~~~(POV: Nathen Opal)~~~
~~~(Location: Meditating, Dagobah)~~~
The breath enters and exits my mouth with heavy breaths as my screams end. I rock my dead mother in my arms and hold her. The pain rips through my body as I look at her tired and bloody face. She looks like she's asleep.
"DAMN IT!!!!! WHY!!?"
Another roar of power explodes from me, and tears through Ryloth. I can't hold back anymore. The floodgates of my power don't exist anymore. My eyes turn to my father's body, and I bring him into my arms too.
They suffered... Suffered too much just from knowing me... This is my fault... I'm the reason they're dead... If I were never in their lives, they'd still be alive and fine...
Here in my arms are the people that raised me... Loved me... Took care of me... Made sure I was safe... My parents... Are dead in my arms... Something inside me breaks... I don't know what I'd call it... Describe it...
The desire to hold back... To keep my power at bay...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
As I cry out for a final time. Ryloth cracks, and The Force the world once carried enters me. Everything across the entire planet begins to die, and I stand up. Carrying my mom and dad. I rush to my ship and launch off Ryloth.
I look at what's happening from outside my window, and what I see are cracks forming and spreading across the world. It's dead in The Force... I took everything it had... The people on the planet are crying out...
It was a Twi'lek settlement... I remember the Twi'lek people loathe me even to the present day. I blink, and I'm no longer on my ship watching Ryloth. I'm back on Tatooine. I'm standing in front of my home. The place before I knew anything about myself.
My body is that of a child, and this takes me back to a time when I didn't know evil. All I knew was a happy life.
"Nathen!! Are you coming to eat!?"
The sound of my dad's voice rings out from the house, and I rush as fast as my little feet can carry. But I don't find anyone inside as I enter the place I called home.
Panic fills my being, and I head for the living room. And there I see mom and dad sitting on the couch. Watching a holonet video. They see me, and mom stands up with worry. Making her way over to me and crouching down.
"You okay? You don't look like you're doing so good, my little sand fox..."
No one knows how much I miss being called that by my mom... How much I miss my dad... Instead of saying anything, I throw my arms around her and give her the biggest hug I can give. My eyes are shut, and she hugs me too.
As I'm about to say something, I feel her disappear from my grasp. I open my eyes, and I'm standing outside the cave. Dagobah surrounds me. I'm no longer meditating, and my eyes pour tears.
"So it was goodbye..."
That's what I've been shown. The Force is telling me to let go and move on. I'm not done on Dagobah. I can feel something calling me from the northern end of the planet. Something there that wasn't here when we arrived.
Speaking of we, I need to get ahold of Nella.
~~~(POV: Nella Opal)~~~
~~~(Location: The Opal Ship, Above Dagobah)~~~
"I need you to come down and get me. We'll be heading to the northern end of the planet. Becareful landing. There aren't many places nearby that aren't damaged."
He shuts off the holo call before I ask him if he's alright. A sigh leaves me, and I sit down in the pilot's seat. Taking the ship down to the nearest area that isn't damaged. It's been eight days. At one point, I thought Dagobah would be destroyed.
But at the end of yesterday, it started healing. Now it's back to normal. Something must've happened with Nate. His emotions reflect the damage done to Dagobah. That's the best guess I've got.
Whatever he saw, it was personal. I won't bother him about it. Maybe one day, he'll share everything with me. But until then, I'll be his family and his Apprentice.
