Chapter 1: Introductions
"Admiral Onasi, the Jedi Exile is here sir."
"Thank you. Send her in."
Wow she looks so small and helpless Carth thought as the tiny Jedi made her way across the room. I've heard many stories about her but it's hard to believe that she was a hero in the Madalorian Wars. Even though she was in Jedi robes, Carth could plainly see her femininity. Her belts were tied around a curvaceous waste and although he was aware of her…other features…he dared not look for fear that she might notice. As Carth extended his hand to the hooded figure that stood before him she pulled back her hood and wave of long dark blonde hair cascaded down her back in delicate curls. Her eyes rose to meet his and Carth caught himself short of breath. They were a brilliant blue that even the clearest ocean would envy. Her lips were full and she was smiling as he stood up to greet her. "Nice to meet you ma'am. I'm Carth Onasi."Wow...
"Please, call me Kianna," she said as she lifted her hand to meet his.
"Kianna... Ok well Kianna, I just wanted to say thank you. I wasn't here the last time Telos was in trouble and if it wasn't for you I'm not sure we could've made it through this. We are indebted to you," Carth said with a smile on his face.
"I couldn't just sit by and do nothing, Admiral. I'm just glad I was here in time to help out," Kianna said returning the smile.
"I must admit, you aren't exactly what I was expecting." But I can't say I'm disappointed...
"Oh really?" She raised her eyebrow. "And just what were you expecting?"
"Well, I don't really know. Just..."
"Someone a little tougher looking," she suggested.
"Well yes, I guess." He chuckled a little bit.
"I think you'll come to find that I am a lot tougher than I look. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean that I can't take care of myself!"
"Hey hey now! I didn't mean it like that! Trust me. I do not doubt your capabilities. You are the only person I know who could single-handedly take down a Sith Lord and his ship."
Kianna blushed slightly. "I wasn't on my own. I had Mandalore and Visas with me. I couldn't have done it without their support."
"Well once again, The Republic is incredibly grateful for all that you and your companions have done. I, uh…I do have another question I want to ask you…"
"Go on."
"Well after the Jedi Civil Wars you spent many years in the Outer Rim. Did you ev-"
"See Revan?" she asked.
"Am I that easy to read? Well I suppose I am. But yes, have you heard anything about him? I promised him that I would work to keep the Republic strong but I haven't heard from him in 4 years. We were close friends...like brothers even. And well its been so long since I've heard any news about him, I'm starting to fear the worst..."
"I'm sorry Admiral, but I am sorry to report that I haven't heard anything…" she said quietly.
"Ah yes, I figured as much. Well anyway, I won't keep you any longer. Feel free to make yourself at home for the duration of your trip," Carth said as he smiled at her.
"Thank you sir. I do hope we meet again someday," she said as she smiled at him coyly. Wait! Am I actually flirting with the Admiral of the Republic Fleet? What is wrong with me? There is no way he could even possibly…
"Please, call me Carth and I hope we do too, Kianna." With that she gave him a small smile, turned and left the room. Carth let out a sigh. Force, if she wasn't the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. No wonder all those men followed her to war when she left to join Revan and Malak. Hell, I can't believe Revan didn't try to work his charm with her. He was always sucking up to the ladies...
This is the first time I have ever written any kind of story and I hope that the few of you who might read it will find it interesting. Yes, I know this is a little different as I'm pairing Carth with the Exile. The idea popped into my head and a story starting taking place. I hope that I will be able to effectively to write it all down! I only ask that if you found problems within my story that you leave constructive criticism. As I said, I have never written anything before and therefore I do not expect myself to get it right on the first go, nor should you. That being said, please leave me comments and let me know what you think. I know this chapter is short but the next chapter should be up soon!
