As we continued our walk to the crashed ship, I pulled myself together as best as possible and put on a brave face. I could no longer think of the repercussions, only ensuring my people's safety. The guards sheltered me as we finally reached the crash scene. My heart was beating out of my chest as my pace quickened to keep up with those around me.

When I arrived, more of our military had been called and already had the ship covered. I was prepared to enter the ship when I doubled over in a pain like stance.

"Your Grace, are you okay?" General Brayer asked beside me, grabbing my wrists to help me up. It felt like my body was not my own.

The feeling was incredibly strange.

There was a darkness draping over the entire ship. It was soul sucking, draining. And yet it called to me like a beacon in the night. The First Order emblem on the ship's exterior already gave away the evil inside but this was something different.

This was such a sinister energy I'd never felt before. Only someone with an extreme pull to the dark side could muster this type of energy. That's when I realized.

What was in the ship. Who was in the ship. It felt like my skin was on fire, my insides ignited.

It was Kylo Ren.

I took a deep breath and regained my composure, as much as humanly possible, and went to enter the battered ship.

"Your Grace, we cannot let you go in there," a military official said, attempting to stop me.

Well obviously, I don't want to go in there, but I have to.

If there was any possible way of stopping this man from partaking in anarchy in our planet, I would do it. Even if it meant facing Kylo.

"I respect your decision, but this is my planet and my people. I will do as I wish," I mustered out. I had to shake off my nerves and act as if this wasn't the scariest thing I'd ever done. I brushed past his shoulder as the guards covered the ship's door with themselves and their weaponry, as I went inside.

As I entered, I saw First Order nurses moving at lightning speed and heard machines whizzing insistently. A few stormtroopers lingered in the background. Thankfully no one seemed injured from the crash. Maybe a little shaken up, but not enough to show it to their leader.

At my entrance however, they were up in arms as the stormtroopers came to the front of the ship.

"As leader and princess of this planet, your master's presence is unwelcome. I must ask you to leave at once," I told them confidently.

The stormtroopers were amused by my command. The nurses eavesdropped and were shocked at my demand but would never take one wrong move in betraying their leader. They were innocent though, unwillingly having submitted themselves to be his slaves. The status of their ship however, told me enough about how long they had been traveling and their low fuel reserve. Their work should be nearly complete on their leader by now after their travels.

"I'm sorry we cannot do that," said one of the nurses to me firmly.

I stared into her innocent jade green eyes. They were glossed over, fear showing in her pupils. I reached into her mind just enough to suggest her to leave.

Now.

"On second thought, it would be best for us to leave Commander Ren at this time," she responded robotically as her nurses filed out behind her.

"You are welcome to stay here. My troops can offer you shelter and food, clothing if need be. You do not have to work for Commander Ren if you do not want to," I suggested to her, urging for them to get away while they could.
