Yet again the smile dropped as she seemed to accept the bargain proposed by her walking companion. Perhaps someone new, an outsider, would offer her a new perspective and help with the healing and grieving. Her name was Aurora. She was a loyal vassal, a mighty warrior, but most of all, a dear friend. Abi withdrew a handkerchief in anticipation of her own emotional response, though still holding onto composure for now, she continued. My family had been usurped and our lands stolen when I was a child. When I returned to reclaim my birthright and free my people from the oppressors', Aurora answered the call without hesitation. If it weren't for her wisdom and bravery I would have fallen down a dark path. Sniffle. I owe her my life and more than I could have ever repaid. When our order relocated here, we fell out of touch, our duties kept us apart as I oversaw reconstruction of the capital and she took the more martial roles. And recently, she had led an attack against one of our enemies. Ultimately the mission was a success, but it cost us... dearly. She was now making use of the cloth in her hands, dabbing away the tears in the corners of her eyes. To her it all seemed so pointless, but at the same time she understood that dislodging the Dark Jedi Order was a great triumph for the Light. She just couldn't appreciate that right now, and probably wouldn't for some time.

If there was one skill Drauchir was good at, it was walking stoically in silence. A skill he put to use now as he listened to the Countess talk of her friend Aurora as they continued along the path back towards the Hangar. It reminded him a lot of the way he spoke of Runya and Eryneth. While he could not relate to how it must be to be born into a position of status, he could relate to how one loved and cared about another. He could also, to some extent, understand how this Aurora may have felt about the Countess
Sacrifice... A feeling I'm rather familiar with. It is not a pain that dulls easily, nor is it one we should allow to consume us. There are few words I could use to help comfort the pain you feel, in part because it is a pain I feel all too well now.
He felt that pain of the last few days, or weeks rather, creeping back up upon him
The world feels a lot less bright without her, does it not? Everything I knew felt as if it fell into darkness when the lands I knew died. In the end, a Witch named Runya, whom I loved more than anyone or any thing else, sacrificed herself to ensure I escaped alongside Eryneth, the girl whom I now search for. I couldn't help but feel lost and wonder what the point of it all was...
In truth, some part of him still wondered that same question. Such a hallowing feeling eliciting a grunt
However, I have come to the understanding, even if not fully, that those that we lose... that sacrifice themselves for us, that they believed in us. We now carry the light they once shone upon the world, because they entrusted us with it, to carry it on and do something for the living that they could not themselves do... It could have been just as easy for Eryneth and myself to have just died upon Acron, to have burned with Runya. After all, what point was there to saving two of our people? We could not, ourselves, manage to populate a whole new home. But that was not the goal for which Runya gave her life. It was so that we could fight on and protect others...
He did his best to suppress the rising tide of emotions he felt threatening to break the dam. But he managed to hold the line
This Aurora... I suspect she made a similar such sacrifice. Gave up her life so that you might carry on with the good you do... Mourn her loss, but remember to also celebrate the life she lived. She rests now with her ancestors and yours and will eagerly await your arrival there when your time comes. All that matters now, is the story you live to tell her...

* Stepping out of the hover taxi, Aeryn tosses a few credits to the driver and then shoulders his duffle and turns to face the entrance of the Praxeum. As the hover taxi speeds away, Aeryn does his best to take a calming breath as he tries to quiet his nerves. It had been years since he had been to one of the Conclaves and walked amongst his fellow Jedi, but he knew this is where he needed to be. *
" This is what you would have wanted Master"
* He whispers to himself as he heads up to the entrance of the Praxeum, making his way inside Aeryn looks around curiously wondering where he could find the leader of this Conclave.*

