CHAPTER 2
Valkorion to the Outlander: "Look around you. Zakuul is poised to become the greatest civilization in the history of the galaxy. I have forged this empire to surmount all of my previous works. To span eternity. The Eternal Throne commands a fleet more vast than any ever built. It has the power to reshape the galaxy into any image that I choose. That we choose. I will share all of this with you… if you will only kneel."
The trip to Yavin was for the most part spent with little talk and laying out where the Temple actually was and how to go about getting inside of it. Theron had wanted to go into the temple with her, but she refused to let him. Saying she wanted him waiting for her on the ship. The location was a temple in ruins hidden on top a hill covered by years of the jungles growth. Inside it contained Revan's remains, down to his teachings and this was something Theron could not follow her into.
"Why did you hide your force abilities from your own mother?" Samsara asked as she played with the deck of cards she had in her hand as she kept her view straight out into space.
Theron fingers paused for only a fraction of a second before they continued. "You know I can't use the force."
"You can fool your mother but you can fool me." She said flipping a card over to look at it. "I know you wanted to not become a Jedi and follow that path. You wanted to shine in another way to make your own mother see you as someone else and not the one to carry on the Shan name as a Jedi. Yet you use the force sometimes in subtitle ways to help you. Am I right?" She asked.
Theron paused as he sighed setting his data pad down and looked at her. "I can use it to an extent, but unlike you, Lana, Senya, and others. I don't want to relay on just that to be my guide. How many times has my quick thinking out us out of a jam?" He asked her.
"Many times which I appreciate it...You know things I won't ever begin to want to know or understand. Which applies to you if I we're to try and show you how to use the force at such a late stage in your life." She sat the cards down on the small table beside her and met his eyes. "If you and I have a family you realize our children will be quite strong in the force?" She asked him making him realize she would struggle to not only raise kids but would need to train them properly.
"You're worried they could turn out like Valkorion's children?" He asked.
"In someways yes, I know I shouldn't worry about what if's, but it's a possibility." She warned.
"If we don't abandon them like my mother did with me and we have help along the way. I think we'll be fine, but I don't think either of us could afford to have a family with this war going on right now." Theron admitted even if he did like the idea of becoming a hermit and hiding on some far remote planet for them to raise a family away from all this hellish chaos.
"No, but it's nice to find a reason to hide from it and think about a future." She admitted as she rouse to her feet. "I'm going to sleep. Are you going to join me?" She asked as she paused in the doorway to look at him.
"Not right away, but I'll be their soon. I just want to finish this thing for you so getting through the temples security will be easy." Theron said holding up her data pad as he had been fiddling with it for quite awhile now.
"Don't be awake too long. I'm still not used to using this ship of yours and I don't see myself making a smooth landing in it." She warned him.
"Yeh no offense...I don't trust you quite yet myself at the controls. I'll join you once I'm done. I promise. Just get some rest. You are going to need it once we reach Yavin, because I know you will leave before I can setup a small base around the ship."
She smirked. "You know me too well Theron."
Theron watched her form fading away as she went to one of the bunks to lay down in and sleep. His eyes fell on her new lightsaber as he moved his hand to it he went to lift it and found it weighed quite a bit. He wondered how in the world she could wield it with the weight on it. As he moved his hand to her old blade he picked it up finding it was very light. As he looked at the more elegant blade to the old one he wondered if their was a meaning to the weight.
A lightsaber met to help win the war, along with powers that reviled Revan himself. He remembered that day on Yavin. All of them kept being flung around or pinned by Revan and yet, she manged to avoid his clutches. No matter how many times she got thrown, he watched her get back up. The Dark side was her guiding force back than and such raw emotion and power was what she used to smash into Revan over and over again until she could make a dent in him to release them all. Yet even then she was still weak. He remembered Revan almost impaled her at one point when she was growing weak from fighting him alone. He and Lana both sensed it before it was too late and they fired to deflect the blow. He remembered Lana looking at him oddly, but never questioned him about it.
As he finished the data pad upload he sighed in relief as he sat it down next to her items and looked out at the Hyperspace lanes they we're passing through. It had truly been a long day for him. He had hoped things would go smoothly, but it ended up on a bad note and people around the Alliance had heard about what she'd done which had scared quite a few people. Right now Lana and the other's we're doing clean up control and making sure a certain someone was still withering in her pain from Sam's power hours ago. As he looked at his gloved hand he removed to to find it was blistered a little, but it would go away in time.
