*Great she was going to get in without having to raise her weapons which was a good thing. *
"Sure ill be no trouble, and no not been here lon...."
*She was cut off by the strange voice from a male who had seem to come from the winds of sand themself's. A little unsettled by this sudden appearance she could not help like the guys style and sound advise. She grins to herself which is plan to see. And as the man walks past she talks to his back as he pays no attention to her or the other. Either he saw us as being small and not worth his time or we were just like the sand he walks on just there.*
"Good advise ill remember that".
*Vollen turns to the other girl and started to walk closer to her lowering her guard, once she is close enough she hold out her hand*
"Vollen Dor and you are?"

*Crystaall only ignored the man who felt himself impoetant to interrupt rheir conversation and then abrubtly leave. She only nodded at Vollen, not caring for her outstrecthed hand.*
"I'm heading inaide. Follow if you wish Vollen, and its Crystaall by the way."
*Crystaall began to walk inside, expecting Vollen to follow. She intentionally wandered the halls, looking for Anven and his company. A few tuskens stared at her. Crystaall suspected this to be because she held the rifle of a tusken clan leader on her back. She ripped the arm coverings for her cybernetic armsm revealing them to Vollen. She kept her hand close to her lightsaber, but released her right fist into a relaxed position. Crystaall questioned Vollen's buisness here but held her voice, realizing Bollen most likely had the same thought.*

Nartaga shook his head as the voices of the crystal quieted. The warmth of the crystal disappeared, and he lowered his hand from his chest. The light from the crystal around his neck had dissipated. He shrugged.-Nartaga- "Do not worry, Anven. It is nothing serious, as far as the Elder or myself are concerned. I suppose the Elder was right when he said you are not here often enough."Nartaga chuckled a bit and then pointed up at the plateau. He figured it was best to change the subject. The Kumumgah crystal was a secret known only to the Elder and Nartaga, and it needed to stay that way for as long as possible.-Nartaga- "I am guessing that you saw the Jawas. They are from the two Jawa clans that wished to join us in peace. They are working on another ship up on the plateau. Perhaps soon we shall have a fleet of junk ships?"Nartaga laughed a bit as his own joke.-Nartaga- "Do not worry, Anven. You have not missed much. How long do you and your friend plan on staying?" Anven looked at Nartaga for a long moment as he tried to make sense of what he had seen or what he had thought he had seen. He wasn't sure of it but he had thought while talking with Nartaga a strange glow had come from Nartaga's chest but Nartaga had covered the area up as if in pain for a moment. Either way this illness Nartaga had spoken of had Anven a little worried for his old friend and as always he wanted to help in any way he could but it seemed Nartaga did not want to talk about it would just pass if off as nothing serious. In respect towards what he thought was Nartaga's wishes to keep off of this subject Anven would not question Nartaga any further about it and would just leave it alone for now but he would be keeping a close eye on his friend for now on to ensure it truly is nothing serious.Anven looked towards the plateau where Nartaga was pointing hiding his thoughts and making it seem he noticed nothing of Nartaga's change of subject and so just continued on the conversation casually with him. "Yes I had noticed them when I was landing I must admit I was a bit worried that they may scrap my ship if I landed outside of the enclave though i see my worries were misplaced if they have joined us in peace." Anven looked back at Nartaga with a slight smile on his face though it was hidden from sight by his helmet. "I could always help bring new junk ships to you to help with that fleet you are wishing for." Anven chuckled as he looked around the enclave as Nartaga said he hadn't missed much. "Oh I haven't missed much eh I do believe the Elder tells me otherwise that I have missed much." Anven let out a short sigh before continue. "I do not know honestly how long I will be staying though i have a feeling it may be for some time as for my friend well I guess she will stay as long as she feels like it unless you throw her out of course."

