[center][h2] Hunter Twilight / Kamari Ordo [/h2][/center] While the battle over Coruscant, and all of the Republic ships are distracting, I pilot a shuttle towards Coruscant’s paradise moon, Hesperdium. In the small holding area behind me lays Gavin Greshh, still greatly injured and barely awake. As I fly, I can feel a prickling on the back of my neck. I can’t use the Force - not anymore - but this certainly feels like a very similar sensation. A reflexively scratch at it with my gloves fingers, and feel goose pimples and my hairs standing on end. Then, in the back of my mind, I hear a familiar voice: [center][h2] Ryder Twilight [/h2][/center] “Mercy.” [center][h2] Hunter Twilight / Kamari Ordo [/h2][/center] I jump in surprise, looking around for the source of the voice. That was... my father’s voice. Hunter’s father. But how... why was he talking to me now? [center][h2] Ryder Twilight [/h2][/center] “Mercy. When the time comes.... show mercy.” [center][h2] Hunter Twilight / Kamari Ordo [/h2][/center] I want to jump out of my seat, but I’m about to hit atmosphere, so that wasn’t a good idea. “Fath... ah, I mean Mister Twilight? Uhhh.... hello?” I wait a few seconds in silence, but there is no further voices. Feeling a little on edge, I try to focus on my mission once more. I fly down over the ocean and touch down near a secluded beach house. Exiting the shuttle with Gavin on a hover gurney, I slowly make my way towards the house. A flood of memories come rushing back to me, of a previous life I once led at this house. Back when I was a weak boy with a debilitating disease, rather than the strong Mandalorian Warrior I am now. Just outside the house, I see a pair of gravestones. I know what they say, and I try to avert my eyes, but I am too late. The first reads: ‘Hunter Orgus Twilight. 16 ATC - 32 ATC’ And the second one, to my surprise and horror, reads: ‘Ryder Jas Twilight. 11 BTC - 32 ATC’ I fall to my knees in front of the stone, overcome with emotion that I can not contain, no matter how hard I try. [center][h2] Kira Carsen Twilight [/h2][/center] I walk out of my house, having heard the shuttle land. I pause when I hear someone violently weeping, and I run around the corner to find Kamari Ordo at the grave site of Hunter and Ryder. I cross my arms and give a sympathy look. “You really miss him, don’t you?” [center][h2] Hunter Twilight / Kamari Ordo [/h2][/center] I look up, trying very hard to look strong. I haven’t seen my mother in a long time, and I was desperately to give her a hug. But I’m not her son anymore. This wasn’t how a Mandalorian was supposed to act. “Yes... I miss Hunter very much. And Ryder.... how did he die?” [center][h2] Kira Carsen Twilight [/h2][/center] “The stress finally got to him. He’d been suffering from his conflict with Vitiate for so long, he couldn’t take it anymore.” I pause, watching Kam wipe the tears away from his eyes. “But he’s not gone. He’s one with the Force... finally at peace.” [center][h2] Hunter Twilight / Kamari Ordo [/h2][/center] “I failed him.” I say quietly. “I... I mean, I should have done a better job.... keeping his son alive, I mean. I should have listened to him and.... and been honest with him before...” [center][h2] Kira Carsen Twilight [/h2][/center] “He knows, Hunter.” [center][h2] Hunter Twilight / Kamari Ordo [/h2][/center] “Wh... what?” I look surprised. “What did you call me?” [center][h2] Kira Carsen Twilight [/h2][/center] I walk over and put a hand on his arm. “I’m not stupid. You think I don’t know my own son? You can’t hide from me, no matter how hard you try.” [center][h2] Hunter Twilight / Kamari Ordo [/h2][/center] I lower my head “I’m sorry, Mom. For everything.” [center][h2] Kira Carsen Twilight [/h2][/center] “Well, you do have a lot of explaining to do. Namely how the hell you body switched with Kam, and why you thought it was a good idea to fake your own death... but that can all wait until after we’ve dealt with Sucal. Right now, I’m just glad your alive.” I look towards the gurney were Gavin is resting. “I agreed to help bring Gavin back to full strength. We need to act fast.” [center][h2] Hunter Twilight [/h2][/center] “We couldn’t find anything wrong with him. I don’t know how you expect to make him better.” As if queue, a woman with braided gray hair and a kind face steps. She wears faded Jedi Robes, and a lightsaber staff hangs from her belt. [center][h2] Satele Shan [/h2][/center] “I can help with that.” END OF SCENE
