Maybe such comparisons amounted to nonsense in the end, except in an attempt to scale those mountains that loomed over this Pantoran woman, veiled beneath a welkin swelled with white, like ice fell upward upon the sky to blanket this planet from existence. Maybe thoughts were meaningless as they drifted within her mind like driftwood on the ocean, only this was no sea that carried her feet, but snow that crunched beneath.
Onward, she marched, dressed in garments fit for these frigid conditions. This planet in the Outer Rim, Galatha is its name, sported verdant forests and mountains in black rock bound, but as with many worlds it was all but frozen over in certain sections. This is where the Pantoran was, and Vayla Mirana was her name, while Jedi Knight was her rank. Though, only those who needed to knew that she was also a Jedi Shadow.
Shadows were not in her midst, neither rays of sunlight despite it being daytime. Daylight did shine; meager slivers slipping beneath the pale blue sheet calling itself a sky. It wasn’t much but it was enough light to see, provided guidance for her feet. However, Vayla did not traverse the snow alone.
Between the stones that peppered the landscape, unfettered by a wind that howled one moment and whispered the next, she walked together with another person. Above her, some kind of owl hooted, perched in a tree. Green leaves and brown bark were few and far between the stones and the snow, but it was one rock in particular that had drawn Vayla Mirana’s attention, her reason for being here.
On Golatha, rumors of ruins ran rife. So, the adventurer within her came to this place, for the rock called her name, and the blue-grey boulder was named Goliath. Shaped like an egg, they said, and whether it was easy to glimpse from orbit it was hard to find purchase right beside it. So her ship had landed at a distance, and there she was, marching toward it.
Goliath. She spied with her naked eye, gaze searching through a blurry as snow billowed; droplets dotted like stars of a galaxy; on a valley of black-white the sunlight did glitter. Forward, Vayla Mirana walked, with another, her companion, Asani Windsong. Together, they would explore this Goliath, as the wind would sing a song not so easily forgotten.
