As if stepping through a door, Lysire lead Duncan in to the galley of some strange ship. It was a clean ship, almost spotless. Sitting in a corner was Jedi Master and Legendary Jedi Hunter, Urias Chun. His knees pulled up near his chest as he mind slipped between mediation and awareness. On the other side of the Galley, two woman set sipping coffee together. On the far side of them, a child set with a plate of food before him. It was at that moment Duncan realized that time for them had stopped.
As he took note of the two women sitting together, he knew that one was Jedi Master Falynn Drease, and known companion of Master Chun. The woman sitting across from her had made it a point to become a mystery to everyone, including the authorities. For Duncan though, he knew her like he knew himself. The knowledge was just there in his mind. Her name was Anastasya Hunter, and a well-known, or unknown more to the case master criminal. One of the only hackers in the entire Galaxy to Hack the banking clans.
But beyond even that, Duncan could see more than that. He knew that her real name was Jenna Etison. He could see her life before him, as if looking in to a window. She had always been a gifted young girl born to a wealthy family on Coruscant. As a child, she excelled at science and mathematics. That was until the day she was kidnapped by a ruthless slaver by the name of Joff. She and her sisters were stolen and subjected to horrible acts of brutality of the likes that made Trysta’s story appear like a Sunday outing.
As he scanned the other woman, Jedi Master Falynn Drease, he could see that she was an older sister of Jenna. Her real name was Falynn Etison, and a former Jedi Padawan. Taken by the same kidnapper and sold to the Hutts as a slave. Her life was not as harsh as her sister, but still it left its scares on her. To Duncan’s surprise, he saw how she struggled to heal those scares within her. To guide herself back to the light despite all that she had lived through. He also saw her deep routed love for Master Chun, and their son. The child sitting on the inside of the booth and next to his mother.
Duncan searched the minds of the two sisters and saw that they were nothing alike. One was a hardened criminal, while the other one was a loyal Jedi Master. What bounded them together was their shared past. This group had at one time journeyed together. It was during the time that Master Chun had gone over to the darkside. There he bought Falynn for a night with plans to use her flesh. She had been ordered to murder the former Jedi Hunter. After defeating her, he spared her life in exchange for who commissioned her to kill him. That set him on the path of Joff and his slaver empire.
During this wild adventure, the Fallen Jedi pursued those who would prey upon children. During this adventure, the pair fell in love. At the end of this hunt, Joff laid beheaded, his slave empire in ruins, Felynn was reunited with her two younger twin sisters, Jenna and Renna. Duncan turned his attention to Master Chun. He could see the rage and anger within him. Master Chun was a tornado of emotions on the verge of explosion. Despite this, he excreted great control over these emotions. Duncan could also see the connection to himself. Master Urias Chun was Duncan’s older brother.
“We have been more than just guides to them,” Lysire said softly as she moved through the Galley. “We have witnessed to the struggle between light and dark. A struggle that was meant to continue. Or so that was what our teacher told us.” She moved toward Urias, “We don’t believe that. Abeloth and her children actively thumbed the scales in their favor for as long as many races have existed. We moved back to the beginning of this conflict and found that this truth remained no matter what. We chose to not only restore the balance but also thumb the scale in favor of the light.”
“But more than that, we chose to end this conflict once and for all. We found a weakness in the walls of the prison and cracked the walls. We set Abeloth free,” Lysire said plainly as if her actions had no consequences.
