A promise over the years

[Saki lin]

Saki had grown, five years had passed, fiver years she worked with different people and groups, she had been a ren, in which she had fought with them and learned that a side in the force need not be chosen if you fight for a greater good

She left however, the xenophobic nature just wasn't for her, she left after about a year, she moved about and started focusing on one thing, finding where her master, and also her lover had went

First she searched around his place, she found very little about her master, her lover she found only one thing and that was for some super project that he had went to do, for the moment accepted the part about her lover and moved on to try and find her master,

And so five years she bounced around, she found very little about anything, she found bogus leads that led to firefights and death

However just as she was getting to the point of giving up a message came in....from a loyal servant to her masters government.....it listed on coordinates and Few word 'it's time for him to return'

She had made haste and jumped into a ship...small and would be used to transport her, after locking the coordinates in she looked at it...sereno...why there...she trusted her instinct and hit the button she'd be there in 2 hours....in which she prepared for a fight

The air was soft but cool on his skin as the wind tried to gently tug at his lower robes and hair, an attempt to wisp him away with it or so he mused to himself. He had climbed the peak of a cliff near were he had stayed for the passed five years, something like a retreat for him to enjoy himself and reflect on not only where he intended his life to go but on what his life before that lead him to stand there. Most of the scars from his fight with [member="Darth Banshee"] were healed, thanks to a combination of bacta and the force.

He had spent those years reaffirming his fighting style, refining his martial arts combinations and honing his body to a new level. Where his body had been toned and athletic before it was now chiseled and shaped into as good a shape as he could manage with natural means. Over the past months he had climbed the cliff every morning and enjoyed a quiet meditation at the top, in the clean air. Many times he had mused to himself that the way he was living now was much more fit for a jedi rather than a sith lord and his understanding of the force had deepened beyond what it had been. Now he didn't see the dark side or light side, it was something he found childish and the sith and jedi were like quarreling children in a "my father is better than your father" contest with deadly elements mixed in.

Now he saw it for what it was, an energy that everyone emanated and there really was not dark or light, rather it was the way those who could use it, used it. His eyes in the force had grown quite sharp now and he could see those that weren't force sensitive just as easily as those that had it. With a soft smile as if a familiar hand had been brought to his shoulder he let go of the stones that he had unconsciously began to levitate around him, watching them tumble down the cliff before he took a step forwards and fell. Little pulls in the force told him or rather conveyed the feeling someone he knew and cherished was close by, it oddly gave him a sense of security as he fell down the large cliff and then extending his hands he brought himself to a soft fall as he landed at the bottom.

[Saki lin]

She sat in the small ship, she was mediating, she was feeling the force pull her, over the five years she couldn't decided what she was...she didn't know whether she was light or dark....however, she had decided that she was a force user, where on the side she didn't care for the moment, she saw both as a way to use and give herself strength , strength she needed as she grew uneasy and nervous

She opened her eyes in surprise, she could feel some one familiar, she was certain she knew who it was...but..it felt like two she knew...this confused her, she stood up as she watched the ship revert to real space, the planet loomed in the distance, she got in the ship and guided it down slowly, she wouldn't even contact the landing towers, she had a goal...to free her master...

As she landed she was encounter by ground crews, they stopped seeing she had Sabers in her and a quite unpleasant look on her face

H..hey ma'am we need to-

Cut short as she sent them flying back and crouched and emitted her force signature out...maybe her master would feel it...and ping her back and...she felt him...it was a warm feeling....she rushed for it as men tried firing at her..she moved quickly and wouldn't attack...she would only seriously hurt some men...she had to see [member="Darth Erebos"]...maybe get answers about her lover

AS he stood before his armor, scarred and near broken, useless in battle now but the mask he had endeavored to fix the best he could but the scars were quite visible. Running his slender fingers along the scarred face of the mask as he breathed in. With a soft sighing exhale he felt the all too familiar and warm feeling of her, of [member="Saki lin"], his lover and apprentice. Her growth was evident and he felt himself swell with pride over her but there was also another feeling. The longing for her touch that he had denied himself these years and this longing was only bolstered by her coming signature.

"I'm so proud of you." He said under his breath as he wrapped the tron robes around his form but he left the armor where it was, the cocoon that had held him til this day. With a firm grip on his mask, he picked it up and placed it on his head as he walked out of the deep chamber he dwelt in, in the mansion. "Come to me." He said out loud as he let his confined signature out once more, he wasn't just a beacon for a moment he was like a super nova before it settled on a blazing and bright fire.

