     TRAGIC SOULS that aren't supposed to meet somehow always find their way to each-other.

     Not even the gods above could change the fate of Zora Palpatine. She is a girl destined for misery and a tragic ending. The stars look to her in empathy, as they can only watch the downfall of her soul. Zora Is a woman marked for sorrow. A life who bargained to be free from the chains of her own father. But Sheev Palpatine has other plans. He knows the future, and he knows the past. Zora Palpatine is merely a puppet in his game, aware of the scheming plots, but unaware of her demise.

     The cosmos hear her pleads to the moons of Vormia every night, as she begs to be taken with them. Her eyes droop as the sun awakens, and now she is truly not alone with her cries. The twilight soothes her as she falls asleep underneath the constellations. But as the moon fades every dawn, she is brought back with her ruination, the days go by like a script. Zora Palpatine as to fall.

     Anakin Skywalker was meant to fall as well. He is the sun. The sun and the moon fades to let each other shine, but unbeknownst to them, they are puppets to the skies. He senses his agony, HIS demise. He feels it rising, every hour, and every minute. But with every second, he is a step closer to the edge. Anakin Skywalker stands at the summit, with no where to go, only to fall; to break. Somewhere in a haze, the two meant to be apart are pulled together.

     TWO PUPPETS ON A STRING! Characters in a tragedy. That is solemnly who Anakin Skywalker and Zora Palpatine are. It's in their blood, sewed into her minds. Although they can feel each other slipping away, all they can do is pull back to each of their hearts.

THEN WE CAME FORTH, TO SEE AGAIN THE STARS

PURE AND PREPARED TO RISE UP TO THE STARS

THE LOVE THAT MOVES THE SUN AND ALL THE OTHER STARS.

— Dante Alighieri

✶ disclaimer !
Sadly, I do not own Star Wars! All credits go to the wonderful George Lucas for creating this spectacular universe. However, I in-fact do own Zora, and any other oc's that make an appearance in this fanfic. I also own their plots/names and any graphics, besides the ones with the given credit. Please do not take anything from this fanfic, I do not mind if you PM me asking to maybe make a series with this! But please always pm first. Thank you.

✶ warnings !
This fanfic, alongside many other books I create, has very tragic topics. And this story will not end in a happy ending (don't hate me guys 💔) but there is violence, mentions of blood, character death, family issues, and several others that will be added as this book goes on. Please read at your own discretion.

✶ authors note

hey... welcome to my 3rd Anakin fic (yayyy...!) I'm addicted to making fics for him because I get so many ideas and I want to use to many face-claims that I have in my face-claims board on pinterest 😭😭 (emma darcy, natalie dormer, alicia agneson i'm coming for y'all...) And since I love to make tragic star wars books, I just needed to make another! So with that, let me just tell you guys about this fic...

Okay so yes Zora is a palpatine(ik ik it's so typical BUT trust I have a solid plot rn.) And Sheev is like the worst dad ever (cmon we knew this already since he's literally the dusty crusty emperor.) I just really love Zora because she's similar to her dad but she's also the complete opposite. She's more like her mother (which we will meet later!!) Zora doesn't want to like destroy the galaxy like her dad does?? 🤔🤔 BUT, she does share his compassion and ability to lead. Zora is going to be very sweet, right up until ROTS, that's where everything really does go downhill because she notices what her father is really doing. Zora knows that he isn't a good person in ATOC, but she finally sees the plot to destroy the jedi in the end of the Clone Wars and she clearly doesn't want that because her mother was very peaceful and calm. I'm super excited for y'all to hear the backstory I have for her family (even tho she's a palpatine, I MUST add some lore because I'm extra...)

MOVING ON GUYS.

I'm excited for Ani and Zora too, I feel like they are just going to bond so well during ATOC cause they are literally babies. Like they are actually babies in ATOC. IM NOT READY TO HURT THEM GUYS STOP ME NOW 🙁🙁🙁 They are so Coney Island by Taylor Swift. and y'all are gonna hate me for what I have in store for Zora 🫠🫠  If y'all want me to explain how I relate them to some of my fav songs, let me know cause I can go on and on about that for hours. Anyways, I'll stop yapping now guys. I hope you enjoy Tragic Souls and I hope it doesn't actually make you guys cry (it will...) 🙈 BYE MWAH MWAH
