AN at bottom.
A girl with silver hair lies on a medical bed motionless with laboured breathing, even with a breathing mask, a heart monitor and more, she's hooked up to the many machines trying to keep her alive. Emphasis on trying.
Pus leaks from her eyes and mouth, her complexion is deathly pale and eyes are bloodshot red. It's clear as day she is in tonnes of pain. Yet she still manages to smile behind the breathing mask as she looks to her side.
Beside her is a boy with black hair and closed eyes, "Tenebris..." She softly calls to him. His response is opening his eyes wide and looking down to his side where she lay, with eyes showing the corruption of the dark side within them. The glow of the red eyes show his deep connection to the dark side.
She is barely able take the breathing mask off to make herself more comfortable, but she manages to do it with the help of Tenebris. "What are you doing today?" She asks weakly with curiosity and laboured breathing and pale complexion as she barely looks up at a boy much older than she is.
Regardless, he smiles, not in pleasure of her suffering, but her ability to endure the suffering and maintain a smile, it honestly fills his heart with Hope, "It's good to see you smile, little sister." He said with a soft and calming tone before smiling with her. "I know, you've been saying that everyday for seven years." She said weakly with her usual childish tone.
Tenebris takes her fragile hand and locks his fingers with her own, "Please tell me," she asks, "I know you're itching to say something." She asks weakly.
"I'm...I'm going to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant," Tenebris said as he looks down with sadness, "...There's someone...I think there's someone there who can make you well again." Tenebris said calmly yet with uncertainty as he clenches his fist in anger at the memories brought back, he kept his rage in check however, knowing full well that his current company doesn't need the negative emotions.
She loses her smile for a second before raising another, "Tenebris," she said and getting him to look down at her rather than the floor, "You know as well as I that my death is inevitable. Stop trying to find a way to cure me and be free." She pleads weakly.
"You know I cannot do that," he said monotonously, "I was 10 years old the day I pledged to take care of you until the end, or at least I find a way to restore your health, and I will never stop until I find a way. I know it's selfish but you're all I have left." Tenebris said with sadness filling his eyes and voice. "I can't let you go yet," he said as tears fill his eyes.
The simple thought of leaving her bringing him to tears. In response to his sadness, she places her soft palm on his cheek, "That's where you're wrong," she said with her brightest smile. Tenebris knows exactly who she is talking about.
"Hana, Lumen, is the last person I ever want to see." Tenebris said containing his anger, "He had his reasons," Hana said weakly. Tenebris, slowly gets up from his seat and slowly walks around the room as he contemplates, "I just...Why did he have to leave when we needed him most?" Tenebris asks hatefully and rhetorically. "When mom and dad died he up'd and left for the Jedi temple." He took a breath so he wouldn't over boil with anger.
"He had his reasons for leaving, you seem like you hate him, but you still miss him." Hana said weakly, Tenebris looks down at Hana with a soft and plain expression, "Go to the Jedi Temple, find him and, if you can, bring him back here. You're not the only one that wishes to see, Lumen, again." Hana said weakly with a soft smile, which he cannot resist to smile with her. "Alright," Tenebris said happily.
"I just wonder if he even cares enough to agree to come," Tenebris said sadly, his body becomes tense with worry that he won't be able to persuade, Lumen.
When, Hana, places her palm on his fist with effort he calms down and relieves the tension throughout his body, "Don't hate him...he'll come. I know he will..." She said calmly with a warm smile that could brighten even the darkest of lost souls before closing her eyes to rest.
Tenebris slowly and silently gets up from his seat and places the breathing mask over his sister's mouth again to aid in her breathing, "I'll be back little sister." Tenebris whispers before gently kissing her on the head.
His expression turns from calm and happy to angry and summons his two lightsabers to his hands and places the hilts onto his belt and walks out of the room.
It is revealed that he wears traditional black and baggy Sith robes with a dark red belt. Chrome-red plasteel gauntlets, shoulders and boots armour. His hair is spiky and long, most of it is black with some white bangs. His glowing red eyes resonate with the red planet of Korriban, the Sith home world. Wherever he is, he is far from the Sith temple.
Tenebris, inhales the foul air, it is a fitting odour for a planet that resonates with the Dark side such as this one. Tenebris, looks across the seemingly endless red rocky mountains and cliffs of Korriban. His complexion becomes much clearer despite the small sandstorms.
