Rowa woke the the sun of Naboo shinning through the cockpit view ports of the Raza. Dolworth decided to let him sleep in the spare bunk he had on the ship until they figured out what to do with him. To Rowa's surprise the bunk was far more comfortable than the one on the Raven. He yawned as he noticed that Dol's bunk was already made and he was nowhere to be found. He stretched his body a little more as began making his way to the hatch. He climbed out of the ship and into an air that smelled of fresh morning dew and damp coolness. It felt fresh, clean, cool...peaceful. His heart began to slow more, not too dangerously, but to a far more serene pace than he was used to. It was rather comforting as Rowa watched the various cooking fires used in last nights large dinner being restarted by a few other Mandalorians who stirred with the dawn. It was apparently breakfast time as Rowa found Dolworth cooking something that to his surprised smelled amazing.

"Ah! You're up already lad?!" spat Dolworth as he gave a quick glance before turning back to what he was cooking, "Give me a hand, I need you to grab some of those dried meats in the sack!" he instructed.

Rowa looked over and saw the bag. He reached over and opened the sack to the smell of heavily spiced and dried meat products inside as Dolworth kept cooking what appeared to be eggs of some sort that had been lightly seasoned. After a bit more he instructed Rowa to throw a bit of the chipped meat into the eggs as Dol continued to cook. The food became lively as he added just a small bit of his hot sauce to the mix before plating a little bit of it up for some hungry Vod.

"So...How long before we can go get my droid?" asked Rowa. He had been thinking of ONI for the last day or so. He had begun to worry that the poor little thing assumed Rowa had abandoned him or even the poor Droid had his memory wiped and sold off once more. The thought made Rowa's stomach crawl as he tried in vain to eat a plate of the food offered up to him by Dol, "I know where they took him. I just got to get there before-"

"Just relax lad!" retorted Dolworth, "We'll get em, don't you worry about that!" he continued with a smirk, "But there is one thing I want to know before I even think of going after just one little droid" he said not noticing Adenn coming up behind him, "What is so important about em? And don't just tell me its just because he's the only friend you got in this giant ass Galaxy?"

Rowa gave a sigh as he watched Adenn sit down next to Dolworth, the two Mandalorians looking for a damn good explanation as to what was so important for Rowa to get this little droid.

"He's more than just my friend." he said as he looked away embarassed, "There is another reason"

"And?" asked Dolworth.

"ONI has recordings from my childhood, when I was actually being a kid and not some weapon for Xerxes" he spat as he felt venom on his lips whenever he uttered the sith's name, "He also has...schematics" he said looking at the two, "As in Lightsaber schematics." he said, "I know I know, they are not the way of Mandalorians or whatever but I was raised to use them. I am good with those weapons compared to others and honestly, with mine and my kyber crystal taken from me I feel...Naked" he explained.

"You forgot an important tenet of our people" retorted Dol, "Weapons are part of our religion. Lightsabers are weapons, and if it is a part of you then at least I shall do what i can to make you whole again" assured Dolworth, his smirk spread across his face as Rowa looked up a bit surprised but ultimately a soft smile came to him as well...

"L-Lightsaber schematics!?"
I nearly choked on my eggs and slammed my fists down on the table trying to force the food down my throat.
"do you- do you have any idea how much this droid now means to my people? the schematics to a lightsaber is something we haven't had for 5500 years, boy! this.. this is sign!"
I lept up from my chair in religious fervor and reached into my pack to retrieve a religious text, turning it almost by instinct to the correct page. I didnt need to see it, I had known the passage it from my youth.
"When the light of Besk'in glows, so will come the dawn of her people. she will burn like the light of a new sun and guard the Mand'alor promised, whose kingdom shall know no boundary and whose prosperity will have no end!"
I closed the text and composed myself again, but the smile on my face began to make my face hurt.

Talon glanced sideways at Adenn, wondering why he was so excited about having access to the schematics of a strange weapon--the weapon of evil sorcerers, at that. Who gave a kriff about lightsabers? They killed. Denied the laws of physics. Deflected blaster bolts right back at people like some sort of targeting system--but only certain people could do it.

He shrugged and stayed silent in his seat aboard the Raza, not wanting to say anything and not having anything to say. He was still confused about how to feel about this Rowa character, and he didn't even like being in the same vicinity with him. He still hadn't gotten back on normal terms with his vods after their disagreement; everything was just awkward.