Nartaga motioned for Anven to walk, and leave Anara and Malystrix to talk. Nartaga started to walk to the Bantha pens. He patted the heads of several Banthas that came walking up to the pair. It seemed this was Nartaga's favorite place to speak to Anven. He reached into one of his pockets and took out a small treat, and the Bantha's long tongue wrapped around the Tusken's arm and covered every bit of it in Bantha saliva. All Nartaga could do was laugh and after it withdrew it's tongue, and the treat, shake his arm off.
-Nartaga- "You've missed some...but not as much as you think. I've done many things since you've last been here...lived more seasons of my life than I would have, normally....But all is well, considering."
Nartaga shrugged at the mention of bringing more ships to the clan. It would be rude to turn down the offer, but he had to be careful with the Chieftains of the other clans watching his every move.
-Nartaga- "Anven, at any other time I would gladly accept the offer, but the Chieftains of the other Clans that are in the alliance with us...they do not accept Outsiders. It is enough that they want to unleash more war on the cities of this planet...They barely accept Anara, especially given hers and my relationship....I..."
Nartaga suddenly felt his face grow very hot, and looked down at the ground for a moment. A Bantha yawned in the background.
-Nartaga- "What I'm trying to say is we're trying to keep a low profile, to get things hammered down into place, and start teaching the other clans about accepting Outsiders..."

Anven followed Nartaga along to the Bantha pens and looked on with amusement as Nartaga fed one of the Banthas that had gathered around the two of them. When Nartaga began to speak again Anven listened carefully to him at first staying silent as Nartaga talks slightly about what he had been up to while Anven was away. When it came to the delicate situation they kind of faced Anven just nodded slowly at some points showing his understanding to what Nartaga was saying for he made good points.
"Ah I had not thought about the other clans I am to use to this one being so open to outsiders that I had nearly forgotten other clans look down on me for being an outsider." Anven looked off into the distance as he also thought about what complications his staying may bring for also being an outsider like Anara. "Perhaps it may be best that I hide my presence while I stay here so I do not upset any of the other clans."

Nartaga held up his hands, trying to dissuade Anven.
-Nartaga- "No, no, no. I didn't mean it that way. I just meant that Outsider's helping us would make us appear weak and the Chieftain's might try some type of power grab. I've sensed some of their intentions, and the Alliance is...fragile....They will tolerate you...but if something like what happened when those Sith attacked....."
The thought of that night caused Nartaga's fist to tighten. He relaxed his hand and rested his right hand on the gate, and several more Banthas came and layed down near the fence to watch.
-Nartaga- "If something like that happens...It could break the alliance, and re-spark the war we just got out of. I always find it funny that whenever one Outsider comes...all kinds of others seem to appear out of nowhere."

Anven chuckled at Nartaga's reaction to his idea of just hiding around the Tusekns for it not only would make the other clans not know another outsider was here but ti would also make him able to hide from the outside world the Jensaarai in particular. It been a while since he had well time to just chill so to speak and now with Crystaall here who knows what strange excitement it may bring for if one Jensaarai found him who knows if others will follow. Still it was a comforting thought to know the other clans would tolerate him and so he wouldn't be complicating things more for Nartaga. One thing did bother him though and it was what Nartaga brought up about the sith lords before for he was right when one outsider showed up many more always seem to appear and so who knows what was going to happen now.
"Well perhaps I will stay longer this time than I usually do until we can be sure no problems arise from outsiders showing up out of nowhere so to speak." Anven just stopped there but there were other reasons he wanted to stick around like this illness Nartaga has been going through he did want to make sure it was nothing. Then there was that he kinda did just want to hide from the galaxy for a change and where better to do that than on Tatooine.

Nartaga seemed to stare off out into the dunes for a moment, as if he sensed something, but he shook his head and turned his attention back to Anven. He started walking off again, and started making his way to his hut.
-Nartaga- "Well I am glad to have you here to help, but I pray to the Suns that it does not come to that."
Nartaga unlocked his door and invited Anven into his home. Walking in, the aura of the place almost seemed different. And Anara's scent lingered in the air. Nartaga moved some things around and gestured for Anven to sit on a cushion on the ground around a very short table. Nartaga turned on an energy cell powered heater and put a pot on the burner. Pouring water into the pot breathed in some of the steam and waited for the water to boil.
-Nartaga- "So what news is there from the Outsider worlds? I'm sure there is always something large and exciting happening?"
It only took a few minutes for the water to come to a rolling boil, and Nartaga added the H'Kak to the water, making some H'Kak tea. He set the pout in the center of the table and got two metal cups, and poured Anven and himself some tea. He sipped it a bit and then set the cup down.
-Nartaga- "What word we have picked up on from the Jawas, there has been rumors of a large war about to break out between the Mandalorians and Jedi?"

