First though, Leia will visit Fox. Across the galaxy, he is known by many things. They call him vod'alor. They call him the king of the clones, Prince of wanders. To Leia however, he will always just be Fox. [...]

Leia may not have recognised Anakin as anything but a donor, but there was more of him within her than anyone was entirely comfortable admitting. Their upbringings were so incredibly different, both before and after either of them would meet Jedi, that on a surface level, you might not notice it [...]

The conflict within Anakin, the fear it created, went long unnoticed. Left uncorrected, it would convince him to do terrible things. Leia though, she had Fox and Fox, he had noticed.

Maybe, had he been anyone else, had he known Anakin better when he was still Anakin, he might have been terrified of what she might be. But Fox hadn't Known Anakin, Fox had only known himself. Fox had long held within him, a terrible fear, that he carried something evil, that he was evil. It had eaten him up inside, the idea that he had inherited this from Jango.

Sometimes when you look in to the sky, if you get the time right, you can see whole galaxies. Each small light close enough together to look like one whole. A great swathe of light. Most of Fox's brothers, march on, far away. Pinpricks of light. But some of them, are here to remember the rest. That's what matters, at the end of things. That when you are gone, there might be someone to remember your name, your favourite colour.

The vode are a nomadic people. Most people in this galaxy have met at least one brother, in their lifetime. The vode travel and with them, they carry the stories that without them, might not be carried much longer.

They leave their mark on the galaxy with huge stone monuments, one such monument stands tall in the basin of the valley Fox calls home. [...]