His emotions, ideals, beliefs were all a blur, a hurricane, and it was completely morphing his personality from a headstrong and outspoken warrior to...a silent, moody assassin. Oh, hell--he'd make the most of the situation and see if he can help some vods along the way.

Rowa jolted back a bit as the one called Adenn got excited, quoting some scripture that Rowa had never even heard about. He couldn't help but look at Dolworth who in turn was giving a sincere smile to the both of his vods.

"His clan are one of the rare few Mandalorians who embraced what I call the Will of the gods" he explained, "Or as the Jetti call it the Force" he finished.

Rowa, and even Adenn and maybe even Talon couldn't help but stare at his statement. Dolworth couldn't help but chuckle as he shoveled some food down his gullet, "I've lived a good long live Vode, and I've lived long enough to study the histories of our people. I'm a man of action...I'm a man of honor...but I'm also a man of thinking" he stated, "I've thought long and hard about it when it came to the topic of Jetti and their sorcery. They have this power...Their mortal enemies the DarJetti have it...hell even Tare Vizsla, one of the greatest Mand'alors to ever lead our people was a Jetti...or rather a Vod who was gifted by the gods." He knew this would get Talon's attention, hopefully it wouldn't cause him to get upset, "So it made me wonder, if those chuckle heads can use it why not us? I mean yeah we've invented tech to mimic their abilities, but excluding Tare Vizsla whenever someone was born with these gifts what do we do?" he asked his vode around the cooking fire, "We either shun them, outcast them, force them to suppress it, or outright kill em" he said, his face betraying a sort of firsthand experience in such matters, "Meg haran kebbur at kyr'amur a adiik jaon mias kebise?" he spat under his breath. Rowa couldn't help but wince at that, something that both confused and intrigued him at the same time, "Anywho" continued Dolworth, "All of that got me thinking why couldn't we embrace this gift the gods gave us? They know were struggling against a foe who uses sorcery? They even praised us for our ingenuity? But maybe they realized we were way outclassed and decided to give us an advantage? Hence why I call it the Gift of the Will" concluded Dol


(Who the hell tries to kill a child over such things?)

Rowa pondered at Dol's outlook. It struck a chord with him and reverberated down to his very soul, giving a sense of thought and wonder before looking up at the others, "So I could be gifted by the gods? According to you I mean?" asked Rowa.

"I don't think it Foundling" retorted Dol, "I know it" he chuckled, "As for what you do with that gift well...that's up to you"

Rowa nodded as he looked down and scrapped the last bit of food from the plate. He swallowed it down hard before grabbing his cup of beer to chase it. He didn't get much drink down when he looked up.

His face turned pale, his eyes widened, and beer sprayed from his lips as he jolted back in yelp. He fell back from the stool he was sitting on, scrambling backward as the figure once more stood before him. Standing behind Dolworth like a looming shadow.

"Be-Be-Behind you!" screeched Rowa.

Dolworth jolted up, blaster drawn as he turned around. He saw nothing. His eyebrows furrowed as he turned around to look at Rowa, "Uh lad" he chuckled, "I think you had too much to drink"

"No!" barked Rowa, watching as Dol faded through the specter, "He's standing right behind you!" he said.

"Ad" it spoke. Rowa's eyes furrowed as he stood up, Adenn helping him to his feet.

"What?" he asked.

"Ad de Ijak" it spoke again, the cape flowing with a gust of wind to reveal the wolf-like sigil upon its back.

"Ad de Ijak?" repeated Rowa, taking a step forward before the specter disappeared into the morning dew, "Wait!" he commanded. Too late the specter was gone. Rowa shook his head as he took his seat once more, placing a hand across his face and rubbed his eyes, "Maybe I took a harder hit on the head on Dantooine" he said out loud.

Dorea stood at her tent, brought out by the commotion. She heard the words and pondered while she quietly observed the quartet near the Raza...