Tenebris, exhales before carefully walking down the steep rocky hills towards an Imperial Starship, which is a risky ship to use when entering Republic space especially after the assault on Coruscant, but he doesn't really have the time to be picky. The air tight hatch opens up, revealing the very complex machinery and technology and he climbs into the seat.
The air tight hatch closes, separating the air from the planet from the oxygen contained within the starship. The ship ascends upwards at the push of a button. Tenebris pushes a lever forward, activating the thrusters and putting them on full blast.
The red sky's soon become the black void of space filled with the small kindle of light from distant stars and planets, revealing their beauty to him. He looks out at the stars to help him relax before going into light speed. As the blue and cloudy tunnel of light speed rushes past him he grimaces. "You're the last person I ever want to see, Lumen, but now I need your help." Tenebris thinks as his hand clenches the piloting controls with almost enough force to crush them.
He remains tense even as he leaves light speed and lays eyes on the city world and capital of the Galactic Republic. One side of the city can be seen facing the sun, the other in the dark, normally they leave the artificial lights on anyway, to his knowledge atleast.
Lumen, stands in a room, opposite Jedi younglings training with their new lightsabers, "The Force is your faithful servant as well as your shield, it is just a matter of trusting it with your life. Basically it controls you but it also obeys your commands, confusing but it's basic." Lumen said monotonously with a light smile.
Lumen has snow-white spiky hair and deep blue eyes. He wears clothing similar to Tenebris, baggy white robes with a double blade lightsaber on its magnetic holster.
"So we must learn to trust the Force before we can use it?" A small girl asks as she takes the blindfold off and deactivates her lightsaber. "Yes," Lumen agrees as he looks towards her. "From the beginning it has always been your guide and will walk beside you whichever path you choose to walk from here. Whether it be light...or dark," Lumen said monotonously with a smile, "It will always be there by your side." Lumen explains.
"Heh, the dark side," A boy said as he takes the blindfold off, "only the weak embrace it and only cowards use it. The Sith are a bunch of scum." A boy said pridefully with an arrogant smile.
"Youngling," Lumen said, "I grew up on Korriban." He said monotonously losing his smile. Those words caused the entire room to go silent and all the younglings take off the blindfolds to listen.
"You, a master in the Jedi order was raised on Korriban?" Another youngling asks, "The ancient home world of the Sith?" He asks. "Indeed I was, I left because of desire and I left in anger at my heritage." Lumen said monotonously. "My father was a Sith Inquisitor and my mother a Sith Warrior. My last name belongs to an ancient and powerful Sith Lord, Kallig." Lumen said.
The younglings gawk at his story, and the one who criticised the Sith feels slightly bad, "But I learned a very important lesson during my time there." Lumen said monotonously with a smile, thus the atmosphere changes for the better.
"I not only learned to resist the dark side, but I also learned how to recognise it." Lumen explained monotonously, "That is an important lesson I wish to teach you one day. I'm going to put you through the lure of the dark side and I will rely on you to resist it. This requires a strong will and I will depend on you to resist it. Whether you do or do not resist it you all will still be my students. No matter wha-"
Lumen, pauses mid-sentence as he senses a dark and familiar presence approach the temple, "Speaking of the Dark side." Lumen said as he approaches the exit and out towards the Jedi temple entrance. Unbeknownst to him he is being followed by the younglings he was teaching. Upon reaching the entrance of the temple he finds, Tenebris, surrounded by four Jedi temple guards as well as three Jedi Knights.
"I keep telling you, I'm trying to reach Jedi Master Lumen Kallig." Tenebris said angrily and he clenches his fists, "And we keep telling you, you cannot enter the temple, Sith!" The Jedi knight said monotonously. "Calm down everyone, fellow Jedi please refrain from pointing your lightsabers at our guest." Lumen asks politely. The three Jedi look away from, Tenebris, to, Lumen.
"Master Lumen, I wouldn't call a Sith a 'guest'." The Jedi knight explains with disdain towards, Tenebris. "I know this man very well, don't worry, he can be trusted," Lumen explains with ease and trust towards, Tenebris. Hesitantly, the Jedi knight asks, "Stand down guards." The Jedi asks.
The guards lower their blasters and the Jedi deactivate their lightsabers and walk away with ease. Lumen, watches as the three Jedi and the five guards walk away.
