Deciding that a big hug and a kiss were not going to be Drast’s standard welcome for all his guests, Rah’la felt it was safe enough to approach to at least within arm’s length of the young man. Though his refusal to come off with his secrets when it came to gaining more living space was hardly...
Sinking deeper into the stream of the force, she moved through the forest as if she were part of it rather than at war this time. The Woolamanders, for the most part, seemed to find her unobjectionable as though the previous incident had not occurred. It wasn’t something of which Rah’la took...
Rah’la did not linger within the chamber with the dead guardians, though the touch of Fonwim’s hand upon her shoulder did, accompanying her while she descended the steps toward what lay beyond. Though there were massive doors sealing the chamber, she was soon to see, the waves of the Darkside...
It was a bit of an adjustment, Rah’la decided, but one she should welcome. After all, being part of an enclave of Jedi was exciting and she really wasn’t the ‘loner’ type. Even so there was an air of competition among the other Padawans, and the Knights too since she was being honest with...
As Dex answered all their questions she had to wonder what was the real reason off world assistance had been called for to find the girl. By all accounts she was a nobody, not a senator’s daughter, nor a government official, not even a wealthy merchant. There had been no ransom note as in the...
Rah’la knew that one of the allures the dark side had was in manipulating truths to uphold its own ends. A person didn’t have to spread lies in order to warp the minds and hearts of those their message touched; justification and rationalizations could convince the most saintly of adherents to...
Shaking her head at the man she said, ”I am no one’s mistress, but I did mistakenly think you were being held in slavery. I’m sorry and will leave you to your business; clearly you need no rescuing.” He was a good actor, she had to give him that; he actually had her doubting that she had sensed...
Speculation being what it was, a person had to react to what actually occurred, not what they expected. Thus her plan to launch into the air with his forearm as a brace was instantly abandoned the moment he didn’t slash down at her from his initial stance. Gone was the extended overreach, the...
Unlike Crix, who was obviously bored, Rah’la didn’t so swiftly dismiss the bronze statues but paused to read the placard before each while letting the tour group get further and further ahead. Her other companion, Master Fonwim was also unimpressed. She knew he had an aversion to the planet to...
Swoop racing wasn’t something she had really experienced in person, though she had watched recording and couldn’t imagine willingly participating in such a dangerous sport. Half the swoop racers looked like they were held together by a wish and a prayer and there didn’t seem to be any rules...
Rah’la saw that the other Padawans had navigated the falling ceiling better than herself. Even so she had lived long enough to get back to her feet; her position was now slightly to the rear of Master Fonwim. Her right arm twitched as she experienced a strange mixture of pain and numbness yet...
It had been rough rotation this last cycle and she had the feeling that the risks would only be increasing as she grew in skill; that much was to be expected. What had surprised her, however, was that Master Fonwim was not accompanying her on this investigation concerning the missing person’s...
She found his banter to be slightly telling in that it came off as more flourish than substance. Either his family members were dead as stated and it had been long enough ago not to be such an open wound or it was a fabrication entirely in order to cause her to falter in resolve. Either way, it...
Rah’la sat in seiza before the holoprojector staring at the image of her mother transmitting from the coral garden outside the front archway to their aquatic home, her head tresses free to aid in communicating her feelings about every word she spoke to her daughter as they performed subtle...
