STAR WARS

The Lost Episode: Portal to a Distant Past

Chapter 13

"Hey, you gonna be okay?" Anakin asked Dryian as they were approaching Correllia.

"In time… perhaps," Dryian sighed sadly and continued to seemingly watch Anakin pilot his spacecraft, in reality she was listening to him, but searching for her sister with the Force.

"From the way Uncle Luke greeted you, I can only bet that my folks will be more enthusiastic," Anakin tried to lighten the mood.

"It will be good to see them again, especially Han and Chewy," Dryian responded softly.

"So… you weren't that close to my mom?"

"She and I spoke on a few occasions, and she was very polite. Han, Chewy, and I talked more. My sister and Chewy were pals."

"Oh."

"Anakin, do you have siblings?"

"Yeah, my older brother and sister, they're twins."

"Oh."

"They're nice enough, but Jaina can get a bit batty around mechanics and Jacen around this one particular girl," Anakin shrugged.

"Tennel Ka, right?" Dryian replied smiling sadly.

"Yeah, but how did you know?" Anakin frowned.

"I read it somewhere… a long time ago…" Dryian closed her eyes and tried not to cry. "Please excuse me," Dryian told Anakin softly as she released herself from the chair restraints and fled to another room to cry.

"She read about us?" Anakin frowned as he landed his spacecraft on Correllia. "If she's from the past how could she have read something on us?"

"We've landed," Dryian stated hoarsely as she entered the room, eyes red and puffy from crying, and on her face was a forced smile.

"Don't…" Anakin began.

"Don't what?"

"ANI!" a lady ran onto the ship and hugged him tightly.

"Mum! Can't breathe!" Anakin protested.

"Hey squirt, how've ya been?"

"Han?" Dryian took one look at the ex-smuggler and ran to him, crying into his shirt.

"D-Dryian!" Han gasped.

"I found her locked in an abandoned ship, Dad," Anakin stated.

"Why did she do it? Why Han? Why?"

"Shh, it'll be alright, kiddo," Han sighed sadly as he hugged Dryian back.

"It'll never be alright, again," Dryian hiccupped. "Zee's gone! She turned! She promised me!"

"Shh, I'm here for you," Han rocked the girl in his arms gently.

"Han, perhaps we should take Dryian to our home and introduce her to the kids," Leia smiled.

"I'd settle for just seeing Chewy," Dryian mumbled into Han's shirt. "Need to hug something furry right about now."

Han chuckled sadly, "Guess you're in luck. Chewy is at our house right now."

"Really!" Dryian gazed up hopefully at him.

"Yeah, I won't lie to ya, kiddo," Han sighed.

"Thank you. You have no idea how much that means to me," Dryian whispered to the space pilot as she relaxed, nearing the first sleep she'd had the entire trip.

"Don't worry, we're here for ya, kiddo," Han picked up the nearly sleeping teen and carried her from the spacecraft, much to the shock of Anakin and the humor of Leia.

"Is she gonna be alright, dad?" Anakin asked concerned.

"She'll be alright, but it'll be a while before she's ready to let it all go," Han smiled sadly down at the sleeping girl in his arms.