Lumen, walks over to, Tenebris, at the same time behind, Lumen, the younglings peak their heads out the entrance of the temple. The Jedi and the Sith come face to face with each other, both share the same expression. "So, Tenebris. Why have you come?" Lumen asks monotonously.
Tenebris, scowls at him, "What? No 'Hello. Long time no see'. It's nice to see you again by the way!" Tenebris said sarcastically. "If you have come for no other reason than to complain, leave." Lumen said monotonously. Tenebris, clenches his fist harder, "I have come at the request of, Hana." He said.
Lumen's, monotonous expression shifts to surprise and worry, "Hana...is she-" Lumen asks with concern, "Dead? No, but she hasn't got long left," Tenebris explains calmly. Lumen, sighs softly with relief. "You know, maybe with your help I could have cured her years ago, but then you had to abandon us and join the Jedi order." Tenebris said disdainfully, his left eye twitching slightly.
Lumen, can't help but sigh out of disappointment, "Hana, is dying of an illness conjured by the Dark side. There was no chance we were going to cure her even if I had stayed." Lumen said monotonously. Tenebris, reacts badly and places his hand around, Lumen's, neck but doesn't squeeze hard enough to cut off oxygen.
Tenebris, eventually lets go of his neck and partially accepting the fact that there is no way for him to cure, Hana, however he is still hesitant from denial. "So I have wasted seven years of my life holding onto false hope?" Tenebris asks rhetorically. "I wouldn't say that," Lumen said monotonously, "You wanted to spend as long as you could with our sister and you did everything to make it happen. That costed your appearance didn't it," Lumen said looking his deathly ill complexion.
"Our sister," a youngling in the distance asks, "Wait, you two are related?" A youngling asks as they all rush out behind them. Now that they look at, Lumen, and, Tenebris, they look exactly alike, "Yes, Tenebris is my twin," Lumen said unfazed by that fact, the younglings on the other hand are gawking at the resemblance of the two.
The spiky hair, the fashion sense, the facial features and height, etc. They're like force-sensitive clones, one who aligns with the light, the other with the dark, the only difference would be personality, but then again when is that ever the same? "Tenebris, here is also a Lord of the Sith, but he's a good person." Lumen explains monotonously looking down at the younglings.
"One last lesson from me today younglings is never judge someone by the title they hold from birth or have gained through their actions, it's why they do it. My brother here may look like an agent of evil from the red eyes, pale skin and black veins but for the past seven years he's been trying to keep our little sister, Hana, alive to find a way to cure her. His actions are selfless and noble," Lumen explains monotonously, Tenebris, narrowing his eyes at, Lumen, slightly in the background by basically saying he looks like a stereotypical villain.
"Now younglings, me and my brother have a lot of catching up to do, please be on your way." Lumen says monotonously, "You always speak in monotone, can you atleast be a bit more emotional?" Tenebris asks rhetorically. The younglings walk away until they're out of sight.
"Right, now that that's out of the way," Lumen said before completely exhaling and leaning his forehead against, Tenebris's, chest with a tired sigh. "What the-" "By the force," Lumen exhaled loudly, "The Sith have it easy, you don't have to suppress your emotions." Lumen said with relief.
"Wait...wat," Tenebris asks in confusion at his brothers sudden outburst of emotions. "Sorry," Lumen said as he calms down and stands straight, "I had to set an example for the future of the Jedi order, I can't show emotions anywhere in the temple or around other Jedi." Lumen said with relief.
Tenebris, is completely dumbfounded that he was fooled by, Lumen's, apathetic and monotonous façade. "So," Lumen said calmly, "How long has, Hana, got?" Lumen asks with curiosity. "A few days at most. I'll be surprised if she lasts the night, that's why I wanted you to come and see her one last time before her time comes." Tenebris explains looking down in sadness.
"Then we don't have much time," Lumen said as he wraps his thumb and fore finger around his chin. "Tenebris, have you heard of the Pool of Knowledge or the Font of Power?" Lumen asks. Tenebris tenses and widens his eyes in awe, "I have heard the legends." Tenebris said with awe.
Tenebris, slaps himself around the face and gets back to the subject at hand, "Wait this has nothing to do with, Hana." Tenebris said as, Lumen, pulls out two flasks containing clear fluids, "Now...I want you to consider this very carefully...I...I think I know a way to save, Hana." Lumen said nervously.
Tenebris, looks down at the small flasks held in, Lumen's, hand and deduces very quickly as to the contents of said flasks, "Wait...are those flasks containing the essence from the Font of Power and the Pool of Knowledge!" Tenebris asks almost screaming.
