Holy fuck!!! It's quite the culture shock to go from being the only person with purple hair to a whole ass planet of them. We've landed on Greylandia, and Asohka wasn't kidding. It's beautiful here!!! Lush forests, I'm pretty sure I saw an ocean as we approached the planet, and even the city is beautiful!
The buildings are exquisitely hand crafted, each one unique. People walk about, their clothing so elegant it makes the fashion of Canto Bight look tacky. Din walks with me, and I hold on to his arm. My nerves are high, especially since people are staring at us. Probably wondering how we got here or something.
Din looks around, and finds a little alleyway. He pulls me into it, bringing me to the darkest area. He takes off his helmet, and touches our foreheads together. "It's going to be ok. I promise. I'm by your side, no matter what." He says, then kisses me.
I nod, taking a moment to breathe. If we could defeat Moff Gideon, meeting my people should be a breeze. Once he has his helmet on again, we leave the alleyway. As we get closer to the main hub of the city, I hear music playing. I feel drawn to it, and make my way to it. There's a large courtyard that's surrounded by vender stalls as well as shops.
There's a circle of people, and we make our way through to the center. I smile widely when I see Riley dancing with what looks like a local boy. The song ends, and she bows to the people clapping. She comes up from a bow, and sees me. Her face lights up, and she runs over to me. "Is it really you?" She asks.
"Told you I'd visit." I smile. She takes my hand and drags me and Din out to the middle of the circle.
"Ladies and gentlemen!!! Today is a joyous day indeed!!! For today, our lost princess has returned home!!!!" She calls out. People mutter, and I can feel they think Riley is nuts. "And I can prove it!!!" She says. She calls for someone to start The Song, and I look at her in confusion.
"What are you doing, Riley?" I ask as she has Din back up. Music starts playing, and the Force immediately takes over my body. I don't know this song, or the steps to the dance, but apparently the Force does, and it makes me dance with Riley in perfect step. As we dance, I see the shocked looks on people's faces, and some are even crying.
I can't tell if they are crying from happiness or not, but as we dance, Din suddenly joins in. "What the kriff is going on, Kira!?" He asks as we dance together.
"I don't know! The Force is making me do this! And I'm guessing it's making you dance too!" I tell him as we spin around in time with the music. Thankfully the music ends not long after, and people loudly cheer, clapping their hands and hollering. People call out to me, welcoming me home. Riley calls out to the crowd that we must get to the castle, and takes my hand.
The crowd parts for her, and she gets us out of the crowd. "The hell was that!?" Din asks.
"You must be Mando, Kira's husband! It's so nice to finally meet my brother in law!!! Where's my nephew?" She asks. We tell her a Jedi came for him, and she nods sadly. "Well, we'll meet him later then. Come on!!! Mother and Father will be so happy to see you!!!" Riley exclaims. She takes my hand again, and I make sure I grab Din's hand so he isn't left behind.
As we walk, Riley explains, "That song was made by Mother and Father. They used the Force to make sure only members of the royal family can dance to it. It was their way of testing anyone who claimed to be you." Riley says.
"But I was forced to dance too. I'm not even a Greyling!" Din tells her.
"You're married to Kira. You're family too!" Riley smiles as she continues to half drag us through the crowds. We get to a congested part of the city, and Riley can't get us through anymore.
