Waking up in a new Galaxy!

[Ayhia Katar]

Ayhia blinked at the sheer bluntness of Sanya's words pausing only a second before bursting out laughing, standing in front of her was someone whom knew their lot in life. She laughed for a moment and offered her hand, a clear gesture of acceptance from the battle scared woman. "If you don't mind i think ill stick around you. Its rare to find someone that understands that their is more to life the black and white." Ayhia ceased her chucking and nodded at the girl asking if she was hungry. "Yes i am indeed hungry but please... nothing to rich I'm a grunt not royalty like you."​

​

Ayhia motioned for the girl to lead the way, perhaps it was time but she found herself looking that the shot woman. In a way she almost laughed at herself for, now was not the time for things such as that. She needed to find a place or direction now, her eyes widened she remembered the voice now... a woman from her past... now it made sense. Ayhia was always going to end up here no matter what happened in the past.​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Sanya lead the way with a slight smile from the girls words. "I don't mind at all. It would be a pleasure to have you along." She said with a pleased tone and moving to the heater. "Again i may be royalty to many, but I'm still your normal average person kinda. Besides, i leave the fancy stuff to the professionals. when I'm on my ship i like my comfort food." it would only take a moment for the buckwheat noodles to become warm again. As the machine bleeped the woman opened the door and used the force to flat it to the small round table by the chair. "Careful its hot so i'd give it a moment or not. your choice." she said with a little sarcasm to keep the lightened mood.

The feline woman continued to make herself another cup of caf and realised she was beginning to run low. "Well after you have ate I will plot a course to home, how are you at dealing with the sun. I mean you are pretty pale, I've sun block if you need it. After all we don't need you looking like your blushing at everyone." She said with a slight giggle as she sired her drink then took a sip. "You might like Ancora, and if you like ships you will be able to see my flag ship. Its bigger than the only other city that's not the capital. The capital been nearly four kilometres."

 

[Ayhia Katar]

Ayhia followed the smaller woman to where she had prepared their food, she eyed the girls tail as they walked. Over all they woman seemed more human then feline, a fact Ayhia found odd. She deployed the right side of her visor, this time looking up any info on her race. It didn't take much to find about general info, but anything else was basically shrouded in mystery. She frowned as she found info that they were a sith creation, this brought her guard right back up. They were a Sith creation which meant she was in danger, how she had fooled her was interesting. She retracted the the visor and took a spot at where they were eating.​

​

Sanya gave a warning that the food was hot but that was exactly how Ayhia liked it hot, to many meals in her past had been... salvaged. Despite the info she had found she still felt she could trust her, perhaps it was her gut perhaps it was the force. Ayhia took a bite of her food only to nearly choke as the girl commented on her skin. Ayhia cleaned up and cleared her throat.​

​

"Oh ill be fine if i feel i am getting a burn i will go inside... though i fear your people will be to busy compairing my beauty to yours to worry about any blush" Ayhia smirked, "Though i feel i will have to duck or risk a concussion. though perhaps thats your plan... knock me senseless and have your way.... oh woe is me what am i to do." Ayhia smiled at the girl and feigned worry. "So... the the info i could find on your race has in short lead me to believe... its a creation of the sith... mind explaining?"​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Sanya would laugh at the girls strikes back but quickly well silent as that woman asked the question. Its one she had paid for, one many blamed Sanya for. Although it was far from the truth. "Regretfully yes we are and its hard to explain as I don't know everything myself although the Sith that made the Croa no longer has control over us. I can tell you that My wife was patient zero and she is the reason I'm a Croa too, I can tell you that the Croa was originally a virus that was passed on by scratches or fluids like saliva. Once the virus made contact with a new host the body would rapidly transition most humanoids and it applied to males or females. Over the years the Croa underwent its first evolution and the virus died out quickly as our bodies was able to bare a child. Croa was able to mate with each other and other humanoids. We are able to both impregnate and be pregnant. This is just the base line." she said trying to avoid letting out certain bits of information, like her actual involvement in the whole creation and even how she became queen.

