Poll Pinup: Amidala Beckons (Patreon)

Finding their love to be a 'Distraction' to his apprentice-to-be, Palpatine sought the aid of a Dathomiri Witch, one who specialized in poisons that manipulated the mind and body of its victims. 

Queen Amidala found no reason to distrust her dear colleague, nor the wine he offered in toast to their recent successes in the Senate to help capture slavers and free Togrutas who had been taken from Shili in raids. She was disappointed that Anakin's padawan was unable to join them, as Ahsoka Tano had been integral in the negotiations and subsequent capture of scores of slavers... However, as she finished her glass of wine, she tied her fate to Ahsoka, as both had drank the same wine and would soon find themselves spirited away to a new Master. One the Togruta sisters would love unconditionally until they were traded again.
