It took no time for Araali to locate the Nikto at the bar. In such a short span of time, he had gotten himself nice and plastered with signs of slowing down. It was kind of a shame he wasn't fully aware and alert anymore, but he'd be feeling like he had been drug through Chaos come the next day. That alone allowed a smirk to grow wider as the bar grew quiet.
It wasn't but a moment or two of silence that before Bo turned to see what caused all to become all but a hushed tavern. Quickly, he noticed and gave a reaction she wasn't expecting. Still, it would play out far better this way. She gave a nod at the mention of a drink as she approached him. Stopping right in front of him, the Zeltron leaned over to whisper in his ear.
"You and I have some unfinshed business, Bo. I hope you're ready for an intimate encoubter." She allowed her words to be mixed with her phermones, guarenteeing the thoughts in his head. But before anything else could happen, her left hand rose up behind his head and pulled him forward. With his seated position, she brought her leg up so that when her left knee was slammed into his gut, it was parallel to the floor. Keeping with her momentum, her leg came down before she brought his head down further as her foot came up from behind her to slam into his face. Turning and getting a good footing, her right hand grabbed his belt as she [ushed him up and flipped him o =ver into the floor.
There she waited as the bar grew loud with cheers, waiting for him to get up.

How close Araali was getting should have been a huge red flag to the drunken Nikto. The mix of several glasses of pirate’s brew and her intoxicating pheromones, though, was far more than enough for someone as weak-willed as Bo. He laughed low in anticipation, the liquor thick on his breath. The red-skinned beauty was even more so within his spinning, blurred vision. Just as he tried to snake a hand around her hip to pull her in closer, though, she made her move, making the blow to his stomach. Before he could even process what was happening, he was kissing the floor instead of this gorgeous, yet apparently deadly woman. The wind had been knocked out of him something fierce, but with how deep he was with those drinks, the pain he otherwise should have felt remained a minor thrum of aches. When he would sober up later, it would be a whole different story, but that was too much for the drunken pirate to really dwell on this second.
The jeering and the roars erupted, mixed with some boos for good measure. Bo’s laughter turned from one kind of anticipation to another. Pushing his hands into the floor and lifting himself back up to his feet, he stumbled a few times before truly regaining his footing. It was a wonder he didn’t just fall back down again.
“Well alright then, pretty lady,” he slurred, wiping away any spit or alcohol from his mouth with the back of his hand. “It ain’t any fun if you don’t have a drink first, but I guess if you’re so impatient, I can give you a little something-something you couldn’t get from me earlier.”
With confident yet wobbly steps, he casually walked up to Araali until she was just in range. He took a wide swipe of his claws to clamp down on her upper arm and pull her closer, aiming for a payback headbutt she had inflicted on him earlier before the boss so rudely interrupted them. If he could even make her starry-eyed for even a second, it would be easy enough to punish her for her pheromone-laced stunt with a liquor-infused smooch, before pushing her back and sending a heel to her chest to knock her off her feet and send her to the floor. Payback. That’s all he wanted now. Except there was that minor -- well, that major inhibitor of being heavily under the influence. His movements were sloppy to a sober eye. But still, he tried.

Araalie kept her gaze upon the Nikto, not even the slightest hint of a grin on her face. This was beyond just the sensation of beating him down for his comments earlier in the day and overall insertive nature. She had entered a darker side of her mind, a side wanting to teach him a lesson for how to properly speak to another. She wasn't even beyond killing him if the mood struck her right as her fist met his face. At this point, the cheers and boos of the crowd around them were nothing but a murmur now. There was no one here to protect him and she would have her way with him. When all was said and done, he'd fear talking back to anyone else, or he'd be lifeless on the floor.
She then took a step back as he stood to his feet, clearly not fully coordinated enough to keep him from stumbling a bit. She didn't resist him as he grabbed her arm and pulled her in closer. It didn't matter his intentions, to head butt her back or kiss her. As she moved forward, she flung herself forward to once again nail him. Unlike before, however, she didn't have the time to focus in on a safer part of his head. Her head met his with equal, if not greater, force, her head impacting a few of his horns and cutting into her forehead. Hopefully enough to stun him in his drunken stupor. But while the impact was enough to back him up, he brought his foot up in an attempt to knock her flat. Blood running down her face, her hands came up just in time to keep the kick from making an impact with her chest, but not fast enough to stop it from still pushing into her.
She coughed a bit from the sensation of her own hands being shoved into her breasts, causing her to take a deep breath as she took hold of his leg. With a fire burning in those orbs of hers, her eyes met Bo and held there for a moment as if letting him connect the dots of what she was about to do next. Bracing his leg with her left arm, she brought the elbow of her right down hard on his shin.

