"Settling in?"

Jax could see his father Darth Carnifex approaching a dark room flanked by what appeared to Sentinels. He approached at bed of a pregnant woman her large stomach suggested that she was ready to give birth very soon. Jax squinted realizing that it was his wife: Jairdain Ismet-Thio . Despite being bounded and at the mercy of the Dark Lord. Jax could sense that she remained calm, defiant against the Sith Lord. But Jax could sense fear inside of Jair. It wasn’t for herself. Jair was the most selfless person Jax knew. However, when Jair placed her hand on her stomach, it was made apparent that she was worried for their son.

And now Jax was worried as well.

“Jair…..” Jax wanted to say but his mouth was shut tight. Lips stuck together as if they were stitched up. He wanted to reach out to her but his arms refused to move. He felt like he was trapped behind a window tied up and forced to watch the horror unfold.

"What matters is why you brought me here at all."

The image slowly became a bright white. Jax shut his eyes a wanted to scream out Jair’s name but instead his skin was greeted by a sudden cold. Jax opened his eyes the first thing he saw were thousands of bubbles surrounding him. Straps were wrapped around his burnt body as the bacta started to drain.

“Jair……” the bacta mask was removed from Jax’s mouth and bacta tube opened. Jax placed his feet on the metal ground shivering as the medical droid handed him a towel.

<Master Thio.> the droid said. <I apologize for disturbing your session. But you have a visitor.>

Jax wrapped his towel around him closing his eyes and sensing a familiar presence heading his way. A pissed off presence.

“Tell her I’m on my way,” Jax muttered as the medical droid exited the chamber.

Jax was once again beaten down and left for dead. However, the consequences was devastating with his wife and son taken by his father. “What have I done?” Jax muttered slowly slipping into his clothing.

Her stomach dropped. A deep concern overwhelmed Dreidi for hours, only growing stronger and rippling harder in the Force. Her mother was in deep danger. There was no question about that. Organising her students, Dreidi ensured that the temple would be fine in her absence since Dreidi had no clue what could have occurred or when she might be able to return. But she did know that her mother needed her and Dreidi was not going to lose another parent. Grabbing supplies and the necessary armour and equipment, Dreidi ensured that she was prepared to travel to days, possibly far longer depending on what had happened. First though, Dreidi needed answers and she knew exactly where to find them.

The reports had come in about the High Republic getting trapped by the Sith on a planet, it was clearly that event in which her mother suffered whatever fate that caused the ripples in the Force to Dreidi. The witch knew that she would be able to find her so-called step-father somewhere on Naboo. Dreidi was already gritting her teeth at the prospect of this since it was not something that Dreidi was keen on interacting with. Her emotions were high and she was not going to be self controlled as she had been more lately around Jax. But her mother was still heavily pregnant and Dreidi was furious that someone would allow Jairdain to get into a dangerous situation in that condition.

Landing on Naboo, Dreidi made short work in finding Jax's location. In a bacta tank, it seemed the fool had gotten himself nearly killed. Dreidi mused that this was a sign that he had not tried hard enough to save her mother. Since Dreidi would die before allowing her own son or partner to be captured. Perhaps that was the level of dedication that came from her parents. Something lacking in others, clearly. Dreidi stormed into the hospital, the presence she wielded was not one of a loved one, a concerned Jedi or just looking for answers. She was a furious witch. When the droid informed Dreidi that Jax would be on his way, she waved her hand and sent the droid crashing into the wall. There was no patience and there was no allowing Jax to be in control of the situation. She knew this was his fault, that he had done something he shouldn't have done once again. Last time it affected her personally, leaving a scar.

This time it was placing her only parent in considerable danger. Dreidi had far less tolerance over that.

Teleporting into the bacta tank room, Dreidi stared with a furious anger burning in her golden eyes. A stare that would cause mortals to crumble on the spot. "What did you fething do Jax Thio?!" Dreidi cursed loudly, there was no sympathy for his condition. There was no attempts to be calm or restraint with him. Dreidi was done with being nice and allowing herself and her family to ignore the repeated red flags that this man was throwing around.

Green ichor Magick swirled around her hands, interweaving her fingers, tempting Dreidi to blast him against the wall. Make him understand how badly he erred this time. "What happened to my mother?!" Dreidi demanded to know.
