Tears for the Future

[Black Noise]

Mira closed her eyes, then explained.
"I do not believe I have told you my full story, have I?"
She wasn't mad at Lamia, sad, yes, but not mad. Lamia was choosing a dark path, and perhaps Mira could no turn her from it, but the sheer fact that Lamia would not try to kill her was testament that she COULD be brought back.

"When I was six, my father burned out my eyes because I relied too much on them during a spar. When I was ten, I was forced as a part of my training to kill my only friend in a DeathMatch. When I turned fourteen, I stabbed my father in his sleep and took his saber. Lamia, the Dark Path that you walk will only bring you pain. I will not try to force you to the light. We will remain friends, no matter how disappointed this makes me, and if the Imperial Knights come after you, then-"

She opened her eyes, a determination never seen before within them.
"Then I will destroy everyone that tries to hurt you."

It is strange... I chose the path of betrayal, yet refuse to betray one of my closest friends. You would have filled the path of pain, yet you will end those who wish to cause me pain.

Now who... Who can fill the third part of this trinity? Betrayal, Pain... Hunger.

 

[Black Noise]

Mira headed towards the forest, off to find a Vornskr. She had been planning on getting one for months. Mira said.
"You can take my ship to Korriban if you'd like. To fill hunger, you need someone who, above all else, seeks power. A true Sith will fill your third path. I can find a different way off planet, goodbye Lamia."

 

[Fusion]

No.

Lamia paused.

You can take your ship. I will find another way off this planet myself. I refuse to take it from you. I will head to the space dock and take a transport to wherever I intend to go. We are friends, and I am above taking someone else's craft for my own.

 

[Black Noise]

Mira stopped and sighed. Turning around, she walked over to Lamia and reached up to place her hand on her shoulder. She smiled and told her.
"Lamia, I'm not giving you a choice. Besides, I'm not giving it to you either, I expect the old hunk of junk back in a couple of days."

She pushed her hand to the back of Lamia's neck and pulled her head down. Mira kissed her on the cheek and added.
"I trust that ship with my life, and I don't want to have to trust your life with some refugee ship. Now shove out."

 

[Fusion]

Aye aye, ma'am. Tell one of your friends to pick this ship up at Rago. I will be making one last stop at the border before I decide what to do.

Lamia gave a humorous salute before getting in the cockpit of the rusty fighter and taking off. She would go to Rago, a border world, and decide what to do with herself.

 

[Black Noise]

Mira smiled as Lamia left, whispering.
"Take care."

Turning away, she grinned and headed off into the jungle, determined to find herself a Vornskr.