As Araali attempted showed her prowess in hand-to-hand, Bo couldn’t help but laugh at such a challenge, but as she butted her head against his, everything went white for a moment, then flashes of colors that finally zeroed in on his truer, although blurred surroundings. There was no mistaking the darker red that spilled down down that pretty complexion of hers. It set off a booming sense of pride and adrenaline that gave him more fervor in his kick to her chest. As far as he was concerned, he was fighting like a drunken master in comparison to this pretty little thing who thought she could hold her own in a bar fight. Little did he know that he was far from what he was imagining...For all of his attempted force, Araali managed a noble defense, bracing herself and even locking his leg into place. The Nikto wobbled, his misplaced balance now only on one leg when two was barely enough to keep him standing. The fire in her eyes was missed as he lost balance. Falling backward, he pulled Araali with him as he collapsed, but the impact of her elbow down on his shin still rang the painful, shattering truth.“Son of a Bantha…!”Bo might’ve been drunk, but not drunk enough. A punch here and there was one thing, but breaking bones wasn’t exactly what he signed up for with this fight. The Nikto kicked himself back and away from the Zeltron, using only his good leg to scramble back. A few scattered laughs filled among the awed and excited cheers, but all were muffled in Bo’s ears. As soon as he was up against a wall, he scrambled back to his feet, and he couldn’t help but make a whispered shriek or muffled groan every time he attempted to put his weight on one particular leg.“Alright alright alright, Araali, hear me out…” Bo pleaded.His broken shin was more than a shock to his system, pulling him out of his drunken stupor enough to realize that this woman was crazy. Probably not doing too well with getting left behind, either. He needed to pacify her and hopefully had just that kind of information that would do it.“...We both got left behind by the bossman, so that means we should stop all this fighting, and instead… here’s a novel concept… why don’t we team up to get off this rock? I know how we can, too, but you gotta stop and listen to me for a sec.”It was a desperate attempt for her onslaught to stop. As much as he was hoping to get out of here alone, she was sort of forcing his hand at this point. Not like he could go anywhere on his own now, let alone if she decided to take the other leg out from him, too. Or worse. She wasn’t around for their earlier days, and any of the newbies to their newest little operation had no idea of the stash they kept hidden on the base. Sure enough, even their attacker wouldn’t have found it, even if that demon of a man had gone through the compound with a fine-tooth comb. But it was the key to getting off of Rishi. Bo could only hope now that she valued that over some petty vendetta against him.

The pain continued to surge through her head at the heavy impact of their skulls meeting in such a magnificent display. It was good that she was far from a dainty thing or it would have been over in that one moment for her, no matter how drunk the Nikto was. She could feel the blood running down her face from where his horns caught her, but a grunting sneer was all that came from the woman as she stared him down.
If not for the sudden impact of breaking his shin with her elbow, she would have been on the ground with him, no telling where the fight would have ended up next. Of all things, she didn't want to be wrestling around on the ground in some pathetic show for all to see. If she was going to have a fight with an audience like this, she would make it a spectacle none would want to miss. And that was what she intended to do even if it had only been the two of them.
As she approached him, his frantic begging for her to stop was like music to her ears. It wouldn't be enough to stop her, but it made it all the more satisfying. A dark smirk came to her face as she reached him, the thought of his pleas being the last thing that came from his mouth before the cold grip of death finally took hold of him pleased her. He could show the world just how much of a coward and weakling he truly was.
That was, however, until those last words he spoke.
Her hand gripping his shirt and free arm reared back ready to lay more punishment into him, she couldn't help but freeze mid punch as she contemplated what was said. Every ounce of her being screamed to finish him off. Yet, she knew she needed a way off this rock at some point since all the ships had been taken or destroyed. The fist tightening until it turned a pale pink she finally slammed him to the ground as the fire in her eyes burned into him.
"Fine. But you better be right about this. Otherwise, you're only means of leaving this place is in death's embrace. Got it?"

