From the author.
A little elf girl named Rayla lived on the blooming planet Xadia in the Draconic sector. She had loving parents Lain and Tiadrin, who were not only the protectors of the dragon queen Zubeia, but also the king of the planet Katolis Harrow. And also friends Danya, Callum and Ezran. She often visited Katolis and Belogorye, Danya's home planet. But the peaceful time of Xadia, Katolis and Belogorye came to an end when the Empire invaded the planets.
- My moonberry, you must run, - said Tiadrin. - Dad and I are right behind you.
- Mom, - Rayla answered, - are these the people you were telling me about?
- Yes, - nodded Tiadrin. - Run, our friend will meet you.
Rayla nodded and ran along the road. Soon I saw a tall Xadian. It was Runaan.
- Hello, Runaan, - Rayla said.
- Hello, Rayla, - Runaan replied. - Get on the ship.
Then the droid army caught up with them.
- Rayla, get on the ship! - Runaan shouted, shooting at the droids with his blasters.
I was about to run into the ship, but then I noticed a figure in the cloak that my parents fought with. The figure had magic and the advantage was on its side. Suddenly, the figure raised a blue lightsaber and killed Rayla's parents.
- Mom, Dad! - Rayla screamed.
Runaan ran into the ship.
- Hold on! - Runaan screamed.
- No! - Rayla screamed. - I have to find Mom and Dad!
Rayla ran out of the ship, Runaan did not have time to stop her. Rayla ran to the place where her parents were killed. She ran and saw a boy with blond hair and gray eyes. He was kneeling next to her parents.
"Danya," Rayla said.
Rayla looked at her parents and fell to her knees next to Danya, sobbing loudly.
"Rayla," her mother said softly. "Be strong, my moonberry."
Tiadrin closed her eyes. Rayla's parents were dead. Danya hugged Rayla, and that's how a tall man in the black robes of the Empire found them.
"Don't worry," he said, "I'll help you."
The man took Rayla and Danya to his ship. When Runaan came running for Rayla, he found no one but the two bodies of his friends.
