I

• The Return of Artemis •

The night that it all happened still replays so clearly in my mind. The night that they came here. The night that my life might as well have ended, for most of the joy I had was sucked away from me. I was fast asleep in my bed, locked away in a dreamless sleep, when my mother frantically tried to wake me up. I could feel her strained hands trying to shake me awake. I sat up and opened my eyes only to see fear present in her face. "Mother?" I had asked her as I tried to regain my senses from my sleep. "What is it? What's wrong?" I asked more urgently, starting to slowly awaken and realize just what was going on. From outside my window I could hear screams and shouts of people, the sounds of guns being firing, and vicious sobs. "There is no time." My mother said. "You have to leave." She said frantically as she practically pulled me from my bed. She forced my bow into my hands and strung the leather strap of my quiver over my shoulder. "Go." She said as she started to push me out the door of my room. "Mother what's going on?" I asked but she refused to tell me. "There is no time. You need to leave. Run as far as you can and do not stop." and with that, just as abruptly as she came she left. I did as she told me, taking the only possessions I had and running as far away as I possibly could. I was later told that all of the found royals of our tribe were lined up and assassinated one by one. I couldn't believe my parents were so mercilessly killed. Even still, there was a bounty on my head placed by the same murderers that killed my parents, The First Order. But that did not stop me from forming a rebellion and fighting this vicious group of people wherever I could in the Northern tribe. We call ourselves The Queen's Rebellion and we will fight the First Order wherever they are whenever we can.

-Artemis Fysalides of the Northern Tribe of Statera

"What was once the Northern Tribe of Statera is now the property of the First Order." A Fierce and probably cold, General Hux shouted to the remaining citizens of the Northern Tribe of Statera. "What was once your Northern Tribe is now The City of Secundum. It will be established this day in history by the First Order." Artemis scoffed. Ever since the First Order had invaded they had brought nothing but conformity, secrecy, and just plain communism. People stood in line for food, housing was taken and given to others just so two dozen total strangers could live in two small rooms. The First Order had promised them freedom and equality, Artemis wondered how they could pull such things from the murders of her parents and the destruction of her home. Only fools believed they could make something great from nothing at all. "They can call it Secundum but it will always be the Northern Tribe That they demolished. Different name, same empty stomachs." She grumbled to herself. "Hey!" A sudden voice shouted and Artemis looked up to see two stormtroopers approaching her. "Aren't you that princess with the bounty?" One asked, the other scoffed. "Of course that's her! Grab her, you idiot!" Artemis reacted quickly, loading an arrow into her bow and firing it at the two, knocking one over and she fired another one which shattered the glass in the visor of the other's helmet. He shouted in pain as he quickly tried to pull the arrow from his skin. Artemis, however, did not hesitate to run off. She pulled a small metallic ball from a satchel that hung from her waist and she dropped it to the ground, creating a cloud of smoke. "Get her!" One of the stormtroopers yelled but before they could find her, Artemis had vanished in a puff of smoke.
