001 || First Look In
The new silence in his mind was jarring. For years Kylo had someone’s words in his ears, willing him closer and closer towards the dark side. Now that Snoke was gone, the voice had become quiet. There was a buzz, but it was so soft that he hardly realized it was there. That being said, he could not worry about the silence, he needed to rebuild the First Order, finish what his grandfather had started. He also needed to find the scavenger, Rey.
Finding Rey should not have been the task it had become, they were connected, much to his late masters’ dismay.
Well, maybe it was for the best. Maybe the whisper was not as unimportant as he thought it to be?
So many thoughts that paralleled one another, so many that did not see eye-to-eye. Was it weak of him to think, even if just for a moment, that he needed some rest? At least mentally. Was that why he found himself locked in his quarters again? Away from the constant back and forth of the general?
His eyes were closed and his breathing slowed as he finally willed himself to meditate.
