Sleek and silver was their shuttle, a civilian transport carrying Echani and their escorts to and from the planet. Regular trips, so much so the transport passed inspection with little issue on route to Voss, and where necessary they had offered a decent enough bribe for passage in a convoy fleet. Landing was easy enough, he wasn’t coming as a Jedi but an archaeologist, an explorer. There were some things which couldn’t be left behind here, not just for any Sith to find and misuse. Though his lightsaber and sword were carried, they were not visible beneath the traditional whites the group wore.

The small group of five or so had secured much of what lay unearthed and abandoned on a previous visit. Now their small team of Echani worked in harmony and purpose to bring their digging equipment and their exploratory gear with them into another cave they were approaching. Walking as one body in time and motion, a display of the unified purpose. They reached the certain special cave, framed by rolling amber hills, and moved through grass which reached up to his knees, stirring with interesting and exotic wildlife. All of it marked in shadow and strife.

Taiden had no need to speak on things which were passed. Echani didn't speak much by voice as a preference, more by motion, and body language. Voss was the past. He carried it with him in his steps and actions. Kei was stoic but he could tell his old friend was mourning its loss in his own way, how he tensed at the mere mention of it. Taiden's experience of moving beyond even important parts of the past, had perhaps given him ability to do so quicker than that of his friend. That’s why the Echani had reassured Kei that his trips away would recover some small measure of what was left behind. Amusingly it was not often Taiden would find himself at a temple, doing something mundane like training, he was always on the move learning from the wider galaxy or perhaps with his head in a good book. This is what his life was, an exercise in communication through motion. Much like Nato'line's used to be.

The cave ahead had an uneasy feeling, the same as Kei had described. The dead but not forgotten lay here. It was toward the shadows of uncertainty that the white clad traditional Echani moved inward, to retrieve what they came for, glow torches lighting up the uncertain path before the five of them.

[Jairdain]

There were a few preperations left for Jairdain to accomplish before she brought her prince here to finish his training. Her end goal was to change him on an almost fundamental level. From a young man that shunned his responsibility of being the Crown Prince into the man he needed to be. Not long ago he had come to her asking for help and it was going to take time to do what was required of her.

This planet, one of the places she called home welcomed her. Here on Voss was both light and dark. Not as primal as that on Iridonia, but that isn't what she needed right now. Her focus and objective was to find a specific cave within the Nightmare Lands.

She had adopted some of the traditions of the Voss and what they did when traversing these lands. Special herbs, sayings and actions were taken as a precaution against the corruption here. Honestly feeling they didn't provide her any extra help, Jairdain still followed the ritual as she had been instructed to at the Shrine of Healing. Already a formidable mentalist, she was sure she could stay on these grounds and be fine.

Having given up the garb of the Jedi, she wore dark pants with a grey shirt. Over her shirt was a vest that matched the color of her pants and a dark green cloak on top of everything. On her hip was clipped a single lightsaber. Even though she was physically blind, she used the Force to see. Everything had emotions and that was her vision. Down to the smallest molecule, she could sense what everything felt like around her.

Walking at a comfortable pace and with confidence that wasn't a lie, she approached her destination. There was a change, she wasn't alone this time. Reaching out with the Force, she would attempt to get a feeling for them. She didn't sense they had ill intentions, but wanted to get that read of them unless they noticed her first.

Deciding there was no purpose in hiding herself, especially since she hadn't taken any previous precautions, Jairdain continued her approach of the cave openly.

[member="Jairdain"]

For Echani tiny movements of body language spoke words to each other, a whole turn of the body was like someone else giving a sentence or an explanation of something, its speed, its direction, how they looked, or tensed, or the delay, their poise and posture.

Amid the shadow untold truths lay within and without. When Taiden turned toward Jairdain at the mouth of their destined cave his eyes were watchful, his body language not guarded but his hand was close enough to his side. Very deliberate movements, all the Echani had stopped moving as almost one unified rhythm had halted when he did. The others hadn’t looked, eventually Taiden turned back and they continued.

Jairdan was walking at a comfortable pace but moved with confidence, which to him spoke of her character or purpose here far more than what she wore. She would not be here in the nightmare lands with such ease in her being if she was not powerful. This required preparation.

