Chapter V: All Hope Eclipsed

QUEEN ANGELLA'S JOURNAL

33rd DAY IN THE THIRD YEAR OF THE HORDE'S OCCUPATION OF ETHERIA

We have searched every corner of Etheria and Eternia and have no sign of Adora, I fear that she might have perished in space during the storm, and I have the sad duty of telling her family and friends the findings of the search.

This will be hard but it must done, however I will wait an hour to see if I get a reply. While I was sitting listening, my daughter Glimmer came into the room, I could tell that she was worried about Adora and came to see if we found any sign of Adora.

"Any news?" she asked as me as approached the console, she studied the readout hoping they told her that Adora was safe and sound.

"I'm afraid not, dear, I'm going to search for one more hour and if I don't hear from her, I will announce the she died," I informed Glimmer as I comforted her, it broke her heart to even think that Adora was dead Adora was her friend and to lose her was just devastating.

I just hope that Adora is alive not only for the sake of Glimmer but for all those who care for her, please Light Hope, let her be alive!

THE LOG OF DARTH VADER, DARK LORD OF THE SITH

20 YEARS AFTER THE END OF THE CLONE WARS

The strange events of the day have gotten stranger, when I was escorting her to the Emperor I sensed the Force in her, but she wasn't trained as a Jedi, normally this is not a big deal, after all I wasn't found until I was nine years old.

What was strange was that I sensed a power in her greater than the Force, if that is possible, a power that seems to augment her innate Force powers and make even more formidable.

While I was mediating on this, I received a transmission of the Emperor's advisor, Sate Pestage that the prisoner escaped, some rebels broke into her cell and spirited her away to their base.

I needed to get her back and knew just the person to do it, I activated the comlink in my chamber, "Lt. Piett, send a message to the Planet Kamino saying a reward of 6.9 million credits is offered for the capture of Princess Adora" I instructed him.

"Yes my lord," Piett replied as he signed off and went to carry out my orders, if all would go as planned I will recapture the princess and using that power she posses I will overthrow Palpatine and then I will be the master Sith!

PRINCESS ADORA'S DIARY

33rd DAY IN THE THIRD YEAR OF THE HORDE'S OCCUPATION OF ETHERIA

Bail has invited to have dinner tonight with him and his daughter Leia, I have seen her before around the palace and tried to talk to her, bur she seems like she avoiding me, I think she thinks her father doesn't love her, which is untrue, I know that because Bail has told me about how proud he is of her many times.

While I was washing up and getting ready to attend the dinner, an explosion rocked the room and sent me flying.

When the smoked cleared, I saw a tall man standing in my room; his face was obscured by a green battle helmet with red markings and an antenna on top of it.

He also wore green battle armor that was had a few pockmarks on it like he had seen battle.

"Princess Adora, you're coming with me!" he said as he fired a grapple cord at me. I tried to get out of the way but I Was too slow and couldn't escape before the cord wrapped around me, I tried to break free but the cord was too strong.

"You have a date with Lord Vader' he said as he blasted me out of the room with me dangling in the air.

We flew for several miles until we reached his ship, it reminded me of a satellite, with its odd shape and wings.

He lowered the ramp and entered the ship, he released the cord and placed me in the ship's cargo hold and headed for the cockpit.

"Hold on tight, this ride is going to get bumpy" he said as he ignited the engines and we took off.

My situation has gone from bad to worse and I pray to Light Hope that I will survive this time but if I die then I will do so with honor and dignity.
