Chapter 10: Everything is Alright
Here's another chapter. Hope you like it!
Maybe a few time gaps here & there. Through not in this chapter, next chapter there will be.
Ahrianna heard Master Yoda through the Force, hearing him say Luke had arrived at the docking bays. When she came in, she saw Luke immediately, standing there with a smile on his handsome face and his eyes shining.
Luke ran up to Ahrianna and wrapped his strong arms around her tight waist. He looked in her mysterious noir dark brown eyes for a moment and grabbed her head before he started kissing her while pulling her body against him.
When Luke pushed her away to breath, he felt the truth, Ahrianna was the only woman who could make him happy.
"Thank you, that you came back." Ahrianna said.
"I shouldn't have yelled, I was stupid. I hope you can forgive me for it." Luke said with slight shame.
"I would always forgive you." Ahrianna said. "I didn't see your signs of love, and I hadn't realized I loved you before you told and ran away."
"We're on one line then." Luke said, smirking while saying it.
"We are." Ahrianna said and gave him a kiss on his nose. "Come, we need to prepare ourselves for the plan."
"How long will this preparation take?" Luke asked, walking with Ahrianna while holding her left hand.
"Maybe a month or less, not that much like my training took." Ahrianna said.
On Alderaan...
"Viceroy Organa, have you ever seen signs of Force-Sensitivity in your daughter?" Admiral Piett asked.
"She was mysterious at times, but not that she lifted heavy things." Bail replied. He was tired of answering Imperial questions, this was already the 48th time that they asked him all kind of questions about his daughter.
"Can you tell something about those times she was mysterious?" Admiral Piett asked.
"Well, one day she came back from school and I saw some spark in her eyes I had seen by Master Kenobi & Master Yoda too. I say it was a spark of wisdom and truth, cause the first sentence she spoke was pretty the same to a Jedi wisdom, don't know which one." Bail replied and looked at Breha. "Do you still know it, Breha?"
Breha looked down for a moment. "I believe it was something like 'There is no passion, there is serenity'." she answered.
Admiral Piett looked very pleased and took something from his pocket.
It was a white envelope with green spots on it.
"This was intercepted from an Outer Rim planet to you. We believe this is your daughter's handwriting?" Admiral Piett asked.
Bail looked at the white envelope, seeing his name with black ink in the middle. 'To Viceroy Bail Prestor Organa of Alderaan' He immediately recognized it. "Y-y-yes, this is Ahrianna's handwriting."
"Good. You can keep the letter, since it was adressed to you and I'm not in position to read a letter to any Imperial Senator." Admrial Piett said and stood up. "Have a nice day Viceroy, My Lady." and he left.
Bail waited till the Admiral had left the room and quickly opened it, taking out quite a letter, from his daughter:
Dear father,
As you may know, I am Force-Sensitive and training to become a real Jedi.
All the Jedi Masters I saved are healthy now and we've collided with the Rebel Alliance from Mon Mothma, still we have our own headquarters.
I can't tell you any locations, it's for in case the Empire reads this after it's intercepted.
I feel wiser and stronger now, able to do something to help humanity.
I cannot return to Alderaan at any costs since its way too dangerous.
But I will tell you our New Code, it has quite changed.
"Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy."
Master Kenobi started with this. He wants to wash away his guilt over Anakin Skywalker's fall to the Dark Side, and I can believe him.
"Jedi use their powers to defend and to protect."
Master Windu thought about this, since we're there to protect those who're innocent and defenseless. We're no born Generals or Commanders, we have no lust for power or deep wishes to be great. All we want is defending the innocent against evil and threats to peace.
"Jedi respect all life, in any form."
Old Master Yoda added this, he's very wise and everyone wanted him to say something that could end up in the Code. He's probably the wisest Master who ever lived, may he live on in the Force when he passes.
"Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy."
This is a sentence Luke Kenobi, my training buddy, brought in. We're no Sith, we only listen to the Force and to the innocents around us.
"Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training."
This is what I came up with. I never thought it would end up in the Code, but the Masters seem to think I'm wise enough to say anything for something important like this. I completed my training in only 4 months and I was quite surprised about this. But my Masters apparently weren't that surprised, it was like they expected me to be this 'good' & 'perfect' in Jedi Arts.
I can say nothing else but an old Jedi wisdom to end my letter with: "May the Force be with you."
With love,
Jedi Knight Ahrianna Organa, ex-Crown Princess of Alderaan
Bail cried while reading. He had never thought he could be so proud to his little girl than now.
Breha took the letter from him and read it too. She smiled. "She has become quite wise, hasn't she?" Breha asked, looking at her husband.
