It had been tormenting Leah to the point of sleeplessness in the recent months, ever since she began to fully accept herself as a being in which the Force can flow through, the nightmares had began to steadily interrupt her rest.
Visions of a dead world made of ice. An impenetrable blizzard as thick as the despair that filled her bones more bitterly than the chill of the howling wind. Two obscured shadows holding hands, staring at her through the haze of dagger-like snow... only to disappear with a shrill scream that replaces the whipping winds entirely. The screaming ascends into a cacophony of anguished cries from every elusive direction rising to deafening volume, and in the core of the unknowable snowstorm a figure begins to walk towards her, distinctly feminine, with two red sabers blazing in the fog of grey and white. It utters words in a voice no living being should hear, eldritch and phantasmal... and those abyssal words are always:
"I'm waiting"
Then reality would be thrust upon her like a lightsaber to the heart, and Leah would be drenched in an uncomfortably cold sweat.

And it had happened again tonight.

Leah bolted awake in a panic as she always did, gasping and reaching out at something, anything... panting as her eyes flitted around her room. She couldnt help it, it was as though she was expecting the dire icy miasma to have crept into reality to torment her further- but luckily for her that was not the case. With a tired and defeated groan she simply pulled herself out of bed and made her way from room. As always she was sleeping in her ship, the Dawn Charger, which she kept almost permanently parked in Kothlis for the duration of her training, and with a grumble she threw herself down into the cockpit seat and flipped on navicomputer.

"01:03? why am i not surprised..." she turned off the screen with a frustrated tap and span in her chair, staring at the wall in thought. It would inevitably be a good few hours before she could actually get any form of sleep again, and she found herself just wishing she could be rid of dreams entirely. It felt like an eternity since she last had a decent one. "I might as well spend the time productively, i guess"

She got up from the chair then and returned to her ship's makeshift dorm, putting on her gear and exiting the vessel entirely as she made her way into the outpost proper, leaving a message to any and all who, like her, was up at such an abominable hour.

"My name is Leah Valkyrius, im a Padawan here... i cant sleep, and if there are any padawans here that also cant, you're welcome to train with me for a while in the training rooms. Im going to be working on the Force, but its up to you." she was a little to tired to finish with 'May the force be with you' and instead, just headed towards the training rooms.
