Lord Greshh

A Galaxy in Twilight[Lord Gressh/Zarkun]

Xanthippe Naberrie

I sit behind Jerus and Becca. I recognize the language Jerus speaks, though I don't understand what he is saying. "Speaking of Mandalorians, do you have a plan to get past their blockade?"

Becca Twilight

"HJ gave us all a code phrase. Plus, Mandalore knows us well enough to let us by if we ask nicely." I look at Jerus. "I just hope we can get in touch with her directly. Most other Mandalorians are a bit... prickly. Especially in the heat of battle."

HJ Twilight

"Good. This has been going on for way too long. All I want is Sucal gone and Hayden back."

Becca Twilight

"I can at least promise you one of those. If I get my hands on my daughter, I'm not letting go ever again. Jakito and I should have taken her straight home after Alaris Prime." I board the Shadow Stalker and prepare to leave as soon as possible.

I step towards Jerus. “If you see Hayden, tell her...” I pause, trying to think of something good. “Just... give her this.” I reach into my jacket and pull out a flat green stone.

Becca Twilight

I notice the stone. “Is that... You and Hayden found that on the beach back on Dantooine. I didn’t think you still had it after all these years.”

HJ Twilight

“Hayden was the one that found it, and she gave it to me when we were young. It’s been my good luck charm ever since. Give it to her if you see her. If I can’t be there to help keep her out of trouble, hopefully this will let her k ow I’m with her in spirit.”

Becca Twilight

“I agree. Something tells me that we are very close to the end of all of this. At all costs, we need to make sure that Sucal does not get to Korre, and that he does not escape Coruscant. The Mandalorians have him pinned. We might just be able to win this if we do this right.”

Xanthippe Naberrie

“I’m ready.” I pull a lightsaber out of my sleeve - Iwan’s lightsaber- and admire it for it for a moment. It was I who originally brought him to everyone’s attention, and even though I had little interaction with him near the end, I do feel sorry for his lose. He cared for Korre greatly, and he did everything to protect her. For that, he deserves to be honored.

“This one won’t break. Trust me.”

HJ Twilight

“After everything you’ve done, you want us to trust you? Sorry, but you kinda have to earn our trust.”

Xanthippe Naberrie

“This trust my rage. Trust that I want to stop Sucal and save Korre. And trust that i above all others know how to make an enchanted ring that won’t break.”

Becca Twilight

“That, at least, I believe.”

Becca Twilight

"True, but that doesn't mean..." I stop as I notice Xan approaching. "Ah, finally ready to leave? Jerus mentioned you were making some special preparations before we took off. WOuld you care like to fill us in?"

Xanthippe Naberrie

I look at Becca for a moment before showing her my left hand. Specifically, I indicate a ring on my finger; it is a dark blue marble that almost seems to swirl with smoky energy inside. "I was imbuing this with special magick. Nothing too dramatic, just a little something that should help keep Korre safe once we find her."

Becca Twilight

"I hope you're right." I look back towards Organa castle. "What about Xan? She's still coming, right? She didn't sprain her ankle going up the stairs and require intensive hospitalization, did she?"

Becca Twilight

“You can’t neglect your pet either though. She’s far away from her natural habitat and injured. If you abandon her to strangers, it could end very badly.” I give him a sad look. “I want you to be there, but the more immediately problem for you is Huntress. Jerus and I... AND Jakito for that matter can handle Hayden.”

HJ Twilight

“Alright. Fair point. Maybe I’ll join you guys after Huntress is healed up enough to function without me.”

Becca Twilight

I look at Jerus. “I almost forgot; Jakito is still on Coruscant with Vette. There is no way Hayden could mask herself fully from him if he caught her scent in the Force.” I frown. “I hope the Mandalorians didn’t give him any trouble.”

HJ Twilight

“Hey! I raised a rancor from an egg! I think I know how to take care of a baby. You just... throw food at it every couple hours and clean up when it makes a mess.” I give Dad a look. “Speaking of which, I can’t decide if I should come with you or not. Huntress got hurt bad at the Foundry, and needs a lot of healing. I don’t know how keen she is to let some random Organa’s tend to her, so I might have to stay and keep her company. But... I want to find Hayden too.”

A Galaxy in Twilight[Lord Gressh/Zarkun]

Becca Twilight

I shake my head. “Not crazy; determined. Hayden has been comping at the bit to go after Sucal since we lost her the first time. And as much as I hate to say it... I think Greshh was one of the few things keeping her from running off to face him herself. Now he’s gone, and she has somehow given Caalin the slip. There isn’t anyone to rain her in anymore, and she’s libel to do a lot of drastic things if she believes it’s going to bring an end to his threat.”

HJ Twilight

“But Ava has Coruscant surrounded. If the reports are true, she could actually take the planet herself soon. Why would Hayden risk going there now? It’s a war zone!”
