It was silent.
A salty breeze of cold air reached her first.
Then…
Wonderful sounds of tangling crystals glasses.
Her legs were heavy,
her arms were stones...
She felt a huge hole in her stomach
like a hunger
a Void...
She remembered what happened after they killed all the Red guards;
-You were no one… He had said...but you're not No one to me. Join me. It will be no more sides…
Kylo Ren had holds his hand with outside grace but tremorous shaking bravery. She had stood straight and walked towards the bay windows;
-War is everywhere...Even people outcasting themselves such as Luke Skywalkers are in a side…
-The Dark side will be always there to raise War into the galaxy...and beyond
He had arrived next to her, standing in front of the scenery of lightstruck, laserbeam and explosion.
-Set a cease-fire agreement, disband this army...and I would be pleased to join you, discuss this future with no sides…
She had exhaled loudly and had felt a heavy pressure in her mid-body. The calm she had, facing the Sith King, the pain of torture and the fight against elite Red Guards, was leaving her.
-We will need an armed troop to set anything in place...if we let the Old Republic assemble with no...
-We are force wielders. We are not default manager of the …
She had felt little electric choc in her fingertips, the lights of the fight came blurry like a bokeh picture...She had turned her head having just a second left to see his head turning.
She could not recall how she got there, where she was…
She tried to open her eyes
but her lids were so weighty.
Then, she heard the mechanics bips of an auto-doc machine.
-Don't try to move, Said Finn voice. It almost done.
She tried to say ''What happen?''.
No intelligible sounds came off her mouth.
Her lips were numb.
He shushed her before taking her hand.
She could lightly press his fingers.
-I would explain to you… but I'm not that sure I totally understand what happened either… I was about to ask you what you did to change his mind like that…
The machine pushed a series of final bips;
-Process achieved with 98% success. Anaesthetic decreasing. The patient will feel temporary dizziness and maybe a chance of feeling weight in the shoulders. Recommended a week of minimal stress and rest.
Rey felt her energy painfully flow into her veins. She blinked few times, blind by the blue light. Finn get up and go in a corner to pick up a box;
-General Organa said it could fit you.
-Thanks. She said while sitting up. She wears medical biodegradable clothes. She touched her stomach, a new scar was there;
-Reviews of the surgery? She asked to the control panel.
-Female patient suffering of internal bleeding. Brought to healing pod fainted due to lack of blood in the brain. The patient show sign of nutritional deprivation and physical exhaustion due to high stress. Many muscle regenerates from over-stretching wounds.
Finn looked at her half-terrified and half-admiring. Someone knocked and he opened the door.
A cute female wearing engineering rebel suit appeared followed by a tall woman in shiny stormtroopers armour.
Finn stepped back, hand on his hops where his blaster should be
-What is she doing here! He shouted.
Rose rolled her eyes;
-They ''agreed'' both parties, as show of ''temporary agreement'' should act together as, I don't know… but I just think they don't want a side to ''influence'' her more than necessary…
Finn looks above: Phasma. She had beautiful light blond hair in a stylish short haircut and sparkly blue eyes. Finn couldn't believe it this disciplinary monster had the face of a warrior princess.
-Any problem, FN-2187 ? Phasma said.
Rey felt the disturbed spirit in the matter of Phasma. Her loyalty, values and social status were unsettled and at risk. She stood straight with her helmet in her hand, the eye shifty and the neck strong ...but inside, all her life was facing collapse in this cease of hostilities. She knew no others life aside training and war. Rey felt sorry for people like Her, that Peace meant Chaos.
Rose turned back and close the door;
-Lady Rey, I'm Captain Phasma. They send us to inform you for you expected presence at the second part of the War-Cease council. Leaders are taking a break right now.
Rey put her feet on the cold floor. Her feet were so far away,
she felt like wearing a body instead of living in it.
She didn't if i was due to the anaesthetic or her recent development within the Force.
Rey goy dressed as she got more confidence of her health condition. They insisted to put her warm boots and heavy wool draped cape over this silky white dress. Rose braids her hair so they would not be in her face. It has this formal pressure and distinguished energy in the room, she could identify.
She finally got out of the medical pod placed into a small scouting First Order spaceship.
She followed the two women.
Lost and Hopeful.
This ship was parked inside a frozen mining station.
A breeze of frost got out of her mouth as she walked down the stairs.
