				Aethan Maeros made his way through the crowded halls of the Jedi temple, many looked back at him as the Miraluka was a rare sight in this Era, his species preferring to stay by themselves. He was agitated, and an aura of annoyance seemed to seep from him, making many of the younger Jedi stop as he walked past, simply too scared to move, afraid to anger the powerful Master Jedi.<br>He was on his way to the council chambers at the very top of the massive temple. Grand Master Yoda had summoned him, calling for the out most urgency. <br>He breathed in deeply before pushing open the doors to the perfectly circular room.<br>almost all the way back against the wall sat the Jedi Masters of the Council. Supreme Commander of the Republic armed forces, High General Obi-Wan Kenobi.&nbsp; Master of the Jedi host Mace Windu. Hero of the battle of Corellia, Plo Koon, and so many others. <br>Aethan bowed before the gathered, and they nodded in return, only Kenobi and Yoda got up to return the bow "Why have you summoned me councilors? I presume you do not wish to grant me a place on the council" He said with a passive voice. <br>Yoda shoot his head and said "A place on the council too early it is for you to have... wait and see we must... in the mean time, Jedi you will teach, three of them we have assigned to your group, of the Grey side you will teach them" <br>Aethan nodded and bowed again "if that is your wish, then so we shall Master Yoda" He turned around and left the room, he started walking back towards the Fives' quarters

What she was asking was beyond even the understand standing of the Jedi Master Healers. She was researching ways to regenerate tissues to the point you could regrow a lost limbs and organs. She could bring a person at deaths door back to life in fully healed in hours, but she couldn't regrown a blasted body part. <br><br>She had even asked the great Jedi master and healer Soris Ka’bath if it was possible. She said “anything is possible in the force. Perhaps you need to look in the great library and meditate.”&nbsp; This seems to have been a wasted trip. However; one must not discount the wisdom of Elders as she sighs.<br><br>Lyrin sits herself down in the library crossing her legs, breathing and reaching into herself for the peace. Focusing on the force, to become one with it and let it guide her like the perfect dance partner. Letting her frustrations wash away into the harmony.<br><br>Her Vision;<br><em>She appears to be looking into the Jedi Counsel Chamber. It is Yoda talk to someone. "A place on the council too early it is for you to have... wait and see we must... in the meantime, Jedi you will teach, three of them we have assigned to your group, of the Grey side you will teach them" That must be one of the grey masters that Anakin came back with. He is obviously a Miraluka Male around 38 years old. </em><br>With that revelation the vision ends as quickly as it started.<br>