It wouldn’t be until [member="Jairdain"] had crossed their cave’s threshold toward the spirits within that a very humbly poised Taiden Keth would be just off to her side. “Fair travels to you stranger.” Well educated that most beings required many words, he offered many as a scholar did at times. “Are you here for the dig site as well? I believe this shall be the final day.” He couldn’t give a stranger his full purpose, but he didn’t make a habit of lying without cause, especially as most Sith could see through falsehoods. He suspected anyone out here was a Sith or an agent of theirs.

The tone was flat. Without little variation in it. His force aura light by its nature, and along with his emotions very reserved, not forthcoming. His body language might have told her that if she could see him, but his aura certainly would. Inside the cave however, it would begin to reflect what each of them felt and thought. Which is another reason Taiden was not quick to offer any emotion which might come back to him. Yet even in his reversed, withheld manner, the cave began to feel like that to him. It would be different for her. For Taiden it began to irritate the Echani slightly like a hard pressing sensation running up his spine, his race spoke through motion, so that's the way what he felt and how he acted was returned to him.

Here in this cave came what you brought with you, that is what greeted each of them, and something, perhaps more than one thing about this group wasn't right.

 

[Jairdain]

It was a few minutes before they actually met up at the entrance to the cave. How this man or group knew of it, Jairdain didn't know. One thing she did pick up from them was they did not mean any harm to her or anything here. What they were for was a mystery though.

This was not her first time here and she knew it wasn't going to be her last. At the time she had become a knight of the Dominion, her trials had been on Ilum. Same as when she became a Master of the Silver Jedi. When they had moved to Kashyyk, she had not moved with them and since then, she had moved on in her life and was no longer a part of them. Not wishing them any ill will, she was curious as to why this group was here today. Were they a part of the Silver Jedi or some other group that wanted to move in here?

That curiosity might be felt through that Force, but it would be seen on her face clearly. That was one thing Jairdain was unable to do. Hide her thoughts or emotions well on her face. Not having sight had prevented her from learning how to keep her face neutral.

She knew interaction between her and this group was going to happen. It made sense as they were all going to the same destination. When one of them spoke as she entered the cave, she stopped and turned his direction. Already feeling he was not a dark person, she was more relaxed than if he had been. His emotions he held close to himself, so Jairdain had a little harder of a time reading him.

"Fair travels in these lands are rare. No, I'm not here for the dig site. Preparation for a trial though."

Like him, she didn't tell the entire reason for her purpose here, but did not lie either. Her tone was reserved, but not emotionless. An underlying sense of humor showed under that reserved tone.

"I am Jairdain Ismet."

[Taiden Keth]

[member="Jairdain"]

A three quarter nod and slight bow as the lady offered her name, eyes open and watchful. “Taiden son of Keth.” He kept it short, the formalities that were expressed in motion usually required longer to convey. Most didn’t have the time for it, and adding ‘of Wodenstam or of Thyrsus’ was all but a lie anyway. The slight inward turn he made in his stance and hesitation on offering more was also to protect himself. No mention of being a Jedi or otherwise of course, not even a thought on it.

“Rare. They are at that. This place has a certain way of catching you off-guard does it not.” He could agree on that even with anyone. Taiden had made no attempt to discern who she was, precisely because he didn’t want to give more away than was needed. He assumed the worst to leave less room for error, as he had never met her before, his travels taking him all around the galaxy and anywhere but the temple all too often.

This was problematic. A sith preparing for a trial at the same time he was attempting to remove what caused most of the trial. They would have to be cautious. “Please. Let us work side by side. Perhaps we might offer some mutual assistance.” All the time these double thoughts were entering his mind of what to say and what to keep, the cave was creating an eerie feeling of separation inside of him, of duplication and not being himself. It was most unsettling.

As he turned to walk inward, he saw a suspicious reflection of himself looking back, putting it out of his mind and continuing to the digsite, as if used to the way the cave behaved. “Jairdain daughter of Ismet and Voss, has your Master sent you on this trial?” Keeping the formality, that much was natural, the voice flat with little emotion. Emotion instead was expressed by the curious and guarded posture he remained in, as he carefully knelt down to unpack his tools and join the others, she might still read as much in his aura if she was searching.

