Corellia

[Zane Arclyte]

Tia almost went to stop DJK, but Zane held a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. I think he's got somethin' on his mind. He always does.

 

"So! How're things on the old homestead?" He kept a cheerful face towards his wife. He didn't know what was on DJK's mind, but it probably related to the cave incident. He paid little mind to it, and would deal with it later.

 

"Oh, usual routine. Things have been rather quiet, especially compared to the lifestyle of Mr. Big Jedi Knight," she teasingly prodded his more toned stomach.

 

"Almost knight, love, almost knight." The two sat down, and talked about everything. Zane shared all his stories of the last several months away, putting grand geastures into the air with his arms. He told her how he was advancing in the Force techniques, how he had gone to many corners of the galaxy in search of Jedi Masters to teach him, and how close he was to being ready to take his trials. He showed her his crystal, and explained something of what he would use it for.

 

"That's quite a story," she said, a little surprised.

 

"Isn't it? I'm only sorry you couldn't come along."

 

"Hah hah, someone around here has to be practical and give you somewhere to come back to when yer adventures get tiring."

 

"Ah you'd have loved it, y'know you would have. How's the...y'know?"

 

"Oh, a lot better. It wasn't good there for awhile, but it's a lot better now." She nodded reassuringly.

 

"That's great," he smiled, relieved. He kissed her cheek and looked closely into her eyes. "I'm very glad..."

 

"Y'didn't need to go through any sorta trouble after all," she responded almost with a whisper. "I'm better now."

 

"I'm glad I did. I feel like that first moment I laid eyes on you, all over, all the time. Just that peaceful, when I put my mind on it." She smiled some more to meet his.

 

"Are we..."

 

"Yeah. Just like I promised, m'kay? I always keep my promises to pretty girls."

 

"Mm."

 

He kissed her again, longer this time. Her hand ran through the hair on the back of his skull, and her other hand intertwined fingers with his. "...Just like I remembered. Still as sweet."

 

"Mm, mmhmm." She nodded, biting her lower lip.

 

For a long moment, they looked into each others starlit eyes, feeling Zane's force energy run between them through their skin. They didn't say anything for awhile, until after Zane kissed Tia once more and stood up. "I'm going to have to work on that lightsaber project for awhile as long as I'm here," he said, "but I promise we'll make the most out of the time we have before my Trials."

 

"I know. Why don't you call your friend, er, your master to dinner later; It'll be about an hour before it's done." She stood up too, matching his height only by pushing herself up on her toes to kiss his cheek.

 

"Sounds good. I'll be back soon then, need to handle a few things." Zane left the apartment once again, seeking to get some things out of his ship and also to find his master again.

[Zara Nargal]

Zara looked up from the manifest, catching sight of her brother out of the corner of her eye.

 

"Thought you'd still be busy bro... how'd things go with Brina?"

 

She caught onto his mood, placing down her datapad and moving to hug her brother,

 

"Not good huh? She doesn't know what she's missing out on, if she's got any brains she'll be back."

[Brina Thalin]

The problem for Brina was that she had no idea if the casino was being built here or someplace else. Seeing Kat turn away from her and head off, she had a horrible feeling. She hated the idea that she had hurt him...and knew deep down that she might have made the wrong choice.

 

She would live with her choices, but she didn't think she could stay here much longer. The thought turned her feet back to the Crazy Mynock. She liked working for the Link--it was probably the best job she had had in years. But she couldn't stand the thought of being around him much longer.

 

On board her ship, she started the engines and serached for a spare datapad. She found one, and left a message for her employers.

 

Kat and Zara,

 

By now, you will realize that I have gone. Where does not matter. Just know that it is my decision. Working for your company was one of the best things I've done in my life, and I want to thank you. But I must tender you with my resignation.

 

Zara, I am sorry that I didn't get the chance to know you better . You're a wonderful person, and I hope you find happiness with your pirate.

 

She hesitated. She felt she had to leave a message for Kat, but she had no idea what to say. She finally settled on something simple:

 

Kat, I'm sorry things didn't work out. But I think it's better this way...at least now, you will be able to forget about me. I didn't mean to hurt you.

