(Normal pov)

The light shone in through Horus chambers inside of his warship, blinking the sleep out of his eyes, Horus smiled at the sight of both Ashara and Ahsoka nude and clinging to his own body. Regrettably, Horus removed himself from his lovers and kissed each lovely woman on their foreheads and murmured. "I love you." To each woman, causing smiles to spread across their lips as they continued sleeping, Horus smiled and then headed off to a water basin and lightly washing off the stench of sweat and sex that still clung to his body. Horus was very eager for the day, because he was going to spend the day with his children and help them hone their skills as warriors, getting to know them as people and just being their for them.

Being a father to them.

It made Horus's blood boil in rage knowing that he missed nineteen years of their lives and that Sidious and the Empire had robbed that time from him.

They would all pay for that grievous offense, in due time.

Horus put on a sleek black robe and tan leather pants and put on his Mandalorian boots on and clipped both his lightsabers on his belt before exiting his warship and headed outside. The sight of his rebellion at work and preparing for their next strike against the Empire caused pride to swell within Horus, the Force Sentinel was eternally grateful for those who led the Alliance in his absence, but when the rebels were being led by Horus himself? They followed the Force Sentinel's every order almost without question and they all believed in his cause and were eager to overthrow the shadow both the Sith and Empire had casted across the galaxy.

As the rebel king made his way towards the training arena, several Mando's approached their leader, bowing their heads in acknowledgment. "Mandalore." They said with a deep respect, Horus gestured them to rise and they followed their leader as he continued his stride to the training arena. "Sir, you'll be pleased to know that Mandalorian warships, Basilisk war droids and all other war machines have finished production and we are ready for when we invade Coruscant."

Yes, Horus had proposed to all the rebel leaders that they were going to take this fight straight to the Impeiral capital planet itself, and that the Alliance will need to be at its full strength for such a fight. The Mandalorian's embedded in the Alliance stood as the bulk of its forces, ranging between the billions while many more millions of beings have come to join the fight and to end the Empire, but during the attack on the Coruscant? Mandalore's warriors and warships would spearhead this invasion. But, first, the Alliance was going to strip away a very vital toy from the Empire's grasp and use it against them before the invasion on the Imperial home world could commence.

Nodding in acknowledgment at his fellow Mando's words, Horus turned to that Mando and spoke. "Excellent. Has Theron and Lira prepared for the elite commandos and our assault on the Death Star?"

"Yes Mandalore, they stand ready to deploy at your command." One of the Mando's said in confirmation, Horus hummed in acknowledgement and gave orders for the group of Mando's by his side and gave them new orders. "Good. Inform the Changelings embedded in our ranks to take form of the Imperial prisoners we have locked away here and have them load up on the Imperial shuttle we've snagged. Thanks to the security clearance those prisoners possess, our Changelings will be able to board the Death Star and get our team inside for them to infiltrate." The group of Mando's bowed their heads and went off to share their leaders orders with the Changelings.

Finally reaching the training arena, Horus smiled at the sight of his children training together, Zoey wielded dual Mandalorian blasters and was shooting stun rounds at her brother, Novak however wielded a staff that was able to deflect blaster fire and the blond haired boy spun the staff behind his back and deflected the blaster bolts to harmless area of the training arena the Mando's and rebels used. Zoey then used the Force to push her brother, but he quickly planted his staff into the ground to steel his footing, while she was focussing on pushing her brother, Novak pulled out a sonic grenade and chucked it, causing to detonate and send his sister flying back with a surprised cry.

Racing to his sisters side, Novak smirked at his older sibling and shrugged. "Gotcha this time." Chuckling in disbelief, Zoey and nodded and accepted the hand her brother offered her, once back on her feet, Zoey turned to the training arenas entrance and smiled widely at the sight of Horus. "Father!" She then ran to him and the two shared a warm embrace, Novak was next and after receiving their fill of fluffy hugs, Horus broke off and smiled at his children. "So, I've ensured that we can spend the majority of our day together and get the chance to get to know you guys better." Both Zoey and Novak smiled at this information and turned back to their father as he continued speaking. "So, what do you want to do first? Training? Grab some food together? Whatever you want to do, I'm game."

