Chapter 7
Left Behind
"We're leaving today aren't we?" Tyan asked.
"Yes your highness." Thackeray said sadly, he knew Tyan didn't want to leave, but their planet was now part of the New Republic and there was no reason to stay on Coruscant any longer, but he knew the reason the prince didn't want to leave.
Tyan sat in the window seat looking down at the city. He'd been sitting there since morning and it was now late afternoon.
"Tyan, it's time to leave, come now." Hayden said gently leading Tyan out of the room, Tyan followed reluctantly to their ship.
"Wait, I need to do something first." Tyan said as he went back down the ships docking ramp and made his way through the crowd of people that were there to see them off towards the back where Tana stood. "I'll come back for you, I promise."
"You shouldn't make promises you can't keep." Tana Murmured sadly.
Tyan removed the small pendant that hung from his neck that bore his insignia and put it around Tana's neck. "A Bothan can never break a vow to their other half, and you're my other half. I'll be back for you."
"Here." Tana said removing her hair ribbon and wrapping it around his wrist and tying it.
"Thank you." He murmured kissing her gently.
Tana watched sadly as they took of and slowly disappeared from view.
