"Now I understand you are the leader of the Queen's Rebellion?" Leia asked as she welcomed Poe's return to the resistance base. She was not informed that Poe would be bringing people back with him but she did not mind. It meant more helping hands for the resistance in the end and that was good enough for her. She stood in front of Artemis at the moment. She analyzed the young woman and even smiled a bit. She reminded her of herself. A young princess fighting against galactic oppressors who have come for the safety of her home. A hero through and through. Artemis nodded at her words. "Yes ma'am." She told her with the most respect she could muster at that time. Leia smiled wider at her. "The resistance welcomes  you, Princess Artemis of Statera." Artemis smiled back at the General humbly. "Please, just Artemis is fine. I am no princess anymore." Leia shook her head, still smiling softly. "Being a princess is more then just a political title. It's about your spirit, and you my dear have the spirit of not only a princess, but a true queen."

As soon as the group landed at the base Amphitrite took to healing Dimitri s wounds. She had Poe lay the young man down in a nearby shallow body of water. He had heard of Amphitrite's abilities but he, nor Dimitri, had seen her at work before now. Amphitrite got into the water with him and placed her hands into the cool liquid. She pressed her hands gently against his wounds and Dimitri winced. "Sorry..." Amphitrite said softly. In a moment her fingers began to glow softly and a cooling sensation filled the area of Dimitri's wounds. Amphitrite took her time, making sure each wound was carefully cleaned and healed. "There." She said once the last one was completely healed. Dimitri stood slowly and looked down at where his clothing had been torn where the wounds used to be. "Woah..." He said softly. "That's an amazing gift you have there... thank you." Amphitrite smiled softly. "Of course." "He's right." Another voice came from behind them. "You do have an amazing gift." Amphrite's eyes widened as she looked up at General Organa. "General," She said with a polite bow of her head. Leia chuckled. "There is no need for such formalities." She told the girl. "Come with me. I believe we have quite a bit to talk about."

"You must be the elemental I have hear much about." Leia said as she walked with the young girl. "I suppose that's me." Amphitrite said with a small smile. "It is nice to meet the girl who my son has been so infatuated with." Amphitrite's eyes widened. "Your son?" She asked before it finally clicked in her mind what she meant and who exactly the General of the resistance actually was. "You're princess Leia! Wife of Han Solo and mother to Ben Solo!" Amphitrite nearly shouted as realization washed over her expression. "Yes." Leia said softly. "Yes I am." "It is an honor, your highness." Amphitrite said as she addressed the woman properly and leia couldn't help but giggle. "Oh dear, no. It's general now, not princess or your highness." Leia replied kindly as she took her hand in hers. "And another thing," Her brown eyes glistened as they looked up at her. "It is an honor to meet you, the woman who has been the only light to my son. The only hope." Amphitrite smiled and shook her head humbly. "I just have one question," Leia added. "Is there any hope left for my son?" The question stung even though Leia didn't mean for it to. Amphitrite thought about Kylo. She thought about the gruesome things he had done, the people he had killed. But she also thought about the emotion in his heart that he harbored for her. The way he would hold her when they slept, the passion behind his comforting her. And above all, the fact that he had let her and the others escape when he could have killed them all. Amphitrite chewed her lip as she dwelled on these thoughts before finally replying to the woman. "Yes," She said softly. "There is."
