It happen one night......(by invitation)

[Ronin Wendigo]

It had seem about just about more than couple years ago when two them met. Caught in heat of the moment during one his many mission face death at moment notice. The two them got separated from the others left on their own they somehow got thru it. Found some days after by scout and one the Master assign to the mission. She had safely been return her home world and that was that. The two them parted and he not heard or seen her since.

But still at night when he was alone Ronin couldn't help think of her. Wonder how things would turn out different had he made different choice.But then again looking back know no matter what she safe was all that mattered. So after having had these thought for so long he would have all but figured let it be by now. If not had it been for summons to accompany one the Master to a accompany delegation to a secret meeting. Of which given the sensitivity of matter at hand no one aside from the Master were told who the attendee were.

 

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna was attending to the business of working out how to get House Organa involved in manufacturing, and entertainment. She made a face as she walked along her mind in different places. For some reason tonight though her mind had wandered back to the past.

She exhaled what had she been thinking that night, she thought of her children Faith and Theodorius. They were her heart and soul and both had turned into wonderful adults. Faith married to a mandalorian named Dar'yaim, and Theo had become Duke over House Organa. Ensuring the family was taken care of. Yes much time had passed and she had at first thought on that night a lot and to finding the father but she had in the end found nothing, and then from frustration and need to move forward she stopped and raised her children.

Arianna looked at the building where her meeting was to take place, taking a deep breath. She walked inside putting on her best smile, and asking where the meeting room was.

As things stand given a member of royal household was slot to be part the meeting. Ronin with one the Master assign to provide be both a impartial observer for the meet and if needed. Step in the negotiation to help settle any hitch in the negotiation though none saw any be concern of. But either way stick with usual protocol just the same message sent to him stated for one. To ask he come earlier to do complete sweep of the place. Comb thru from top to bottom make sure coast was clear. Safe for both side to proceed and secondly that he specifically come wearing his Jedi tunic.

At any case first order of the day as it was left out of the message to him for security reason. Was the name of Master he was accompanying. For all he was told was meet him by the doorway of the building where the meet was going be held. So that he did and was walking in head towards the door meet the Master.

Arianna approached the room, she was unsure. The rumors that one of the houses on Alderaan was preparing to make a political move and elminate the Organas once again had not fallen on deaf ears, they had all taken precautions to protect themselves.

Arianna not being a force user was one of the more vulnerable ones, but she was hoping to rectify that. Arianna stood at the door the guard there gave her the once over, and then wanded her for weapons. Yes it was in her stockings. She smiled, trying to remember she was a Lady, and right now representative of House Organa.

And so it was while he waited for the Jedi Delegation Representative for the meet. That he paused to peer in and glance about the room. That as he did so he could not help but overhear some the talk that was mill about. Regarding Alderaan and issue surrounding couple or so the rule houses. Talk of politics and the all so familiar topics of intrude or move that in whisper lean towards threats of possible move of eliminations. To which thought it was much of an uneasy and quite concerning issue.It did not somehow bore as much weight or deeper meaning to concern him much. Just as much when turn round as he patrol the ground overheard name of House Organa be mention.

To which as such memories of past mission came mind along side it came.Quite bit of shock to him when turn the corner catch gimps of Lady Organa. As she entered soon after she had been search and properly ushered into the meeting hall. Walking in as she did a faint familiarity connected her to him. That lost for words gaze over where she stood all but wondering......

 

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna stood talking with the Senator, "Yes the royal family is rarely seen anymore, but we have hopes that time in we can remove them from power and replace them with a family more fitting to the history of Alderaan" It was someone Arianna trusted to know her thoughts on the politics of Alderaan. She felt eyes upon her though, it was an odd sensation one where she wished she had brought the body guard with her.

But she had thought herself safe, she slowly turned her head to see who else was in this room, who could make her feel this way. And then as she looked she saw someone, from her past. Long past, the jade green eyes were a give away. Oh, my. She thought she turned back to the Senator and began speaking again keeping her mind focused on the ask at hand, she was afterall here representing her house, her home. She smiled. And wondered should she talk to him, was now the time.

It was then from his vantage point he could not help hear her voice. Still sweet and held such strong bearing that she no less held .

