Notes: Next up is the 200 Freestyle! (A 200-word story about your characters with a free choice of any theme.) I took this title from another Linkin Park song, "Shadow of the Day".

II. "Sometimes Goodbye's the Only Way" | 37 ABY | 200 Freestyle
.
It's pouring down rain when they arrive at the Jedi Academy on Ossus.
Only four years old, they cling to their father's hands, watching silently as he greets the two Jedi standing inside the entrance. The first is a tall man with white hair who looks like he could wrestle a gundark. The woman beside him has long, silver hair and strange, milky eyes, but she smiles wide when she sees them.
"Welcome," she says, and despite the chill from the rain, they can feel a warmth that they somehow know is her. "I'm Tionne Solusar, and this is my husband, Kam."
Their father lets go of their hands to greet the two Jedi, but as soon as he's done, Dorian and Veeran latch onto him again. The grown-ups exchange pleasantries, and their father explains that he can't move to Ossus like some of the other parents, but he'll be back as often as he can afford.
He stays with them for three days before returning home. Says he loves them, and they'll be happy here.
He visits two more times before the speeder crash. They don't understand, but Master Tionne stays with them, and she sings them to sleep.
