Eternal Peace"No!" I shout, running between the Elders and the Young. "This cannot happen!"
It all happens in slow motion. Obi-Wan runs towards me, shouting 'No!' But at the same time, people start to shoot. Why are they shooting? Who are they shooting at? Don't shoot at Obi-Wan!
But then it hits me square in the chest. They were shooting at me! But why? I simply want to stop this devastation. I want to stop this hatred. I want no more war.
My eyes widen, and I sink to my knees. I fall backwards into Obi-Wan's arms. He stares down at me, tears in his eyes. It is then I realize that I love him. I love Obi-Wan as a brother, and as something more. But I will never be able to let him know.
"You'll be okay," he says, but his voice is fading. "Can you hear me? You don't need luck! Cerasi!"
My eyes can't focus, and the pain in my chest is beginning to numb. I am so close to death that I can taste it. I can smell it. I know that the people I cared about, at one time or another, surround me.
Wehutti, my father. Nield, my greatest friend. The Young, my comrades. And Obi-Wan.
I want to tell them something before I go, but I cannot open my mouth. I cannot form my words.
Please, let there be no more deaths by this war.
