Fury Unleashed

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the palace, we were summoned back into the throne room. The air was thick with anticipation, and I could feel the weight of the king's decision hanging in the balance. Lott Dod was already seated, his smug expression making my skin crawl. I gritted my teeth, feeling my fangs nibbling at my lip like a warning sign. I knew I had to keep my cool, no matter what transpired in this room.

As we entered, the king looked up from his throne, his eyes piercing in the fading light. "Ah, welcome back," he said, his voice like a low rumble of thunder. "I trust you've had time to reflect on our earlier discussion?"

I nodded, my eyes locked on the king's face. I could sense a hint of tension in the air, a feeling that the king's decision was about to be revealed. Lott Dod, on the other hand, seemed to be savoring the moment, his eyes gleaming with a malevolent light.

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come. I knew that the next few minutes would be crucial, that the fate of Ryloth and the Republic hung in the balance. I felt a surge of determination course through my veins, and I knew that I would do whatever it took to protect the innocent and bring justice to the galaxy.

"So what have you chosen, my lord?" I asked in a firm and steady voice, raising an eyebrow at the king. He sighed deeply, with an expression that was a mixture of regret and determination."I'm sorry, but I can't allow a base here," he said in a firm but apologetic voice. "It would betray our neutrality."

I felt a wave of anger rise up inside me, like a storm on the horizon. But I kept my cool, my face a mask of calm calculation. I smiled coldly, with a glint of steel in my eyes.

"I understand," I said with sarcasm in my voice. "You have made your choice. It's your hands their blood is on, not ours."

With that, I turned on my heel and walked out of the throne room, leaving the king and Lott Dod to their own devices. I felt the weight of the king's decision settle on my shoulders, like a heavy burden I had to carry. But I was determined to see this through, to find a way to help the people of Ryloth and bring justice to the galaxy, no matter what obstacles lay in my way.

As I stood outside the palace, Bail Organa approached me, his expression a mixture of disappointment and frustration. "I'm sorry, it didn't go as we had hoped," he said, shaking his head.

I merely shrugged, a wry smile spreading across my face. "I didn't expect more from mortals," I said, my voice tinged with a hint of bitterness. "I'll just have to take matters into my own hands. I'll head to Ryloth myself and reduce the droid army to scrap metal."

I turned to Bail, my eyes locking onto his. "But thank you for coming with me on this, Bail. Your support means a lot to me." I then turned to Jar Jar, a nod of appreciation in his direction. "And you too, Jar Jar. You're both valuable friends to the Republic."

With that, I transformed into my wolf-like form, my body shifting and contorting as I unleashed my inner beast. I took off at a sprint, my paws pounding the ground as I disappeared into the distance, ready to take on the challenges that lay ahead. The wind rushed past me, whipping my fur back and forth as I ran, my heart pounding with excitement and determination. I was a force to be reckoned with, and I would stop at nothing to protect the innocent and bring justice to the galaxy.

"She did what?" Anakin's voice echoed through the dimly lit chamber, his gaze fixed on the holographic projection of Bail Organa. The elder statesman's hologram let out a weary sigh: "I'm sorry, Skywalker, but I couldn't hold her back. She left before I could stop her." Anakin's eyes narrowed and his hand lifted instinctively to rub the tension from his face. "This could be dangerous," Ashoka's soft voice added, her words dripping with a mixture of concern and trepidation.
