Cormond was the capital city of Brentaal IV. It lay along the salt flats between the Suporro Sea and the Gravaal Mountains. Cormond's Trade Hall was the main center for the planet's commercial interests. It also contained the Cormond Museum of Arts.

A peaceful day dawned in the city of Cormond, a day like any other with the Trade Hall slowly coming to life with the day's merchants selling their wares. A few hours into the day a commotion on the far end turned several heads in that direction.
Get her! Don't let her escape!
Three men were pushing patrons and merchants out of the way in a furious pursuit of a young woman, running nimbly around the locals, attempting to get away. Her dark hair whipped behind her as she found a clear section free of people and darted forward at full speed, turning a corner and heading in another direction. Almost ready to drop from exhaustion, she skirts another corner and hides behind a large crate in a stall and presses her body flat against it, waiting as one... two... three men run by in pursuit.
The woman waits a few minutes, catching her breath before peaking to see if the coast was clear... She slowly slipped back the way she had come, running in a totally different direction than the men chasing her

I honestly did not know why i was here.
That isn't exactly true, I knew why i was here. because i had a vision of a potential force user. and this totally legitimizes why i am standing on the seedy planet with every cred to my name in a briefcase trying to find a girl.
Ok, Being vague, i could find a girl anywhere through here. and they were all living "The Life" … I was looking for one girl, who potentially had the power of the force within her veins.
The clock chimed the quarter hour as i felt the stillness in the wind stir ever so slightly. I knew what was coming, or rather who.

The young woman darted around another stall, another patron before chancing a glance behind her, smiling when she didn't see her chasers. Turning her head to the front a moment to late, she bumped into a man just standing in the middle of the walkway, holding a briefcase. The force of bumping into him sent her stumbling a moment, but she quickly regained her balance and kept running. Just as she got to the next corner, one of the three men came around it and tackled her to the ground
I've got her!
He sat on the small of her back, holding her wrists in one hand and shoving her face into the ground with the other. Struggling with her to contain her as the other two men caught up, fighting for breath.

The wind paused briefly before it rushed… OUT OF MY LUNGS. I took one look at the maiden, and i realized she was who i saw in the vision. Rushing to my feet i ran to the corner to watch the poor girl get backhanded by thugs trying to "teach her a lesson" for running away"
"That'll teach ya, ya dirty Geisha. No good comes from runnin."
This caused my temper to Boil, but i attempted to keep my cool as i strolled past to the situation
"Now, is that any way to treat a young lady?"
"I ain't seen no lady Misser, just a dirty Geisha… and we can't sell her out because she needs to lern herself sum manners"
"That won't be necessary gentlemen" i open the suitcase and reveal the Cache of Credits that i brought with me, and hope it is enough to buy the girl's freedom.

The man sitting ontop of the woman looked up at the new comer, shoving the woman's face into the dirt a little harder as he did. Contemplating with looks to the other two men he nodded.
That would just about do it I think
He got off the woman, but kicked her hard in the gut before turning and walking off after grabbing the suit case. Her bluish-black hair covered her face as she curled up tightly and coughed in pain. The man turned around a few feet away and glared down at the girl before looking back up at the stranger.
She's keen to running you best watch her closely. A firm slap'll deter her for a bit.

Moving quickly she scrambled up to her feet and pushed him away from her. She looked at him a moment before glancing down at her clothes and dusting the dirt off them.
I am nobody's property....
She looked up at him with something of fear in her gaze, her voice was soft when she spoke, and a little shaky

I looked at her with confusion in my eyes until pieced things together from her point of view, she must believe that i wanted to own her as those hideous men had before me. This was most certainly not true. And i had one thing to prove it
"My dear, you have me confused. I did not pay to own you, i paid to free you… for you see"
I reached to a Hiden pocket inside my cloak. removing the one artifact that could prove who i was
"I am Jedi."

For the longest moment she looked confused, staring into his hands then her eyes widened and her cheeks reddened, she bowed her head towards him
Th-thank you then.....
She had heard of Jedi, but had never met one, and this was a little overwhelming to her already adrenaline enduced state. The young woman wobbled slightly and put a hand out to a wall to support herself
Wh-why are you here? I mean... on Brentaal....?

It was my turn to blush. she had caught me in a trance with her radiance. i was staring into her sea blue eyes as I realized she had asked me a direct question
"Well… uhm… you see… this will sound really cheesy but the force led me here."
I realized she probably did not know much about the force or jedi, so i quickly elaborated
"the force is this mystical truth inside everyone. I was communing with it one day to find inspiration, when I saw a vision of a Maiden in distress who's untapped powers would be corrupted if she was not quickly found…"

She slid down the wall and rested her head against it, listening to him speak. After a few moments she opened her eyes and looked up at him her cheeks returning to a normal color while she took him in
So.... some magical power told you that I was in trouble?
The woman closed her eyes again and started to wipe the dirt off of her face with the sleeve of her robes
Corrupted? what do you mean corrupted?
Looking back up at him, there was a curiosity behind the dulling fear

My blush grew as i stowed my weapons, I already did not want to hurt this girl, but now i wanted to protect me with my all…
"there is a holy war going on, and the bad guys are doing everything they can to exterminate every force user in the galaxy…. i do not wonder what will happen if they get more force users in their armies."

She stood up slowly, her gaze never leaving him, and closed the distance between them.
So.... you are recruiting me? I'm not a Jedi..... I'm just.... me............
After a moment she tilted her head slightly and looked at him, pink tinging her cheeks again as she looked into his eyes
What is your name?

