He snatched it and clipped it on his sash once more. He stumbled over to Annika's chair and leaned his elbows on it, yawning a little. "How many-" he yawned, "hours left till we hit open space?"

JediMaster12 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 "Where will we head from where we fall out of hyperspace?" Lilah asked. She shared a grin with Annika at Lionel's recent misfortune and she turned to look at the systems of the ship. She began to sing a song in her head, "Shadows trip across the river, falling in a stream of silver..." She didn't realize that she was vibrating it through the Force and Lionel and Annkia where hearing it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 "Heard that before.." He said to himself, shaking his hair a little. He started to get up and walk around the room, pacing the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Annika nodded. "It does sound familiar," she murmured. Then, she shook her head. "Well, these days, the planet is called the Watchtower. Its people are warriors, thanks to me, but at a glance, you'd never know. Even the children are deadly." She tapped an empty square in space. "Like I said, it's right here, but no map you'll ever find of the galaxy has it mapped. Unless you know where to go, finding the Watchtower is worse than finding a needle in a haystack."

Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 "You mean, without the bloody mess afterwards.. unless you're careful.." He said, smirking a little. He walked to a small window and looked out it at the blue tunnel they were in. "I think we're about to hit space.." He said, taking note of the fading tunnel.

JediMaster12 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 "I'm sorry. Was I singing through the Force again? It was just a song that my parents used to sing of a great warrior called Kirabaros or something. That is what it is translated but the original is even better," Lilah realized that her companions were curious about the song. She looked at where Annika was pointing for the Watchtower and continued, "It was a song my parents used to sing when I was little. When I was older, they claimed they could hear me singing it in their thoughts. I don't know." Lilah cheacked the console to make sure the ship was steady as they were going to jump out of hyperspace. Aware that she was talking at a different rate than her companions she caught up, "Thw Watchtower is like the system that my people are from. It is said that it is a place that can't be found by those unless they have already been there. It was said that it was a haven for the Force sensitive or something. I don't know. The system is the Avalonian system but it is not on any of the charts though few of the Republic have claimed to have been there and back. Maybe it was your Watchtower that they found," and she smiled trying to make light of a grim situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 "Whatever the situation, I'll just be glad to set foot on a planet where i'm not hunted," he said, walking over and sitting in a chair behind the pilot, strapping himself in as the ship slid out of hyperspace.

JediMaster12 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 "If that where the case, then we should head for my people's haven.

Writer Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 "Hunted?" Annika laughed. "No, no. You'll be protected. They trust anyone with me." "As for where your people are from," Annika went on, turning to Lilah, "I really don't think it's the Watchtower. There can't be more than a thousand people living on the entire planet... and they all live in one place. Not to mention, there are all different races there." Suddenly, the comm crackled to life. You bring visitors to us, Annika Venn? "I do," Annika answered. "We'll be..." The ship rocked. Don't bother landing. We'll guide you down. Power everything but life support off. "They've always been touchy about that," Annika said, smiling slightly as she complied with their orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediMaster12 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Lilah was surprisingly calm. She was feeling all corners of the environment around her, 'seeing.' She wasn't concerned by the abruptness of the people. She went back to her singing where she left off, through the Force, "...the Heart leads the sun when all have long been gone. He brings the hope through the land, and peace settles in the palm of the hand..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Lionel blinked and raised an eyebrow, "You make that all up by yourself? Or do you just see the future and sing what you see and hear.. like a Force siren?" He said, walking over and leaning his elbows on Lilah's chair.

JediMaster12 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Lilah turned to stare at Lionel. She replied, "No I didn't make that up. It's a story sung way before I was born. My mother used to sing it to me and I remembered. It is about a great waarrior who united the tribes on my parents homeworld." She gazed thoughtfully at the console behind Lionel as if debating on whether or not to continue. With a sigh, she spoke again, "Sometimes when I see things, I do sing about it. I used to do that when the other padawans would get in trouble or were going to get in trouble. The masters never knew what to make of it."

Grew up dirt poor, my dad was a dead beat and my mom died when I was born. Ate off of table scraps 'till the Republic brought me in, I never got to learn anything.. about everything. Until Revan," he said, concentrating for a moment, as if actually reconsidering going back to him, then realizing he's gone too far to go back now. "About two minutes until landing.." He said, not even looking out the viewscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Two minutes later, the ship was settled gently on the surface in the Watchtower's only city, Andarin. Annika powered down life support and headed for the boarding ramp. It slid down and Annika disembarked, approaching a young man there waiting for them. "Welcome back, Annika Venn," he said. "You and your companions are to follow me." "These two are trustworthy, Gan," Annika said. "Trust them, protect them." "We protect," Gan answered stiffly. "Trust must be earned." "Of course," Annika said quietly. She turned to Lionel and Lilah and said sharply, "Follow closely. The path we are about to take is easy to get lost in." With that, she followed Gan into what could only be described as a maze. There were so many twists and turns, abrupt drops, climbs, and anything else imagineable, it would be impossible to remember the exact path taken. "Stay close," Annika warned again. "It's very easy to get lost in here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 He followed Annika and the man(or woman?) through the maze of ancient walls. He took a tight corner and slammed his knee into a corner, stopping for a second and rubbing it before catching back up with Annika. "This is one hell of a maze you got here.." He said while panting.

JediMaster12 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Lilah took a look around and she felt at home. The trees, the brush, all felt familiar and she was at ease. She allowed Lionel to hold her hand as she followed Annika becoming acutely aware that there was alot going on. She would turn her gaze to look at something and it scared Lionel that she might get them lost but she always had a bearing on Annika. She was thoughtful about the Watchtower. All felt right.

Writer Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 ((I have a couple of problems with your posts. First, this is not a maze of trees and bushes. The city has been built in such a way that the walls of its city, all the buildings sort of overlap. Some walls have even been added to increase the confusion of the maze. If attacked and overpowered, any living citizens run to the maze. There's more than enough room there and they all know the maze very well. Also, JM12, you're still making it sound as if Lilah's from here... Watchtower is a planet I created. The only connections it has to the Star Wars universe are the ones I make for it... it has been cut off from the rest of the galaxy for at least a thousand years. It's not on star charts or anything. If you wouldn't mind, could you pick a different planet?)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
