- - means speaking in Ewok.
............
Warious was dreaming when she felt a disturbance in the force while facing off against a Rancor. Warious preferred Rancor dreams; they were recognizable and easier to deal with.
............
Warious woke up to the sounds of strange yet familiar voices singing. Looking up and around her, Warious saw that she was not in her room. It looked like a one room tree house...this was vaguely familiar to her.
Warious noticed that Haldir was not with her as he had been last night. Yes something was very strange.
Warious heard someone speaking in a very familiar language. Then it came to her, someone was speaking Ewok! Fortunately Darth Warious was fluent in this language, thanks to having a mission here for three years at age 9.
Warious was trained by Emperor Palpatine at a very young age. The empire had just been completed and Darth Sidious saw fit to train a young apprentice in case Lord Vader failed him.
Warious was that apprentice.
Darth Sidious sent Warious to the forest moon of Endor as part of her survival skills training. She made friends with the Great Tree Clan of Ewoks and was adopted into their tribe. Here she was taught Ewok through trial and error, but soon she was able to master it. A family in the Ewok tribe adopted her specifically so she would have her own family within the clan. Here Warious became known as Dutak Hutar.
Warious walked out the door of her room and beheld the old but familiar sight of the Great Tree Clan.
Darth Maul was talking with the tribe leader, Chief Longee Yubnub, as other Ewoks gazed in awe at something. Warious went over to the group to see what everyone was staring at.
They were poking at a large man tied to a Ewok style spit. It was Zsinj. Zsinj saw Warious looking at him and said, "What are they doing to me?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Warious said looking bored but amused, "you are going to be eaten." Zsinj started yelling for someone to help him.
Warious sighed, 'Why do I have to have a guilty conscious?' she thought to herself. Warious explained to the Ewoks that Zsinj was not food and to let him go but keep an eye on him. After Zsinj was untied, Warious went in search of the only person she hadn't seen...Haldir.
Some hours later still unable to fine Haldir She decided to ask the Ewok shaman Sunee Paamuk, her adopted Ewok brother, if he had seen him. -No I haven't seen that one since this morning Dutak Hutar.-
-Where is father?- Warious asked him, changing the subject.
Sunee looked down and didn't say any thing. -Sirut is gone now isn't he?- Sunee nodded.
-I'm sorry fruk (brother).- (Pronounced like Fruit with a K instead of a T.)
Sunee looked up at Warious and said, -Mother died not long after you left and Reh Fulu (our sister) has been mated by one from the Rising Sun Clan.-
-And what about you Sunee?-
-I am still to busy as the tribe's shaman to find a mate, Dutak.-
Sunee and Warious talked of what had happened after she had gone back to Coruscant and what had happened in each others lives.
............
Warious still hadn't seen Haldir anywhere. Maul and Warious ate with the chief, Longee Yubnub, while Zsinj was being watched by one of the warriors of the tribe.
Warious asked Chief Yubnub if he had seen Haldir.
-The pale golden one?-
-Yeah, something like that.-
-He went with some of our hunters to help find food. He doesn't seem to understand our language but your fruk, Maul, told him what was said to him.-
-You didn't ask if I wanted to help?- Warious asked hurt.
"You were sleeping Warious. I couldn't wake you up." Maul said in basic.
"Gee thanks brother."
After the meal was eaten, Warious left the Chief's home and went out to talk with old friends.
............
About three hours later after speaking to her old friends, Warious climbed to one of the uppermost platforms to survey the land she once knew. There was no change in the northern part of the forest. To the east she saw a valley that had not been there before. There were ruins of what once might have been a base and landing pads.
To the south Warious saw a pile of scrap metal that looked like it was once part of an AT-ST.
And finally to the west...a cold wind blew and the sense of a once living presence was felt. A large black tree grew there about a month's journey from here. Despite its distance it was very easy to see.
Warious stared back in the direction of the dilapidated base in the east, wondering what had happened. But she ventured a guess that it was once an imperial base.
"Wondering you are." Warious heard a strange voice behind her. She turned around and saw a force image of a small troll like creature.
"Yes, I am. I'm wondering who the Kessel are you?"
The troll like creature laughed croakily, "Yoda my name, it is."
"You don't look like a Sith lord to me."
Yoda's look of humor changed to one of seriousness. "Sith lord I am not. Jedi Master Yoda I am."
Warious rolled my eyes at the creature, "Then why are you even talking to me? Don't you know what I am?"
"Know I do. Sith you are. Talking I am because of one who wishes you were not."
"Who?" She inquired as politely as possible.
Yoda, ignored Warious' question and said, "The death of your master took place in the sky above us. His spirit calls from the west, searching for a final place of rest no doubt."
"You don't sound very disappointed," She growled.
"Disappointed I am not. Sorry I am not. Irredeemable Sith was he. Redeemable you are."
"I am a Sith. I will not change my self for anyone."
"Young, you are. Much to learn, have you. Consequences, there are, to being a Sith," Yoda warned. "Sad, you make him. Afraid of you, he is."
Warious wanted to cut down the little Jedi where he stood if he were but alive. "Who? Kessel darn it! Who is?"
"Mmm. Tell you I cannot. Know him you do." And with that the little Jedi master disappeared.
...............
Warious stood there for a long time trying to figure out who didn't want her to be a Sith. She was trying so hard to figure out whom it was Yoda spoke about, that she didn't notice someone had joined her up on that lookout spot. Until he spoke, that is.
"Do you like this place?"
"Nice of you to finally stop by," Warious sarcastically replied to the one person she hadn't seen all day. Haldir.
"That does not answer my question," he replied.
"This is my family. This is my home. Of course I like it here," Warious said not looking at him. "This place is the first home I ever had off of Coruscant."
"Do all...Ewoks live in the trees?" he asked.
"Yes. All Ewoks live in trees. That is one reason why I like it here."
"Then you would like my home, Lothlórien. We live similarly to the Ewoks."
Both went quiet. Haldir came and stood next to Warious and put his arm around her waist. She looked up at him and he kissed her. Warious kissed him back.
Then Warious pulled away from him realizing who Yoda was talking about. Haldir growled and demanded why she had stopped. "Because I am evil. You cannot change that."
"How did you know?"
"A dead little green Jedi told me."
Just then the Ewok dinner cry was sounded. "It's time for dinner," Warious said walking away from him.
Then the two headed to dinner.