"I feel like I have done something incredibly taboo!" Lumen said nervously with sweat running down his head. Tenebris begins to shake, Lumen's, shoulders so much his head swings back and forward, "Hey, snap out of it! The life of our sister is more important than any taboo things you can do, in fact, I'm probably worse than you are!" Tenebris said angrily, "We need to go to Korriban."
Tenebris, stops shaking his brother's shoulders, "Alright," Lumen said calmly after the dizziness wore off, "wait here and give me a minute to prepare to leave." He said before turning towards the entrance and walking back into the temple.
Tenebris, watches as, Lumen, walks back into the temple with a slightly elevated pace. The look of confusion on, Tenebris's, face remains, "What the hell was that?" Tenebris asks rhetorically to himself, "Maybe he's still the brother I grew up with. He hasn't changed much," he thinks as he sits down in front of the temple entrance, waiting. Sipping on some of his favourite drink that he still had leftover from the hour long landing procedure. The memories of their childhood come back to, Tenebris as he looks up at the sky.
Eight years prior to events in the present,
A young, Lumen, is sitting down on the red rocks of Korriban, reading a book on Sith rituals, force abilities and mystical knowledge. The look in his eyes show that he can't escape the grasp a book can hold on someone. The need to finish and the desire to know more overpowering him.
"Brother," a young Tenebris calls to his older twin brother, by a few hours, his complexion resembles his brother's and his eyes are a reddish-brown. "Mother wants you to come home," Tenebris said. "Tell her to give me a few more minutes, I'm almost done." Lumen said without looking away from the book, "You said that yesterday morning. Besides mother knew you would say that, so she asked me if you weren't willing to come I would have to take the books away from you by force."
Lumen, reacts to that threat poorly and shoots up from sitting down, dropping the book and turns to his brother with a menacing expression, "You wouldn't dare!" Lumen said angrily. "I so would," Tenebris replies angrily. Their foreheads lock, both sharing the same expression of anger towards each other.
"Don't fight," a girls voice said. The two brothers calm down and look to the source of the voice, a four-year-old, Hana, standing next to them with a sad expression holding her favourite teddy. "Hana," the twins say in unison, they both walk up to her. "Don't be sad, we're brothers, it's what we do." Tenebris said kindly towards her. "Exactly, there's no reason to be sad. We do this all the time," Lumen said kindly as he pats her head gently.
"How sweet," a woman's voice said as she approaches. "Mother," the twins said in unison. "Looking after your younger sister just as older siblings should." The former Emperor's Wrath said in a motherly tone. She gets down to their level, "You two are growing up faster as each day passes. The way you both treat your sister makes me proud!" She said happily.
The three children look up at her with a big smile before they receive a motherly hug from her, "I don't know what we would do without you, mother!" Lumen said happily. Their mother, the Sith Warrior, smiles back at them, "I will stay with you all as long as I can, but I won't always be there when you need me," she said.
"That's right," A male voice spoke up as he approaches. It is revealed to be the Sith Inquisitor, Darth Nox or Lord Kallig. "Lumen, Tenebris," he said, "we're not always going to be around, so we need you to be ready to take care of yourselves. So it's up to you both to look after, Hana, and each other when the time comes when you won't see us ever again." Kallig said with a smile, but in his eyes he wants to cry at that fact. "That's why I need you to grow up fast, okay?" He asks.
"We never understood those words until it happened. The day our parents died was the day, Hana, fell ill, it was also the day, Lumen, left Korriban. That day was the worst in my life." Tenebris thinks sadly.
Back in the present,
Lumen, walks out of the Jedi temple with a backpack filled with the many contents he wishes to bring. "Hey," Tenebris said curiosity, "what's with the backpack?" He asks. "Oh," Lumen said as he looks up and smiles, "I forgot to tell you? I'm leaving the Jedi temple permanently."
"Eh?" Tenebris said with a confused expression for the Force knows how many times today, "You're...leaving the Jedi order?" He asks hesitantly while maintaining his expression of confusion, making sure he heard his brother correctly. "Listen" Lumen begins as he places a hand on, Tenebris's shoulder, "I never wanted to leave Korriban, I never wanted to leave you with, Hana, on her deathbed. I left because, I to, want to save, Hana. Now come on, let's return home," Lumen said happily before walking on.
