The Knights Of Tomorrow

[Zoe Vitorbreeze]

"This is stupid. Im speaking with Father. You don't get to come into an academy thinking you are better than everyone else and understand more than WE DO. That is the problem with Offworlders if you ask me." Zoe said with a stern look in her eyes.

 

[Tahti-Na]

For a moment, the only sound was the Corellian wind, stirring the trees.

Then, without a word, Tahti-Na turned and walked down the path, toward the cliffs at the academy's edge.

 

[Zoe Vitorbreeze]

Zoe muttered, "I don't care how many midi-chlorians she has—there's something wrong with her."

 

[Reylin Vitorbreeze]

Rey didn't answer right away.

Then softly, almost to herself: "She felt hollow in the Force just now. Like she wasn't... fully here."

 

[Zoe Vitorbreeze]

Later That Night

Zoe sat alone in her quarters, sharpening her focus crystal with a maintenance tool. Reylin entered, hesitating in the doorway.

 

[Reylin Vitorbreeze]

"She's meditating outside again," Reylin said. "In the middle of a thunderstorm. Not flinching. Not blinking. I don't mean to give so much attention to her, but I cannot ignore this."

 

[Zoe Vitorbreeze]

Zoe set the tool down. "Ok... Maybe the archives can help narrow down her species or...Something?"

 

[Reylin Vitorbreeze]

"I don't know," Reylin whispered. "But I saw something when I brushed her aura earlier. A vision. I saw a metal chamber. Fluid. And voices—echoes—saying numbers. 'Subject Twelve. Response: stable.' And… I think she heard me."

 

[Zoe Vitorbreeze]

Zoe stood, crossing the room. "We need to tell Dad."

 

[Tahti-Na]

Outside, lightning forked across the sky.

And far at the edge of the cliff, Tahti-Na sat perfectly still, her cloak rippling in the storm wind, eyes open… and glowing faintly in the darkness.
