Chapter Eleven: Recovery

Saar'ii blinked a few times then sat up. She glanced around the room, it was dark, completely made of stone, and there was moss as well as vines emerging through. The only thing unusual aside from an unfamiliar location was the fact she had recollection of past events once again.

Her head was pounding and there were traces of blood around her wrists. She heaved a sigh which brought a sharp pain to her chest. She flinched slightly then felt an unfamiliar presence approaching.

"Are you alright, ma'am?" Xior asked as he entered the room.

Saar'ii nodded, "What happened and who are you?"

"Xior Salvus, Jedi Knight and skilled within healing; you lost your memory and went a little psycho due to dark side influences. Not to worry, I'd been experimenting on a medication to regain your memory and it worked well I see." He replied kindly.

"Thank you, Jedi Salvus. Is there any way I could make contact with someone? I'll need to borrow a comlink; lost mine on Hapes." She said.

Xior handed her a comlink, "Be cautious with it. I'll leave you to a private conversation."

He turned and exited the room.

Vorexa turned to look at Xior, "How is she?"

"She's fine, making contact with someone via comlink at the moment. Her memories seem to have returned." He responded.

"Making contact with someone," Vorexa raised an eyebrow skeptically, "Who could she possibly be contacting? Her family is dead and as far as I know she doesn't have any friends, otherwise they would've visited her back at the Hapan medical center."

"Probably a secret lover, those seem to be common." Xior said with a laugh.

"Probably," Vorexa agreed.

Caedus, I apologize for interrupting you, I know you're always busy. It has been three years since I've seen you, and this may seem very illogical, but I would like you to meet me on the planet of Dathomir the first chance you get; Forgotten Spire to be most specific. May the Force be with you, and please don't keep me waiting for too long.

Signing off, Saar'ii Ordai

She clicked the comlink off and emerged from to room to find Xior and Vorexa not too far away. "Xior, I appreciate it, thank you." She handed the comlink back to him.

"Not a problem, ma'am. Anything else I can assist you with?" He said.

"If you could get me transportation that would be most helpful," She replied.

He saluted and walked off in a different direction. Vorexa glanced at her, "Who did you send a message to?"

"It is none of your business, Jedi Ciell. Perhaps you should learn to allow others to have a private life that doesn't need intruding upon." Saar'ii replied.

Vorexa rolled her eyes, "Of course, your majesty."

"It might also be of use if you learn to control your temper." Saar'ii suggested.

Vorexa started to say something then closed her mouth as she noticed Xior returning.

"There's an X-Wing you're permitted to borrow. Do be careful, ma'am." He said and kissed Saar'ii's hand.

Saar'ii flushed and flashed a smile, "I will be thank you."

Saar'ii walked away and Vorexa gritted her teeth in frustration, "Don't you have anything better to do than flirt with females?"

"I could flirt with males, yes, but that would be beyond creepy." Xior replied with an amusing grin.

"Funny. Just stay away from psychopaths and you should be alright. I have to go rescue Anakin now, you're welcome to come." She said hopefully.

"Afraid I've got other problems needing to be attended to. May the Force be with you," He said.

Vorexa's shoulders slumped, "Alright. May the Force be with you too."