They seemed to be digging up some old jars. Nothing suspicious there then? They needed the jars but they needed what was deeper in the cave more. The cave though, whatever Jairdain was thinking or feeling, could well be reflecting that to her. Humor, reserved nature, shapes, images, family members, whatever path her thoughts or feelings originated from. For Taiden it began to feel wary and guarded, as if there were spirits crossing their arms not letting him pass. He almost moved away from a shadow of what might look like nothing to her, but thought better of it, walking straight through. Depending how attuned she was to what was here, she may experience anything in her mind or body. "The trials here, are somewhat unique are they not."

It was not long till a familiar face greeted them, that same shadow he had walked through unknowingly came alive. The shadow creature that guarded this place was awake.​

"Why have you come." The voice echoed to all of them. Drawn to places of energy and significance, this one had regressed to a former state since the Sith had once again taken control of the planet. An old friend wounded and lost. Taiden had come just in time.

 

[Jairdain]

The body language he showed was lost on Jairdain because of her being blind to it, but the sense of the motion was felt by her and she returned the nod and little bow. His name did not mean anything to her so she had no reaction for him if had expected one. People on Voss that weren't native were almost abnormal here now, but she didn't sense anything bad from Taiden or from the people with him.

In their brief exchange, a feeling had creeped into her. Like she was being watched from the shadows, as if something was there that wanted to kidnap her and hold her captive. It had happened before, more than once.

He offered for them to work together and then asked if she had been sent here by her master for a trial. For just a moment her thoughts drifted to her past trials. None had taken place here in this cave, but on Ilum both times. On Voss she had gone through a different trial and had become one of the accepted few outsiders to be called a Mystic. She shook her head only slightly before speaking.

"No, I am here to make sure the Prince I am the advisor of can go through his trial when the time comes."

Simple and true, there was no deception in Jairdain right now.

"This is actually my first time in this specific location, Taiden. My own trials took place elsewhere."

When she finished, an entity and voice came out of the shadows demanding why they had come. Looking at it through the Force, she did not know what it was or what it meant. Not giving into the voice though, she did not know how to respond to this being.

[Taiden Keth]

At the outburst from the presence, strangely many of the studious Echani working at the dig site carried on dusting off their relics and pots, carefully being sure to catalogue and treat them as precious cargo, which they then loaded them into a secure packed container, individual compartments reserved for each.

Jairdain’s manner and posture deceptively non-threatening for a Sith, had Taiden’s reserved nature softening, even as their spirit spoke to them.

“Tutoring a Sith of noble birth, quite the honor.” Taiden observed, in truth actions were all his people cared about, and so a noble would need to be well respected for what they had achieved. Having endured his own trials on Voss and beyond for the Silver Jedi, he could empathize with the task of designing one for another, to be suitable for them. The question was also a probe for a response at the word Sith, watching her body language carefully.

He had deliberately not been answering the hovering shade to his side just yet, until Jairdain might betray some hint to him that he could be sure of her allegiance. In fact everyone seemed calm or unalarmed at the shade’s appearance. So their cave was calm, so the Echani felt calm, a loop. Then a concentrated energy, because of all the focus on their task. Taiden’s senses sharpened. Despite the spirit ahead of them conjuring images within itself of different entities or colors to cause emotive attention or for fright, he didn't follow the bait, knowing this place.

There was risk here now addressing the shade. Only when he measured the risk worth the cost from revealing more did he answer. This sharpened focus he felt from the cave resolved him. “It has too long, we have neglected our duty to you, and for that I apologize.” The Echani dropped pretense. “I do not know if this lady is Sith, but we cannot risk you staying here longer under their rule. I will not leave you here to that fate” Taiden turned to Jairdain and prepared himself. Yet... there were two presences here, somewhere. That was the original Jedi Missed, a small clue. Three if you counted that nagging feeling of something being wrong that came up again, that pricking on the neck magnified by the cave.

“They all Left. Alone Again.” Aja Riou, their resident spirit said, forming into the shape of a female's face.

