She wasn't going to make it, there was no chance that Lunara was ever going to make it to the city in time to get involved or to help protect the Viceroyalty. The young woman could close her eyes, could look out of the window and see another world another city. A city she'd been too late to save, where flames and darkness had consumed it, left a proud people struggling to survive and rebuild. She could have been there, stopped that before it happened and saved her people, saved all those lives and heartache.
But no, she'd wanted to see the galaxy, to explore the force traditions out there and had been too far away when the darkness fell. She'd come rushing back as soon as she could but it had been too late and she'd only arrived in time to pick up the pieces and sort through the ashes. She'd been unable to meet the eyes of the people she'd failed, to see their accusing stares, and so she'd run.
Run as far as she could, leaving her old life as far behind her as she could, looking for something to believe in, something she could do to alleviate the guilt that threatened to overwhelm her, that chased her with every moment.
No other cities would burn if she could help it, no more innocents would suffer.
A resolute look settled over the white-haired sorceresses face as she turned, heading away from the chamber where the Viceroyalty were in danger, where all the forces of the Confederacy were congregating. Even if she tried to make it, she might only arrive in time to pick up the pieces, to pick up the ashes again.
But, there were other things she could do, a way to help out that didn't require her to race to the scene, to struggle with the others to protect the politicians, a task for which she was incredibly ill-prepared. She'd always thought that it was important to know your weaknesses, to at least acknowledge them to yourself, even if you put on a good face to the rest of the world. Physical combat wasn't where she excelled, it had never been her strength.
Lunara's hurried footsteps had carried her deeper into the city, carrying her up the stairs to the headquarters of the Knights Obsidian, through the corridors that were so familiar to those mediation rooms nestled at the heart of the building. Settling down onto the floor the woman closed her eyes, taking a deep calming breath for a moment before she let the breath flow out of her body carrying her consciousness with it, out into the sea of light that surrounded her, that flowed over the whole planet.
From here, connected like this Lunara could see, could feel all those little eddies that were the people populating the city, each of them affecting the sea in their own way. She knew she could reach down to an eddy, to sense the person behind it but that's not what she was after. The woman's mind shot through the sea, like a dolphin, utterly at home in her element as she closed in on the chamber, hovering above it as she saw all those people, some of them familiar, some unfamiliar.
A smile touched Lunara's lips as she reached out with her mind, gathering all the CIS members she knew in one hand, those intruders she could sense in the other. That smile turned decidedly more predatory as she sat there, her face utterly calm except for that. This was something she'd done before, practised again and again.
With one hand she reached out to her allies to boost them through the force, filling them with confidence and stamina, with the prowess they'd need for the upcoming fight. Pulling them into a collective, into that unity that let them react as one, to this threat. To her enemies though, those who had brought fire and danger into the heart of her new home the opposite, pulling the confidence and prowess from their bodies and minds, leaving them vulnerable to those voices, that whispered in the back of their minds, those voices that were at the back of everyone's mind.
