Watch had been predictably dull. Rane spent the necessary four hours doing a combination of flipping through holonet news stories and staring out at the barren dust fields; in the year since the Rangers arrived on planet, it had been nothing but staring at the decayed husk still considered a...
“I'm not really sure how to measure that.” She removed the blanket from on top of her as Volken prepped himself to move out. Rouslyn decided to follow suit; she swallowed the last bite of her jerky, exchanging the now empty rag with a small maintenance kit for her sword from within her pack. The...
“You're concentrating the Force in your hand.” Rouslyn cocked her head as she studied Leonatas’s increasing energy, “It’s very bright.”
Despite Rouslyn’s lifelong use of Force Sight, it remained unrefined. She could detect obvious changes in someone’s energy, such as Leonatas's aforementioned...
Rouslyn shrugged, “I used to believe in them, when I was a kid. I remember sneaking out with my sister on clear nights trying to find them. You always try looking for things that aren't there when you're a kid; something that could take you to some mystical, far off place.” She rubbed her hands...
“That’s very reassuring to hear, Empress. ‘Specially since I've been struggling to grasp certain concepts of the Force and how it relates to the Father.” Rouslyn bit her lower lip as she struggled to word her next sentence carefully, “The Church's ways are very foreign to me; I'm sure Lord...
"I fight my own battles," Rouslyn stated simply. "If you were to help me, it wouldn't be on a battlefield..." Despite her precaution and multiple attempts towards allowing this man into her personal crusade, something tugged at her mind to stick close to Ahzek. Was it her regressed feelings of...
Ruination! The Republic, once a bastion for peace, has rotted from the inside. Now ruled by the Emperor, the Republic was mutated into the Galactic Empire. It has been four years since the galaxy had been dominated by the Sith.
However, the Dark Side has yet to corrupt everything; pockets of...
“Pleasant? No, definitely not. It wasn't surprising either,” Rouslyn admitted. “Uncle Edwin was always a twitchy guy. He probably almost had a heart attack once he heard the Order was beginning to threaten the status quo.”
All of Rouslyn’s interactions with her Uncle had been through a veil...
“Rouslyn Tiberium, Squire to Marshall Belisarion, and Knight in training,” this was the first time she had referred to herself as such. She was proud to hold a formal identity again after so long. The first thing they try to beat into you after becoming a slave is to forget who you are, and...
Unfortunately for the young woman, she hadn't been able to catch any moments of sleep before the arrival of the Empress. While she had never personally interacted with Helin, Rouslyn had a mild distaste for the woman; through her time spent alongside her Lord, she had picked up on Leonatas's...
Rouslyn had actually been on the verge of falling back asleep when she heard someone approach her camping area. The sound and heat of an invigorated fire caused her to tune in fully to the surroundings. Force Sight told her that she had been joined by another Paladin of the Order, one which she...
Rouslyn felt the joy that she had towards training slowly leak away as Leonatas scolded her. At first, she gained a look akin to fear before she lowered her head in hopes of making herself feel smaller and less vulnerable. Rouslyn didn't need to see the exact details of Leonatas’s face to tell...
Deep within the forests, far from the home of the Paladins on Adumar, Cartann City, a handful of tiny, fiery beings danced in the early dawn. This was where the band of fully armed men women, and others made camp just the night before after her day-long trek.
Sat before one of the fires...