 

She left it unsigned, knowing that both would know instantly who it was from. She then left it outside the Panther in a place where they would see it.

 

With that, she reboarded her ship, and the Mynock blasted out of the hanger and off of Corellia into space.

[Zero]

Dhan-Jaroe felt Zane's presence nearby, and without turning around, he addressed him.

 

"She seems like a very nice person. I'm happy for you two."

 

"I've recently been looking into the lightsaber forms, and I noticed the 7th one. The style interested me and I was reading up on it as much as I could. The VIIth form's most notable users were Darth Maul and Mace Windu, Windu extended it with Vapaad. Form VII edges tightly on the dark side of the force; a jedi must enjoy the fight. The darkness in the cave fueled me, and my knowledge of Form VII, although never put to practice, escaped and attacked you. You could've died Zane, had I persisted."

 

He turned around.

 

"I forsee you becoming a very powerful Jedi Master, training Jedi that will make a difference in the Order. I just hope you remember all I taught you about the Order's politics. If you sense a problem within the order, you must fix it; don't wait for someone else to do it, because they won't. Now... finish your lightsaber, we leave in the morning."

[Zane Arclyte]

Zane listened well to his master's words. As most everything about Dhan-Jaroe, they were complementary as well as realistic, almost grim. When he was done, Zane bowed to his master. "I'll prove you right about me, Master Kenobi. I dunno if I ever told you this, but it's been a great privilege training with you, an' I feel like I should thank you for all the wisdom you've imparted in me. So, thanks, I mean it. Even for that shot in the leg." He grinned, chuckling.

 

Zane turned to leave, but he looked over his shoulder first. "I think one day, you'll be happy for yourself too." He raised his hand to wave back as he left. "Don't forget to stop by for dinner if yer hungry; Tia has a habit of making more than enough for the two of us!"

 

**********

 

Zane entered his apartment to the sounds and smells of food being made. "MMM-Mmm! Now that's something I've missed!" He went to the kitchen and smooched Tia on the cheek. "Nice and garlic-y, just the way I like it." He rested his chin on his wife's shoulder and wrapped an arm around her waist. Neither of these interfered with her stirring of the sauce for her roasted Corellian rock squirrel.

 

"Oh I see how it is, you love me just to get some of my cooking free!" He chuckled. "We'll have to see about you. Is your master coming to dinner?"

 

"He'll prolly be along sometime. Not sure when."

 

"I'll make a little extra just in case. What'd you talk to him about?"

 

"He said that, long as I remember what he explained about the politics of the Jedi Order, I'll become a very capable Jedi Master, an' that I'll have a hand in training people who will make differences in the Order."

 

"Hehe. Never thought my little Zane would go a gambler and come back some big shot politician-type."

 

"Hah. Gonna be awhile before that happens love, but everywhere I go will be up from here." He kissed her again. "I need to get on my lightsaber building, tell me when dinner's ready?"

 

"Course." He left her side and went into the bedroom, dumping the bits of lightsaber onto the desk in the corner. He took off his coat, draping it over the back of his chair, and put his crystal alongside the other parts. Upon calming his inner self down, he started working.

[Zero]

Dhan-Jaroe re-entered the kitchen as Zane was leaving.

 

"You know, not all Jedi have humble beginnings. I was a frequent drinker and a former bounty hunter before I became what I am. Jedi are trained to be self-righteous, but I will not doubt that I am looked upon highly by members of the order. Gamblers and drunks are prone to taking chances. So keep in mind, the ones that are crazy enough to think they can change the galaxy... are the ones that do."

 

He grinned.

 

"Zane invited me to dinner, and I must say... it's been ages since i enjoyed something Corellian outside of Ale." He chuckled, although his mind was still wandering.

[Kat Nargal]

Not saying anything to zara, he simply hugged her back, trying to find some peace in the hug. After a while, he drew back, and said

 

"Im going to go for a walk. Check on the casino's progress. Ill come find you in a little while."

