A troubled time....

[Darth Nergul]

A shadow... a shadow... yes a shadow... A shadow stood amongst ruins... ruins... filled with things that mere words cannot describe. Many died from just the sight... the sight of the cause or of the effect. A couple live to tell the tale, but all have at least been mortally wounded. Some have gone mad... with madness that nobody could explain. Now the records of the tales are lost, only one man remains in a far away Galaxy. Perhaps he killed them all, but the more likely one is that they killled eachother. Out of madness... The space was filled with blood floating around, orbiting the planets of a once great Galaxy. This Galaxy is now Blood Stars, home of Quirion Azin, Champion of Blood Stars.

A chain was formed after years of constant summoning through the Force, Quirion Azin suceeded and went through. Years were spent. Many years. Just to kill... just to kill... to kill more... more... not even the whole entire Universe's blood would do. Eventually he would have to destroy himself just to know he made blood shed once more. A slave to his ways, his ways travel to many people. The ways known as Blood Omen.

Quirion Azin made it to the Galaxy. People stood outside the portal, until they're bodies exploded from the inside. The hunt was on... the hunt of abombinations... the hunt for blood... the hunt for self-destruction... the hunt for...

Elizabeth walked around the Orax. She came to the turret tunnel and noticed that the lower one went into a small ship. Solari walks up.

Solari: "It is my defense fighter."

Elizabeth slide down the latter into the cockpit. She placed her hand on the ship and started to see its memories. It was a fast fighter that was even flown be a Jedi against the sith. It was an older design but in the right hands it was still deadly. It was simple. It was two massive engines strapped to a cockpit with some laser cannon. Elizabeth climes back up and noticed that Solari was waiting for her.

Solari: "How did you know how to fly the Orax?"

Elizabeth: "I have a trait that about one in every hundred Kiffars has. We can sense the memories of inanimate objects."

Solari: "Really... That sounds like you are Force-sensitive. I could teach you to improve your natural abilities."

Elizabeth was unsure about it.

Elizabeth: "I would like to take it slow. Maybe even at a crawl."

Solari: "One must crawl before they can walk."

Solari started to teach Elizabeth to just focus on events around her. Elizabeth had naturally excellent reflexes and precognition ability do to her Force-sensitivity.

[Lady Vici Karke]

He was in a state of mind and peace, something he had never felt before. Then someone broke into his mind.

Hooded man: (TTF) You want power Hompen. I sense that in you. Your anger gives you that streagth you need to get it.

Hompen: (TTF) You but we left you on the...where the hell are you?

Hooded: man: (TTF) That doesn't matter young one but what does is my offer. Do you want it? Do you want power beyond anything you ever dreamed of?

Hompen: (TTF) Your just want go threw me to get to Teaka.

Hooded man: (TTF) No, Hompen. That's not it at all. You can be great. All power will be yours you just need to promise me something in return.

Hompen: (TTF) I shall. I mean, what you did to Omen and you are right I do crave that power. I want it all! But, what should I promise?

Hooded man: (TTF) Just promise to do something for me and you can not go back on it. You must do it no matter what I ask or you will be destroyed.

Hompen: (TTF) I...I...I promise. Just tell me what I need to do.

Hooded man: (TTF) I want you to keep me informed on whats going on so I can meet you at the next stop you make. I will teach you this power Hompen. All will bow at your feet or be destroyed. I can see it within you. The galaxy will be yours. Keep an eye on Katerin. I sense something not right with her.

Hompen: (TTF) But, shes Teaka mother.

Hooded man: (TTF) Who showed up after 23 years later. Something doesn't smell right with that Hompen. Don't ya think?

Hompen: (TTF) Well, I guess you are right about that.

Hooded man: (TTF) Of course I'm right. But, now I must go. Don't forget what I told you my apprentice.

Hompen: (TTF) Yes, my master.

Hompen opened his eyes all the way and saw Teaka was sharing at him with a funny look on her face.