"For the most part I was a witness the its development but not by choice. I was kept as a trophy for a long time the only reason I didn't try to run or even kill myself was because of the woman I love. If I was to escape she'd have been killed. So waited till I had the strength to protect us both. The Jedi made no attempt to rescue me, they branded me as an exile, a lost cause. That is why i hate the Jedi. instead of helping they washed it under the rug to avoid unnecessary conflict. like normal they left it to late and Darth Prealior got away with unleashing the virus onto three worlds. Rendili, A world in the outer rim that i cannot remember as she had me on sedatives, and Sekalus. Sekalus was destroyed in a supernova over a year ago and my people was relocated to Ancora." Still Sanya had control over the information. in a way she felt guilty doing so but Sanya didn't know this woman well enough to disclose everything.

 

[Ayhia Katar]

Ayhia listened quietly without interrupting Sanya as she explained how her race came to be, it sounded like something the sith would do... about as ill planned too. Ayhia's attention was rapt until the mention of a wife came up, where she pursed her lips and sat back, her entire body posture changing from playful to soldier. She was not one to break a home or anything even remotely close, now she was back to how she acted around superior officers. Before the end of the girls explanation she found a couple flaws with the girls explanation, she kept them to herself at first.​

​

"hmm painful history..." Ayhia's eyes were narrowed, she was no fool. "One thing though... you basically played pet to a Sith while still your original race and in the mean time you saw the creation of this virus right?" Ayhia set her utensil down and folded her arms in-front of her. "on top of that your wife was the first... and your people made you queen..." Ayhia had toppled governments base on less but either she was leaving out info... or she had lied to her people and they didn't know her involvement. "So either your a false idol or you have left stuff out. I have waged war against the Sith for most of my life, either through information or by direct action. I too was once a jedi, perhaps not a jedi as you know it but i learned of the Sith and their ways long before your grandparents were even alive. And based on that." Ayhia paused, one of her eyebrows were raised and her tone of voice cold. "I don't see how all of that adds up to you being queen, perhaps your race has some sort of alpha mentality but i don't feel that's quite true..." Ayhia let silence take the air.​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Sanya moved to sit down while the woman spoke. The part about playing Sith pet hurt, but it was true and she couldn't deny that. Although she stayed quiet thinking of how to say what she needed to next. It was a painful history and one she is trying to make right now. "Not the initial creation just it's development and my wife at the time was the ruler of Rendili the first world to be effected by the Croa virus, and to this day its where she spends most of her time. As you can imagine I barely get to see her anymore. Anyway it was my actions that lead to me been queen. Upon my transition I went unconscious and had a vision of a world that was suffering under the hands of one man. The force lead me to that world although I was followed by the Sith and her allies that had an armada. Even still I went about my mission and committed kinda regicide on the tyrant who was the previous ruler and claimed his thrown. These people used to worshipped the Sith as gods from your time and was the whole basis of their religion. That changed a while and the reaming of the black rose was purged or thrown off the world by my orders. So as you can imagine at first my rule was unquestioned for a while and the fact I was focused on improving their way of life. Also we once did have an alpha mentality although the evolution put a stop to that."

"Don't get me wrong. I have regrets sure. I should have tried to stop it but during the time I spent in the presence of that Sith I lost my self and my way for a while. I gave into my hate that the Jedi just abandoned me, I hated myself for been so pathetic that I let myself be captured the way I did." The longer the conversation went on the more agitated Sanya became as it brought back memories of her failure. The woman would drink her cup of caf all at once even though she only had enough to make one more cup. "Chit." Sanya said as she dropped her head down, teeth clenched together and heavy breathing as she tried to hold back tears. 'How could some stranger bring me to this point?' She thought. After a second the woman stood up with an expression that was a mix between anger, sadness and a hint of loneliness. "I'm going to get us on the move." Her voice sounded absent of emotion and slightly monotone as the girl walked past Ayhia and towards the cockpit.