 

Walking out of the panther, kat didnt go to check the casino. Instead, he stumbled across a certain datapad, and upon reading its content, went to do what heartbroken men do best. Drink.

[Zane Arclyte]

Tia smiled over her shoulder at Dhan-Jaroe as she finished up the roast and put it in the oven. "Well I won't disappoint you on the food front. My husband's a fan at least.

 

"An' they don't come much crazier than Zane, that's for sure. He's got one of the shortest attention spans I've ever seen in a man; he gets a bug in his pants anytime he sees somethin' shiny, somethin' exciting, he just runs on after it like a kid inna toy store. I haven't ever seen 'im like this before, though. He...I don't know, feels different?"

 

Her eyes averted to the bedroom door, which was closed, then back to Dhan-Jaroe. "I know he's changed, that's for sure. He seems so much calmer, more focused. I dunno what Jedi use to train their people, but y'all sure helped him grow up." She turned away a few moments, silently coughing.

 

"Feel free to make yourself at home. The roast will be ready fairly soon."

 

******************

 

After dinner, and in fact long after his wife had gone to bed, Zane worked tirelessly on completing his saber before his morning departure. He clicked the last parts into place, and took one last admiring look at his handiwork. He had made the grip be curved a little bit, as he had found the straight canister-type grips to be a bother in long duels. He gripped it to test this, and it fit like a glove. He aimed it off to the side, so that the blade wouldn't damage anything, and flicked the switch.

 

A now-familiar hiss, and the room became filled with greenish-blue light. He rolled his wrist to see the balance of the blade, and found it to be to his liking. It had worked. He was ready.

 

Zane turned off the lightsaber, and placed it on the desk. After disrobing himself, he quietly and carefully snuck into bed with Tia so as to not disturb her. That too, worked, and he kissed her on the back of her neck just before he snuggled into sleep against her.

 

*****************

 

Early the next morning, as Zane and his master were halfway out the door, Zane felt a gaze. He looked over and saw Tia, arms crossed, standing in the bedroom door with a robe on.

 

He turned to face her. "I have to-"

 

She cut him off. "I know. I'm not mad, I understand. But at least take something with you?"

 

"What's that?" She held up a package, a brilliant, though deep blue, wrapped up in string. When he walked to her and took it, he gave her a goodbye kiss. She prolonged it as much as he'd let her, but after a bit they knew they had to let go.

 

"You come back in one piece."

 

He grinned. "Don' worry. I'll be back in your arms in no time." He left her, standing in the bedroom door, though just as he closed the main door he heard a small, muffled cough. He shook it off, and closed the door the rest of the way.

 

"Always breaks my heart, havin' to go away like this..."

 

He and his master got to their ships and headed for Rafa V.

[Zara Nargal]

Zara watched Kat leave, heard him pause then head outside. Knowing it wasn't a good time for him to be alone, specially when she saw the contents of the datapad that her brother had picked up then dropped. Feeling lonely herself from missing her Pirate King, she followed. She saw him enter a bar and hesitated only slightly before heading in as well, pulling up a chair next to him she signalled the bartender for another of what her brother was having.

 

"Bottoms up eh bro"

 

She downed her drink just as fast as her brother, it had been ages since the pair had been out on a binge, both probably needed it just as bad as the other.

 

"You know, I miss Ronin probably as much as you miss Brina right now. Look, she'll be back... I just know it. Take it easy on yourself."

 

She went to take another sip of her second drink, dropping the drink and crying out as her hands flew to clutch her leg,

 

"Ronin"

 

She gasped his name, almost falling to the floor as the pain in her own leg throbbed. It lasted only a few heartbeats but she just knew that something was wrong. Something had happened to her lover. She didnt know how she knew, but she did know it within her heart that he'd been injured somehow. She grabbed Kat's arm, she the twin that needed the comfort now.

 

"Somethings happened to him, I just know it. Oh Kat, I don't even know where he is!"

