All around me, the storm is laying low the skyscrapers of Coruscant, turning Galactic City into a ruin. As if the battle with the Mandalorians wasn’t enough. My personal speeder returns to the hotel and lands on an unoccupied landing pad. I jump out and run towards the building, just in time to see Korre being led out by Hunter. “Korre!”

“Mi’lady!” I should, waving with my free hand. “Thank the stars you’re alright! I was worried...”

“Forget worrying for me!” I say, pulling her and Val into a hug. Hunter stays respectfully back while I do so. “You need to go now, Korre. This storm isn’t going to stop.”

“My ship is nearby. We can all make it if we hurry.”

I look up at the ships already trying to escape, but are easily struck by lightning and sent crashing. “No... we can’t make it.” I look at Korre, then at little Valkorion. “I think.... I think this is where we part ways.”

“What? What are you talking about?” My eyes fill with fear. “Come on! We have to go together!”

“No, I... I think I’ll stay.” I caress her cheek. “I’ can’t hold onto you anymore. You need to go, and don’t look back at me. Go to Dantooine, like we planned. The Twilights can protect you far better than I could.” I run my fingers through Val’s dark hair and give Korre a kiss on the cheek. I then turn to Hunter. “Get then out of here, please.”

I nod, taking Korre’s arm. “Come on, Miss.”

Tears well in my eyes as Hunter takes me away towards his ship. I look back over my shoulder at Xan as I go. I want to stay, but I know that Val needs to be somewhere safe, so I go.

I watch Korre go for a few moments before I turn towards the hotel and begin to walk. While everyone is spilling out, I am the only one who is heading inside.

After finding that Korre’s room is empty, I began searching the halls for her and her son. Most of the people are gone now, so I have an easier time getting about. Pulling out my comm, I call her and ask her where she is. When she tells me she’s safe with Hunter, I breath a sigh of relief, but her revelation about Xan staying behind surprises me. “What does she think she’s doing?!”
