Father and Daughter?

[Tal]

**Enter The True Master of Lifeforce and The Living Force: The Archivist's Rebirth!**

It seems... the time has come.

The middle aged man, no longer possessing the boyish charm he once held, now a grown man with blonde with grey neatly ushered into his hair, sighed aloud in the cockpit of his passenger carrier which he had slipped onto in his travels, most recently from Korriban, but that was another story. For now, his Old Friend, the Force (Particularly that which lives and grows and summons up the awareness of the moment) summoned him to here, this place where his dream and love sat upon a throne and was finally adored day and night like the bodies of the heavens themselves.


It's good to know.. she is where she deserves to be... Aunna.

The man was wearing full covering desert brown robes and a short, now neatly trimmed beard, no moustache, and his hair was long (a little above shoulder length) and with grey and white complimenting a sandy blonde. His cowl covered his face, the reflection of eyes that literally glew sky blue caught and held in Circular glasses. The Jedi Master, a title he still clung to if not only for the opportunity to resist the Government of the era, but also to revive old memories before his extreme self-tutilege under the Living Force for the past 20 years. He was ready to rejoin the efforts of those he had left behind long ago... he only hoped he would not find the hate and discontent he feared he deserved. To say the force was strong with him would be the understatement of the millenium, it flowed from him like a constant oceanic current, filled with the electricity of life and love itself. This man, simply being near him, made you feel warm, fuzzy inside. He was a true disciple of good and an avatar of life and protection. He carried two lightsabers under his robes, invisible to perception and wore sandals upon his feet. He had a habit of smiling and joking a lot, having helped play with a child on the transport to give his mother time to rest after a long persecution fleeing Korriban. What time had taken away in youth it had bestowed in personality and charm, Blueskies was at his peak.

The wandering Scholar of the Living Force gave the child back to his mother's care and with a second of concentration concealed all semblence of the Force from himself. To any other than a master Dark Jedi he would seem a strange, wise, eccentric, and kind middle aged man.

He sighed again and adjusted his glasses, trying to focus.

[glow=blue,2,300]Here I come, Countess Aunna...[/glow]

He took all precautions and followed all protocol in an attempt to reach an audience with the Countess, it helped that his study of Rilan could have passed him off as a native speaker but that kind of talent in cultural skill was nothing new for this man...

Upon reaching one of the final thresh holds in checks he looked and saw a very beauitful young woman out in a garden-esque scene and he used his incredible Force control to sense her without releasing his own connection. She was strong indeed!
Something VERY familiar about this young woman...

....

...It struck him.


[glow=blue,2,300]Could she be... one of her's?...[/glow]

A confounded man made his way to the woman, pulling down his hood upon coming in conversational range.


[glow=blue,2,300]Hello, I am a traveling scholar who has come to have an audience with her Majesty, the Countess Firians. But, all manner of business and politico aside, I would like to find your name, young lady, and perhaps engrave it onto my aging memory. Hah hah hah[/glow]

The man laughed in a way that seemed to permeate through the garden. He really was a witty and charming fellow and this was undeniable.

((He is talking to Daawn, so whenever you're ready Tal . Lol, father/daughter quality time ))

Daawn stood looking at the man quietly for a moment, studying him.

[glow=green,2,300]Anorum Sel Master Jedi. You may find my name, sir, but perhaps I should put you through a test to do so?[/glow]

She teased lightly. There was something she liked about this man...something oddly familiar, but she put that thought aside, her deep green eyes searching his as if seeing into his very soul. Her dark green dress floated about her slightly as a wind blew through the outdoor hallway, but she didn't seem to notice it, nor the fact that it was hot outside.

[glow=green,2,300]My name is Priestess Daawn. I am acting Contess for the time being. Contess Talau is not here at the moment...she is, I believe, just now arriving at the Northern Temple from Kashyyk.

She will be pleased to see another fellow jedi still alive...she has been....[/glow]

Daawn searched for the correct words that would not give away all of her mother's feelings on the situation...that would be folly.

[glow=green,2,300]Discontent....with the few she has been able to help. She still searches for more of them...that she hopes live...particularly some of the masters.[/glow]

She explained, her voice quiet as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. She gave him a smile, though it didn't quite reach her eyes.

[glow=green,2,300]May I ask your name, Master Jedi?[/glow]

She asked, her eyes becoming a deep blue.

[Sana <X> Vaerok]

The Jedi listened intently at every word, how great it felt to speak to other Jedi while not on the lamb from the New Empire. The only ones he had encountered over the past 20 years were in such a predicament, as was he. He had made and lost many friends in those years.