 

[Saki lin]

Men laid groaning in pain, saki walked now swloly as she panted, she felt him...yet she couldn't feel where he was...it caused her to slow

Then suddenly as if a supernova had went off by her She felt him, sheven could see now exactly where he was, she felt energy return to her and started running again...putting the force I to her legs to push her further, she ran without lo9kimg and a man with a stunning baton swung at her, she ducked and twisted her her flexibility to get around him and swung her foot into his back sending him flying and stunned....nothing would stop her...nothing would get in her way

She could of swore she heard him...though what he said she didn't know, she looked as she cane to the doors of the mansion...why here...did...did he leave just to take a vacation...no...last when they spoke his voice was grave...something had to happen for him to be here

She not being rude opened the door and stepped in...many men hid from her...but she called out loud" MASTER EREBOS....ARE YOU HERE? please be here...

The grand hall that opened up to her as she entered the mansion was crowned by a large ornate stair case and at the top stood Erebos. With his tattered robes and cracked mask he looked more like a ghost than a living being but as he allowed his force signature to retreat back inside of himself, a state in which most would see him as a newly made sith lord, his vastness diminished but it also showed he was alive. "I must admit I feared I wouldn't think to see you again." He said as he began to slowly walk down the stairs towards her.

He had been curious about the rampaging path she left in her wake to find him and her emotional turmoil gave him all the answers he really needed. She had missed him, both of him, one more than the other it seemed but then again he couldn't blame her. He wanted to simply run down the stairs and grip her tightly in his arms but something held him back from doing so. A part of him that he had been cultivating these years, the one that understood each emotion that came to him, had dissected it and reconstructed each and every single one, and had risen above them so that they no longer influenced him. As he reached the half way point he realized something about [member="Saki lin"], she was not simply his apprentice and lover but also his strength and greatest weakness. Simply the thought of being away from her for so many years had been unbearable and the thought of loosing her completely terrified him to no end, to the point he was certain it would destroy him to loose her.

 

[Saki lin]

She looked up slowly as she spotted him, hik the man who taught her how to use the force and gave her strength in the force, he looked more like a ghost yet the force let her know that was him in the flesh...not a ghost nor projection

But as he walked down towards her, her emotions ran high, why was he here...in such a fancy place looking stronger then he did last time, not to mention all those scars...it caused her anger sadness worry and so many other things she could quite possibly place, she just wanted to yell at him, she started focusing the force into a single punch, she stepped forward as the to came close and in a swift motion her right arm lunged to smack into the cheek of his mask, the power behind it carried the years of waiting...worry...and loneliness as she broke down and if the hit connect would look to him no" you idiot! You leave when the attack began left me on corusaunt when the Galactic alliance attacked made me me run around to find a place to settle for home! And on top of my lover t'zanith seemed to disappear right alomg side you! " She said yelling as tears streamed down her face as she approached unknowing of what her punch did but letting her emotions out in words and sobs

You..y.y..you left me, you left me alone for so long..why...why...why?! Why did you leave and not contact me for five years!"she yelled and yelled unknowing the one before her was zanith

He was to enraptured by their reunion to even see the clenched fist come crashing into the side of his face. The loud crack that he heard indicated that his mask was now beyond repair. "I had to leave Coruscant and return to Shawken to make sure my people had been spared the attack of the Galactic Alliance. However upon my return I was attacked by a mandalorian and severely wounded as she took me onto her ship. Only to be brought before a clan leader who wounded me even more and humiliated me. I had to rely on the very mandalorian who had beaten me for safety so I could rest, recuperate and meditate." He said as his masks vocabulator began to fail as he reached out and pulled her into a hug.

At that moment his mask began to come undone, half of it fell to reveal the pitch black eyes he usually hid with his blindfold as the upper half of the right side of his face was revealed. Soft white strands of hair fell down around him as small bits and pieces fell from his mask until his mask was only covering the left side of his face. "I missed you." He said with a soft smile as he leaned in to kiss her deeply as his face was now revealed enough for her to see who he really was, her lover and her master.

[Saki lin]

She panted as she loomed over him, she looked to him seeing she had cracked his mask, she heard him speak and hesitated as his voice modulator failed during his speech, was...no...it couldn't be..shock filled her body....her master had left to see for his people and was ambushed...he was beaten and humiliated, now another thing was being revealed after so long

As she was pulled into a hug she was shocked, she looked into his eyes that were revealed she watched more fall as she took a breath in, she was seeing two people, her lover and her master, she was pulled into a kiss by hik and kissed back before she moved back and placed a hand on his face, she reached over and pulled the other side gentky off to gaze on him "be the force zanith...." she couldn't describe her own happiness" you damn idiot...your late coming home you know " she said as her anger and sadness turned as she pulled him close" she reached to his cape and ripped a little piece of then wrapped it around his eyes" there, that's the zanith I remember now

[member="Darth Erebos"]

 

[Shaddi]

He smiled and chuckled lightly and let her tie the ripped blindfold around his eyes. "Well I'm home now." He said as he leaned in to rest his forehead against hers, his arms around the small of her back as he held her tightly against him. Her warmth always had such a soothing effect on him and by the force he had missed it, missed her. "How did you find me?" He then asked as he moved one hand up to cup her left cheek against it. His emotions whaled and roared for release, for him to grip her even tighter, to tear away anything that partied them and to have her again. It tested everything, every wall, every fortress he had built up around his mind and his emotions.

