IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE THE WAR HAS BEGAN. After the battle on Geonosis, Count Dooku's army has managed to separate The Republic from the majority of The Clone Army. Because of this, I have been stationed on the Outer Rim, trying to rid planets of the Separatists.
I haven't seen Anakin in this month, we have both been stationed elsewhere, away from each other. But the Force pull between us remains strong, making me aware of where he is, even if we aren't together.
I rest inside of the sleeping quarters, sitting on my bunk. My hands are holding a ring, made from the metal of Anakin's lightsaber, just to feel closer to him in this war. The ring resides on a necklace which rests around my neck, to prevent it being seen on my finger.
I let out a slight sigh as I feel the cold metal beneath my skin, I like the texture, but I prefer the softness of Anakin's skin, or the smoothness of his robotic arm. I miss him, I believe- no, I know I miss him. He is my husband, of course.
Husband, such a weird word. The word means that Anakin and I are tied together now, as I am his wife. Sometimes, when I lay awake in my bunk, I contemplate if this decision was the right one. I do not have any regrets in marrying Anakin, but I wonder if this is truly the best thing for us.
I let out a deep sigh and tuck the necklace underneath my pale robes. I stand up from my seated place on the bunk and exit the sleeping quarters.

My pink saber slashes through droids and the metal parts fall to the ground. Clones battle all around me and we all fight against the droids. My moves are graceful and elegant, but I have been incorporating some training from my previous master into my saber technique, something he was unable to teach me due to my inability to understand what I was feeling.
The number of droids begin to decrease and I use the Force to sever the heads off of droids whilst using my saber to do the same, doubling the amounts of droids turned to scrap metal.
"They're retreating!" A Clone yells out and I watch as the remaining droids turn on themselves and run away. I let out a slight pant as I watch the droids run away before narrowing my eyes at the sight.
I search through the Force to see what will happen next, but it only shows me how a cruiser has returned to us. I switch off my blade and clip it back to my side, turning away from the fight as I make my way to the cruiser.
It lands on the ground safely before the door opens, with a girl standing inside of it. I frown slightly, I believed they were sending supplies. The young Chiss girl looks at me nervously. "Hello, who might you be?" I ask the girl and she makes her way down the ramp.
"I'm Darana Nexis, are you General Novak?" I nod head at the girl and relief washes over her. "I'm your new Padawan." My eyes widen at her words and I blink for a moment, my mouth opening. "Oh, I was unaware I was gaining a Padawan," I don't believe I will be a good teacher, I don't think I will be able to train her well.
The blue-skinned girl smiles sheepishly at me. "I was assigned to you by Master Windu, he said you would be able to train me." I nod along with her words, swallowing. "Of course. Will you be here fighting with me?" She shakes her head, an embarrassed blush forming on her cheeks.
"You are being sent on a mission by Master Yoda to search for Jabba the Hutt's son on Tattoine. I-I'm sorry I forgot to say that." Her red eyes lower to the ground and I give her a kind smile. "Do not apologise. It is alright, this is your first time meeting me and I understand it can be nerve racking to meet new people." I feel the same, but for an odd reason, I don't feel nervous at the moment.
My hands move at my sides and grip the fabric of my robes. "Thank you... Master." I give her a kind smile and she gives me a small one in return. "When do we leave for the mission?" I ask her politely and her eyes widen.
"O-oh, um, now, actually." I nod my head and make my way up the ramp and into the cruiser. Darana remains on the ground and I stare at her for a moment. "Aren't you joining me?" She turns around instantly, hurrying up the steps.
"Sorry, I'm quite nervous." She looks down at her hands and the ramp closes, a small red light illuminates us. I take my saber and hold it to the side, igniting it to give us more light. "It's alright, you are my first Padawan. Which makes me nervous also." Her red eyes move to look at my glowing pink saber.
"Master.. would it be alright to ask why your saber is pink?" I smile at the young girl as she looks at my blade. She only appears to be a few years younger than me. "I had a Kyber crystal when I was brought to the temple, it happened to be pink. That is all I know, that is what my master had told me." Master Windu hasn't told me much about how he found me.
He only mentioned how he was the one to brought me to the Temple and I had a pink Kyber crystal in my hands. He didn't mentioned anything else, and I didn't asked. I had no desire to know.
But the question from my new Padawan makes my mind return to the battle one month ago. To when Count Dooku asked me if I wanted to know who my parents were. Which now makes me wonder, how does he know?
