Kavaraa stared at the hologram once again the face of Zuvra Bysh staring back at her she didn't need proof, she could tell it was her dad she just… knew.

"whatever you did I'm sure you're doing great and don't worry so much it'll work out squirt" The recording flickered off leaving her alone in her quarters she hugged her knees as she held back tears, everything had been fine until she'd went to the house why couldn't she get a hold of herself.

It was weird this had always been the case but somehow knowing had made it so much worse, nothing had changed but for her it felt like things would never be the same. Kavaraa sighed all this time her parents had just wanted a simple life and that had gotten them killed, she still didn't know how but she had certainly not followed their example. They were still so different Kavaraa still wanted to find Vallereth and the archives, even with her fathers words was that wrong? would she ever know? he said he would be proud of her no matter what but was she even honouring their memory?

Kavaraa shook her head she couldn't let this break her, she took a deep breath and looked up to see Theron standing in the doorway

Kavaraa shrunk down "how long have you been standing there" Theron's face was sympathetic clearly she wasn't doing a good job at hiding her pain

Theron folded his arms "long enough" he walked over and sat down next to her, he picked up the holorecording "why are you torturing yourself with this thing?" Kavaraa winced she knew he was right in asking that but she couldn't just leave it

Kavaraa sighed "I dunno its just… all I have left of that life and of them" Theron nodded holding the recording in his had

he put his arm around Kavaraa and took a deep breath "ok I'm gonna say something that sounds pretty harsh but I promise I'm doing it to help" Kavaraa nodded nestling into his shoulder "that life is gone and well it has been for nearly 30 years, you have made a life for yourself and you can sit here and wish you had the possible life you want in your head but that sort of stuff it's just not accurate trust me" Kavaraa closed her eyes holding Theron tight

Kavaraa bit her lip "I know you're right I know it's just this whole life I never knew" Theron nodded giving her hand a squeeze

Theron looked down at her "Ok can I tell you something embarrassing and you have to promise not to tease me" Kavaraa nodded she couldn't promise forever but at least for now. Theron closed his eyes for a second "even though I knew it never could happen sometimes I would wish my parents stayed together and raised me properly" Kavaraa's mouth hung open he was just as bad as her "and yeah in reality they would've been unhappy and probably resent me if that happened but still we all wish we could have that family." he looked a little embaressed but also relieved

Kavaraa squeezed him tightly "you're just a big softy aren't you" Theron's face went red as he looked at her flustered

Theron frowned "no i-it's just everyone wishes that sort of stuff I'm saying it's natural to wish for what we don't have" Kavaraa smiled at Theron as he became more flustered

Kavaraa chuckled "nah you're just my big softy" Theron sulked as Kavaraa teased him "thank you though Theron that did help me" she gave him a peck on the cheek and leant her head on his shoulder "it's was just a lot all at once I feel like my entire life is different even though" she paused "really like you said this is the way it's always been" she looked to Theron who smiled

he stood up "well I'm glad I could help even if it was embarrassing" Kavaraa gave him a coy smiled he was right she couldn't fall apart like this "come on I think we're getting close to the first shrine" Kavaraa nodded and followed Theron to the cockpit

When they arrived they were met with an odd sight as Kormel seemed to be staggering around the room with the goggles on, Kavaraa was about to speak up as he bumped into the wall.

he lifted up the goggles and looked to see them, immediately his face went red "uh I was trying to find the beam of light" he paused taking them off his head "I don' know if I quite get it" Theron picked them off him giving them a look

he smiled rubbing his forehead "I don't imagine you'll be able to see much with the vizors down kid" he chuckled as he took the vizor up and tossed them back to Kormel

Kormel tried to catch them nearly dropping them, he looked back at them clearly embarrassed "Oh uh sorry I uh well I um" Kavaraa gave him a reassuring smile

"hey it's fine you grew up in the Jedi temple it's not exactly tech central" Kormel seemed a little less embarrassed standing back up

he pulled the goggles back on "heh I guess it's not quite SIS" Theron looked at him with an eyebrow raised Kavaraa should diffuse the tension quick

she pointed Kormel towards the viewport "hey Kormel what dya see?" Kormel rubbed the goggles and looked out into space and after a quick scan he pointed towards something

he shook with his usual excited energy "look, look, look the beam" Kavaraa folded her arms at him "oh yeah the goggles" he shuffled over to the copilots chair "I'll try my best to direct you" Theron nodded and they began their slightly stilted journey to the first shrine

Soon they came upon a group of large asteroids and upon getting close they could see a small marble structure which Kormel was again squealing about the beam, Kavaraa quickly scurried to get an EVA suit for her and Kormel so they could get closer.

After a quick suit up they floated over to the asteroid "this is Kavaraa I see the shrine ahead over" she always found zero gravity weird, she was falling but also wasn't slowing down or speeding up.

Kormel crackled in over the comm "the beam is concentrating over" they touched down on the asteroid using their repulsor boots to stick to the asteroid

Theron crackled in "why are you guys speaking like that" both Kavaraa and Kormel didn't respond for a minute, soon they heard a sigh "over" Kavaraa smiled as they made their way to the shrine

Kormel responded "to convey information effectively, over" he seemed to be just having a bit of fun with Theron which was impressive considering his once timid personality

What they were met with was a circular marble structure seemingly like a Gazebo with a large mirror in the middle, Kavaraa looked to Kormel "I assume the beam leads into the mirror, over" Kormel nodded. Kavaraa let out a chuckle as she smiled of course it did "well lets reflect that beam, over" they both moved up to it and Kormel began to direct her as she moved the mirror into position.

After a few minutes of awkward direction she heard a click and a excited gasp from Kormel "there! it's reflected over there, over" he looked back to the ship "Theron come in is the star map updated, over" after a second they heard another sigh from Theron

"you know I can here you the whole time the comm link isn't on and off" once again he was met with no response "the star map is updated with a new location, over" Kavaraa chuckled

Kavaraa responded "we know Theron it's just fun" Kormel definitely agreed as they made their way back to the ship joining in on the clowning, Kavaraa was excited they were nearly there wherever this archive was Kavaraa couldn't wait…
