3 Choosing The Home

Father has tasked me with finding a good home for Amor. He needs to be in a place where his force powers won't be drawn out. His lifespan causes a problem, though since he is birthed from Abeloth, he will live forever. He could still be killed, but time holds no consequence to him—a place where his power won't be provoked. There are many choices, and the more isolated from the republic and empire, the better. So that leaves Hutt space. Hutt space is too dangerous for him to grow up in, and that will bring out his dormant power.

This is harder than I thought. I could choose a poor family in a rich world. Alderaan fits that, but Jedi and sith forces are battling in that place. Perhaps being in a single location isn't the solution. Smugglers and bounty hunters are always on the move, but that leads back to a bad place to be exposed to. We can't keep him here, or the balance on Mortis will be destroyed. I can't seem to find a good solution. In the end, my decision will determine whether he awakens his powers or not, and while it's not a bad thing that happens, it's not good either.

He could end up being taken in by the Jedi or sith if exposed. That is something that cant happen, his power cant be controlled like the Jedi, and sith would want. So I'm back to square one. This is truly a paradoxical situation. I end up right back where I started. Perhaps I should consider neutral planets. This wartime makes it to where there are no neutral planets. The outer rim is a possibility, but those are rough environments. Tatooine fits the needs, but that place holds a high risk. There are sith and Jedi present there.

I look down at Amor and see him looking at me with deep blue eyes. He then gives me a toothless smile. This is one active newborn, I gently look into his mind, and I don't see anything that would suggest he is smarter than I would think. I come out of his mind and carry him like my own child. I can see why Mother was prepared to die for the baby. I can already feel myself growing fond of him. I need fresh ideas on what I should do with Amor, and Father is the person to ask. He might know a way out of this paradox.

I make my way to the meditation chamber with Amor in hand. I hear yelling the closer I get. I reach the door and open it. Father and Brother are fighting again. Probably about the boy. I enter the room as they continue to argue. I sit in my spot and begin to meditate as they fight about Amor. "He could prove to be our ticket into the galaxy. Under our guidance, the war will end, and a new era of peace will reign." My Brother trying to sway Father like that won't work in a thousand years. It's already been around 97,000. Father shakes his head in disapproval, and that makes my Brother mad.

He desires freedom from Mortis, but beings like us can't have authority over the rest of them. Amor can't stay here despite his power. The balance would be broken, and Mortis will die, and he cant stay with Abeloth because once fully grown, they would breakout. "You have learned nothing, my Son. We cannot have any presence in the galaxy. We would bring ruin and devastation. I hope that you open your eyes to that one day." With those words, Brother storms out of the meditation chamber and turned into his avatar. He flies off with a screech.

Father looks over to me and sees Amor. He walks over and lifts him out of my arms, and holds him gently. "I take it you are having a hard time finding a proper place for the boy. The war is causing many problems, and now you are stuck." He knows exactly why I have come. Knowing Father, he has already put thought into this as well. "This war only stands to get worse. It is only just the beginning. Now that the sith have re-taken Korriban, their next target will be the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Finding him a home away from those worlds would be the best first step." I agree, but all planets will be sucked into this conflict soon. He would be discovered before long.

Perhaps somewhere in Hutt space is the best option, but those Hutts are cruel. Their worlds even more so. It seems like Tatooine is the only option. It's currently of unimportance compared to other plants. There is a presence from both sides, though. "I'll search through Tatooine with the force until I find the perfect family. I'm not confident in Tatooine, but he'll be safe there till the war fully reaches the world." Father nods his head in approval. I'm trying to make the best decision, with every option being bad. I get up from my spot and head to my personal chamber. I lay on the bed now that Father is taking care of Amor right now. I need to start my search. As the Daughter starts looking through Tatooine with the force, the Father is looking after Amor until Daughter is ready to leave.

I can clearly feel the power in the boy. The Jedi and sith will be able to find him too if they look hard enough, but he'll be safe. Jedi and sith will be too focused on the war to look on Tatooine for him. The only way they could find him on Tatooine is if someone really knew who they were looking for. I look at Amor and see him looking around the environment. Nothing other than cold stone here, so I should take him to see the outside. Mortis is a beautiful world. I head outside, and I watch him take in every sight and sense. A butterfly comes by and lands on his hand. He looks at it, confused. I blow it away with my breath and continue walking. I sense that Daughter is coming to me. She must have found the family.

We wait by the steady stream of water and enjoy the fresh air. "I have found the family suitable for him. They are isolated farmers away from any trouble. I'm prepared to leave now. Is it okay if I take the stealth ship?" I nod my head, yes, and I use the force to float Amor into Daughters hands. She turns around and makes her way to the stealth fighter. I leave it in her hands now. As Father watches the scenery. The Daughter is boarding the ship with Amor in hand.

I board the ship and hold Amor as I input the commands. The engines turn on, and I set the destination to Tatooine. It should only take a day to get there. In that time, I'll be meditating on Amor's future. Hopefully, I can see things that I can prevent. We make it to orbit and enter hyperspace. I sit down with Amor in my lap, and I close my eyes and meditate.