"Good advise ill remember that". Jud nodded his head to the Rattakian female (Vollen). At least she seemed to have a grasp on the subject and some sense, unlike her human counterpart (Crys) . Who seemed vaguely familiar; though Jud couldn't place a finger on why. Never mind that... Jud thought, as he continued on his way, knowing the human female would undoubtedly ignore his warnings completely. Jud gave this eventuality a shrug and thought no more of the cold shoulder treatment he had just received from a lesser-being. She'd learn soon enough how the Tuskens took to being called 'sand people'. Jud smirked at the thought, he did truly hope that she'd be ripped limb from limb by an angry mob before his eye. It seemed only right, for such a grave insult to the Tuskens and their culture.
Night had descend rapidly on the vast wastes of the Dune Sea, seemingly following Jud's approach to the Tusken stronghold. How long had it been? Almost ten seasons Jud reckoned since his last visit with the R'Crurak Clan, and their young leader Nartaga. The first campfires of sentries were being lit as Jud neared the entrance of the Enclave, and Jud knew full well that he would be ill welcomed, especially after the way he had left relations - all those seasons ago. Jud took down his hood and raised his hands up in a show of submission as the sentries realized he was approaching. They cried out to one another, grabbing rusty gaderffii and worn bolt-throwers to defend themselves and to possibly bludgeon Jud if they so chose to. The six Tuskens held their ground, brandishing their weapons as Jud stopped meters from the entrance and only a few feet from the nervous guards. " I'm here to speak with Nartaga and the Elders..." Jud said, in his best Tusken, or rather that's what he hoped he had said. He was rusty. The Guards stopped their shouting and one of the six stepped forward, a necklace of juvenile Krayt Dragon bones dangled loosely from his swathed neck, showing that he was the eldest of the bunch and would be speaking on the Clan's behalf. " Old Mummy, you are not welcome into the domain of the R'Crurak... Your old bones should be with our ancestors, but you plague our Clan with your presence. Be gone, dead one..." Said the Tusken with a wave of his gaderffii towards the darkening dunes... or at least that is what Jud had translated from it. Jud lowered his hands and sat down where he had been standing, taking up a cross-legged meditation posture on the still warm sand. Jud watched as the Tuskens exchanged glances and knew that they were afraid. They knew who he was, what he was capable of, and he wondered if they would forcefully try to move him from their land, or if they would do as he asked... just to get Jud to hopefully leave, after his business had been completed." Go get Nartaga." Jud said again, firmly. "... and if he is unable or unwilling to talk to me out here." Jud smiled and pointed at the entrance to the Enclave. " I will find him in there..."

A desperate banging on the door of Nartaga's hut. He stood up quickly and answered it. At the door was a R'Crurak Sentry, who immediately began talking to Nartaga, trying to explain the sudden interruption.
-Sentry in Tusken- "He is here! The Demon is here! He has come for you, High Councilor! He demanded you speak with him outside, or he would force his way in!"
Nartaga shook his head at the bad luck he was having. He had to have guessed that the good luck of finding Anara would be followed by extremely bad luck, and the return of the Ancient Sith was bad luck indeed. He hoped he would be able to speak with Jud'dayus on good terms, despite their previous history. Nartaga bowed to Anven.
-Nartaga- "Please forgive me Anven but something very...important has come up. Make yourself at home. I will hopefully return momentarily.....There is someone I must meet with."
Nartaga grabbed his gaderffii and slung it across his back, and then ran after the Sentry to the Enclave Wall. Nartaga climbed the steps up to the parapets of the wall and looked down at the man, for Nartaga knew that was all he was. A man, but still a very powerful man. It was his longevity that had long ago made the superstitious Tuskens to curse his presence as not only an omen, but a curse in itself. Nartaga felt the familiar rise of fear in his throat, but beat it down. He was older, wiser, and stronger than the last time they had crossed paths. With another few steps Nartaga jumped off the wall and into the sand. He looked up at the darkening sky. It was a bit early for night, but he guessed this had to do with the one standing in front of him. Nartaga advanced towards Jud'dayus at a steady pace, and stopped several feet from the Old One, and simply bowed.
-Nartaga- "Jud'dayus....It has been....a long time since our last encounter. To what do I owe this.....pleasure?"
Nartaga chose his words carefully. He did not want to risk the Sith letting loose his anger on the Enclave. It would only destabilize what he was working so hard for. He wondered if the Old Sith could read his mind, and see his thoughts, but dismissed it. He raised several barriers in his mind, but hoped it was not too late.