[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]That is truly a shame, My dear Priestess. Your mother is a most extraordinary woman, though I fear she... well, let's just say I might not be her favorite choice of company. Hah hah hah![/glow][/shadow]

The middle aged Jedi laughed off his situation. He lay down an enormous pack which was heavily weighted with books and journals and documents of all sorts and scripts. The man really looked foolish when it opened on him and spilt everywhere in the garden, the wind being sure to pick up the unaccounted for papers. The scene was so comic one could hardly avoid laughing as the man, with his face now uncovered by the same wind, frantically scurried around trying to recover the lost pieces and notes.

The man did this for some time ((you can rp Daawn's reaction to this and her assistance)) and tied the bag tight before composing himself once more. He smiled and apologized for his lack of sense, laughing that off as well. He reached out and took the young woman's hand warmly:


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]As for my name, I am.. an old fox, so to say. I am the former, though I still intend to retake the job with a vengeance, Jedi Master and Archivist. I hope my resume is enough, Daawn. I am sure your mother will recognize me from what I have told you.[/glow][/shadow]

The Jedi, face uncovered, stood six and a half feet tall and greeted the young woman with that same smile which had been a light to the Jedi Order in times of war and Darkness alike. The disciple of peace, advocate of hope, and guardian of wisdom, Sanariel Blueskies, was back and ready to save the world... again.


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]You are as beautiful as your mother, Daawn. How did they ever talk such a beautiful young woman into a celibate profession?[/glow][/shadow]

His charm and personality had certainly not faded either.

((Maybe too early to reveal who he is but she may not entirely be aware of who Sana is. If she isn't aware his work as achivist or his looks (he has aged considerably) then she may not recognize him. If she does, that would be understandable too. Can't WAIT to see how this plays out!!))

[Tal]

Daawn chuckled as the papers flew around, and she guided the wind to her, blowing the papers back to them, and allowing them to settle as she gracefully picked them up as well as some of his books. With a look she shooed the onlookers away and shook her head, handing him back his papers.

[glow=green,2,300]You do know her then. I thought as much....I...she speaks of you often.[/glow]

She replied, bowing her head slightly, then looking back up at him and smiling, brushing the sadness of the memories away.

[glow=green,2,300]Master Blueskies....the priestess' on our planet are not celibate. Not after we turn 25 anyway, and that is years past for me.[/glow]

She said, gazing at him with a smile. She was only 5' 6", but even so she seemed to radiate power and calm. Her long brown hair was swept back in a single braid with half her hair, that trailed down over the rest of it, which was loose.

[glow=green,2,300]She will be happy to see you. Trust me on this...please...come inside. We have rooms to spare, and I think that we should head indoors anyway. My brother is wondering why I'm not answering his com's.[/glow]

[Sana <X> Vaerok]

Sana could not help but feel this woman's pain, his senses (Sharpened with age) caught every touch of body language. He reached out in the Force and used put healing/soothing energy feeling like a hand on her shoulder while taking the offer and following her. Never the less, it did help him focus knowing Tal would be happy to see him.

[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]Daawn, all joking aside... I am sorry. I am sorry that I was not there for your mother when I was needed the most and that I did not get the chance to do what she and I dreamt of...[/glow][/shadow]

His bright, glowing blue eyes caught her's for a moment-


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]...to see you and your other sibling blossom into incredible and strong people. I know this may seem like I am just talking up a lecture to you but...[/glow][/shadow]

His eyes turned sad, like the blue of an ocean tide retreating into the sea-


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]I always hoped for... always dreamed of you three, everynight. I wanted to be the man-well, I mean, to say... I wanted to be the father I desired to be. To be your father was my deepest and only indestructible desire... and I apologize for failing you, starshine.[/glow][/shadow]

Sana, though older, was still no stranger to emotional outbursts and this was no exception. His deep blue eyes caught her's before they kept making way to their destination...

He only hoped he hadnt overstepped the line and made a fool of himself...like usual.

[Tal]

Daawn smiled slightly and touched his mind gently, allowing him to see flashes of her past...

a child running along the halls of the palace, laughing as she hid behind a curtain then peeking out to see if her brother would find her.

A young girl, running up to her mother crying, only to be soothed slightly and quieted before being told that her friend's life was not wasted, nor that she died in vain.

A young woman fighting with all her might to control a large lion looking creature.

The whole time, she kept walking calmly.

[glow=green,2,300]You...missed her?[/glow]

She asked, gazing up at him, her eyes turning a deep green once more.

[Sana <X> Vaerok]

Sana looked on... what a brave woman.