"Yes the Royal family is rarely seen anymore,but we have hopes. That time in we can remove them from power and replaced them.With a family more fitting to the history of Alderaan."

It was then he could not help but be lost in the moment. Reminiscing if but for moment the events of that night...with her. Which both made him .....knowing.....seeing her there draw him in . Gaze at her from distance the doubt no less building within. For however much he would wish things had turn out differently there was no escape the truth...facts that was stare him in the face at that moment. That see apparently had moved on and made good with her life....with career,kids and living the life as she wanted.

At which time even from the distance he could not help but feel protective of her. Extending his sense in the force to blanket her and no less long to keep her safe. Yet pause midway before he drew in too close to her.Unsure how she would react seeing how much time had passed and how thing ended between them last time. But unable to resist he all but stole one last glance at her. With his jade green eyes all but silently long for her when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Just as she then turn away back to the conversation she had with one the officials. As one the officer assign to the meet spoke that he he figured to leave things. As they were for now and get back to his own task at hand.

" Jedi Wendigo.....the meeting would be proceeding soon and we need ask your assistance. "

With that said he then was lead away to head off towards the meeting room. Where alongside one the others they began make clean sweep of the meeting room. Before the meeting convene and last of the official invited had arrive.

 

[Arianna Organa]

The meeting was beginning, Arianna nodded, and headed in to where they would all listen to one another and try to make a deal, or a compromise. something. She could feel it again though, this sensation that something, someone was watching her.

Was he watching her? Was he nearby? Was this a trap? Were they all in danger? Where had he been, and was now the time to make time to meet him later. Those eyes, those same jade green eyes, oh she thought about that night again, as it played in her mind, oh it had been a night she had not forgotten.

It was then the meeting was called to order.

[Ronin Wendigo]

It was then soon after being led away down one hall into the private side room ahead. Where he soon found and met up with the other Jedi assign to this mission. And together the two made a careful sweep of the room from top to bottom.As they did so he could not help but think of her and faintly sense her thru the force from the other room.Try hard as he could to focus at the task at hand knowing she was here made it all the more difficult at best. But at any rate after much thought and careful contemplation. The two them finished with their task and give the go ahead signal that the room was clear.

That soon after did the other representative were soon ushered in and took their seat. At which time he then excused himself to step out the room. Take the moment to try collect his thoughts.....clear his mind.....in order to focus on the mission. Rather than her for he figured as far she probably knew. He'd just been too pigheaded and no different from the other men. That he thought so little of her that he didn't even come say good by.....just walk out of her life as he did.

When truth was far from it.....but then too much time had past.And look at her now he figured she seem been better of. That time was least more kind to her . Though in back his mind he could not help sense nagging thought of uneasiness regarding the matter. But push it aside and try not think nothing much of it......even if it was seem unrelenting. At which time walk back into the building he then ops. To take another sweep of the place unaware of what was to come up next.

The meeting drones on Arianna listened arguing with the others trying hard to make her point. But lurking at the back of her mind him. Where had he been.

Why hadn't she looked for him. Why hadn't he. Oh so much complexity. She made a face. The meeting was breaking up, she needed a drink and food. And to call home.

Should she tell him? So much time had passed was it too late? She just didn't know. She stood up looked around. What to do.

[Ronin Wendigo]

And so it was that as he turn corner just outside the meeting hall that he pick up faint hum. That all the sooner made him shift his sense onto high alert. Pause momentary and with quick shift in his stance before others knew. He set off and cautiously track down the source of the noise. On to one the air shaft come in from the outside where up ahead a lone shadow loom. From which sense danger he went ahead and acted seeing the drone....lifting a blaster. Set to low he then shot at it and drop no time. He then comes close to try collect it soon after. But before he could it somehow self destructed.

Barely leaving enough tidbits for him collect to somehow figured out what it was. And conduction bit more investigating they soon conclude. It not be that much big threat to affect the security of the meet. At which time not wanting to alarm the guest. Who seem just their luck were just about go on short break.....give them enough time to clear sweep the meeting room. Just in case they had missed anything else.

At that time with that done and Master gone in with the security force to clear the meeting room. Ronin then with the other guards kept watch of the guest.

