Once More With Feeling ( Abbigail Knight )

Kinyen
Within the flowing grasslands of the peaceful planet of Kinyen stood a figure of red, a smear of crimson within the green. It had been a very, very long time since he had last stepped foot on this planet. The last time, he had met the Miraluka by the name of [member="Abbigail Knight"] . While their meeting was brief, he had formed a bond with her as any master would with a student. Sending her away with the promise of once more finding her, he quickly learned he was unable to.

Every month or so Krest would return to this planet, searching for any sign of his wayward apprentice. But.. After the first couple of months he had given up. Now it was more of a show of respect for the girl, a memory for a soul he thought lost. Dressed up in his rather normal looking armor, he would have two sabers on his hips and a sword strapped to his back. He wasn't sure why he was here, it wasn't the time for the visit after all, but he felt something calling him. Pulling him.
 
Abbigail had left the planet of Kinyen a good while ago, keeping to herself as she explored the galaxy around her, still looking for whatever it was she had been seeking the first time she'd visited the agriworld of Kinyen. It was a nice enough place, and she would have liked to stay and find Krest, but she'd gotten spooked by the bounty hunters that'd tracked Krest down a year ago. She didn't even know if he was still alive -- she had simply run. She wasn't proud of that fact, of course, but she'd done it, and that was that. All she could do now was promise herself that she wouldn't be such a coward in the future.

In the year that Abbigail had been away from Kinyen, she'd denied herself the luxury of a new master in the ways of the force -- not that she'd found many people who would have taught her, anyway. She felt that she didn't quite deserve it after she'd left her previous master in such a hurry. Still, now that a year had passed, Abbigail felt that it was time for her to move on with her training. The first step, for her, would be to find out what happened to Krest.

It was a soft daylight that poured over the fields on the day of her arrival, the cloud coverage just enough so that it would block the harshest rays but still allow for a bright, sunny afternoon. Abbigail had come back to Kinyen, planning to return to the spot that she'd last seen Krest, hoping that something would come to her. She knew any tracks would be more than cold by now, but she felt, for whatever reason, that if she went to that place, she might find something. Or perhaps the force would simply guide her to where she needed to be, as it tended to. She didn't know, exactly, but she stayed in the caves for nearly a week before emerging once more, having explored them thoroughly and even given meditation a try.

Wandering down the side of the mountain, sun shining down cruelly on her face in a way that would have been blinding, had she not been without normal sight to begin with, Abbigail took in a deep breathe of the fresh air. She sighed softly, speaking to herself, "No, it appears... I have gotten nowhere with this trip." She bit her lip in a moment of frustration as she finished speaking, walking through the plains at a rushed pace, her patience already worn thin after the week-long stay she'd had in the bleak, lonely cave systems of the mountains of Kinyen. That was when something caught her attention.

Abbigail was just about to pass by completely unnoticed, a few hundred meters away from where Krest stood, but something about the figure on the edge of her vision -- just standing there, as if waiting for something, or someone -- called out to her. She chose to approach carefully, stooping slightly so as to sneak through the tall grass of the plains. As she got closer and closer to the figure, Abbigail realized who it was, and for a moment believed that her mind was playing tricks on her. It was that same Aura she'd seen on her first trip to Kinyen, the same shape of the man who would have been her master.

Despite her thoughts that her mind may be deceiving her, Abbigail was overwhelmed with excitement, standing up quickly and letting out a soft cheer as she called out, "Master!" Standing only a few meters away from Krest, smiling like a fool and waving excitedly with one hand as the other stayed firmly at her side. Putting her hand down, now, Abbigail chuckled warmly and ventured to step a few feet closer, closing the gap between her and Krest, before suddenly stopping and pursing her lips, "Oh! Sorry.~" She said with a slight giggle playing in her voice as she bent at the hip, bowing to Krest respectfully and waiting to be told to rise.
 
A faint ping had hit the Zabrak. He, too, felt something familiar, something he wasn't sure was real. He felt her, [member="Abbigail Knight"] , like he did the first time they had met. Krest could only blink as he tried to figure out if he was going insane. Honestly, he expected he was. Yet the presence was stronger, and as he reached out, it was very real.

He turned his had slowly, wide blue eyes scanning to find her form. And he found her. A smile formed as he could only laugh, watching her run to him. He would offer his own wave as she ran, just brimming with happiness, with a huge grin on his face. Until of course she bowed. Another laugh would escape his lips as he waved her up.

"Don't you bow to me. You're alive! Get over here!"
 
Immediately upon being told not to bow to Krest, Abbigail stood up straight and smiled warmly at the Zabrak, fake eyelids closed as usual, making her look even more cheerful somehow. It didn't take her long at all, either, to throw herself forward, wrapping her arms around the man she'd met so long ago, and had thought she'd never see again. "It's so good to see you!~ I never expected to meet you again... I'm glad I did, though. How have you been? And... Where's fang?" She asked, looking around briefly for Krest's animal companion, a confused look on her face as she turned her head from side to side despite not needing to -- she'd grown accustomed to using the body language of normal 'sightless' people, as she called them, so she had a habit of making these useless motions.

[member="Krest"]
 
Krest would return the hug with a large smile on his face. She was real, and that was simply enough for him. Until she asked him about Fang. In truth, he had no idea what happened to his friend for a long time, all thanks to Vulcanus. Krest was tasked with killing his friend Fang, but instead he let him go. Only to find his charred body after finally getting free of Vulcanus's grasp.

But new life was found, and Fang had a son. Ber'reth would come bounding out of the field, already leaping to pounce both of them to the ground. He did not know [member="Abbigail Knight"] , but her hug with the man he did know was enough to show friend. Krest would fall, a laugh freeing from his lips as he fell.
 
Abbigail let out a soft giggle as she was tackled to the ground along with Krest by the great bounding beast Ber'reth, who seemed to be quite the friendly (and perceptive) creature. At first, the Miraluka girl didn't notice the difference between Ber'reth and Fang, who used to accompany Krest. As she stood up and focused on Ber'reth a little closer, though, she slowly came to the realization that he was a new companion. At least, it wasn't Fang.

A curious look spread across Abbigails features as she turned her head towards Ber'reth, considering him quietly before speaking up, "Krest... This is not Fang. What happened to.." She began to ask what had happened to Fang, but she quickly stopped herself. It was probably nothing good, and making Krest remember losing his friend would be a bit rude. She her face back to Krest now, smiling again and shaking her head. "Never mind. I'm just glad to see you again! How have you been?"
