Jedi Storytime: The Jedi Queen

The Elephant Graveyard

"Yeah! We lost him." Vince said victoriously.

"I am a genius," said Myra, brushing back one of her pigtails.

"Uh, hey, genius, it was my idea." Vince pointed out.

"Yeah, but I pulled it off."

"With me!"

"And me." Comedia said.

"Oh yeah?"

Myra and Vince both took on lion form as the former pounced, only to get pinned by Vince.

"Ha! Pinned ya." Vince teased.

"Hey, let me up!" Myra whined, getting Vince off.

Myra tried pouncing again, this time the two of them rolling down a hill and laughing, only for Vince to be on top once more.

"Pinned ya again."

Suddenly, a cloud of dust filled the air that had Comedia whinnying in surprise.

"This is it." Myra said. "We made it."

The three kids climbed up a smaller hill that the one they'd come down from, on which there sat a huge skull. An elephant skull to be exact. The kids all were flabbergasted by the sight of this place.

The children walked by one of the skulls' tusks and looked over it to see a huge field of bones.

"Whoa!" the kids gasped.

Comedia, however, gulped at the sight of the many, many bones, some of which she was convinced weren't all elephant bones.

"It's really creepy." Vince said.

"Yeah." Myra smiled. "Isn't it great?"

"Oh, yeah. Nothing I'd rather do than be in a scary graveyard." Comedia said, a bit of sarcasm in her voice.

"We could get in big trouble. Vince said, ignoring Comedia.

"I know!" Myra said. She looked at the skull curiously. So did Vince.

"I wonder if its brains are still in there."

"Bleh! I think I'll lose my breakfast if I see that." Comedia grimaced.

"There's only one way to find out." Myra said, walking toward the skull. "There's only one way to know. Let's go check it out."

But that was when something blue and feathery popped in front of Myra before turning into a human man.

"Wrong! The only checking out you will do will be to check out of here." Obi-Wan said, taking Myra's wrist and starting to pull her away from the skull. "We're way beyond the boundary of the Pride Lands."

That made Comedia squeak fearfully.

"Look, guys, banana beak is scared." Myra teased, despite Obi-Wan being in human form at the moment .

"That's Master Banana Beak to you, Princess, and right now we are all in very real danger."

"Danger? Ha!" Myra yanked her hand away from Obi-Wan and got close to the mouth of the skull. "I walk on the wild side. I laugh in the face of danger."

Myra laughed a bit before she heard someone cackling behind her. That had her running back to her friends and bodyguard.

Three beings exited from the elephant skull. Hyenas. A green one, a blue one, and a brown one. All three of them took on their biped forms, revealing them to be a Dathomirian, a Trandoshian, and a Weequay. Their names were Ventress, Bossk, and Tak.

"Well, well, well, Bossk. What have we got here?" said Ventress, approaching the group.

"Hmm. I don't know. What do you think, Tak?" Bossk hissed.