Standing up he moved towards the bunks and found Sam sound asleep. Her clothes stacked neatly near her. He wasn't quite bothered by the fact she was sleeping in the nude, it wasn't the first nor last time he had seen every inch of her. Her hair was loose from its usual sections she kept it in and in one simple braid. As he fixed the covers over her he moved across the room to his own bunk and slipped off most of his own clothes. As he sat their he picked up a kolto patch and put it on his hand and wrapped it to let the burn heal up. When he was done he laid back in his own bunk stareing up at the smooth surface of the next bunk.
If anyone had asked him where he saw himself five years ago he would have said in the SIS doing his usual work for the Republic, but he had never expected to fall for someone he had been told was all the wrong kinda things in this world. Yet, he had seen her open to him and change. Had his mother not stopped him that one day on the mission they we're both on he would have killed her before Rishi. It was perhaps the one thing his mother had manged to do right for him. Though when word came to him from Quinn on what happened he was in shock, but like the man said he believed she was alive and that when she was found he should go to her.
When Lana told him they had her back he was on his ship as soon as he could be. He dropped what he was doing to run to her. He was surprised though when he saw her. She looked different, it wasn't the dark side corruption, but the way she held herself. Skittish and afraid of everyone, even herself. Though he had gotten her to open up over the past few months on what happened he knew she was still afraid to talk about it. Who could blame her? She had lost so much in her life and had to bury that all and use it as her driving force to become the strongest Sith in the Empire, but under it all was a young woman afraid, scared, alone. Someone that wanted to be loved and who tired of war. Weather she knew it or not his mother had been right, she was like her father Hiroshi Rand, her mother though he couldn't find much about Aoi Sigma, but he knew she had been the last of her bloodline in the Sith and very strong in the force and served under The Emperor himself.
Turning himself over on his side as he looked at her sleeping face he wondered if she would one day tell him everything about herself she was hiding in the deepest reaches of her mind to forget about her past. When he was able to sleep beside her at night on Odessen he saw all her walls crumble as she slept soundly in his arms.
He knew she had admired Darth Marr, after all that man had been among the few Dark Council members to allow her to confront Darth Baras. The man who had violated her and used her like a slave, a toy, a pawn and when the man realized he couldn't use her as he wanted he chosen to discard her and train another apprentice to kill her. He and Quinn had met three years ago briefly on the same planet and learned from the man what had happened to her. How Quinn had been used to betray her, but the man admitted he had grown to love her. All the people on her ship had wanted him dead for his betrayal and yet she forgave him because she 'had' loved him.
Closing his eyes Theron felt the call of sleep and yet as he drifted into darkness his mind seemed to replay that day in it all to well.
Three years ago...
Theron looked at his data pad as he looked up at the shop name. "I guess this is the place." He said moving into it as he did he was greeted to the blast of cool air from the Tatoonie desert. "Hey is anyone here?" He asked.
A young girl sprang up from behind the counter covered in hydraulic fuel and random droid parts sticking to her skin. "OH! Hello customer! Are you the appointment my father has?" She asked cocking her head to the side cutely.
"Yeh, I need to speak to him in private." Theron said as he moved over to the counter and noticed the girl was working on a full sized droid. "Impressive you know how to build and repair droids like this?" He asked her.
The girl couldn't help but grin at him. "Yup! Before Mum passed away from her illness she and my father we're teaching me since I was 4. My mother passed away though last year when she was in the main city when 'they' appeared." She trailed off, "We'd saved the credits for her to be seen by a good Doctor from the Republic and while she was being treated the Eternal Fleet fired on that area and took out the hospital. Nobody survived...So it's just us these days." She said looking younger than she was.
"I lost someone as well, but I have hope she'll come back one day." Theron said with a smile, hoping to cheer the girl up a little.
That seemed to catch the girls interest, but before she could ask she sensed a presanse behind her and turned her head to see her father here. "Papa, the special client is here." She said as she moved out of the way for him.
"Thank you for tending to our guest Leeta. I'll take him from here. I need you to finish that droid before the next client arrives." He said patting his daughters head.
"No problem papa. I'm almost done anyway, but I wanted to repair something else really quick before I move to the next order." Leeta said as she went back to her job she'd been busy with before Theron arrived.
"Mr. Shan, please come with me." The man who appeared to be 20 years older than him led Theron into the back. When they moved into the office the man shut the door and took a seat behiend his desk.
