THE REVENANT
The world was barren; nothing but a pile of frigid, black rock, beneath the pale rays of a dying sun.
What was once teeming with life was now little more than a graveyard, a place full of death and suffering, a place where the echoes of yesterday’s pain could still be heard on the whispers of the icy wind.
It had all happened so quickly: a flash of blinding white light, a deafening silence, and then a crack, so loud and frightening that not even the bravest of souls could help but cower from it. The fire that followed was so deadly hot that the smoke alone turned the writhing tendrils of the living plants to dust, and sent the flesh of every inhabitant into a frenzy of blisters and smoldering ruin.
When the flames came, licking at the heels of those who were fleeing for their very lives, there was no escape. Coils of molten orange and gold wound themselves around ankles and wrists, around waists and throats, pulling each and every victim down into a sea of living death, and dragging them into the abyss of no return.
Cries of horror and desperation and pleas of mercy faded out to nothing against the roar of the flames, the thunderous growl that was the call of the dead consuming everything and everyone, replacing sound itself with a constant, booming inferno of never-ending dread.
It was that inferno that I heard now, ringing in my ears with relentless vigor, the steady beating of the end of life, as I knew it. With each step I took, the crackle of the flames and the drone of a thousand anguished cries grew louder and louder, until I could do nothing more than to beg for my end to come swiftly, to plead with the God Yun-Yuuzhan to take me to the bottomless pit of liquid fire and let me join my crèche mates.
By some miracle I survived the massacre of that single day and night, when the night was turned day by the blaze of the flames and the flash of the skies; and the day became night as the black clouds crept after, suffocating the landscape and sheathing everything with their all-consuming darkness.
Why I should be free of the bloodshed of those hours I do not know. Only the Gods who have the circle of life in the palm of their hands can know it; but I am alive, breathing and feeling where I should be cold and still, and I am stuck, chained to this forsaken place like a prisoner.
Just like my crèche mates before me, I too will soon come to the end of my path. I know it; I can feel it in my bones, aching piously with the weight of everything they have endured from my time in this life.
The whispered wind chills ever cooler against my skin as the flames continue to subside, sucking every ounce of goodness from the surrounding environment until the only thing left is me, standing on the edge of a blackened, jagged cliff face, and begging to be free.
As my scarred and broken feet crunch over the skeletons of my youth, bowed before me on this sacred rock, I know it is time. I take one last step, one last breath, and then leap.
Whatever awaits me in the afterlife, I know I can endure it. If I can endure the pain of living, I can endure anything.

Maggy, you never told me you were working on a collab with someone!
...
...
But way to go! Nice start so far guys, and I'm loving the cover art.
Some things that stood out for me:
What was once teeming with life was now little more than a graveyard, a place full of death and suffering, a place where the echoes of yesterday’s pain could still be heard on the whispers of the icy wind.
Amazing piece of description here. I got the chills when I read it.
It had all happened so quickly: a flash of blinding white light, a deafening silence, and then a crack, so loud and frightening that not even the bravest of souls could help but cower from it. The fire that followed was so deadly hot that the smoke alone turned the writhing tendrils of the living plants to dust, and sent the flesh of every inhabitant into a frenzy of blisters and smoldering ruin.
When the flames came, licking at the heels of those who were fleeing for their very lives, there was no escape. Coils of molten orange and gold wound themselves around ankles and wrists, around waists and throats, pulling each and every victim down into a sea of living death, and dragging them into the abyss of no return.
Cries of horror and desperation and pleas of mercy faded out to nothing against the roar of the flames, the thunderous growl that was the call of the dead consuming everything and everyone, replacing sound itself with a constant, booming inferno of never-ending dread.
Here also. Just amazing imagery and description! You can really see it, and feel the horror. It almost reminds me of some of those scenes in those horror movies.... Only this is much better.
It was that inferno that I heard now, ringing in my ears with relentless vigor, the steady beating of the end of life, as I knew it. With each step I took, the crackle of the flames and the drone of a thousand anguished cries grew louder and louder, until I could do nothing more than to beg for my end to come swiftly, to plead with the God Yun-Yuuzhan to take me to the bottomless pit of liquid fire and let me join my crèche mates.