Tenebris, stands still as, Lumen, continues to walk off, "I had you all wrong, Lumen, I thought you left for selfish reasons." Tenebris said as he turns to face his brother's back. Lumen, stops and looks past his own shoulder, "Actually it was for selfish reasons. I am devoted to healing, Hana, as you are," Lumen said.
Tenebris, cannot help but gawk at his brother's reason for leaving him and, Hana, on Korriban. "Like I said to my students-it doesn't matter what you do, it's why you do it," Lumen said monotonously and continues walking. Tenebris, smiles before trying to catch up with, Lumen. "Come on, brother, let's go home,"
At that moment, Tenebris', pale complexion fades away into the same complexion as his brother and his red glowing eyes turn a reddish-brown; letting go of all the hate he held against his brother, instead replacing it with the same brotherly love he once held so long ago.
Lumen, and, Tenebris, look down at a slumbering, Hana, still as deathly ill as ever. "You can see pus leaking from her eyes and mouth. It's a horrible sight to see," Tenebris explains looking down in sadness at his sister. Lumen, looks down in terror at how deathly ill she has become. The expression of shock, sadness and anguish hitting him all at once, his resolve weakening slightly, "You saw her this way everyday for seven years? How?" He asks on the brink of tears as he falls to his knees.
"Lu...men..." Hana weakly asks as she awakens. Lumen lifts his head up in awe to hear her voice again, "Hana?" Lumen asks. "It's been awhile...big brother. I knew you would come," Hana weakly said with a smile. Lumen, smiles back at her and replies, "Indeed it has. Are you in much pain?" He asks considerately. "A little...it doesn't hurt as much as it did when I first contracted it." She said weakly.
"Well that's a little good news I suppose," Lumen said as he smiles and wipes away the tears forming in his eyes. "It's good to see you again after all these years," Hana said weakly taking off the breathing mask. She looks at him in the eyes with a smile, "I'm so happy, our family is reunited." Hana said weakly but happily.
"Yes, after all this time...finally," Lumen said and happily with a smile. Lumen, takes hold of her fragile hand. "Lumen," Tenebris asks, in response he looks up at him, "it's time. I just need her to fall asleep, then we can begin." Tenebris said with confidence renewed in the possibility of a cure.
"What are you two up to?" Hana asks weakly with childlike curiosity. The twins look down at, Hana, with a confident smile, "We're going to make you better." Lumen said smiling. "You're still trying," Hana asks. "Both of you, I have made peace with myself and accepted my fate, please don't waste any more of your time on me."
"Hana," Lumen said with ease, "I'm afraid I cannot accept that. Now...sleep," Lumen said as he places his hand on her forehead and, Hana, closes her eyes again. "I used the Force to put her to sleep. This should past for at least an hour. Now..." Lumen said before taking out the flask that contains the essence from the Pool of Knowledge, "Wait!" Tenebris interrupts, Lumen, stops where he is.
"Wouldn't applying the essence directly be dangerous?" Tenebris asks. Lumen, closes the flask at that realisation. "The sudden power could react badly with the illness and strengthen its effects," Tenebris said with worry. Lumen, sighs, "How would we apply it? Slowly but not too much in quantity..." Lumen asks in curiosity as he wraps his fingers around his chin and begins contemplating.
It's not long before, Lumen, begins to panic and loses hope quickly of ever curing, Hana. "Oh...what are we going to do?" Lumen asks in desperation as he places his hand over his face. Tenebris, has to think hard now and think of an idea to combat the situation both he and his brother are facing. His heart begins racing but he cannot allow the agitation to blind him. Then an idea comes to mind.
"I have an idea," Tenebris said, Lumen, jumps to the conclusion that it will work, "Really! Tell me," He almost begs. "I do have an idea, but it's risky." Tenebris said calmly. The irony of the situation is a Sith being calmer than a Jedi. "Come with me and bring, Hana," Tenebris said calmly.
Tenebris, guides, Lumen, into a room. In the centre of the circular basin, around it are symbols of the ancient language of the Sith, "What is this place?" Lumen asks with curiosity. "This was one of my last attempts to cure, Hana. This basin would fill with a substance capable of healing or curing any ailment by literally removing your conscious from your physical body, fixing any damages and place your conscious back into your body. Even this didn't work," Tenebris explains monotonously.
