Suffering And Hope

Staring at the small figure clutching their knees in the alleyway, Leia felt something burning deep within. It was a feeling that she had never felt before and she didn't know what to make of it.

It was like a raging inferno threatening to swallow all if it ever gets out.

Trying her best to calm her emotions, she kneeled in front of the boy and tried to heal him. The moment she reached out with her hand, she could see the panic in his eyes as he closed his eyes in fear.

Biting her lip, Leia sighed.

"It's okay, I'm not here to hurt you." She muttered softly as a soothing current of energy flowed into his body, healing all of his wounds in the blink of an eye.

"There, it's not bad is it?" She smiled while patting the boy's head.

Nodding his head nervously, he hesitated for a moment before grabbing her sleeves.

"C-can you help my family too?"

"Of course, can you show me where they are?" Leia nodded.