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna decided to take the proverbial bull by the horns, she walked over to find him. She spoke softly to the guards that stood nearby and pointed her in a direction. She could not see the look her gave her, what would it have mattered. A lady of Alderaan asking after a Jedi, nothing unusual in that.

She looked down the hall that she had been directed towards, she felt safe what would happen next she would not have seen coming. As she passed one of the doorways, it was as if they had been waiting, she passed the door, it opened quickly, grabbing her and pulling her inside. Arianna wide eyed screamed, but only once as they covered her mouth, the drug knocking her out. How would they get her out of the building.

A large sealed crate. The captors dressed in Republic uniforms, and pushed the crate out on the antigrav sled, heading for the doorway.

[Ronin Wendigo]

It took him while to get over and thru all the bureaucrats ..aids that were gather for this event. As all the while the nagging thought hung heavy in his mind that no less push him onward. To soon realize she was gone at which time thought at first. He didn't want to overly think much of it but unable shake the feeling. He eventually came forward to ask one the guard on duty by the door. Who no sooner came forward tell him that he did see her earlier and noted how she had ask round for him by name.

At any rate having had himself pointed towards the general direction she was heading. He then excused himself and head off down the hallway only to be soon.Come face to face with a seem unfamiliar pair of guards pushing a somewhat odd grav sled. Loaded with what appeared be a good size box down the hall to which. Given the situation earlier he approached to speak to but then. Asking where they were heading off to given that all the guards were asked to report their station. As Masters with him had order all the guards be accounted for. Before the place was lock down for the remainder of the day.....when out the blue. The one the pair of republican guard drew their weapons at him. Prompting an all out firefight between the them that ended in the wounding of one and death of the other. But before they could get anything out him he promptly aim the blaster to his chest. Kill himself and leave him all but alarm that something was definitely up.

At which time with saber in hand he then proceeded to cut thru the door they came out off. And catching the rest of them just as they were halfway down one the loading dock door. To which in haste he then reach out with the force pull to tug at the grav sled. Sending the box that was on it crash down on the ground.

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna felt herself rolling over and over, until she came to a dead stop the box broke on impact and she rolled out on to the floor staring up at the sky. "ow" she whispered, her limbs still would not move. She moaned softly whatever it was that they had used had made her body ache.

She tried to turn her head to look and see who had come, she could only lay there thinking about all the things she did wrong, all the things she could have done. A final thought this is what she got for trying to do the right thing. that was it, she was going to get the body guard, she had enough. She exhaled, the drug took over again her sight faded to black and she was out cold.

[Ronin Wendigo]

It was then in the midst of the fight that something brush faintly his consciousness. That made him turn and just in time note see her.....roll out the busted crate. Seem unable move much and moan in apparent pain perhaps from the fall. Which for whatever reason stir deep sense of anger in him. That it took more than couple shots connecting .... one to his right shoulder and another graze him on lower side rib. As he turn bit from the momentum of the first shot to be snap out the building rage. Seem in time before it escalated any further and it drop him to one knee.

At which time in the moment he swings his arm hard back. In a unfocused wild force push that drove quite bit everything round him back. Give him enough time to briefly catch her turn face to appear be gaze at his general direction. Before fall back to apparent unconsciousness. That did little to quell the anger and desire to come her aid.....that despite all the years that passed. He could not seem hide the faint fact he still cared for her so.....As such that despite his barely heal injuries he rush over her side. Take her in his arm in haste and with bit fleeting rush of adrenalin couple with bit force. He push to rush out of there with seem no clear sense of direction. Other than the desire keep her out harm and the two soon end up farther out. Away from it all in some none nondescript location before he collapse from. His drop out the adrenaline induced rush he was in earlier. His arms no less still wrap protectively around her Ronin slowly fell into a seated position. He then with bit strength left in him still turn her round. Carefully positioning to cradle her in his lap before exhaustion cause him slump over her bit.

As he slowly began to try calm his mind and enter into healing trance. To both help her and himself back into some semblance of health. To escape what danger awaited them as given what he witness back there. Made him somewhat hesitant and doubtful who to trust.

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna felt warmth, she wasn't laid out on the floor, and she might not be in a cell. Slowly her eyes fluttered open trying to focus on whomever had her cradled in their arms, lap. something. She felt beat up, like she had fallen down a flight of stairs.