"So," Lumen begins, "what makes you think this time will work?" Lumen asks curiously. "If we combine the essences of the Pool of Knowledge and the Font of Power with this ancient healing artefact, I think it will turbo charge or modify the healing factor to almost omni levels." Tenebris explains with uncertainty.
"I doubt they were designed for that purpose, but are you sure it's at all plausible?" Lumen asks. "If we're wrong, people will learn from our mistake. It's our only hope right now, I just need you to trust me." Tenebris said as he looks into, Lumen's, eyes. The look of desperation is unmistakable in his eyes.
Lumen, let's out a sigh of uncertainty, but he goes along with the plan as another and final attempt to save, Hana. Lumen, sets her slumbering body in the centre of the circular basin. But in case something goes wrong he kisses her forehead as a final goodbye, if it should come to that.
Tenebris, walks up to them both, Lumen, standing on, Hana's, right, Tenebris, her left. "Take the flasks out," Tenebris asks monotonously. Lumen, takes out the two flasks and opens the tops. The twins become tense as they prepare for the worst. Tenebris, uses the force to activate the ancient Sith artefact, and the basin begins to fill with a glowing red substance.
The red substance reaches and flows above their. "Pour the essence of the Pool of Knowledge and the Font of Power into the red liquid." Tenebris asks of, Lumen, which he does without hesitation, but nervous about the results.
The mixture of the three chemicals turn the red liquid from a glowing blood red to a glowing cyan blue, much to their surprise. "At least it didn't explode," Tenebris comments with relief. Suddenly, Hana's, breathing becomes clear and her pale skin is slowly disappearing to her natural complexion, "Look!" Tenebris said excitedly.
Hana's, complexion returns to normal, the pus around her eyes and mouth recede, and she finds it easier to breathe. The twins fall to their knees and place their hands in the cyan substance with a gawking expression, "It's working!" Lumen said happily.
Hana, opens her eyes and is welcomed by the sight of her older brothers' smiles. "Lumen...Tenebris...you actually-" Hana is interrupted. "Of course we did, like we promised." Tenebris said happily.
They each smiled happily, Hana proceeding to hug the necks of her older brothers very tight leading them both to have to rebalance themselves and preserve air in case they're suffocated by how tight Hana is hugging them, they remained this way for a full minute before Hana finally broke the silence. "Thank you." Her voice conveying gratefulness and beginning the tears of joy.
None of them noticed the slight glow Hana and the basin emitted before it was too late, the basin setting alight and Hana glowing brightly. The last thing any of them saw before feeling a slight burning sensation is a bright blue and white light in the form of flames, each of them wondered if they were dead or The Force was just playing a cruel joke on them.
No warm embrace of a God or Angels came to greet them nor the cold expanse of eternal darkness, or even The Force. But rather a large amount of air blowing against Tenebris's face eliciting him to open one eye slightly, which lead to both his eyes shooting open and widening at the same time, he's falling, and at the current moment, very fast.
He closed his eyes "This is all a dream, this is all a dream." He tried to reassure himself, it worked, until he opened his eyes again. "Okay not a dream!" He practically shouted with pure anxiety as he began screaming in a way Jack Sparrow would be proud of.
He put himself in a position that would slow his decent but it wouldn't be enough to survive the fall even with his force based abilities being above and beyond what they should be, spending your life on Korriban does that to you.
As he went past a set of clouds he could now see the marshlands below him making him wonder just how high he is and where he is, right before realising he's around 10 seconds away from hitting the ground. He continued screaming until he pauses right before hitting the ground and then dropping to the ground again face first with a thud. "Ow." His muffled voice came from the wet grass.
"Tenebris, get up, we've got to find Hana!" He could hear the slightly distressed voice of Lumen reach his ears leading Tenebris to stand up with a grunt at the current back pain and brushed himself off. He closed his eyes and searched for Hana using The Force, nearly instantly spotting her unique aura after spending years with Hana. (Coincidence not intended - T.)
"This way." Tenebris said in a no nonsense tone as himself and his brother ran to the location of their newly revived little sister, lightsaber hilts in hand. When they arrived, they found Hana to be unconscious but breathing. "Is she okay?" Lumen asks with anxiety. "She's fine, just out of it." Tenebris said with a sigh of relief which Lumen also gave off.
Tenebris paused in his place and almost instantly stood launching some force lightning at a black wolf looking creature with white bone covering it, the lightning made the thing shriek in pain and curl up into a ball before Tenebris puts it out of its misery with a lightsabre to the head.
