18 years later

A little over 18 years have passed since Rowol and Meilsa have been born. Since then, the galaxy has been through a lot. The new republic has liberated many systems from the imperial remnants. So much so that the last imperials have retreated to the outer rim and adopted a new name. The first order.
But that is nothing for you to worry about. You are just a simple port manager trying to make traffic in your little port run as smooth as possible. Something that you have been successful in and are very proud of.
In those 20 years you didn’t make too much use of you mind powers. Sure, you did occasionally use it to prevent a bad situation from escalating, or even used it to ‘convince’ your son and daughter do their chores and take their studies seriously. You have even been able to improve on your abilities to send commands by whisper and mind control 2 people at once. Though you were never able to learn any other **** powers. Sometimes you wonder just how powerful a **** wielder you would have become if you accepted Luke’s offer. But if you did, you would not have been able to pleasure yourself with all these travelers passing through your spaceport. At any rate, you are happy with what you have.

A few days ago, the big boss had called a meeting of several of his port managers in Coronet city. Corellia’s capital. You managed to use the gathering to ‘convince’ your peers to put extra funding into your spaceport and even expand it with extra landing platforms. With more ships landing at a time, it should pull more trade to your town and provide more jobs. It is your way of helping out from the shadows.
Since the meeting went so well, you’re coming back a day earlier. You didn’t tell anyone of your earlier arrival though. You wanted to surprise them. Especially Meilsa. You found some Pantoran art in Coronet city and you thought she might like it. It may have already been a month since you celebrated her 18th birthday, but it probably won’t harm giving her an extra present.
But when you arrive home you can’t find your children. It’s not a school day so maybe they went out? But as you go to the second floor you hear some weird noises.
