The spaceship's original medical facilities would be difficult to hold Anakin's life for long. Under the power of the mysterious old woman, medical droids inside the spacecraft began to be shrouded by green mists.
"How are you going to cure him?" The Duchess asked the droid coldly.
She was not eager to ask the droids to start the process, but firstly ask the details.
"His organs were hurt, because the Force was protecting his body, there is no further deterioration yet, but we need ..." The droid's tone was different than usual. They even understood how did the Force work.
"I can handle most of the process of this surgery." Satine said after heard the droid's introduction of the surgery. She grew up in the time of the civil war and spent a lot of time and effort to study the medical technology.
"This ..."
"I will perform the surgery, and you will assist me." She gave the order coldly.
Satine performed the surgery with her best effort, a few steps must be performed by the medical droids, she also carefully monitored the droids during those steps, and make sure those green mists did not come too close to Anakin.
She once noticed a tiny bit of the green mist, almost escaped the naked eye, were slowly trying to touch the body of Anakin, but blue light glowed near Anakin's body and dispersed the mist.
The Force? Satine was not a Force sensitive, but she silently thanked the Force for protecting Anakin.
The surgery was successful, Anakin's body wouldn't take too long to recover, but his mind was still unconscious, it was unclear that when would he wake up.
As the Duchess of Mandalore, she had seen too many men, many had died before they could say any words to her, and the rest are mostly sanctimonious politicians and rude military officials. With she grew mature, she could see through these men's mind and knew how to deal with them. The conversation with these people were mostly just cliches and lies. That's why she kept the affection of Obi Wan for so long until finally realized that Obi Wan was long "dead".
But Anakin, like she had already seen and thought about, it was really difficult for her to resist. While his love, had not belong to her yet.
She had only seen such glare from one man before.
Of course, the feeling toward that person was not love, but the deepest respect.
Too bad she couldn't attend his funeral because of the serious crisis on her own planet during that time, it had been one of the things she regret the most in her life.
Now she was with Anakin, she swore she would never let him fall before her eyes.
The young JedI was in a coma now, the best way to express her feeling of him, was to use her best effort to take care and protect him. Satine hated to pretend to be delicate and weak to gain man's compassion, while it usually is a very effective way to win man's heart.
She really hope Anakin could know what she did for him.
While except those mysterious green mists, there was nothing wrong, but she still could not put her guard down.
They could not just stay here forever. That dangerous old woman and that Sith Lord both would make move against them.
She silently prayed to the Force, then she saw Anakin was surrounded with blue glow. At the same time, the green mists all but disappeared in the ship, it seems that the Force had answered her.
Satine thanked the Force, then she started her work, trying to fix the communication device.
She knew a little bit about how to fix these devices but was not very proficient. Fortunately, the device wasn't badly damaged. That Force even tried to help her to strengthen the power of the device. They could only send brief message to Coruscant but it should be enough. When Satine touched that blue glow of the Force, she felt familiar with it.
She chose to communicate with Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic.
"Chancellor Palpatine, your highness. this is Duchess Satine Kryze of Kalevala. " Satine didn't forget the etiquette, but she must explain the situation clearly as soon as possible, "Anakin and I were trapped in the planet of Akaan of our sector. He was also injured, we are facing the threat of a Sith Lord and a witch. I hope you to send reinforcement as soon as possible, thanks. "
Right after she had finished these words, the communication was interrupted, seeing the image of Palpatine nodded before disappearing, she once again close your eyes and prayed again to the Force.
Anakin had not yet regained consciousness, He felt his mind was filled by mysterious Force power and still in chaos.
Strangely, he could not remember what happened, only felt pain of his belly.
He felt there was a woman beside him, she was very friendly and was taking care of him.
Although he did not see her face, he could that this woman had feeling toward him, she care about him a lot.
"Padmé, is that you?"
In this moment, he firstly thought about his wife.
He first met Padmé on Tatooine when he was just nine, he never saw such a beautiful girl before. At that time he asked her "Are you an angel?", also promised to her: When he grew up, he would marry her.
He first met Padmé on Tatooine when he was just nine, he never saw such a beautiful girl before. At that time he asked her "Are you an angel?", also promised to her: When he grew up, he would marry her.
Ten years later, they grew affection in Naboo and married secretly.
In order to protect Padmé, his must become more powerful, never let the tragedy of his mother happen on her.
He could only remember these two, the most important people in his life.
As for others, he could only find vague images in his memory, regardless of how hard he tried to think and remember.
He was so tired, but still didn't give up, he planned to find more memory through the most important people he could remember.
His efforts were not entirely wasted, and Padmé memory, an image was getting closer. It was man in his mid-thirties. Anakin had very strange feelings for him, he was very familiar, but he didn't feel they are really close.
"I'm sorry, Anakin."
Just as he was about to recall the name of this figure, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
Visions that he had never seen before suddenly appeared in Anakin mind, interrupted him when he was so close to remember who that image was.
Like the vision of his mother's death, but this time, they were more strange and hard to imagine.
"No, no, Padmé, no ..."
The Anakin body could not help trembling, his forehead was full of sweat.
"Witch! What have you done? " Satine shouted out. She looked around and saw no green mist, then she approached Anakin, used her hands to hug the JedI's head, and let her cheek to attach his face.
The Duchess knew there is nothing to concern now, this man needed her protection, just like she once needed his. She had to express what she felt about him. Thinking again about Obi Wan, who she no longer loved would be silly.
This man was very good, but his heart belonged to another woman, and even got married, would this be a huge mistake?
No, don't think like this again, all she wanted to do was to let him know and feel her affection. She would not force him to do anything.
At the moment Satine's cheek attached his face, Anakin realized this woman was not Padmé, he could not help and shivered his body due to the surprise. Was this woman relate to the horrible visions he just saw?
That voice, the voice of an elder appear again in his mind again, "Do not worry, Anakin, she is not malicious, not at all."
Anakin could not remember who that was, But he found he trusted this voice so much, without knowing his identity. His body no longer shivered.
"You are in great danger, what you just saw were pieces of the future. That woman, is the only trustworthy people in this crisis." The kind voice was full of regret and frustration, "I'm sorry, Anakin. I just ... I just couldn't find a better way to help you go through. Remember, nobody is not reliable than her, not even ..."
That voice did not continue to go on. No matter how many times Anakin tried to ask questions, there was no answer.
It's strange, Anakin could not remember who that man was, but he totally trust this voice, he must also be very important to him.
Now he knew that he must recover as soon as possible.
"Thank you, lady." Anakin said softly.
Satine was already very tired after the surgery and watched Anakin for more than ten hours. When that came to her ear, her beautiful face returned Anakin with a smile, even though he might not see it.
Shortly after, Satine finally could not hold anymore, she fell asleep on the side of Anakin.
She did not know that not far from the ship, massive amount of green mists were gathering.
They tried to invade the ship again, but didn't work.
"We still need some time to complete it, my strength was still keep flowing away," said a husky voice.
"Let me go…inside…and…" a burly figure near those mists spoke out, he seemed injured.
"No, the force was strong in him, once he detected our hostility, everything will be undone." the husky voice spoke slowly.
"Do not worry, I found the key to solve this, and soon I will become stronger than ever. and you will be greatly rewarded. "
