Private The Cinnamon Rolls

[Trilla Kestis]

"Watch and learn. I may be only a child, but most adults can't do this!" She put her hands together. Green energy poured from her eyes.

 

[Trilla Kestis]

"Choono slalem denni tay'lori olee-ay. Lucheno vadem klavlane."

 

[Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri]

"What does that mean?" Kuxirra asked, raising an eye marking

 

[Trilla Kestis]

"No... it's not going to work here. We need to go to a planet with an old battlefield. One where there are dead bodies still scattered from years past. Then, we will have our army."

 

[Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri]

Kuxirra shook her head. "Oh, no. I am not fighting. Not if I can help it. If I have to, there is no way I'm killing someone."

 

[Trilla Kestis]

"I didn't say we would kill anybody."

 

[Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri]

Kuxirra nodded. "I know. I'm just clarifying. I'd rather get hurt myself than hurt others."

 

[Trilla Kestis]

The next day, they were on Batuu. This was the site of an ancient battle, littered with old bones and corpses of long-dead soldiers.

 

[Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri]

"Trilla...are you sure this is safe?"

 

[Trilla Kestis]

"Completely. Trust in me. Trust in the Force." Trilla raised her hands to the sky.

Choono slalem denni tay'lori olee-ay!

 

[Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri]

Kuxirra watched nervously, sensing the Nightsister magick and shuddering.

 

[Trilla Kestis]

Trilla opened her eyes. "Bones! Hear my voice! The Fanged God commands you!"

All was still, then the bones started to rattle and move.

"He will give you tendons and flesh and cover you with skin once again!"

 

[Trilla Kestis]

And the bones reformed into human bodies, yet there was no life in them.

 

[Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri]

Kuxirra watched, her eyes wide. "I've heard about the Fanged God from my parents. They said that he was also known as the Son, and in the Tano Tribe, Dorai. In all three, he's basically the Dark Side of the Force."

 

[Trilla Kestis]

"Link hands with me." Trilla reached out. "Their bodies have been restored, but there is no life in them. We must give that life."

 

[Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri]

Kuxirra took Trilla's hand and opened herself to the Force. "Now what?"

 

[Trilla Kestis]

"The Winged Goddess will fill you with renewed life!"
And it was done.

 

[Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri]

Kuxirra felt something awaken deep within her: as a descendant of Ahsoka Tano, part of the Daughter's spirit resided in her. It was that which awoke, filling her with more Light than she'd ever felt before. She gasped, and moments after the Light filled her, the spirit resumed its slumber

 

[Trilla Kestis]

"AWAITING ORDERS!" the corpses called.

 

[Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri]

Kuxirra looked at Trilla, raising an eye marking.
