Broken and Bloodstained

by Kindcaidlyn

The Star Wars adventure as you've never heard it before. This is the well-loved story through the eyes of Princess Leia--and her father.

1. Prologue

Alderaan was gone. Vaporized. Blown into space dust and asteroid chunks. Before my very eyes. And it was my fault. My fault. A whole world was gone. A whole civilization. and not just any world. My world. And it was my fault. My father, my cousins, my family and friends. Dead. My fault. Strangers, people I had never set eyes on. Dead. My fault. My world. My home. My fault.

I almost wished I was dead too. How could I go on? Everything I had ever known as a child was gone. And it was all my fault. My fault.

No. I told myself. No. The Alliance needs you.

But, I argued with myself. I joined the Alliance to save Alderaan. And I destroyed it.

So now you have to save others from suffering the same fate.

But I wanted to save Alderaan.

It's too late. Too late.

The words echoed in my head.
