Description

“When was the last time we had a moment alone? They’re afraid of us.”

“They’re concerned. There’s a difference.”

“No. They’re afraid. I can sense it. They’re afraid of losing you.”

“If only that were so. Truth be it… I am merely one of many blades.”

“Liar. But then you were always too humble to appreciate the titles they’ve bestowed you.”

“I could care less about them. Right now all I care about is you.”

“Prove it.”

“As you wish.”

-- Sineru & Artyris

During the initial years of the war between the Republic and Sith Empire, love bloomed between the young Jedi warriors, Sineru and Artyris. Though they came from different walks of life, conceived from the wombs of different species, their bond in the Force made them inseparable. When they were mere apprentices during the Sacking of Coruscant in 3653 BBY they were young lovers much like their masters, who were themselves advocates against the suppression of emotions that were considered beneficial for a Jedi’s mental and physical wellbeing. To them, love was not a weakness and valued the curious virtue of committing to a chosen mate, much to the order’s chagrin. They were not fond of what they considered a dangerous perversion among their ranks.

Though both their masters perished shortly after the Sith Empire revealed itself to the galaxy at large, their unconventional wisdom carried on with the lethan twi’lek and her mirialan lover. Still, their growing responsibilities within the order strained their relationship till one day Sineru delivered an ultimatum to Artyris. She wanted him to abandon it with her and journey to the Outer Rim, where they would live together in peace and answer only to each other.

Despite his love for her, Artyris refused. His concern for the Republic’s future troubled him to no end and he became increasingly sceptical of their chances to defeat the Sith Empire when the alternative was far from uncorrupted. He contemplated the notion of abandoning them for Sineru’s affections yet argued that, had they ran away, it would only delay the inevitable. He wanted to protect, even if it meant surrendering his emotions to fight an eternal war.

She did not give him the opportunity.

She disappeared soon after his decision, abandoning the Jedi Order and him. He believed she could not bare to see him die, believed the Republic was doomed to fail in their lifetime. He never knew she left out of fear of playing her part in it all, never knew that she thought she would be their destroyer. Their end.

He fought on, praying they would meet again so he could tell her what he wanted to say long ago.

He got his chance, years later. It was a reunion they never thought they’d see.

It was a reunion of many revelations.

The galaxy’s woes could wait a little.

And I fear that if I divulge anymore lore than that I’d be giving away the story!

And if the location looks familiar, the world of Jajek 5 is like that…
