"Lady Persephone..."

I turned my head and smiled as i watched one of my oldest and dearest friends stalk towards me, Chewbacca close in tow.

The long awaited reunion would have been much more sweet if it wasn't for the angry scowl upon his face.

"Han Solo. What a pleasure." I spoke, turning to face him.

"What are you doing here? And where are your guards?"

I felt my eyebrows involuntarily raise a I watched his face turn red, and a vein on the side of his neck that looked like it was about to burst at any moment.

"I evaded them." I smiled wider, not at all fazed. "They made me feel like a prisoner. They were very easy to break loose from too, especially since my Grandfather warned them that I would flee at whatever chance I get."

Han looked perplexed while Chewbacca let his disappointment known by making the first sound since the beginning of our encounter and shaking his head.

"Well hello to you too Chewie."

"Your grandfather will be furious when he finds out about your absence!" Han warned.

"Oh, he already knows..." I smiled sheepishly as his eyes narrowed.

"Seph. What did you do?"

"I had to get off the planet somehow!" I tried to defend myself.

"You stole a ship?" He shouted, his face red and veins apparent once again, but with the new addition of bulging eyes.

"Well, your standing in it." I shrugged, gesturing around us. He had obviously not figured that out.

"Persephone Leia Cassiel!"

"You've done worse!"

"That doesn't mean you should do the same! I knew I should have never taught you how to fly."

"I had to get away Han. Now more than ever."

"Why?" He frowned.

"You know why."

"No. Absolutely not " He shook his head, Chewbacca agreeing with him.

"But I want to find Luke just as much as anybody else!" I exclaimed.

"I know you do Seph." He sighed. "But it's too dangerous. Everyone knows who you are. You could be killed."

"I want to help the resistance. I don't want to feel useless anymore."

"Your not useless. One day, you are going to take your Grandfather's place as ruler of planet Avalon and you are going to be the best damn ruler there has ever been."

"If I am only destined to rule a planet then why can I do this?" I help out my hand, allowing fire to burst out of my palm.

"You've gotten stronger." He sighed.

"I need to do something Han. The first order killed my parents..."

His expression softened. "Seph..."

"They have Ben. I need to help Ben." I whispered, feeling my chest hurt.

Han stared at me with pain filled eyes.

"Ben isn't the boy he used to be Seph. He's changed."

"I have to try." I pleaded.

He looked like he was about to say something else when someone noisily ran through the entrance of the ship, revealing themselves to be two people, a male and a female, both looking relieved at the sight of Han.

"We though we had lost you.." The male spoke before he caught sight of me and cut off with a gasp.

"Your...your.."

"Lady Persephone." The girl answered, her eyes wide.

"Please. Call me Seph." I smiled, feeling my own eyes widen at the sight of a small Orange and white droid roll into the ship.

I looked towards Han in question, only to receive a nod in confirmation.

"Well I never..." I whispered.

"Seph. This is Rey and Finn. They are taking BB-8 here to the resistance."

"And your going with them?" I asked, feeling hopeful.

"Yes. Straight after I take you home."

"Han." I looked at him. "Please. Please let me help."

There was a long pause as Han seemed to be fighting an inner battle. Finally he sighed, frowning.

"Fine."
