"Seems we're heading back to the Temple, huh?" Valery asked as soon as morning sunshine had woken her up, and forced her to roll over to face her husband. During the night, she had gotten what she first believed was a dream, but as soon as she saw the golden hall, its doors, and felt Kahlil's presence within the dream, she knew it was something more. It was a premonition they shared through their bond at night.

A new trial awaited them in the depths, and she knew she couldn't ignore it. Both because of the thrill and how important these challenges could be for the wider Galaxy.

"Does mean we have to get up though, and I was so comfy..." she smirked and pulled his arm around her while nestling up against him. This was going to be s big day - she could feel it.

But that didn't mean she couldn't enjoy her time with him just a little longer.

Kahlil let out a heavy, heavy sigh as they both seemed to awaken at near the same time. Not a dream, but a vision. And in the morning, no less. He was, unfortunately, incapable of getting back to sleep himself so he stared up at the ceiling. But it didn't stop him from reaching over to hug Valery close regardless.

"They can wait. If they want to wake us up for sleeping, they can wait."

"Mhmmm~"

Valery happily rolled up into his embrace and tenderly brought her hands to cup his cheeks and kiss him on the lips. "But I think you just want more cuddle time," she flashed a smirk and looked him in the eyes for a long moment. After their vacation and all the time spent with the kids, Valery was finally relieved of stress.

She was feeling amazing and it gave her a lot of strength for the more serious missions as well. Something told her today would be one such mission, given the fact they had shared a vision about it.


"Not that I'm complaining..."


 

Kahlil_Div2.png

"And why wouldn't I?"

He smirked playfully, leaning over to plant a big kiss to her forehead. But, he did detangle from her enough to sit up and stretch. He did want more cuddles, but maybe they shouldn't. And if she wasn't going to stop him, then he'd have to be the adult.

"C'mon, we do need to at least check it out. If one of those creatures got free and is threatening people, we can't stay around huh?"

Valery didn't move, even as he sat up and stretched.

With her hair still messy, her face without make-up and tired eyes, she looked up at him and crawled closer to wrap her arms around his waist. An attempt to pull him back down for 5 more minutes, really, but she knew deep down that he was right. Something important was waiting for them, so she really had to get up for it.

But she made no move yet.

"...do I really have to?" She puppy eyed him, but after a long moment, sat up on the bed next to him and remained still like a total zombie.

She always got up early, but this was not her Morning.


"We can leave the kids with Bee, right?"

"Hnngh," Valery groaned and leaned into him with her side, at least until he stood up and resisted her puppy eyes drawing him back in. "So close..." she said with a smirk before she got up to get dressed herself. Not into the more casual clothes this time, but full Jedi gear. She then strapped her lightsaber to her belt, holstered her pistols and turned to him.

She looked ready, far more than she had on recent missioms together. There was no more physical fatigue and her spirit was much stronger too.

"I wonder what this one is all about. It's the first time we see a vision regarding this whole thing. Maybe a more direct threat to us or a planet far away? The others were more contained." They had the huge serpent within the Temple, and the creepy monster in the mist.

It almost felt like this next threat was coming for them.



 

Kahlil_Div2.png

"That's true.."

Kahlil pulled on his tunic, making sure it was fastened properly before looking back to Valery with a more concerned expression. It was vastly different to get a vision of all things. He hooked his lightsaber on his waist before flashing a more confident smile. Whatever they were about to face, they could handle it together for certain.

"You ready?"

"I'm alway ready," she said with a smirk. "Except for when I'm not but today, I feel great." All week she had been feeling great, really, so despite the more serious threat that seemed to be coming up as their next challenge, Valery wasn't worried at all. She felt at her strongest and together with him, nothing ever felt impossible.

Didn't mean that she wouldn't be focused, though. Serious slip-ups still meant injuries or death on the kinds of missioms they went on.

"Come on, let's head to the lake." She opened the door, waited outside and took his hand as soon as he stepped out. Running there wasn't going to make a difference, so why not walk hand-in-hand? They would pass by other couples, see some of the Epicanthix kids already playing outside, and the weather was nice too, with a clear blue, sunny sky.


