Chapter 4

"High Lady, Lord Vader..." the council greeted.
"I apologize for the delay, shall we begin?" you asked as you slid into your seat, looking up and staring at them with your gloved hands clasped together supporting your chin.
"Yes... budget-"
Cutting in, you spoke, "Budget isn't a problem, colonel. What's the problem is how bad your troops can be. Well technically, the Generals troops." turning your head to face Brendol, you gave a sarcastic smile.
The General got the memo, "I assure you the troopers are trained well. The program I've created is the best."
"Yet you fail us constantly. It almost seems to be on purpose yet it isn't. Disappointment..." Breathed Vader. Vader spoke like Snape, a Harry Potter character from a book people on earth enjoyed. The enunciation and nonchalance breathed the, "I couldn't care less" attitude. You smiled in your mind, you've always liked Snape, he was scary yes but only to his students. You liked bats, they were cute and Snape was a little bat. Vader's cape was similar to bat wings too.
Shaking your thoughts, you lifted your eyes back to the conversation.
"You have inquisitors, with all due respect sir, use them."
"Alaneth, tell the general what inquisitors do..."
Sensing that your brother has rolled his eyes for the 100th time today you responded, "Inquisitors off jedis. Your job- rather... The selected squadron of troopers job is to handle rebel scums. Not too hard not too easy. Don't make me have to follow along on a mission, not only will it be humiliating for you but it'll be a waste of my time. Crystal?" You asked, raising a brow or at least attempting to, you looked at Hux then towards the rest of the council.
Gritting his teeth, the General responded, "No. Who do you think you are anyway? You're not even from here then you come in strutting like as if you're all that powerful when all you are is a child with anger issues. Hm? You're nobody without the lord. You're just a small girl-"
Slamming the General backwards and having him pinned there then raising him up by his throat, Darth commands, "Enough! Silence that mouth of yours or I'll cut your tongue out."
"It's alright brother, I have it." You say in Vader's mind.
Using the force to bring him towards you and making him kneel, "No, you're right. I'd be nobody without my brother but he's here and so am I. I am the hierarchy. Do you understand the chain of command or do you need an explanation for that too hmm?" You say with your fingers running down his temple then forcefully holding his jaw with your hands. A sinister smile playing on your lips, you continue with one of the most calm and soothing voices, "Do not tempt my fury, General... unless you wish to see my wrath... and my anger issues as you mentioned. I promise you darling, you won't like it."
Your voice was that soothing, a threat would've sounded like a bedtime story. Oh well, the meeting is going nowhere.
"Continue this meeting if you'd like, I've said all there is to be said." With the quick turn of your heel, you left.
-
Changing into your armor you wore whenever you went on missions, Vader sits on the edge of your bed, "You know you don't have to go along. I can go instead-" "No, you have to stay here to boss people around, to make their lives hard. And I, have to follow along to assess, help get information and eliminate those rebels. " You say jokingly implying that he's needed here on the ship more than you are. Without fight, he nods knowing your mind can't be swayed easily. Walking over he grabs a brush to strangle your hair, "I believe this head of hair has broken about 20 combs and brushes now."
"Oh shut up, don't be jealous. If you want some, just ask, I'll gladly make a wig out of my hair for you! Even though I have no clue how to, I'm sure I could glue it together!" You said with an innocent, throat stinging from sweetness type of smile.
Grabbing your mask you looked at your brother giving him a last joke for the day, "Anyway I've got to get going or I'll hold everyone back, don't wait for me, make your own wig."
"Whatever, stop being mean. Nobody's going to see me without my mask anyway", Vader retorts, feigning hurt.
With the softest snort you could manage, you placed your mask over your head, "ding ding time to leave, it's going to be 1430 in five minutes and the hangar is like... a five minute run." Ah... yes you're always punctual but to be punctual you always had to run to your destination. With a wave, you left your room while Vader simply took a tape and your hair that fell onto the floor, sticking said hair to the tape. Yes, he was actually making a wig, for fun of course.
-
Taking big strides, you approached your ship.
Some people stopped to greet you, some people bowed but you never reciprocated it. Sometimes you would and sometimes you wouldn't and sometimes you can be a jerk.
"High lady", the squad leader nods.
"TN2865, everyone is accounted for I assume?"
"Yes ma'am"
Entering the command shuttle you responded, "Good, let's leave then". The trooper firmly nodded, following behind you.
Sitting in your seat, you thought of how people made wigs on earth and then on how to bake a cake but your thoughts changed course real quick when a vision flashed through your mind.
-
"Hello Alaneth."