♪♪ "On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is making music with my friends, and I can't wait to get on the road again" ♪♪ Atara Kwaad, Handmaiden of Yun-Ne'Shel and Shaper Adept, sang a sweet melody in galactic basic as she strolled through the Jedi Praxeum on the way to the Horticulture class she was teaching for the benefit of the Jedi Younglings. While her formal title was Professor Kwaad, the children of the Praxeum had taken to referring to her as Professor Mcvongall, which she found quite endearing. Originally her position at the Knossa Praxeum had been as part of a cultural exchange between the Yuuzhan Vong and the natives of Ossus, but as time had gone on, Atara found teaching the young ones had given her life a new sense of meaning. Here, even away from the rest of her kin living in the Garden of Yun-Ne'Shel where they supervised the rebirth and renewal of Ossus, she felt happier than ever before.Pleasant thoughts and a tune on her lip almost caused her to collide with Aeryn as he entered the Praxeum front doors. She managed to arrest her forward momentum at the last moment, throwing up her hands as the elegantly tattooed lines on her face stretched with genuine surprise.♪♪ "Oh, goodness!" ♪♪ She exclaimed in her melodic tone. ♪♪ "My apologies, Sir Jedi, I didn't see you there." Her cerulean blue mqaaq'it ocular implants squinted a little as she observed the newcomer. She placed her five fingered shaper hand over her bosomy chest and bowed her head. ♪♪ "Forgive me, but I don't believe we've been introduced. I'm Atara." ♪♪ She paused, looking somewhat more thoughtful, her light blue eye sacs puffing beneath her glowing mqaaq'it. ♪♪ "Though around these parts I'm more commonly referred to as Professor Mcvongall. You look a little lost. Can I perhaps assist you in anyway?" ♪♪

* Aeryn turns towards the Handmaiden raising his hands up in apologetic gesture after the two had bumped into each other. He had not been very mindful of his own surroundings as he had found himself wandering off in his own thoughts as he had entered the Praxeum. He was surprised at first for he had never seen a Yuuzhan Vong in person before, though he had seen holo vids about their particular race, Aeryn felt a bit lucky to actually meet one in person. *
" I am sorry for bumping into you like that, my mind was elsewhere "
* Aeryn with his right parts his outer cloak and reaches into the inner pocket of his garment and pulls out a small holo emitter. He hands it out towards the Shaper Adapt *
" My name is Aeryn, I have been assigned to the Praxeum here on Ossus in order to complete my trials for the rank of Jedi Knight, Here are my credentials and summons orders from the Council "

Atara's glowing mqaaq'it lit up like fireflies in the night at the genuine delight and excitement she felt at Aeryn's explanation. ♪♪ "You're working to become a Jedi Knight? How wonderful!" ♪♪ She brought her mismatched hands together in an audible clap, her lush lips contorting in her best approximation of an infidel smile, which though awkward was something she had been practising with a great deal of dedication. ♪♪ "Well then you've certainly come to the right place. There is no more noble a force for good in the galaxy than the honourable and gallant Jedi Lords. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the kindness and compassion they have shown to my people." ♪♪
Briefly she allowed the gaze of her ocular implants to linger on the holo-emitter. Mechanical in nature, ergo not of Yun-Yuuzhan's domain, she could not help but feel a tingle of deep seeded revulsion that instantly filled her with shame. Her peoples distaste for non-organic technology was well documented. It had taken the young shaper adept some time to become accustomed to the sights and sounds of machines at odds with her cultural upbringing. She lifted her sparkling pupils once more to meet Aeryn's.
♪♪ "I suppose you could say we are on something of a similar path. I too am in the process of rising through the ranks of my caste. Among Domain Kwaad I am what's known as a shaper adept, but someday I hope to become a Master Shaper like my hero, Mira Yim. She's the Yuuzhan Vong currently responsible for heading up the renewed Ossus Project, an effort to restore the ecological damage done to this world." ♪♪ You're talking too much, Atara. She blinked. Right, the Jedi was here for a reason. Professor Mcvongall pointed down the hall towards where the Praxeum's administrative facilities were housed. ♪♪ "Lord Lucien leads the Jedi Lords, but I'm sure you'll be looking to speak with Countess Bruce who will likely be arranging your trials." ♪♪ She turned back to Aeryn. ♪♪ "However, if you can spare the time, perhaps you would be interested in accompanying me to the Horticulture class I'm instructing out in the gardens? I think it would help the little lordlings to see a future knight participating in our planned activity, to inspire and set a good example." ♪♪

