Xavier Vi'dreya
Character
With Dranok vanished, Nina a distant memory, and the true Kara dead, Xavier had felt overwhelmed with loneliness when word of Isley Verd's death reached him. His last blood relative was gone, his brother was gone. He hadn't known what to do with himself, accept take some contract on the Outer Rim and not think about it. Not the most effective of strategies, but it worked at the time. Though recently, he'd felt something that alarmed him, something familiar, yet cold. He'd gone to investigate right away.
With the force as his guide he'd arrived at a station near the Lok system, Confederacy space. Aside from a Czerka Fighting Knife, he'd come unarmed aside from his strength in the force. As he stepped off the ramp into the hanger of the seemingly empty space station, The Vi'dreya began to wonder if leaving before his spear had been completed had been a bad idea. Somewhere inside, there was another person, one who radiated power and darkness in equal measure. Once upon a time, that was all he ever wanted to be, a powerful warrior with strength steeped in the Dark Side of the Force. But one was not a powerful warrior if some minor warlord who happened to have been a Jedi at one point destroyed their saber and nearly killed them. As for the dark side, he wasn't sure if he'd lost interest in it, or it in him, but his strength no longer came from his negative emotions alone.
Xavier knew who he sensed within the structure, but it didn't make sense. The Netherworld had stopped spewing out pretenders like 'Kara' so far as he knew, but all the same, he sensed the presence of Isley Verd, no matter how much he doubted it. If it was Isley, by some miracle, or perhaps the opposite, would he really have even recognized him? The boy had grown into a man, his hair had lightened and his skin had paled, he looked more like his sister than he ever had when Isley had last seen him, his Umbaran heritage winning out over his human one in the long run.
He cursed himself for even wondering, this was a trick, and a cruel one at that. Or, perhaps it was a trap, draw out the last holder of the name Vi'dreya and end the name before it could ever spread again. No matter the intent of whomever lurked in this station, one thing was certain; it was not Isley Verd. It couldn't be.
Right?
