SIEGE /siːdʒ/
a military operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building, cutting off essential supplies, with the aim of compelling those inside to surrender.

****

Three people-two women and an old man-were left in the middle of a desert as a punishment for a grave crime each of them committed against the kingdom of Akkadiyah. However, the youngest of them, Salwa, woke up in the desert unable to recall the memory of her previous years. She had no idea why she was banished by a foreign kingdom, except for a key in her pocket that could solve the mystery.

They wandered through the desert, learned how to survive in the harsh weather, befriended the Bedouins, and eventually reached the nearest living city with the help of a camel driver. Pieces of memory started to return to Salwa as they ran into a group of warriors defending the city from the same tyrant that banished them.

As Salwa's memories began to clear the fog in her mind, she began to grow suspicious of her two companions. However, there was one thing they agreed on: to rise stronger than before and make the tyrant regret ever banishing them.

Based on Prompt 20 from Open Novella Contest 2024.

The plot of Anastasia but with Clone Wars Characters Duchess Enasti Amidala was the adopted daughter of Senator Padme Amidala and beloved Duchess of Naboo. The young Duchess had big dreams for her little corner of the galaxy for after the war. Unfortunately, those dreams would never fly out of Coruscant. During the Siege of Coruscant when Order 66 was briefly in act, Enasti was lost and though the Senator searched far and wide, she could not find her dear Enasti anywhere. ~~ Meanwhile, in the wreckage of the siege, a young lady named Elya is trying to discover where she belongs and finds herself on a journey to Naboo. With the help of two clone brothers who survived the siege (one of whom knows an extraordinary amount about the missing Duchess), a mysterious necklace, and all the courage she can muster, read to find out how Elya navigates through a galaxy in the wraps of rebirth in a quest to find her home. ~~ Tremendous thanks to my very lovely editor, the insanely talented @GlazzyGlaz.
