Note to all the readers of Star Wars…. I absolutely do not own the Star Wars universe… Though some days I whish I could live there. I do claim the character Sakia.
It had been far too long since she had last seen the temple, and she knew her friend Frisst would be there. She sat mending for the fifth time that year a burn in her long robe. It seemed just when she got her lightsaber skills down she would grow, or a new way of doing things so happened to be added to the list. Considering they were four months into the year she was doing half way all right. She usually took off the robe for practice and fighting, but during a hasty retreat out of a spaceport while being chased by an angry mob of freedom fighters is not the best time. Although they did accomplish their mission there.
"Apprentice!" called a deep female voice.
"Coming master!" was the immediate reply. Putting down her sewing she went to the forward cabin in the small cruiser. There sitting in the middle of the floor sat the formidable Jedi. At the moment she was sitting four hands crossed and two legs folded under her. From the planet Zitginn'kosh she was known first there as a warrior then as a Jedi. To say she was massive was about correct. A little over two meters tall she was a challenge to any wookie.
In the dim light her purple gold skin shined against her brown robes. A set of hands removed the hood to reveal her large innocent eyes set against a dog like face. Oh how may people had been fooled by that stare.
"I have just been contacted by the council. We are going to meet a team of Jedi ambassadors on Roth. From there we go into the Dark Region. There has been sighted there the Daar'kk planet. Have you heard of this planet Apprentice?"
"I have only read about it once. Supposedly there is a race of beings so powerful they destroy armies with their bare hands. Their king of the most secretive kind is said to posses the power to blow up a planet. They were described as awesome and terrible beings that desire fear and posses no real emotion. That is about all I know though." She sat next to her master and gave her full attention.
"Yes but there another side also." Xyana turned her intent gaze upon the apprentice. There is a sister planet. These beings according to them are a form of symbioent. Only when a critical change is about to happen in the galaxy will they come out of hiding to posses their hosts. Together they achieve harmony the light with the dark and an almost invincible warrior is created. At least that is how the legends go. We are going to meet with four other Jedi and their apprentices. The council has found one Jedi among our ranks who is of the system. They will brief us on proper etiquette and supply us. I know you were looking forward to going home, but duty calls." Xyana gazed her small apprentice in her brown eyes and waited.
"And duty above self." Replied Sonya. "I will go check the belts before I meditate master." She got up fairly gracefully despite her recent growth and went to secure the hold. Xyana grunted and replaced her hood.
