Anakin stood outside of the balcony, his hands behind his back and his eyes closed as he felt the sun on his face. He was thinking about his dream from last night and how vivid it was in the dream. He didn't notice Myria walking outside to the balcony. She wore a long blue nightgown with a white shawl around her shoulders. She felt guilty for rejecting Anakin the way she did and wanted to say something to make them but she didn't know the words. She moved to walk up to him but stepped back and turned to walk away.

"Don't go," He said, his eyes closed.
"I didn't want to disturb you," She said. A grin appeared on Anakin's face whose eyes were still closed.
"Your presence is soothing to me," He said.
"Now that's a line I haven't heard before, "She said, walking toward him. Anakin opened his eyes and turned to look at Myria.

"I'm just full of surprises," He said with a grin. The conversation went silent for a minute before Myria spoke again.
"So how did you sleep?"She asked, already knowing the answer.
"Fine" He lied. Myria sighed and stepped toward him. She knew that he had another nightmare and knew that he didn't want to tell her, based on how he kept his face facing out on the horizon, knowing that she would read him immediately.
"I know that you had a nightmare, Ani," She said
"Jedi don't have nightmares," He said. Myria rolled her eyes at that statement
"I heard you last night" Anakin sighed and turned to look at Myria.
"I should be asking you if you're okay," He said. Myria grinned at him.
"I took my pills," She said "Now stop changing the subject"
"I'm fine," He said, but Myria wasn't buying that answer.
"Anakin what's going on?"He was about to say something but was interrupted by a voice.
"Princess?"They turned to the door and saw a young woman standing there. She wore a sage green dress that stood out with her tan skin tone, blond hair, and blue eyes.
"Yes?"
"My name is Lady Evande Suri and I'm your assigned lady from your parents," She said. Myria smiled at the young woman.
"Nice to meet you Lady Evande" She greeted.

Evande smiled and bowed to Myria.
"I was told to escort you to the training room in the castle for a meeting with a new trainer of yours" She answered. Anakin stepped up at the mention of an old trainer.
"Trainer?"He said, "What are you training her for?"Evande shook her head.
"I was only told to relay the message, I was given no other intel" She answered. Myria laid a hand on her chest, calming him down.
"I'll be fine," She said, walking towards Evande.
"We will continue our talk later," She said before leaving with Evande.
~~~~~~

Evande and Myria walked through the hallways to the training center. She had changed out of her sleepwear into a red and gold training outfit given to her by the servants and tied up her hair into a bun.
"So who is this new trainer?"Myria asked.
"His name is Ares Daagh and he used to train soldiers in the old wars"Evande explained. Myria hummed in amusement.
"So a kind of a war trainer then?"Myria asked. Evande nodded.
"I think so, but the rank name is Commander of the Soldiers," Evande explained.

Myria hummed as they approached the training door that was open for them. They saw a man standing in the room, his lightsaber on his belt and his sword in his hand. He had a dark almond skin tone with curly black hair, long green eyes, and black scruff covering his chin.
"I'll be outside," Evande said, walking out with the soldiers.
"Greetings your highness"He greeted, his voice deep.
"Greetings to you as well, Commander"He shook his head.
"Please, call me Ares, "He said. Myria nodded as she took up daggers from the wall.
"Poetic name huh?"She said, walking into the middle of the circle. Ares hummed and nodded.
"Parents had a great choice," He said.
"Well then let's begin ''

Myria ran towards Ares, his sword striking with her daggers. She jabbed the butt of her dagger toward his face but her arm was caught and held against his chest. She kicked his stomach with her heel and kicked him in the side, forcing him away from her.
He stumbled to the ground but quickly came back up to his feet.
"Those bones of yours getting old?"She teased. He chuckled and shook his head.
"Not really," He answered.
He charged toward her with his sword and dodged her sword that swung toward his head. He swung the sword over her head, which she dodged.
Ares jabbed her side and her stomach before forcing her back. She stumbled back to her feet
"You're a Jedi?"She said.
"What more are you hiding?"She asked.
"More than you may know," He answered.