"We really have to find a way to get down there without getting wet." She looked up, squeezed his hand and smirked. "My hair gets all...blegh."



 

Kahlil_Div2.png

"Oh trust me, I've seen you on your not ready days."

Yep, he was teasing her again. He smiled rather smugly as he passed by her in the doorway, but not before sneaking a kiss on her cheek and taking her hand to pull her along. He laughed, though, his gaze shifting down to her with once again another smug grin.

"If you're so worried about your hair, perhaps you should just cut it? I can't imagine it'd be harder with short hair in the water." No, he had no belief she'd even entertain the idea, but if she was going to keep giving him things to tease her about, he was going to use them.

"I could make a gateway if I took the time to. Time just.. Isn't something we've a lot of these days."

"Oh trust me, I've seen you on your not ready days."

Valery looked at him with shock in her eyes for a moment before her hand was taken. It didn't stop her from squinting at him though, "My not ready days are almost always because of you," she reminded him with a pout while he kissed her cheek. But, as always, the teasing didn't stop there. He looked at her with a smug grin and proposed something that had her jaw drop.

"Cut my hair?" She asked rhetorically. How could he even mention something like that?

"You like my long hair..." she pouted again and followed after him to the lake. She knew he was mostly just teasing her, but she did care about her appearance a little. So even as they reached the lake, he was getting a bit of a look.

"Alright, let's go see what's up this time." She looked at him a moment longer, smiled, then went into the water to start the swim down.



 

Kahlil_Div2.png

"You look fantastic with any length hair, love." He snickered a bit, squeezing her hand. This side of her, the vanity she felt on her appearance. He doubted many saw that from the Sword of the Jedi. It was adorable. And his. Kahlil looked ahead towards the coming lake before nodding in agreement. There wasn't any more time to delay now that they were here. He waded into the water, uncaring on how drenched his clothing would get.

<Here we go.>

Then he started to swim, heading right for the temple at the bottom of the lake.

Valery smirked and squeezed his hand back, "True but the long hair just feels like...me." She couldn't even imagine herself with short hair, though that also reminded her of something. "I remember when you had longer hair."

She grinned.

"The short hair looks best on you. Very clean look and... all mine." She smiled innocently and pulled him to the edge of the lake before she joined him in the water and began the swam down. Of course, whilst holding his hand the entire way there.

The moment the two arrived, they immediately felt s pull from the main chamber, where the statue was already glowing and reaching out to them both. A sign that this was important.


"I see you two are ready for the next challenge. If you fail this one, your people will perish."


 

Kahlil_Div2.png

"The long hair wasn't too bad. I had even longer when I was a boy, though that was just because I couldn't be bothered to cut it." Kahlil shrugged nonchalantly. It's not like he looked terrible with long hair. He just actually cared how he looked now, especially around Valery. There was nothing like knowing her heart was racing whenever she did look towards him after all. Once they arrived he traced a different rune in the air. Which dried them both off pretty quickly.

And paused. He stared at the figure before clenching a fist. Narrowed his eyes.

"Then there's no reason for theatrics. Open the way and tell us what we'll find, quickly if possible."

"It wasn't but now..." she looked at him and bit her lower lip to make her point clear. Even after 10 years of being married, she still felt the butterflies and had her cheeks burn when he winked, smiled or especially when he took off his shirt. Not that she'd tell him that of course-

Oh well, now he definitely knew if he didn't already - She was crazy over him and she couldn't hide it. She loved him far too much to ever want to hide it.

The two Jedi then arrived at the Temple and were greeted by the statue. The eyes glowed again, and his voice rumbled in the deep, "The way need not be opened this time, Master Jedi. Your next challenge is on its way." This time, it wasn't a door that appeared, but a mirror. In its swirling glass, the two could see the settlement, and up in the sky, it looked as if a meteor shower was coming down towards it.

But they were not meteors - these were drop pods.

"Babe..." Valery frowned but the statue was not quite done yet.


"You two are strong, but even the greatest warriors need allies to confront the biggest threats. Lead your people, or they will fall."

"The Epicanthix have survived far worse than an invasion."