[Saki lin]

She gave a smile as she looked to him" someone in your empire gave me coordinates and simple words, it's time for his return " she said not remember the exact words, she said and pressed her forehead to his and closed her eyes and let her 'eyes' see him through the force, she was at peace, she was calm, her storm had been broken up by him"by the force, zanith I have missed you every day for five years not a day went by that i didn't look for you or try and find where you had gone" she said looking to him feeling he was holding back" let's go somewhere private do we can talk

[member="Darth Erebos"]

 

[Shaddi]

He leaned his head back and then chuckled just a little as he tightened his hold around her. "We are alone here Saki." He said but the way his hands gripped her body, showed how his hands trembled. He tightened his grip around her and then moved his head to rest against her neck. "By the force I missed you." He let out as it seemed something had stuck in his throat as his hands tightened even more around the small of her back.

[member="Saki lin"]

 

[Saki lin]

She looked to hin and smiled, true she felt the men leave to tend to the wounded put front *then we can talk* she said as she held him close and rubbed his back feeling his grip tightened around her, his hands they tenable causing her to pull him closer into her neck and pat his head *shhhhh speak the words I hear you struggling with....speak what you want my love* she said and pushed him gently forward*
[member="Darth Erebos"]

 

[Shaddi]

His jaw clenched as he looked at her. "Our absence from one another made me realize something, Saki. You are my greatest weakness and my greatest strength, if I ever lost you for good, if you were ever snatched from my arms." He stopped a little as if to choose his words while his hands gripped her a little tighter. "I'd burn the entire galaxy down around me in vengeance." At that his tone turned harsh and cold but then he simply seemed so very weak as he leaned in to kiss her.

[member="Saki lin"]

 

[Saki lin]

She looked to him as she held onto him, she listened to his words words as she held him closer, she wanted to speak but let him speak, when the the two kissed she broke away for a minute and looked to hin as she smiled, he looked so weak yet in her eyes he was strong

You are my other half, you make me whole and through those five years away when I looked for you almost everyday, when every person that gave me a false lead, every person that crossed me and tried to do harm to me when I search, I destroyed them and those who stopped me, I used you as my strength but you became my weakness in the way to" she said as she rubbed his cheek* your the last piece to my puzzle, then one who completes me " she said* I'd give everything for you, and now I have you

[member="Darth Erebos"]

 

[Shaddi]

He couldn't help it any longer and suddenly burst out laughing as he let her go and took a few steps back to sit down on the stairs behind him. "We are talking like a bad holo-soap opera." He said as he rubbed the side of his face were she had hit him. She certainly could hit hard. Leaning back he looked to her with a smile as his laughter died down a little. "Seems we also make one another quite corny." He then said jokingly as he chuckled and moved his hand to comb his hair back with his fingers.

[member="Saki lin"]

 

[Saki lin]

She watched him and giggled before she joined him in laughing and sat down as she looked over to him* hahahahahha dear God it is isn't it ohhohoho*she smiled and reached up to rub his cheek he hit gentky and gave a smile, just like that someone who could carve men up without a thought now a calm creature

Yea hahaha we do don't we dear" she said as she looked forward" do we return home?
[member="Darth Erebos"]

 

[Shaddi]

He smiled a little at her and then cleared his throat just a little. "I was actually thinking we go to a place I found about right before I left." He said with a smile as he stretched his back lightly and rested one hand against her cheek. "You are beautiful you know that." He then said lightly before he rubbed her cheek.

[member="Saki lin"]

 

[Saki lin]

She looked to him and gave a smile as she stood after he rubbed her cheek and held a hand out to him with a smile, all in her life was good* then we must make haste dear for this planet may look amazing but I wanna see where you shall lead me, for where you go I will follow at your side

[member="Darth Erebos"]

 

[Shaddi]

With a smile he took her hand and stood. "First lead me to your ship and I shall take us there." He waited for her to answer him as he recalled the coordinates to the place he wanted to take [member="Saki lin"] to. He wanted it to be as much of a surprise as possible.
