Thanks for all the views on the last chapter!
My halo fanfiction that I mentioned in the last chapter is going to be delayed because I'm not happy with it so far so I am pretty much going to rewrite what I have so far.
Good thing about that is I'll be concentrating on this story first for a bit longer.
So this chapter I'll be introducing the female Hero of Tython!
Star Wars: A New Age
Ch 2: Preparations
[3642 BBY]
"Revan!" A female voice called from just outside of Revan's quarters.
Stretching out to the force as he walked over to open the door; Revan determined that his visitor is Master Sett, The Hero of Tython. "Master Sett! To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Please call me Rayeda, as for why I am here; the Council has called the two of us to meet with them, I came to get you."
"We better not keep the Council waiting then." Revan grumbled, he hadn't had much contact with this new Jedi Council other than his descendant so far but with Satele being Grand Master, he has high hopes for this one compared to the one from his time.
"So do you think this meeting is going to be about our course of action for the vision?" Rayeda asked turning her head to look at Revan.
"That is the most likely explanation." Revan replied, not really giving it much thought as he examined the woman who would likely become his partner in crime for the foreseeable future. Her dirty blonde hair was tied back in a loose knot with some of her hair still loose, her eyes were a dark green that gave her a piercing look, her skin was tanned; a sign that she had spent plenty of time adventuring on plenty of hot planets just like Revan once had. She looked just about a half a foot shorter than Revan at five feet and 8 inches. She was wearing her usual Foestopper gear except she had left the armor plating off to lighten it up.
"Do you have any plans for what we should make our first move once we get the go ahead?" Revan asked curiously.
"Depends on what resources the Masters are going to give us and what we will have to get on our own, I expect that one of the big things we will need to acquire will be a way to defend and hide Tython. From the look of the vision you might have an idea for that?" Rayeda replied.
"I have some ideas but I am not sure if they are still viable, I will need to travel to some places to see how things are." Revan replied vaguely just as they arrived at the Council Chambers.
Entering the Council chambers at the signal of a Jedi Guardian, they found the Council in session and waiting for them. So without hesitation they strode into the Council chambers which are much more awe inspiring then the ones in Revan's opinion.
"Master Sett, Master Revan! You are both well I hope?" Master Shan asked as they entered.
"Yes Master." They replied.
"Very well, now on to the point of this meeting. We have discussed the vision of the future and we have concurred on a plan of action."
'That was quick, I think I like this new council!' Revan thought to himself.
"Master Sett, you will be partnering with Master Revan to find a way to secretly acquire a naval defence force for Tython. After that you will head up the new Jedi Order as Grand Master. I will send you promising initiates for a time, but no one outside of this room and your jedi can know. From here on out you are not a part of this Jedi Order, we will leave materials for the lightsaber Forge and the Temple here when we eventually depart to Coruscant, for now however you both should distance yourselves away from Tython and the Jedi Order. We are marking you both down as killed in action, so let no one know who you are, the rest I entrust to you."
"Thank you Masters, we will not let you down. We will depart early tomorrow, thank you for everything." Rayeda replied with a bit of sadness leaking into her voice. Rayeda and Revan then turned and walked out of the Council Chambers for what will probably the last time until they return to create the new order.
"I am going to go say goodbye, I will meet you tomorrow morning for the first shuttle to the Orbital Station. I'll see you soon Revan." Rayeda said somberly as she walked away from Revan. While Revan could do nothing but nod.
Revan soon found himself in his quarters packing up his few possessions to take with him. One thing however sparked Revan's hope, quickly he picked up his personal datapad and keyed up a tracking program he had set up during his hunt for the Star Forge. It showed a set of numbers on it arranged in the form of hyperspace coordinates.
At seeing this Revan grinned, things were going his way for once, and this time no sith were going to be able to stop him.
"Well I guess this is goodbye Kira, I'll talk to Master Shan before I go to get her to send you over to the new order once the time comes." Rayeda said solemnly, trying hard not to break out in tears at the thought of not seeing her best friend for an unknown amount of time.
"Aw come on Ray! You know you'll miss me! Stop trying to hide it!" Kira said with a grin, sounding happy but in reality she felt just like Rayeda did. Rayeda finally gave in and gave Kira a big hug, letting some tears stream down her face before she pulled back and recomposed herself.
"See! All better! Don't worry Ray I'll be fine and we'll see each other again and hopefully then I won't always get bossed around by you all the time!" Kira said with a huge grin.
"I don't know about that, considering I am going to be the Grand Master, I might have to start you off with all the initiates to get your attitude straightened away." Rayeda shot back with a smirk.
"You Wouldn't!" Kira said playfully.
"Well I should go get some sleep since I have to get up early to catch that shuttle ride, good bye and I'll see you in a few years I guess." Rayeda said as she started walking away.
"Bye! Oh don't forget to try that stink bomb on Revan!" Kira yelled after her. They both laughed as they parted ways with only a few bystanders understanding what they were talking about.
"It sure didn't take you long to be ready to leave." Satele said glancing up at Revan as he entered her quarters.
"That's what happens when you are held captive for 300 years, you don't have many possessions or people you know with you." Revan said his eyes downcast. Satele just nodded at his words.
"You understand why I did it don't you?" Revan asked, his eyes showing how worried he really is. Again Satele just nodded but she looked up at Revan her eyes searching his.
"It was to protect Bastilla, I couldn't let the Empire attack, they were ready while we had just come out of the war against Malak and myself, we would have been crushed. I understand how much I hurt Bastilla and I truly regret it but it had to be done, we wouldn't have stood a chance and we wouldn't be here now if I hadn't." Revan said desperately.
"I know Revan." Satele finally replied as she stood up and hugged Revan.
So what did you think? Please review and tell me what I can do better.
I tried my best with the emotional scenes but not sure if they were very good or not, so tell me what you think.
If you want to know what Rayeda Sett looks like then check out my profile avatar picture.
So now that I have introduced both Revan and Rayeda Sett (Hero of Tython), what does everyone think about a pairing between these two? I'm not sure about this because Revan and Bastilla and Satele is in their too. If everyone thinks no pairing then should I have Rayeda with no pairing as well or with an OC or some other character?
Tell me what you think and if I should do a poll on the pairings, please.
