* Prayers *
Corran Horn had been luring the dovin basins away from Kyp when suddenly a plasma glow shot up to where Anakin was. His ship jolted as it took the hit. Reaching out to the Force, the Jedi Master used all his strength to feel Anakin, but knew it was too late. The life Force where Anakin had been seemed to no longer be. Every muscle inside of him seemed to turn to jelly, but Corran refused to give into the feeling.
"Kyp, you guys will have to find a way out on your own. Anakin's down." He yelled into the communications council.
"W-what? You've—"
"Listen there's no time to chitchat. Go now. I'm shuttling out of here. May the Force be with you." With that note, he canceled the private line, and locked his ship onto autopilot, set for the Errant Venture. Jumping out of his seat he went to go to Anakin's aid.
There just had to be some time left. For the first time, Corran prayed to God. He wasn't a believer in any sort of faith, but did acknowledge a higher power, not the Yuuzhan Vong's type of gods, just one. There had to be, but at the moment he wasn't in the mood for debating the fact with his mind. He knew what he believed, and he knew what had to be done. Prayers always seemed to work. It did when he almost lost his wife, Matrix. Maybe it would work for Anakin too. He just couldn't believe that…
No, the boy had to have a chance.
He did.
And no matter what anyone else tried to convince him, Anakin wasn't going to die under his responsibility.