 

[Ayhia Katar]

Ayhia showed no emotion, she had seen the rakghoul plague, how it had ripped entire planets apart. She sighed and stood up as the Sanya tried to walk past, stepping in front of the girl. She tried to sweep the girl in a hug, she had done the little feline a disservice. "I'm sorry... i have seen so much in my time that... well i learned that trust can kill..." She turned around and undid the front of her clothing letting her top drop, showing that huge scar on her back. "This scar was cause by Helia Zapori, a jedi i fell in love with... she turned sith and tried to kill me..." Ayhia closed her eyes.​

​

Ayhia's mind was filled with the Image of Helia, her eyes turned crimson and a lightsaber to match. Ayhia remembered the pain of the cut, she had refused to believe what she had been told and been betrayed. she remembered beating her, and the pain of having to kill her...​

​

"I have also dealt with Rakghoul's... been their as they destroyed entire planets..." Ayhia sighed, "lets go to your wifes planet you need someone right now." Ayhia had never felt more alone, everyone and everything she knew was gone, she didn't have to make others suffer though. "I have done you a disservice and i apologizes." Ayhia would turn to walk away herself, who was she now...​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Sanya stood there as the woman gave her a hug. Her arm came up around the lower part of Ayhia's back till she moved away. Of course Sanya listened to the woman and in a way she understood those feelings. Her first love was also a Jedi who turned sith. The only difference is Sanya never had to face Serephina, she didn't even know if the woman was still alive. She didn't even care enough to know either. Sanya was watching the woman turn her back and dropping the top that clung to Ayhia’s figure. Her hand would reach out close to touching the scar before she let her hand drop to her side once more. An another thing they had slightly in common, they both had felt with rakghouls but for different reasons.

As the girl suggested they went to rendili sanya could feel the same loneliness she felt. Actually it was far worse for the woman as everyone she knew was gone. Sanya was the first face she had seen. “You don't need to say sorry. I know my past painful and I try to hide it for the most part. Besides...” Her hand quickly reached for the girls wrist before she was out from her reach. With a small gentle tug Sanya would bring the woman closer. “I already have someone here.” Sanya's eyes met up with Ayhia’s for a moment as she moved slowly closer till her lips was pressed against the Echani’s.

 

[Ayhia Katar]

Ayhia was caught off guard by the girls actions, she was a married woman and here she was being. Ayhia didn't let the kiss last more then a few seconds before pushing away. She cleared her throat and pulled her top back up, taking a step back she hid her face which burned with embarrassment. Ayhia quickly disengage from the entire conversation and ran back to the room where she had woken up, how had this girl elicited this kind of intense emotion from her.​

​

"Stupid... you let your guard down and nearly made a mistake..." Ayhia didn't even know what could happen if she had over stepped in that big of a way. she sighed as she closed the door and stripped down tossing her cloths on the be she moved to the shower. She turned the water and and stepped into it. She was still very lost and now confused.​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

In some way Sanya wasn't surprised that the woman broke the kiss. In some way she knew it was something she shouldn't have done. Yet there was no immediate regret till the woman ran off. Sanya just stood there for a moment as she touched her lips. Before she knew it she could hear the sound of the water running from the shower. Slowly Sanya would walk to the room opening the door then went to the door that separated the bedroom and bathroom. Her back would lean against it as she slid down its surface till she was sat down. "I shouldn't have done that and I can't imagine what you feel, but I'm not sorry. Face it you wanted to kiss me but you didn't. Guess we are just all kinds of emotional huh?" She said soft but loudly that she could hear her. The words wasn't intended to make things better, if anything it was stating the obvious.

Sanya stood up and faced tolhe door again. "I'm coming in okay, I won't look." She said opening the door and closing it behind her so the steam remained in the room. At least now she didn't have to speak loudly. She'd move over to the sink and pushed her self up sitting on the rim. "Are you mad at me?" Sanya asked with the same soft voice.