Hompen: What?

Teaka: Nothing. I think you just look cute when you are in deep thought is all.

Hompen: (He smiles.) Your just saying that.

Teaka: (Walks over and neals to his level.) I love you.

Hompen: (With a stun look on his face.) What?

Teaka: (Leans in to his lips.) You heard me.

She was about to kiss him when he stood to his feet quickly.

Teaka: What's wrong?

Hompen: Nothing. I just need too...

He walks towards the door.

Teaka: Where are you going?

Hompen: Anywhere but here. I need, I don't know what I need. I'm sorry Teaka.

He walks out the door as Katerin walks in.

Katerin: What's wrong with him?

Teaka: I...I dont know.

Teaka starts to cry as Katerin walks over and takes her in her arms.

Katerin: It will be ok my daughter. Please dont be like this. It will all be ok.

Teaka: I thought he felt the same about me. He just totally bailed on me. He didn't even look at me.

Katerin: He'll come around. If it is met to be he will see the beauty of you heart.

Teaka: (She pulls away and there eyes lock.) Its like you've known me my whole life.

Katerin: I have. We are one.

Teaka: I am glad your here with me now.

Katerin: So am I.

They hug once more and the screen goes black.

Luster and lyra make a stop at correlia. Luster goes about looking for any info he can find from the hospital's and researchers. while letting lyra walk around town as long as she promised not to get into trouble, luster was keeping part of his mind occupied tracking her though the force in case lyra would need him he woul dbe there in a matter of moments.

Orax: "BEEEEEP! BEEEEP! BEEEEEP!"

Elizabeth (TTF): "Looks like we are about to come out of hyperspace. I well go prepare to land."

Solari (TTF): "What about your meditation?"

Elizabeth (TTF): "I like flying... Consider that meditation."

Elizabeth walked out and left the droid deativated in the middle of the room. Solari finished her meditation and reactivated her droid body. The Orax landed and Solari and Elizabeth headed into the city.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

lyra goes exploring the city looking at all the stuff to do. She kept her lightsaber that she used for pratice when she could, hidden from view as she went. Most of the people on the streets where taller then her.

[Odan Thos]

Solari had sent Elizabeth to look for some parts for the Orax, will Solari looked for "trouble" which would need to be fixed. Elizabeth walked into one of the smaller shops off of the main street.

Jamar: "GREATINGS! WELCOME TO JAMAR'S SHOP!"

Elizabeth: "Hello. I am looking for some star ship parts.

Jamar: "You came to the right place. I have more star ship parts then any other shop on the whole planet."

Elizabeth pulled out a list of parts she need to get the Orax back into exeptable order. Jamar smiled when he started to look over the list.

Jamar: "This way. I am sure I can find just what you need."

Meanwhile deeper in the city.

Solari was walking around. She came across to men fighting. Solari walked up.

Solari: "GENTLEMEN!"

The to men stopped pounding on one another for a moment and turn to Solari.

Solari: "What is going on here? Why are you going crazy on eachother?"

Man one: "THIS S.O.B. made a pass at my sister."

Man two: "IS THAT A CRIME! WHY CAN'T I ASKER HER ON A DATE!"

Man one: "WHY YOU!"

Man one swings at man two. Solari steps between them and man one punchs her metal chest. Man one lets out a yell.

Solari: "What is so wrong with him asking your sister out?"

Man one: "HE IS A JUST A FARM BOY! HE HAS NO RIGHT TO ASK SOMEONE OF MY SISTER CLASS OUT!"

Man two: "THAT SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!"

Solari grabbed each man by the shoulder and held them away from one another.

Solari: "What does your sister say about this."

Sister: "I want to go out with Matthew. I think he is cute."

Brother: "You don't know what you are saying."

Solari: "She should have the right to date whoever she wises."

Brother: "NO!"

Solari holds him back.

Solari: "Class is not important. It is character. I propose that you speak and get to know this Matthew. Once you know him as a person."

