Skywalker Mansion

[Anakin Skywalker]

Well it happened this morning, when I was making my way into the kitchen. As for what caused it, no I don't know. Though I wish I knew.

- He said his tone disappointed. He hugs her back. -

To tell you the truth, I'm still shocked. I haven't even thought about it. I mean I already contacted the Jedi and they told me not to worry about her. But you know how the Jedi are.

- He rolls his eyes annoyed that he got that response from the Jedi. Even during his days as a Jedi he never did understand why they took things so calmly. Never did take immediate action in cases such as this one.-

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywalme wants to roll her eyes to in response she knows exactly what Anakin means about the Jedi but doesn't think that will help at the moment.

She thinks a moment then frowns.*

It just happened.
Maybe they don't know yet.
They might not want appear stupid because they don't know.
That would be very like them.
So what do you want to do?

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Anakin chuckles a bit. He couldn't hold it back.-

I guess that we will have to play it by ear. I mean unless it's alright with them that I visit. But you know how they make a big deal about things. That's still not going to keep me from making sure that she is alright.

- Charles walks in.-

Charles: Please excuse me, but it seems that Lady Ywalme has a message from Dathomir.

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywalme smiles a little at making Anakin laugh.
She is hoping he is feeling a bit better.

When he says that might not let him visit Cait, Ywalme looks fierce.*

They better let us see her.
She is our friend too.


*When Charles come in and says she has a message from Dathomir, Ywalme looks startled.*

Thank you Charles.
Did they say what it is about?

[Anakin Skywalker]

I'm sure we can work something out with them.

Charles: I'm sorry Milady I don't. The message is waiting for you at the office.

- Anakin looked at Ywalme's startled expression. He knew that Dathomir is where her family lives. He wondered if everything was alright.-

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywalme nods*


I hope you are right dear.

Well they better if they know what's good for them.

*To Charles*

Thank you Charles.
I will take a look at it right now.
I hope nothing is wrong at home.

Excuse me dear.


*Ywalme walks to the office to listen to the message.*

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Charles nods and moves so that he could let Ywalme walk upstairs. -

- When Anakin hears Ywalme say I hope everything is ok he cringes. He had a very bad feeling about this. -

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywalme walks into the office and a switches on the com unit to retrieve her message.

The image of Ywalme's grandmother, the village elder of Ywalme's home village appears.
Her face is lined with worry.*

Ywalme, my child I hope you receive this message soon.
Several villages have been hit by some sort of plague.
We first noticed it when the Burra fish in the river started dying.
We have been able to cope so far but if things continue as they have been the whole planet could be affected.
The situation is here becoming dire.
Something needs to be done quickly.

Can you let the Empire know of the situation?
And ask them for help?
We need them to take charge of this situation.
This beyond our knowledge.
We have able to slow it down but not stop it.
We have faith in you child but please hurry.
Our blessings and Allaya's upon you.

*The image fades as the message ends.

Ywalme stares at first in shock then hurries out of the room yelling for Charles as she runs to the master bedroom to begin packing.*

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Anakin sat on the couch for what felt like hours. Though it was only a few minutes.-

- Charles looked at Anakin.-

Charles : What is it my lord?

- Anakin looked up.-

Anakin : I have a very bad feeling about this.

- Right on que Ywalme's scream for Charles was heard through out the house. Anakin got up quickly and went running upstairs to the office. Charles following behind. Anakin saw that she wasn't at the office and went to the masterbedroom, where he found her there packing. -

Ywalme, what's worng?

- Charles entered the room and asked the same question.

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

*Ywalme looks up from her packing to answer them.*

The message was from my grandmother.
She is one of the village elders of the Spider Clan.
There is some sort of plague spreading on Dathomir.
She asked for my and the Empire's help.

I need to contact the Senate and then leave for Dathomir.
What ever is going on I don't think it is natural.
If it was the Nightsisters would have been able to detect what is causing it and have stopped it.
That they haven't been able to tells me the source is not from Dathomir.

*She slams the small travel case shut.*

I need to go.

*She kisses Anakin and starts to walk out the door.*

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Anakin heard all that was going wrong at Dathomir. He looks at the travel case, he knew they would have to go.-

Hold on a minute.

- He said trying to gather his thoughts. Then quickly goes into the closet and packs. He grabs everything that he thinks they will need. Then he closes his case and walks over to Ywalme. -

Charles: Oh my, that is unfortunate. I'm very sorry to hear that Mi'lady.

- While Charles talks Anakin gets his suitcase and Ywalme's and goes outside of the manor to where they have their ship. He starts to load everything in, then he goes back upstairs.-

Ok the ship is ready milady.

- He said as he held his hand out for Ywalme to take.
He was sending calming thoughts at the same time to Ywalme so she wouldn't get stressed.-

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

You are coming with me dear?

*Ywalme looks a little relieved that he is coming with her.
Then to Charles when he takes their luggage and says the ship is ready.*

Thank you Charles.

I don't need to tell you to look after things while we are away because I know you will.

Oh I think I better bring Bill with us.
He might be needed.

*Ywalme starts to walk downstairs to fetch Bill then go to the ship.*

[Anakin Skywalker]

You didn't think you were going alone did you?
- He said as he put on his best smile.-

Ok I'll go get Taroth also, meet you at the ship.

Charles: Yes milady you don't need to worry.

Anakin : Thanks.


- He went over to where they kept the pets and took Taroth out. -

Anakin : Common Taroth we going to Dathomir.

- The dragon nodded and walked along side Anakin. All the way to the ship. They walked on board where Ywalme and Bill are. -

Alright let's get out of here.

- Anakin grabbed the controls and set the corse for Dathomir.-

[Anakin Skywalker]

- Anakin enters the mansion, it was good to be back home. He walks upstairs and then enters the master bedroom. -

[Ywalme Burz-Skywalker]

Charles after receiving a message from Ywalme sending someone to pick her up and arrange for Bill to be taken back to the mansion. A short time Ywalme arrives at the mansion.

Charles, where is My Lord Anakin?

Welcome My Lady we have missed you.
I'm sorry My Lady he is not here he was on Carratos the last I heard. Charles is unaware that Anakin had return being on holo-phone with the chauffeur at the time.

Ywalme sighs. Alright thank you Charles. I will go lie down for awhile.

Yes, My Lady.

Ywalme goes upstairs to take a shower and walks into the master bedroom and nearly runs into Anakin.

Anakin! I thought you were on Carratos. I have missed you. She hugs him pleased to see him.
