The old buildings called to Leia, even in sleep. Finding she couldn't close
her eyes the princess bean a thourgh inspection of her new home. Chewie had
offered to come of course, but Leia had declined. She doubted anything of
harm lived here, not when every sense she owned told her this place was
peaceful.
Leia trailed her hand across the smooth marble, admiring the fine craftmanship. In a way it reminded her of her childhood, how she stood amongst many tall, important beings, her father, her court. How tiny she had felt. She felt that again. But something unmistakable brought her to this place, something Leia couldn't ignore. Leia shook her head grimly, reciting Naboo's fate. This was the Old Republic's last system until it fell, Leia had felt compelled to send aid to the trapped planet. She had been too late. In one move the citizens of Naboo had been wiped out, with the same cold efficiency that Aldeeran had been.
Her Journey took her into the palace proper and now she was walking along a veranda of sorts, beneath her was a courtyard dappled in moonlight throwing images of trees and creatures at the young princess. Something was wrong. The light had suddenly grown longer and more bright, engulifing the shadows as if a spot light had been trained on her. Leia reached for her pistol, wary of attack. A woman stood slightly above the floor, Leia could see the forest through the woman's glittering white gown, she had long brown hair worn loose around her shoulders and kind brown eyes. Something jolted within Leia.
Anakin stared straight at the sky. The conflict between his twins was his fault. No matter what Luke said. Anakin turned his head to see his son, trying not to look as worried as he was. "I am sorry Luke. I should go"
"Don't"
Anakin was startled. His son's tone was cold and precise.
"Leia's gone. I don't want to loose you too"
Anakin saw his son then, Lost and alone and needing comfort. He realized like many in the alliance that they relied on the young princess, to build them up. In his short time in the alliance he had seen the loyalty they had to her. He was honoured to have a daughter that so many were willing to die for. But Leia was always willing to die for Honour.
He had once been willing to die for honour.
Now he was willing to die for his children.
