LONG HAVE I SLUMBERED.
Sazo Vass navigates her way through a dense jungle, deep in Haruun Kal. Soon, not even light can pierce the undergrowth as she goes, deeper, deeper. She moves as if a trance.
AND I AWAKEN TO A GALAXY IN FLUX. IN CHAOS. IN NEED OF ORDER.
Sazo finds herself in a clearing. Wildlife seems to avoid the clearing, so it is remarkable empty...save one sword, shoved into a buried tree.
I FORGED THE VASS WITH MY BARE HANDS. THROUGH SWEAT, BLOOD, AND TEARS. THEY THINK THEY HAVE OUTGROWN THE NEED FOR MY METHODS. THAT THEY HAVE TRANSCENDED ME.
Sazo walks towards the sword slowly, still in a daze. She comes to a stop, within arms reach of the blade.
She reaches out, slowly.
THEY ARE WRONG.
Sazo grabs the blade, and jerks slightly. The blade pulses, flashing faster, faster, green light filling the clearing.
I SEE YOU LAID BARE, GIRL. YOUR AMBITION. YOUR DRIVE. YOUR NEED TO LIVE UP TO THE CLAN THAT HAS FORESAKEN YOU. YOUR DESIRE TO BRING JUSTICE TO THOSE WHO PREY ON THE POWERLESS. YOUR INSECURITIES.
A spirit steps out of the blade. He examines the girl, gritting her teeth, struggling to hold onto the blade.
HEAR ME NOW, GIRL. I AM TALION VASS, FATHER OF ALL VASS. TAKE MY BLADE. USE IT. WITH IT'S STRENGTH, AND MY GUIDANCE, YOU WILL BECOME THE GREATEST JEDI OF ALL. PLEDGE YOURSELF TO DEFEND THE CLAN, AND EXACT JUSTICE ON THOSE WHO PLOT EVIL AND MISCHIEF, AND THE POWER OF TALIONIS IS YOURS.
The spirit's smile widens as Sazo jerkily nods. There is one, final flash of green light. The sword now steadily glows with an incandescent green light. Sazo, no longer in a trance, gives Talionis a few experimental swings, before sheathing it in a scabbard made from akk dog scales not too far away.
She turns to face us and smiles, her eyes momentarily flashing with the same green light as Talionis.
