Fill The Void

Midnight followed the droid down the quiet corridor, marveling over how much his life had changed in such a short period of time.

 

It was quiet in a way that his ship was never quiet, and the beast inside of him seemed to calm down as a result. On his ship, he never knew when one of his people might turn out to be an assassin. He had almost lost count of the number of times someone tried to sneak into his room in the middle of the night and kill him.

 

Here, there were only the two of them, the rest of his men returning to the ship and flying alongside of Jun Li, and it was like with every step he took, his tense muscles loosened.

 

"Star is in here," said the droid as it came to a stop in front of a set of doors.

 

"Star?" asked Midnight, liking the name.