Novak ran a hand through his blond hair and looked into his fathers eyes and asked. "Can we just talk and get to know each other?" Turning to Zoey, Horus raised an eyebrow at his daughter, she too nodded in agreement with her brothers words. "Alright, lets talk." Horus said with a light smile as he gestured his children to follow him outside the training arena. The Force Sentinel then asked. "What would you like to know about me?" Sharing a look, both Zoey and Novak took their fathers question into thought before the auburn haired girl asked. "How did you and mother meet?" Smiling, Horus closed his eyes and recounted every detail of his and Ashara's childhood up until now. "Well, your mother and I have been close since children, but because of my strong connection to the Force? I was taken away by a man who belonged to the Force Sentinels, the order that lives through me. We couldn't keep in touch with each other, but during the first three years of the Empire's reign? We reconnected and... well we got closer and she gave birth to you two."

Zoey blushed slightly while Novak snickered, Horus chuckled lightly before turning to his son. "So Novak, even though you aren't Force sensitive, you still have a strong connection with it. Are you content with that? Or would you like to wield the power of the Force?" Pursing his lips together, Novak dwelled on his fathers question before shrugging lightly and replying. "Honestly? I'm content without having Force powers. Ahsoka told me that the Force exists in all living things and I guess thats comforting, knowing that I can still still trust the Force, even when all else seems lost."

The trio made their way towards speeder boarded it, Horus then drove off towards a more secluded section of Tython. Turning back to his children, the Force Sentinel then asked. "So... you two have any love interests?" Both teens eyes widened slightly and saw the playful smirk on their fathers face before Zoey spoke up. "Well, Theron married one Lira and they have triplets, two girls and one son who's exactly my age, his name is Dusk Fury." Horus hummed lightly before turning his head to Novak. "What about you? I'm sure plenty of young girls around here find you attractive." The blond haired teenager chuckled lightly and nodded. "Yeah, I'm into one of Theron and Lira's daughters, her name is Dawn."

Licking his lips, Novak then asked his father. "So not only are you with our mother, but you're with Ahsoka too. Can I ask how that happened?" Horus looked over his shoulder and then focussed on landing the speeder before answering his son. "It was during the Clone Wars, my duties as a Force Sentinel were to ensure that the balance between light and dark was perfect, but every day the war between the Republic and Separatists ensued? Evil and darkness was growing in its power. So, I met Ahsoka in the Jedi temple and since then? We became close, of course such feelings are forbidden to a Jedi, so we kept our feelings to ourselves. We reunited around the same time I reunited with your mother and... we formed an intimate connection. One your mother is apart of."

Once exiting the speeder, the trio approached a massive tree that provided shade and the land mass they stood on overlooked the entire Alliance fortress and base of operations. Taking a seat and letting out a sigh, Horus watched as freighters, star fighters and Alliance ships loomed, took off and patrolled the skies above the fortress. Joining their father in the shade, Zoey turned to her father and cocked his head. "If you hadn't been born with a connection to the Force, what would you want to be?" Turning to his daughter, Horus smiled and shook his head. "I would still be a Mandalorian, I'd probably join our peoples navy and become a top notch pilot. But if I wasn't born a Mandalorian, then... I'd probably still be a pilot, that or a smuggler."

"I still find it hard to believe that Han Solo is now a general of this Alliance, even though he was once a smuggler." Novak said with amusement in his voice, Horus too hummed in a agreement. "Yeah. He's the pilot who aided in my escape from Coruscant." Running a hand through his hair, Horus asked both his offspring. "Do either of you have combat flight experience?" Both Zoey and Novak smirked at each other before the older daughter replied. "You'd be surprised what we can do." Taking that as a yes, Horus nodded and then continued. "Alright, well, when this invasion against the enemy capital begins? It'd make me feel good knowing that you two are of harms way." Horus cuts his children off before they can argue on the matter. "I understand you've had years of training under the best this Alliance has to offer, but in truth? You're both still kids and our enemies will do everything and anything in its power to snuff us all out."

