Past, Present, Future.

[The Red of Sinner]

It had been years since he heard the name [member="Rianna Ordo"] and more since he had seen her. He hadn't really become friends with her, but none the less was probably one of the few Jedi who's presence he enjoyed. It seems that was her gift, having a joyful, and out going demeanor. He had invited her to Tatooine to visit, paid for it all to have her come. Maybe he needed some spiritual guidance, or something. He knew people she had been friends with, and he knew people who were her enemies. When he was in the Horde he was an enemy, now that his allegiance lied with the Levantine Sanctum, she could count him as an ally. Maybe.

 

[Rianna Organa]

The invitation had found her at home on Mandalore it was sometime since she had seen him. Tattoine. She loved that desert world that was the thing about it, you either loved it or hated it. Rianna loved the twin suns, the cool nights, and the diversity of people that crossed over the sands to make it to Mos Eisley. She showed the invitation to [member="Ordo"] she had made a promise that from now on no secrets on where she was.

Interesting that he had paid for her trip but then again he would not know of her fortunes since their last meeting. After careful consideration they agreed it should be safe for her to go. Dressing in something simple for traveling so as to not draw attention to herself Rianna made the trip to Tatooine. Days later she arrived the blistering heat met her the moment she exited the transport. She could hardly breath she took her time as she walked, acclimating herself to the temperatures. She made her way to the one place that would offer a clean bed for her stay would he meet her here? Or would it be at the cantina? Or would he be watching and simply knock on her door?

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo's days of acting like a shadow were nearly behind him, he just wanted some company while his apprentices did their job finding out who the darksider was on Nar Shaddaa. He knew she was here though cause nothing came here without his knowing. He finally after she made her bedding came, knocked on her door. He wore a typical black desert tunic, and black pants with combat boots. His red eyes drilled into the door as he awaited.

He knew nothing of what had become of her other than her marriage. He awaited longer for her to come to her door, and greet him. [member="Rianna Ordo"]

 

[Rianna Organa]

Rianna opened the door and smiled, [member="Romeo Sin"], "Well as I live and breath" Rianna looked upon him checking out his stance, his appearance. "I must say I was quite surprised to get this invitation Romeo Sin."

Rianna could sense something else within him. It touched her senses briefly and then floated away. "Shall we walk?" She offered rather than sit in her rooms, she always liked walking more than sitting. It helped to make her feel alive.

 

[The Red of Sinner]

He smiled at her sight, still as beautiful as ever. He vowed before her in respect. "Yes, lets please. I could how you around." He smiled and staples aside do let her walk out. His eyes were drifted about some of the people that were about. One thing that was still the same about him was that he still watched out for danger. "How are you Mrs. Ordo?" He smiled again at her. He wondered if it was okay to mention the Czar Jerrick around her. They had been close...or so he thought. "I hear your husband is quite the busy man lately." [member="Rianna Ordo"]

 

[Rianna Organa]

Rianna should not have been surprised, "Yes my husband [member="Ordo"] is very busy, between running his company and supporting the Mand'alor" She grinned she should have known that he might know about that. Rianna moved passed him into the hall.

"I have always enjoyed Tattooine I don't understand the issues that everyone has" Of course she knew their reasons Tattoine had a reputation and it had lived up to it, well the inhabitants had lived up to it for some time now. "I was surprised at the invitation, how are you [member="Romeo Sin"]? What have you been doing?" Rianna watched him, he had no hesitation in speaking to her she had no reason to think that there was anything wrong with this visit other than two people catching up.

But was there something to be concerned about, she did not know and only time would reveal it.

 

[The Red of Sinner]

He nodded as he listened about the business of Mandalore, and their leader. What he remembered about the people of Mandalore was war driven people, who respected strength, and family. "I've been digging dirt on people, training my students, being Sin." He winked and chuckled. "I enjoy the heat, keeps you awake, and busy." He watched the crowd of aliens and other beings as they made their way around the city.

"I hear things, see things, and sometimes I like to let others in on what I find out. Like Jerrick Shado...I've seen him some time ago." He probably should have chose his words better but there's no real way put it. You stalker is a sithspawn. Sorry. Okay maybe he could say it better, but he wasn't known for beating around the bush. Straight forward was his way. "We used to be enemies....The Horde and all...funny how things change. Oh..I'm a father." He chuckled again. [member="Rianna Ordo"]

 

[Rianna Organa]

[member="Romeo Sin"]

Rianna smiled, "Being Sin that sounds very bad" She listened as he went on talking about what he had been doing

Jerrick, a name she had not heard since. Rianna looked over at Romeo the look she gave him a cross between confusion and pain. "You saw Jerrick, but" now Rianna knew that there were force ghosts out there but Jerrick was not a force user was it possible he had come back as. Rianna tried to move her lips to force words out she had to stop and take a breath settle herself, "but Jerrick died he can't" Be back she never finished the sentence.

She hoped he would explain a little better explain his words he must have meant he saw a picture of him, not that he saw him. She heard him say father, but still her attention was drawn back to Jerrick.

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo stopped, and rubbed the back of his neck. How does one say such terrible things. He sighed, and turned to Rianna. He looked behind her, there was a table, chairs for a diner. "Sit please...this is...a long story." He said as he lead her to the table. He pulled the chair out for her, and sat in the opposite chair. "When I was with the Horde....they found Jerrick...but he's....not Jerrick anymore...the armor is what gave it off. well..the skin." He took a deep breath, and continued. "He's a Sithspawn now. He remembers nothing, nor can he speak..he's a murdering monster. His force connection has given him the ability to be raised from death...only through the dark side." He touched her hand in a friendly comforting way. He knew this was hard for her, it was hard to see her as such a way. "I'm sorry Rianna..I...thought you had heard..." [member="Rianna Ordo"].