[Kat Nargal]

Having downed the equivelant of an entire bottle of correllian whiskey without saying a word, Kat was finally roused out of his drunken stupor by his sisters strangely troubling experience. Even more strangely troubling was the fact that he felt a very slight twinge in his own leg, a split second before she had cried out. Ignoring that fact, he said drunkenly

 

"Zara... Ro... Ronin is a big boy. He kno... He knows how to take care of... of... of... HIMSELF!" Despite his absolutely trashed level of speech, he still managed to pull himself out of his seat, and pull his sister into a hug, possibly squeezing her too hard. Ordering 4 more shots of corellian whiskey for himself, Kat downed them one after the other, steadily drinking himself into oblivion.

[Zara Nargal]

Zara hugged her brother back, now not in the mood to drink but very much worried about Ronin. Why she thought something had happened to him she wasn't sure, but her leg had felt like it had been dipped in molten carbonite. It still had a slight throb around the knee. Pulling up the leg of her trousers she couldn't even see a mark there so it wasn't her injury she was feeling. She shook her head, watching as Kat downed his shots.

 

Her comm link beeped and she snatched it up immediately hoping that it was Ronin. It wasn't. It was however a message got let them know the casino was ready.

 

"Come on Kat, lets go check it out, you can drown your sorrows there."

 

She thought about sending a comm to Ronin but decided that he might not be in a position to receive it. Sighing to herself and wishing that he would contact her, Zara grabbed hold of her brother's arm, dragging him out of the bar to where their new casino was located, taking a shuttle up to it.

[Zane Arclyte]

Zane came into the starport on Corellia and collected his things. He made a stop or two among the spare parts shops in the marketplaces nearby the starport to get ahold of some things he'd need for his new hobby. Any number of things he could retrofit into the parts he needed, and other things he picked up were purely out of interest in their artistic merit.

 

Once he finished shopping, he returned home once again, this time with the intention of staying for longer than one day. "Honey I'm home!" he called out to the walls of his apartment. There was no answer. He dropped off his bag of parts onto the couch. "Tia?" He went into the kitchen and bedroom, and found her sleeping quietly in bed, twitching in place. It seemed she was having a bad dream, as there was a gentle whisper on her quivering lips. It was imperceptable to most ears.

 

Zane watched her for a few moments, smiling. He then took off the outer layer of his clothes, leaving himself in a light sleeveless shirt and boxers, and very carefully laid down in bed alongside his wife's back. He listened to his wife's breathing and gentle whispers, and wrapped his arm around her slender middle. She continued to whisper and twitch a bit, but soon she quieted down. Zane kissed the back of her head, and she relaxed against him subconsiously.

 

Tomorrow he would work on lightsabers. Right now, he would sleep with his wife. That is where he belonged for the moment, until he was called back to take his Knight trials. He would keep himself busy enough for certain; he wouldn't give up his dream, his passion for becoming a Jedi, and he wouldn't give up an ounce of his training, but he also wished to do the right thing by Tia.

 

Tomorrow he would figure out what the Force was trying to tell him about itself.

[Zane Arclyte]

OOC: OMGLOLZ TEH DUBLE POST

 

IC:

 

Zane woke up in the arms of his wife who had found a way of twisting around in her sleep to cling to his chest. He grinned and kissed her forehead, and watched her eyes open to pierce his. She snuggled in again with a smile on her face. "Haha. Come on sweetheart, I have things to do today." She rubbed her nose against his chest, as if shaking her head side to side. "I know, I dun wanna get up either. But I've got work I gotta do."

 

"More important than this?"

 

Zane looked rather annoyed. "Come on, you know that's not how it is."

 

"Of course not.."

 

"Tia." She looked up at him; the firm nature of his voice, coupled with a look in his eye, took her aback. "Nothing's more important than what we have. But there are things I need to do that are important too; if those don't get done, then I'm not being the kind of Jedi I should be. You know this."

 

She was silent for a long moment, propped up so she could look at him right. "Zane..."

 

"I love you."