				<div align="center">(http://borubudur.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/futuristic-living-room-1.jpg)<br></div><br><div align="center"> Alana &nbsp;(http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=152953.msg6976876#msg6976876)<br></div><br>At the five's quarters Alana stood facing a window that showed a clear sky. Others were in the room but her focus was elsewhere. Everyone was staying tight lipped why were they needed, something surely they deserve to know. At first Alana thought the counsil had used the force to screen prying of the situation from her sorcery, until she fathomed they were confused, desperate and fearful for more than one reason. This meant none had a clear view on matters.<br><br>"Hmm statis for this" Her mind didn't seem that focused for the moment and paid attention to a flying creature that drifted close to the horizon. She wondered the beautiful life on other planets she had tended had been through since her rest before thinking more on those who accompanied her.<br><br>Aethan was one Alana had mixed fears for. He was disciplined, thank the force, formidable with a light saber if he wasn't he would be a reckless army in his own regard, and the first to see the path of the Grey. Thankfully his interest in sorcery had mitigated his hunger for more power, creation. Life, traveling at will, those addictions was inevitable after a certain level of power over ones current safety. Subjects he was often asking Alana's views on.<br><br>She felt he was on his way back from being briefed by the counsil and likely knew more of the situation than Alana's guesswork or sorcery could fathom but he wasn't the only interesting character about. His mind was bubbled though. He would only share what he wanted to.<br><br>And yes Zaexen Zabrak, highly talented. One Alana thought better to anger. His mind full of fluid motions, one that could read rooms as a labyrinth of combat options constantly. All knew the kind, and he was the best of them. A wild card in Alana's opinion while the lure of the light sabre still dominated his mind.<br><br>Thinking of him made the Master Sorceress flip her Sapphire-Coloured Electum Light sabre from her belt into the air beside her, although she had no want to turn it on. Its hilt itself a work of art over functionality. She let its regal contours spin slowly as if an asteriod adrift in space. &nbsp;(http://tarkain.webs.com/PalpatineROTSbig.jpg)<br><br>On light-sabre methods, there was always a circumstance that was one's better though, that was the problem with combat, no matter how powerful one was, you became a magnet for "the Else" seeking to see you as an opponent. Only time before circumstance and the "Else" overwhelmed. Who lives by the sword dies by the sword or by a thousand cuts of whats smaller. Perhaps he was different. There was a ample times he showed signs he was. So good sometimes reading the force about he or Aethan while they practiced resembled a force storm. <br><br>Scary. VERY scary.<br><br>Admist of motions faster than the eye could follow, often both with their eyes closed in sych with the other, they may not have been aware they were close to making one training with each other with the energy they did. Alana so far though it best not to tell them for the moment for she wasnt sure if that warning would tempt them to try.&nbsp; Just to see what happened. <br><br>Oh Miraluka ! She could manage that to when training with one of the other ancients. Attempts at discerning other ancients intentions was nauseating, knowing where they were when they didnt want to be detected was all but impossible. Hmm Where in the world WAS she ?&nbsp; <br><br>The fine line balancing on Grey was something that Alana was very wary of keeping. Falling to the light side was a safe option, one looses some power for awhile, but its a safe state. Falling to the dark while such strong forces were about, another story.&nbsp; Alana then let her sabre hilt silently and slowly return to its resting place in her belt holster and made note she needed to speak to them both on the matter at the next opportunity.&nbsp; Their light sabre techniques needed no more refining. Hopefully they would listen and not just stay silent while she voiced her concerns.<br><br>Hopefully all will return to the quarters soon.

				Aethan was not exactly pleased with the way things had turned out. He was a warrior, not a teacher, he had only taught the four others out of curiosity to see if others could learn his way. But teaching the rash, impulsive, self-centered young Jedi of today, his patience was already strained with the constant supply of young Jedi coming to just see them, talk to them. <br><br>He felt Alana trying to read his mind, to read his thoughts, he smiled to himself as he fell her withdrawing, getting nothing but what he wanted her to know. He grinned a little at the thought, thinking how many times she had tried to read his mind in the middle of the night, during duels. But Aethan had never let anyone into his mind, not the Jedi Masters of his time, and not the once of this time. <br><br>He finally arrived to their chambers, without moving his hands he pushed the doors open, a bubble of pure force energy around him. He looked at the two of the ancients present in their "living room", looked at was a bit of a stretch, his eyeless sockets weren't able to see anything, he saw through the force, a much clearer way of sight. <br><br>He looked over at his companions and smiled softly, before moving closer to them "They want us to teach" He said simply, looking at Alana primarily "They're curious... curious to see what we can do, if we're dangerous" He looked over at his Zabrak sparring partner "They offered me a place on the council if this goes well. We would have actual power, power to win this damn war.&nbsp; <br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=153073.msg6982080#msg6982080">Quote from: Triggvi on 27-09-2012, 07:12:10</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">(OCC: Lyrin was in the Temple Holocron Library having a vision of what was happening in the Jedi counsel chambers.

You declined I hope !" </strong><br><br>Alana knew the answer already, whatever would annoy her most was what Aethan would somehow have managed to have already done.<br><br>Movign to sit on the couch the sorceress shook her head and opened one hand. As a glass soon floated towards her while water from an outlet moved in a snake like fashion across the space to fill it. The moment the fluid did, her hand clasped it with long thin fingers.<br><br>Alana brought the crystal glass to her lips and sipped slowly before resting the glass on the table in the same way most would.<br><br><strong>"If we are dangerous ? <span class="bbc_u">IF??? </span>EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is dangerous if viewed in fearful intentions especially ones non-disclosed.

