Hey! Not much to say so, R&R! :)
Ahsoka had been surprised when the Queen had shed only one tear. After all, she was only nine. Yet, she was the Queen, and the Queen had to set an example for everyone.
She was the last to leave the death scene. Ahsoka had carefully and quietly taken a purple flower and tucked it in behind Dormé's ear. She remembered from overhearing on the Queen's teachings of the different flowers and plants that this type was called Sleeping-Death. Both animals and other species alike were often attracted to the flower and ate it. Immediately, once the sweet petals touched your tongue, you'd fall into a deep sleep, never to awake again.
She tucked it behind the loyal handmaiden's ear before bidding farewell. Then, she ran off in order to catch up with the others.
Evelyn now had no more inner turmoil. She was now focused. Focused on the goals ahead and how to achieve them. They were about half a mile from the city gates when they decided to discuss exactly what they should do and what course of action they should take.
"My Queen, this is going to be very dangerous." Obi Wan said to start the conversation.
"I understand Master Kenobi," Evelyn replied regally, "Yet I shall take back what's ours." Everyone nodded in agreement before Anakin inquired,
"Do you have a plan Your Highness?" Padmé wondered what the Queen had in mind about what they were to do as much as Anakin did, and backed him up by saying,
"Yes, what do you have in mind?" The Queen coughed a few times before stating,
"Yes," then continued, "we will sneak around using the passages on the far side of the East Gate. Then find their base and destroy it. If we destroy their base, we wil cripple whoever our enemy is severely and perhaps they will either retreat or surrender." Obi Wan nodded. It wasn't an amazingly well-thoughtout plan, but it was all they had. Also, it may just work.
The Queen, handmaidens, and Padmé got into their traveling clothing that they bought earlier because it was easier to move in. The Queen washed off her face makeup and with Anali's help, added a little neutral color to try to tone down the paleness and clamminess from her face. Eirataé stayed with Senator Bulgrasse and Organa to protect them while everyone else took off at a quick jog towards the East Gate.
Ahsoka was pumped and ready for battle. She was at the moment crouched in a low, feline, position under some brush with the Queen next to her. Ahsoka glanced over her shoulder to see her analyzing the East Gate in which they were in front of. Do you have the information you need? Ahsoka asked, speaking inside her head.
Yes. The Queen replied in the same way, then nodded, like they had planned to. The first part was what surprised Ahsoka. They hadn't planned to have The Queen speak inside Ahsoka's head. Had they even known she could do that? The answer Ahsoka came up with was no. She had no recollection of knowing the Queen could do this. In fact, she was pretty sure that the Queen was not even aware of it.
I know. It wasn't that long but I had a lot of homework and wanted to give you something. Just letting you know, I hope to wrap up this story in a few more chapters and then in a few weeks, post up the second story of the series.
Please review!
