Star Wars: Exiled/Chapter 3: May the Gods Be With You

He couldn't get any sleep. Thoughts of his future and past kept him away from the luxary of rest. Sacor jan Kellod instead sat on the sofa lost in thought. Earlier he had tried the door but it was locked as expected. The church had a certain curfew that all vistors and priests had to follow. Exept for the guards and High Priest of course.

"Did you get any sleep?"

Sacor turned to see one of his wives, Ryquil gex Grav. She also happened to be his favorite. Not favorite he thought. More like closest.

"Not really." he shrugged.

She walked over and rubbed his soldier.

"It'll be okay."

Kellod put his head in his hands.

"I doubt it."

"I'm proud of you. Risking you life to kill those Huks." she tried to coax.

"It was necessecary."

Sacor walked up and starred out the window. Gazing at the blazing sun just sitting on the horizon.

"You want a drink?" he asked Grav.

She nodded and he walked over to the kitchen and poured both of them a drink. He added sugar to his. Just the way he liked it. He sat back and handed his drink back to Ryquil. The two were quite for a while. Yet, someone else would break the silence.

"Sacor jan Kellod?" a guard asked.

Sacor rose "Yes?"

"It's time."

Sacor understood and grabbed his wife's arms. He looked her in the eyes and kissed her before marching out the door. Sacor and the guard walked down sevral corridors before coming to a stop. Kellod recongnized the door as the entrance to the High Priest's office. The guard activated a comlink on the wall.

"High Priest?"

"Yes?"

"He's here."

"Good send him in."

The door opened and the guard looked at Sacor.

"May the gods be with you." he said. Then the door behind Sacor closed.
