"Speaking"
' Thought and Force speaking/bond'
Darkness, encompassing and swallowing was all there was in this place. Not a light to find ones way, nor to help the rooms lone occupant. Eyes fluttered behind closed lids, painfully the lids cracked open, exposing the man's eyes to air for the first time that he could remember since...since when? Shaking his head he felt long strands of hair sliding against his face. Relishing in the sensation of feeling he licked his dry and cracked lips and found the presence of a beard. No way to tell how long it was. How long had he been here, where was here...who was he? These questions plagued the mans mind as he sought to find an answer within his mind, his body sluggish and mind not fully aware of what is happening to it. He kept searching through his mind, searching for some key to unlock his missing memories. There...a letter...J. That was the key to his mind and his name. Jay...Jaya...Jace...it was almost there just am little further...Jace..n, Jacen...his name was Jacen! Hope and elation filled his core..he remembered! The light that had grown, dimmed by the memories plaguing his mind. Oh he remembered, remembered everything that happened to him...and the other. Shaking his head to rid himself of the images, he began to try and find a way out of his place of imprisonment. Why hadn't anyone found him, why couldn't they sense that he was indeed alive? These questions were quieted by the thought that years or centuries may have gone by since he was here and no one might know who he was or that he was alive. Reaching out with his mind, he began to search for his link to the Force. Feeling its touch he smiled once again and peace filled his entire body as he fed his emotions into the Force. "I am here...I am alive..Help me."
Luke Skywalker, asleep in his quarters on board his wifes ship the Jade Shadow, was shaken awake and fell off the bed onto the floor as a hauntingly familiar force prescence made itself known. Trying to calm down his heart while his mind raced he once again heard the call. "I am here...I am alive...Help me." Holding his hand to his face he breathed out rather shakily as the door to his quarters hissed open, admitting his son Ben and their guest/prisoner Vestara Khai. "Dad! What WAS that? That felt like...him...but how...he's dead...right? Isn't he?" Ben held a look of panic on his face as he looked at his father. Looking up, Luke noticed that while Ben had a look of panic on his face, Vestara had one more akin to that of fear. "Ben...It felt like him, but we dont know if this is just a trick, or if somehow he survived." Biting his lip Ben looked back at his father." But Dad, Jaina was there, she killed him, we all saw the lightsaber burn through his body, how.." Waving a hand Luke cut him off. "Ben calm yourself, one thing that I do know is we have to investigate this. By how strongly we all felt and acted towards that Force presence, we don't know if its for good or evil, as well as not knowing who else heard that call. All we can do is head towards the origin and determine what it is." "But dad.." "No buts Ben get the ship moving." With the command issued Ben left his father with Vestara pausing a moment to look at Luke, licking her lips nervously before darting off after Ben.
Sighing he looked up. "What is going on?" Grabbing a shirt, he put it on as he headed off to the cockpit, to help with the final adjustments for their jump to Hyperspace, wondering what were they going to find at the end of this journey, or what was going to find them.
Well here it is, my first true chapter to this story, rather short I know but hopefully this will work as a beginning and in time grow into a much longer story.