That says something. Doing so sounds like the problem our waking should be PREVENTING ! Not <span class="bbc_u">Causing </span>!"</strong><br><br>Her eyes narrowed. Aethan wouldn't have agreed unless he planned something, he wouldnt be here or caring for the counsils decision unless he had hopes for something else that others had not thought of. It seemed too simple. Too vague. A meeting too brief. A singular card requested, all things too obvious.<br><br><strong>"Aethan, you know I try and read your mind constantly, in the hope maybe it will work somehow, and for GOOD reasons too !" </strong>Alana shook a finger at the impressive Jedi.<br><strong><br>"Its not <em>their </em>plans I'm worried about Aethan !

				"<strong>I always have a plan Alana, you know me well enough to realize that... These young Jedi they're sending to us, I have an idea who they are... and they're talented beyond belief, even with our standards. I read the great Holocron yesterday, using the technique you taught me back in our day.... They erased the cold war from it, the resurgence of the True Sith Empire... They don't trust us... because they have no idea who we are.. .what we did for the republic..</strong>" <br><br>Aethan's voice was obviously excited, his whole being shimmering with anticipation.<br><br>"<strong>I plan to show them... By extending my consciousness towards them, like I did when I helped you find the path... You remember don't you, you saw my life, you saw Alpheridies, my life before the order... The only time I ever let you see my mind... Imagine what they would tell their fellow Jedi if they found out the order had hidden the war out of shame...</strong>" His smile was almost wicked "<strong>You yearn to get out of this temple as much as I do, and if we could bring our new students with us to the battlefields, we could show them, in truth, why the grey side is worth the risk</strong>" <br>A little bolt of lightning jumped from one finger to the next, and then ran over his arm and shoulders to his other hand. <br><br>His smile faded a little, and he looked curiously at her "<strong>unless.. You do not wish to get away from this hell of metal and heavy air. The Alana I know would go to Dxun again, or to Ossus, or Ziost, find the beautiful creatures of this galaxy.. and make them more beautiful" He walked towards her and smiled "you want to be free of this place just as much as I do</strong>"

It did awaken a part of me that made me feel like a God. A rush I have relished ever since. And made good use of. Of that I am thankful and will forever in your debt"<br><br>Alana curtsied deeply then calmed herself. Speaking angrily at Aethan wasnt going to change anything. And just showed her own fears not his.<br><br>"Battlefields though ? " Her voice softened.<br><br>" I fear that doing this could create the very army our kin may be asked to remove from the galaxy. For if you open others minds in the same way you did mine, many many more. How can we keep track of so many to ensure things don't spiral into a division of the super-dark, with tactics against the light ? There are many shades of Grey that still work with your techniques. I'm inclined more towards the lighter sides for the beauty it creates, others will be tempted to be Gods with their own values alien to what we call good or can touch. I don't know much of darker shades., only there are ones deeper colors than the void."<br><br>She stood and looked at the warrior directly her hands extended with palms open<br><br>"I will obey you no matter what you know that. But what enemy would need such an army ? When there is no obvious mutual enemy Surely making this school will make divisions between those that prefer lighter shades those that prefer darker such that two powerful houses form, each seeking to increase their schools influence and abilities. <br><br>A balance will be formed initially, how long will it last ? If a fight between them doesn't happen a split to another galaxy will be agreed to. What of the fate of those in-between such a conflict or if each chooses a different galaxy, what of the fate of the one the darker school chooses?"<br><br>Alana then put her hands on her hips<br><br>"What plan do you have without that school turning on you and those that stand in their way ?"<br>

				Aethan walked over to Alana and smiled softly, stroking her arms, holding on to them as he looked at her "I have no intention of training armies like us, but we need messengers, we need just a few who can give the message to the rest" He looked at her and smiled kindly "and this time... after the war... I won't talk you into Stasis again, I'll let you be with your creatures" <br><br>Aethan let go with her, smiling kindly "I have no intention of letting anyone fall to the dark side Alana, I care about the balance too much to let that happen"<br><br>He walked over and sat down in a chair, sinking into it, relaxing completely<br>