I could really hear his voice here; it's like the movies where you have the scenes narrated by the main character before we get to see it happen. It also reminds me of the opening to TTT where we see Gandalf fighting the Balrog, and also where he gets trapped by Saruman. Though the book version was much better.
Just like my crèche mates before me, I too will soon come to the end of my path. I know it; I can feel it in my bones, aching piously with the weight of everything they have endured from my time in this life.
The whispered wind chills ever cooler against my skin as the flames continue to subside, sucking every ounce of goodness from the surrounding environment until the only thing left is me, standing on the edge of a blackened, jagged cliff face, and begging to be free.

Whatever awaits me in the afterlife, I know I can endure it. If I can endure the pain of living, I can endure anything.
A really powerful ending guys! Definitely spoken like a true Solo. You guys use first person here to you full advatange.
...
...
Did I say I was only going to quote some of my favorite parts? *looks sheepish* Okay, so I lied. But I couldn't help myself!
You've got a really promising start here. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest.

REPLIES FROM ANT
DARTH_MU: Thanks for the reply! Of course we’ll add you to the PM list… we’re pumped you’ve signed up! Nope, Chak’s not dead at all… both Mags and I love him so much that we just had to overlook the fact that canon killed him off so bluntly. Yes, Evlyn is a Chissified human, though perhaps not entirely like the Fels… she was on Outbound Flight after all (if you haven’t read Survivor’s Quest yet, you really should… little Evlyn kicks butt in that!).
And yes… this is an Ant fic, so of course Tahiri will play a role… I can’t leave my favourite EU character out of anything I’m involved in. *giggles*
canadianjedimama: You’re on the PM list, thanks for your enthusiasm!!  And I’m glad you think Anakin is worth the price of admission… we think so, too! 
thesporkbewithyou: Hehe! Maggy and I kept it all pretty quiet… it was a good way to get back on the fiction wagon for both of us, it’s really helping both of us, I think, to have someone there to give a kick when we get slack.  We’ve pumped out an enormous amount of writing in just a few short days, we’re so excited about this, and we’re glad you are, too.
Now onto your reply (thanksies so much for the mega-response, too!)…
I’m so glad you loved all the imagery and descriptions in there… and your comment about seeing it like in a movie was just – wow! – it really made our day, so thank you, dear!
THE_PIED_PIPER: Another Chak fan… Woo Hoo!!! I never knew he had so many fans!! I’m sure Jag’s ecstatic… and I’m always happy when Jag’s happy, he’s just AWESOME!!!
An Evlyn fan, too, huh? I just love the gal, she’s a fantastic character and so under-used. I read SQ, loved it, and have had a bit of a thing for her ever since… and I’m so glad to finally have a fanfic where she slots in so easily into the plot.
Cheers for your comments, they were lovely! Mags and I are so happy to be finally doing something together, too! We’ve talked about it for so long and it’s turning out to be so much fun. Glad you came along for the ride as well.
Thanks a bunch everyone for your wonderful comments on our first post! It was so much fun to get back to my darker side again, and as Mags and I have been on a bit of a roll of late, we’ve got a few posties up our sleeves already, and churning out more as I speak! We’re hoping to get on some kind of schedule for you all, and it’s looking like a Friday evening (Aussie time) update every week. But we’ll PM you all, anyway.
Thanks again! Until next time!
Ant.

At least he would know what he missed all the time 
And Evlyn! I had forgotten about her since Survivors Quest! I'm so glad that you brought her into this story.
Evlyn rocks how can she be forgotten
Please add me to the PM.

Hehe – I told you meanwhile .. and after saying a couple of weeks ago we should write something together we finally found something and it was all so quick going that there was not much chance to tell
Thank you all for reading and your nice reviews

