He he... I like the ending.
A couple of things I'd like to adress though:
1. How old is your character?
2. The 'Ebon Hawk' was the name of one specific freighter. It wasn't a class of ship. I say this because I know some people get ancy when someone uses cannon in their story. I'd suggest looking up the class of ship the Ebon Hawk was and nameing it to fit you better.
(Remember, it's just constructive critisizm.
)
Good story otherwise...
Oh and I like the pics you put at the start of each chapter.
