Epilogue (Part 2) - 15 years later

*Twins are now 21, Seeker is now 17. Both twins are trans and took on each other's names, though not personalities. happy reading!*

He climbed through her bedroom window, a blaster drawn at her head. All he wanted was to destroy her and that couldn't really be disputed. But he was unaware of her mental state. The fact still swirling in her head that she would die alone. Her siblings were too protective of her social life and her parents were too set on keeping them all isolated here.

This planet filled with people, none of which understood or cared for her. They were respected but not well loved. Often others would try to take advantage of them, but nobody in their household would let her fall.

"Put the weapon away. You will not manage to strike me." She spoke, startling the villain above her. He jumped, dropping the weapon on the floor so it skidded to hit her desk tables wooden leg. Stooping down, he picked the gun up and cringed at his own shock.

"I admit you're a hard person to surprise little girl."

"Voices swirl in my head through every hour of every day. Sometimes they're real. Sometimes they're fake. But I listen to my surroundings either way. The force guides me and prepares me for everything. It cradles me within its arms and lets me see all I ask to see." The man stared at her as the doorbell rang from the foyer downstairs. It was the middle of the night, but still the bell rang. Loud pounding steps echoed down the hall, moving towards the door in a sleep stunted fashion.

The man pulled out a knife, moving it to hover over her throat as more footsteps echoed up the steps towards them. These ones were more hasty, as if they knew what was happening. The door opened to the bedroom and there stood not only Kylo Ren and Armitage Hux, but a tall man with dark brown hair and hazel eyes to compliment the darkened muddy color of his own skin. He was unfamiliar to the household but Seeker had seen him before from her few visits to town.

"Let her go!" Armitage cried as the mysterious man controlled the intruders hand to drop the knife. Kylo and Armitage were instantly pulling the man away from their daughter and took him to the kitchen to decide what his fate would entail. The third figure stayed in the bedroom, watching over her as she sat looking out of her balcony window.

"If he'd killed me I might have led a better life."

"You'd be dead. That's not life at all. It's being truly lost with no real purpose. You wouldn't want that."

"And who's to say I wouldn't? I'm my own person, am I not?"

"You are. Don't let the words of a mere peasants son make you surrender. You're in a war and the only way you can live is to win. We've all been there in different ways, just let the force take stride within you and you'll honestly know what to do. I'm Honoree by the way."

"Honoree. I rather like that name. Is there any good reason to try to be sane?"

"I'm not asking you to be sane. I'm asking you to remain. Live here on this plane." Suddenly Kylo appeared in the doorway and escorted the young man away. As he was walking away, a melody drifted out over the balcony, unheard by all but them.

"If I told you this was only gonna hurt

If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn

Would you walk in?

Would you let me do it first?

Do it all in the name of love."

Seeker let all her worries slip into her voice as she sang out into the sky. Armitage came into her room and stood at the doorway. Observing her, but saying nothing. She sang louder before she turned away to hug her father. Crawling into her bed tiredly, she let the music internalize itself, so she no longer had to carry it aloud.

"Would you let me lead you even when you're blind?

In the darkness, in the middle of the night

In the silence, when there's no one by your side

Would you call in the name of love?"

Having shut her eyes, a vision of a darkened street corner, lit by a single street lamp came into view. Honoree was singing to the street lamp while looking out at the moon. Seeker appeared beside him as if floating down from the clouds. She swung herself around the street lamp and hid behind it's base as he sang to her.

"In the name of love, name of love

In the name of love, name of love

In the name of

In the name, name

In the name, name"

Honoree continued to sing to her, moving to peek around the pole as she let her legs float upward to imitate flying towards the ground. He grabbed her by the wrist and they both were pulled up heavenward. Looking at the stars and feeling it's warmth rush around them, until they were pulled back to the ground.

"If I told you we could bathe in all the lights

Would you rise up, come and meet me in the sky?

Would you trust me when you're jumping from the heights?

Would you fall in the name of love?"

Seeker caressed his face, pulling him into the spotlight of the lamp, before she started to fly away, letting her dress loosely move out towards the sky. Her words compelled her to grab the side of the pole and let her feet float, followed by her dress up to meet the stars. Then she let go and he caught her as the light fled from the space.

"When there's madness, when there's poison in your head

When the sadness leaves you broken in your bed

I will hold you in the depths of your despair

And it's all in the name of love."

Honoree lifted his hand to pull her forehead up to meet his. As he sung, he let her face grow chilled in that space before he pulled her up into the light. A smile graced her lips before a figure entered their dreamland. He was tall and watched without words, just letting it happen.

"In the name of love, name of love

In the name of love, name of love

In the name of

In the name, name

In the name, name."

Seeker noticed right away and tried to depart, in fear more than anything. Yet, her words didn't slow or falter at all. But Honoree caught her and stilled her. The lamp grew in brightness until there was an explosion from it and they were back in the cosmos. They spun around each other faster and faster, as if this was a dance where they both defied all laws of gravity.

"I wanna testify

Scream in the holy light

You bring me back to life

And it's all in the name of love."

Honoree sang as they spun, his words catching in the night air as the figure in the vision left, letting them have their moment. Seeker held him tightly as if she was afraid something bad was going to happen if she let go for merely a single second. He just pulled her closer and pushed her light brown hair out of her eyes.

"I wanna testify

Scream in the holy light

You bring me back to life

And it's all in the name of love."

Seeker sang the promise back to him, hoping to seal this night in her memory for forever. For the first time since her father's got her fixed, she felt alive. And she never wanted to forget this moment or this feeling. It was special and something she never wanted to give up. Not in a million years. As he pulled her closer she just felt him and lingered in his breath.

"In the name of love, name of love

In the name of love, name of love

In the name of

In the name, name

In the name, name."

They sang together as they slowly sunk back onto the street corner. A man entered from the outside and patted Honoree on the back, drunkenly. As the man fell over, a second man entered, this one taller and with a stern face that looked an awful lot like Honoree's gentle face. He pulled out a photo of a beautiful blonde girl that Seeker recognized and let painful words escape his lips. Among them were the two worst: arranged marriage.

"In the name of

In the name, name

In the name of..."

Honoree fought with the man, demanding for freedom, but receiving nothing. Slowly Seeker slipped from his fingertips as he sang, and soon the lamp's light flickered out, leaving him alone in his own pain.

"Love!" Seeker cried out the last word, abruptly sitting up in bed as tears collected in her lap. Hux and Ren were up and at her side instantaneously. Armitage rubbed her back until both himself and Seeker seemed to fall asleep. As Kylo went to collect Armitage and move him to their bedroom Seeker shifted slightly.

"Hey dad?"

"What is it Seeker?"

"What would you do," she paused from looking out the window to peer into his attentative orbs "in the name of love?"