“The Sith Come. Come Come. I feel them.” An unfortunate side effect of leaving Voss, was leaving that which couldn’t easily be moved behind, old friends left to the Sith mercy. “I feel them here.” Aja said with some consternation. Taiden frowned and looked at Jairdain, the cave taking on a more unsettled feeling, images and fears of having let Aja and the Echani betrayed to a Sith forming up in Taiden's mind rippled outward. He pushed the door to her tomb aside and their stood Aja's statue gathering dust and cobwebs, her shade forming a likeness to as they saw her resting place. Only the inscription was wrong, both Jedi had missed it when they reported of the shade to the temple, and Taiden had not questioned it since, thinking little of names.

In his own way, Taiden slightly twisted the words she had said. However, they were partially true. Bradshaw had come to ask for help. That help would consist of tutoring him in some ways. As his advisor, she also did the same, just not with the Force. When Taiden said and assumed she was working with a sith, she would send him a dirty look. Neither she nor Brad were either Jedi or Sith. Jairdain was on the path of her people and was confident of her beliefs. Having been both Jedi and Sith, Jairdain knew this was the path she was meant to be on.

Not being able to continue the conversation at the moment, Taiden and shade took all of their attention right now. This was the Nightmare Lands and that something wrong was still there, it wasn't this shade. Jairdain was very much in touch with emotions and feelings, this shade was far from evil and apparently Taiden felt the need to remove her.

He opened something she could not see, but inside she could tell there was a statue. What the engraving was meant nothing to her since she couldn't read.

"Not all have left. I dwell here still."

It may not be a home she was at frequently, but Jairdain did have a home here. There would be truth in what she said. Why she said it though, she didn't know.
​
"I will help you, Taiden. If you would accept that. My word is given that I am not sith, though I have been. I've also been Jedi before too."

[member="Taiden Keth"]

 

[Taiden Keth]

Taiden had briefly been under a Sith’s hand, reawakened as an Assassin long ago before the crystal sleep and the netherworld stasis. So he wasn’t the slightest bit judgemental toward her, because he’d be judging a part of himself he’d made peace with.

“Then I apologize humbly for my mistrust.” He bowed more deeply, still eyes open but more respectful than withdrawn in his tone. “I confess I am wary. It is no small task to move a spirit from where she is tied to. I know not how or if it is even possible.”

Aja, Myn, or whoever her name really was, was of course upset at the news. “Then you are really gone, you are really not coming back?” Her voice drifted, running like water over the rocks and crashing in a small wail at the end. Taiden shook his head a measured amount and went to sit beside her statue, dusting off the plague to keep it clean. A gesture of sympathy as he sat in silence for a minute or two.

“You have not left.” Taiden was carefully considering what Jairdain was saying. “Do you think it safe to stay?” Here of all places, but perhaps then here of all places was the most safe, cloaked in the nightmare lands. The uneasy feeling whatever it was, shifted, Jardain might begin to suspect it was somewhere among them. Taiden however was still not attuned enough to the force to spot it, else he would have a long time ago.

The others were finishing up moving the pots and cataloging them. “Can we move her? Is that possible?” He asked Jardain. Taiden’s plan was to take the statue and all the elements of her tomb with him, but what if that wasn’t enough. What if she was tied to the ground, the cave rock, everything else that was this place? His mind tried to grasp the problem that lay before him.

Just as Jardain was perhaps answering. A second female shade emerged, feeling much like the first. Confusingly it didn't match the unease in the room either.

[member="Jairdain"]​

 

[Jairdain]

The sith had yet to move on to Voss in their conquering ways, When they did though, they would more focus on the destruction of the former Jedi holdings and likely would ignore the Nightmare Lands. Maybe some intrepid and foolish lord would try to come here, but Jairdain doubted that. She didn't feel the incoming sith would worry about an area that was already corrupted.

When Taiden said he was sorry for not trusting her, she understood why and gave him a small, but bitter smile as she nodded.

"It is something reasonable to do here. I feel no anger that you felt that way."

When he asked if she felt it safe to remain, she would give him the slightest of nods. It was safe at least for now. Before she could answer his next question though, another being or entity manifested herself. Jairdain was closer in touch with spirits and being a medium than she knew. A strong mentalist, she directed her attention to this second entity.

