Ep I Ch 10

1I looked back at Theed, and contemplated my life here on Naboo. If there was more to life than these simple planets; Naboo, Tatooine, Hoth, and Coruscant; then I would drive myself to know more. 2I asked her, “What is like like as a god, otherwise?”

3She shrugged, hanging her hand on her knees. “For me? Extraordinary, I like to think. But the others must be so stressed. They live in the Evermore with normal lives, but I haven’t entered yet. One day, I will. That’s a guarantee, as far as I know.

4“The gods born there are to serve their life purposes in any means they wish, looking for good ways they can use energy, and serve it to the humans. 5The humans go about their everyday lives, serves multitudes of energy back to the gods. I, myself, receive both these energies. The only way I’m sure of this is that I get constant earaches. It doesn’t matter what I do to cure it.

6“I wonder if the others feel the same about this energy imbalance? In this way, I think that’s why random pregnancies happen in the Evermore.”

7“After all you’ve said, I don’t think I want to be pregnant,” I said. “I would rather have a traditional marriage, where the woman carries.”

8“Suit yourself,” Æzr said, grinning. “I respect your decision. But perhaps, next time, let your heart decide?” 9She got up and and walked away, fading into the night.

Before I knew it, Qui-Gon Jinn reappeared, and sat beside me on the other side that Æzr did. 10“So, while I was gone, what did you learn about the… ‘water scrying’?”

11I answered, “That I want to be a man. And, that I should never come on to a woman worth marriage and pain.”
