Ignite (A star war fanfic)

sighs

*A/N hey everyone! I am sorry I haven't updated in a while.....I have been super busy and the quarter for school just closed and that was just such a stressful week but I hope you enjoy this chapter!

"Your majesty..." Sean started but I stopped him.

"you don't have to be so formal with me." I reminded him. It had been a week since I had been enacted as queen and there was a lot to fix. I wasn't raised royalty and just wanted to feel a little normal so I insisted on not being so formal. 

"Yes, sorry, I am still getting used to it. I was starting to say that you have a lot to do today." He said. I sighed and nodded for him to continue. I wished Caleb was here or Obi wan, but thankfully Obi wan said whenever he came to visit he would bring my old padawan. 

"You have to oversee one of the training sessions and also you agreed to listen to the petitioners on become a neutral planet and also you were going to sell some of your royal attire to give more money to the poverty filled, so you will have to go through that." He said. It was making me tired even listening to all I had to do but thankfully I couldn't sleep the night before so I had already went and put them all in a pile. I had a lot to fix on this planet and figured I would try to fix it by making things more even.

"The clothes are all in a pile in my room, please send someone to pick them up and bring them to the buyer then put the profit in the royal vault so we can figure out where to spread it out. Is there a training session now?" I asked getting up out of my seat. I had just finished my breakfast. 

"Yes, you just have to oversee it for a little bit to make sure it is to your specifications. They are in training room A." He said leaving me to sell the clothes. I wasn't selling them all since I still needed some but I filled my closet with my own clothes. I went to training room A and viewed many of the troops sword fighting against each other, for training purposes of course. 

"General, how is the training going?" I asked Wilson. I no longer had charge of my clones, sadly...but I am sure that the battle wouldn't be the last time I saw them. 

"It is going well, just how you wanted. We are conditioning the new troops to be stronger than ever." He said. I  nodded looking around. They all seemed to be shaping up especially one whom wasn't of my species...well half species. He looked to be a lasat. 

"Who's he?" I asked Wilson. 

"Oh, that's Garazeb Oriells, he is from Lasan and was sent here to train knowing he would have an advantage on the battle field if he ever had to go learning different battle techniques." He said. 

"So, other species can fight in this army if needed?" 

"Yes, although it is very rare but I am pretty sure he is just here to train and learn." Wilson continued. I nodded and walked away going around to Garazeb and his opponent. I was watching them closely, he seemed to use his aggression to overpower his opponent. I grabbed a sword and went over to him and his opponent. 

"May I cut in?" I asked. His opponent nodded and moved out of the way for me. 

"Do you know whom I am?" I asked him. I was hoping he didn't, he looked like a potential ally and I needed to earn his respect and know that it wasn't just because I was a queen. 

"No, I am guessing you are a new soldier?" He questioned. I shrugged.

"It's a mystery." I said winking to the people watching. They moved back. He seemed young, maybe around 20's. I took my fighting stance and we began. I have to admit he was very strong and managed to take me off my feet a few times but I would get back up. We were of about equal strength but I found his weak spot eventually, his feet were bare and I stomped on one of them surprising him and eventually kicking his weapon out of his hand leaving him defenseless...he looked surprised. 

"Your majesty, it is time for you to meet with the petitioners." Sean said coming over to us. I sighed.

"Sorry Garazeb, but I have to go...you are a worthy opponent and have earned my respect by not going easy on me." I said to him. I could tell he was shocked.

"No, your majesty, you have earned my respect." He said getting up. 

"I will be watching you progress very closely Garazeb...do not let me down." I said putting the sword back. He nodded and I left. 

"Do I have a quick few minutes to change?" I asked Sean. He nodded and I rushed going back to my room to change. When I arrived at the throne room there were four representatives for the people there. 

"Welcome!" I said going over and shaking all of their hands. They looked shocked. I raised my eyebrows.

"Usually royalty does not give us the respect you have just given us." They said. I looked surprised but motioned for them to sit at the table in the room. It was brought in so we could discuss the petition.

"We have gotten signatures from all over requesting that we are a neutral planet. We are afraid that the costs of war will ruin our planet and want to get back to a thriving economy. We are so close, but this war will prevent that." They said. I sat for a moment listening to their pleas. They continued, backing up their petition. 

"I hear your pleas and will give much thought into what to do. I will give you a decision no later than the end of this week. Thank you for coming to me personally with this." I told them all getting up. I sensed I was needed elsewhere.

"No, Thank you for meeting with us." They all said getting up and I had one of the guard show them out. I was already tired and the day was only half over. I walked out and started looking around for my guest, but I didn't know who to look for or even where to go. I was still getting to know my way around. I hadn't actually lived here for very long, to remember, when I was young so I got lost frequently. I came across a long hallway with multiple paintings...it must be of all the descendants of my family.

"That was your great grandfather Louis, he was the last great ruler before it all went downhill." A voice said startling me. I jumped around and looked to see a very short orange person standing behind me with Sean.

"This is Maz Kanata." He said. 

"Yes, yes I can introduce myself." She said making me smirk.

"Thank you, you're dismissed." I said to him. He bowed his head slightly and left us. 

"I trust that you were treated well in my request for you to come here." I said to her trying to sound proper. 

"You don't have to be so proper, I can tell you are different than others." She said making her glasses lens get bigger. I was very uncomfortable at the moment. 

"after you live as long as I, you learn about people through their eyes. Eyes are the windows to the soul." She said. I nodded slowly.

"And what do my eyes say about me?" I asked.

"You're a sacrificer, always doing things for others first. I have a feeling that is why I am here." She said. I nodded. 

"I'm sorry I never properly introduced myself, I am Amberlee Skywalker." I told her shaking her hand. 

"sister to the chosen one......you're going to be the reason he fails or succeeds." She said. I scoffed.

"No pressure." I said sarcastically.

"Can you explain more of what that entails, how am I supposed to help him but help everyone here at the same time?" I asked her. She hmmmed and started to walk down the hallway looking at more of the pictures. The one with my father didn't have my mother in it, they must have redone it with his new wife and put it up. Then there was one with my sister and her husband, and soon there would be one of me. 

"The advice I can give is to follow your gut....that is how you will know what to do." She said. I sighed. It seems I've been doing that a lot lately. 

"Well......I would not want you to have come all this way for just this small talk so please stay as long as you like." I said to her. 

"I sense you have a lot on your mind so I will accept your offer." She said. I smiled and led her away going to bring her to a room.
