PART ONE: Halcyon

Chapter One:

~Valora Zatoq's POV

You might call the blindness shared by all Miraluka a weakness. I care not to think of it as a weakness, because it is not. I see in the Force as do the rest of my species. This was how we are. We know no different.

Like if you asked a person born deaf if their deafness was a weakness they would say no, because they had lived their whole lives as a deaf and knew no different. Same goes with asking a Twi'lek about their head tails. They were born with them and knew no different.

You do not see many Miraluka. I am one of the few who are in the Jedi Order. All Miraluka are Force sensitive so there is no need really to join the Jedi unlike those that are Force sensitive that do not come from a Force sensitive species.

"Valora."

I sighed and ignored the voice behind me.

"Valora!"

Please go away.

"GOSH DARN IT VALORA WAKE UP!"

I sighed again and turned to face my friend, Mia, a fellow Jedi Knight who was a few months younger than me.

"What is it, Mia, what is it?" I snapped, "I'm busy mediating!"

"We got a meeting with the Council! Come on!"

I stood up and stretched.

"Fine," I muttered.

Mia skipped out of the room and I followed.

Mia is an energetic green-skinned Twi'lek. She's always enthusiastic, almost always happy, and has the patience of a two year old. At least when it pertains to stuff that doesn't have to do with missions and such. On her own time it's dangerous to leave her waiting for longer than 30 seconds. That woman can, and will, hurt you.

"Come on, lazy bones!" Mia yelled, grabbing my arm and dragging me towards the elevator.

"Well, don't tear my arm out!" I protested, yanking my arm back.

She gave me an apologetic shrug and then started to fiddle with her lightsaber.

"Do you think we will get a mission?" asked Mia excitingly.

I shrugged. There was no telling what the Jedi Council wanted. Also I was used to Mia asking questions like this and now it was just best that I shrugged. If I opened my mouth it would just send her on a rant. I wasn't in a mood to hear her rant.

For some reason lately I haven't felt myself. I keep fading out and have difficulty paying attention. I have no idea where my mind goes, but sometimes I get flashes of images. I never remember those images though. All I ever remember was that I saw them.

"Valora? Talk to me, girly!" Mia suddenly yelled as she slapped my face just hard enough to get my attention.

"What? What is it Mia?" I snapped.

"You faded out again."

"Oh."

"You alright? Maybe you need to see a doctor."

"I'm fine, Mia."

"No, I'm serious. What if you fade out while you are on the battle field?"

"I won't."

"You don't know that."

"Oh, hey, look it's our floor."

"You are avoiding this topic. This isn't over."

"Whatever."

The elevator doors opened and Mia and I walked into the room.

"Jedi Valora Zatoq. Jedi Mia Lane. Pleased to see you both, we are," said Master Yoda.

Mia and I walked to the center of the room and bowed respectfully.

"Same goes to you, Master Yoda," I replied.

"Do you have a mission for us, Master?" asked Mia.

I smiled slightly as I sensed her trying to suppress her excitement and curiosity.

"Yes, yes we do," said Master Windu.

I suppressed a smile as I sensed Mia's growing excitement. I could tell a few of the other Masters could sense it too.

"Jedi Zatoq and Jedi Lane you are going to go to Geonosis with Commander Cody and the 212th Attack Battalion. We need you to blow up a newly established droid base," Master Kenobi said.

"Yes, Master," I replied.

"Jedi Lane will be leading the forces outside distracting the droids, and Jedi Zatoq and Commander Cody will sneak inside and blow the base," added Master Windu.

I nodded in understanding.

"A clone? Wouldn't it be better Master if Commander Cody led the forces and I went in with Valora?" Mia asked curiously.

If I had had eyes I would have rolled them at that moment. Mia needed to have a bit of respect for the Jedi Council. Yes, this wasn't the first time she has asked a question like this, wanting to know the Council's reasons.

"It's good for the troopers' morale to be fighting alongside a Jedi and you are one of the best fighters we have. You both are, but Jedi Zatoq is a better at stealth than you are. Commander Cody will go with her and you will lead the forces outside," Master Windu explained.

Mia smiled and nodded.

I kept up a calm demeanor yet inside a piece of me was panicking. Geonosis was a very hostile and very hard planet. I was not very keen to visit it. Yet looks like I was going there anyway.

Geonosis here I come.