Bo winced as he could practically feel the next few seconds into the future. Araali’s fist tightened into a ball and wound back to land him square in the face. When it didn’t, though, he was pushed back, which he might have been able to recover from, if it wasn’t for the shattered leg and the added disadvantage from the copious amounts of alcohol he consumed prior.
Araali’s gaze might have given him her silent warning, but it was every other pirate and thief in the room that he was now worried about.
“Got it…” he slurred quietly in answer.
“The bossman kept it hidden somewhere around here…”
With a makeshift splint to keep him going despite Araali’s earlier damage on him, Bo jiggled a few components in the command center as he looked for something that would give. At this point, the entire compound had been shut down, though, and working in a dim room wasn’t exactly a specialty of his. This was a piece of cake, though, in comparison to everything else he endured today. Getting Araali on board to not kill him was a task and a half, but getting out without a few thieves hot on their trail was a whole other story. It took some doing, but there was a benefit to speeder bikes.
“Aha…!”
Bo exclaimed triumphantly as one of the console controls gave way, popping open a secret compartment. Carefully, he retrieved a datachip sealed away inside.
“You ever notice that strange door with the lockpad? The one in the ‘secret passageway’ under the slave den that the boss always said was just for ‘extra supplies’?” The Nikto grinned as he glanced over at Araali. “Now you’re a smart girl, so as you no doubt realize, just about everything he said was a lie.” Bo snickered, as though wholly pleased with himself. “You don’t double-lock code a door with just supplies. Not even the collars had that kind of security. You were around enough to hear all the old stories about the spice runs and all that, yeah? Everybody knows that the boss didn’t completely put an end to those heists. Still has quite a supply kept hidden away in there, and this pretty little thing,” he said, brandishing the datachip for Araali to see, “has the latest set lock-codes on it, from the last time the boss scrambled ‘em.”
The Nikto plopped down in the chair and raised his hands behind his head, the datachip cradled in between the palm of his hand and his head.
“So this is what we’ll do,” he continued on, turning his full attention to Araali, her figure shrouded in the shadows but her stunning skin tone still radiating within the subtle light. “We’ll sell the boss’s stash before he decides to come back for it, and we’ll split the profits sixty-forty. Seeing as you didn’t have any idea whatsoever about any of this and would’ve been stuck here for the gods know how long without me, I think it’s only fair that I walk out with a teensy-bit more than you. And I should be asking for more after what you did to me. I'm gonna have to go see one of those fancy, real doctors to get patched up after the work you did on me…”

Araali rested against the wall with her arms crossed as she watched Bo work his way around the command center looking for something. Part of her wanted so badly to just end him and continue on with her life. Yet, the possibility of gaining something to build up her funds and make her own way of this planet was something she couldn't pass up. However, she couldn't afford to trust him. For all she knew, he was setting her up for death considering he'd hold control of the situation.
Her head perked up, though, when he found that which he sought. Pushing herself up from the wall and heading over towards Bo as he sat down, she turned her attention towards the datachip that he waved around. A small smirk graced her lips. He had been a fool showing her the chip and disclosing the location of the spice their boss had kept hidden. It was amusing to hear his little deal as she stopped right in front of him.
"That does sound like a deal. But you don't need to worry about real doctors. I'll take care of you myself." Before he could respond or make a move, her hand removed the blaster from its holster and brought it up to his head and fired. Point blank without any time to respond, the bolt carved a clear path through his skull, removing him from any concerns of the living.
Taking a deep breath, she put the gun back and took the datachip. "Rule one, Bo. Never trust someone who wants you dead. Once you reveal everything in order to spare your life, they fully intend to take everything from you." A monologue she knew that would never be heard, she headed off deeper into the base. Reaching the door within the secret passage, she inputted the code that resided on the chip. Sure enough, it worked and opened. Edgy for any traps, she pulled the door open, though found nothing.to give her problems. Inside, she found the stacks of spice, just waiting for her.
With a smirk, she entered the room, her path forward fully taken care of.

Entering into atmosphere Gid expected the unexpected but what she found off is that nothing was even questioning their existence. She shrugged -Gid- "Guess sometimes the best defence is no defence." She shot for the surface and flying low navigated where to land. The station was small. Setting down the woman cut the controls and the hatch dropped open - Gid- "We're here. Let's go." All three girls and the bird exited the ship and the hatch shut behind them. As a man walked towards them with a blaster in hand Gid pulled ahead to greet him. Returning she noticed that both sisters had drawn their own chunks -Gid- "Put the toys away; just defending what's his. We can park here now." Both Alem and Shakk bolstered their guns and followed their sister. Oscar sat on Shakk taking in the sights. Shakk had a different idea . Whispering to Gid she got the nod -Shakk- "Yes!" Rushing back to the ship she opened the hatch and ran into the Firespray-31-class, boarded her speeder bike and fire out of the ship, the hatch suiting behind her. She moved last her sisters in a flash -Alem- "Again?" Nodding and rolling her eyes - Gid- "We gotta try that soon too." The sisters kept walking, both investigating the area around them -Gid- "We meet some people, make some contacts.... Wander a bit and hope all moved nice and smooth Alem." Her sister laughed -Alem- "And it things don't?" Her sister responded - "We never want things to take that pitch." Then added coolly -Gid- "But if anybody oversteps - we deal with it." Alem nodded and the two walked on. A small village was in the near distance