*nods* You guys kept it so quiet that I didn't even find out about it until I saw it on the boards. Then, of course, I spoke to Maggy over AIM and she told me a little bit about it. As for the amount of writing - that's how you know something's right. When the words just flow off the page like that.
And of course I'm excited! How can I not be, when there's something this wonderful here?
Now onto your reply (thanksies so much for the mega-response, too!)…
You're welcome! Though I honestly hadn't intended it to be so long. It's just... there was so much to comment on!
I’m so glad you loved all the imagery and descriptions in there… and your comment about seeing it like in a movie was just – wow! – it really made our day, so thank you, dear!
You're very welcome again! Glad I brightened your day. It was true, though. As I was reading it I could really picture it in my mind.
To Maggy: Did I not? thinking Mhh … it was rather quick and fast and here we are grin
No, you only told me about the several viggies you had planned. You only told me about this after I had discovered it on the boards.
Thanks, Sporks Ant has a hand for that
You're quite welcome. Well then, kudos to Ant!
I have to admit I can’t remember the book as well as the movies wink
Glad you like grin
Ah, you gotta read the books again then! They're so completely wonderful, it's insane. The movies really don't do them justice. *stops before she goes on a whole long rant*
Uhh … you might be in for a surprise
A surprise? *perks up* What surprise?! You can tell me!
laugh hugs thanks, Sporks
You're welcome! Looking forward to Frid - wait! Dern it, I won't be able to read the next post until either Sunday night or Monday, depending when on Friday you post. Darn it, darn it, darn it!

Maggy: Chak = 
It is not just an Ant fic I also like Tahiri .. and there can’t be really a fic with Anakin and her missing in action, no?
No, it is not That came out wrong... serves me right for writing replies when I should have been in bed.
Hehe – I told you meanwhile .. and after saying a couple of weeks ago we should write something together we finally found something and it was all so quick going that there was not much chance to tell
That's right, it really did happen rather fast. I've lost count how many IM convos I've had to save in order to keep all those little plot details we've been throwing backwards and forwards over the past few days! 
thesporkbewithyou:
And of course I'm excited! How can I not be, when there's something this wonderful here?
Aww... you are so sweet!! I hope it continues to be wonderful for you. 
You're welcome! Though I honestly hadn't intended it to be so long. It's just... there was so much to comment on!
Maggy and I really appreciate long replies, too, because we both know how long it actually takes to do them.
You're quite welcome. Well then, kudos to Ant!
*bows* Thank you.
Ant.

It had all happened so quickly: a flash of blinding white light, a deafening silence, and then a crack, so loud and frightening that not even the bravest of souls could help but cower from it. The fire that followed was so deadly hot that the smoke alone turned the writhing tendrils of the living plants to dust, and sent the flesh of every inhabitant into a frenzy of blisters and smoldering ruin.
Wow, such wonderful descriptions 
When the flames came, licking at the heels of those who were fleeing for their very lives, there was no escape. Coils of molten orange and gold wound themselves around ankles and wrists, around waists and throats, pulling each and every victim down into a sea of living death, and dragging them into the abyss of no return.
Again, wow! So vivid
It was that inferno that I heard now, ringing in my ears with relentless vigor, the steady beating of the end of life, as I knew it. With each step I took, the crackle of the flames and the drone of a thousand anguished cries grew louder and louder, until I could do nothing more than to beg for my end to come swiftly, to plead with the God Yun-Yuuzhan to take me to the bottomless pit of liquid fire and let me join my crèche mates.
Interesting I'm going to go ahead and guess that this is a Vongified Anakin Solo here, a prisoner of the YV since Myrkr who's been shaped
The whispered wind chills ever cooler against my skin as the flames continue to subside, sucking every ounce of goodness from the surrounding environment until the only thing left is me, standing on the edge of a blackened, jagged cliff face, and begging to be free.
As my scarred and broken feet crunch over the skeletons of my youth, bowed before me on this sacred rock, I know it is time. I take one last step, one last breath, and then leap.
Whatever awaits me in the afterlife, I know I can endure it. If I can endure the pain of living, I can endure anything.
Such a great post, amazing writing, Ant and Maggy You're so talented.
I have a feeling that this isn't going to be entirely in 1st person POV and this is more something for the epilogue Am I right?
Glad to see Evlyn in a fic and Chak too. Hardly ever see her in fanfic.
This is really exciting. Feel free to PM me when you update if you're so inclined.
Post more soon

REPLIES FROM ANT
Kidan: Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beginning. You’ve been added to list! Thanks for jumping aboard!
YodaKenobi: Thank you for your comments, we’re thrilled you loved the descriptions. As for your theories… we can’t really say at this point.  But I’ll just say they’re very good theories to begin with.
I can tell you that you’re correct with one thing – this won’t just be a first person ‘fic (how did you guess?) We’re so glad you’ve jumped aboard this thing, thank you for your lovely review, mate! You’re on the PM list, and will be seeing Evlyn very, very soon.
Thanks again, guys! Your enthusiasm is such an inspiration for Mags and I to write more, and we just love all your wonderful reviews! The next post is coming up very soon (tomorrow, my time), so you won’t have to wait too much longer for a continuation.
Maggy will respond to the last few reviews soon, so keep a look out for that in the meantime.
Ant..

