The New Age

Chapter 25

Ch. 25 / 32 Nov 28, 2025

"We feel most alive when we are closest to death."

-Nenia Campbell

The Mos Eisley Cantina was crowded to say the least, and the outfit that Kylo had given to me was anything but my style.

It was incredibly feminine, with frilly sleeves and a tight flowered bodice. My hair hung down my sides in long waves, and the blush that was powered onto my face gave me a sweet and innocent look...which I was not.

Kylo wanted me to lead Kaiyus into a less populated area, where he was likely to make less of a scene.

I sipped on a foul, gasoline tasting beverage, and waited until I could sense his presence.

I watched as people came and went, their appearances were so unlike anything I had ever seen.

From green to blue coloured skin, from one foot tall to twelve...it was different. I continued my scouting, until I sensed it.

A...different presence. I felt the physical strength he possessed, but when I looked at him, he looked nothing like I imagined.

Instead of a middle aged harsh looking man, I saw a pale man with bleach white hair, and dark green eyes.

He, like Kylo, looked to be in his mid to late twenties, and I found that if it wasn't for his menacing scowl, he might be considered attractive.

As if sensing me, his green eyes found mine, and I remembered to turn on my innocent act, as I fluttered my eye lashes and offered him an idiotic smile.

He looked me over, and I tasted his uncertainty, I went into his mind and saw that he thought I was a whore of sorts...pretty, but too girly looking. He also didn't like the blouse I was wearing, the lemony distaste stung my tongue.

Asshole.I approached him nevertheless, remembering to keep the nice girl act on. Kylo was so going to pay for this.

"Hi there." I said with a small smile.

He looked at me, and now that I was closer I saw the dark drawings and symbols that covered his neck, and seemed to go lower down to his chest,

"Hi." He said, his voice was dark and deep.

He was close now, too close, and I had to up my act.

He had a strong physical build, but not as strong a mind, and I found it easy to read him.

He had killed many, his thoughts tasted sour and foul. I bit down on my lip and gave a regretful sigh.

"I have to go..." I said, my voice low and seductive. "Why is that?"

"My boyfriend..."I looked over to the door as if he would be there "he is expecting me."

"Really?" He took another impossible step towards me, his thoughts changed from murderous to wanting, I cringed and hated Kylo for telling me to do this.

Kylo... I said through our link What? He answered immediately. Fuck you.

It was just a little heads up, to warn him for the hell I was going to put him through for making me do this.

I looked back up at Kaiyus, "you want to come back with me? I'm sure my boyfriend won't be back for some time..."

He grinned a bleach smile, and I grasped my hand with his.

I wanted to punch the shit out of him for even touching me, let alone him thinking that he was going to get laid.

I began leading him to the stop that Kylo planned, and as Kaiyus grasped my ass while we walked, I prayed that Kylo would hurry.

KYLO REN POV

Fuck you I smirked as she shut off the link.

She was already pissed off that I had made her dress in frills and flowers, I could only imagine what I had done now.

"Just a little further baby..." I heard her say from a distance away. A growl of annoyance bubbled up, and I frowned.

Two shadows came into view, and I secured the mask around me watching as Kaiyus came into view.

Cora looked at me, and with a nod she shot Kairus s across the alley with the force and ran off to the ship to continue our plan.

"What the-" his eyes found me. He cursed under his breath.

"Kaiyus...the First Order is here to collect your service."

He was an evil looking guy, with white hair and ghostly skin.

"I didn't know the First Order had spies at such a young age...especially girls."

I laughed to myself, spies, Cora is far from a spy. She's a cold hard killer, with power that was unimaginable.

"I am here to collect your favor. Come with me." The voice in my mask was deep.

"You don't scare me Kylo Ren, and if you haven't already heard, there is a new force in the system, a more...menacing Lord."

His punk face bothered me more than I would like to admit, and I wasn't sure if I even wanted to have him help us.

"You mean me?" Cora.

She was dressed in her cape and cloak, her mask rested on her face and was covered with the hood of her cloak.

Her voice came out altered and dark.

Kaiyus looked between us, and began cursing.

"Lord Drakon." He nodded, why the fuck does he give Cora more respect than me?

"Kaiyus." Her altered voice replied.

"What is a Sith Lord as yourself, doing with a First order Lord?" she paused.

"The Sith has fallen...I am First Order" she paused and her mask shifted slightly to me "and you are going to come with us."

I grinned underneath the mask. "One condition."

"What is that?" She asked impatiently.

"Take off the mask. I know what Ren looks like, If you want me to help you without making a scene, take off the mask."

Just do it, he'll find out anyway. I said to her.

I heard the click as she took the mask off, and lowered her hood to reveal long wavy black hair, ruby red lips, and golden-blue eyes.

His face was priceless as he stared at her.

"Hello Kaiyus, it's nice to meet you again. My name is Lord Cora Drakon of the First Order."

He studied her, his face was still shocked as he tried to process everything.

"Flower girl..." He said as he studied her black cloak and boots "well this certainly suits you more. I knew you were dark before you even called me over, even I can sense it."

"Come with us." Was all she said as she looked towards me.

He looked between me and Cora, I could sense his hesitation, but he came to terms after a few moments, figuring there was no way in hell he could beat two of the most powerful lords the world has ever seen.

"Where are you going, and why do you need my help?" He asked as he continued to look at Cora.

I stepped in front of his view of her, "First we're going to pick up another...friend, and then, you're going to help us kill Luke Skywalker."
