Chapter 41<\/h2>\n

\u201cI have a destination for you, Captain Shaw.\u201d Lenore spouted with a formality that seemed instantly insulting to him. \u201cIf you would be so kind as to set sail for Aedom Isle. I have contacts there with the forces necessary to launch a counteroffensive against that Fortress. They will have the money you\u2019re owed for rescuing me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPrincess,\u201d Shaw said with a nod before turning and preparing to set sail. Wendy would have to sleep a little longer, so they\u2019d have to sail the traditional way. \u201cJim, lend me a hand?\u201d It sounded like a question, but was more of a polite command.<\/p>\n

Jim hesitated for a moment, then left to help Shaw. Lucy smiled weakly at him before he departed; that smile did not go unnoticed by Lenore.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a good kid.\u201d Lenore confided in Lucy. \u201cI may never forgive myself for what I put him through. I miss the sound of his voice. Were I him, I would hate me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t hate you. Everything he\u2019s done, he\u2019s done for you.\u201d Lucy pleaded, hoping Lenore would understand.<\/p>\n

Lenore favored Lucy with a small, understanding grin. The enormity of the world around them weighed heavily on Lenore\u2019s shoulders, and it showed in her eyes. <\/p>\n

Then she changed the subject.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy wasn\u2019t Master Go the one to come rescue me? Where was he?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure. He said he had to find something. It all happened so fast\u2026 Cecil went with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should talk to Cecil.\u201d She decided.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone wants to talk to me? It has been a long time since anyone\u2019s said that.\u201d Cecil whispered.<\/p>\n

Lucy blushed slightly for her less than kind attitude towards Cecil, but remembered what he did to garner that attitude and the embarrassment vanished as quickly as it appeared.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Cecil. I need you to tell me everything that happened between you and Master Go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cecil relayed in superfluous detail the events that transpired from his own point of view. He paraphrased the words of Go describing the Red Stone they found in the bowels of the Fortress. Then he let slip the detail that he recognized Lady Evelyn before she began her fight with Go. He tried to continue his story with how he met up with Shaw and Wendy to rescue the girls from the prison cell, but the cat was out of the bag.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know Lady Evelyn?\u201d Lenore wasn\u2019t really asking.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh\u2026 did I say that? I- I must have misspoke\u2026\u201d Cecil scrambled to cover his faux pas, but the glares the girls gave him forced him to accept the truth of his situation. He was caught and there was no getting out of it.<\/p>\n

He began his story slowly. \u201cI my service to the Lady Evelyn began long ago. She was different then. She was human. She was kind.\u201d Cecil felt physically ill as he expounded upon his experiences. \u201cThere was always this sadness behind her smile. Something ate away at her from the inside. I never knew what it was. She was loved, adored, but nevertheless, she was lonely. <\/p>\n

\u201cThen, one day, something inside of her changed. Her sadness vanished, but her smile disappeared with it. In it\u2019s place was an insatiable cruelty. I watched as she would torture my friends and fellow servants\u2026 for fun. She wasn\u2019t angry with them, she didn\u2019t hate them\u2026 She was practicing; perfecting the art of inflicting suffering on others. Their lives stopped having any meaning to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day, she seemed to experience a flash of remorse. My number was up, but rather than put a long, painful end to me, she banished me, and sold me into slavery. Whatever caused her to feel that moment of compassion, I owe my life to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading<\/h3>\n

You may be wondering just why I seem to be putting in so much effort into this work of fiction. You might be thinking to yourself, \u201cIt seems original enough, why spoil it with content you\u2019ll never be able to publish?\u201d I assure you, none of this effort is wasted.<\/p>\n

I dream of one day running an animation studio where I can produce original content and share my stories with the world. I\u2019ve put a lot of work already into the stories and techniques we\u2019ll be producing. In fact, the only hurdle in our way now is financing it.<\/p>\n

In order for me to support the Rewriting Star Wars project, as well as the future projects my colleagues and I will be producing, I have joined a blogging community<\/a> which allows me to create income in writing, copy, and marketing by using a simple 3-step system as I make my way toward accomplishing my vision.<\/p>\n