 

[Aria Black]

Ayhia was just sitting under the water thinking about everything that had happened, she didn't know what to do. She sighed and sat down in the shower, crossing her arms over her knees and resting her chin on them. She never really paid much attention to time, she had always just told herself that she could do something later or that she was still young. Now here she was without anything, her friends and family where gone and turned to dust, yet she was still around by some curse.​

​

"time did indeed leave me behind didn't it."​

​

Ayhia sighed to herself, she had found the memory that had come back to her while she slept, a old Jedi master had visited her when she was a youngling. The aged woman had imparted Ayhia a gift, a lightsaber crystal, which was Ayhia most valuable item. A pontite crystal, something so rare most were reserved for Jedi masters, she remember holding it and feeling pure awe. Ayhia chuckled to herself, long over were the days where she considered herself anything close to a Jedi.​

​

Ayhia heard a dull thump against the door of the bathroom followed by Sanya's voice. "I shouldn't have done that and I can't imagine what you feel, but I'm not sorry. Face it you wanted to kiss me but you didn't. Guess we are just all kinds of emotional huh?" Ayhia didn't speak simply sat listening to the sound of the water as it came down on her head. The kriffing woman was married and just came on to her like that, she would not deny she was attracted but right now she was vulnerable. Who wouldn't be in the situation Ayhia was in, nobody would enjoy waking up and finding you that nothing you knew existed anymore. Ayhia opened her mouth to speak when Sanya spook once again. "I'm coming in okay, I won't look." The door opened and then closed, Ayhia could hear the girls footfalls as she moved further into the room. "Are you mad at me?"​

​

Ayhia chuckled again and shook her head, not that Sanya could see it. "More at myself then you..." Ayhia leaned back against the wall of the shower and stretched out her legs. "I believe i was warned about what was going to happen when i was a child. A old master came in the middle of the night and woke me, she told me time would leave me behind and that i would be fine..." Ayhia looked up into the stream of water, letting it run down her face. "She gave me a Pontite crystal... my lightsaber crystal... they are so rare they are usually only reserved for masters." Ayhia stood up opened the door for the shower, water spilled out. "And yes i did originally want to kiss you... then i found out you where married... i will not be the other... er... woman. I don't know what is driving you to seek someone else but i just... Your lucky... you have people whom love you still you should cherish them." Ayhia made up her mind, if this woman really wanted to do this she would not stop her. "If you still want me... join me..." Ayhia was glad she was under hot water right now, it hid her blushing face.​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Sanya listened to the girl and it was believable. Everything was driven by the wills of the force, some even able to predict things thorough visions and sanya experienced one before. "The force is unlimited and mysterious. It flows through us. Maybe your master saw your future leading you to this point, leading us..." Sanya paused as the door opened and she'd watch the steam flow out in a cloud. Then the woman spoke again. Her words made her feel a little guilty. Maybe a little ashamed, but Sanya knew how se was beginning to feel about Ayhia.

She'd slide off the sink with a smile as her face went red. "Ohh... I most certainly want you Ayhia." Her voice had excitement to it as her hands moved around her body and the clothes fell to the floor.

... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ...

 

[Ayhia Katar]

About one hour later​

​

Ayhia was first to wake, laying in the bed she had first awoken in, another warm body was next to her. She looked to find Sanya still asleep and Ayhia was gonna leave it that way. She rolled out of the bed very careful not to wake Sanya and got dressed. She moved out of the room and moved to the computer, where she started checking up on the state of the galaxy. She didn't have to do much searching to figure out how bad things were, multiple factions of sith and imperialists, she clicked her tongue and changed her subject. She looked up Sanya and anything she could find out, which basically confirmed what she had been already been told. She took a seat in a nearby chair and leaned back.​

​

"And i thought things in my time were kriffed up." Ayhia yawned and tapped the desk, She wondered how the galaxy had gotten in such a sorry state. What had happened to the good that she had known, the good that had once stood up against the evil. She sighed heavily, was she suppose to be here? and if so why? Ayhia was on person and not even a good person, she was a killer someone that took lives. Sure you could say she was on the side of good, but what it really was was her using evil to help the good, eventually the good would turn against her and she knew it.​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Sanya would scrunch the covers into her arms once Aria had snuck out. The woman was completely worn out will and had been awake for over a day catch up before catching up. Still it wouldn't take long for her to feel cold now she wasn't pressed against Ayhia's soft white skin. It had been a few since the echani woman woken up. With a small yawn Sanya would raise her arms stretching them. Everything in the room seemed blurry at first as she kept looking around and blinking. To took a moment but she could see right before standing to her feet and wrapping the sheets around her.