As the first one was directed at something, Taiden knew, this one was directed at her. This was not a soul connected to Voss at all, but one of her own people.

"What are you doing here, Trush?"

One of the few people Jairdain had thought of as a friend on her home. She had died when their planet was destroyed.

[member="Taiden Keth"]

 

[Taiden Keth]

Bowing again at her acceptance, holding it for a longer time. Easing up only when the second spirit was named. Taiden remained silent, and watched carefully the exchanges in the cave. The spirits and shifting meaning of what lay before them, what the mystery would unravel to be. Aja seemed fully aware of the second presence, how she was connected to Trush caused Taiden to pause considering for a long-Echani moment just what this meant about where they were standing. How had two spirits been attracted to this place.

“Hello Trush.” Aja was often forgetful, she forgot who or what she was, elements of her past blurring just as with the first time the Jedi had found her. Pieces came back to her about her former life as she was reminded of them. Aja's specter-like form settled by Trush’s side, returning to a friend or perhaps more, time would tell.

Taiden didn’t ask the obvious, waiting for Jairdain to explain more about how she knew them. This inscription below him of Myn Talus didn’t match either name. Was that why they were both drawn here? He still hadn’t considered the obvious possibility, looking for a more complicated answer as he often did.

[member="Taresa Kae"] the lead Echani beside Taiden had taken a step back, which was heavily noted by the group. Body language everything. Often accompanying him on his adventures, Keth and kae. The two had begun to form a very close bond the more they fought and traveled together, as was their way. The trouble was she was nothing like what she seemed. The tension in the cave was magnified as if the 'very' old Echani girl had seen a ghost, a good thing she was well disguised.

[member="Jairdain"]​

 

[Jairdain]

The spirit appeared to be a young girl of about the age of fifteen. Much younger than the other here, while the greeting from the first was more like they were equal, Trush acted as if the other was sort of a mother. In the spirit realm there was no distance between them. So while Trush was from Eraton and she had never seen this other spirit before, so did not know where she came from.

"Trush was one of my few friends from home. She died when our home was destroyed."

A simple explination for something Jairdain had no real idea on what happened. The plague blamed on the Force using children to the destruction of life on the surface. Maybe even her entire world was gone. When that light through the Force found her, she had not gone back to see what was left.

Gazing through the Force at her friend, she now wondered what had happened to their home.

It is gone. Our life. You seem to be the last of us Jairdain...​

Almost as if Trush could read her thoughts she answered. Not a totally clear one, but told Jairdain she was the last of her people. It was almost what she thought since she had yet to come across anybody that originated there. Two small tear trails were on her face as she looked at her now dead friend.

"I do not know what brought her here. She trusts your spirit though. Here in the Nightmare Lands, I do think they will be safe. It is already corrupted land, when the Sith do get here, they are going to focus on destroying what the Jedi left behind. Not something akin to what they are already,"

[member="Taiden Keth"]

 

[Taiden Keth]

Listening to the explanations and seeing her tears. He didn’t respond as perhaps a human would, small shifts in how he stood how he felt in response to the scene unfolding. Choosing to stand beside her, no touch because that wasn’t his way, but the presence definitely there if she needed it. “You loved them.” Friendship often became it, he had felt the same. Being there with her for solidarity. He said nothing, waiting for her to take the time she needed for as long as she did.

Only when she was ready did he speak again, that could be a minute, an hour, a day it wouldn't have mattered.

Taiden was struggling to leave the spirits. He wasn’t like Kei that could leave it to risk and chance, everything had to be carefully guided or assisted. Leaving them both to the Sith… “What would happen if they were to find them here, a former Jedi spirit and a young impressionable spirit?”

He paused again, silent and looking at the tomb, considering, taking his time. His words didn’t hold much emotion, they rarely did, instead very subtle shifts, but in that subtly if she was paying close attention she might pick up he held great conviction for healing others and attending to their needs. “What will become of them?”

Taiden knew little of the spiritworld, some of the netherworld having been trapped there during a crystal sleep but none of the spiritworld, something he’d not encountered beyond his visits here. Picking up an item of Aja’s she seemed to be regaining her memory as others filled in the missing pieces.

