A.N: Hey guys! I'm back with more! Just a little house keeping this chapter before we get Chopper base stuff.

Melissa: Print is an adorable little thing. And yes, reunion!

Alejandra: Print is a good listener Lol. And Nitza learns by observing so now less different when it came to Kanan.

Mogor: Coming right up, my good friend!

I don't own Star Wars, just Nitza.


Items

Nitza and Bendu sat together looking up at the stars. The night had fallen so Nitza had suggested they spend time together star gazing. After all, Bendu had just woken up so Nitza wanted to pass the time thinking Bendu wouldn't be tired. That was the complete opposite of what Bendu was feeling, but Bendu wanted to amuse Nitza. After all, she was the one who needed the energy drain.

"The other day I was looking at that star…" Nitza said from her spot laying down on Bendu's head. She pointed to a bright cluster in the far right of the sky. "What if they were many colors, lots and lots of colors!

"Really now?" Bendu said, a little enthusiastic by Nitza words. "What colors do you want to see?"

"Hmm. Red and green."

Bendu laughed.

Nitza heard the clink of metal and she sat up to look down. Print and a group of his dokma friends were huddled a little ways away from the Bendu. They were looking at something shiny. Nitza climbed off Bendu's head and skillfully slid down his arm to land on the ground in a squat. She went over to the shiny thing and picked it up. Bendu noticed her leave and watched as she picked up not one but two metal objects. He grumbled at the sight.

Nitza said, "The metal sticks. The strangers use them. A lot and a lot."

"They call it transponders. They are meant to keep the creatures away. I destroyed that dreaded thing when Kanan Jarrus brought it."

"They hurt the krykna," Nitza said sadly. Then she remembered Sabine and Hera pulling out the weapons and hurting the krykna who was just play chasing her. "Why do the strangers hurt them?"

"They do not know what they don't understand. They think they are protecting themselves."

"Can't you teach them the way you taught Kanan Jarrus today?"

"Why should I? Kanan was the one who had the mind to learn. If the others don't want to learn then they must figure it out themselves." Nitza nodded. This was how Bendu worked. This was his ideal of balance. But Nitza still wondered that there was a way that the strangers could learn. Maybe that should be another reason for Nitza to go to the strangers…. To teach them.

She then noticed Bendu fumbling with his left fingers. Nitza dropped the metal and went up to his fist. "Bendu? What are you doing?"

Bendu did not say at first. On instinct, he worried that the whispers would call to Nitza. Then he chuffed. What did he have to worry about? It was just an item, the knowledge inside couldn't persuade her to do anything. And also she wouldn't be able to listen to the words of the dark side, she wasn't Force sensitive. He opened his palm to show her the holocron. Nitza gazed at it in wonder as she leaned his palm. "It's shiny!" Nitza reached out and grabbed it. "Very shiny! What is it? What what?"

"A Sith Holocron."

"Sith…. Sith…" Nitza said as if trying to remember. She started to play with it. Tossing it between her hands and playing with the flat surface. "What's a Sith again?"

"The darkest of the Bogen's power.

Nitza gasped and tossed the Holocron back into Bendu's palm. She then said frightened, "I saw Kanan Jarrus give it to you…. What are you going to do with it?"

Bendu had been thinking just that, but an idea hadn't come. He looked around. He never kept things like Nitza did, so he had no hollow or anything to put it in. He surely wasn't going to let Nitza keep it. At one point he saw one of the krykna crawl out of the cave, and that's when he figured it out. He said to Nitza, "You've gone into the caves of the krykna."

"To play. Only two times. Two times I can remember."

"How deep are they?"

"Not deep, but very long. Long and long and many and many."

"Hmmm, perfect." Bendu held out the holocron, "This should not be left in the open and the krykna have no use for it." He closed his eyes and focused his mind with the krykna. The creature froze, entranced by the Bendu's connection to it. Bendu waited for the krykna to let him through and when Bendu's request was accepted, Bendu used the Force to let the holocron fly through the air.

Nitza watched mesmerized as Bendu used little concertation to gently put the holocron on top the krykna's bulge of a head. The krykna then turned around and went back into the cave. Nitza asked, "What did you do? What, what?"

"I asked if they could keep the holocron for me deep in their home. They approved."

"Will you need it again?

"I don't need such a useless item. But I figured it's possible Kanan Jarrus will come back for it."

"Hmmmm." Nitza then yawned and went to climb into the palm of Bendu's hand. "I'm sleepy." Bendu could only watch as the little girl curled up and began to close her eyes. He didn't really want to argue, so he just let her sleep in his hands. What harm would it do anyway? Bendu laid his head down next to his outstretched palm and closed his eyes. Then once again he opened them.

What harm could it do? Possibly change the course of Nitza's future. He shouldn't let her get too comfortable with him. What if one day… he just wasn't there. Bendu snorted. Bendu would always be on Atollon. Of course he would be there. He sighed and went back to trying to sleep. But he was still thinking…. Was this right?


A.N: Bendu's at it again ughhhhhh make up your mind! Anyway, just wanted to address the elephant in the room before we move on. Next we get some fun. I'm KikaKatTIOI, peace out!
