Title: Ghosts of the Temple Ruins
Ayanna Nyx - January 16, 2008 10:57 PM (GMT)
Alia did not wait, and instead ran straight towards the Temple Ruins, despite the danger that she knew lurked there. She ran as fast as she could, hoping that Zen would be able to keep a track of her. As they neared the Temple, she slowed down, now this was going to be difficult, and she knew it all too well. It was open to everything and there was no way to hide or seek cover until reaching the Temple itself. She stopped to think for a moment, what would be best? To walk slowly and risk more chance of being seen? Or run for it, but if seen causing more suspicion. She shook her head in annoyance and just decided to make a run for it. As she finally reached the entrance, pinning herself to the wall as she waited for Zen and also to hear if they had been spotted. She waited a good few minutes, and as nothing was sounded, she took a sigh of relief.
"N.... Never again!" She panted from the running, "She's here.... Somewhere.... I can feel her..... I don't like this.... This place is..... Creepy..... Nothing like how I remember it and yet..... Just like it was..... If that makes sense....." She said as she walked slowly further into the Temple, looking around at the structure she remembered so much from her youth.

He smiled"I get what you mean", he then became more serious "I sense her to, i will follow your lead". Now pretty much out of site he did not hesitate to draw his lightsaber, he did not ignite it, but holding it made him feel ALOT more secure.
"Where should we look?, i feel her but i can not pin point where she is".
The heavy marching of the boots of a Stormtrooper patrol could be heard, they where coming closer, "We need to hide".
He said, starting to become extremely nervous, even with the force on their side, the odds where not good.

She pulled to him, "This way quick!" They sneakily clung to the shadows on the walls as she tried to reach the stairs. She was wanting to get to the library on the floors below. They could hear the footsteps coming ever closer, "Great.... This is all we need....... We have to get to the library.... Will be a goldmine down there...... And yeah... Of course Master Lamya too......." She whsipered.

Zen pinned himself to the wall, He chose to ignore her choice of treasures over Lamya, "The only things that will be there will be the computers, everything else would of been destroyed or stored away".
He peered around a corner, he was lucky as he could see the trooper patrol, but they had their backs to him.
He had the Lightsaber clutched within one hand and his other was holding the hilt of his Vibrosword.
We should get to the library, he said to Alia, again you lead, i do not know my way around here.
They had crept around for a few minutes when Zen came to a sudden stop, "Alia, i must ask you... This place, does it not affect you, i feel every feeling here but i also feel a huge amount of death, its saddening, the bodies are proof, i-i just did not expect this amount of death, its draining".
He felt sick, he grabbed his stomach, ready to vomit, but it did not happen, he used his healing powers to stop it.
"I feel her" he said, suddenly feeling the presence of Lamya, "She is here, no doubt she feels us".
He looked to Alia, he pulled his Vibrosword from its holster and then ignited his Lightsaber, "I do not feel safe here".
(OOC: Is it possible to modify the training l/s into a real l/s? or do i need to build one from scratch???)

"Come this way..... The Masters always kept certain computers hidden.... Perhaps we can find one of those......" She said as she ran down some stairs into the darkened halls. She listened carefully as she heard the footsteps of the stormtroopers above, but she knew it was likely that it was just a regular patrol, but it didn't mean they would be any less cautious.
"Woooow....." She spoke as they walked into the ruins of the library, still destroyed and left untouched since Order 66, the lightsaber and blaster scars were still clear on the walls and on the items that lay around, "My god...... I never thought......" She said as she became a little silent, "Where is she....... What does she think she's doing?!" She said frustrated that their master would come to such a place.
OOC: Well skills are based on moves your character attempts and how good they turn out, then you can add to them. Or of course, if you ask to be taught a particular skill, then it will be added.

