Anuvuin: episode #9 The Naboo Election and Owen’s birth
Part 1
Previously: The campaign was just held on Naboo for Senator. It looks pretty sure that the only possible winners will be either Palpatine or Sampson QuiQue. Darth Maul is worried that if Palpatine is elected, the Sith will not be able to carry out their plans. You have also learned a little about Dalben, the caretaker of Amidala. He has begun to study gwythaints. Jar Jar Binks has just been banished for his clumsiness.
Let’s go to the actual elections. Palpatine or QuiQue? It is now the next day, as you may have guessed. Palpatine waits patiently for the results of the election as people begin pouring in and out of the palace of Naboo. The Ruler of Naboo is always elected, but whoever it is still carries the title of King or Queen, and they do not pass down the throne to their children, it is all election. Anyway, the election was being held in the King/Queen Palace. A kind of old king happened to be the elected ruler at this time. Signs that read, “Vote for Palpatine” were all over the place.” QuiQue tried to top him. But, after everyone was done voting, everyone waited in anticipation for the results. The king called up the top 3 candidates (the third one is Kathy Jones), as it was always done, took the special Senator’s stick, as had also become a tradition, and said, “Well, it was a close call. All of the 3 candidates up here would have done a fine job, and I wish they could all be Senator, but there’s only room for one.” So, he raised the stick and prepared to throw it. He threw it…. and Palpatine caught it. “He won by one vote, beating Sampson QuiQue.” The king said this with a little smile. Palpatine smiled, also. “Here is Senator Palpatine.” After this little ceremony, Palpatine was the heard of a receiving line. As Darth Maul was passing, Palpatine turned to him and whispered, “told you things would work out.” At that moment, Darth Maul knew something; he understood completely, walking away much relieved. Senator Palpatine began acting as Senator right away, making frequent visits to Coruscant. Now, between Rhun’s birth to now has been over a period of time, a year. And Shmi is again pregnant. It turns out to be another boy. “What should we name him?” Summoner says, “I’m not good with names, you think up one.” So Shmi does, after a little while, she says, “How about Anakin Owen Skywalker?” “I don’t like the name Anakin. How about “Owen Anakin Skywalker?” “Fine,” says Shmi.
The following episodes will take place over a period of four years. I’ll let you know when this period of 4 years ends. All part one of Anuvuin is doing is setting the story up for the second part. But that’s what I’ve been doing all along: setting the story up for more.
Anyway, next time! There is a certain group that the Sith have set out to find: The Trade Federation. You will also learn more about the Sith’s plans.
Until next time!