 

She fell silent again. "I love you too, but-"

 

"Then don't worry. I'm going to fix myself up a new lightsaber or two, I'ma still be here y'know, right within talking distance."

 

"...I know." She reached up and kissed his lips, and then shifted over so he could get up out of bed. He rose and got himself clothed in something respectable and set himself up at his desk with his bags of parts and his crystals. He focused a moment, and started to build himself a new lightsaber.

[Draj Haerin]

Draj flew his ship in from hyperspace, allowing autopilot to land. He stepped out and surveyed his surroundings. He'd seen better.

 

Draj located the nearest grouping of houses, and grabbed a random person. "I'm looking for a Zane Arclyte. You know'em?"

 

The man, too scared to speak, pointed to Draj's left. The bounty hunter thanked him and put him down. The man walked quickly away.

 

Finally, after many other person-grabbings, Draj found an apartment complex. He located the name he was looking for, and hit the ringer.

 

Inside Zane's apartment, an alert rang, letting him know someone was at the door.

[Zane Arclyte]

Zane looked up from his half-built lightsaber in response to the doorbell. "Sweetie could you see who it is?"

 

Tia went over to the door, opened it, and saw a heavily armed Mandalorian before her. A bit taken aback, she called behind her to the bedroom, "Um...I believe it's for you."

 

Zane came out and looked towards the man standing in his doorway. "Hey there. Can I help you with something?"

[Draj Haerin]

Draj looked at the man standing before him, and knew it was Arclyte.

 

"You have buisness on the Jedi world. I was payed to tell you this. Should you require help, I'll be available for a fee."

[Zane Arclyte]

"I always have business with the Jedi," Zane smirked. "Be more specific."

[Draj Haerin]

"I'm not quite sure, but my information tells me that a showdown is happening. It might not even be on that planet anymore, but the last I heard it was on the Jedi academy on Coruscant. It may be moved, I wasn't well informed." Draj shifted his weight, and waited for Zane's response.

[Zane Arclyte]

Zane's smirk became a grimace. More infighting? Great, just what we all need... "Being led by the blind as usual, I guess. Okay, leave it to me, I guess I'll figure out what's going on when I get there. Thanks for the info." He stalked into the bedroom and got redressed once Draj left. His wife followed him. "I swear, sometimes, I'm more mature than the lot of them put together sometimes."

 

Tia cautioned, "How'll you defend yourself if your lightsaber isn't done yet?"

 

"There's more than one way to protect myself, sweetheart, don't worry about it." He laced up his boots and threw his gloves on, and started out after quickly smooching her goodbye. He would have drawn out the fond farewell but something was urging him on.

 

He blasted off in his ship once he could.

[Draj Haerin]

Once Draj was satisfied that the info had been transferred, he left back for his target, in Coruscant.

[Tekkan Raas]

"What is it about Corellia..."

 

Tekkan Raas had been sitting in the public garden for quite some time... and by that, roughly fifteen minutes. Still, punctuality usually wasn't his thing, but it had been far too long since he last embraced her, so long in fact he couldn't remember the last time they were together. The Hunter sat casually against the base of a tree, his left leg straight out in front of him and his right leg upright and bent at the knee; his right forearm resting against it.

 

"The one occasion I'm actually on time and she ends up being late. Ain't that a turn around."

 

Bringing his hand to his mouth he took a slow drag from his cigarette and held the smoke in his mouth for a moment or two, slowly exhaling it through his nostrils. She was near... he could feel it... but not near enough for him.

[Alora]

Alora set down at the landing pad that she had previously on her last visit to Corellia. She sauntered in to where Syn still was in the living area.

 

"I have a task for you Syn. Find a large heat furnace, one of the large factories should have one. I want you to use your anger, your aggression and your hate. Focus your dark force energies and create your crystal. Your crystal is part of you. This crystal will be used in the construction of your saber. When you have finished that task return here to the ship. You will find the componants you will require to construct the saber in the hold. There is also a work bench there. When you have completed your saber I want you to meditate on it until I return."

 

With those instructions set she headed out to find Tekkan, approaching him with her violet eyes sparking.