You're quite welcome. Well then, kudos to Ant!
Yub yub – kudos to her
Ah, you gotta read the books again then! They're so completely wonderful, it's insane. The movies really don't do them justice. *stops before she goes on a whole long rant*
But they are so horrible long
No seriously, I have read the German ones, all pages
The English copies are on my shelves though the long explanations who Hobbit is related to whom and in what way just ticked me off to continue reading
A surprise? *perks up* What surprise?! You can tell me!
You continue reading – ya will notice
You're welcome! Looking forward to Frid - wait! Dern it, I won't be able to read the next post until either Sunday night or Monday, depending when on Friday you post. Darn it, darn it, darn it!
Well, Ant and I are together online till around 4 or 5 am board time … 
Jedi-Ant:
Chak =
I so agree with ya
No, it is not That came out wrong... serves me right for writing replies when I should have been in bed.
all fine
We just like her both
That's right, it really did happen rather fast. I've lost count how many IM convos I've had to save in order to keep all those little plot details we've been throwing backwards and forwards over the past few days!
That reminds me I still owe you one

Thanks for reading, Kidan
YodaKenobi:
Wow, such wonderful descriptions

Interesting I'm going to go ahead and guess that this is a Vongified Anakin Solo here, a prisoner of the YV since Myrkr who's been shaped
*pokes Ant in wonder* said anyone something about a prisoner? 
“ “
Such a great post, amazing writing, Ant and Maggy You're so talented.
You are too kind, Wes thank you

I have a feeling that this isn't going to be entirely in 1st person POV and this is more something for the epilogue Am I right?
You have a lot of ideas
Find out tomorrow
Glad to see Evlyn in a fic and Chak too. Hardly ever see her in fanfic.
That is very true