* Aeryn did not know enough about the Vong culture to realize of the possible offense in handing a mechanical object to the Shaper Adept, but he put the device back into the inner fold pocket of his outer robe and stepped slightly to the side *
" I am not sure how well practiced in Horticulture I need to be set an example, but I will try, After you "
* Aeryn knew little of the Jedi Lords, for his own late Master had not thought too highly of them. Then again Many in Order did not think highly of his Master for his ways either. Nevertheless, he would pass whatever challenge was set up before him in order to achieve his Knighthood. *

But no matter what we must walk it, and I have found in other instances, it is an easier journey with stalwart companions at your side. Another deep breath, centering herself again. Trying to take her own words to heart. This was the will of the Force, and though they would not reunite in the way Drauchir seemed to imply, she and Aurora would be reunited in the Living Force when it came to be Abi's time. A small, if not macabre, comfort. She removed her hand and once more clasped it with her other just below her chest and took a step, signalling and end to the brief pause. The hanger wasn't far now. |

When her hand touched his arm, he came to a stop. His yellow, cat like pupils examining her face as she spoke of how her Force, his Magic, guided them. He didn't have a strong belief in deities and impossible to see forces affecting their lives. But he was not about to dissuade someone from pulling hope from such places
A path travelled alone is just that, a path. But one travelled with friends, is a journey well worth had.
As she motioned for them to continue on their path, he resumed his pace again beside her, arriving to the hangar bay a few moments later. He headed across to the rear side of his... vessel? ship? terms he would eventually grow accustomed to addressing it by. He approached the console and reached out, grabbing his medallion and hanging it around his neck. Runya, for now it seemed, had completed her work. He ran a quick rummage through the various storage spaces in case there was anything else he could find to take back with him to his quarters, but turned up nothing. With the once over done, he turned back to the Countess
Thank you for your company. I should be able to find my way back to my quarters, I would not wish to keep you from your other duties any further.

Abi noded to his thanks. No thanks necessary, I am happy to help. And you were keeping me from nothing other than my own thoughts, which I must say has been refreshing. While following Jedi practice, of not allowing despair to over take her, sorrow was unavoidable, and having someone to talk to about it, someone new anyway, had helped greatly. Is there anything else I can help you with this evening?

"How many Sith have you killed?" Asked one very bold child undiplomatically. |

* Aeryn walked into the yard behind Atara and allowed himself to take in the beauty of the fauna, for he had only seen holo footage of the restoration efforts on Ossus and had read a few of the data reports before being sent here. The restoration project was far more magnificent than he had ever thought, and he was glad that the Jedi where once again working to bring the life back to the planet with the help of so many others. It was a nice change of pace for him as he had spent so many years only seeing the galaxy from the dens of scum and villainy that he had so frequently hunted as a Shadow. As his thoughts began to wander his ears where then filled with the sounds of the students before him. Looking out at them, he lets a smile cross his lips as gives a slight bow to the children*
" A great welcome indeed "
* He responds before then being swarmed by the curious Jedi younglings. A light laugh leaves him as he remembers his time as a youngling on Dantooine before being selected by his Master. He could almost see himself in the faces of the young students as he looked at them. Taking a knee, he places a hand on the shoulder of the first student*
" You will soon be as tall if not taller than I, and how amazed you will be when see how tall others in the Galaxy can be "
* While speaking he reaches his right hand under his cloak and unclips the lightsaber from his belt. The black and electrochrome hilt catching the light as he held it in his hand*
" Yes I do carry a lightsaber as one day you all will, but I carry it not as a weapon but as a tool so that I may do the duties assigned to me by the council "
* Aeryn then looks over at the last youngling who asked about the Sith, he was greeted with the memory of his Master's death and then briefly the battles he had fought with dark jedi and Sith underlings, his travels to Coruscant when he would turn in each lightsaber of a defeated mark and watch as their names where removed from the list. But he does not let these memories show on his face he continues to hold his smile and lighthearted gaze*
" How many Sith have I killed ? *Aeryn laughs* Well I can barely manage to make my Holocron meditations on time, I am far from being sent out on missions after any Sith"
* Aeryn looks back over his shoulder at Atara, before turning his attention back the young Jedi pupils before him.
" I am sure we will all have more time to talk later, but I do think we shall pay close attention to the lesson that Professor McVongall has in store for you today"

Abi bowed once more. Then I will take my leave for the evening. Have pleasant dreams. The Countess then turned and made her way back through the Praxeum and to her quarters. She had only just arrived when she received a message from the capital. It seemed someone was trying to reach her. Abi keyed in her authorization and linked to the communication in orbit.