 

"Sorry I'm late love, meant to get here sooner."

 

Alora slipped her arms around him, holding Tekkan close as she opened herself to him fully.

 

"I've missed you so much!"

[Tekkan Raas]

As Alora wrapped her arms around him, Tekkan draped his free arm across her shoulders and pulled her close as she took a seat beside him on the ground. Taking one last drag of his cigarette, he put it out against the base of the tree and leaned his face towards Alora and kissed her...his Sith vixen exhaling the smoke from his mouth as their lips parted.

 

"Just as I missed you...but we have to be on the move once again. I've got some business to take care of at the Golden Link, and I'd like for you to accompany me there."

 

He closed his eyes, centering his thoughts on Alora as she opened herself up to him through the Force. Such a variety of colors and emotions were flooded into his mind, his sub-conscious connection to the Force separating them into recognizable information. There were thoughts and other auras about her, in a sense she "tasted" different from the last time he saw her.

 

"...and your apprentice is welcome to come if he so wishes."

 

A coy grin crossed his face as he finished his sentence.

 

"What, you think you Sith Lords are the only ones that know how to better tune their Force senses? A little practice helps better everything, which reminds me, we need to catch up with many things."

 

The coy grin turned into a devious smirk as he let his last few words linger with a pause...

[Alora]

Alora snuggled against her love, eager to be with him as much as he with her.

 

"You have learnt more since we were together last. Yes I have an apprentice now. I'll... keep him busy while we are. When did you want to leave?"

 

She grinned at Tekkan, kissing him deeply. Yes, this was much better than that Jedi could ever effect her... his memory briefly tarnishing her mood. Their kiss ended and she gazed out at the bushes that surrounded the park, muttering under her breath,

 

"Darn Jedi scumbag..."

 

Looking back at Tekkan's enquiring look she firstly shook her head, then decided not to keep anything from him after all,

 

"I fought a Jedi at Borleais. He tried to convert me across." That thought left a sour taste in her mouth. The fact that she had felt lust there disolved now that she was back with her lover. Tekkan was so much more to her than that Jedi could ever be.

 

--edit --

 

The couple made their way back to the ship, Alora sensing that Syn hadn't left as yet. She sent him a silent message to stay where he was, that he could do his task at Mimban instead.

 

The lovebirds headed for the cockpit and went through the preflight before lifting off and heading to the Golden Casino.

[darth anubis]

Seleck idoly wandered along the streets of corellia unsure of where to go his appereance always drew vicious stares from those around him his black robed form drew all sorts of negative attention and this only served to infuriate the young Kel Dor his anger was building inside of him.

[Nahstaa]

Nahstaa's ship dropped out of hyperspace, slowly cruising down into the atmosphere. In the cockpit, nahstaa lay back, wondering exactly why the force had inspired him to come here. Sending a set of fake identification codes to the corellian space traffic control, he was granted landing rights, and set down on a public dock, he left the boarding ramp up, and moved to his quarters.

 

Doubting that his full battle armour would go down too well with corellian authorities, he carefully stepped out of it, leaving it standing on its own. Donning a black trenchcoat, he clipped his saber's onto his belt, before lowering the ramp, and making his way into the streets of corellia.

 

As he made his way through the streets, he caught a glimpse of a boy (Darth Anubis) walking down a small alleyway, and acting on no more than a hunch, turned down the alley, following unseen by the boy. Approaching carefully, and using the force to mask his footsteps, he gently reached out in the force around him, and directed his senses to the boy's presence. Within a few seconds, it was clear to him exactly why the force had pushed him to come here...

 

Silently leaping into the air, he landed with a deep thud right infront of the man. Winking at him, he extended the needle protruding from one of his mechanical hands, and jabbed it into the boy's neck, injecting a strong sedative into him. Retracting the needle into his arm, nahstaa picked the boy up, and slung him over his shoulder.

 

Making his way back to the ship, he boarded and put the boy into a cage, , pulling an array of swords and blades off of him, and putting them into a locker. Locking the boy in, he went to the cockpit and took off, jumping into hyperspace as soon as he could.