Kahlil stood taller, narrowed his eyes. Squared his shoulders. The Zambrano children had all been taught how to be a soldier as much as they'd been taught how to be Sith. Right now, just standing here meant their people weren't being filled in. And he wasn't too keen on just staying here any longer.

"Open the portal already. You're wasting far too much time."

"It'll be okay," Valery said with a more reassuring tone, as she reached up to squeeze her husband's shoulder. He felt more intense to her now, and for good reason too. She just wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to be too much on him - he was the Epicanthix by blood, but she was his wife.

She would never leave his side.

"Take us to the town hall, please. To Adonis," Valery said and the reason was simple. That's where his people would turn to for guidance right now, both from Adonis himself, and they would be hoping for the two most renowned Jedi to show up and help defend their home.

With another golden door, the Jedi appeared in front of the large city center, and up above were the meteors. It was like a flashback to Empress Teta, when they lost their home for the first time fighting the Maw.


"We won't let them take our home. But we will need to coordinate them."


 

Kahlil_Div2.png

"Oh, it will be fine."

Kahlil smiled down towards Valery, then pulled open the door to step into town. There was no reason for them to waste time going to the temple as they had. It was frustrating, but at least they were able to arrive. And he didn't waste any time giving out orders. "Gather up the kids. Get Aris and Vera to help protect the others, not just ours." He glanced to Valery, just for a moment, then stepped into town.

No time to waste.

The Epicanthix were just as quick to react. The loss of Panatha was already a heavy weight on their shoulders, and met with a new threat they didn't hesitate to follow Kahlil's orders. They split off into groups, readied and prepared their weapons. Fell into ranks. It didn't matter if they were official soldiers or not, all Epicanthix were trained in the art of war, and for now Kahlil was leading the group from the front. Defensive lines, then preparation.

The drop pods would land soon.

"Wait," Valery said before he was able to step into town. She then stepped closer and kissed him on the lips. A short and sweet one, but she always felt it gave them both a lot of strength before battle. Not that she was overly worried today, but it never hurt and she loved the tender moments.

"I'm getting the kids to safety but stay in contact. I'll help wherever I'm needed, love." She winked and while he began to lead and coordinate the Epicanthix, Valery rushed off towards their home. She was definitely worried the kids would be scared, but as she arrived, she found the complete opposite. The triplets were dressed, wearing their shoes and holding each other's hands to stay close. Vera and Aris were in their Jedi gear, with Seszil floating around them, and they seemed serious.

"We got this, Mom." Vera smiled and looked at Aris while Valery just blinked and looked at them, unsure if she should be shocked or just proud.

"We'll get the other kids and hide in the bunker. You should help Dad cover weaknesses in the defenses. I saw they might break through on the left flank."

<...Babe, are you hearing this?> Valery asked while she watched Aris and Vera guide the little ones away. Of course, Valery was still staying close and watching them.

Meanwhile, up above, strange ships could be seen dropping their pods down towards the surface. Some larger ones slammed down further away from town, while smaller pods with infantry landed closer to the Epicanthix Defenders. Out came people in heavy armor with helmets that hid what they looked like, and all of them wieldes blasters.

"Find their two leaders!" One of the commanders called out, referring to the real reason they were here. They wanted the Sword and Shield, and it seemed they were apart right now.




 

Kahlil_Div2.png

"We won't let anyone get harmed."

Aris nodded in agreement with Vera, already ushering the triplets into a carriage so he could pull them along to the bunker. Seszil would be able to handle swinging around and cutting through any enemies to protect them, if they came across any. And with that he was already moving, pulling along the cart itself with the triplets who seemed none the wiser to the real danger around. <I am. They're doing good.>

Kahlil spared a thought back to Valery, but his attention remained focused on the battle that had begun. The city was built for beauty, but also for battle. The winding roads, the buildings themselves, they were all sturdy and ready for any kind of siege. Not that that was the plan here. Once the pods landed, the city open fired as different regiments of the militia let loose with unforgiving and accurate shots.

Kahlil himself stood at the front, saber in hand as he stayed alone out in the open. Leading from the front was the only way he was taught how, after all.
