Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

She had been putting this off for a good while now, and it had almost slipped her mind, but speaking with Tethys earlier had reminded her of the kyber crystal they had found at the Blackguard stronghold.

Sitting down on the floor with her legs crossed, Kat placed the green lightsaber crystal in front of her, and tried to focus on it as she began a meditative trance.

OOC: Roll Force.

D7 ME Force roll: 2eF 1 Light Side, 2 Dark Side

OOC: Spending that light pip?

OOC: yes. Spending Light but not Dark. sorry for being unclear!

After concentrating a form slowly manifests in front of her, manifesting from the Force, it was transparent, but human. Her eyes were closed as she said, “There is no Death, there is only the Force.”

She opened her eyes and said, “Time and space are transitory fabrics, but the Jedi endure.”

"There is no death, only the Force," she echoed and bowed her head in greeting.

"Through hardships, we endure. I am Katarzyna Ulgo, Jedi Knight. I saw you in the Force and found your remains," she explained calmly. "What happened back then, if I may ask?"

“Then is now for me, even now feels like then,” she said cryptically. “It was a war, a war for control of Alderaan, I don’t know who won I was not attached to victory only trying to protect those caught in the crossfire and fighting any form obvious tyranny or suffering. It is my sincere hope that Alderaan found peace in the intervening time.”

“Oh, I am Jedi Knight Vura Kix.”

"It has found peace, yes. The Black Circle that was with you disapppeared, and new ones have recently taken up the mantle."

Kat held onto the connection they now had as she maintained her concentration. "Alderaan's peace is threatened again now, by outside forces manipulating the Houses' distrust against one another. But I understand when you fought, it was against a corrupt king?"

“They were a warlord that bound people and Houses to them through guile and violence. Hungry with ambition, they only knew violence. We had to stand against this, it was a dark time, and the noble families were on constant conflict, often through war and violence,” she admitted.

"The Jedi stand against tyrants." That sounded quite unpleasant with eerie parallels to today.

"What was their name, do you remember?"

She had to think and then said, "High King Riordan Organa, yes that was the name."

She nodded, reminding herself to check out that name another time. "Thank you. Your lightsaber's crystal was the only belonging we found from you... do you want us to return it to the Order?"

"If possible, perhaps it can help guide another like it did for me," she said kindly.

"Another... perhaps the Blackguard?" she said, sharing her thoughts with the woman. "You fought beside them. They were... also standing up, against this tyrant?"

"I would be amenable to that, it is no longer for me," she admitted.

A nod.

"The Blackguard whom you fought alongside with, what were they like? Their order disappeared, and has returned to Alderaan again now, centuries later. Myself, and the other Jedi, are still feeling them out to understand them better."

“They were not well understood, and I was sent to investigate them, they have a certain nobility, but their methods were not always in alignment with Jedi principles. They were heroes or considered themselves as such who were willing to be monsters to their enemies for the greater good. I did not fully understand it but I did see their heroism and dedication to aiding others. If that is what they are now then they are worthy of the name,” she responded.

"I see. Thank you. Your insight is appriciated, Vura Kix. I have no further questions." Kat smiled to the spectre and bowed respectfully to her fellow Knight.

"May the Force be with you, Jedi Knight Ulgo, no Jedi truly stands alone," she said as she faded.
