Day 7
I woke up wondering where I was. Then I remembered...Endor.
I felt Haldir's arm around my middle, holding me possessively.
Turning around I looked up at the elf that had been living with me and Darth Maul for little over two and a half years.
"You awake?" he asked me.
"Do I look awake?"
"Yes," he said slowly, not sure if that was the right answer.
"Then I'm awake."
"You don't like getting up do you?"
"No," I mumbled, knowing he would hear me.
I rolled out of bed and headed for breakfast.
A little while later...
~There is a matter all Clans of this place would speak to you about.~ Chief Yubnub said after breakfast.
~Yes?~
~You have seen the black tree that grows in the west. Have you felt the bad magic from it?~
~The darkside emanates from that place, yes I have felt it great Chief.~
~You once said you were knowledgeable in this kind of matter, is it true now?~
~I am fully trained in understanding it now.~ I replied beginning to suspect that the Chief was about to ask me to do something.
~We would like you to cleanse the place if you are able.~
~Anything for the good of the tribe.~ I said, ~But it is almost a whole month's journey from here.~
~We have prepared seven Hawk-bat gliders for you if you require companions, but we were not sure.~
I turned to look at Haldir, who was clueless as to what was being said. I quickly summarized what had been said and turned back to Chief Yubnub.
~Do I get to chose my companions or do you have someone in mind?~ I asked.
~The only one you must take with you is Sunee Paamuk and Luka Siz.~
Luka Siz was a shetai (warrior) who I had been trained with. He was a good friend.
~Then I shall also take Haldir and fruk Maul with me also if they will come.~ I replied.
~Maul has already agreed to come with you. You may have to talk to the other.~
Turning back to Haldir I explained to him what the chief asked.
"I will go with you to make sure you stay out of trouble."
"Gee thanks." I replied sarcastically.
I told the chief what he said slightly altering the words.
~Good. You may leave now. On the Hawk-bats it will take you a half sun journey to get there. You may have to walk back.~
~As you wish great Chief.~ I replied bowing.
At the launching platform...
"Are you sure about this?" Haldir asked eyeing one of the Hawk-bat gliders modified for our larger selves. We're not Ewok sized you know.
"Perfectly sure. They are well built and easy to control. When we need to land, I'll explain how."
Needless to say, Haldir didn't look convinced.
Maul came over and laughed at the elf's uneasiness.
Ignoring him I tried my best to not look like a freak with a crazy grin. Luka took care of that for me.
After a few hours in the air...
Haldir doesn't look so freaked now. In fact he seems to be enjoying it.
I have always loved gliding and did it often when I was first here.
Maul was in a meditative state that told me he was bored.
Sunee and Luka flew up and down having a blast behaving like two theesa (children).
I sang "Pirates who don't do anything".
After I finished, I asked Haldir wanted to learn Ewok. He agreed and I started teaching him.
Another few hours...
We have landed in a field near the Black tree and are now walking towards it.
I can feel the darkside's power strongly now and I was soaking it up as was Maul. Taking the dark force inside of me, I started draining the tree of its power. Maul followed suit and drew the force into his body, making it merge with the force that was already flowing in him.
Maul and I were the only ones to approach the tree.
I felt myself become stronger and more powerful with each breath I took. I allowed the force building inside of me to flow into the force that I contained within my body.
Another hour later...
It's dark.
Maul and I have taken all of the force out of the tree, and now head for the small encampment made while we did our job.
Sunee came forward. ~Is it finished?~
~Yes,~ I replied. ~Bless the tree.~
Sunee nodded and went to do what he needed.
Sitting down at the small fire that had also been built I sighed, feeling full.
"Take out your saber's crystals," Maul said handing me my saber.
Carefully, I removed the two crystals from my saber.
"Now pour the force you collected, into the crystals. This will make our sabers stronger."
Haldir watched us from the other side of the fire where Luka cooked Treebark lizard for dinner.
I finished and replaced the crystals back into the saber. Sunee came back and helped Luka finish cooking.
Dinner was served and we ate.
After dinner...
I got up and went to look at the tree.
I felt living force in it and relaxed. I looked up at it in the darkness, wondering if it would still be back in the morning.
"Whatever it was you did, it worked." I heard Haldir say from behind me.
"Yes it did. There is no more of the darkside in this tree, only the living force."
"You did something that wasn't Sith?"
I sighed, "I only do so for nature, not for people."
"Why is that?" He asked wrapping his arms around me.
"You ever watch the news?"
"Sometimes."
"Those things are what happen in our world every day. It grows worse and worse every passing day. I can only seem to tolerate living in it because of being a Sith."
"Oh."
A little while later...
I curled up at the tree's base and fell asleep.