Although after a certain level of advancement there isnt much I can do to stop them, we are letting a genii out of the bottle here and all know it by you agreeing to this, I hope things go well. "<br><br>Alana then drew her light sabre and held it briefly before turnnig it on. Its sapphire glow matching her hair, her reflection distinct to others watching her.<br><br>"Im worried about myself as well, because this I carry mainly for show, and if any seek to have an ancient death under their name mine will be the easiest and the top of the list. Who will defend my creatures then ? Help them when they are confused meeting raw hate and anger ? Improve them, give them more intelligence to avoid so while keeping their emapthy ?"<br><br>She then waved it slowly, the distinct "hmmff" sound of its motion common to all ears in the room.<br><br>"Their trophie, my lightsabre I use it for carters, for slow technique and focus not true combat. All of you are grand masters at its use, I carry this more as a work of art to remind me Im not a goddess just a Master of Sorcery using the force. Its a beacon to draw others to to prove a point."<br><br>After moving through some martial arts poses with it she then turned off and placed it on her hip with her hands not using the force<br><br>"We are still moral. I am a Goddess of my humble creatures perhaps, simple and loving caring for their ecology. Trying to instill balance and empathy in their own simple ways. They will be no match for anything sent there that has intentions other than wonder. But I am no goddess in subjects like this, we still make mistakes, this I feel our biggest one. One history may not survive"<br><br>"Actually" She then turned and whipped her lightsabre out and used it as a pointing stick<br><br>"Its there any chance that you can convince the other ancients not to duel against each other anymore in the lightsaber techniques. This is important, your energies were so close to that of a force storm I was sick literally having my mind anywhere near it. <br><br>Your skills dont need more training in saber use. IF you do train do so with weapons your not familiar with or focus on refining another skillset. This is important I will agree to your terms if you agree to this"<br>

				Back in one of the rooms connected to the sitting area the other Ancients conversed in laid the youngest of the bunch. For those who knew the young male Zabrak, they were also aware of how much he loved his sleep, though today, he was restless. As the others, he spent so many years in stasis that he was still trying to place everything together. Out of them all, his memories seemed to be quite lackadaisical in their return, even after mediation. As Aethan and Alana spoke, Zaexen couldn't help but listen, his ears maybe being the best out of the group. Though he wasn't as adept with sorcery as some of the others, most of his force found its way to his senses, allowing his eyes and ears to operate so many times better than another Zabrak, or human for that matter.&nbsp; <br><br>On a table in a corner of the room sat a belt with two holsters on opposing sides, the reasons for their existence sitting but a foot away. The two lightsabers (http://www.foundation3d.com/gallery/data/513/medium/saber_type_4_0000.jpg) sat side by side, a few small scratches on the hilt from the hundreds upon hundreds of battles they had seen under his control. One seemed to twitch just faintly, though it ceased moving quite quickly. <br><br>A single muscle in his fore head twitched as he heard Alana make a comment which he felt was directed towards him, a breath which he had been holding for just a moment releasing itself. It was just seconds after when both light sabers on the table fidgeted for a moment before they lifted from the table, floating in mid air. The hilt slowly made its way into the room, coming up behind the sapphire haired woman, tapping her on the shoulder. He waited a moment before groaning just loud enough for the others to hear his voice, "So I guess that's directed towards me...?" He turned on his side, having to pull one of his horns out of the pillow where it had punctured the linen at some point. It took him a few moments before he pulled his feet over the side of the bed, his bare feet touching the floor with ease before he rose to his full height of 6'5", towering over most on this planet, as well as a few others. <br><br>He slowly made his way into the room with the others, both of his sabers finding their ways to his lap after he fell over the arm of an ornate chair, his feet hanging off one of the arms. He was only clad in a pair of shorts made out of a material similar to silk, though it wasn't quite it. Around his neck hung two necklaces with symbols from his home planet of Iridonia.

				The former Revanite stood at a workbench, carefully reassembling her lightsaber.&nbsp; Memories flooded her, of times long, long since past.&nbsp; <br><br>Dromund Kaas.<br><br>She sat inside the mouth of a cave, half-way up the face of a cliff, a fire burning behind her, lit by her lightsaber, the smoke rolling up through a hole in the cave's roof.&nbsp; A nasty fall for the unwary, but a convenience for her.&nbsp; A faint moan caught her attention.&nbsp; The Jedi was finally stirring.&nbsp; That the dart flowers hadn't killed him was remarkable.&nbsp; The thorns that shot out from them were highly toxic and it would only take one to fell a swamp wampa.<br><br>He had six.<br><br>One thing she'd learned from the study of Revan's history.&nbsp; Allies were important, especially strong ones.&nbsp; And if you could sway them to see things your way, all the better.&nbsp; One of his greatest strengths was his ability to lead, his incredible charisma that drew people to him like a corpse drew hungry manka cats.&nbsp; Perhaps she could help this Jedi see the error of his ways.&nbsp; "Welcome back to the land of the living."<br><br>How was she to know that, in the end, she would be the one that would change?&nbsp; That the Revanite would be destroyed, and a gray Jedi would emerge in her place?<br><br>Shaking it off, she went back to the task at hand.&nbsp; Her lightsaber needed cleaning and re-calibration.&nbsp; "Where was I?" she mumbled, glancing over the array of parts on the table, "Ah, yes.&nbsp; The crystal mount..."

