Eowyn; thanks for paying attention. Critique, please! And I'm moving slowly through Mirromath

Thank you SpiritWhite and DarthGladiator45; reviews are my breath & words. It's supposed to be a little confusing right now, unless that's less a plot and more a sentance or format problem, in which case please point that out.

I go into the conference room at the end of the meeting.

"Leia." I say. "I'm sorry."

She pushes the braids hanging over her shoulders back to the rest of her hair. "I finished your planned speech. But the queen is ruffled. Now we're meeting suspicion of the Jedi here as well, and this was not expected." She looks at me sharply, still not accusing.

I sit down. "I think there is some sort of spirit here, something old, some powerful presence."

"And it's influencing you?"

I nod. I realize things, stacked priorities, and don't like them. I stand again and point at my sister. "There might be an answer--already. One of the Gungans has seen it too; he may be Force-sensitive." She smiles a little, wearily. "But this thing--it's dark. I don't know about evil, but dark. Watch out for me, will you? I may do more damage."

Leia looks down from me, toward the Noghri at the doors. "I'll watch out."

Thank you for accepting this. "Thank you."

She hugs me curtly and goes out. I follow soon after, but not to soon that I have to see her retreating back, always strong for someone else.

"Lights up two points."

I sit alone later, tucked into myself, just breathing, staying on the edge of the bed. I think; more danger and I have to deal with it. Slowly I fall. So it is some presence...some person. it is walking around in the back of my mind, undefinable. Something dead, yes, and in the past, but it doesn't know it's dead...I can't touch it, yet. I don't know it well and it's dormant sometimes.

I am not confidant. When I walked down the hall of the senate the people looked at me and they whispered, "He killed Emperor Palpatine. He overturned the Empire. Jedi, at the head of the organization that birthed us sitting here today.'

Our democracy is built on lies? No, only on simplicity.

This is going too far now. I can't find the enemy, but probably that means it won't go to its work soon.

I do some research on Naboo with the small computer in the corner. There is some history, but I get distracted by a swoop racing view feed.
