Grain chain

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She looked to her and listened " yea....I've been keeping a ear put for the first order...their on the door step of coming into the sector imahalyan sits in...I fear they may enter...and I may need to do drastic measures "she said a sshe sighed
[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay hadn't heard that. She had forgotten that First Order space was so close. And it was branching out. "Let me know when they are coming, and I'll be there to help. I know some of their members because of the Embassy. Maybe we could get them to leave you alone."

[member="Stardust Raxis"]

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She looked to her and gave a soft smile, despite it all and all that was going on she managed to keep a smile" I don't even know when they are coming, however I do know what must be done to insure my people's safety...say how long till we reach the planet
[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay wondered what [member="Stardust Raxis"] meant by that. How was she going to ensure their safety? Whatever it was, Star had decided to change the subject. "It'll be a few hours at least. Dagobah isn't very close. How many times have you been there?"

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

Hmmmm I honestly don't remember hahaha plenty of times I know, once went there with gray and had a little date night in the hutt he had built" she said as she chuckled and gave a smile" few hours huh
[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay nodded a little. At least [member="Stardust Raxis"] wasn't always going there for something as scary as what they were doing. It was always good to find something positive too. And a date was usually something positive. Usually. Kay had only had one date since her husband passed away and that went horribly bad. And it wasn't as though she was so eager to try for any more.

She dug out her new lightsaber from her satchel and held it out for Star to see. "Do you like it? There's a trick to igniting it. That way if anyone finds it, they might believe me when I say that it's just decorative."

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She smiled as she looked to the Saber and gently took it to inspect it" amazing....elegant...and you said a trick to igniting it? Hmmm and tricky, it reflects you perfectly sister
[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay laughed a little, her cheeks reddening a bit. "Possibly. Veiere helped me to build it. Or rather he guided me and watched over for me while I put it together. He's going to get me a little up to speed with some defensive techniques as well."

[member="Stardust Raxis"]

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

Hmmmmm" she said and smiled as she looked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder "my doors are open for you to come to learn from me as well sister

The hours went by...soon they would arrive over the planet dagaboh
[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay nodded, placing her hand on top of [member="Stardust Raxis"] '. "Thank you, Star. I appreciate it." She would rather have that than go to Dagobah, but it was too late to change her mind.

As the hours went by, she spent her time eating, reading and sleeping. As they were getting close, she made sure that she was dressed in a suit that was suitable for the environment.

Terrac then let Star pilot the ship down to the surface.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She gave a nod and smiled proudly to her, she was showing that she was there...she'd always be there to help her out...just like she was now

The hours went by, most of that for stardust was mediating, the rest eating, she knew that she needed to be prepared for the planet that would greet them

Soon she was in the cock pit as she looked the planet over" alright here we go" she said as she closed her eyes and started the ship down, the ship shook slightly as they entered the planet, fog covered their vision yet stardust seemed to not worry, within minutes the had landed in a pretty tight spot" there we go

[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay felt the ship descend and then touch down on the surface. She let in a deep breath and then let it out slowly. This was not going to be fun. How could one prepare to have to face their nightmares? Their fears? You just can't. The imagination can be far worse than reality, but who's to say that it isn't this time?

She headed out of her room and over to [member="Stardust Raxis"] . "Okay....let's get this over with."

Terrac gave Kay a look that was filled with a lot of things, worry, love and courage. "See you soon, doll. Chin up."

She gave her old pilot a smirk, followed by a thumb's up, before waiting for Star to lead.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She opened her eyes as she sat back and pulled a ration bar out and at half, she had been using the force to guide them down, she stood and looked to [member="Lady Kay"], she gave a soft smile and patted her shoulder " when we get to the cave don't worry if we get split up ok

She then looked to terrac" she'll be back....that I swear my life upon

With that she started walking out, she placed a booted foot to the ground and started walking on the marshy ground

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay only nodded a little. She didn't expect that they would be facing their demons together. [member="Stardust Raxis"] had her own reasons for going, and Kay was only a small part of it.

She followed Star out of the ship and took a moment as the humidity struck her. It was odd at how it was both cool and humid at the same time. The mist made it harder to see and the sounds of the animals just echoed. "I hope that it's not far...."