I reached my hand to caress her velvet cheek, my brain was telling me not to go any farther, for i was just perpetuating the practice from which i had saved this girl. but something about her just made me want to wrap my arms around her and make her mine.
"I… I am Diamonte.."
I nearly closed the distance when a vision of Mia appeared and shocked me backwards
"No…"
I scooted down the wall
"I don't know what you are kid, but i am intoxicated by you… and i can't be. I want to build a relationship with you… but i don't want the basis to be Infatuation."

His touch made her flinch, as if ready for a blow, her entire body cringing away from his hand. Once he had spoken she seemed to relax
Di-... Diamonte
Her voice was smooth as velvet as she watched him back away from her, jumping as some merchant shouted at a customer across the road. She backed away from both Diamonte and the merchant, looking rather frightened.
C-can we..... leave....? I am......
She had almost said frightened but she didn't want to seem weak to him
M-my name is M-... Mistia... by the way...
She looked down at her shoes and shrugged, dismissively... It's not as if anyone would care what a slaves name was

Gaining a little confidence, I removed my outer robe and placed it on ms. Mistia's shoulders, I was fortunate that instead of my normal clothes, I was wearing my Jedi robes I had specially made with inwoven thermal tech, so even without my coat I was kept warm in this winter season.
"Certainly Mistia. My ship is not too far away, please put this coat on, it will keep you warm"
My smile was honest as I led her to my shuttle, which had designing roots in the hapan style of vessels. Once we had boarded, I primed the engines and we took off before the thugs realized the creds I gave them were counterfeits

Argos had been on his penthouses' balcony, overlooking the market area as it hustled and bustled with the sound of trade. It was a kind of music that always helped him think, and remind himself how he was fortunate enough to never have to slave in a dirty peddler's stall.
He smirked at the thought, as he brought the fluted glass to his lips and drank deeply of the expensive ambrosia he'd acquired from a very lucrative Corellian business deal. Ah, this was the life, a life that had been handed to him on a sliver platter. No, a platinum platter, lined with electrum and bedecked with engravings of his families entitlements. House Echion had been a prominent house on Brentaal since the Old Republic. His ancestors were merchants, explorers, and because of them and their hard work. He was able to enjoy the finer things in life... extremely fine things.
Argos heard the sliding door to the balcony open and turned to see his servant droid. "What is it now, Zed?" Argos sighed out, not wanting to deal with whatever had caused his servant to disturb him.
Zed didn't answer at first, gliding over to his Master before giving him a bow. My apologies Master Argos, but the conference with the Senate is to be made now. The droid replied in a rather equivalently modulated voice. It actually sounds natural, not mechanical at all. Oh, the wonders of limitless wealth.
Argos gave Zed a grimace before shrugging to himself. "I suppose I was born to do this..." He said halfheartedly, as he walked past his droid, giving it the fluted glass. "And who am I to question him or the whims of the Whills?" It was stated as a question, but Zed knew not to answer. Nothing was actually rhetorical, it was just fact with the young man.
Very well, Master Argos. I will prep your holo-progector for the summit. Zed finished before following Argos into the expansive and lavishly furnished penthouse.

Argos sauntered his way towards the bar and fixed himself another drink, before flopping down on an exquisitely crafted couch. He laid down for a moment in the deep burgundy cushions of fine silks, taking a sip of his ambrosia. "Who am I supposed to talk to again?" Argos yelled out to Zed.
The Chancellor himself, Master Argos. Zed replied form behind the reclined man, before the droid made his way around the couch, putting a portable holo-projector on the Corellian oak table in front of Argos.
"I see..." Said the man plainly, righting himself up and flattening his attire with several soft passes of his hand. "Lets get this started." He finished with a nod, clearing his throat and finishing his drink.
zed gave his master a nod and activated the projector.

It had been months...
Argos had been lead on a wide goose-chase through the seemingly endless bureaucracy of the Republic. His induction to the Senate had been blundered, lost, and over looked now more times than he would have ever admitted to his highfalutin acquaintances and clientele. And in a way he was glad that none of them knew of his ambitious attempts at joining the senate; even if it had been in the hopes of gaining power and prestige.
Master Argos... Came the familiar voice of Zed, as his master laid in his bath as it steamed. Will you be making another petition to the senate today?
Argos didn't answer at first. He continued the stare at the vaulted ceiling, as the mineral bath around him soothed his body. "No. I think not." He finally answered his servant, in an almost trance-like voice. "I have grown tired of their loopholes and transparent lies."
So, you have other plans then? Zed asked, as he gathered a towel up and walked over towards his master. It is very uncharacteristic for you to be swayed off a goal, Master.
"That is true." Argos replied, giving the droid his dues with a curt laugh. "But I have received word of something even bigger on the horizon." He continued as he stood up from his bath, and stepped out onto the marbled bathroom floor. "It seems that there isn't much meat left on the Republic." Zed handed Argos his towel, which he wrapped around his waste, before starting off towards a fogged mirror which nearly spanned the length of one wall. "And I've had word from several credible spacer sources that there are lines being drawn up as we speak." Argos wiped away the condensation and stared at his prefect face staring back at him. He gave it a boyish grin before running a comb through his long blonde hair. "Lines of attrition between the Republic, the Mandalorians, the Jedi, and others are circulating..." Argos looked back to Zed with a smile. "The War has given us much, but this." He grinned. "Will give us so so much more."