He disengaged his lightsaber, he still held onto his sword though. "Whats wrong? he asked, "Whats she done?".
He was not sure what was going on, he also had no clue as to why she was so shocked, she did not answer, "Alia?" he said.
He did not like her sudden attitude change, he had not seen her like this before...
Ayanna Nyx - January 19, 2008 04:15 PM (GMT)
"This place is a graveyard...... Nothing but the Dark Side remains here..... Why would she willingly come all the way here..... Risk danger.... Risk putting us in danger...... For this?....... Old scars..... The dust of Jedi bones on the ground...... Why would she do that?....." She said confused.
"Because I wanted to see if you could both do it....." Lamya spoke as she came from out of the shadows, "You both risked great threat to get here..... You proved to be great in speed and stealth..... Skills that are very important, especially in the times we live in...... I'm sorry if I worried you, but I had to know....... And also, there is more here to be learned and sought after...... Alia, you spoke of Masters keeping some terminals and computers hidden, you are right...... And I found one here, though the strange thing was, that it had already been disturbed, and only in the last few months...... An old friend of mine was here...... Kreio...... Who'd have thought that he lived so long, though he was injured here..... I just hope he is alright..... Perhaps we will find him in time......" She turned and looked to Zen, "I'm sorry that you could not have experienced what it was like to be a Jedi in the days of the Old Republic....... It was truly a time of light...... But the clouds were descending upon us so quickly, we did not know what to do....." She said as she looked around at the library, remembering how it used to be, and how devastated it now was.
Suddenly a familiar voice was sounding in Lamya's ears,
"Yes.... The Temple was beautiful in those days..... Lamya" The Jedi spoke.
Lamya could not help but smile to her fellow Jedi, who seemed to stand with his new pupil, "Solon...... It has been a long time..... Though I fear we cannot stand around here and reminis about the old days..... We are in danger being here..... All of us..... These are my pupils...... Zen and Alia....."
Alia gave a slight nod to the Jedi and the man he was with.
"Two pupils Lamya? These certainly are desperate times aren't they...... This is my padawan Taves....." The Jedi said as he introduced him.
Lamya merely nodded, "We should leave..... We already have a safe house, hopefully it will live up to that name......"
OOC: Zen, add 'Lv.2 Force Speed' and 'Lv.1 Force Stealth' to your Force abilities. ;)
Taves Sarfell - January 19, 2008 08:13 PM (GMT)
Taves turned to his fellow apprentices, Zen and Alia, and gave a slight bow. "My name is Taves Sarfell it is an honor to meet some more Jedi." Taves could hardly believe this situation. He thought he had been fortunate to have found his master, but now he was in the presence of not only another master but two fellow learners in the Force. He could barely believe how fortunate he had become. Perhaps his new friends could teach him a few skills here and there.
Olly2007 - January 20, 2008 12:40 AM (GMT)
Zen could hardly believe his luck, He bowed to the new master and then to his fellow apprentice, "It is an honor to meet you Taves, I am Zen-Tak Low. Please call me Zen, I hope we can learn a great deal form each other, i am learning in the ways of the Jedi Healer".
He placed his sword back in its hilt, the unfamiliar and odd feelings he felt must of been the presence of the other Jedi.
He heard Lamya mention the hideout, "Masters, would there not be another planet we could go to, away from the empire, somewhere known for the Jedi, the Empire would not expect us to be there, we could hide away within an ancient Jedi temple, i know of at least two, but i do not know if either still stands, In the tales my Ithorian foster parents used to tell me about the Jedi Exile in the old republic, he visited an academy on Telos IV and an Enclave on Dantooine, do none of these still stand?".
He hoped either did, he had finally become a Jedi, he was proud of himself and the other padawans, he thought finding a Jedi temple would make things even better, they could rebuild the ruined order.
Taves Sarfell - January 20, 2008 12:52 AM (GMT)
Zen's last words on the Jedi Academy that he said was located on Dantooine caught Taves like a blaster bolt in the heart. "We have just returned from Dantooine. We weren't able to find a Jedi Temple. We were only just able to visit the Crystal Caverns before my master felt your presence" he said motioning toward Lamaya. "We even have a ship that could easily take us all there."
