Space Elf Song

[Vulpesen]

As the last stone fell into place, Vulpesen stood and dusted off his coat. "Well, there is a market for puzzles. And if it could be sold, he was happy to stock it. Besides, I needed something to do in my pastime, and I couldn't spent the whole week reading and training." He took her clue with the saber and produced his own, illuminating the area with another beam, the black core not helping much, though the radiant gold was what truly stood out in the darkness.

Matsu looked at his blade while she was walking down and the room they were in she looked around. The stairs blending in with the side of the room for an optical illusion unless you could be at the right angle and she brought her saber down to slash it and give them a way to see the stairs. She turned to look at it while there was a shimmer on the edges of her vision. "Smart." She looked at the sides of the walls and spoke. "An illusion with the rooms but there is more. I have studied these techniques for shifting into a pocket dimension. Whatever is in here someone shifted." She was reaching and looking at the large area in the center of the floor as it brought her attention around to the sections of the room. Matsu stood still and focused as her hand glimmered and there was a building of energy, a pop and pulse of force energy that revealed some jedi tapestries depicting the battle between Cay and Ulic as she shifted another bringing our a pot of solari crystals then another with an ornate box. Matsu was breathing harder as she knelt there.

Sheila looked at the two of them as they were working and oh so many thoughts were going through her head while she moved bout in the tomb. Her eyes looking as she flew under the door and was down in the lower chambers searching it but she couldn't find anything. until the jedi was speaking about it. SOmething was shifted and then she found one of the ripples landing on an alcove and seeing there there was script on the walls.

 

[Vulpesen]

He knelt beside her, draping he robe over his arms as he beheld the items. "These are quite a find Master Ike, but I'm not a jedi anymore. No matter how interesting or powerful these items might be, there's no way i could ever use them." It didn't always show, but Vulpesen knew there was darkness in him. Maybe not in his wills or desires, but certainly in many of his methods. No, he knew that any attempt to sue the crystals and robes would only end in failure.

He turned as he fet the shift int he cage, his eyes turning to the script. Perhaps he wouldn't be at a total loss. There was still the chance that this lace could hold other secrets, for instance, secrets that might be revealed though the text on the walls. Already, his mind was racing to translate the words, something he figured Master Ike was already doing as well.

Matsu looked at him while she was moving and shifting more things, her hand eating a powerbar that would give her the energy but also give her the chance to take it all in. The script on the wall she was reading and speaking. "It is history, well most of it in the form of a fable." She shifted out a section as it was a table with more books and a datapad. "And it isn't just about the family, there are other dynasties and stories about conflicts before and after." She was holding up one of the books while she opened it and brought her hand to another distortion. The section revealing a picture and more on the desk. "Taken from before the great hunt it says, when they set off and never were found until near two hundred years later. There are exerts from their datapads in here describing what was found." She tapped a few things and the wall revealed more as it shifted and she started spinning sections of it. "A small puzzle within the puzzle, like a combination lock." Matsu was looking over it and slowly worked until more shifted to open up while she led the way inside. "These books are fascinating and I think I can implement their locations based on celestial drift to find some of these things they are talking about. No planet is named except Ossus and Coruscant they are in code." She was fascinated and slid another book up looking it over. "It is an inventory."

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen wandered over the walls, his eyes narrowing at the lock. An inventory? And you only put a lock on things that were too valuable to loose. Stepping beside Matsu, he started on the puzzle, quickly running through it as his hands slid each piece into place. After the first puzzle, this one had started to be easy, and it wouldn't be long before the last part fell into place.

Matsu worked ont it, the wall sliding in to some places as she looked over the book getting it to lick itno place. The door started to open and she held the one book in her hands while the room they came into was empty at first and then she was looking in there. Distortions and force energy was pouring off the stand in the center. Her hands came to many things while she was motioning with her hand for Vulps to the side of the room. She couldn't see any other traps in the room but was bringing out her equipment while her hands went into the distortion and she looked over towards vulps. Then she felt something in her chest for a moment until she was looking up into the night sky. She couldn't see vulps but the distortion as she brought it out came. She was looking at Aing-Tii tech built into the stand and her mind was working while looking up into the night sky. SHe didn't know what vulps was doing while she walked around the area and was looking at some other things. She tried to feel vulps but from here she couldn't see anything but the cresian disc in the distance on the far side of the planet... The galactic plane in the other while she looked up. "I know this world." She was looking at it and the galactic plane was quite a sight while she walked on the surface of Sebaddon."

Sheila felt something, her attention going as she didn't hear the jedi speaking anymore and she went back into the larger chamber when something happened. The bubble of the force popping while she saw treasures and artifacts appear all around them as she landed on some of them with a grin on her hand. Hands grabbing a gem as she looked at herself in it and then to the jedi. "What just happened? Suddenly all these things appeared."

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen's eyes widened as both Matsu an Sheila disappeared upon touching the artifact. Certainly strange to say the least but considering he didn't feel any death, only disappearance, he had a feeling that they were alright. He walked over to the object and looked over it, his tail waving. "Aing-tii. Which probably means..." He reached out and in a flash, felt the same pressure n his chest before appearing besides Matsu. "Well, hello there."

