Day 7
Darth Warious woke up wondering where she was, and then she remembered...Endor. Warious felt Haldir's arm around her middle, holding her possessively. Turning around Warious looked up at the elf that had been living with her and Darth Maul for little over two and a half years.
"You are awake?" Haldir asked.
"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," Warious mumbled, knowing he would hear her anyway. The Warious rolled out of bed and headed for breakfast.
............
-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.- Warious replied beginning to suspect that the Chief was about to ask her to do something.
-We would like you to cleanse the place if you are able.-
-Anything for the good of the tribe.- Warious replied, -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.-
Warious turned to look at Haldir, who was clueless as to what was being said. She 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?- she asked.
-The only one you must take with you is Sunee Paamuk and Luka Siz.-
Luka Siz was a shetai (warrior) who Darth Warious had been trained and grew up with. He was a good friend to her.
Then I shall also take Haldir and fruk Maul with me also if they will come.- Warious replied.
-Maul has already agreed to come with you. You may have to talk to the other.-
Turning back to Haldir Warious explained to him what the chief asked.
"I will go with you to make sure you stay out of trouble."
"Gee thanks." Warious replied sarcastically. She 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.- Warious replied bowing.
............
"Are you sure about this?" Haldir asked eyeing one of the Hawk-bat gliders modified for the larger party members.
"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 Warious tried her best to not look like a freak with a crazy grin. Luka took care of that for her as he walked by laughing in Ewok manner that sounded almost maniacal.
After a few hours in the air, Haldir wasn't so freaked. In fact he seemed to be enjoying it. Warious had always loved gliding and did it often when she was first here. Maul was in a meditative state that told Warious he was bored. Sunee and Luka flew up and down having a blast behaving like two theesa (children).
Warious felt this was a good time to sing "Pirates who don't do anything".
After Warious finished the song, she asked Haldir if he wanted to learn Ewok. He agreed and Warious started teaching him.
Another few hours...
They landed in a field near the Black tree and are now walking towards it. Warious could feel the darkside's power strongly now and was soaking it up like a sponge as was Maul. Taking the dark force inside of her body, Warious 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 Warious were the only ones to approach the tree. Warious felt herself become stronger and more powerful with each breath she took. Warious allowed the force building inside of her to flow into the force that she contained within her body just as Darth Maul was doing.
An hour later...
It was dark when Darth Warious and Darth Maul finished draining the dark force out of the tree. They headed for the small encampment that was made while they did their 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 Warious sighed, feeling full. "Take out your saber's crystals," Maul said handing Warious her saber. Carefully, she removed the two crystals from her saber. "Now pour the force you collected, into the crystals. This will make our sabers stronger."
Haldir watched them from the other side of the fire where Luka cooked Treebark lizard for dinner. Darth Warious finished and replaced the crystals back into her lightsaber. Then Sunee came back and helped Luka finish cooking.
Dinner was served and they ate.
............
Warious got up and went to look at the tree. She felt living force in it and relaxed.
Warious looked up at it in the darkness, wondering if the force would be back in the morning.
"Whatever it was you did, it worked." Warious heard Haldir say from behind her.
"Yes it did. There is no more of the darkside in this tree, only the living force."
"You did something that wasn't Sith?"
Warious sighed, "I only do so for nature, not for people."
"Why is that?" He asked wrapping his arms around her.
"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."
They fell silent and Warious leaned into Haldir's embrace taking comfort in his being there.
After a few minutes, Warious and Haldir curled up at the tree's base to rest. Then Warious fell asleep.
