Chapter XVI: The Nightsisters
"Sith-spawn!" exclaimed Anakin as he saw the four emerging figures, his immediate reaction being to draw his lightsaber. "Anakin! No! We cannot defeat them. We are out numbered," Raza intervened grabbing a hold of Anakin's arm as it went to draw his lightsaber. "Awe, pitiful Jedi, what is the matter? Afraid of some girls?" asked the closest Nightsister, her silhouette coming into full view, and to both Jedi's surprise it was Aurra, with her crimson blade humming with a palpable vengeance. The other Sisters laughed at their leader's joke, each one stepping into view after the other. To Aurra's left, what seemed like the second-in-command emerged. An exotic beauty of chocolate colored skin, she wore an outfit that left little to the imagination. Her skirt was highest as either Raza or Anakin had ever seen, probably, both Jedi figured, to give her optimum fighting and agility maneuverability. Or possibly to cause distraction in her male counterparts, seeing she was a figure that was "all legs." Her top was cut short to reveal her well-developed torso and slender arms. Her eyes gleamed with a cruel pleasure out of seeing the Jedi cower beneath her and her Sisters. As she came into view she tossed back her curly black mane of hair and pointed her yellow lightsaber at Raza. "Look Sister Sing, new toys," she mused after placing her saber away yet in a defensive position. Oh!" she exclaimed with mock care, "I am terribly rude, allow me to introduce myself. I am Sister Kayla Denara." "Be quiet Kayla!" spoke a harsh female voice as now another female figured emerged from the shadows, her lightsaber being a soft ocean blue, and a great contradiction to her attitude. She was the most violent of the Sisterhood. Wearing tight leather pants with a matching colored and material shirt that covered her chest but yet her arms remain untouched by clothing. She was lightly skinned, however, not as pale as Raza, but definitely lighter than Anakin, her hair was cut short and was as radiant as the lightsaber Kayla wielded. Both Jedi could tell that this particular Nightsister preferred violence to love anytime. "And let a true Nightsister introduce herself. I am Sister Tanya Al'wari." "When will you two ever stop your constant bickering," spoke a softer voice from the shadows. After her sentence she emerged. She was definitely the more peaceful looking of the Nightsisters. Wearing a long white dress covered by see through sash, this particular Nightsister bore a white lightsaber. Her hair seemed to match exactly with what she wore, it being as white as the snows of Hoth, and flowing just beneath her shoulders. Raza immediately assumed that this particular Nightsister was the most deadly. It was often those who showed off least, had more tricks and fighting styles up their sleeves. And while this Sister didn't seem threatening, Raza nevertheless kept his icy gaze fixed on her. "Sorry Sister Glacia," the other two Nightsisters said in unison. Obviously, this Nightsister held a great amount of power within the Sisterhood's hierarchy. "Well Master Jedi," began Aurra venom dripping over the title she addressed both Jedi. "It seems as if you have found me. Too bad you will not be living long enough to return back to tell your superiors about me. For, although you Jedi Dactari may be better than me one on one, not even you two can stand up against four of my Sisterhood!" "That is quite true Aurra," spoke Raza calmly, nodding in consent. "However, I do not plan on fighting any of you." Before either could respond, Raza had called upon the Force connection deep within him to create a large gust of wind around them more specifically focused on the fog that dwelled within the trees. Using his fine connection, he summoned the fog to cloud specifically around the four Nightsister's eyes, causing them to lose physical site of the Jedi Knights. While disarray clouded the Nightsister's eyes, Raza immediately grabbed a hold of Anakin's arm and dashed off into the forest behind their starship. "Anakin do not use the Force, whatsoever. Rely on your physical self, we cannot be found out just yet. First we need to get away from those witches. So we'll split up. Do not get caught Anakin. Hide in the forest as best you can, I will find you. Do not look for me!" Before dashing off in the opposite direction, Anakin heard one last phrase from the alien, "And whatever you do, do not use the Force!" Then with little more than a rustle in the bushes, Raza had vanished within the shadows of the forest. Leaving Anakin to find his own refuge on an alien world, all by himself.