He was so well versed in combat he may have been able to sneak up on her regardless, it didn't really matter. Alana turned and looked annoyed she could be so startled before relaxing using the meditation methods the jedi all knew.<br><br>"Yes at both of you, and Ren'ava Ciajin if she appears from wherever she is, I hoped you were with her or would be returning with her also."<br><br>Having her own lightsabre out while two which were prodigious in their use nearby made Alana feel unsettled. Her own hilt returning quickly in a smooth motion back into its resting place in her belt. Attempting to hide her intimidation of such strength Alana eased her arms and assumed a resting pose as best she could. It was unlikely to fool either of them. She felt like a mouse admist to snakes who's strikes would be too fast avoid.<br><br>"Both of you and Ren'ava Ciajin are as powerful as history knows with these weapons. I know you enjoy sparring with each other for exercises, to keep in turn with your art, to have an opponent that forces you to stay so and whatever other reasons I dont know. While ancients of your methods even mock fight with each other&nbsp; Ren'ava Ciajin included, something else is happening I have not learned in the great library before. <br><br>Sparing for a minute seems harmless enough when its prolonged a new energy is forming a grey-storm of a kind none know of. I fear it may be more of a rift or portal that may make the area about you even up to many miles or more perhaps the size of a moon, It depends on how fierce your focuses are - but a large area about the duelists appear in some place that is alien to this galaxy, and may in turn have what it replaced appear here. <br><br>Something that shares the same level of conflict that your dueling manifests. Im not sure, what I do want you to do is stop it. If Ren'ava Ciajin or you fight each other or the Aethan for even slightly longer than you have we will likely have a bigger problem than what I was getting angry at Aethan for fate tempting.<br>Please tell Ren'ava Ciajin this also when either of you find her. Unfortunately she can hide from my scrying also. Very annoying."<br><br>"Oh and by the way Zabrak, Im not sure if you already know but Aethan in his infinite wisdom has agreed to a councils request that we teach other jedi's the way of the Grey. Interesting no ? When we don't know the extent of what we can do already ? If you can get any sense out of the man doing so, please be my guest"<br><br>She wave her hand elaborately towards Aethan.<br>

Seems like an express method to all things opposite in my view but well I feel he has a want to share some shard of his vision with us all. <br><br>Apparently he cares for the counsil's opinion. I know doesnt sound like the Aethan I know either. Still I just slipped it to him that when you duel with another ancient as refined in saber methods as youself or Zaexen, something else is happening which is dangerous a portal much further away than others, one that shares conflict energy of the same extremes, something history has not spoken of. Nor that I have seen in the library, nor my scying reveals.

If so say as much and I may join you there if i may, it would stop be being too rash and starting a fight with him which would see me dead in a blink of an eye, or faster if it was one of his I guess. And frankly I may find more sense in talking with the plants nearby"<br><br>Alana then looked at the two<br><br>"I bet all three of you already sensed this while fighting and thought fantastic for the energy it gave you. Its not what it seems its trying to synchronise with something like a tuning fork. You three when sparing to "stretch" as you all claim have been closer than you know for it to enter a phase change.