Across the room Theron saw blueprints of droids all over, but he saw a holo photo of the mans family. All of them looked happy in it despire the woman's illness. "I'm sorry about the loss of your wife, I know Zakuul has gone to far with what they have doen to establish power control." Theron calmly said.
He followed the young mans eyes to the holo on his desk. "My daughter and I we're so happy that day. The Healer from the Republic said he could save her. We had saved all the credits we could and the Healer told us to not worry about his usual amount saying he would save her no matter what. My daughter and I returned home and just as we went to inside we felt the ground shake. The Hutts issued a state of emergency and that was how we found out the facilities my wife was in we're destroyed by Zakuul. It hurt to lose her, but I couldn't waste away on a planet like this and leave my daughter alone. So we have pushed on without her. I see my wife in Leeta. She looks just like her mother. She'll grow into a fine young woman when she is older." He smiled. "I heard you lost someone as well?" He asked.
"I shouldn't have let her go after Yavin." He admitted, "She was on a ship that first noticed the appearance of Zakuul and rammed it into the Eternal Fleet to try and take out as many as she could, but from what little Intel I have. I have heard she should dead after something like that, but I can't help but shake that feeling she is alive." He said.
"I'm sorry for your loss young man. Finding a strong willed woman in this day and age is a hard thing. However if she died in the ships explosion she died a hero for her efforts." He held out his hand to Theron. "Now you said you had a project for a special one of kind droid you want only my daughter and I to do?" He asked.
Theron reached into his pocket and paused as he held up the ancient device he'd stolen from Revan's tomb without his mother noticing. "I need the HK-47 unit built. The one Darth Revan used that once worked beside him." Theron said as he entered a code into the device to reveal Revans blueprints for the droid and handed it to the man.
The older man paused as he heard the request and froze, "Boy how did you mange to come across these schematics? Droid makers for over 300 years have been looking to re-create this machine." He said carefully inspecting the information intently.
"Revan was my ancestor." Theron said without faltering.
The man paused as he looked to Theron meeting his eyes to see the younger man was not lying to him. "My wife if she we're still here-she would have told you yes in a heartbeat to work on a droid like this, but I don't know if I could do it." He admitted.
"Please, I need you to make it. I don't care of the cost. I want him made to serve her if she is still out their. I know she is alive...I felt something happen that day to her, but I felt her after a few hours before her presence faded again. I'm no Jedi like my ancestors, but I would have felt her pass." Theron spoke intently as he leaned in his seat closer to look at the man.
"Do you have a picture of her?" He asked wondering what kind of woman held his interest.
"She-is Sith, but I felt her changeing since Rishi and Yavin, and when I saw her last on a world she helped evcauate to save millions of lives the corruption of the darkside was fading. My mother the Grandmaster Satele Shan of the Jedi said she has Jedi and Sith blood in her veins. She rivaled Revan almost in power." He spoke as he pulled up his data pad and began to play footage of her from survalence and showed it to the man. "Her name is Samsara Sigma."
The older man watched in silence as he saw the red haired woman. The corruption in earlyer footage apprent on how she wieled the darkside as her tool, but when the man got a better look at her without the robes she once wore hiding her face he was in shock as he paused the datapad to see the firece expression on the girls face. "This woman...She saved my daughter and wife from the sand people when she had been on a mission and myself from going to my own death. I was in the nearby portside pleading for someone to save them. I was willing to give whatever credits to get them back safely. She and the Twi'leak promised to bring them back home safely to me. I didn't believe it at first a Sith was capeable of being nice..But the next morning my daughter and wife we're returned safely home to me. She said something to me that caught me off guard and I saw pain in those animal looking eyes."
Theron found himself curious, "What did she say."
"She said she didn't want my credits. She wanted me to promise to always protect the things dearest to my heart so I didn't lose them again. I insisted she take the credits for her services, but she told me no again."
'I lost loved ones I can never get back. No amount of credits will replace them...Use those credits to help the illness in your wife before it kills her.'
Theron looked up as he knew from Lana, Samsara's parents had been killed, but the information pertaining to her parents was classified to such a point even Lana couldn't access them indicating even the Empire's highest knew about her bloodline connections. "I know when she was sent to train to become a Sith her parents died shortly after into her training. She doesn't like to see families ruined." Theron admitted as he had seen her always show mercy to innocents of war, where other Sith killed for amusement.