As The other girls were socialising with the locals where they had landed Shakk went out wider on her speeder bike. She enjoyed the freedom the vehicle gave her but the fact that Alem and Gid developed more useful contacts in their way of approaching thing did not slip past Shakk. Still, she did a commendable job mapping out the wider terrain on a planet using her bike. And that made her feel like she was contributing. She had an amazing memory and some high tech equipment to aid her. Pulling to a stop to rest she started Looking to her shoulder before noticing Oscar flying above. Fast bird she thought just as he landed on her right shoulder. A young man approached the two but stopped a bit more than a meter away. She couldn't figure out if the fellow was more shocked by the blue woman of Oscar. She finally asked -Shakk- "Are you alright?" That inspired a laugh. Good She thought. And he answered -Young man- "Ya. Sorry. Just that you two - we don't get many visitors here." The two, three of you include Oscar, had an engaging little conversation. Nothing overly significant and they parted ways without even exchanging names. But he gave her a bounty of useful information , just as part of conversation, about the area. Starting her bike again she took off

Sitting on the 614 AvA speeder Shakk could feel the wind hit her face. Inwardly the girl thanked whoever it was who invented googles. The little look about had been brief but she had acquired a significant knowledge about what was not here. And that mattered. Enormously. The small port began to come into focus. Almost there.... Swerving to the right the girl narrowly missed turning some inattentive pedestrian into hamburger. She laughed; the bike not herself would come out of that looking so good either. She pulled to a stop in front of The Hand Maid Tail and dismounted the bike. Flipping the button under chin she pulled the helmet from her head -ShaKk- "Gid the next place we go to you need to at least try not and crash land." That comment earned a few snickers from those near and Gid's mouth opened to respond but before she could the man working on the ship, one Rishi mechanic by the name Tight Nuts, said -Tight Nuts- "Kid if you call what she's been doin 'crab landin' ya gotta lot to learn." With a wink and a smile Gid turned back to the ship. Nuts spoke to Gid, eyes widening and hands waving as he did. At the same time Alem and Shakk loaded the speeder onto the ship. They'd accomplished what they come to do here. The girls now had some contacts on the planet, of particular interest being Tough Nuts the mechanic and owner of a small spaceport. Entering the ship Gid powered up and the ship entered Rishi airspace. Reaching the end of the line they jumped into space

Gid, armed with the pretty touristy map some dude have her of the planet on the streets of Coruscant and the fact that she personally navigated the place before, successfully at that, confidently piloted the Hand Maid Tail on towards the surface of Rishi. As the landed the girls piled from the ship. Standing side by each, in the following order Gid right, Shakk center and lastly Alem at the right. Arms hung over each other's shoulders the girls danced, each kicking out a right leg then a left in perfect synchronicity and singing a time version of YMCA. Today's silliness dispensed with and having celebrated their safe land they returned to their typically reserved manner And that lasted about thirty seconds before Shakk back ran into the ship. But minutes later the hum of her 614 614-AvA speeder could be heard. Alem turned to Gid and Gid to Alem and both rolled their eyes as Shakk, with Oscar on her left shoulder tore past them both

Shakk could be indeed should be described by using a wide variety of negative words and terms. Duly noted. And last that, she was a very determined explorer. A seemingly tireless one at that. But today she had her eyes on something else. Turning her speeder bike around Shakk faced back to from where she had came. Alem and Gid turned towards the noise coming towards them. Pulling up in front of they communal ship she looked at her sisters and said but two words -Shakk- "Tree houses." Alem looked at the girl in such a way one could see her bludgeoning her sister to death with a blunt instrument. Conversely a smile grew on the face of Gid. Parking the bike inside the ship Shakk then took to feeding her bird. Alem entered next with Gid coming in lastly. Walking up to the pilot's position Gid took a seat. In a heartbeat the engine was roaring. And But minutes later the beast was soaring high in the Rishi sky. And then it was gone

Darth Strife:
He expertly brought his ship down into a clearing of jungle. Trees framed a space around 'Shade', casting shadows on the ship that helped it blend into the landscape. He had planned it that way. After decades of hiding, he was an expert on it and how to avoid detection from locals. He began the ministrations necessary to secure the ship and begin the cool down. This would take a second but his hands didn't require his mind to complete the tasks. So his thoughts wandered. What would they find on Rishi? He had recognized the planet in his vision but had never personally visited it and had no idea where to start the search for the relic.