"Father—"

"Uh uh, I don't want to hear it."

"We can handle ourselves!"

Horus raised an eyebrow at his children, before standing to his feet and stepping out of the shade and extended both his arms out. "Show me. Lets have a sparing match and show me that you're ready to face the Empire's best." Zoey and Novak looked at each other and nodded before standing to their feet and began to circle their father. Novak pulled out his staff which was actually made out of scales from a Zillo Beast and can even withstand lightsaber strikes, he twirled it in his hands expertly while still circling his father, Zoey activated her own yellow bladed lightsaber and narrowed her eyes on her father before pouncing.

The father merely evaded his daughters attack and back up as Zoey's lightsaber nearly grazed his neck, the daughters blade was met with Horus's black lightsaber and she was beginning to struggle against her fathers strength. Novak then leaped in the air and raised his staff high above his head, pushing his daughter back, Horus's pitch black saber came into contact with Novak's staff and withstood the lightsaber blade. Novak then whirled his staff at lightning speeds; attempting to break his fathers defense, but Horus swatted or evaded every one of his sons strikes as if it were child's play to him.

Zoey then struck at her father again, but Horus stopped his daughters attack in its tracks with his yellow bladed lightsaber, as he was halting both his children's attacks, he pushed both of them back and unleashed a Force shock wave that sent both teenagers flying and rolling around in the grass that they were previously standing on. Groaning and shaking off the pain, both Zoey and Novak saw their father twirl both his lightsabers in hand before he spoke. "The Empire is led by the Sith and their Dark Side minions-- the Inquisitors. A group of fallen Jedi or Force sensitive children abducted by their biological parents to become slaves of the Dark Side, and their mission is to snuff out any potential enemies, especially those who can wield the Force. They will be ruthless, cunning and use any method they can to achieve victory."

Getting back on their feet, Novak activated his jetpack and fired his wrist grappling line, Horus summersaulted backwards away from the line and noted how his daughter sprinted towards him and then leaped into the air with the intent of pressing an attack. Horus however used the Force to grip his son in the air and then hurled him into Zoey, causing the two teenagers to crash into each and end up a tangled pair of brother and sister.

"He's... He's as powerful as they said." Novak groaned out as he slowly detangled himself off his sister, Zoey moaned in pain but nodded in agreement with her brother before commenting. "He's just toying with us." Turning to the auburn haired girl, Novak let out a defeated sigh and shook his head. "No. He's proving his point. We aren't ready to face what the Empire has in store for us."

Deactivating his lightsabers, Horus approached his two children and placed a hand on each of their shoulders before speaking. "Its not that I doubt your abilities, you both showed impressive skill. But I don't want you to waste your lives just to prove to me that you're ready tp face our enemies." Looking into each of his children's eyes, Horus continued. "I love you both. Even though I've been absent for nineteen years? I want to be a father to you both; to help hone your skills as warriors, to be there when you need to talk to someone and to protect you from the evils of this galaxy and beyond." Both children shared a look before nodding in understanding at Horus's words.

"Yes father."

They both said in unison, letting out a sigh, Horus pulls both teenagers to his chest and hugs them with all his might, the two teens return their fathers affection and hold him close. "I love you both, think what you want but the purpose of this was to show you that you still have much to learn." Zoey nuzzled into her father chest and murmured. "Then can you teach us?" Breaking off from the embrace, Horus looked into his daughters azure eyes and smiled. "Absolutely." The trio once more drew out their respective weapons and spent the rest of the day honing their skills, getting to know each other, spending quality time together as a family and savoring what little time they had left together before the Alliance strikes back against the Empire.