The old man looked at the paused recording of the woman and looked back to the ancient droid blue-print. "I will make the droid to serve her. She gave my wife and daughter longer to live and showed an old man their is still kindness in unsuspecting people. I hope you find her again one day." He held his hand out to Theron whom took it and shook it.
"I hope so too."
The two man went over the details about the droid for awhile and once Theron transferred the HK-47 data to the man he paid for the service and informed him a Lana Beniko would be coming to collect it when it was finished. However when he had returned to the port to get on his ship he found a figure sitting on the crates near his ship with a cloak on, but he wasn't fooled by who it was. "I thought you wanted nothing to do with me?" Theron asked.
Quinn pushed back the hood and tossed a data chip to Theron whom caught it. "I know where she is, but she is beyond a non-force user's reach." He said looking at his competition.
Theron caught the data chip looking at it as he looked to Quin, a flicker of hope showing in his eyes. "She's alive?" He asked.
"Yes, but for how long I'm not sure after a Sith Lord manged to get the final footage for me." He said looking away. "Everything that transpired after she rammed Darth Marr's ship is in that data chip. It took a lot of effort to get it. We have less than 2 years before the carbinate freezing fails and she dies from the carbinate poisoning." He looked up at the shop where Theron had gone. "I remember she and Vette came here to escort the daughter and wife back. I told her such actions we're not sith, but the more Baras reviled to me about her, the more I saw she walked a path that belonged to neither Jedi nor Sith. I remember her excitement in the tomb when she spoke to Revans spirit. She reminded me of a child getting to meet their hero. I never saw her defenses down like that before." He admitted.
Theron listened to the other man as he closed his eyes, "She is the last descendant of the Jedi Exile and Atton Rand. Her ancestor The Exile followed my own ancestor Revan to war, and died fighting for a cause her master believed in. I won't lie I'm drawn to her, and I don't look at her as a sexual object to lust after. I see someone who lost much and couldn't have the one thing she wanted. A parents love, I'm sure even you know that much about her." He said calmly.
"I know her mother was the last true Sigma bloodline in the Sith, and her father was a Jedi named Hiroshi Rand..." He trailed off, "They intended to betray the Emperor and before the Jedi strike team could come. They contacted someone on Korrbian to take her and train her to become an apprentice to another sith so she wasn't accused of any crimes if they failed. I've seen the footage. Both Aoi Sigma and Hiroshi Rand stayed behind to give the strike team a chance to take Revan and leave. Both of them we're brought before the Empower and he consumed their lives, power...I knew all this when I was working as a double agent. Pretending to serve her, but also planning to kill her. She showed me mercy and yet after that I realized I lost my chance to be with her. Vette, and Jasea saw to it I stayed away from her. When she met you on Rishi I saw she was attracted to you for some unknown reason. I told her to not get close, but she ignored me and I had to watch her falling for you...I never saw her act the way she had on that Pirate world when she found out you we're in danger. She's been changing since that day she ran out to save you." Quinn's fist balled at his side as he ground his teeth.
"She also said something about you before Marr's ship blew up. I know now I have no place in her heart anymore. I don't deserve to for what I did to her. Just promise me when you find her to tell her I'm sorry for the wrong I did her and if our paths should cross again I will gladly serve her again. Even if she is not Sith. I see now her path was met to follow her ancestors and find her way to the last Shan..."
Theron was surprised by the mans confession, but he felt bad for him in a way. He did love her, he could see it, but when Sam had been with them he saw how she looked to him as only someone whom served her. Quinn's betrayal most likely had hurt her in more ways than one. He carefully tucked the data chip into his pocket and moved towards his speeder he rented.
"Oh one last thing Theron Shan, she loved Revan's HK-47 unit..." Quinn added over his shoulder as he soon faded off into the distance.
Theron watched Quinn's body fade away as he looked up at the shop one last time. "I just hope the droid will be able to serve her." Theron said to himself as he turned the speeder on and headed back to the Republic's space port.
When Theron returned to his ship he found himself watching the data chips contents. His eyes burning on the scenes that unfolded as he turned up the volume.
"We will not survive this..." Marr stated calmly as they both stood before the emergency controls.
A thin smile crossed Samsara's face. "I know we wont' Marr, I was hoping I could see him one last time to tell him how I really felt." She admitted.
"You still have a chance to make it to the escape pods. Do not die in vain here." Marr said.