"Jud'dayus....It has been....a long time since our last encounter. To what do I owe this.....pleasure?" " You've trained your mind... it's stronger since our last meeting." Jud said while not answering Nartaga's question with his characteristic selective hearing, before locking eyes with the matured Tusken. " I can barely hear the thoughts running through your head, but the fear, the hesitation still remains." Jud got to his feet with a slight huff and brushed his robes off before speaking to Nartaga again. " I'm here because it seems you have been watching over the Temple in my long absence. I'm not sure why... but." Jud paused for a second, as if he had something stuck in his throat. " I thank you..." Came the words, and before the gravity of the situation could be processed, Jud had naturally gone on to a separate subject. " I was called to Korriban, and for a time I had duties there..." Jud said with a souring face, as he thought of the failed Empire and the loss of his title as Grand Kissai. But as soon as his mood soured it shifted to a cool calmness as he continued to speak. "... After the fall of the Empire, I continued searching for the Tome." Jud looked at Nartaga, he wouldn't know what the Old Sith was talking about, but what did it matter if he spoke of the Tome to a lowly Tusken? None, Jud thought as he continued. " I have come up empty handed, and I am tired. So, I returned home to re-energize myself." " And that is where the story begins for our meeting, Nartaga. Your men informed me of their purpose as sentries to the Temple, under your orders. You must command quite a bit of respect, if you're able to make your brethren stay at the Devil's Keep..." Jud finished with a smile. Just then Jud sensed something. Something old, a surge of sorts that twinged as his senses. It was the unmistakable ebb of power from close by. Jud's eye narrowed slightly, though he kept his cheery exterior on for Nartaga. " Impossible..." Jud whispered to himself, as he Inwardly searched for the truth in what he had just briefly felt.

Nartaga seemed completely thrown off balance at Jud'dayus's thanking. It was not how he had expected things to go, to say the least. He had envisioned a battle that would leave this section of Tatooine soaked in blood for the rest of Tatooine's existence. He had not expected a civil conversation, though it was a change of pace. Nartaga tried to form words but he was dumbfounded for another moment, until he regained control of his tongue.
-Nartaga- "I can say that this is a surprise...But I will be honest. They were not only watching the Temple, they were watching for you. The Sentries were to alert me the moment you...returned?"
The last words seemed to taste like a rotten Hubba Gourd in his mouth as it passed his lips. Nartaga was still unsettled. The smile itself that this creature put on his face made Nartaga even more uneasy.
-Nartaga- "Things have changed, Jud'dayus. Tusken and Jawa clans have come together in peace, and we are prosperous. We have a ship, and allies in the stars. I do not fear you...I fear no man....I fear what your presence here might mean. The Elder has made prediction for the future, as well as the past, and many have come true...."
When Jud'dayus's eyes narrowed, as if scanning him, Nartaga's mind felt like it exploded. His hand instinctively went to the crystal around his neck, but he stopped himself. It could sense that the Sith had sensed it, and the crystal that was already a part of Nartaga was panicked. Voices in Ancient Kumumgah flooded his thoughts. He beat them down, trying to stop them from overwhelming him. A few moments later Nartaga composed himself and continued speaking.
-Nartaga- "Tatooine has taken you in many times in the past. It is as much your home, as it is ours. She sees purpose in you...what that purpose is....I can only imagine. If you wish..."
Nartaga hesitated with finishing his sentence. He was unsure what would happen, but he would rather be on Jud'dayus's good side than not. Better to have him as something akin to an ally than an enemy.
-Nartaga- "...I have some freshly made H'Kak tea. I invite you to come share a cup with myself and my other guest, Anven Firestar."
Nartaga thought this conversation more uncomfortable and forced than trying to win a bet staring at the Suns during midday. Nartaga whistled and spun his hand in the air, and a few moments later the Gates to the Enclave opened, allowing passage for Nartaga, and Jud'dayus if he chose to accept the invite.

