Instead of Kylo Ren answering, a deeper, much older voice answered. "Your true power has finally awoken."
♛
"Who was that?" Riel asked.
Kylo Ren stared at her blankly. "What do you mean?"
Riel furrowed her eyebrows. "Didn't you hear it just now? That voice?"
"No one aid anything. You must be hearing things." He said.
She nodded slowly. "If you will excuse, commander, I must go back to my room immediately." It wasn't so much a question as it was a statement.
Riel quickly turned around and exited the hall. She ran down hallways and up the elevator. Only once she was on a different floor did she stop. Riel continued walked and soon came to the realization that she didn't have a clue where she was going.
From down the hall, she heard the clomping of a stormtrooper's boots and rushed toward the sound.
"Excuse me!" She called to the soldier who had their back to her.
They turned around.
"Could you possibly help me? I don't really know where I am going.." She trailed off.
"Identification?"
Riel looked down sheepishly. "I wasn't given any. But if it helps, I'm Princess Afriel."
"Of course you are, follow me." The soldier began to walk away and Riel obediently followed.
She did wonder how they knew where she wanted to go. Surely they couldn't read her mind such as how Kylo Ren had.
The soldiers lead her down a series of hallway and back into another elevator.
She furrowed her eyebrows. "Why are we going down?" She asked curiously.
A sense of unease rolled off of the soldier, but she ignored it. "You were on the wrong floor."
Riel knew she was lost, but not that lost. There was clearly something strange going on. She stayed quiet, not wanting to alert the soldier that there was something wrong and decided to wait and see where she was being taken. Worst comes to worst, she could try and use her newfound powers on him, although she didn't know how successful she would be.
The doors opened and Riel and the soldier stepped out and continued on their way. Eventually, they reached a set of doors in which the stormtrooper opened. Beyond lay a room that resembled the command deck, but it had no large window and was operated by more stormtroopers. Although one of them, Riel noticed, wasn't wearing any armour. Their attire resembled that of General Hux, so they must have been the commanding officer.
