"I don't know where the Way is leading you, nor is it for me to know. But I do know that true coincidences are rare. Everyone has a destiny, no matter how they find their Way." Mother Skye replied. She spoke in a manner that implied a universality to what seemed to be a local religion.

Relina finished praying and made that little gesture again before rising and sheathing her sword. She then remembered her sister's words, looking to the statue representing Athena. She would stare at it for a long moment before turning toward the Priestess and Josh near the saint's statue. Giving a nod, finally, she'd move back to the priestess and said something in Hapan.

"Please excuse us, dear one." the older woman said before departing into a small room within the temple. They wouldn't be long.

"The way, or the Force as I like to call it... Has led me to ups and downs, Madame" He would respond calmly, curtly, and with a small smile. "It's led me to the highest of highs, the career highlights.... Master... Grandmaster... Grand Admiral... But it has also led me to the lowest of lows... Betrayed, self-exiled... Disregarded... So if it were to lead me here for one reason or another, it wouldn't surprise me one bit" The Jedi would reveal. "But it is an unpredictable thing...."

He would nod then, allowing the two to exit for the time being, to do... Well, whatever it was they did.

"Te'ta'xida." Relina said as she left the room with Mother Skye following a ways behind.

"I will keep you and Lady Alessandra in my prayers, dear one. Whether you are conscious of it or not, the Way stirs within you and you walk its path, but, please don't give up on your faith." The elder Priestess said. "Whatever you believe, just believe it... there are many paths to the Divine, but fewer roads lead to the Abyss. Never give in to hate. That leads to evil."

Relina hadn't discussed with her the dreams she had been having, or the recurring Apollyon theme thereof. She had opted to leave that between the Goddess of Wisdom and herself. "Yes, Mother Skye. My pain, my fear belongs to the Divine. It is like air. It is like water." she recited. It was something the priestess evidently drilled into her head in that brief confession session.

She would then rejoin Joshua, looking up at him. She seemed a little bit more relieved.

The Jedi would nod before sitting down and crossing his legs, deciding to close his eyes, relax and meditate while Relina and her "Mother" would do whatever it was they needed to do. He didn't know how long it had been before they would return. He had plenty of emotions in his mind, from the last few days filled with conflict, to the night before, to the emotions that this trip had brought out - he wanted to relax, gently sway those emotions away, and clear his mind to be a man anew again.

He didn't know how long it had been - but once Relina and her "Mother" had returned, the Jedi would rise to his feet, his eyes slowly opening as he looked over at Relina. She seemed to be relieved herself, and he had to wonder just what she had done in there.
