Journey to the Past

DISCLAIMER: Lets keep it simple, k? All the Star Wars characters mentioned here on out belong to George Lucas. There are a few people, rather minor characters, who come in later who belong to me but I don't care if you use them - just let me know. Thanks!

PROLOGUE:

The ruined Nubian castle loomed over Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo. "The history books in the Senatorial Library said this place was once full of beauty and grandeur. It was destroyed during the reign of Queen Mei'inda, Queen Jamilla's successor. Since then Naboo has relied solely on her Governor and Senator to guide the government." Luke was quiet before he said, "Its hard to believe our mom used to live here. Are you sure the governor said we can look around?" "Yes. The structure is perfectly safe although no one has lived there for several years. Come on . . . let's go in." Leia grabbed her brother's arm and both slowly climbed the stairs into the gigantic Theed Palace.

Luke wondered into a room near what his sister figured to be the Queen's headquarters. It was large and yet it had a plain quality to it. *This must be the head servant's quarters.* He opened the gigantic window-doors and let the sea air in.

Beginning to look around, he spotted a nightstand with the drawer partly open. Opening it, he pulled out a book - leather bound and very dusty. *What's this? A diary? Book?* He brushed it off and opened it. "My name is Sabe," it began, "the head handmaiden to Padme Naberrie Amidala, Queen of Naboo. This is my story..." Realizing that this Sabe who wrote this knew his mother, he called to Leia.

"What is it Luke?" He motioned for her to sit while beginning to say, "I found a book . . . a journal at that of someone who served our mother." "Let me see," she said taking the book from her brother. "My name is Sabe . . . this is my story . . ." She looked up at Luke before she looked back down and continued to read aloud . . .