He sought to answer her question:


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]Miss her? no... To miss her would imply she left me

*He held his hand against his chest and smiled sincerely*

She never did. Neither did you or your ... brother? You three brought me here safely and delivered me from death time and time again. You remain an undying inspiration.[/glow][/shadow]

Sanariel smiled. Daawn had such a level of maturity it made him seem childish. But, he sucked it up and focused. He was, indeed, a man and he would have to face Aunna as a man. He only hoped she still... loved him as he did her...


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]Not to seem unseemly as I am SO old, hah hah, but ... I imagine the countess has a suitor? A 'King' to rule by her side, to put it in a more general way?[/glow][/shadow]

[Tal]

Daawn nodded slightly as she listened, then sighed heavily.

[glow=green,2,300]She has many suitors, yes....but she pays none of them any mind. She saya that she will likely never choose one.[/glow]

She replied serenely. This man was a good man, and so far she liked him...and she could see why her mother did as well.

[glow=green,2,300]Do you know that she still thinks of you? She fears you are dead, but her heart tells her otherwise....[/glow]

She paused a moment in her speaking and led him into a room witha comfortable bed, chair, desk, and a wooden chair for the desk, as well as a small table in the corner of the room. She touched one of the smooth, round orbs, and they all flickered to life with blue light before she opened the heavy inner curtains over the window.

[glow=green,2,300]She didn't say so, but that is one reason why she had gone searching for other jedi.....especially on Kashyyk. She just wanted to know one way or the other.[/glow]

[Sana <X> Vaerok]

Sana was amazed to hear about this. After all this time... she still cared for him. What kind of woman could claim such devotion after such a time... he really felt honored. He only felt invigorated and more warm with her answers. When they reached the room he layhis bag beside what he assumed was a visitor's chair and sat.


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]Daawn... when she spoke of me, tell me, was it sad? What did she really try to say, around all the subtext?[/glow][/shadow]

He said with his hands folded and his eyes focused on idea rather than an object.

[Tal]

She shook her head slightly.

[glow=green,2,300]I'm loath to say....[/glow]

Daawn replied, and sat down quietly on the edge of the bed, looking out the window.

[glow=green,2,300]She said many things...that you were an honorable man, clever, focused, strong in the force....she also said you were stubborn....but though she put on a good face, Daeron and I could always feel her pain....it was like the ocean's waves in a storm...all darkness and threatening to overwhelm her at times. Sometimes....sometimes I think she clung to us for safety these past years almost as much as we clung to her.[/glow]

She explained quietly, then looked back over to him, her eyes rimmed with deep blue.

[glow=green,2,300]She never said so openly to us, but....she loved you...she does still...I think that....by looking for you, even if all she found was a dead body, it would give her the opportunity to mourn propperly, as any lover would another.[/glow]

[Sana <X> Vaerok]

Sana's eyes, though filled with age and wisdom, were radiating blue when these things fell upon his ears like rain upon a desert. He loved her so much as well... HE would not make the same mistake twice.


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]I shoot for no praise, but have I lived up to expectations set by your mother?[/glow][/shadow]

He stood while awaiting an answer, he looked at her with a fox like grin.


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]No one will leave or make the mistake of evasion or cowardice this time.

*His grin widened to meet Daawn's curisoity*

When she walks through that door, I will kiss her.[/glow][/shadow]

He laughed a little with a full, genuine smile.

[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]Would you mind if this old Bookworm did that?[/glow][/shadow]

[Tal]

Daawn laughed out loud then, her laugh ringing in the room like clear bells.

[glow=green,2,300]Of course I wouldn't! You are a silly man to have to ask such things after what I've just told you![/glow]

She said with another laugh, when the com in the room went off. Daawn walked over and touched the screen and Daeron appeared on it.

[glow=blue,2,300]Hello sister...I hope things are well with you?[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300]Yes...but what has you calling again so soon?[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]I'm here on Ossus, but so far there is no word of any other jedi here. It has me worried slightly. That, and there's something on Rilia...something odd....Mother is there now, I can tell that, but I do not know what, or who, has come with her.
And another presence....just....be careful...this other one is strong...alright? We don't need any more problems.[/glow]

He said with a serious look. Daawn chuckled and shook her head.

[glow=green,2,300]You worry to much Daeron. I know what goes on here, and I trust this presence you feel.[/glow]

Daeron grunted slightly.

[glow=blue,2,300]Also, my ship is acting up once more...I nearly bypassed Ossus because my monitors were glitching...it might take me longer than expected to get back.[/glow]

[Sana <X> Vaerok]

Sana laughed it off as well, he was in a sly mood and this would fit perfectly. Plus, he had waited 20 years for this kiss. He would just have to make sure it lived up to the hype.