Solari used the Force to calm them down. She did not force the idea onto him, but knew that he was to acted up in his agressive state.

Brother: "I can see your point droid. Where you sent be my father to help teach me this lesson?"

Solari: "No, young man. I was sent be the Jedi to help. Good luck and may the Force be with you."

As Solari walked away the two men started to talk. She did not stay to see what the outcome would be.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

lyra saw a confrontation in the streets between 2 men and one girl, a robot like person had stopped the fight, and lyra watched curiously as the robot walked away, meanwhile luster exited a hospital with no new leads, and was off to find lyra in the streets.

[Odan Thos]

Elizabeth had collected most of the parts that she needed. Several times she cought Jamar trying to sell her broken equipment. After getting two hundred feet of hyperdrive cable she when to check out.

Jamar: "That comes to 5,598 credits."

Elizabeth: "THAT IS OUTRAGES! AT MOST THIS WOULD COST 4,500 CREDITS!"

Jamar: "Well here it comes to 5,498 credits."

Elizabeth: "YOU ARE MAKING UP PRICES! I KNOW IT! THE FIRST WAS LARGER THEN THE SECOND!"

Jamar: "Fine. I well let them go for 5,000.

Elizabeth: "4,000"

Jamar: "4,800"

Elizabeth: "4,200"

Jamar: "4,500"

Elizabeth: "It is a deal. Have them sent to hanger 55"

Elizabeth handed the man the credits and headed back to the ship to wait for Solari.

Meanwhile...

Solari noticed that a little girl was fallowing her she turned around and motioned her over. When she got over Solari kneeled down.

Solari: "Are you loss little girl?"

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

lyra shook her head, looking at the droid, it was different from most droids she had seen, most droids didnt show humaness.

Lyra: are you human underneath?

Luster looked over the streets on top of a building looking using the force to narrow it down, she was close, a little further down then he had thought, but he would be to here in just a minute, she must have found something interesting.

[Odan Thos]

Solari: "In a way, yes. I am very rare creater called a Shard. This body helps me, help others."

Solari felt a strange thing in the Force coming. She looked around. She did not like what she sensed. It was not natural in any way. She could sense the same thing from the little girl, but not nearly as strong.

Solari: "Well my dear. I have to go. My name is Solari. And may the Force be with."

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Luster past the droid as it walked away glancing over at it as it passed, it was force sensitive and luster made the connection right away, it was one of those crystals with a counsousness. He saw lyra watching it walk away.

Luster: have fun with the robot did you?
lyra: its not a robot uncle, its a human underneath like your friend juk.
Luster: really? i couldnt tell. *with mock surprize* anyways you want to get a bite to eat?
lyra: I am a bit hungery....
Luster: alright lets go.

Luster picked lyra up and put her on his shoulder letting her have a view above all the people as they walked to a nearby resturant.

[Odan Thos]

Solari got back to the Orax and found it torn apart.

Solari: "What are you doing? This thing is a mess."

Elizabeth crawled out of an assess shaft. She had oil all over her.

Elizabeth: "I am getting this hunk of junk back into shape like you asked."

Solari: "I did not mean to do it all at once."

Elizabeth: "But it works better if you do."

Solari did not like the idea of staying in one place to long. She left Elizabeth to her work and went to here compartment. She deactivated the droid body and meditated. She focused on the strange being she just ran into and the sick little girl.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Luster bought what lyra wanted, and when the waitor asked if he wanted something lyra answered for him.

Lyra: my uncle doesnt eat, much.

the waitor confirmed this with luster by looking at him intill luster nodded. The food came soon and luster watched lyra eat again listened to what she had seen today. he found that she was most interested in the droid that she though was a human underneath like juk, the slayer on nar shada.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Afterward luster carried lyra on his shoulder again and went to his ship then put her to bed and locked the ship up, then went for a night on the town to check the last places he hadnt checked yet.
