When Komari opened her eyes, she knew right away that she wasn't at the Jedi Temple. The walls of his room were far too ornate to match the standard of the temple.

  She moaned as she felt her head turn as she straightened up. She had to be honest, she had drunk way too much during the evening in the Senate. No one had paid attention to her alcohol consumption despite her age, lease and she had drunk glass after drink.

  Her head spinning way too much she went back to bed moaning, it was the last time she drank more than she should (no).

  Inwardly, she hoped she hadn't vomited on anyone, although the idea of repainting Master Windu's robes amused her.

  It was after a good 20 minutes of complaining inwardly about his misfortune that Komari decided to leave the bed. As she set her feet on the luxurious carpet, she noticed something that he alarmed.

  She was naked like a worm, these clothes were folded on a chair as if they had just been washed and ironed. His vibrator blade and the rest of his belongings rested in a pretty silver dome next to it.

  As she was getting dressed, a protocol droid entered the room.

  "Hello, I'm p 801 protocol droid of the Organa family. I see you're awake, did you sleep well? ?

  Komari hesitated to understand that she was at the Organa's house, without knowing the reason for her presence on the scene.

  "Where am I?" she asked as she approached a large window that looked out. Through her could see the towers it rose in the sky and the Senate not far away.

  "You are at the Organa Palace, the current place of resistance of the Serenissima Organa royal family. It is one of the 19 palaces that my put on coruscante. As for the reasons for your presence here, I invite you to ask the reason of my mistress the queen. The latter is waiting for you in the small living room. ?

  The small living room was badly named, this huge room with a large table about thirty meters long in the middle. Sitting at the end of this table was Mazicia Organa drinking a cup of coffee while observing the gardens through the bay window.

  Komari, I still didn't know how to react to this woman who seemed to have a strange interest in her. Even going so far as to oppose 2 members of the Jedi Council for a young girl she barely knew.

  To tell the truth, last night's evening had been particularly strange for Komari, she had met senators, a supreme chancellor, a queen, and a Sith lord in the space of a few hours. Quite a program.

  Noticing his presence, Mazicia Organa smiled and nodded at him.

  "yes well you're awake I expected you to wake up later given the amount of alcohol you drank Komari. I'm not sure it's healthy for a child your age to drink so much. ?

  "I think I let myself go indeed, I feel like my head is going to explode when it stops spinning," Komari complained as he sat down on a chair next to Mazicia.

  The queen's smile widened, and she slid a cup filled with a smelly brew in front of Komari.

  "Here, drink this, I had planned it for the lease but I think he will sleep in."

  Komari looked at the cup and then at the queen before returning to the cup that didn't inspire her at all, it seemed like she was condemned to drink disgusting things.

  "It's an anti-hangover, a legacy of the long tradition of drunken Organa parties. It is said in my family that during these evenings we were able to roll on the Sith and Jedi ground and that only the Organas were found fresh in the morning. Mazicia explained as she took a cup of her coffee before adding, "And for having abused these drunken evenings, I must admit that it's a disgusting beverage that works perfectly..." even if I will never get used to the fishy taste found behind it. ?.

  The queen hadn't lied, he said to himself Komari as he forced himself to swallow the foul brew, to be honest it was less ignoble than the rats they ate on nar shadda.

  The effect was almost immediate and she felt her headache subside quickly. A servant droid placed a cup of tea in front of her, which she swallowed in one gulp to make the taste of rotten fish pass under the queen's amused gaze.

  "Well thank you for this beverage..." now you will be able to explain to me, Your Highness, what I am doing here and why you support me so much. Komari asks "let's play fair, the first time you saw me you seemed to recognize me or something. But we never saw each other, but I felt something in the force as well. ?

  Mazicia Organa, queen of alderaan, hesitated before sighing to slump comfortably in her seat.

  "The reason for your presence here is that I have convinced the masters that it would be wiser for you to rest with us instead of being brought back to the temple dead drunk."

  This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

  "Convinced?" Komari wondered, raising an eyebrow that was visibly unconvinced.

  "Okay, I rather threatened and imposed the fact that you come back with us. With all due respect to the temple, a child like you is something they don't know how to handle. Moreover, I could see that Master Windu was totally distraught by the situation. ?

  "Of course I think he was afraid I was going to throw up on him," Komari joked as he imagined the scene.

  "Well, you had the decency to dirty only your clothes, which was not a big deal since they were already covered in blood. In any case, Master Yoda agreed that you should spend the night at the palace, he even sent roots this morning. From what I understand, you have to eat them. ?

  "Indeed the joy of having a disordered digestive system, I'm condemned to eat roots for a while," Komari complains dramatically, casting a comical glance at the plate of cake.

  But she quickly became serious again "as much for your sympathy and your understanding of the limits of order with problem children. This is to your credit, even if I suppose there is something else in your eagerness to help me. It doesn't explain your reaction the first time we saw each other or the strangeness in the strength I felt. ?

  As if she had just touched something important, the queen's face closed.

  "You're right, on the one hand, there is my indignation at the order and treatment of a young girl a few you. But there is also something else but I don't really know how to approach it. ?