The feeling in her stomach came away as Matsu looked at Vulps and spoke with a grin on her face now. "It is quite a rush isn't it?" THere was more of a look on her face while going forward into the area and she motioned for vulps bringing him into view with her. "Not everyday you are going to see that." Matsu pointed into the sky as the galactic plane was above them, the swirling of the galaxy and she could point out several places. "Look I can see Coruscants from here." Not really but what else was there to say while she was moving towards one og the mountains nearby. The hole in the wall leading to carved stairs and more script as she held the book with her hand reading along some fo the lines. "Seems they had some other special things to use, I would love to study the technology but... we are going to need it to get back. Few actually know how to find this world and with the black hole they can't really jump to hyperspace to get to us." Matsu came out of the stairs in another tomb like area with more riches and more of everything including several holocrons. The cubes glowing while she touched them until she grabbed a golden diamond shape.

There was a look on her face when Vulps disappeared.... She was alone in a room filled with treasure as she rubbed her hands together and was grinning nearly dive bombing into some of the golden coins as she pressed her wings to her back and was moving through them like she was swimming and rolled around. "I'm rich." She was humming a song in her head and out loud as the gems she found were a great thing and she held some of them up to the light watching all the things she was enjoying with her hands rubbing it.

 

[Vulpesen]

His eyes went over the area around them, then at the stars above. "Ok, so where are we?"He started to wander around the surface of their new location." He started to wander around when Ace suddenly appeared and leaped onto his shoulder. "Are we at least near our own galaxy, or did we somehow end up on another?"

Matsu looked at him as she listened and spoke. "No think more the space between galaxies on a planet only a few actually look for." She was moving with her attention on the holocron while she held it and felt the energy of it." Getting home from here unless you know the way would be a very hard and very dangerous thing. Most ships would be lost." She said it while looking over some of the other things that were there, the tomb they had found for Ulic had held equipment like this and information on it but she was looking at more of the crystals around them.

 

[Vulpesen]

He tilted his head tot he side and felt his tail flick in curiosity. "Space between galaxies? As in a sort of hyperspace, or literally between galaxies?" He'd heard of extra-galactic planets and beings, the yhuzan-vong for instance. But even they had a galaxy of their own to call home. "And whats this place between galaxies called?"

"Oh we are not in another dimension or some pocket of hyperspace like otherspace or the dream dimensions. This is just in the void of space between the galaxies that the vong traveled for tens of thousands of years." She was looking over some of the things though and moving towards him while she spoke. "This place is lucky and shows the hazards, the galaxy on one side and the cresian disc of a large black hole on the other. It keeps most things from getting into the safe zone this planet sits.... Almost like it was placed." She said that while looking at him with a aised eyebrows while holding a new book in her hands she had found. "Just like the tome we found in the sky temple and I have found in other places Something far older then most and the codex. This one talks about some of the oldest beings before the celestials."

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen let out a small sigh of relief at her opening statement. "Good. I think I've been in enough alternate realities for one life time. Several actually." He gazed back up at the sky. well, if there was one good thing that could be said about the situation, it was that he had a perfect view of the stars above. he'd almost forgotten just how much he loved them. "Speaking of being placed, why where we brought here? And as for celestials, I've heard of a lot of great beings, but none that were older than them."

Matsu looked at him and moved to stand net to him. "Oh there are things always older then what came before, just have to look deep enough. In some cases it is as simple as one species building the foundation of the galaxy or something above all else. I have seen recordings of some of these creature, so dangerous they were cast down and sealed beyond reach by most. We know the vong were around and warring with themselves and species in their galaxy thousands of years ago, something built the machines that came to their home and those ones had to come from somewhere. Back and back until the dawn of time. We have heard of and seen the obscure reports and finding places others cannot dream of and know that the prime gate on Dathomir before it was destroyed went to places far beyond our reach." Matsu was walking though with her hand on his bakc moving back down the stairs to lead towards the machine to take them homeish.

 

[Vulpesen]

"Which begs the question, what was at the beginning of time?" You could go back and back all you wanted, but no matter what, tehre was always that point where you had to ask, and what did that beginning of beginnings begin from? Among the Amarans, there was the belief of Rurrri and Surru, though Vulpesen and most of the sane members of the species had learned to doubt the story of how two fox spirits mated and begat the stars above.

Matsu looked at him. "Well I do not know and I don't know if anyone will know but we will just live and see, millions upon billions of years doing things and eventually the galaxy will see what happens. Perhaps eventually the old things in the galaxy will be revealed or some supreme intelligence will appear... or maybe we'll develop time travel and go back to see the beginning." She was walking and returning to the device looked at some of the things she had grabbed making sure there was nothing she was missing out on. Touching the machine to bring her back into the tomb as she stood there looking over the things to get a look on her face. Matsu still felt like her stomach had been dropped and pulled out of her but dammit she walked there picking through some more of the things. A crystal glowing with energy as she held it. "A healing crystal is always a nice thing to find."

Sheila was laying there in the gems and crystals as she saw one of the jedi return. A look on her face as she turned up. "Oh you're back... yay." She had her pile of stones and treasures to take with her and if she needed to she'd carry them all with her bare hands but that wouldn't be as fun while she had a small pouch in her hands to load up and carry. She could make this work or attach it to one of their belts if they both came back and get themt o carry it.