After all she had no intention to put dirty clothes on and all hers was the other side of the ship. The long black tail would flick out where the two ends of the sheet met as she walked. There was almost no sound to her steps, while making Ayhia jump crossed Sanya's mind she'd decide not to. "Morning beautiful. Sleep well?" She asked going up to the woman from behind. She'd bend down hugging Ayhia from behind and left a small kiss on the side of the Echani woman's neck followed by a warm smile. "We can set off soon if you'd like. I'm sure you miss feash air right?." Sanya said followed by a small giggle

 

[Ayhia Katar]

Ayhia instinctlly reached for her revolver when Sanya's arms wrapped around her, she quickly release it though as the feline pecked a kiss on her neck. Ayhia rolled her eyes again as the girl mentioned getting on the move, she resisted making a comment about having moved enough already. She closed down the computer and patted Sanya's arms. "yeah thats fine... just don't expect anything regal from me, I'm a soldier not a pet." She wanted to make it clear that she was going to be a pet or anything. "You said you wanted me and if you want me... you better do right." Ayhia pushed Sanya's hand off and spun in the chair, not unlike the holovid villains she had seen. "I don't mind a one night stand if thats what you want to call this but you seem intent on bringing me home with you..."​

​

Ayhia folded her arms and tapped her fingers on them, she studied the short feline girl. She didn't really see how royalty could be so alone, everyone want to be them, so they would never be alone. She stood up and booped Sanya on the nose then walked past, she wanted Sanya to think about what she was gonna do. Ayhia stopped at bit away, "If your gonna bring me home... I wont accept being just your side booty either you make good with me or drop me off at a port right now." She then moved to the cockpit and took a seat.​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Sanya smiled at Ayhia when she spoke and even squinted as the woman booped her nose, it was followed by a giggle. She looked at the woman in a way that her home was with Ayhia now. The feline woman was comfortable around someone for once. "I don't expect you to be anything you are not. I want you to be your self and I am intent to bring you home with me, not as a side booty but as my partner, my lover and more. Maybe my wife someday." She said watching the Echani woman walk to the cockpit. "Gonna get some actual clothes on." It would only have taken a moment as she slipped into her force user robes. Designed to look the part of queen but casual enough that she liked to wear them. Sanya took a seat in her usual spot. The padding on the seat looked as if it had a fair amount of use. The ship it's self was nearly three years old and many parts had been replaced. "The controls are the same as the original." She said with pride knowing Ayhia might see some familiarity in it. "Took a lot of research." She said with a smirk shaking her head.

Her hands would begin to move about the controls as she inputted the correct hyperspace route. In seconds the stars began to stretch into long white lines all focusing to one point. The jump its self would take nearly an hour so they had time to talk before setting down on the world. "Well my queen..." She said playfully teasing Ayhia. "We will be there soon. Ancora is still a relatively new colonised world. Almost a year ago now my people had to relocate before the sun went supernova. War can prepare you for a lot of things life throws at you, natural disaster isn't one of those not on that scale anyway."

 

[Ayhia Katar]

Ayhia didn't give any response more then a grunt in acknowledgement that she heard, she reached the cockpit and waited for Sanya to get dressed. She studied the layout of the controls of the ship, they were pretty close to what she remember with the main exception that they were backwards. She hear Sanya enter the room and she turned.

"The controls are the same as the original." Ayhia raised a eyebrow as the tailed woman continued "Took a lot of research."

Ayhia opened her mouth to mention that they were not correct but decided that she would let Sanya have her win. Ayhia took a seat in the co-pilots seat and started looking through the ships computer some more. She wouldn't really be needed for the flight, a ship of this class was often designed to be piloted solo.

