    The stars stretched across the viewport, forming a hyperspace tunnel, and I breathed out in relief, kicking back in the pilot's seat with my eyes closed. I knew I had to go and check on the twi'lek woman, sleeping in the crew quarters, but I felt spent. Spent and worried. Tey with her...

    I didn't like the way he looked at me, with that ugly smile on his twisted face. … Let me grab my property first Totto's words echoed in my mind unprompted as I was lowering the blaster. Perhaps losing wings and a hand wasn't enough. Perhaps he needed a stronger lesson. … Teach him a lesson...

    Threadmarks: 7. That Wasn't on My Shopping List

    Two hours flew by. Sitting on the open ramp with a cup of caf in my hand, I watched the left-open main gate. The twi'lek woman didn't have the access code, as the toydarian did, and I wasn't about to create unnecessary obstacles, especially if she had to sneak around. Which I expected was the...

    Threadmarks: 6. I have a bad feeling about this

    There was something wrong with this toydarian. Standing to the side, I watched the cargo being partially unloaded by droids and tried to put my finger on it. Blue-ish skin, wings constantly buzzing and flapping as they argued expressively with LB about protocols. The toydarian was as normal as...

    "No!" I screamed, lurching up. My hand missed the end of the sofa, and I saw stars as pain surged through my head after hitting the table. Ouch. Massaging my head, just above my right ear, I forced a breath in. The dream began to fade, but yellow eyes—my eyes—still glowed in my mind, a wicked...

    Notification: I've updated all three first chapters of the "Knight" Arc. Nothing major, but a few scenes have been added.

    Being bored was no fun. Being bored and hungry? That wasn't even in the same orbit. Hours ticked one by one, and all I had for it was hot water—thank you, Engineer Valt—and hot water with caf. Two hundred-year-old caf, to be precise, long since turned into a brick. I found it in one of the...

    "Master," I said as soon as my call was answered. I was already at the MediCorp Group distribution hub, loading cargo. But droids did all the work, and I just had to wait for it. And watch LB-101 trying to command them. "You know, you can call me Yad now, right?" he asked. "In due time...

    Repulsorlift engines were fine. Well, three out of five, but I didn't need more than that. They whined a bit wrong at first, making me worry, but then settled, showing all green on the dashboard, even if it was on the edge of yellow. Did he really hope I would escape on this? Buckling up, I...

    Knighting was supposed to be exciting, really. A moment of recognition, a step into adulthood. Sure. Nobody ever spoke about an aching heart or the bureaucracy that came with moving out of your Master's quarters. Walking down the hall, I absently touched the spot behind my right ear and...

    Summary: Jedi Knighting. It wasn't what James had expected to happen when he awoke as Taren. Bureaucracy wasn't what Taren expected to face when he dreamed of becoming one either. But here he was, beginning his life anew in a galaxy far, far away. And the first mission assignment didn't wait...

    StarWars. A Lifetime with Darkness. Padawan

    Thank you! The mental health angle is a really tricky one due to the Force influence. Also, by the time Clone Wars happen, it was almost a thousand years since the New Sith War and Ruusan. They forgot how active war participation affects them. Even Yoda grew up in the post-war Jedi Order. What...

    For the first time in what felt like forever, Master Yad and I were back in our living quarters. It was deep into the afternoon, and the yellow, almost golden light of the local sun was casting rays across the living room, making dust visible in the air. It whirled left and right, following the...