[Nepharius Fontaine]

Atop one of Corellia's tallest buildings, Nepharius Fontaine looked across the sky to a wide complex in which his valuable research was done.

 

"Sure, just give me the thing." He told his secretary.

 

She handed him a piece of paper. Taking the closest pen, he did not hesitate and immediately signed his name on the bottom.

 

Fontaine recited the words to himself, and to his secretary (though she'd been the one that wrote the document...)

 

Executive Order 599-7. All decisions herewithin are agreed upon by the CEO, CFO, and Board of Regents... and approved by the workers union of ISTS Corp. All rights reserved in accordance with intergalactic workmanship laws.

 

Fontaine paused, looking once more out the nearby window.

"So let me get this straight. They want MORE power?"

 

He placed an official seal under his handwritten name. "Here, then. And see that this situation gets taken care of... I'll want no more demands from either party, the Union or the Board."

 

"Yes sir." The woman replied.

 

"And Mara --- have my ship prepared."

[Reagan McGreggor]

Finally returning to her home after many months away with Jarret, she had left him safely hidden with her adoptive parents to be cared for so that she could continue with her business. Looking about the house, she realizes that Faust had been there, and she missed him. Sitting down in her office, plans to locate Faust take form...

 

Sending orders to her businesses, she checks accounts and consolidates everything and has things begun to close up the house and load up her ship. She knew something was wrong, but she didn't know what or even where to begin... but she knew that Faust was in the middle of something and she knew she needed to be there.

 

She was unsure how she knew he would need her help... but she knew that she would get there...

[Fynn Relmis]

The Destiny's Dream exited Hyperspace above the dark side of Corellia. The worlds' cities shined like small jewels on the planted surface. The beauty of the planet impressed Fynn, but they weren't here for sightseeing. He recoreded a short message and sent it to his master without delay. He was eager to see her again, to share with her what he had learned.

 

Finishing the message, Fynn sent it, hoping that location of Yavin would be close enough to recieve the message quickly. They weren't in any danger here, but with the Sith, there was no guarantees. "Now we see if Master Skye is going to answer." Fynn said to Horus as he reentered the cockpit.

[Skye Organa]

**encrypted comm to Fynn Relmis **

 

I'm on my way to Corellia now, meet me at these co-ordinates [insert here] This is the location of my Mother's forest retreat. The Draygo's will also be meeting us there. Make sure my medical bay is set to receive a patient. Have I-Nine prep my surgery ready for when I get there.

 

Master Organa Out.

 

**end comm**

 

-------------

 

Later:

 

The Starweaver arrived over Corellia, Skye piloted it down to the open field not far from her Mother's home. She placed a cloak over her wings, though it looked like she did have something on her back. Using the force to help unload the ship of her luggage, she carried her son over to the house, calling out for her mother as she got to the door. Talia Organa was very excited to see her daughter, even more so when she took Amon from her arms, gushing over her grandson.

 

Skye went back to collect her luggage, also setting the StarWeaver to return to Tzeentch. She picked up the luggage then joined her mother on the verandah, turning to observe the ship lifting off from the field and quickly disappearing from sight. The Destiny's Dream and the Draygo's ship should be able to fit on the field side by side.

 

The two women went inside then, Skye having to explain why she now had wings as she removed her cloak. Talia was shocked though had come to expect the strange things had been happening with her daughter. Skye also had to gently explain that her "two" year old daughter was more like an 18 year old, time having been sped up by her 'God' father.

 

"I'm expecting our third child too Mother. I don't know if Morgana will be along or not, she has gone off on her own for a while." Skye smiled gently, watching Talia and Amon, the latter giggling as he looked up at his grandmother. "You will meet my latest padawan, along with the padawan of another I trained. I also have a patient being brought here. I'm afraid to say... Nahstaa has turned back to the darkside of the force. He was the cause of this patient's injury."

 

Mother and daughter caught up while they were waiting for the others to arrive.