Shaking your head lightly, you looked around seeing if whoever you saw was actually there on the ship with you. Standing up and going towards a private area you looked around ensuring no one was around before asking, "Hello? Are you... the guy from my brother and my vision from about a year and a half ago?"
"Correct, young one." A voice rang in your head, you couldn't see the figure you saw just recently anymore.
Deducing that this presence could be seen as and when he wanted, you didn't bother questioning.
"So... why are you here? Something to tell me?" You quipped.
"Yes. Now, I'm going to be dropping a huge bomb on you- not literally of course- but just sit down first, it'll be an hour or so before you land."
"Don't drag, just tell me whatever's so important that you couldn't tell me in my free time." You said enunciating the word, 'free'.
"Alright, no need to rush... you're an heiress, to your very own kingdom here in the world of gods. So now you know where your ability to control two elements comes from. And... well your kingdom has always been yours, you've always been their ruler and obviously you didn't know because I didn't tell you for you were still a child. Oh and I'm officially making you Queen now of course but there'll be no coronation whatsoever because that's unnecessary as you're just an entity like being in our world." Showing himself, Father says with a smile displayed on his face as if whatever he said was normal and happened on occasion.
"Well? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"I'm sorry, you expect me to know what to say- I mean... what the f-"
"AH TUT TUT no need for profanities!"
"Oh shut up. No. I'm not being Queen whatsoever. Sorry, I'm not the type of person who rejoices when they suddenly find out they're Queen of some sort."
"Dear, it wasn't a question but a claim." He says with a sympathetic smile.
"Don't dear me! I'm about to fight some annoying bastards and no you didn't just drop any bomb, YOU DROPPED A NUCLEAR BOMB RIGHT ON MY HEAD. I shouldn't have rushed you in fact I should've delayed you till I was BACK on the cruiser in MY BED ABOUT TO SLEEP. Don't ask me to calm down I can't calm down because this is such a what the fuck moment." You exclaimed but quickly looking towards the door hoping no one heard you.
"Dear I'm terribly sorry, whether you like it or not, you've always been Queen since birth-"
Letting out a shaky breath, you closed your eyes, "What about my parents, have they known the whole time? Are they even huma- No, am i even human? What are we hmm? Has my whole life been a lie?" Hoping your parents were really your parents because you really... god you really loved them, a lot.
"Yes! Yes of course they are humans. No they do not know but they are your parents! It's too complicated to explain what you are-"
"JUST... just tell me." You really need a big breath like right about now.
"Ohh... okay fine. Your life hasn't been a lie, just some information withheld because you were still a child. You're human of course but a god too. You're one of us as well. You're the goddess of destruction, ice and snow dear.
"Oh great and so now I'm some goddess too huh. Ice and snow is it? Funny... Am I supposed to be Elsa hmm?"
"I'm sorry but I do not quite understand."
"It's a joke... never mind. I'm distracted now so that's great." You said speaking of how in less than an hour you had to fight and being distracted was not going to be an option.
"I'm sorry dear I couldn't choose a better timing, I have no time at all after this. I hope you understand..."
Sighing, you closed your eyes, "who are you?"
"I'm just 'father' but I guess you could call me whatever you'd like."
"That would be fine I guess." That was all you said, not knowing what else to say.
"I'm sorry but I'm going to have to cut this short, I have yet to speak with your brother... Dear, your powers are not at its potential yet, it'll develop further and you'll thrive from it. The cryokinetic abilities will come if you allow it to be released from your heart. I suggest meditating to help get the distraction out of the way but if you need more assurance, your parents love you and they always have." Father says with a soft smile trying to calm you and your undying nerves.
"Are they safe? My parents..."
"Yes, yes they are."
You laid back, knowing they were safe eased you.
"Thank you, just promise me that you'll keep my parents safe, yes? If I can't be there then someone has to. And if it's ever possible, will you give them answers, tell them where I am. In fact, tell them everything, please."
"I will, I promise I'll keep safe and because it's possible, I promise I'll tell them everything. I'm afraid I have to leave now but if there's anything you need, just ask for guidance and I'll be there." With a curt smile, he vanishes.
Good lords, what the hell.
Standing up, you walked towards the toilet. Removing your mask, you placed it on a table and turned the tap on. Scooping hands full of water you splashed it on your face which caused you to gasp from its temperature. Ironic considering you were the goddess of ice and snow or something of the sort. What's in a sense hilarious was how 'father' reminds you so much of Aziraphale from the "good omens", a tv series on earth.
The shuttle shook, you were about to land.