Not so far away, below the red crystal roof was settle a circle of improvised chairs, bench and boxes. Helmet-less stormtroopers and new order officers on a side around the chair of Kylo Ren. Stressful, exhausted, dirty and mix-matched rebels on the others around General Organa and her main admiral.
In the back, the body of Snoke was exposed in a glass coffin.
They all silenced as she approached.
Soldiers nervous on both sides.
There were two seats available.
One next to the Organa's officers, and the others in the right of Kylo Ren.
Hre first move into politics was to take a side in a near-end crisis delicate cease-fire. She stood in the middle of the two halves and spotted an abandoned box nearby. She raised her hand and pushed it toward her.
This simple proof of Force makes New Order soldiers looking at each others nervously. She placed the box in the middle and gracefully floated above and sit leg-crossed;
-So… I heard ...my presence was ... expected…
She looked at General Organa smiling then at the surprised Kylo Ren. He did a little head bow, crossed his fingers over his mouth hiding a quite unsettling smile.
-As I said. Started Kylo. I would not disband the army, the III Republic need an armed force to transit the power in case of insurgency or any third party military interaction. We will send an offer to planets and recorded systems of the Galaxy and beyond to send an elected senator and we would vote an executive prime minister or chancellor afterwards. Until then, I would hold the main power in the United ...whatever we would call it…
-It's a trap. Whispered Admiral Ackbar to the General Organa.
-How can we trust the Words of a Sith Lord. Standed a rebel soldiers.
-He is no more your son, General. Added another purple hair Officer.
Both party started to shout at the others.
Kylo was about to force silenced them all until he felt a gentle hand on his anger.
Like a swan feather on his heart.
He looked to Rey.
She was 15 feet away.
She tenderly squeezed his fingers.
And
They simply left.
The Concile vanished.
Everyone gone,
only silence,
mist and the sounds of crystal fox
far away.
-So that's you plan? She said.
Kylo stood up. Surprised by this exercise of Force magic.
-I haven't so much time to think but if I abdicated, the Greedy of the order will go on. If I disband the army, I sense It would only create only a reversed rebellion. There is a way to reach balance, prosperity and fairness… It won't be easy. I'd always know.
-Why did you never…
-Snoke. He said. He clouded me. Feed my hate and anger...He was...so powerful...luring him was something I couldn't plan…
-You learned from the best…
She let go a small smile. He smirked.
-How it happen again? I thought Snoke connected us…
She smiled kindly, swathed him with such a serene soothing feeling;
-Think about it… If Snoke could know where I was...He would know where Luke was...I don't think he was all-mighty and patient enough to just trick us and wait for a result. Maybe He spied on it...but I don't think he made the Bridge between us...
Kylo let a small exhale;
-I'm now master-less and never been...trapped by freedom as such. I see the arms of light reaching for me and still the darkness all a…
He didn't know why he could not stop revealing himself as such.
-There is no need to choose between light and dark… Shadows are the result of light over anything. They are part of the whole force, balance in the World...as death bodies fertilize the dirt bringing life over again….
He looked at her peaceful face. She reached a connection with the Force he didn't know about. He felt it her hearth was somewhere He didn't know could exist.
-But… I've been so…
-The past is gone. She settled down while nodding slowly.
-But not forgiven…
She smirked;
-You, is the only one who could forgive yourself…History would do the rest… And between you and I, who cares about what they all think...
Leia stood and shut up until the silence was granted to her. Her mighty presence brought back Kylo and Rey in the material time. He left a small smile toward her.
-Darth Vader, She said the eyes shut before bravely opening them. My grandfather...died years ago. Snoke died yesterday. Killing Sith-King never brought peace permanently in the galaxy. I don't say it as a Mother facing his son… but as a mandated ambassador of Alderaan, I can only agree to a proposal in this way with certain conditions…
-The spirit is heated. May we could sat down separately and prepare a solid treaty and discuss of the terms afterwards ? Said Admiral Holdo.
Kylo Ren nodded of approval. A new order officer stood and said;
-With all my respect, I would like to include a no-trial for both side officer. A way to settle this Crait's Treaty shall be to no punished one or others sides of war-crimes.
Main officers of the rebellion looked at each other. Leaving many war crimes unpunished was a strike in their principles.
-MR7, Said Leia. Take note of this proposal.
And it goes like this for hours.