Ill admit that Rowa's sudden jerking gave me a bit of a scare, I saw nothing but heard a great tearing of the wind where he Pointed. I looked closer but could not see anything.
"what happened? What do you see there?"
I went to shake him slightly trying to get his Attention, as my hand grasped his shoulder I could see what he stared at. A phantom.. no, A saint!
"Ad be Ijak"
(Son of Ijak)
I fell back in terror, Taking my hand off of Rowa and watching as the spector faded away.
"By Kad's blade.."
I gasped

Talon had to admit; he'd rolled his eyes at the childish manner Rowa presented himself. Asking hopeful questions, nodding as papa Dol helped him out. Ugh. He still didn't like this guy in any way, but he could at least try to accept him...

When he started jerking around, Talon very nearly facepalmed. What the hell was this guy doing under the table?

After a while, he realized something was actually happening; Son of Ijak? What in the kriffing galaxy did that mean?

Rowa pulled himself to his feet, dusting himself off as he looked around. The Figure was no where to be seen before looking at Dolworth. Adenn, next to Dol, was now appearing either extremely aggitated or extremely excited. Either way, Rowa was feeling more than a bit uncomfortable as he looked more towards Adenn while Dol looked at Adenn with equal curiosity to the fellow Vod's Enthusiasm.

"Does Ijak mean anything to you?" he asked the now very excited man...

I knew that name. I heard it many times.
"Ijak.. Son of Besk'in. Besk'in's second son was born in his 36th year while in hiding In the mountains of Lothal. His birth Order made him ineligible to be Heir but he was incredibly gifted in the Force. He was given his own Banner, the skull of a loth-wolf. and he founded a cadet clan. their foundlings were mostly wounded Jedi, Lost or abandoned younglings or even Stolen Jedi Foundlings."
I stopped for a moment to recollect myself.
"They were our Ecclesiastical Class. They performed the rituals, gave blessings and taught prayers. they also philosophied and were scribes. we lost contact with them some time after the great purge and had assumed them to be wiped out."
I had to breath, talking so quickly began to make my head spin.
"Besk'in had his journey into the Manda in his 84th year. He was given q task by the destroyer.. to bring balance to the force and to save the mandalorian people, the sons of Ijak would be the instruments of balance and so Ijak went about recording all of Besk'ins knowledge to produce an ape of the Jedi Order and protect the innocent who became trapped in their wars. even fighting both to brin them to peace."
Every time I blinked, the spector came into view again. his words echoed
"that.. that was him! Ijak Rytt! and if that were him... Vod, you must be the heir meant to revive that clan.. to bring peace and balance!"

I came just as Adenn had completed his lesson. I stared At rowa. He seemed confused but I went an brought him one of the small books Adenn had given me to study.
"You should go through this, the meditations offered are great for clearing you head. this'll give you a basic run down of the religion. its written in Concordian dialect though, which is close to mando'a but I have trouble reading it at times so ask Adenn for translation"

Now Talon was incredibly confused. A sith was supposed to revive an entire clan? He wasn't even Mandalorian...wait, was he? His head was swirling; why did nobody tell him these things...He shook his head and nodded at Etr. "Yeah, uhhh...you do that." He said awkwardly.

He still didn't understand why this guy was a foundling; never would Talon be caught calling Rowa a "Vod." Sooner or later he'd have to speak to Dol and Adenn alone; they still hadn't explained why they were so obsessed with this individual.

Rowa stared incredibly confused at Adenn as he explained further, but now a little more wiser in knowing that this ghost was something explainable. However as Adenn showed that not only the sigil but the name meant something, things became more unsettling for him as echos came from the back of his mind. Sounds of children laughing, then screams...then the unmistakable humming of a lightsaber before it faded back into the shadows of his mind.

Rowa shook his head as he looked down at the one called Etr, Taking the books and then looking back at Adenn, "So, what you're saying is that I'm from this Clan...Ijak?" he asked utterly confused, "But I...I don't remember anything about being among your kind till the Wheel and Dantooine...or here" he chuckled nervously, "I don't remember anything than my time being raised by Xerxes" he said, his mind trying to find some semblance of memory before hand...Something was there...wanting desperately to be remembered...but still remained elusive as a shadow...

Dolworth stood there the entire time, nodding along as he listened. He had heard of the Ijaks, though his extent of them were that they were mad Sorcerers that dabbled with things that during their time were considered blasphemous by the Mandalorians. The fact they were kinsmen to the Rytts was a development to Dolworth, however it came to him as no surprise. He nodded as he handed out seconds of food and finished off the cooking before tossing back a cup of caff.