 

[Rianna Organa]

Rianna nodded and moved though slowly as she prepared herself for whatever it is that she would be told. She listened to the words and felt each one pierce her as if she had watched him die all over again. Raised from the dead by Sith Alchemy a dark preparation for certain known to Master's of the darkside. Rianna only dealt with the living, nothing that was dead can be revived through a jedi's talents. Now Jerrick was something else, something evil, something that if she faced him she'd have to kill. dam.

Rianna felt Romeo's hand on hers she looked over sadness in her eyes, "I had not heard, and I am" what was she, "shocked to learn of it." She tilted her head slightly as she thought about Jerrick the first person to greet her when she went to Tython. "You say he remembers nothing, at all?" Did nothing remain, she would have to learn about sith spawn now, find out all she could, just in case it was needed.

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo shook his head yes. "Only reason I knew it was him was his..armor skin. That started my suspicions..then I over heard the Vong Supreme Lord call him Jerrick." He gritted his teeth, it angered him to know he had connections in that terrible group. "I left shortly afterwards. I couldn't take the shaping and the senseless killing. Even the Sith seemed some what good compared to them." That was saying a lot and he didn't even agree with his own words.

"Apart from that..I don't think he's even...controlled anymore. I think he's running rampant..or something." He shrugged, and removed his hand. "There are worse fates, I believe." He said smiling. "He couldn't have an amazing friend like you." [member="Rianna Ordo"]

 

[Rianna Organa]

[member="Romeo Sin"]

Rianna nodded, "it is inevitable then, our paths will cross." Rianna asked herself what would she do on that day? She did not know, not yet. "Thank you Romeo Sin you are a good friend to have" Controlled like an animal, living like an animal. The force had strange ways of doing things what was it that this would bring in the end.

"So" she wanted to change the subject, "Tell me, you're a father you say?" Yes speak of happier things of family.

 

[The Red of Sinner]

"Yes, a four year old daughter." He smiled brightly at her. "She's off planet with a babysitter, it pains me to think that my path draws me away from her, but it gives me strength to keep going. Someone has to help keep the galaxy safe...I can't sit around and not help..one day she will understand why her father was not always with her...I hope." His smile left, and he seemed to be in a different.thought. Her mother had up and left, leaving him a single father.

[Rianna Organa]

[member="Romeo Sin"]

There was more to the story she could feel it see it. It was amazing to Rianna that with all the evil in the galaxy how two people could hurt each other than all the Sith there was.

"One day she will understand everything." Rianna couldn't help but think of Jerrick and Rolland. Personal failures in her eyes. Her own p
Personal failures. Lack of foresight.

"Romeo are you doing what you thought you would be?"

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo nodded, and smiled.
"One day."
But then she asked him about if this was what he saw himself doing back then. He laughed.
"By the force no...I saw myself leaving a bloody trail of Sith bodies behind me...not a child wondering why her father only visits every other week."
He rubbed his chin.
"Or sitting here with the famous [member="Rianna Ordo"], and having a friendly chat." He smiled brightly at her.

 

[Rianna Organa]

[member="Romeo Sin"]

Rianna laughed, reaching over and touching his arm, "nothing famous about a healer but thank you" Rianna thought for a moment, "I don't know that I ever had a moment where I asked myself if I was who I thought I was going to be. That."

She stopped talking, choices had been made for her, and she had just gone along as most do. "I never thought about being something else. Maybe I could of had a great career as a" Could she not even think of something now pretending she searched for something, "hunter, songstress.." she laughed.

Could she even carry a note in a bucket? "The child's mother Romeo, she lives?"

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo laughed at the thought her singing, and it made him think, where would he be ten years from now?
She asked about the his ex wife, he frowned.
"Im not sure actually.."
He trailed off, what else could he say about it?
"It doesn't matter, she is plenty happy without her, and I see less trouble coming from her mother now."
[member="Rianna Ordo"]

 

[Rianna Organa]

[member="Romeo Sin"]

She had touched a topic that hit a bad nerve. A reminder not to say anything about the daughter's mother. "That is good" She said though she wasn't sure of the circumstances and didn't know if it was good or bad.

"What is it like having a child?" She had no children of her own biologically. All of the Clan Ordo children, were adopted. Did it make a difference?

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Rianna was now asking about children, and being a parent in his eyes.
"I just want to see her smile every day...sometimes I wonder what will it be like for her when the Sith keep up their ways...anyways its a joy, and plenty of work keep her happy." He chuckled, and leaned in close so she could best him. "Whats it like being married to the great [member="Ordo"] ?" [member="Rianna Ordo"]

 

[Rianna Organa]

[member="Romeo Sin"]

Rianna smiled her cheeks burned red, "it is" She looked down and then back up at Romeo, "its magnificent, he's......" She shook her head as she thought about [member="Ordo"], "everything I could have ever wanted in a husband, a friend, and a lover" She had said a little too much but Ordo was the most intimate relationship she had in the galaxy.

He knew her weaknesses, her strenghts, if there was anyone that held the keys to knowing how to bring her to her knees, it was her riddur.

"I recommend marriage to anyone Romeo, don't you want to be married?"

Strange conversation they were having.
