Shadows on Toydaria

|| 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟒𝐭𝐡, 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟎 ||

~ ONE WEEK LATER ~

It had been a week since the attack on Kamino, but the memories of that fateful day still lingered, etched in my mind like a scar. Though I had enjoyed a good rest, I couldn't shake off the feeling that time was slipping away from us. Now, I found myself dispatched to the planet of Toydaria, accompanied by the esteemed Senator Organa and the... eccentric Representative Jar Jar Binks. Our mission was to persuade the king to grant us permission to establish a staging base on his planet.

As we soared through the galaxy, I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. Something about this mission didn't sit right with me. I had a nagging feeling that things wouldn't go as planned, that the king's response would be far from what we expected. I pushed the thought aside, focusing on the task at hand, but the unease lingered, a constant hum in the back of my mind.

The stars streaked past us like diamonds on velvet, and the silence between us was palpable. Jar Jar Binks fidgeted in his seat, his long ears flapping wildly as he chattered away in his native tongue. Senator Organa's expression was serene, but I could sense the tension beneath her calm exterior. I, on the other hand, felt like a coiled spring, ready to unleash my energy at a moment's notice.

As we entered Toydaria's atmosphere, the planet's unique landscape unfolded before us like a tapestry. The king's palace came into view, its towering spires and grand architecture a testament to the planet's rich history. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come. This was it. The fate of our mission, and perhaps the fate of the galaxy, hung in the balance.

I straightened my outfit, smoothing out any wrinkles or creases that might have formed during our journey. I wasn't sure what to expect from the King of Toydaria, but I was determined to make a good impression. I had transformed into my human form, shedding my feral appearance for a more refined and dignified look.

I adjusted my attire, making sure I looked as respectable as possible. My red button-up shirt was a deep, rich color that complemented my skin tone perfectly. The relaxed fit was comfortable, and the contrasting beige sleeve added a touch of elegance to the overall design. I made sure my pants were pressed and my shoes were polished, completing my outfit with a sense of style and sophistication.

As I checked my reflection in a nearby mirror, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. I looked like a completely different person, one who was worthy of meeting with a king. My eyes sparkled with confidence, and my smile was bright and charming. I was ready to make a good impression, to show the King of Toydaria that I was a worthy ally and a valuable asset to the Republic.

I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of calm wash over me. I was ready for this meeting, ready to negotiate and persuade the king to grant us permission to establish a staging base on his planet. I was ready to put my best foot forward, to show the king that I was a force to be reckoned with.

As I stepped out of the ship, Senator Organa nodded at me in approval, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. Jar Jar Binks, on the other hand, was more exuberant, clapping his hands together in enthusiasm. "Looking good, Nyx!" he exclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement.

I gave him a small smile, acknowledging his compliment, before turning my attention to the Toydarians who hovered before us. They were an imposing sight, their helmets covering their faces and their staff-like weapons at the ready. "There are no visitors allowed on this planet," one of them stated, his voice firm but polite.
