The eyes of the smallfolk followed Anakin and Eloise the entire walk back to the palace. Many welcomed their queen back, little girls lining up to catch a glimpse of the beautiful woman that the singers in town sang about in their songs.

While many looked at the Queen with admiration in their eyes, some looked at the Jedi with some kind of disgust on their face. Yet, no one dared to speak a word of a Jedi's presence. They knew who he was, the Jedi that was here when the Queen was just a princess. But after their fallout, no one dared to whisper his name near Queen Eloise.

The stairs that led to the palace were many, a long way until the top of the mountain. "Think you can handle all these stairs, or do I have to carry you?" She asked in a teasing tone. Anakin only grinned before starting to walk up the stairs, "I climbed the entire mountain, this is nothing to me."

The two walked the stairs with ease finally approaching the wide gates of the palace. Anakin only saw the palace twice, and he never notice how some of the pillars had vines covering them. He also didn't notice the statues having the shapes of dragons.

A load roar was heard underneath them, while Eloise didn't look, Anakin was curious so he looked. He almost lost his balance when Fahran flew right next to him into the high clouds. Fahran settled right on top of the castle, underneath his large body, was engraved in the stone the sigil of House Moon.

Eloise slightly laughs at his reaction to Fahran's entrance, "Fahran always does this, and it's alright. He won't hurt you." She assures him, but Anakin was hesitating. "And how do you know that?"

"Because you won't hurt me."

The doors open before Eloise and the guards bow down to her, slightly eyeing Anakin suspiciously but didn't dare to question the Queen.

The inside was as beautiful as the outside of the castle, he watched the servants use their magic to clean the castle, the House Moon banners were everywhere, and the walls of the halls had engraved different magical creatures from dragons to mermaids.

Many servants were already gathering around the Queen, waiting for an order. "Lyra? Ara?" She called out. The two girls, not older than a year then the Queen, were quick to obey her orders.

"Could you show General Skywalker his chambers? It's been quite a long way, maybe even draw a bath to him." Eloise asked the girls, shoving Anakin to their directions.

The girls hold themselves back from squeaking when they saw the handsome Jedi. Finally a pretty face, and not those old lords that came to visit the Dragon Queen, they thought. "Of course, my Queen." The blond one said, composing herself and asking "Do you wish to send a call for Vea, Your Grace?"

"I'll be in my chancery, but I'll wish after to get out of these clothes. Please tell Vea to prepare me one of my dresses for later." She quickly nods and the two girls bring Anakin to his chambers.

Anakin wanted to protest against it, but when he looked behind him he saw how everyone was already crowding the Queen. He let the two maids drag him to his chambers.

His chambers looked much nicer than any other rooms he ever slept in in his life. Though it was much smaller than Eloise's chamber, it was quite similar, besides that he didn't have a balcony, only a window.

"Your bath will be done in a moment, m'lord." The girl named Ara said, keeping her head low, way too shy to look at the man infront of her. "I don't want a bath right now." Anakin said firmly, still looking around amazed.
