The Valkyrie (Obi-Wan x OC) completed

Chapter 29: Doctor knows best

Above the inspiration for Aidan! Sadly no fluff in this part, but there will be soon I promise!

"I will kill Obi-Wan." As I walked towards the hospital wing of the castle my brother's voice echoed through my head. "Because father lied to us!" His menacing voice spoiled the inevitable truth. As much as it hurt, I knew he was right. Father had tried to shield us from everything going on outside the castle, shield us from the plot that was boiling in the city itself. More and more I began to understand why my uncle had decided to plan the invasion now.

With a deep sigh I opened the door to the all too familair hospital wing and was greeted by an overcrowded waiting room filled with chaos. People were running around frantically, mothers going after their crying children and your usual stressed out spouse yelling at the nurses. When I spotted one of the nurses I called her name. "Ellen! Do you know where Adelaide is? I suspect I was called by her?"

"Val'Kyr!" Her face lit up when she saw me walking through the doors. She stood up from her chair and ran towards me. "It's so good to see you, we've been doing everything we can but the refugees keep coming and coming." Her eyes were filled with exhaustion, but they were still determined to keep going. "Here, I will show you where Adelaide is and then we'll discuss everything." She handed me one of the white overalls.

"Refugees?" I frowned, turning my full attention towards her as I put on the garment and tied my hair up.

"Yes, refugees, from the war." Her eyebrows slightly knotted together as she guided me through the halls. "Even though it hasn't begun yet, they keep on coming. I don't blame them though, when I heard Arthas Blackwing was back I immediately made sure my family was safe behind these walls."

"That doesn't explain why they're here." I glanced through the numerous doors we walked by and saw each of them filled with patients covered in bandages. They surely didn't look good. If you'd asked me, I would've thought there was a battle still going on.

"It's because of the rebellions on the streets." Ellen said, sighing deeply. "Now that a few days has gone by since the kings... Your father's death, people have been rilling up."

"But why? What do they want?" I frowned as I collected the medicine I needed. The patient I was going to see was an all too familiar one.

"Well, the jedi's head for an instance." Ellen leaned against the doorpost as she watched me work. "Secondly they're still not happy with the Stormrage dynasty. They still clasp to the Fireheart ideals, the hatred for every race other than ours, honor, war." She paused for a moment as she looked at me sadly. "They respected your father so they didn't do anything, but now that he's gone..."

"They rebel." I finished her sentence as I filled a syringe with the medicine I had just mixed. "Here, check this for me, will you?"

"Pancreatin 50 mg, you got it." She watched me warily as I nodded. When I walked past her and towards the room I knew my patient would be in, she followed me slowly. I could almost feel the words that she was dying to speak. "What if your brother... What if you could convince him to-"

"Just say it, Ellen." I sighed before entering the room, looking her right in her eyes.

"He needs to excecute the jedi." She crossed her arms before her chest and looked at me, her eyes big and filled with sympathy. "Maybe that way the people will finally calm down."

"You really want him to kill the people who saved us? Who helped us discover Derik's plan, who fought against Arthas Blackwing? Who sacrificed more troops than we ourselfs did?" My eyes flared with anger, my fists balling at my sides. Ellen didn't say anything, she just stared back as she realised my position on the matter. "I am not going to convince him to do that, Ellen. It's against everything I stand for."