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She took a breath in feeling the humidity and then sughed out, the planet gad a odd beauty to it, but his a secret in its cave it had" it's not to far a simple is all" stardust said as she felt the force drawing her towards it, she could close her eyes if she wanted and simply walk there

[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay nodded a little as she followed [member="Stardust Raxis"] through the swamp. Her mind was reeling through different thoughts on what can occur in the caves. As each step was taking, she started to think of what would happen if it worked. Maybe she'd be freer, she wasn't too sure. But at least those around her would be happier. And that was far more important.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She looked to lady kay as she kept walking, soon the fog surrounded her without her even knowing and kay would lose sight of her, if she attempted to run to her She would encounter a cave entrance, one could assume that was the cave she needed to head to

Stardust looked back as she couldn't feel kay any more...seems the force was impatient to put them through whatever they needed...she hoped her sister would persevere
[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay was so lost in thought and just plodding ahead that she didn't notice [member="Stardust Raxis"] disappear until it was too late. She slowed down and squinted through the fog. "Star??....Oh great..."

There was no sign of her, not even a sound. The noise of the swamp also disappeared. Kay rubbed her arms as she continued walking, feeling very uneasy. Instead of the area growing darker as she walked into the cave, it became a brighter white. She squinted as she proceeded ahead, until a barrier caused her to stop. Or was it a wall? Kay touched it with her hand and then turned around. Instead of seeing the brightness from earlier, she saw a door. A chill ran down her spine as the room became more detailed. Looking down at herself, she noticed that her clothing had changed into a white hospital gown. "Oh no...."

She was back in Thraxis' mental institution in her padded cell.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

Stardust stopped as she reached the cave entrance, she looked around it and entered it slowly, all light disappeared, she was left still walking slowly. She stopped when she felt something had changed, the looked around and suddenly she was now on nar shadda, she looked around again and spotted herself as a child with her parents, happy as could be as they made their way to the ship to leave for home

She then paled....as much as someone green could, she took a death breath in....she knew what happened nect... but never had seen it from a different view
[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay frowned and sat down on the floor, drawing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. It wasn't long before the door opened, and in came 'Doctor Thraxis'. He sat down on a chair that appeared out of nowhere, interlocking his fingers as he rested his elbows on his knees, studying her with that caring look in his eyes. For most that might provide a bit of comfort in a scary place, but for her, it brought chills.

"Now, Miss Kay...You've been sent back. I don't think that you're as cured as you thought."

Kay clenched her jaw. She was never sick, it was just some twisted game. Wasn't it? "They said that I had demons to face. So...are you my demon?"

Doctor Thraxis shook his head with a disappointed sigh. "No, Miss Kay. You are your own demon. How many times must you make yourself suffer? How many times does he have to die?"

Kay looked up at him. "You mean Shaw?"

"His death is your excuse for everything. You find ways to connect it to whatever happens to you, whether it's bad or good, and hold yourself back. So I ask you again, Miss Kay. How many times does he have to die?"

"But I can't help it. What happened to Gray was almost like what haplened to Shaw. What am I supposed to do? Just forget about it and move on? Just let the evil continue and let Masq win?"

"He already did win, Miss Kay. Do you see yourself living? Shaw sacrificed himself so that you can live. Not so that you could wallow in self-pity and fear being around anyone. Do you call that living? Masq hasn't been seen in over a decade and yet you let him control every aspect of your life."

Kay frowned. She looked away from him. "I still do good things..."

"What's the point of doing anything if you don't allow yourself to enjoy it? Think about it, Miss Kay. Either wallow in here in your own personal prison...or...get up, free yourself from your shackles and walk out that door. The choice is yours..."

Doctor Thraxis disappeared. Kay looked to the door, but didn't get up. At one point, Masq had changed his appearance to that of Shaw and tricked her into kissing and embracing him, just in time for Shaw to walk in and see them on the couch. It was a nasty trick and Kay felt guilty about being tricked into being disloyal. So she had remained loyal to his memory and kept everyone away.

Maybe now it was time to change..