Wonder at this prompt message, a formal summons to stand in front of the Jedi counsel, what could this mean? Could they be unhappy at her accidental vision of the proceedings or could this pertain to what was in her vision about the grey masters. “Either way they would not look kindly to me taking my time getting there”<br><br>Prying herself away from the data pad, Lyrin makes her way to the council chamber only stopping monetarily to drop stuff off at her quarters.<br><br>She reaches the door to the council chambers. Pausing for just a moment to collect her thoughts and center herself. She pushes the announcement button on the door. The door slide open effortlessly and she walks through the door. Sitting around here in the chamber are some of the great master of the Jedi Order, most notably Master Windu and Grand Master Yoda. <br><br>“Master, you have summoned me?” She says as she bows her head in respect<br><br>“My young Padawan, yes, summoned you have been.” said Yoda<br>Master Windu picks up were Yoda stopped as if they had rehearsed this a thousand times “Before we get to why we have summoned you, we wish to know of your vision. Tell us what you saw, Lyrin”<br><br>Lyrin takes a breath feeling nervous, but her instincts tell her that she is not in trouble but about to be given a choice which may dominate her destiny for the rest of her life.<br><br>She describes her vision: detailing everyone in the room how they looked. She tells them that all she heard was the short exchange between Yoda and The Grey Master Aethan Maeros.<br><br>Her Vision;<br><em>She appears to be looking into the Jedi Counsel Chamber. It is Yoda talk in to someone. "A place on the council too early it is for you to have... wait and see we must... in the meantime, Jedi you will teach, three of them we have assigned to your group, of the Grey side you will teach them" The must be one of the grey master that Anakin came back with. He is obviously a Miraluka Male. </em><br><br>Master Windu speaks “Have you meet Aethan Maeros?” Lyrin Responds “No Master, I looked him up in the database after my vision.”<br>“Young one, what where meditating on when the vision came up on you?” Yoda asks as if he already knew the answer.<br><br>Lyrin answers “I was meditating on advanced healing techniques, Master. I have been search for the skills to regrown lost limbs and organs. I was in the Great Library searching for clues or knowledge that might lead to the answer I was seeking.”<br><br>“And what do you think this Vision of the Masters Grey is telling you?” Yoda asks. Lyrin feeling like she is a little under the gun. “I am not entirely sure Master. Considering the nature of the vision and what was being discussed. I would say it was telling me that my path to take knowledge lay with learning the ways of the Grey Jedi, Master.”<br><br>“Your insights have served you well, young one” Yoda says glancing at the rest of the master present. “It is to this matter you have been summoned here, you have. The Masters of Grey have agreed to train three of our Knights in the ways of the Grey.”<br><br>“The council has been very impressed with your strength of character following your Masters death of Geonosis and we feel you would be well suited to learning Arts of Grey without losing yourself to the darkside.”<br><br>“Lyrin Thiss this is a great and a grave decision, you must to make. This is a decision that will dominate your life from this point on. Think hard and choose wisely, my Padawan” Yoda says with compassion in his voice and eyes for the weight he has placed on her shoulders.<br><br>“You are dismissed. Take your time, but not too long to give us your answer, Lyrin.” Master Windu says to her in a stern voice.<br>“Yes Master Windu. Good day, Masters” Lyrin says as she backs out of the chambers.<br>

Now make a damn decision and do something already!" Lyrin smiles along with Master Windu. "He was a gruff hard as nails Jedi. I didn't think anything could kill him."

All my Jedi healing skills and I was still powerless to save him"<br><br>Master Windu in an uncharacteristically soft voice "He knew he was going to die of Geonosis, yet he went anyways.

				Aethan had sensed Master Windu and was determined to meet with him, Aethan sensed he was with a young Cathar. Aethan had great respect for the Cathar, despite their ferocious and animalistic traits, when taught the ways of the force they were more determined than anyone else to gain trust. They had in common with the Miraluka, both race has enormous senses of justice and honor. Before going into stasis he had often enjoyed sparring with a Cathar Jedi Master Called Soin <br><br>He pushed open the doors into the observation deck and bowed softly, smiling a little at the Cathar as he nodded, but then focused on Windu "I wish to be granted a ship to pick up a ship we had left in orbit before we went into stasis" Windu raised his eye brow "There's no ship in orbit... we would have known" Aethan shook his head "no, it's cloaked using ancient Rakata cloaking technology" Windu's eyes widened "You can use Rakata technology?" Aethan shook his head "I know how it works, but I don't know why it works, it's builder, a grey like me, chose to stay behind and not go into stasis with us" Windu nodded "I see... Well, you have my permission"<br>