*Adonias eagerly waited for the ship to land, already feeling excited about finding the relic. He didn't understand why his father felt so nervous through their force bond. Was it because they were in a new place? Or did it have something to do with how serious he was when he ordered him to hand over the relic if he found it first? Shrugging off his flight restraints, he slid out of the co-pilot's chair.*
"I'm gonna go tell Crystal we are here!"
*The man-turned-boy, left the cockpit and went to Crystal's room. He knocked but didn't wait for her to answer. He entered the room and went over to where Crystal was sleeping. He gently nudged her shoulder to awaken her and whispered.*
"Crystal! Wake up! We landed and now we have to go find the relic!"

Jedi Master Selvek:
*Deep in the jungles of Rishi, a lone, figure made his way to ancient ruins and began to study them. He was hooded and cloaked but if one could catch a glimpse of his face, they would see he was human with a short goatee and mustache. Master Kup Selvek sought to understand the secrets that lay beneath the ruins of the once proud Sith temple. There was definitely something here...an echo through the force practically sang with the truth of it. He continued to look around, scrutinizing the ancient sith writings and statues that were already faded and worn from the ravages of time. He jerked his head up when the sound of a ship passing overhead caught his attention. Lightly stretching out with the Force so as not to startle any force sensitives that might be aboard, he sensed three lifeforms. Icy blue eyes narrowed at the prospect of unwelcomed company...*

Darth Strife:
Smiling at Adonias' retreating form, Strife responded with a sound of acknowledgment he wasn't sure his son even heard with as much of a hurry as he was in. He finished getting the ship settled and stood, stretching slowly. He hadn't realized how still he had held himself, lost in his thoughts on the way to Rishi. He still didn't feel 100% and considered meditating before they began their search but something felt off and he just wanted to finish this. His current level would have to be good enough. Leaving the cockpit, he carried his empty tea cup to the sink in the cargo area. Rinsing it out quickly, he set it off to the side to dry. He spotted the vase with the flowers from Adonias as he did so and smiled. Another life and maybe his son would have joined the light side, perhaps even have been sent off to train under a Jedi. Adonias had a spot of good in him that Strife doubted was in his own heart. If he hadn't felt it in the force, he would never have thought the boy to be related to him. He was so kind and gentle. Under the trauma and pain he had suffered in his life, he truly cared. Strife couldn't say the same. It was one thing his wife had constantly berated him about.
He grimaced and turned to his quarters. He had loved that woman with every fiber of his being and she could have done much better than him. In the end, his inability to sacrifice all for her led to her demise. He would never forget and never stop hating himself for what he had done. He was so lucky to have his son in his life but he should have given up his dabbling in the force. He should have become the simple farmer his wife had longed for. Everyone would have been safer in the end. Walking into his room, he closed the door behind himself. He needed to freshen up, change robes, and gather together the equipment needed for a treck through the jungle. Enough of his moodiness. The past was just that, in the past. He had great plans for the future and that was where he needed to dwell.
Crystal:
She was drifting on a sea of nothingness, wrapped in the warm embrace of tranquility. Through the haze of fog around her, she thought she could see something. Perhaps a man? But then the fog intensified and there was nothing but white again. Where was she? She wasn't sure and couldn't remember how she got here. She didn't understand why, but she wasn't panicking. This seemed like home, or how she remembered home. It had felt wonderful and safe just like this landscape. She missed home. Her family had been perfect. Why did her life have to change? Why did she have to lose them all? Almost without her noticing, the landscape began to darken. Then a drop of rain fell, hitting her on the nose. Then another dropped and another until the unseen sky opened and she was drenched. The rain soaked her to the bone and her garments stuck to her skin, sparking irritation. What the? She frowned and looked around. This was getting old. She was so tired of everything always going wrong. "Why? Why can't my life ever be okay?" She tipped her head back and screamed her frustration at the rain.
Cutting her rant short, she paused and listened intently. The rain stopped abruptly and an eerie feeling crept over Crystal. From the fog around her, she thought she heard a voice. Or maybe it was just the wind? "Hello? Is anyone there?" She half whispered the words, officially freaked out and frustration taking a back seat to the intense fear that she wasn't alone anymore. "Child. Come back to us." Crystal shuddered. Who was that? She thought the voice sounded familiar and that was the only part of this scene that did make any sense. But where had she heard it from before?
Abruptly she jerked upright, eyes widened in panic. She was back in her room, Adonias standing next to her. Everything flooded back. They were on the 'Shade' traveling to another world to look for the relic they so desperately needed. What a strange dream. She didn't usually have such odd ones if she even dreamed at all. "Adonias! Where did we land? I must have fallen asleep." She looked down, still calming her racing heart, remembering their last interaction. "Sorry about before, kid..."