"Maybe its a genetic memory?" suggested Dol, "Maybe your ancestors are calling out for a kinsman for help to restore them?" he further elaborated, "Whatever reason, the gods have decided to vex you with these visions. For what purpose I have no clue...and frankly from my experience finding out never ends well." he said with a chuckle, finishing off the last of breakfast and gulping down the rest of the coffee, "But like I said before It's your decision on what to do with this life and the gifts you have been given. My advice? Just be you" He concluded as he stood up to clean the dishes.

"More Coffee?" he asked everyone, "What about you Vod?" asked Dol to Talon, "We have plenty!"

I refused the coffee kindly,
"No. we need to get moving on this, now. before the Sec-rans move the ship and we lose the designs."
I rose, drinking down the last of my cup and heading to
"where's the place, vod? where are we going tl retrieve your droid friend?"
I looked at the ma,n Expectantly.

Talon shook his head at the offer for coffee; he still had his helmet on though he'd had conflicting feelings on its necessity. The Way was meant to be a secondhand protection line, and he'd long understood that...but with all the change coming about, it didn't seem so relevant.

Now he was all the more confused; either the man was an ex-Sith turned foundling, an ex-Mandalorian traitor turned Sith, or an ex-Mandalorian-turnedSith-turnedFoundling. He wanted to facepalm; his brain wasn't functioning well enough to think about these things...wait a minute...

He recalled his former statement and grabbed coffee, leaving the immediate vicinity to lift his helmet up and take a sip or two. He had to admit, he'd originally hated Rowa, and he still didn't trust Adenn or Dol to the extent he had previously...but he was also intrigued by the man, as if wanting a part in his future.

He sighed, downed the cup in skillful Mandalorian fashion, and shook his head to clear his mind, heading back to the group. "Ahh, yes, finally we get to do something!" He commented at the droid question. Maybe this would get some kriff off his mind...

"I agree." stated Rowa, standing up, "Just let me get some gear and-"

"Now hold your Lothwolf Son." stated Dolworth, pulling the young man down and having him sit, "You so much as sneeze at Coruscaunt and the Sec-Rans will be all over you like white on rice Foundling." he explained, "Remember on paper, you're dead. Let's keep it that way. The last thing we want is the Rangers starting to go look for ya again." He explained, cleaning the dishes and making sure everything was prepped for collection from the other tribes folk.

"But..." said Rowa with protest, "ONI-"

"Is my responsibility now" interrupted Dolworth, "I promised you I'd get the little guy. And knowing the Rans they'll have him in the Property room at their Headquarters, near their Impound lot" he explained as he looked at his Vode.

"Sadly, If i go in there by myself looking for just this droid it will raise eyebrows." he said to them, "Am I to assume Vode that you two are in on this madness?" he asked with a grin looking at Adenn and Talon.

Rowa growled a bit at Dolworth's insistence that, for lack of a better word, he stay behind. However Dol had a point: If the SecRans or even the Jedi were to see him alive they would attempt to recapture him. All he wanted was ONI, a lightsaber...and some time to figure out all this information that was now overwhelming his thoughts. He simply let out a gasp of acceptance as he watched Dolworth confirm if Adenn Rytt and Talon Vizsla were volunteering to join him on their little quest to Coruscaunt...

"Well, if we're going I should get my gear"
Etr said, turning to start for the Spooky Mistress. I stopped him befor he could get too far.
"This goes south, then you'll go to jail, Ad'ika. stay here with Rowa and try to learn some more."
he was visibly hurt by this
"But I-"
I shook my head
"this isn't the place, not the time. you will stay here with Rowa. that is my final word on it."
Etr was incredibly Disappointed, he clearly wanted to Join us, but I could not allow it. I turned toward Dolworth
"You mind if I fly with tou, Vod?"

Talon shrugged and nodded at Dol's question, not wanting to seem too eager. He needed to do something, anything, and whether it was go after a droid or save Mandalore, he was up for it. He stood, listened to Adenn's request, and hesitated; "It'd be best we had an extra ride just in case."

With that, he turned and walked briskly to the Reaper; he wasn't just being cautious. He wanted to fly alone, to think things over; nothing was making sense these days and he didn't like it that way. Regardless, he had nothing better to do; he'd go wherever his Vods needed him to go, no matter how he felt.

It was the Way.
