Underworld Witch
The Vahla were a subject Maiev had rarely explored over the years. Her father had supposedly been one, but she had never met him - and for all she knew he could still be alive somewhere in the galaxy. Though the witch had never really had anything to go on. Her mother had died merely minutes after giving birth, and Kalax was certainly not going to bother telling her.
Even then, she doubted the spirit had information on him.
But it was the species in general that had always caught Maiev's attention, how could it not when it made up roughly half of her very being.
For years it had all been Dathomirian this or that, whether it was being raised as a supposed second coming of a deity. Or living and training out in the Wilds with Vae. The witch had practically pounced at any chance to explore her Vahla roots. But the past attempts had always been dismissed by Kalax, who heavily favoured continuing Maiev's training out in the galaxy. And as it had been a habit, Maiev slowly pushed those plans aside as she got lost in her exploring.
Now though, she was taking the time to follow a solid lead she had recently come across.
Apparently a small dark cult had situated themselves within the Yavin System during the time Clan Rekali had a presence there. Whether they still did these days, Maiev wasn't sure. But what she did know was the Clan had discovered them years ago and 'cleansed' their base of operation. Now there was an enclave hidden somewhere deep in the jungle, sealed away from galaxy with a rumoured item still tucked away inside.
It was a tome, something of supposed great relevance to the Vahla. Clan Rekali had apparently either failed in finding it, or had never known about in the first place. The only reason Maiev knew of it was because they hadn't managed to capture all of the cult members. One had managed to slip away, and as it always was; rumours spread and eventually one managed to stick.
Namely she knew where one of the enclave's entrances were located. How Maiev was going to get about getting in, was another thing entirely.
