Alcmène Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 As they set down on the planet surface, she pulled herself up and out of the cockpit, stretching her arms and shoulders as she followed Vox and his compatriot out of the shuttle and onto the densely thicketed ground. She let the force flow through her for a moment, centering herself, before she pointed to one of the jumbled ruins that jutted out of the Jungle foliage. “Those are the ancient Sith Temples that was are looking for. There are supposed to hordes of lightsaber crystals in the depths of their vaults.” She smiled widely and pointed to the outline of the Gas Giant Yavin that shone a blue orange in the dusk sky. “Or we can go there, into the crushing depths, where the planet itself forges crystals in its atmospheres. Which will you choose?” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcmène Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 The thick atmosphere buffeted the light shuttle as they made the short hop from the jungle moon of Yavin IV to the gas giant of Yavin itself. It had long been a place where dreams and visions had coalesced. Only a few decades ago, the duel worlds had been a part of the illusive League of Augrey. Whose jedi knights had planned their great strike at the Last Death Star. Though those knights had brought an end to Deton’s empire, none of them had ever returned. Their bodies remaining in the ruins of Helix Station, and a swath of prophecy left unfulfilled. Alcmene let her eyes drift closed as they began the dive towards the pale red surface of the gas giant. What doom did this system hold? Stretching back the centuries, the first rebel alliance had made the system their base of operations for both the strike on Sacrif and the First Death Star. With The first Jedi Academies returning a few years later. And before that? Massassi and their master Exar Kun. Now here they were. Prospecting for corusca gems in the depths of the gas giant itself. They were outside history. Walking as tiny ants in its great shadow. The ship shuddered as they passed from one layer to the next, buffeting through the swirling winds. She reached out and thumbed the autoglide feature and flicked open the cargo bay doors. Then she walked back to where her apprentice was waiting. She gave him a grin. “So do you want to learn how to fly?” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcmène Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Alcmène felt a grin creep over her face. . She reached down to her utility belt and did a quick check for her rebreather, and finding it, she looked back up at the Trandoshan. It was time for him to dive into the force face first. Learning a lesson the same way she had when she had been a youngling on a crashing starship. “Not fly like that Vox.” She took one step forward. “Like this.” Her booted foot lashed out and slammed into his chest and she kicked him bodily out of the transport into the swirling gasses below. Then without another hesitation she lept after him. The Transport banking and veering slowly after them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcmène Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 She kept perfectly still as the fierce winds buffeted her small form, tearing at the edges of her crimson tunic and whipping her hair free from its containing golden circlet. She kept her eyes closed, relying on the force itself to guide her through the storm. She could feel her apprentice, the way his mind was working to conquer fear, and how he reached out to the force. He was doing well, better than she had thought. But she had always underestimated him. She projected her voice through the storm, guiding it to his ears as she did so. “You are doing well apprentice. Now find the flow of the winds, feel how they pull you, follow their current.” Everything in nature had a connection to the force, and he would find that they would guide him to where he wanted to go, to what he wanted to find, if he trusted in them and in the force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcmène Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 “Well done!” Her voice came through the horrible wind as she followed her apprentice at a distance. The Shuttle looming up above them as its AI tracked them through her comm link. It was amazing to watch the Trandoshan work, and such a connection to the force was something to treasure. “Now reach into the force and find what you are searching for.” The illusive Corusca gems were here in the clouds of yavin, buffeted up from the crushing depths of core, and if the force would lead her apprentice, he would find just the one he needed for his lightsaber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcmène Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The Jedi knight smiled softly at the trandoshan apprentice as he showed his gem. A magnificent Crystal formed eons ago in the very heart of the gas giant. It had its own history, much like the great trees on Kashyyyk. In which the scholars said, you could read the entire history of republic to empire, to republic again, back to the very beginning’s of humanity. One compact ring upon the other, each telling a billion different stories of life of death, honor and dishonor, of grand crusades against the nameless foe, of disastrous defeats, the great highs and great lows of humanity. Who knew what this crystal had seen? Is it been there for Exar Kun, his defeat and massacre, of Jedi councils long dead, of rebellion against empire, of death stars and brutal reprisal. Every eon of time leaving little mark on the pale gem as it lay in wait for the Jedi Apprentice.waiting for when the force would choose it for this purpose. She smiled and stood. “There is little else I can teach you friend, other than to tell you to make your lightsaber. I will give you the quiet you need as I plot a path back home.” The pointed to the cargo bay of the small shuttle which was stuffed with a multitude of tools, equipment, and all one would need for the task. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcmène Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Oh how the force moved with him. She felt a grin crawl across her face as they began the voyage home. How would his life turn out? How would the force lead him through his journeys? A thousand such questions swirled throughout her mind as the white lines of stars turned into the blue walls of the hyperspace tunnel. She meditated on his journey as she sat there in silence. Saying the silent prayers of the church of Outremer as she let the concerns of her life flow off of her. Finding the balance. Seeing without eyes. “It is done.” “So it is.” She stood and embraced the trandoshan fully. Hugging him tightly for a moment before letting him go. “Now you must find your own way, Jedi Knight Vox. I am so proud of you.” ((Here I will be leaving you. Thank you for the opportunity to train you for these many months. Welcome to the Order.)) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
