"It's so beautiful here." You and Leia strolled amongst the trees, knowing that it would not be safe for long but taking advantage of the peace that you did currently have. Her hands ran along the bark and brushed through some of the lower hanging leaves. "It's just so nice to feel the sunlight on my skin. It reminds me so much of home."

You could only agree with her, the vibrant greens sat against the deep reds in the trees, the heavy fauna filtered the sunlight into rays that danced around in tight formations in the cool breeze.

"You must miss your home; I truly am sorry that somebody has had to go through everything that you have."

"It's quite alright, it hasn't been all bad." She stopped and rested her leg on one of the higher tree roots, you followed suit and before you knew it many minutes had passed but neither of you could bring yourselves away from the tranquillity.

"I have been able to travel over more of the galaxy in my early years than most people will in a lifetime, granted I haven't always been to the nicest of planets. Not every planet is an Endor, everywhere has it's own special beauty though."

"I suppose so. Do you ever wish you could change the past? Have somebody else take your shoes and you just live a normal life." She chuckled to herself before continuing to walk down the pristine, yet overgrown path.

"I don't think I ever would have had a normal life. Adventure seems to call out to me no matter where I am or what I am doing. Besides, for every heartless fiend I have had the displeasure of meeting, I've met a thousand good. The universe will always find a way for the good to prevail, it may not seem that way and maybe it won't seem that way for a long time from now, but good will always come out the winner." She reached out her hand to you, which you grasped onto as tenderly as you could. "If there is good, there has to be bad. The universe has always needed and will always need balance."

"How can you be so sure though? That we will win?"

"I have to be. If I lose hope then my people will lose hope and only then will the dark prevail, but if we have sunlight and we have hope... they don't stand a chance."
