Chapter 13 Rosh                     I walked down the hallway, trying my best not to buzz with excitement. I can’t believe that worked!                     Ever since Rael slipped out of our little question games, I had been trying to think of a way to get him a way to ask a question. I knew he was a healer when he was able to fix Artemis’ welt rapidly and with ease. That meant he would be interested in anatomy and by extension how well and how long Lithea’s recovery should have gone. And when he heard that she was already walking around and jumping up to the roof, of course he would as how.                     That mea

Chapter 1 The song ended, the last husky notes from the medicine man unlocked everybody’s concentration and rigid posture. There were a few groans as muscles and joints popped and stretched from being in the same position the entire night. This kind of ceremony last two days and goes all the way through the 2nd night until it finishes on the third morning. I checked my watch, an old one that had been given to me by grandfather, the flaring light from the wood stove played across the dial that read 5:15. Shit. I got up and shook the medicine man’s hand, “Sorry, but I have to go. I’m gonna be late for school. If you

Artemis         I walked back to my quarters absolutely exhausted, apparently influencing an entire planet takes a lot out of you. I fell on the bed and stared at the window beyond the foot of my bed where the sun shone through. I had worked hard to fight the natural instinct to stay awake at night. I groaned mentally as I fell asleep, because correcting the issue of getting back on the wagon of being awake during the day was going to be quite tiresome.         I woke up, instantly refreshed and more awake than usual. I glanced out of the window to see the moons of Yavin high in the sky. I needed to go outside, the walls reminded me of ca

Artemis The rocks kept falling and battering our Force shield. But it didn’t seem to affect it that much, I wondered why. Usually this would have been nearly impossible. Rosh noticed it too, we looked at each other in confusion. Then as one, we turned to look at Rael who still had his dumb grin as he stared at me. “Do you get what’s going on?” I muttered sideways to Rosh. “Nope.” She replied the same way, neither of us taking our eyes off of Rael. “Theories?” I asked again. “Well, he already is very strong in the Force. Maybe he’s so happy and love sick that it’s pouring

Artemis          My song cleared up the cloying feeling of the tunnel, it wasn’t so dark anymore but not exactly cheery. I finished the last note, a long one that I felt the earth shake at, while trying not to laugh at Rael’s stare of “Why-Didn’t-You-Do-That-Earlier”.          I waited as I felt Rael and Rosh running towards me.          I opened my eyes, satisfied. CRACK! I jumped a foot in the air, my heart pounding, I looked at the source. There was crack on the side of the wall, surrounding a slab of rock that looked ready to fall off.          Just then, Rosh bounded into sight, her lekku twitching. I t

Rael         I focused on the humming, and suddenly I could hear Artemis’ voice in my head. Calm, Rael, this isn’t real.         Like hell it wasn’t, Artemis’ body lay rotting behind me and his killer in front of me while I tried to keep from killing him.         Rael, listen to me.         No! You are dead, I saw you! The images of him flashed through my mind, his throat slit, his skin flaking off, and the smell of death.         That isn’t me I am here. The humming grew louder, images came into my head of meditating, of making me laugh, of reading my gaze like a book, of celebrating when he had a breakthr

                The sun had just risen enough so that only a faint white line was visible above the snowcapped mountains in the east, when the hunter began donning his winter clothes. It was the coldest winter to date and his entire village was swaddled in every rag that they could find. But he was not so lucky, but he did not mind. The Hunter was the greatest one in his entire village and the idea of The Hunter braving the cold only in minimal amount of clothes, appealed to him greatly. He still lay upon this thought and other ways to enhance his image so he could take his pick of the village’s girls, even as he tested his bow string a

                                Artemis’ view          The walls were following me as I kept walking into the cave. It spooked me, but I had nowhere else to go. My eyes were made for this kind of light, it was as clear as day to me. I had called for the others but they weren’t here. I trusted them, they could hold their own in a fight.          Yet, the tunnel made me extremely nervous. My stomach quivered with fear and adrenaline despite my attempts to stop it. There was just something about this place that I hated. I tried to use my breathing techniques but something kept making me mess up. For some reason, memories kept comi

Rael      I walked around feeling the blocked off walls. I felt a disturbance in the Force, I turned to find Artemis, only to find myself alone. If it had just been me, I wouldn't have been so worried. But with Artemis somewhere in this dark cave, I was quietly freaking out. I thought back to the first time I saw him, back when I was first brought to the Academy maybe when I was 13.      He was the most amazing fighter I had ever seen. And I came from a planet whose inhabitants prided themselves on their ability to fight. My parents loved me, but when they saw my talents were elsewhere than fighting, they were more willing to let the Jedi
