Val-EL's arms wrapped around her waist and he held her tightly as he cried. His thoughts had become a jumble, and he looked up into Terra's face. "We prepared," he said softly between sobs. "But we hoped, and prayed that we wouldn't need to... We had searched for the Sith mastermind behind all of this in hopes of keeping this from happening. But we failed."<br/><br/>"Now so many will die," he said wipping away his tears. "The majority of the Jedi are innocent. It's the Hubris of the Jedi High Council that have caused this tragedy. But thankfully we have been able to prepare... Several of our people know what's coming. And we have a chance to get as many Jedi into hiding as possible."<br/><br/>"The Seer said that it would happen after I had found the woman whom I would love," he said looking up at her and smiling. "That is you. Now my dear padawan your master needs to feel the comfort of holding that woman in his arms. Now please allow me to show you just how good if feels to be held pocessively by someone who wants to protect and love you."