  Komari can see in the queen's eyes and through the force the great hesitation of the latter. Then the queen heaved a deep sigh.

  "Since I was a little girl, I have intermittently had visions. Visions of the future, or rather possible futures. I have no control over these visions or their trigger, if they will come, I may not have a vision for years. The queen's hands began to clench.

  "For years I didn't have a vision until I saw a vision of one of my daughters. I had gotten into the habit of ignoring my visions and I ignored this one.... And every day I regret my choice. ?

  Komari didn't say anything, sensing the pain and sorrow of the queen, she understood that Baile didn't want to broach the subject with her last night. He had lost a sister, and the queen had lost a daughter. They understood this pain more than she would like.

  "Since then I haven't had any vision until a few years ago, I still find it hard to believe what I saw. The fall of the Republic, the fall of the Jedi, the rise of an empire, a civil war," the queen's voice became increasingly difficult to discern, "the destruction of alderaan."

  Komari inhaled to calm herself, she had seen in these visions return several times to scenes similar to what Mazicia Organa described. A moon-sized space station capable of exterminating entire worlds. Not that it was strategically or militarily very effective, but it remained a real threat in these visions.

  "Thus freedom is extinguished," Komari began, "to a shower of applause," Mazicia continued.

  The child and the queen looked at each other without saying a word, well aware of the moment he shared, the knowledge of the future. Not the knowledge of esoteric and fuzzy vision that other beings sensitive to the force could have. No real clear and precise vision of certain events.

  "And what does it have to do with me, Your Highness, because if I have to be honest with you," Komari stared at his green eyes, those of the queen, "I'm going to die long before that happens. I'm going to die before the fall of the Republic one way or another. And whatever I do in each of my visions, I suffer and I die. So I ask you again, how does this concern me? The Republic, the empire or anything else, it doesn't concern me, I'm dead anyway. ?

  Komari she was aware that her future was doomed anyway, she had always felt this mixture of nihilism and fatality. But that didn't stop him from trying by all means to forge his own destiny beyond the will of force. Yes, she would live every day as if it were the last day, yes, she would be depressed, she would love, she would hate and she would never let herself be done.

  But she was going to die.

  Mazicia Dégluti, she had seen the suffering that the child who stood in front of her would have to endure. No matter what futures she had seen in those visions, this child would suffer in one way or another.

  His destiny was suffering, was death. And the worst thing is that this child was aware of it and that she didn't let herself be totally defeated.

  During the evening, she had seen a good part of Komari's facets, fatality, hope, rage, anger and madness.

  "You are right in But vision indeed you die, you suffer. And this does not matter what the future holds, whether the Republic collapses, whether the Jedi order lives on, we die. Or that the separatists won. Delicately, she served Komari a cup of tea before pouring herself again.

  "But for a while now, my visions have been focused on you, I have seen through all realities the possible futures. Well, when you die and suffer, you fight. You're still fighting, against the Republic, against the Jedi, against the Sith, against the galaxy, but you're fighting. ?

  The queen paused again and looked into the distance, beyond the gardens on the other side of the bay window, beyond the horizon.

  "Whoever fights can lose, whoever doesn't fight has already lost Komari. Fate is not immutable, nor is force and I do not want to submit. The queen's gaze lit with impressive determination, "I refuse to see my monster destroyed by the arrogance of a little Sith who tries to compensate for his helplessness. I refuse to see the arrogance and myopia of the Jedi and the Senate threatening my family! ?.

  Then as quickly as her determination had appeared, she had said that she had been replaced by fear, a fear that Komari had been eating away at the queen for a long time. The latter did not know if it was possible to escape the fate she saw.

  "But I don't know if it's possible to escape it."

  It was Komari's turn to sigh, sigh with weariness.

  "Yes, fate is not immutable, you can escape it, even if I think I'm certain of my end, I'm going to die. But it is possible to challenge him. Look at me, I should have joined the Jedi order from a young age and yet I decided to stay with my family, I changed my destiny in part. Komari replied, spreading his arms.

  "I escaped the fatum but the fatum caught up with me and burned my world, so yes we can try to deflect fate, we can refuse to cry out, but I fear there is a price to pay." she joked, "I'm not even 8 years old, I see ghosts, I hear voices in my head, my nights are tempted by nightmares, I burn. ?

  she had on her face in totally crazy smile Mazicia can see in those fluorescent green eyes madness.

  "And you know what, Your Highness, even if I burn, even if I die, even if I suffer, I will do anything to escape the fatum. I will not let anything control my future even if it burns the galaxy. And if it leads me to my doom then either I had to die anyway might as well have fun. ?

  neither the queen nor Komari said anything, just looking into the distance, then the queen stood up and slowly approached the girl.

  "So, Komari, let's face this fate, let's fight for what we hold dear. No matter the cost, I refuse to give in, I have seen the consequences of the inaction of good people. Remember, Komari, the one who faces fate does not violate any law. ?

  she thinks that destiny catches up with her every time but if she sees various futures these are broad outlines like indications rather than immutable truths. what is your opinion
