On the planet Serenno a wild storm raged, the trees outside the Lahzus palace shook wildly in the wind, and a ghostly howl accompanied it. With each strike of thunder the home seemed to shake. The palace itself stretched over 200 meters on each end of it and reached ten stories into the sky dominating the landscape around itself. Yet in one of the upper floors the cries of a women could be heard above even that of the storm. "Ahhhh!" Kanida cried from her bed both her legs propped up a blanket draped over her to preserve her decency.

"Just one more push mam. You can do it." A protocol droid said with a posh and smooth tone to its voice. The droids body was made of Durasteel that reflected the lights from the room due to its shininess. Eyes shutting and brow scrunching Kanida gave one final push as the droid reached down. Kanida had felt pain many times in her life yet childbirth seemed to be the worst. Even after two other children it still hurt like a Akk Dogs bite. Falling backwards her head laying on the assortment of pillows her head spun, and sweat covered her body.

"OH Dear..." The droid said as it wrapped the baby in a towel and looked down at it. "Lady Pallopides!" The droid called out in worry.

"Lahzus." Kanida was able to pant out through her heavy breaths as she tried to calm her heartbeat. "The name is Lahzus now... For the thousandth time E3 I am a Lahzus now." She said casting a weak glance at the droid. Her usually tan skin had lost almost all its color. While her silver hair was slicked down from the sweat that had soaked into it. "Let me see him. Let me see my boy."

"Sorry my lady... But there is something about the child." E3 said with a bit of a stutter.

"Is he healthy?! What's wrong?" Kanida asked somehow gaining the strength to sit upright through the pain in her abdomen and lower body.

"No lady Lahzus it's something else." E3 said waddling over to its master. "You see. The child is a Zeltron." E3 said placing the child into Kanida's open arms.

"We need to get your photoreceptors checked again E3" Kanida said before looking at the child. As she did so her breathing stopped the women stared in wide eyed horror at the child. The pink skin, red eyes, and silver hair tinted with red. The child was indeed Zeltron... At least partially. "By the force what have I done?" Kanida said shaking her head at the child tears welling up in her eyes. How could one night of drinks and business have turned into this? The side of her head was pounding just thinking about the night that happened so long ago.

The marriage between her and Kalil Lahzus was becoming stale, he ignored her and was constantly gone only touching her when angry. Whether it be a meeting gone wrong, or a business gone under Kaneda was his release of frustration. He barely even touched her anymore... Yet while out for a drink at a high class bar here comes a Zeltron that said the right words, pretended to care, and took advantage of her. It was a moment of weakness one that Kanida knew she'd regret.

"Where is he? Where is my son?" Kalil asked exploding into the room his extravagant cape bellowing behind him. Kalil was a man of average height around a meter and a half tall. His hair was an elegant blonde that was slicked back and his eyes a brilliant blue. Not truly muscular or lean he hung somewhere in the middle and he walked with pride and a straight back. Following were two children twins, and neither could've been older than nine. One boy and girl both sported Kanida's silver hair with an elegance she could barely match while having their fathers blue eyes that shined brighter than a jewel.

"Kalil no. You must not look." Kanida said but it was too late. The man had already barreled past E3 knocking the droid off balance.

"Oh dear." E3 said as it stumbled around trying to ensure it didn't fall to the ground, but to late. The droid fell heavily on its side a heavy thud reverberating through the room. "I'm stuck! Help me children?" E3 asked waving at the kids.

"WHAT IS THIS?!" Kalil yelled holding the hybrid child in his hands. "How could you do this to me?" He asked Kanida looking down at her. His eyes were slitted and if looks could kill Kanida would've been dead instantly. "After everything I've done... I provided for you, took care of you, hired you help. And none of it was enough?!"

There was no sadness behind Kalil's gaze only righteous fury. His body shook and his pale white skin began to change to a bright red. Finally back on his feet E3 saw the signs turning to the children. "Come on now. Let's get you bathed and ready for bed." E3 said ushering the kids out the room.

"But I want to see my brother!" The girl shouted as she was gently pushed along with her brother. Exiting the room E3 shut the door behind him before waddling after the children.

"You did this to me!" Kalil asked hate seeming to spill from between his lips. Swinging one of his arms that caught a vase and sent it sprawling across the floor the rich soil spreading across the tile. As though the vase wasn't enough Kalil backhanded Kanida causing a yelp of pain to emit from her.

"Give me the child." Kanida commanded in as calm a voice she could muster yet it still shook and tears cascaded down her cheeks. The right side of her face bright red from the hit she had suffered. Reaching out for the child that had begun crying in Kalil's arms. Children were already sensitive, but zeltron children were even more so due to their empathetic abilities. Louder and louder the child cried in the man's arms.

"You do not command me! Is this child... This bastard more important than what we've had over the last 10 years?! Is it worth this palace? The children we had together..." Kalil asked casting a disgusted glance down at the child his nose wrinkling and teeth clenching tighter together. Rubbing his face with one hand he shook his head. "You know what. I don't need you. I am Kalil Lahzus. Women will line up to marry me once again. In fact you can have your child back, but you are no longer apart of this family. You are no longer a Lahzus."

"Kalil no!" Kanida shouted after her husband as he spun on his heels walking for the door. Arm reaching out as though she could stop him she begged all that was good in the force to let him forgive her. "I love you."

Stopping at the door hand on the handle Kalil's head bowed a tear streaming down his left cheek. "Tomorrow you and that child will be shipped to Kessel."

"Slavery?! You would sell me and the child into slavery? Even if its just me don't punish the child Kalil! Where is your heart?" Kanida screamed at her husband no longer able to fight the tears that overwhelmed her.

"No not selling, I'm giving. You and that child mean nothing to me." Kalil said walking out the door and slamming it behind himself. He knew that Kanida would be to weak to flee the palace, and even then the city was 3 miles away. She was trapped, and he would have his revenge when he sent them away.
