"We don't know where he is."
That phrase echoed through out Cloud City as a woman stared out of her balcony into the fighting below. She couldn't make out all of the figures, but she knew who was down there. The glow of the lightsabers illuminated the night, and then booming sound of explosives and gunshots shook the still water in her sky garden. The clouds were dark grey, and when the clouds in Cloud City were dark grey, there was trouble about.
"Did you hear me, my lady? We don't know where Jedi Master Dreydar is." A young man stood biting his lip delivering the message. The woman turned around, her light brown eyes fulled with tears.
"Is he down there?" She asked, her voice shaking. The young man nodded sadly.
"Aye. He was called by the Council this evening. He went reluctantly..."he paused and went on "But you know how it is to be a Jedi. Once you study...you can never turn back." The woman stared down at the rebellion and sighed.
"But why, why would they come to Bespin? And to Cloud City? We're so peaceful here, political freedom...I" The young man cut her off sharply.
"And what of Naboo? All of the fights there? Are they not peaceful? I am one of the Naboo. We're of peace and harmony, and we'd like to restore everything. Believe me, Lady Dredar, we'd like peace just as much." Lady Dreydar sighed.
"I am sorry. Please forgive me for my words. Now please, leave me be." The young man turned to walk out into the sky hook.. Lady Dreydar suddenly remembered something dear. She turned suddenly, her braids moving fast. " Darren. Where has Faye been?" Darren, the young man turned to face Lady Dreydar.
"My Lady, the last time she was seen was on her balcony of the sky hook. Shall I check on her?" Lady Dreydar frowned slightly with a worried look.
"Please do. And send her forth if she has been doing anything she shouldn't be." Darren bowed.
"Of course, my lady." He exited the room and left the woman in peace as she stared out of the tropical garden into the fighting distance.
