Bab 85: Keeping My Promises

In the dark woods, I changed. Or, I became who I might have been if I’d never met Miri or Michael. But Michael was gone and Miri had James and even James had become someone new, someone else. Did it really matter what I chose anymore? I searched my heart, the center of my being where I’d hidden the secret of the golden spark my whole lifetime. I searched for it - but it wasn’t there. At least, I couldn’t feel it. And my skin was as black as any First Order demon.

If only Akaros could see me now.

The thought stopped my heart for a moment - did I really mean that? Did I really want Akaros to be proud of me? Then again, I’d killed him, so it didn’t matter one bit what he thought.