"Well my queen..." Ayhia nearly choked as she hear Sanya call her queen, she spun on the girl as she continued about something else, which Ayhia didn't pay attention to.​

​

"Don't call me that... I am no Queen. I am a soldier through and though hardly material for a queen. Nor is someone like me fit to be royalty." Ayhia was not pleased at the thought of becoming somebody's queen or anything else like that.​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Sanya didn't mean to upset Ayhia by Playfully teasing. "I was just teasing you..." She said pausing to smile at the woman. "Honestly I'm not cut out for queen either, but it stuck... I guess. I don't like the title, but because I have it I feel obligated to do what I can to keep those people safe from war." She'd lean back in her seat fully as it squeeked a little. "I'm no politician nor am I one for the whole fancy get up. Damn, don't even attend most events and when I do I just try to find a quiet spot and get drunk to pass the time." No matter how one looked at it, the top was lonely. Especially to someone who wasn't born into it. After all Sanya was once a poor girl living on the streets of corellia.

Sanya would look at Ayhia once again. "When we get there I'll have to pass your ship to a transport to bring it down. If that's okay with you? I have a lot of components in my hanger and the tools to actually fix it up." The time passed quickly from there as they spoke about different things. As the freighter left hyperspace they'd be met with a purple glow of a distant nebula and the blue and green world below with a large space station that went around the entire planet. Upon approach Sanya would notify a transport ship owned by her company to pick the freighter up with instructions to take it to the Arx Luss. It wouldn't take much longer before they began their descent. The sun would shine through the window with serious heat, although they tinted so both Ayhia and Sanya wasn't blinded by it.

Construction could be seen on the edges while the most built up areas was by the beach front that had white sand and sparking blue water. They'd merge with the traffic for a moment on their way to the capital building that stood on a high peek two other building would be attached, one for the force useres of the people to come and learn how to use their abilityes in a safe environment and the other building was the diplomacy center filled with embassys. The two was heading to neither of those buildings but they'd probably visit them together at some point later on down the line. Instead they'd come into the hanger on the eighth floor. That took up most of that floor. The hanger was restricted by the public and could only be used by Sanya and her guard, and now Ayhia. They'd slow down to a stop as the ship entered the hanger and set down. "Well we are here." She said standing up and stretching her arms. "Up to you want us to do. Can head out or go up to where I live."

 

[Ayhia Katar]

Ayhia kept quiet for the most part until her ship was mentioned, "ill just get a new one that one is beyond repair but its got a lot of stuff on it that i would rather not lose." Ayhia tapped her foot and stood up, "I will have to find another but i will keep the IFF and computer systems... pretty sure your gonna want to look at those as most of that data is *legend* in this time." Ayhia wondered what was in store for her at this point, she had once been so sure of where she was in life and now.... now she couldn't even tell you is she was gonna be able to eat tomorrow. As for now she had to just wait to see what was in store.​

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

There was no response to her question just silence. "We can take some of your stuff up if you want. I don't have much stuff in my wardrobes so what clothes you do have we can put in there and I've plenty of space to put your other belongings. I will need to have security codes sorted out for you but this is home. As for your computer systems we can add it onto my personal one then we both can access? You'd have more of an up to date system and I'd be able to look into what your time was like. It's up to you though." Her voice came off as really soft. Maybe Ayhia didn't want to be here but Sanya couldn't tell. It had been one hell of a wake up into reality for her. Not only was it a strange time but she was also in a strange place. Ancora's information wasn't really known to the wider galaxy.

Sanya moved into the room the two had slept in, the one that Ayhia had put her stuff. The woman help by collecting a few of her things before leading their way off the ship. Everything inside was new, we'll almost. By her gunship was it's old engine's that was in bits. Further behind was Hull plating that had severe scorch marks and holes in. It was obvious signs of an aftermath of battle and the panels matched that of the freighter. "I thend to spend a lot of my free time in here. Messing around with ships, fixing them up. Most often repairing them. Good way to detach myself from everything I guess. Let's me zone out." The two quickly reached the elevator that opened up. It was big inside, enough to take twenty people at once. Although the elevator it's self was restricted to Sanya and her guards. The elevator would take them up to the top floor and they'd be met with the walls made of glass with a view out to everywhere. The floor it's self was the smallest of them all but it was perfect for the lounge. Sanya took a step out and turned to look at Echani woman with a smile. "Welcome home Ayhia."
