* Revelations *
"I hope you have been able to formulate something of this Jeedi power Vergere possesses." The Warmaster poised as he kept his back away from the shaper.
Kài Lyi blinked back, holding in her failure. "With the Supreme Cleric along side of me, watching the procedures and results as I went along with the testing, we have conducted every sort of technique to try to localize or pinpoint this energy. And the results always come up the same. We cannot formulate how this power centralizes in certain beings and why it does not." The shaper paused to allow the information to sink in to the Warmaster's mind before continuing. "We did, however, notice that there was only one organism difference in the structure of a Force-user's body."
This information caught Tsavong Lah's attention. Turning around he eyed the shaper and a hint of pleasure rolled through his eyes, but he quickly dismissed the thought. "Has the Supreme Cleric ever prayed to the gods in which a way might be found to destroy this certain organism?"
"He has, and the gods deem it as appropriate to move on. We only wait your verifications." Kài Lyi beamed in respect.
"By the will of the gods, may the studies continue. Please keep me up to date."
She fell to one knee and crossed her arm across her chest. "On my life, it will be done." With that, she sped out of the room.

Jacen's eyes fluttered open and he saw Tahiri sleeping restfully by his side. He remembered what had happened the night before. The tears, the hurt, the pain. However, that was not the only thing that had happened.
Both of them had found a peace neither could have ever explained, a kind of final farewell from Anakin.
Before Jacen had came in here, Tahiri was saying goodbye to his little brother, he too had felt his presence and could feel his very soul being forgiven by Anakin's.
It had been enough for him to break down in tears as he held Tahiri. Tears of joy that they had been forgiven, but tears of pain that Anakin was gone yet finally moving on.
Now it was there turn, and Jacen was sure he would keep his promise to Anakin to be strong for them both. "We'll make it, Tahiri. I promise. I will not let you down." He whispered softly to her.
Carefully sliding off the bed, he went to go get dressed. After sliding on his shirt and pants, he left to go grab some breakfast from the cafeteria and bring it to the room. Walking down the hallway he could only hear the sound of his feet hitting the tile floor. An eerie feeling began to take hold in the back of his mind.
As he turned to the cafeteria, Jacen could make out two shadows sitting at a table. Instinctively, his hand raced towards his lightsaber, but he just let it hover as he heard the voice of his sister.
"Feng, what is it?" she asked the being across from her.
"Uoy evol I."
Fear raced into Jacen as he recognized the inflammation tone. He spoke in the Yuuzhan Vong's tongue. Pulling out his lightsaber, Jacen ran into the room.

"Please, tell me in Basic. I don't understand." Jaina begged.
Feng reached out and grabbed her hands with his and worked up enough courage to speak. "Jaina, I—"
A golden light filled his eyes along with a stern voice. "Get your hands off my sister."
Confused on who this human was, Feng found himself going into assault mode. The next thing any of them knew, he was wrestling the intruding figure to the ground. The lightsaber had flown across the room away from the fighting pair.
"Get off him Feng!" Jaina screamed. She reached out and began to tug at his arms to let go of the other being. His hands were locked around his neck squeezing it tightly.
Revenge hissed through his teeth. "He was going to hurt you!"
"He's my brother," her words echoed the same amount of love he had felt for his little sister. Quickly, the Yuuzhan Vong released the human and stumbled backward into a crouch. His hands flew over his face in a sudden swirl of dizziness. What had he done?
