Risika escaped Coruscant before Obi-Wan Kenobi had a chance to kill her. She wasn't sure where to go once again. In a near galaxy Risika found a row of diminutive planets, aligned so flawlessly. She took asylum on the one closest to her. The planet seemed to be abandoned. Not a life form in the vicinity. She relaxed, curled up in a blanket that she had brought along from Coruscant. She could hear something rustling in the bushes behind her. She reached for her bag, which had the light saber Anakin gave her in it. A creature leapt out of the bush. It was white with black stripes, tall, standing on its hind cat-like legs. It had a tail and cat ears. Its eyes were a bright yellow. It bared its teeth, revealing large shinny white fangs. "What do you want?" Risika's voice shook with terror. Without a word the monster pounced onto Risika and sliced her throat. Risika breathed heavy for a moment, trying to stay alive. Then she gave up the ghost. She lay there, eyes open wide. Completely still. The monster stalked away after realizing she was dead. A drop of rain fell on the tip of Risika's nose. She wrinkled her nose up and opened her eyes. She gasped. "I'm supposed to be...dead. Why am I not dead?" she ran her fingertips across her neck and looked at her hand. Her fingers were drenched in blood. "I'm not dead. It's a phenomenon. I've got to get out of here." She reached for the tree that was next to her to help her stand. And claws sprung from her nails through the tree trunk. Risika stared at her claws in disbelief. She pulled them out of the tree and they retracted back down to the normal bitten down fingernails she was used to. "I really got to get out of here." She grabbed her blanket and bag and climbed into her vehicle. She decided to try the next planet. Still seeking sanctuary. The planet seemed more like a giant jungle than anything else, but it was silent. Solitude. A good place to meditate. There was a large mountain in the distance. Maybe fun to climb one day. There was a flat rock in the center of a forest clearing. Risika sat upon it to contemplate. Risika began to drift into her own world. A place of peace and happiness. A place with her, and her alone. So calm, so quiet, so perfect. She felt a rumble. The ground began to shake. Risika opened her eyes and looked up at the mountain. Smoke was pouring out of the tip. It was a volcano. A fiery waterfall flowed down the side. She continued to feel the ground bounce. She felt heat behind her. So hot it felt like she was engulfed in flames. She looked over her shoulder and saw a colossal being breathing over her. It looked as if it were made completely of magma. Fiery amber eyes like Risika's. "Oh no." the creature swung up his fist and began to thrust it down onto Risika, but she rolled off the rock, out of the way. She continued to back away, as the creature stalked closer to her. The monsters body stretched out into a wave of fire, and collapsed onto Risika. She felt her flesh be burned off her bones. No way was she going to live through this. Risika opened her eyes. Looked around. It was somewhat dark. A little light flickered from the sparks that remained after the volcano eruption. Risika instantly felt an odd pain. She looked down at her body and saw nothing but a skeleton. Organs, muscles, and tissue began to grow onto the bare bones. Flesh then wrapped over it all. Hair grew down from Risika's scalp. She just stared at herself in shock. "Something really weird is going on." She stood up, and surprisingly felt normal. She got into her bag and pulled out a pair of black pants and a black tank top. She only had three changes of clothes, since there's only so much space in her pack. "I can't stay here either." She climbed into her small shuttle and moved on. This time she skipped a planet, in hope to un- jinx herself. This planet was like a giant desert. As for life, only a cactus every few miles. This time she sat on top of the shuttle, and she watched more carefully. Something felt different. The blood in her veins was strangely warm. Every time she exhaled her breath was scorching. It felt as if her insides were made of fire. Then she realized it was the necklace. The one Auntie Za gave her. It kept her alive, and gave her the gifts. After about an hour Risika began to doze off. She felt something slither up her arm. She opened her eyes and noticed it was one of those poisonous snakes the thugs had given her. As she looked closer, she realized it was blue. Her heart began to beat faster. She swallowed hard. The serpent opened its mouth wide, and sunk its long fangs into her flesh. At first Risika was frightened. Then she remembered the last two times she should have died. She accepted her third death with a smile. When she awoke, the snake was relaxing on her arm. He was quite larger than the other ones. He was at least five feet in length. "You're not so tough now. You know, I kind of like you. You can stay with me." Risika said to the serpent. The creature nodded. It seemed to understand her. Maybe that was her gift this time around. Risika pulled out her backpack. She felt around inside it. She had brought clothing, the Jedi light saber, some sort of compact food the Jedi take on expeditions, and her father' broken light saber. She pulled out the two pieces. It was obviously cut in two by a saber like Anakin's. "I wonder." She said to herself as she pieced it together. She held it together tightly. Risika could feel heat beneath her palms. She could feel the metal on the saber's double sided handle begin to melt together. Risika removed her hands and noticed the saber was fixed. That was her gift from her previous death. She could even make adjustments, or improvements onto the double side saber. She dug a small hole in the soft desert sand and placed the Jedi weapon in it. She held her hand above it and a flame began to form in her palm. Risika's eyes widened. She lowered her hand until the flame touched the saber, and it began to melt. The saber was completely dissolved into a metallic liquid. Risika scooped up a bit with her fingers and began to roll it onto the Sith saber. As it touched the cold light saber it began to harden into a clay-like substance. Risika rolled it into a string of metal and twisted it around the handle. After that dried on she took a bit more metallic goo, and formed a small serpent head, that she placed at the end of the saber so it connected to the series of metal. She then made a blade out of the liquid metal and put it on the other end. If the saber ever ran out, she could jam that through their skull. "Want to see me in action?" the snake looked at Risika curiously. She stood and began to whirl the weapon around so quickly she could hardly be seen. The snake could see her at all times of course, because it can sense heat, and Risika was a walking blaze.
