The Knights of Ren stood vigilant outside of the command shuttle as they waited for their leader to arrive. The wind began to pick up as the sun shone what was left of its rays before it hid behind the desolate horizon that was the barren outskirts of Mos Espa, Tatooine.
Landing hours ago when the sun sat high, hot and vengeful, they received a transmission from Supreme Leader Snoke telling them that Kylo Ren would come to them and they are not to go searching for him; that they were to under no circumstance to assist him when he emerged from the desert. To let him reach the shuttle of his own accord at which point they may attend to him with whatever assistance he may need.
The knights had not seen Master Kylo since he'd sent them out searching the systems for clues to the map leading to Skywalker. They'd returned to the First Order flag ship after hearing of the destruction of the Starkiller Base only to be sent back out to retrieve him.
Guermessa and Chenini had taken up their celestial thrones in the night sky when the knights spotted a shadowy figure emerging from the sallow dunes. It shuffled towards them with labored steps, face shrouded with a ragged black fabric, covering the mouth and shielding the brow. The company exchanged knowing glances before continuing to watch the figure come closer. Once it had was about ten meters from the shuttle, the light from the opening shone on him. Tunic and under shirt removed, his sun scorched skin was made painfully visible. So close to his goal his steps began to falter. Each stumbling step brought him very close to falling but one could see his muscles strain with determination as he caught himself each time. They parted before him as he began to ascend the loading ramp with slow steps entering the shuttle.
Following him in they watched him with inquisitive eyes wondering if he would collapse, if he would speak. The later won out. Falling onto the cold metal of the shuttle floor Kylo Ren lost consciousness.
Syl nudged Kylo's boot with his foot looking quite bemused.
"Do you think he's dead?"
As if waking from a trance Khadija shot a cutting glance at Syl.
"Shut up Syl and get this bird in the air. Zavier report to Snoke. Dil'aage help me get him up." Khadija and Dil'aage heft Kylo up by the arms slinging them over their shoulders, his feet dragged behind them as they took him to the living quarters. Patra followed after them.
Taking Kylo to his private quarters they laid him down on his bed. Khadija removed the shroud while Dil removed his boots. Kylo's lips were a bloody cracking mess, dark shadows had settled under his eyelids but none was so shocking than the jagged raised skin that was the scar travelling diagonally across his face.
"He looks like hell", Dil said, breaking the silence.
"Patra can you check his mind? Find out what happened?", asked Khadija.
Nodding, Patra drew closer to the bed. Hovering over his she places her palm to his forehead.
Silence prevails for a few minutes, Patra's brows furrow suddenly. He is resisting me, she says telepathically. She could sense a strength that had been lacking in times before when they would telepathically spar. Exerting a bit more effort she makes another to attempt to enter his mind. What greets her is the visage of a burning man hurtling toward her, an unholy screech rattling out from its torn vocal cords. In startled terror Patra flings herself away, something like a scream escaping her tongueless mouth.
"What did you see?", Khadija pressed.
She shakes herself.Demons, she replied. There is a war being waged in his mind. The victor will certainly determine who will be greeting us when he awakes.
