andur, and he had been on a training mission with his Jedi master, Thon. Andur thought it was the nicest, sweetest voice he'd ever heard and hopped over the wall to see who it was and saw a girl, the prettiest one he'd ever seen, and her kind nature, which he could easily see on her face in the way her eyes looked in conjunction with her mouth's movements, only made her more beautiful.
Nomi continued singing as the well echoed back.
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha.)
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha.)
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha.)
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
I'm wishing… (I'm wishing…)
For the one I love,
To find me… (To find me…)
Today.
"Today!" Andur sang out as he appeared next to Nomi.
"Oh!" Nomi exclaimed as she jumped back. The boy had caught her by surprise.
"Hello." The boy said. "My name is Andur. I didn't frighten you, did I?"
Nomi ran off as she didn't want someone she'd just met to see her in her work clothes.
"Wait." Andur called out. "Wait please! Don't run away."
Nomi ran into the castle, but Andur called out.
Now that I've found you,
Hear what I have to say!
Nomi then walked out against her first instinct and listened.
One song, I have but one song.
One song, only for you.
Nomi swooned and tidied herself up as best as she could.
One heart, steadily beating.
Constant and true!
Nomi looked down and found herself falling in love with him as he fell in love with her.
One love that has possessed me.
One love, brimming with truth.
One song, my hear keeps singing.
Of one love, only for you.
Nomi smiled and came down as she kissed Andur gently on his cheek.
"I'm Nomi." Nomi said. "I hope that I see you again."
"Me too." Andur said. He kissed her hand and went off.

Unknown to either lover, Zannah watched from a high up window and scowled. Nomi would pay for putting her at number two.
Well… This idea just came with me, so I went with it. Please tell me what ya think.
