Saved by the Dark

Pt. 47

''I've chosen to take my apprentice and the fire's daughter to wed,'' Kylo said. Everyone in the council chamber was quiet as some looked at each other wondering if this was a good choice.

The oldest member spoke. ''Sir, my allegiance is to you and I'll follow you anywhere, but how will this have a good outcome?'' he said and asked. It seemed like everyone had that similar question too. Kylo could sense the doubt in the room. He then spoke. ''My plan is to create powerful offspring then have their abilities cloned for a secret army,'' he said. ''AND this has to remain SECRET!'' he added.

With that in hand, everyone seemed pleased. Everyone then stood up, chatted with others, and then left. Kylo was SO glad to get that weight off! Now the whole ship would know soon. News spread quickly on the ship and then the rest of the galaxy would get word.

Kylo afterward then walked to one of the training rooms where Aalya was. He leaned on the doorway and watched her complete her tests. She had no idea he was watching until her force sense picked up his presence.

He removed his helmet as he wanted to see her with his own eyes. Aalya retracted her blade as she finished up. She went to the other side of the room to get a towel to wipe off her sweaty face. He quietly walked up behind her and hugged her from behind and wrapped her in his cloak. Her rested his head on top of hers,''your presence is very soothing,'' he said closing his eyes.

Aalya felt his stomach rumble and she was hungry as well. ''Let's get something to eat, I'm hungry and you're hungry,'' she said. ''Well, I did skip breakfast,'' Kylo admitted. Aalya smiled and then looked up at him. ''Well let's see what we can snatch from the kitchens.''

They took a few things and fled to the library before anyone noticed. Kylo went through food like he hadn't eaten in days. Aalya looked up from her food, ''really?'' ''You know you love it,'' Kylo retaliated as he stretched out some cheese with his hands and teeth.  Aalya just rolled her eyes and continued to eat.

They both finished eating a few minutes later.  Kylo gathered their trays and whatnot and took them into the hall, where he had a Stormtrooper take them. He returned inside to see Aalya lying in front of the fire on the big pillows. Kylo walked up and sat behind her. ''Is everything alright' he asked with concern. She rolled onto her back to look at him. ''Yes, just tired from the day,'' she said grasping his gloved hand.

He then stretched out to lay on his side with Aalya. ''I told the council today,'' Kylo said. ''What did they say or think?'' Aalya asked. ''Who cares, I do what I want,'' Kylo said as he kissed her. ''I never planned on this happening, but we don't get to choose who we love,'' he said. He then laid his head down by hers on the pillow.

He looked at her with his soft eyes. ''I have to leave for a few days,'' Kylo lowly said. '' O! Why?'' Aalya whined. Kylo grasped her hand back lightly. ''It will only be for a few days, and as Supreme Leader, I have to do these little tasks.'' Aalya understood. ''But when I return, me and you are going to Naboo. There will be a ceremony here, but I want a ''secret'' ceremony like my grandfather had,'' Kylo explained. Same palace, grounds, everything.

Aalya was excited. She had only seen the outside of the Naboo palace's, never the inside. She wondered how she would be dressed and painted up. Aalya also thought about how Kylo would be dressed too. As she turned her head, she was greeted with a dark, sleeping, mop of hair.

He looked so peaceful. He always did. But with the warmth Aalya gave off, made sleeping easy as well. Even his skin didn't look pale anymore. Kylo could sleep normally now without sleep aids and other things.
