Grandfather

"Right this way sir," Elsa said as she led her guest into the Kinnaran temple. Walking at her side was a large humanoid who towered over. The man walked, hands behind his back, occasionally turning his head to view his surroundings and nod at a passing Kinnaran. The Kinnarans couldn't help but stare and some even blushed at the handsome man walking through their temple.

Eventually Elsa led him to the large training chamber where the younglings were practicing. The man flicked his yellow eyes over them before smiling as they landed on the young blue skinned Pantoran girl swinging a sword alongside her classmates. Elsa stayed back with them, letting Thrush continue the lesson. The man stood patiently by her side, assessing the younglings' forms and stance.

Eventually Thrush ended their practice, giving them all a short reprieve. The younglings turned their attention to Elsa, having senses her approach. They looked to her before their attention fell to the blue skinned man at her side. Immediately Nuna dropped her sword and ran toward them before throwing her arms around the man's leg.

The man smiled down at her, rubbing her head fondly. The other younglings watched on curiously, taking in the older Pantoran man who looked to be in his thirties. He had black hair and bear with two sets of horizontal yellow bars on both his cheeks and three vertical yellow lines on his forehead. He was comically gigantic compared to Nuna's tiny form, with her barely coming up to his waist.

"Must be Nuna's dad," Wally said curiously.

Emma and Claire shook their heads.

"Nuna lost both her parents. The only family she has left is her grandfather," Emma explained.

Everyone blinked in surprise. The man must have been at least in his fifties if that were the case. They were astonished that he looked so young.

"I'll give you some time. Perhaps you'd like to show your grandfather to your quarters Nuna?" Elsa offered. Nuna nodded eagerly before grabbing her grandfather's hand and pulling him along.

When they were gone the younglings walked up to Elsa, staring at her for an explanation.

"Chayton Yun," she said. "Nuna's grandfather," she confirmed.


Chayton smiled as Nuna showed him some of the things she'd collected since her time in training. He sat down on a cushion in her room, looking at the jewelry, personal Hoolite sword, and books she presented to him. All the while Nuna's face remained blank, but this was no surprise to Chayton.

"So Nuna," Chayton began. Nuna looked to him. "Are you enjoying your training? Are you making friends?"

Nuna took a seat across from him. Resting on her knees and staring at him with her golden eyes. "Yes grandfather. My friends are kind to me and I enjoy being with them," Nuna responded with a nod.

"And your training?"

Nuna remained silent before she glanced to the side and extended a hand. Chayton watched as she pulled a book to her with the Force, showing him how she'd learn to tap into and control her powers.

"I see," Chayton said, impressed. His smile grew. "I'm very proud of you Nuna," he told her sincerely. Nuna blushed, ducking her head shyly as she enjoyed his praise.

"What else have you done while here? Any adventures?" Chayton inquired.

Nuna began recounting her daily routines and lessons, alongside she and her friends' little adventure into the forbidden territory. Chayton chastised her for doing something so dangerous, but only lightly, glad to see she'd come out of it unharmed. Nuna also spoke of her friends, saying how they sometimes babies her, yet at the same time she found herself enjoying their attention.

Lastly she spoke of her mission off world with Elsa. Chayton cocked a brow as she mentioned a Miralian boy who she spoke of with a hint of fondness. Chayton could make out the blush on her cheeks, and he could've sworn he saw her lips twitch upward for half a second at the mention of him.

As Nuna continued on her friends peeked their heads in.

"Nuna," Emma said just loud enough to get their attention. Both Pantorans looked to the door. "It's time for sparring practice," she told her. Nuna nodded as she stood up and grabbed her sword. Chayton stood as well, following her out of the room and back to the practice room.

He stood by Elsa, watching as Nuna sparred against Ella.

"I hope you're enjoying the visit Mr. Yun," Elsa said beside him.

"Yes. It's good to be my granddaughter once again. I have missed her," he replied with a nod.

Elsa smiled at him. "She seems to be doing quite well. She was a little shy at first. But she's opened up to her classmates. Bonded with them," she explained.

"Yes. I can see that," Chayton replied with a nod as he watched her swordplay.

"Have you ever handled a sword Mr. Yun?" Elsa asked curiously, noting his intense gaze.

Chayton smiled ever so slightly, memories flashing before his eyes. "I'm no stranger to a blade," he answered vaguely. "I must thank you Jedi. All of you," Chayton said in earnest.

"Oh. What for?" Elsa asked.

"Nuna is happier than I've ever seen her," Chayton answered. "Though she still doesn't show it there is a smile on her heart. One that hasn't been there in a long time."

He paused to sigh, dropping his head in sadness. "Ever since my son and his wife's death she has never been the same. She had nightmare at first. She'd lose control of her powers in her sleep, make all the objects in her room fly about in a maelstrom. I did what I could, tried to comfort her through her loss...but I'm no Jedi."

"Finally the nightmares ended. But at a price," he whispered.

"She stopped smiling," Elsa guessed for him.

Chayton nodded in confirmation. "I sometimes wondered if I made the best decision in contacting the Jedi. Having them take away my son's only daughter," he said aloud. "But now I see it was right choice."

"I'm glad we could help her. She's a wonderful child. I do believe she'll be a great Jedi someday," Elsa said in pride. Chayton smiled and nodded in agreement.

After practice was over Nuna spent more time with her grandfather, enjoying the company of her family as the day wore on. At night Chayton joined the younglings' at dinner, learning a little more about her friends. Finally, just before bed Chayton asked Nuna to sing him a song. Nuna gladly accepted, standing up and taking a deep breath before singing a Pantoran lullaby.

Everyone stared in amazement, having never heard Nuna sing before. She had a beautiful voice, soon everyone was enraptured by the melody.

Eventually it was later in the night. The younglings started heading off to bed. Nuna tried to keep awake to enjoy more time with her grandfather. But she found her eyes beginning to droop. Chayton chuckled as he picked her up in his arms and carried her to her room. He set her down on her cot, removing her sword and boots and placing a blanket over her.

Before sleep could take her Nuna sat up and gave him a kiss on the cheek in affection. Soon she had drifted off. Chayton watched her, a smile on his face. He stood up and left her to sleep. He found his way back to Elsa, who awaited to take him back to Pantora. He thank her for allowing him to visit, knowing that the Old Order would have been against contact with family members.

Elsa dismissed his thanks as they took a ship into orbit and up to Prime. As they got further and further away from the temple Chayton continued to smile, glad to have seen his granddaughter and happy to see her doing so well. She'd come along way since her parents' death. And one day he hoped he could see her smile once again.

For he still remebered it fondly.

She had the smile of her grandmother.


Across the galaxy a greenskinned boy recieved a strange transmission from an unknown source. He answered it with an akward, "Hello?"

"I can find you anywhere Jaxx Stali. Son of Maxx Stali."

"Uh...who is this?"

"A man with a grandaughter. And if you hurt her. I. WILL. END. YOU."

And just like that the transmission cut out.