She looked up at the man in surprise. "Is that an order as my superior or a fellow Darth?" She asked.
"An order as your legal guardian your mother appointed to protect you. It is because of me that you we're not executed on Korrbian for your parents betrayal and Aoi was someone I loved and you we're all I had left to remember her. Do not throw your life away here. Go now and continue the war in my place." He ordered.
She laughed at him, it was not a cynical laugh but an amused one. "I couldn't lead a war effort Marr. I'm not like your commanding towering presence, but I'm glad you have always been their for me...I've always considered you a parental figure that I was able to look up to." She smiled at him as she moved past him to the emergency controls. "Everyone get the the escape pods now. We are not able to win this fight. Go back home and warn everyone what is coming and prepare!" She commanded.
"So, our legacies die here?" Marr asked her as he moved to stand beside her.
"Yes, but at least the company is good." She admitted. When the last escapes pod ejected both of them pulled one last ditch effort to send Marr's ship directly into the eternal fleet taking 5 ships with them. Soon the footage faded and went to the Eternal fleet.
When it appeared again it was footage on the Eternal Fleet for the throne. Her unconscious form and Marr's side by side on the floor. "We pulled them from the wreckage Eternal Emperor...The woman and man are just barely alive..." One of the Knight's spoke looking at the ruined forms.
Valkorion looked upon Darth Marr and his former Wrath. Standing up he moved down the stairs of his throne and stood before the two figures. "Leave." he ordered firmly in a commanding tone. When he sensed his guards we're done he knelt down and placed his hand over Samsara's heart and could feel her heart beginning to give out as her breathing decreased. "I don't believe I gave you permission to die yet Lord Wrath." He said as he began to push some of his own power into her body. The sudden surge of power strengthening her failing organs as the severe burns began to fade from her flesh. When he was finished he pulled his hand from her and studied her form for a moment before he inspected her face turning it from side to side. "You look like Aoi now, but you are nothing like her..." He said be it in disappointment or relief perhaps?
He repeated the same thing to Darth Marr, saving them both. Both of them had been loyal to him without fault, before he and Revan had one last go at one another before he had his own mindset to take over this world to rule it. The Sith no longer presented a challenge to him and to e honest they we're a bore to him. If he could have these two serve him he would be unstoppable, but he knew it would not be easy. In their eyes he had betrayed them and the people he'd ruled over for over 1000 years.
As Valkorion stood over the two unconscious figures he heard the door slide open to reveal an annoying pest. "Father, I heard we took two on board..." Arcann trailed off to look at the two figures. "I thought they we're injured?"
Valkorion said nothing at first as he looked to his son, "You we're mis-informed. Perhaps the woman would be a useful gift to you to settle down and stay out of my business." He said pointing to Samsara.
Arcann eyed the woman in her tattered rags, "I will pass father...I have no use for an outsider." He sneered behind his mask.
"Pity, this one is strong in the force. Stronger then both you and your late brother." He spoke turning around to return to his throne a smirk rolling over his face as he sensed Arcann's anger over complementing his former Wrath. However just as soon as that smirk appeared it was gone as he looked over at Arcann upon turning back around to sir. His throne looming down over the two unconscious figures. "Take them away. When they awaken I will give them a chance to join us or perish." He ordered.
Arcann looked down at the two figures, he was certain he heard right. Both had been found burned and barely alive and yet...They looked like nothing had happened to them. "As you wish, father..." He bowed to him. With a series of orders on Arcann's part both Samsara and Darth Marr had been taken to separate cells.
Again the footage cut out to reveal both Darth Marr and Samsara standing before the Eternal Throne and Valkorion looming above them in all his glory. He was not cruel to them, but judging them both in his own way. Even Theron could see the calculating manners in the man's eyes. To how he ignored his son, the two most powerful Sith that had served him he was offering to join him. All they had to do was kneel. Marr was the one that spoke saying he would never again kneel to a man who had betrayed his people and wanted nothing more than to feed upon those people and end entire civilizations.
Darth Marr gave one final attempt to fight, but in the end the mighty Sith Lord that sat on the Dark Council and protected the legacy of his friend Aoi Sigma one last time in hopes that his death would light a fire under her one last time before she too fell. However her reaction was not very Sith. The look on Samsara's face was that of horror as the last connection she had to her mother was stolen from her. "MARR!" Her scream echoed over the audio as she moved towards his dead from and knelt beside him to feel his body was lifeless, void of the force, and the man she had looked to for a long time since he gave her the title of Darth and acknowledged her as a true Sith.