She looked up, it was Ronin. She half smiled isn't that how that would go, seek and find. "Hey" she whispered, "where are we" She wanted to get up but couldn't her body just was sore. She tried to look around to see where they were at realizing she did not, she began to wonder.

[Ronin Wendigo]

It was if anything a trying and difficult task for him to keep still let alone focus. At the task at hand which entail for one reign in the beast...seething rage within that been awaken earlier. Before it got too much out of hand like before and pull him ever so precariously to the edge of darkness. As it feed on his most deepest fear and desire of which having her that close . Made things all the harder as faint memory of brief past they shared. Still linger deep in his thoughts that even with his eyes close . He could not help.... but feel draw to her still.

Despite the fact his whole body ached and felt slightly still drain or weaken by the ordeal. He no less still held on to her close as deep within. He could not help feel tormented when out the blue she seem have awaken.

"Hey."

She faintly whispered to him with slight pause before she continued on add.

"Where are we?"

And he he in turn with faint weak smile replied.

"Hey....i...i ...don't know? Sorry if i seem fail you yet again.....but was too strong. I couldn't hold back and i seem lost it back there.....i black out.......bit hazy but...your safe...and i ....be here for you this time round....."

It was then seem unsure Ronin paused lost for word at that time. All he could do was gaze deep into her eyes.

[Arianna Organa]

"Fail, what are you talking about?" Arianna tried to sit up, "Ronin you are not making sense to me." She pushed up all the way sitting there looking around. "This time around?" Arianna laughed, "what we had a one night stand we each got what we wanted that night, and then we both poofed"

Slick Arianna, she thought. He's saved your life and your what testy? She looked at Ronin, "you ok?"

@[member="Ronin Wendigo"]

 

[Ronin Wendigo]

It was then in midst of it all she came forth speak.

"Fail, what are you talking about?"

Seem looking somewhat lost and unaware of the situation at hand as he had. Try to sit up as she did while with listless gaze he then tried to shake off the haze from his eyes. As she continued to add speak soon after unaware of the seem invisible figured prowling about. Just outside of the light within the realm of shadows yonder....pair of slightly orange hue orbs.

" Ronin you are not making sense to me."

As she then was able to push her way up to sitting position as he on the other hand.

"This time around?"

Was in bit weaken state of unable focus appear be slow slip in and out. Able to control and fight the rage he felt within......that still linger.He then in silence close his eyes slightly hope in doing so he could better control the stir emotion he felt a bit better. But then out the blue with faint laugh she continued on speak still had caught his attention.

" What we had a one night stand we each got what we wanted that night, and then we both poofed."

To which did little to ease his mind as his grasp on this somehow slightly waned. That soon after once he open his eyes......now all but glazed over with fair mix of anger and sense of danger. As from the distance those pair of eyes in the shadows slowly close in just behind her.

"Get ....away....leave...."

He then shouted out loud and seem came to startled caught her off guard as she then came reply back.

"You ok?"

He then grit his teeth hard as the shadow in the darkness slowly closed in behind her. That given no choice reached out with the force to grab it mid attack. With its maw no less but few inches behind her Ronin was able catch it before it got her. With his bare hand now grab hold tight of its neck. Revealing if anything the danger bit more clearly now that it came into view.....a bio hound. No less perhaps sent to target Arianna at it were.....it fought hard teeth and claw get to her. But with Ronin fight to defend her fiercely as much the same. Left the two lock in quite a heated battle from then on. With the battle swing widely in favor of either one till eventually. With great bravado Ronin was able get the upper hand to hopefully end the fight. But not before the hound sense its end struck out with last bit effort. Stick out a last ditch attack with its maw to bite down hard onto Ronin shoulder.

As it did so injecting him with its venom just at the same time. Channeling the pain and rage he then went on the offensive grab to then rip its windpipe out clean. Kill it and let it roll off to his left side in the end......

This all seemed so surreal to her as she looked watching Ronin, the emotions on his face she didn't understand. What was he doing, she pulled herself downwards protecting her face burying herself into her own lap, what was happening, why was this happening. What was he?

She waited there listening, should she run? She couldn't look something in the air told her not to move, to stay where she was. this feeling of dread crept up her spine pinning her to the spot where she was. She could hear but not see, too afraid to look.