[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]He seems... stoic. He has a lot of Tal in him... and his father, it would appear.

I must reseal my presence, Tal will be worried to sense so strong a power with you in this room, knowing how much my energy has changed over the years, it will be next to impossile for her to pinpoint it as me. [/glow][/shadow]

He focused on his presence, sealing it and making it seem as though any other living being was in here. He only hoped Tal was too occupied fom her travels to notice.

[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]I am, naturally, a silly man. You're mother just failed to leave out the more "human" characteristics. Genius is no fun without personality and eccentricities you know.[/glow][/shadow]

He adjusted his glasses and his grin grew more sly. He hoped he could still catch her in his trick.

[Tal]

Daawn chuckled slightly and nodded.

[glow=green,2,300]Oh trust me, he is....he doesn't often say that much. I was surprised to hear him say that much actually.[/glow]

She said with a grin, as she senced his presence dim.

[glow=green,2,300]I think I should go see to the fact that my mother is coming...She might not know to come back here yet.[/glow]

She said with a slight wink, and flowed from the room.

[Sana <X> Vaerok]

Sana nodded and walked up the walls and stood on the ceiling, croutched down for cover and stealth.

Upon Tal's entrance he would come down and kiss her flat-footed.

Quite Smarmy, indeed he thought silently...

[Talau]

Talau passed by the room quietly, then came back. There was a new presence here....at first, she had thought that it was Sana...but now....now she was thinking it was just wishful thinking. Sighing, she knocked lightly on the door and opened it, looking around.

[glow=9999ff,2,300]Hello?[/glow]

She said, uncertain, and put a wary hand on Helluin.

[Sana <X> Vaerok]

Sana smiled.

In a flash the Jedi Master hit the ground and sprung up, ignoring her saber hand completely, and wrapping his arms around her tightly. His lips were locked into her's and his body against her's before she ever had a chance. Such is the power of lover (( <-- corny ))

The Archivist's glowing blue eyes met her beautiful multicolored eyes.

[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]Hello. I love you, Aunna.[/glow][/shadow]

Though age had greyed him and changed him ever so slightly. it was the same as when they had kissed all those years ago. As romantic as Silmourne.

[Belle Morte]

*Quenladose with a fluid movement on sheathed the ryyk blade and held with under-handed as the small woman crouched and looked at the men with eye's the color of storm clouds and trails of frost along her skin and at her feet*

Who is this?

[Talau]

((*cough*Gag* sappy....^_^ ))

Talau struggled for a moment against him, but after a moment she recognized him and relaxed into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck and shoulders.

[glow=9999ff,2,300]Sana?....[/glow]

She said quietly, and blinked in confusion slightly, then tried to back away, but was held fast by his arms.

[glow=9999ff,2,300]You love me? How can you say such things when you leave me wondering for twenty years if you're alive or not?! I've a right mind to slap you!

I just don't know what I want to do more...slap you, or kiss you![/glow]

She said angrily, her eyes running through a range of color before finally settling on a dead shade of grey as she looked down.

[Sana <X> Vaerok]

Sana looked at her rage and how she slid down into a pool of grey. He had seen that shade before and did not like it one bit. He held her hand and placed it against his cheek. He looked her in the eyes with a heart full of humility, regret, and love.

[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]I'd be fine if you did both, beautiful.[/glow][/shadow]

She was as beautiful as the last time he had seen her. She was still his evening star, his goddess. no number of decades could change that.

[shadow=white,left,300][glow=blue,2,300]I am so sorry Tal, I am. I was hunted down and had to live on the run for years. Everyone I met ended up captured or dead because of me. I care about you more than I care about going on, I couldn't add imperial troubles to your liberation war. They would have killed your children in front of us and then us in front of each other.

I stayed away because... I wanted to keep you safe. Better an eternity in hell than to see my goddess fall from heaven. Yes, Aunna. Yes, I do love you; with all of my heart.[/glow][/shadow]

His eyes glew blue and watered as he spoke.

[Talau]

She looked at him, her eyes still grey and then closed them tightly for a moment.

[glow=9999ff,2,300]I love you as well Sana...you...you don't know how hard it has been, not hearing a word of if you are alive or dead...not knowing to go on hoping you might come back one day, or to mourn the loss of you until I crossed as well. It has tortured me more than anything else.[/glow]

She said sadly and smiled a little, looking up at him once more, her eyes holding a hint of purple once more.

[glow=9999ff,2,300]Sana....I....hm.....I don't want you to leave again...I don't think....I don't think I could stand it again....[/glow]
