I opened my flooding eyes from my dream and he was sitting across from me.

Kor. I whispered softly to him. 

I saw Kylo get up and stride over to me, and then I looked back at Kor and he was gone. 

I began sobbing. Uncontrollably sobbing. 

Kylo grabbed my face and wiped my tears away from my cheek, and I crashed into his chest. I had a dream about Anoat, and then I saw Kor. He was shirtless in his bed, sitting up. His hair was a bit longer than it use to be and he has grown out a beard. I could hardly recognize him, aside from his green eyes. He looked more muscular than he was prior, I'm not sure how that was even possible. 

"You were screaming," Kylo whispered as he sat down on the bed and pulled me in close to him. 

I pulled away from him and went straight to the balcony. I needed fresh air. I needed to be sure this was real. That Kor was actually sitting in front of me. I looked around and gripped the railing, and took a deep breath. 

The force. 

It brought us together. But how, how did this happen. I don't know who to ask, I can't ask Kylo. He will know. 

Grandfather, please help me. 

There was silence. 

Please, I've lost my way. I need you. 

I would need to get answers. I will find answers. 

I felt a shiver in my spine. 

"Are you okay?"

He called out from behind me, standing in the doorway. I could sense he felt like he didn't know what to do, but he was trying to help. The moonlight providing the only light in front of us. 

I couldn't tell him about my dream. About Anoat. Because he is the one that left me there, he left me on the field as we argued. I use to have so much anger towards him about that day, but I learned to move on. Or at least I thought I did move on. 

"I just want to go back to sleep," I said and walked past him. 

I laid back down in bed, and looked at the ceiling. I felt tears beginning to form and fall down my cheek again. I felt a desire to see him, to see Kor once more. I never got to say goodbye to him, and he didn't either. 

I rolled over and stared at the moon from the windows and closed my eyes.

I woke up before Kylo did. I didn't sleep well last night, I kept tossing and turning. I kept hoping I would hear something from Kor once more. Or grandfather. I was left in silence all night. 

I headed into the wash and started getting ready for the day. I decided to wear a plunging neckline with cap sleeves and a flowy skirt to fit in here with everyone else today.

I headed down the hallway of the giant castle to sit down for breakfast. The hallway had more open windows on each side of the wall, with the occasional door to another room. There was a common theme throughout this palace, is that it was earthy hues and tones throughout the decor. 

Plenty of reds, browns, and greens. Which had begun to grow on me, it was a nice change from the cold hardness of metal and steel with the First Order. I approached the dinning hall where there was a feast prepared for us. 

It was a long table that had just a few chairs scattered around it, with plates and cups awaiting to be used. This room had all open doors with drapes that flowed with the wind, allowing the smell of the fresh food to circulate throughout.
