A Simple Life
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I dont own any of this. Blah blah blah.
As the Mandalorian raised his blaster to fire Visas hurtled herself in between the two combatants. The blaster roared and its bolt toke her square in the chest. Only the blaster bolt wasn't a blaster bolt nor the Mandalorian a Mandalorian. They had changed to a lightsaber and a tattooed individual. He dropped to his knees beside her. "I shouldn't have taken you with me." "Its cold" Her voice was small and quiet like a mouse. He raised her hand to his face. "Don't go Visas. Don't go." He begged and pleaded but she slipped away.
"There is only one way you can protect her." Kriea was coming through the fog. "You must leave her behind. Or. You. Will. Fall." A second figure had come to join Kriea. It had a T shaped visor on its red helm. Revan redeemed Sith Lord. He had apparently taken up his old armor. "I did it you must to. Otherwise all we hold dear will die." Both the figures were approaching him. "Leave her." Then they pushed him. The world as he knew it faded. "Leave her." Those final words echoed through his thoughts as he returned to normal dreams.
"Wake up." The commanding voice made him sit up and reach for his lightsaber. It wasn't there. "I see you're awake. I presume the Miraluka has been tending your injuries? And possibly more" Kriea's voice held a trace of amusement. "Kriea?" Only it wasn't quite Kriea. There she sat but a ghostly glow surrounded her and she was slightly transparent. But still Kriea. "You should be dead." "Oh. But I am dead. There are ways in the force to stave off certain death but my time had come. I merely preserved some of myself within our severed bond."
"Our severed bond?" "Don't tell me you have never considered why you didn't die with me?" Vorm Brusk merely shook his head. "I haven't really had a lot of time." "Still I am surprised I thought my pupils better then that." You still the same Kriea. "Before you defeated me I severed our bond. Extremely painful might I add." Here she raised a hand to her forehead. "But I am pleased to see that it is working. Now ask your questions quickly then I must go."
Vorm Brush thought for a minute. There were a lot of questions he wanted to ask. "Why must I leave Visas." "The seer. You love her I saw it from the minute you looked at her in the medbay. Fighting in battle with her at your side makes you strong. Fighting for her will you are safe makes you invincible. Love is a powerful emotion one that those fools in the Jedi Order fear, as they should. There will come a time when they will deny one love and trust and he will destroy them. But enough of this talk. You must leave her behind because if you don't she will die then you will die attempting to avenge her. I have time for one more question ask quickly."
He had one lined up. "How come you follow neither the Darkside nor the Lightside?"
Here Kriea looked irritated. "Do those fools teach no one? There is no Darkside Lightside. It is a matter of choice. There is the force. Then there are people that may use it. How hey use that is up to them. To be true master you must walk both paths as you have done then embrace all powers. Regardless of side." The word was said with heavy scorn. "This does not mean you do not have to do good. But learn all the uses of the Force. Revan has and he is far more powerful then anyone could have dreamed. Now I must go. When you are in need of me I will appear." With that the ghost of Kriea vanished. Leaving a very confused Exile.
He realized Visas was still sleeping against him. He gently shook her. "Wake up Visas wake up." She snuggled up against him in a way that made him grunt. Lazily stretching herself she cracked an eye. "I thought I heard Kriea's voice." The Exile froze for a second. "Maybe you dream to hard." IT was an evasion a very bad evasion. Visas seemed to accept it though. "That's not what I dreamed of." A heated smile came to her face. Vorm Brusk wondered if someone had turned of the air conditioning.
"Visas I must check the others." He swung his legs off the bed depositing her rather rudely on the bunk. . As he walked out of the medbay Visas looked after him. "You will regret that Exile." She followed him time to see if those things Mira had told her really worked.