Bail dried his eyes. "Yes, she has. Everything we did for her is not lost." he said.
"Indeed not, Ahrianna has now the protection of the whole Rebel Alliance and well trained Jedi Masters. She's safe, and that's what you wanted." Breha said.
"Still she's not here." Bail said. "And I just want to see her, just one more time."
Breha laid a hand on his shoulder. "You will see her soon, I believe in that." she said, smiling at him. "Just don't stop believing."
Bail nodded. "I know." he sighed.
Captain Grayson Antilles walked in. "Viceroy, the folk is waiting for your speech." he said after a formal salute.
Bail stood up, taking his daughter's letter with him.
"What are you going to do?" Breha asked with worry in her voice.
"I will speak for my daughter." Bail replied, walking to the door. "She deserves to be heard."
He walked out of the room, into the hall.
Bail breathed in for the last time before he entered the bright white stage that was put up for his speech in front of the Alderanian Palace.
When the grand doors closed behind him, he knew there was no way back.
Bail coughed and started to speak: "It has been a while ago since I heard from my daughter. But she has found her contact again."
The civilians of Alderaan whispered a few things, but Bail didn't hear it.
Holo-cameras were filming all he said, but Bail didn't care about it.
"My daughter has become a Jedi, trained in the Arts she was supposed to learn all along." Bail spoke. "And now, as her father, I will send her message into the world."
He knew this speech would be put on the Holo-Channel tonight, so everyone in the Galaxy would be able to hear her voice.
"This, is my daughter's voice." Bail said and opened the letter. "We're no born Generals or Commanders, we have no lust for power or deep wishes to be great. All we want is defending the innocent against evil and threats to peace. Power will only bring corruption and prejudice in this Galaxy and justice shall be denied, and when there's no justice, people can never find rest within the Force. We Jedi will live on for generations and defeat this Empire once and for all, but we can't do it alone. We need help from everyone who is against the Empire. We won't back down now. We. Are. One."
It was silent for a brief moment, but then the applause and cheering started. All civilians were happy they had heard something from a Jedi again, they hadn't stopped believing.
Bail was happy to see his people like this, it made him at ease. He could sleep peacefully tonight.
Bail looked up at the sky, still unknowing of where his daughter was. 'Ahrianna, wherever you are, thank you for your message. Your voice shall be heard in the Galaxy tonight, and now your voice is heard, I can sleep peacefully.'
The Jedi had the radio on on the Holo-Channel. It was a legal Imperial channel, but it still carried messages from Rebels, but than twisted in Imperial style.
All Jedi were listening to the speeches of Imperial Senators. Some were not really listening, more busy with talking to another Jedi or a Rebel next to them.
Ahrianna & Luke were just kissing, completely not listening.
"Hey, Ava." the male presentator said. "What did you think of Viceroy Organa's speech today?"
That caught everyone's attention, especially Ahrianna's.
"I think he's in danger, Travis." Ava, the female presentator, replied. "Carrying out a message from a Jedi is forbidden at all costs."
"We can't skip him. So here is the speech of Viceroy Bail Organa of Alderaan." Travis said.
There was a crack in the radio, but then the voice of Bail Organa sounded through the room.
"It has been a while ago since I heard from my daughter. But she has found her contact again." the speech started.
Ahrianna's eyes wided.
"My daughter has become a Jedi, trained in the Arts she was supposed to learn all along." Bail's speech went on. "And now, as her father, I will send her message into the world."
Ahrianna got afraid, afraid for what her father had carried out this afternoon.
"This, is my daughter's voice." Bail spoke. "We're no born Generals or Commanders, we have no lust for power or deep wishes to be great. All we want is defending the innocent against evil and threats to peace. Power will only bring corruption and prejudice in this Galaxy and justice shall be denied, and when there's no justice, people can never find rest within the Force. We Jedi will live on for generations and defeat this Empire once and for all, but we can't do it alone. We need help from everyone who is against the Empire. We won't back down now. We. Are. One."
All Jedi looked at Ahrianna, who was completely shocked.
"Did you send him something?" Mace asked.
"Just one letter." Ahrianna replied. "From after we left Dagobah."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Now we can only hope that your father doesn't get in trouble." Mace said. "Otherwise our plan shall fail."
"It won't completely fail." Luke said. "We just need his Aide."
"True about that, young Kenobi is." Master Yoda said.
Mace sat back in his chair. "Still this is not good at all." he said.
"We need to carry out this plan." Luke pleaded. "And it needs to happen as soon as possible. The less preparation we need, the less moves the Empire can make."
All Jedi voted in, so Master Windu had to get along.