Taves hadn't truly actively thought of the Will of the Force, but the events that had come to pass in the last few days seemed like undeniable proof that it had been governing their actions throughout the last few days. Now all that remained was to see where it led them next. However although it all seemed like the Force had a plan Taves felt it better not to try and leave the moment.
Ayanna Nyx - January 20, 2008 01:24 AM (GMT)
Solon spoke first,
"I don't think going back to Dantooine would be a wise choice..... We have to be very careful.... A group of the five of us..... It's dangerous......"
"There's something else Solon.....Kreio..... He was here....." Lamya spoke.
"Kreio? I thought for sure he would be dead by now....." Solon said a little surprised.
"I can assure you he's not..... He was here, not long ago.... But I don't know what happened to him..... There's no evidence....." Lamya spoke a little disappointed.
"Well, we can not look for him..... Not now.... Too much is at stake..... I suggest we either go to Naboo...... Or Tatooine....." He said as he looked back to the three padawans who stood there silently for a moment.
Alia looked to Zen and Taves, "Geez.... This feels just like school..." She said in a sarcastic tone.
"But why those two planets?......." Lamya asked confused.
"I think we should visit both..... For different reasons..... Naboo, the Queen is said to have helped Jedi before..... And Tatooine..... I have reason to believe that...... The Negotiator is there......" He said, speaking a little quietly.
"You mean?......" Lamya said surprised, but did not continue.
Solon simply nodded then looked to the pupils, "Well, you now have a choice..... Naboo.... Or Tatooine first......"
Alia spoke up, "Oh geez must we go to Tatooine? I flew through there once, I'd like it to be a once only experience..... Nothing there but sand......"
"We SHALL go to both.... But the three of you will need to decide which we shall go to first......" He said sharply.
"Pffff, well I say Naboo.... Blast, I really liked Coruscant as well...." Alia said in a bit of a mood.
Solon then looked to Zen and Taves, "Well? You both must decide......"
Olly2007 - January 20, 2008 01:36 AM (GMT)
"We should go to Naboo" Zen said without hesitation, "If the Queen does aid Jedi then she may know the location of others".
He felt excited to be visiting Naboo, well if that was where they went first, he loved the forest and was looking forward to the massive jungles on the planet.
Taves Sarfell - January 20, 2008 01:51 AM (GMT)
Taves hadn't thought one way or another where he wanted to go, but he had a felling that he had heard the title 'The Negotiator' before. However no matter how much the prospect of going back to the burning deserts of Tatooine intrigued him it seemed he was out voted.
"As long as we can find a place to be long enough for me to make use of this" he said as he pulled out the first green crystal he had found in the caves on Dantooine. "I'll be fine. The only question I have is how we are going to get to Naboo? Are we going to use our ship or do you also have transport."
The thought of going anywhere with a group of Jedi this big made Taves happy as well as the slightest bit nervous and paranoid about being caught.
Ayanna Nyx - January 20, 2008 02:00 AM (GMT)
"I think it's safe we acquire something else.... We will sell the ship we have, Taves.... And buy something more suitable for the five of us...... Lamya, if you also have a ship, I would sell it also....." Solon spoke as he began to lead them from the Temple Ruins.
"But one thing, Naboo..... If we go there, how would we gain an audience with the Queen? She will be under complete protection..... It would be dangerous....." Lamya spoke.
"Everything is dangerous for a Jedi in this galaxy..... While we are surrounded by darkness, we will be in danger..... But we cannot become lost in the shadows...... We must surface...... I am keen to learn more about Bail Organa..... And his Alliance..... He has been wise to keep it so well hidden that he is involved.... Only a few Jedi were ever aware of this..... But I have reason to believe that the Senator of Naboo, Pooja Naberrie, is a friend of his..... If we can gain contact with him, we would not only be in a safer position, we would be able to help rid this galaxy of the Empire!" He said determined.
"Alright, I trust you know what you are doing..... Come along then, Alia, Zen, we will return to the safe house and gather our things...... When shall we meet you Master Solon?" She asked.
"Meet in two hours at Westport, Taves and I will have acquired a transport by then...... Be careful....." He warned her as they readied to split up.

((Im not actually sure what to reply lol, shall i just continue in westport?))
Taves Sarfell - January 21, 2008 12:13 AM (GMT)
I would. Frankly I'd just rather you arrive and Taves and his master have the ships sold and a new one has been bought. Otherwise I'd have to write, what in my opinion would be a rather superfluous post about selling the ships etc. I'll just meet you at Westport.
