    YAY! Later; I have to finish a FotJ post now and then go to the Richards Building to get my Halloween/DVD costume. (Provo FanForce is going to be at the DVD release in full costume and, depending on what happens today, I either get to have the Amidala Senate costume or the Shmi costume. We're also using those when we have our SW themed Halloween party.

    A sequal, groovy!
    I am a little slow finding these things.

    It is probably too late, but if the authors want help, I would be happy to oblige.

    What's the word again? :' ?

    Morning found Alia already at work.

    She favored lightsaber practice early in the morning, when her mind was fresh and her senses completely unclouded by the concerns of real life.

    It also afforded her the luxury of solitary training, something that was a rarity in the Temple.

    She began in the courtyards of Theed with Katas and training remotes. She paid little visual attention to her surroundings, her senses focused instead on her perception of the Force and its movements around her.

    She moved out of the third defensive posture into ready position, her amber saber held in a salute, taking deep calming breaths.

    Then the first warning came to her mind. Pivoting, she swept the saber in a controlled arc to intercept the bolt, then snapped it to the diagonal. Her wrists twisted, letting the saber circle around before snapping up to beside her left ear, then swung down towards her right hip.

    Stepping out into a wider stance, she swept the saber across her legs, catching two more bolts, then dropped to her knees gracefully extended her arms above her head, parrying the next shot. A remote at her back fired and her saber angled downward, catching it before it would have hit her spine. Quickly, she switched to a one-handed grip and let her left hand bring the saber around to block a shot aimed at her right shoulder.

    A tone sounded, signalling the end of the sequence and she dropped into a meditative stance.

    Her focus turned inward and she let her senses merge, blend with the ebb and flow of the Force. She slipped from meditation into an almost trance-like state, letting go of her conscious self and instead relying on the Force for strengthening and refreshing.

    And guidance.

    Still entranced, she rose and moved, her extinguished saber held low by her left hip.

    Something in her mind told her to stop and she knelt once more, waiting for further instruction or information.

    Emotional residue roiled in this place. Hatred, fear, determination, confusion. The darkness was laced with faint strands of light and the experience caused her breath to catch in her throat and her stomach threatened to rise against her.

    A face.

    A demonic visage, marred with a complex spiderweb of blood-red and char-black tattoos, leering with predatory malice, eyes rimmed in fire.

    Contrasting with this was the cold fury of a young man with a strong jaw, the hair of a Padawan, and the eyes...

    The eyes of Grandpa Obi-Wan. They were unmistakably his.

    And then, between these two extremes, the familiar, almost maddening serenity of the man in her dreams.

    She closed her eyes as though the motion could block out the vision, but her mind plunged into the psychic residue.

    She could see lightsabers flashing, a blood-red haze tainting everything, the evidences of pitched battle. Several times, death seemed imminent, but in the end, only the demon was vanquished.

    And then the dream-man turned to her, his eyes filled with a mixture of worry, irritation, and strange joy.

    "Alia?"

    The vision disappeared and she looked up to find Grandpa regarding her curiously.

    "Are you all right?"

    She blinked. They were seperated by the red haze of an enclision grid.

    A blood-red haze tainting everything...

    "Yes," she breathed. "I just..."

    She trailed off, shaking her head. "I don't know what happened. After my sabership practice, I went into meditation and the Force guided me here."

    Something flickered in his eyes, an amused remembrance of something, but he did not question, only nodded in acknowledgment.

    "You finished your saber practice four hours ago," he said quietly. "That must have been some meditation."

    Alia smiled slightly and rose as the grid rotated and he reached across to take her by the arm, pulling her along.

    "I knew wherever you were, you'd have your reasons, but your grandmother's been worrying about your sudden disappearance."

    Alia laughed easily. "Grandma worries more than Papa, if that's possible."

    "Not easy to believe," he agreed, "but entirely possible.

    Wow, Ish... That was AWESOME, FANTASTIC, FABULOUS, ... uh, I've run out of words... GREAT POST!!! :D :D :D

    Actually, I knew it was Qui-Gon in Alia's dreams (you know, long hair, beard, blue eyes)... ;) But how you actually introduced him was really nice. :) And Alia's saber practice - nobody can write saber fights like you do, Ish! It was wonderful! :)

    Now. Who's next??? :D