*Adonias gasped and took a step back as Crystal suddenly jerked upright. He let out a shrill scream and then clamped his mouth shut. He sounded like a freaking girl! Adonias answered her question.*
"I dunno where we are. Rishi I think is what the nav computer said."
*The five-year-old scrunched his face up in confusion at what she said next. Before? What was she talking about?*
"You are so weird..." *The boy responded with an eyeroll before walking out of her room. He pulled on his boots and waited by the hatch in eager anticipation to go exploring. If only Crystal and his father didn't take forever getting ready to disembark! The boy was antsy and shifted his weight from foot to foot. At last he couldn't stand the silence anymore as his patience ran thin.*
"Let's go! Come on!" *He couldn't help the small whine in his childish voice, the adult Adonias still dormant within his mind.*

Crystal:
Rishi, that planet sounded familiar. But she couldn't recall from where. She huffed in irritation and just watched in silence as Adonias left her room. Well, she had tried to smooth things over. Five year olds were difficult to reason with. Maybe when their ages were properly restored she should say something to Adonias. Uncomfortable with that line of thinking, she stood smoothly and scrubbed at her raw eyes. It didn't feel like she had really slept but there was no more time, they needed to get moving. Something pushed at her to be quick, maybe the force or maybe just her own impatience. She pulled her boots back on and then gathered together some food, water, and medical supplies from what she had bought on Tatooine. Pulling her pack over a shoulder, she walked out of her room and walked over to Adonias. "You ready, kid? It may be a long walk." She ignored his whining, distracted with making sure she had everything she might need.
Darth Strife:
He left his quarters right after Crystal left hers and just in time to hear Adonias. "Focus. This isn't an easy trip before us. We all need to be open to the force and ready for anything." He mildly scolded his son, not too concerned with his impatience but also wanting everyone on the same page. He reached out to the force and felt something tugging at him. A wide grin crept across his face. The relic.

*Adonias nodded when Crystal and Strife finally joined him. Not wanting to waste another second, the young boy activated the opening mechanism on the door and watched the hatch lower. With the attention span and patience of a child, Adonias ignored his father's scolding, his legs already moving. Before it had even finished lowering, the boy was already scampering down, eager to start their new adventure. He began to run into the jungle, throwing a taunt over his shoulder.*
"Last one to the relic has to clean the entire ship!!"

Darth Strife:
He sighed, watching his son bolt into the jungle. He didn't sense any nearby danger so he followed more slowly. He was too old to raise a young child. They had better find this relic and fast. Crystal ran past him and her form was soon swallowed up by the jungle brush as well. He could almost taste her panic and knew the loss of her family was fresh again since she was a teen once more. He frowned, keeping alert as he walked, following the auras of Crystal and Adonias as he thought. Crystal had a rough time getting through her teen years. He hadn't been sure he could mold her into the weapon she asked to be until she was nearly seventeen. This was just another reason they needed to find that temple quickly. No one needed a five year old and fifteen year old running around with force abilities at their levels and with training. His hand drifted to his utility belt, ensuring both his lightsaber and his son's lightsaber were clipped to the belt. He had a feeling he may need them.
Crystal:
Crystal bolted after Adonias, spurred on by his running more than his words. What was the child thinking? He was the weakest of them, he couldn't just run off. He would get eaten, or worse. She winced and shut down any memories that watching him disappear brought to the surface of her mind. "Adonias! Stop! Adonias!" He was fast for a little kid. She poured on the speed and slowly began to catch up, anger and fear wrapped together in her chest.