“We. I. I feel I can watch over Trush, she reminds me of what I used to be.” A watcher, a keeper, a Jedi.

Taresa Kae continued to stay well out of sight of the two spirits, attending to the belongings they had been packing up and whatever other strange sensation was here, seemed to ease but remain watchful.

[member="Jairdain"]​

 

[Jairdain]

Unknown to Jairda was the passage of time, she did not know how long she almost silently communicated with Trush and the other spirit. Nor did she know if Taiden perceived the exchanges shared between them. In what might have been heart beats or hours, stories of what happened were shared with her. How the two of them came to be bound here.

The presence of Taiden wasn't missed and even though there was no physical connection between them, Jairdain did use the strength he provided for her. Not turning her head as she spoke, but he might know her attention was on his through the Force, she broke the silence.

"I could take them into me. Their spirits, powers and abilities would become a part of me and they would live on inside my mind. It's called Spirit Walking, but if they and you wanted it, it could be done."

Pondering an answer to his question, Jairdain had the feeling of what might happen to these spirits.

"They would probably be taken in much like I am offering to do, but they would be prisoners to a sith mind and their skills and knowledge could be used against the Jedi. They could also be bound to an object and subjected to torture or even a final death."

What the others were doing with the packing was not a concern to Jairdain and her focus was divided between the spirits and Taiden.

[member="Taiden Keth"]

 

[Taiden Keth]

Taiden had perceived feelings not so much words, hearing the explanations at the end had helped him. Although he played his own feelings close to his chest. “Would the burden not be too much?” Taiden asked openly, “could it be shared?” Taking two spirits into yourself sounded difficult, dangerous even. He took others at their word more than Kei, not fretting but asking openly. Raised a traditional Echani that didn't pry too far after you'd committed to a path.

The Kethborn looked to Aja, “what about you, do you wish to spirit walk with Jairdain?” The spirit spun around once and came to rest by the oddly named statue, and waited. The room was tense again, watching, waiting. “Yes.” Aja would do anything to escape capture by the Sith, she wasn’t strong enough or collected enough to be among them. Still fragmented at times, and possibly whey she wasn't one with the force, but trapped here instead.

It would be down to Jairdain, “you must tell me how I can help. Will her fragmented nature complicated things?” He stood by her side, and looked at them all, the cave seemed to carry the hope that Aja now carried, Taiden’s feelings stronger beside her. Loyalty, duty, care for Jairdain and the spirit, held back behind a hard exterior, an unexpressed heart. Most of all, a want to stand beside her through whatever was to come here. If she was unable or uncertain of doing this, perhaps she could teach him?

In fact the longer Jardain was around Taiden, she might realise just how much emotion was there, repressed, a great cacophony pulled back from creeping into his posture, word, or gesture. "It sounds a bold idea" Taresa Kae observed, suddenly keenly engaged in the conversation.

[member="Jairdain"]​

 

[Jairdain]

Turning now to face Taiden and with as close as they were standing, there was a chance their clothing brushed against each other. Jairdain sensed he was keeping his emotions close, but what she did pick up from him was a sense of maybe concern. It became more obvious when he asked about the burden of taking on their spirits. He then asked if it could be shared and she gave a very small nod before he continued with his question to the spirits. The answer was provided and the question was raised about the nature of taking her on.

"That nature would never be repaired and would remain fragmented, but it would not complicate matters."

He requested she say how he could help, but before she could answer one of the others with him spoke. Directing her attention on the new voice, Jairdain noticed the churning emotions around them. Like a volcano that threatened to erupt, they boiled around them. It might be their own, the spirit's or even from the past.

"Not as bold as it sounds. It is a practice that has been around a very long time. It allows the living to take on the knowledge and skills of the deceased. There are two ways I know of going about it."

Turning her attention back to Taiden, some of it was still on Taresa in case she spoke again.

"They are willing to do it of their own choice. Yes, you can learn how to do it. I can tell you the basics and show you how when I take on the first of these two, if you wish. By taking them in, you'll be strained for a short time after and you will always have their voice in your head."