THE REVENANT Continues Below...
1.
Chiss Star Destroyer Marlasair, in orbit outside the planet Csahill.
The ship was orbiting the burning planet, the effulgent glow from below shining up towards the great bulk of grey durasteel and transperisteel, casting imitation silhouettes of the crew who were standing on the forward deck to dance across the back wall.
One such silhouette was more prominent than the others. It belonged to a young woman, who was staring out of the large viewport at the carnage below, her face a picture of the hardest ice. Never had she seen such a raging blaze. She almost felt nauseous at the thought of all the life forms dying, in agony and with no escape; but the feeling was short-lived. When she thought of all the evils the Yuuzhan Vong had committed throughout the galaxy, it made the task she had been sent to do seem not so barbaric, not so like the aliens she had just burned to extinction.
Her feeling of revulsion at her own act of evil slowly subsided the longer she continued to stare, though it was not really satisfying. She valued life too much to make any slaughter seem necessary in her eyes, no matter how important it was to her own safety, or to the safety of the galaxy; and though she had taken many lives over the course of her service, it never got easier.
The young woman sighed the harsh, rasping sigh of someone who had seen too much death and destruction in too short a time, and leaned her forehead against the cool paneling of the transparent screen. Another planet; another white-hot inferno that blazed for a day and killed everything in sight. Another world left barren for centuries, completely uninhabitable. It all seemed so pointless to her.
Then again, war had always seemed pointless to Evlyn Tabory. Growing up in a burnt out, half-dead belly of a star destroyer that had been shot down years ago in a war that was not their own, Evlyn had learnt to value life above everything else. To those aboard the damaged ship, life had been a luxury they had scarcely been granted, and if it weren’t for the might of the Jedi and the aide of the very aliens who had put it there in the first place, her luxury of life would have been next to non-existent now.
A cool hand crept up her back, sweeping over her polycotton uniform and coming to rest on the top of her shoulder. She desperately wanted to lean into the touch, to allow the strong arm to enfold her into its encompassing warmth, to quell her rising unease and the sickness in her very core; but she couldn’t do it. She was a Chiss soldier now, part of the fleet, and she had a job to do.
Evlyn stood as still as if she had felt nothing at all, her back remaining stiff against the soothing weight of the hand.
"Chak," she greeted in a monotone, her eyes unwavering from their place on the transperisteel. She could see his reflection in the viewport, a dark, blurred mass of a man, his uniform a mirror of her own. He was instantly recognizable to her, not because of his stature or even the gentleness of his touch, but for the simple fact that, with the exception of herself, Chak was the only one aboard the great ship that did not have the telltale crimson eyes of the Chiss.
The weight on her shoulder increased as he gave it a little squeeze.
"Are you ok?"
"Of course."
At her blunt response Chak pushed against her until she had turned on her heels to face him, the dark irises of her eyes looking up into his frowning face.
"Evlyn," he said. Though he meant it as a command, her name came out more a breathy, exhausted sigh than anything else.
She tried her best to reassure him. "I’m fine," she said, "Really, I am. It’s just..." She let her voice trail off and glanced at the expanse of space behind her, taking in the small circle of fire that was the very reason for her hesitation. It looked tiny against the sea of black surrounding it, a pinprick of red amongst an ocean of the darkest night. You wouldn’t know for looking that the little dot of scarlet had just witnessed the extinction of everything that had once been living on its rich surface.
It was then that she felt it, the little kiss of pressure at the back of her mind, the touch of an unknown entity. Evlyn gasped despite herself, a shaking hand flying up to the edge of her face and prodding the skin there, as if by doing so she could dislodge the touch of the other and bring her mind back to her full control.
Chak grabbed at her hand at once, taking the trembling limb in both of his and clutching hard. "Evlyn, what is it? What’s wrong?"
Without thinking of what she was saying or giving any thoughts to the consequences of such an admission, Evlyn began mumbling at a frenetic pace, each word rendering her more and more distressed.
"I felt something... I felt someone... They’re alive... There’s someone down there... Someone is alive down there..."
Chak’s hold on her hands tightened and he drew her closer, staring at her with wide, fearful eyes. "Down where?" he asked, his tone barely above a whisper.
Instead of responding with words, Evlyn pulled away from his grasp and simply pointed, her out-stretched hand aiming at the flaming dot of crimson visible through the large viewport; at the planet Csahill, the last known outpost of the deadly alien race, the Yuuzhan Vong; the last known outpost that had felt the might of the deadly virus, Alpha Red.
"Evlyn, nobody could have survived the blast, little own the fire that’s even now still raging! The planet is barren, a wasteland... you must be mistaken." He tried to calm her, but his efforts were fruitless.
Her eyes blazed with anger at his disbelief, the dark chocolate pools flashing almost as bright as the fire on the planet below. "I am not mistaken! Just because I’m not trained to use my gift of the Force, it doesn’t mean I don’t know what I feel! Someone is down there, alive, and in pain."
She turned away from Chak with a grunt of frustration, her narrowed eyes still fixated on the burning sphere floating in the dead of space, trying to imagine just what kind of being would find themselves stuck on a Yuuzhan Vong outpost to begin with, and how they could have managed to survive the sheer brutality of the Chiss extermination.
But Chak had ignored her previous explanation, and was continuing with his protests, as anyone who had never felt the subtle touch of the Force on their mind would.
"No Yuuzhan Vong can survive Alpha Red - it has been proven, you've seen the tests for yourself - but if someone is alive down there, then it will not be for much longer."
"You do not understand," she sighed, "the aliens are not in the Force... that can’t be a Yuuzhan Vong I’m feeling. Whoever it is... it is not a Yuuzhan Vong."
Evlyn could feel Chak’s shock before she saw it; his face had paled a shade lighter at her words. She could see his mind digesting everything she had said, see him thinking through the enormity of the situation, and coming to the same conclusion she had done only moments before.
"Chak, we have to go and save whoever it is down there," she said, voicing what she knew he was thinking.
"But it’s not safe!” Chak spluttered. “We have to wait, the fire is still raging, we’ll be –"
"No! We will not wait! If we do, it won’t be a live body we find."
With that, Evlyn stormed across the bridge and past the glowing crimson eyes of the Chiss envoy, determination searing through her veins. Chak was hot on her heels.
TBC...
