Private One Breath

[Serena Bouie]

The dirty blonde haired woman stood silently at the center of the circle of stones she had found on one of the mesas. She had been drawn here the life force, the white light of the force pulled her to this place.

Everything she knew was gone, her twin sister dead, her parents dead, and her life as a Jedi had taken a turn she had not expected. Her sister had a long standing relationship with a sith, Mythos and together they had children. Only one child still survived, the girl who no one would ever know by her real name and she would never be found unless Serena wished it. It was the best she could do for the young girl given her parentage.

Standing now at the center she closed her eyes and reached out to the force, would it still accept her. Would it wrap the warmth of its power around her again?

This life she had been living had served it's purpose and now she wanted to live again, and go in search of the history of the galaxy but first she must be herself, she must find herself and regain what talents she had.

She could see everywhere from here, the jungles, the mountains, and the bright sunlight. Each of the elements reminded her of who and what she was.

From within her mind she knew, she must be reborn to what she had cut herself from, and that required a pilgrimage.

Yavin to the old temples....

Once again she found her way to working the odd job. Dishwasher, Cook, Healer, and sometimes just a Councilor. All of these tasks reminded her that there were such lives that knew no other way than this. Each day they rose and did the dishes, or cooked, or..whatever was needed to feed themselves, to feed family, and friends.

She was grateful for what she had. She did not feel degraded or beneath any of it. She was just..doing what was needed.

What was needed, those words were driving her now. What she needed to do to find purpose. It could not be about what she wanted, it truly had to be what was needed. She was not the type to step out in front with a loud voice she had never learned to be so. She was not able to inspire and lead others, but she could support and be there.

Perhaps that was what was needed. Perhaps now under all things what was needed in this galaxy was someone to say I'm here, tell me what you need.

Out there..it waited.

She would be on Yavin in a few days, stops and everything taken into consideration. She felt the anticipation building with her, but she tempered it with patience. All things in time.

Yavin she had always wanted to explore the planet but there was never time. She could feel a presence on her skin that seemed to want to converse she turned her head and looked to where it would appear there was nothing. "I'm not ready yet, I need to clear my mind and balance my path. Once that is done we can talk."

She smiled and nodded respectfully to whomever or whatever was there. A half turn and she was headed to a single spot within the jungle. This place was alive with the force like Dagobah. It held it's breath waiting for its children to come home. Serena wished this was home but where she was born it wasn't a home, it had been a place her father thought he could help - Kessel. Home of the mines, slaves and prisoners.

But that was for another time.

She walked along what appeared to be a path she could see the grenade fungi and near the bioluminescent orchids she had already made plans to see one at night. But first she had to get to Stargazer Hill. It was drawing her there, it seemed to be the perfect place for new beginnings. The Rebels and Imperials had fought there in the past and a new way of life was born.