*Crystaall sighed and walked out into the valley's center which contained a pen for banthas. She took off her robes, letting it fly with the wind that took it away. Walking up to the pen, Crystaall kneeled down as a baby bantha made its way to the gate. Crystaall petted it and whispered nurturing words as it attempted to nibble her metal fingers.*
"The tuskens here are worry-some of outsiders. One that carrys a tusken clan leader's rifle makes me one to watch. But that man from earlier is a sith. I've seen him before. Watch yourself."

*Vollen watched Crystaall petting the baby bantha, It was cute in a strange kind of way. She moved close to the pen and the Large bantha made a load noise at her as if sencing something in her she stepped back away from it. The looked down at Crystaall*
"Yeah am getting a shever every time they look your way..... Were you get it from? Kill one? given one?"
*More she talk about them and herself less she talks about me. "Just bury that force deep down" She thinks to herself. She knew she was no good person and was sure to go down a dark path. She was also thinking that one of the rifles would look good on her but how to get one was another thing.*
" A sith... him, kind of like his style"
*That was a stupid thing to say to a ex-jedi*

*Crystaall got up and patted Vollen lightly on her shoulder*
"You'd look better in that than him. And I can sense your worry. Why do you hold fear so close to your heart? I was once a sith, 3 years ago. It was brutal. I nearly killed my daughter. But, I learned from my dark path and I am a better woman, a better protectoe of the innocent and my allies because of it. I question your presence here. What brings you here from your home world Vollen?"
*Crystaall has seen few Rattakis in her time and even in her young age she felt the galaxy making her wiser than a person twice her age.*

"I can say that this is a surprise...But I will be honest. They were not only watching the Temple, they were watching for you. The Sentries were to alert me the moment you...returned? Things have changed, Jud'dayus. Tusken and Jawa clans have come together in peace, and we are prosperous. We have a ship, and allies in the stars.

I have some freshly made H'Kak tea. I invite you to come share a cup with myself and my other guest, Anven Firestar." J ud listened intently to what the Tusken Chieftain had to say. Information was Jud's forte, and no sentence went unheard. Nartaga hadn't expected the Sith to ever return to the sand swept homeworld of his birth. And if Jud understood the Tusken right, they didn't even know he had been off-world for all that time, the Clan had only "watched" the Temple basically to make sure that if their Devil was in his tomb... That he would stayed there, no longer able to plague the living. The thought of a people "caring" that much about him, made Jud smirk in the most morbid of ways. Knowing that it was out of shear fear and a longing for his death, rather then any sense of brotherhood, friendship or love. Jud chuckled slightly at his own insanity, and the prolonged misfortune of his existence... But where would he begin, if he were to try to explain to Nartaga the truth of his longevity? What he had seen, what he had done? How would he even try to convince the Tusken that he was one of the good guys? Jud knew it was an impossibility, so he would leave the Chieftain and his brethren with their stories and legends, and the fear of what he wasn't.
Then Nartaga mentioned alliances between the various tribes of natives, but it was the allies from the stars which caused Jud's eyebrow to raise in interest. As if sensing this Nartage changed the subject to his nonexistent fear of Jud, or otherwise. Jud gave it a moment then openly laughed at Nartaga's bravado, before saying. " You might have become stronger for your people and yourself, but your fear of me has a place... keep it close to you, it may help you at some point." It was a cryptic comment as many others that seemed to come from the Old Sith's mouth readily. Jud had always thought he'd given good advice, but it seemed that most - if not all - thought that his babblings were just senility. " As for my being on this planet again..." Jud thought for a second and nodded. He knew he was here to help regenerate himself, but how could he explain it to Nartaga? Jud sighed and said. " I'm here only to rest, and in saying that. I will take you up on that tea, Nartaga." Jud bowed in a respectful way and thought of the name, Firestar. He knew he had heard the name before, yet he couldn't put a picture to the name until he remembered Tanith and her Jensaarais on Contruum. Jud's thought then went to his lost friend, Soulless. He hoped his battle brother was well. After another second of thought Jud looked to Nartaga and said. " Lead the way..."