Again Valkorion attempted to bring her to him, but she refused saying how Marr was the ideal leader. Yet her struggle was obvious as she listened to Valkorions words about how he saw her an his match. How her birth had captured his interest and all her achievements mirrored his own. "You care only of my birth because of the Rand, Sigma, and Surik being mixed. My birth was your doing. You allowed my father to live so you could get Revans apprentice bloodline to be yours to control. My parents Legacy will end with me. I shall never kneel to a man that used me, and ended lives of countless innocents I sought to protect. You stole countless lives of people that never had a chance! You care about nobody but yourself and power." She snapped as angry tears of betrayal slipped down her face as the amber burned in her eyes.
Valkorion looked at her sensing the deep inner turmoil of his former Wrath. "I see you learned the truth at last...Revan spoke too much. If you don't intend to join me you can join Marr now." He said as he looked to his son and made a gesture for him to kill her.
Theron watched the turn of events closely from the fight between father and son to Samsara's killing blow. Yet the events that transpired next shocked him as he saw Sam being sent across the room and her head hitting something with enough force to knock her unconscious. However the purple power that ejected from Valkorions dead body shocked him as it leaped into Samsara. Her once vibrant red hair beginning to fade to a snowy white as the stress of her former Master moved into her body.
Yet...He saved her he saw when not even a lightsaber could penetrate the thin film covering her body. Theron found his hand curling into a tight fist as he watched the events that followed with her being frozen in carbonite. Placed as a center piece in a room with other people that choose to defy Zakuul and Arcann's rule.
When the recording ended Theron slammed his fist into the wall, "Damnit! Why does our families always have to suffer!" He snapped referring to the Shan and Surika/Rand line. As he allowed himself to calm down he began to contact a person he had not spoken with in sometime.
"I've not heard from you in forever..." Lana's voice echoed over the communication.
"I know where she is." Theron said.
Lana looked at Theron, "She is alive?" She asked excitedly.
"Captured and frozen away...Quinn brought me a data chip showing me she is still alive, but it's not going to be easy getting her. Our times limited though. I also have an HK unit being built on Tantoonie Lana...It will be ready in three months time. I need you to take it and have it get used to combat in the field. When you get her, the droid is to serve her. I will work in the shadows to help you. We can't leave her like this." Theron said.
"You think she is the next Revan to save the galaxy?"
Theron looked at the data chip, "I do...I know without her we'll all be facing bleak futures."
"It's been two years...I can't believe we missed this. I will acquire the HK model in three months and have it equipped to protect her. I'm curious though Theron...Why that droid model?" She asked.
"She admitted to me she had liked Revans HK-47 unit. She hated having to cut it down once because she saw how faithful he served Revan. I manged to get the data to make another. The man and his daughter is someone she saved and they are doing this as a favor for her help. I shouldn't have let her leave my site after Yavin."
Lana was silent as she saw the regret in his eyes. "Theron I know it might sound impossible, but I will do everything in my power to get her back. Just don't die, you might be the only one to keep her sane when we free her. I need to go representatives from Zakuul are coming and I need to get out of here before they choose to kill me. Anyone that worked closely beside Samsara they want dead as Arcann hates her and all that she represents. We will speak again Theron." With that the communication was cut leaving Theron alone with his thoughts. First his mother went missing leaving him worried sick now he had a woman he loved far out of his reach and power to help. It was ironic really.
As Theron continued to sleep and remember the past Samsara stood over Theron's figure looking down at him. Her eyes watching the rise and fall of his chest. Wrapping the thin sheet around her she moved silently like a ghost towards the cockpit as she heard the ship beginning to power down the hyper drives. When they exited hyperspace she looked down at a world she had not seen in six years. To her it felt only like one year had passed since that day on Yavin.
'You should not be here...' A voice whispered in her ear making her turn her head as she felt a presence, but none we're their.
"Whoever you are I have every right to be here. I'm done being told what to do. This is my test and if I fail it I will die, or I will succeed and save an entire Galaxy." She spoke in a firm commanding tone as she looked down at her hands. "I will win and come out the victor of this." She vowed as she looked up again to stare at the planet.
With those words she turned and made her way back to the bunks to dress herself and prepare for the day ahead of them and what her challenges would be she'd need to face in order to prove to Revan she was indeed the one to inherit his power and will.