				Aethan merely nodded to the Cathar "you can't come onboard with me though" he said, looking forward with hasty steps. He wanted to see the complete ship, he wanted to walk inside it. He was happy, happier than he had been in a long time, he didn't even mind the Cathar's presence, all he wanted was to get up there and explore the beautiful ship. <br><br>He was happy as he sunk into the pilot's seat of the light freighter given to him for his mission. The sightless was a frigate, much larger than the freighter, with it's own landing bay. He checked his memory, scanning them for the cloak disengage frequency, he quickly remembered it and looked back at the Cathar saying "we're going now, I want you to stay in the co-pilot seat while I go in, you might need to go down and get the others if I tell you to.<br><br>The ship took off and soon they were breaking free of the atmosphere of Coruscant, Aethan sent out the frequency, and soon the majestic ship was visible.

				This new character certainly had fire and at the exchange Alana lifted one eyebrow. Not many speak to grey masters in the same way this blood spoke to those assembled. At mention of a moon sized weapon Alana rolled her eyes. <br><br>"Hmm. Perhaps we have slept in statis for too long. How did things get to this ?" The sorceress murmoured to none in particular.<br><br>To try and release tension&nbsp; Alana looked to Lyrin Thiss and looked about to all<br><br>"Cross guard More Defensive ? In the arms of such masters, anything around them becomes anything they want them to be. "<br><br>Alana looked the the creature more closely and felt something. "Interesting I notice a certain lean in the force with you, one relating to life. My sorcery skills are well known, later if you wish to talk of the subject I would be also interested, for knowing how well sorcery is learned and taught currently is something that interests me greatly."<br><br>Then her attention moved to The wookie and Aethan<br><br>"I understand now why answers couldn't be given to me before now."<br><br>Her tone was not impatient. She knew now things were larger than what could be schemed from Aethan and her occasional mentor. Her fears relating to trust were now resolved. Her relief was obvious to all sensing the force at the time.<br><br>"Masters, my greatest appreciation for moving the life on worlds I cherish to safer places in these turbant times. For such I am both in your service. What would you both have me do?" ... her bow was deep her tone one that wasn't going to question reasons or motives. Not now.<br>

				<br>"Force methods not directly relating to the light saber or brute use of the force on ones environment or opponent. All other aspects of using the force was considered sorcery, a term we used before I entered statis. Many areas of it exist, life is just one of them. Some secrets many don't I know, but there are always more secrets, I am not sure if unlocking them all is possible, I have certainly unlocked more than most. Before statis I was well known for one that created life forms and had sublime abilities to modify and change life. But yes life adaption, regenerations as well as its creation are some things I know, some of which was taught to me by Kuewokka."<br><br>Alana then waved towards the wise wookie.<br><br>"Now I think you can understand our appreciation and focus now he is with us again. Do talk with Kuewokka when you can, all who do are always better for it, never has he turned any away due to being too busy or not important enough a person for your thoughts to be deemed worth listening to. He is very much loved by all who meet him. Frankly there isn't anything to dislike. A roll model and stone pillar for those of the Grey."<br>

The Gree border weapons would destroy us... no, we're travelling using force travel, the Gree have beacons for such travel, and we're going to one of them" The old wookie said<br><br>Aethan walked back and forth before finally asking "Master... can we take the Sightless to Alpheridies...?"

				As she sped along, Ren'ava sent a series of thoughts back to the Cathar knight, "I am glad you understand.&nbsp; The attack was significant, historically.&nbsp; It caused a rift within the Order and was the catalyst for a whole host of unfortunate events.&nbsp; There are lessons to be found in it, in all history.&nbsp; That is why I am so disturbed to see things missing from the library's historical record.&nbsp; Perhaps later, we will talk more.&nbsp; I am curious about the more recent history of the galaxy.&nbsp; I would like you to enlighten me when there is time."<br><br>History was one of her great avocations, something she enjoyed discussing greatly.&nbsp; Returning to her quarters, she gathered her things.&nbsp; She'd never quite gotten over her early life, never owning more than she could carry with her.&nbsp; It was a habit that had become set in stone, "Aethan..." she spoke into her communicator, "I am prepared.&nbsp; If such a threat as a moon sized weapon exists, we should be going.&nbsp; Time is of the essence."<br><br>She could feel it, something of a shiver in the air.&nbsp; And she didn't like it.