Nartaga still seemed dubious about the only being more whispered about than the Elder was about to sit down and have tea with him. He seemed to pause with every step, as if not believing this was real. He led Jud'dayus up to his hut, where he opened the door and let the Ancient One inside first. After he got in, Nartaga followed and fetched another metal cup, and poured some tea for Jud'dayus. He handed him the tea and gestured at one of the cushions around the table, where Anven was also sitting. Nartaga sat down and began talking. He hoped it was not too obvious he was trying to distract the Old Sith from the crystal, which he knew that he had felt earlier. He could still feel the panicked voices of the Kumumgah from the crystal he had absorbed, what seemed like years ago.
-Nartaga- "The ways that Tuskens live is changing Jud'dayus...We have an elected Council...Things are getting better. The Mandalorians have disappeared as far as our scouts can tell...We will have Tusken settlements on planets all over the Galaxy within a Generation! The future of the Ghorfa is brighter now than it has ever been!"
Nartaga took a sip of his tea, which by now was kind of cold but still good nonetheless. He decided to ask Jud'dayus a question.
-Nartaga "Jud'dayus...Why did you originally come to this planet? Originally? You are almost as Old as we believe the Elder to be. You must have seen many things. The records you must have....How extensive are your records on Tusken Raiders?"

Anven sat in Nartaga's hut a little uncomfortably since he was still in his armor but it was at least not impossible to do. He had removed his helmet and drank away at the tea Nartaga had made and was about to continue the conversation when someone came bang at the door. When Nartaga answered it Anven listened to what the sentry had to say and was a little interested in this Demon he had mentioned.
Anven only nodded to Nartaga as he apologized and then quickly left to meet this person who had the sentries all freaked out apparently. Of course Anven now sat there alone in Nartgaga's hut and so for a few minutes he just kinda whistled to himself not quite sure what to do until Nartaga came back. It was a while filled with an awkward silence before he saw Nartaga again and accompanied back with another being one he was sure he had seen before though must of been a long time ago for he couldn't really tell who he was.

Upon entering Nartaga's hut, Jud recognized the armored figure of Anven Firestar and gave him a curt nod. Nartaga already had a piping hot cup of tea for the Old Sith before motioning to a cushion that was opposite of both men. Jud sat crossing his legs in a meditative position before taking up the metal cup he had been given and quietly recited a Tusken prayer before taking down the cowl of his hood. Until this very point in time Jud's physical features had been nearly obscured, except for his thin lipped smile. His silvery grey hair was long, as it pooled out of his discarded hood and over his shoulders. His skin was the color of aged parchment and stretched tightly over the typography of his skeletal face, making Jud look more like an animated corpse than a person. His eyes were recessed slightly into his skull, and the only way that the two men knew Jud wasn't completely eyeless came from the flickering ambient light, giving only the slightest glint of a single eye in the dark purplish rimmed depths of Jud's eye sockets. His thin corpse-lips pursed as his skeletal hands tipped the cup towards his mouth.
As if watching magic, Jud's complexion instantly started to change the moment the warm tea hit his lips and was swallowed. It was a visible wave of color and vitality that started to flush through the Old Sith's face. His dead pallor diminished into a healthy tanned hue, and his lips became rosy again, while his gaunt skeletal features started to melt away into a younger face. Even Jud's hair darkened slightly into a very honey-like brown. Jud's single eye glinted a ruby red before he smiled, taking another sip of the tea. " Ah, that hit the spot... and exactly what I needed." Jud sighed slightly as he looked to Nartaga. " I did tell you I was tired." "The ways that Tuskens live is changing Jud'dayus...We have an elected Council...Things are getting better. The Mandalorians have disappeared as far as our scouts can tell...We will have Tusken settlements on planets all over the Galaxy within a Generation! The future of the Ghorfa is brighter now than it has ever been!" Jud just listened. He had no opinion on any of the Tusken's matters."Jud'dayus...Why did you originally come to this planet? Originally? You are almost as Old as we believe the Elder to be. You must have seen many things. The records you must have....How extensive are your records on Tusken Raiders?"
Jud took another sip of H'Kak, then leaned forward. " I exiled myself here... away from the rest, after Ruusan." Jud didn't add more to it before continuing. " I know certain truths... things of your kind's past, but understand I am a scholar of the Force, and the furthest thing from an anthropologist."
