Sorry about the lack of updates but I haven't got a lot of time on the
computer. This is very short but I should have a longer piece by the
weekend.
Leia always believed that you should start a job the way you wanted to carry on. Digging into family history hadn't been what she had bargained for on this trip but she was willing to let it slip. The memory of the hazy woman who had appeared before her was fresh in her memory. Indeed Leia felt anxious to know this woman who had seemed so familiar to her. She just wasn't sure how to.
Chewie listened silently, sometimes barking in concern for his friend and her new mission, but he would stay and help. The human female had earned his trust and he felt protective of her.
Leia decided the best bet was to go deeper into the ruins, if something was there it would have been hidden or the Empire would have claimed it beforehand. It seemed strange to Leia how much of the old palace remained. Many planets that had crossed the Empire had everything ripped away and destroyed. The thought brought images of Aldeeran and she quickly blinked them away.
Besides she liked it here, felt connected in an odd way, she wondered how much or anything Ben Kenobi had told Luke about their parents, from what she knew she had more memories of her mother then Luke. She shuddered. The memories were jumbled and frightening; she had never analyzed them before and wasn't going to start now.
Safe in her pocket was the thin piece of paper. Every so often she would hunt through the mass of stone, trying to find pieces of evidence. It wasn't until noon that she found something. A gravestone. It stood alone almost as if it had been abandoned by all that the person had trusted. Leia came forward, not liking the sinking feeling in her gut. Kneeling Leia brushed away the moss and read the initials.
P.A.S
Padme Amidala Skywalker. It had to be.
Leia stopped, her whole body frozen in place. This was her mother's last resting place. She felt overwhelmed as if the presence of her mother once again filled her. She was part of something huge but at the same time detached.
This part of the palace was nearly intact. Half a wall surrounded what Leia assumed was a courtyard. Where brick once lay it was now covered with soft green grass.
Leia came forward hesitantly. The image of her mother the night before was so real that somehow seeing the gravestone seemed to undermine the presence of her mother.
Leia ran her fingers over the cool stone. P.A.S She must have loved Anakin till the end if she had kept the initials, Leia mused, almost objectively. This she decided was how she would proceed as if she were figuring out a very difficult science problem.
So why did she feel so Un objective?