The same to you as well, Countess.
He gave a bow of his own before semi-following her across the Hangar Bay, before heading off toward the guest quarters once entering the myriad of hallways that filled the Temple's interior. It wasn't long before Runya's spirit appeared from within the medallion and floated along beside him, a smirk quite apparent upon her face
:: She seems nice... ::
Stop it.
:: Oh... But I haven't even started yet... ::
Drauchir came to a stop and turned toward Runya, pointing at her as he did so
Then you won't get started. This isn't some summer holiday or dating affair get away. This is a temporary stop until we can figure out where Eryn ended up. And there is someone we are going to find to help us in that quest...
The previous smile had faded from Runya's face as Drauchir scolded her. Perhaps she had indeed gone a little too far in her teasing this time
:: You mean Bragi? ::
Yes, or what ever name he is going by these days...
:: Finding him won't be too hard. I've already compiled a list of places he could be. Despite Brielle's suggestion, he still remains our best hope of finding Eryn. ::
It wasn't the news he was hoping to hear, but unlike the stories Bragi wrote, life was not so easy. He turned and resumed his march back toward the guest quarters
I'll take some time to let my injuries heal. Then we can approach the Countess about help tracking The Skald down.
Runya gave a nod of acknowledgement before her spirit disappeared once more, leaving Drauchir to finish his journey back to his room to lay down and get some sleep

Under the careful skill of Leoderas, the Zovu-class Fast Cruiser descended down through the atmosphere and made its approach into the Praxeum hangar bay some time after their last transmission from Countess Bruce. The ship settled down upon its landing gear before the loading ramp extended. There was a brief gap in time before the trio of Jedi Pathfinders descended the ramp. Rhiannon stood out front, while Leo and Sylina pushed the hover dolly down the ramp behind her. The giant crystal had been strapped in place to ensure it did not fall off.

Abi raised a hand in greeting as she witnessed the arrival and disembarking of the new comers. This was a busy night. But she felt obligated to to see it all done, in spite of her weariness from the day. Her eyes though were drawn past the leading pathfinder and to the large crystal the brought with them. Her curiosity officially piqued, the Jedi spoke up. How may I assist you? I can arrange lodgings and a lab here in the Praxeum for you and your find.

The Jedi Lords were a new and foreign sect as far as her and her companions were concerned and thus their customs were unknown to the Pathfinders. Those that assumed the title of Lord or Lady, at least in her experience, typically adhered to very formal practices and expected you to know them. However, when the Countess provided a less formal greeting, Rhiannon raised her hand and waved back in return. Knowing that it was better to adapt and follow their lead than to stand on ceremony. She came to a stop with Leo and Sylina doing the same a couple feet behind as Abigail came over to greet them, enquiring as to how she might be of assistance to them. Leo and Sylina looked to one another, confused. Rhiannon spared a turn back to them, before returning her focus to the Countess
I'm afraid you misunderstand our intent here... While we will certainly appreciate your offer of lodgings, we are not here to study this crystal, rather... We're here to return it to its rightful owner...
She moved around to the side of the hover dolly. Placing one hand upon the Crystal whilst motioning Abigail over with her other hand
We are Pathfinders fresh from Ambria, where the Dark Jedi Order were recently expelled. We were tasked with conducting a inspecting of the Temple there and returning anything that we found... When we conducted our search, we were aware of Countess Valhalla's fall and so sought to see if we might retrieve what had not been brought back. Instead, we found this...
The crystal was a little larger than a person in size and encased within was the armour belonging to Aurora, which would be well in view for Abigail at this stage
I am lead to believe she was a... Liege-Lady of yours? Forgive me, I am not quite familiar with how your Order addresses such matters...