At this Lumen activates his double ended lightsaber and Tenebris activates his other lightsaber, one for each hand. As they do this Beowolf howls can be heard far and wide eliciting them both to stand in a protective manner around Hana. "None of them touches Hana." Tenebris says with steadily growing anger. "Agreed, let's see if you've been practicing since remaining on Korriban." Lumen said with a monotone and dry humour as always.
"First to 50." Tenebris says with a smirk, Lumen simply nodding as the pack of wolves start to charge towards them, the world seems to slow down as they both prepared to parry any attacks coming their way, Tenebris sending force lightning to his lightsabers to act as overkill.
As one got with arms length of Tenebris, he began twirling his sabers in a circle in front of him, cutting up the Beowolves arms and pausing his left saber to decapitate it before pushing it away with the Force. Lumen wasn't having quite as easy a time as he had to angle the sabers to block both claw attacks and slice the thing in half diagonally and immediately repeating the pattern only this time he managed to slice off half its head and shoulder.
"This is a little easy!" Tenebris said as he sliced a Beowolf at his side whilst simultaneously electrocuting another. Shocking. (I'm so sorry - T) Lumen didn't have time to respond as he had to kickflip off one whilst decapitating it and Force Pushing another away as it was about to pounce on a still unconscious Hana.
Speaking of Hana, her mind gradually began to stir, for the first time in a very long time, she began to breath clearly, fresh air, nothing like Korriban, she gradually began to sit up and shake off the blurriness from suddenly sunlight. "Hana's awake Tenebris." Lumen said calmly as he threw a Beowolf over his head with the Force which Tenebris promptly jumped and twirled as he cut the flying Beowolf in half before crushing a Beowolf with several simultaneous Force Pushes to the Beowolf below him.
"Yeah, I noticed that frankly!" Tenebris responded, relishing in the adrenaline in his body. "Wha...What's going on?..." Hana asked whilst yawning. "Wildlife are attempting to harm us." Lumen responded in a monotone whilst slicing a Beowolf in half and crushing another with a dead log using the Force.
"That's putting it mildly!" Tenebris shouted in response, gritting his teeth as he started electrocuting 4 Beowolves at once, but soon enough the Beowolves began to retreat, obviously deciding that these lot aren't worth wasting throwing more bodies at. The twin brothers stood still for a few moments before putting away their weapons. "That was a good workout." Tenebris said whilst staring at one of the disintegrating Beowolf corpses.
"You okay?" Lumen asks Hana as he helps her to her feet, she gives off a heart warming smile and replies. "Yes, thank you." At this the three spend a moment in silence before Hana speaks up. "Where are we?" At this the twin brothers look at each other before Lumen responds. "I am unsure, I haven't heard of a world with this sort of wildlife." At this Tenebris rolls his eyes at how he worded the sentence.
"Ya think?" Tenebris responds in a deadpan as Hana looks at the both of them with a look a parent would. "Don't start fighting, you know how it makes me feel." At this she looks down slightly with a saddened expression, making the brothers instantly go into 'make sister happy mode'. "Hana, we're not fighting, we're joking, we always are." At this Hana brightens up a bit more before asking the golden question.
"What do we do?" She asks the two which leads the brothers to sigh slightly. "We don't know, but we'll figure something out, we always do." Tenebris says, Lumen nodding in agreement.
The arrival of the trio was a little rough, as you can probably tell, but what you don't know is that it caused a ripple in a previously still lake, those who are destined to cause waves would be the only ones to feel the ripple, it would stir the beating drums of darkness itself as its ancient mind sets out with a plan that shall not fail, even with variables that are added in. Nothing can stop the Darkness from rising.

As usual I put in my comments, hence the (- T) this was written in collaboration with Billmastergamin115 (To be honest he wrote most of it and I wrote from the skydiving onwards, so yeah not much but I did do the character designs, if you want a link to those, just let me know and I'll send you a link to the approximations I made based on the information I received, in other words, a picture of the designs.) so be sure to check him out, this story is also on his profile on Wattpad (Billmaster115) what ever that is. Be sure to favourite or follow for more and be and also don't forget to Review in order to let me and Bill know any tips, tricks or nitpicks you may have and I'll let Bill know, also, Hi Bill! Because you're probably reading this right now.
That being said, I'm going to go start writing the next chapter of another fic, chao!
