    Summary

    When Master Jaro Tapal finds an orphaned and blind force-sensitive child named Cal Kestis, his first instinct is to take him as his Padawan. Unfortunately for him, the Jedi Council ultimately chooses to refuse his request, forcing him to give the boy away to a monastery on Jedha to be raised by monks.

    Meanwhile, on a distant planet, a handful of dark-force wielding witches manage to escape the genocide of their clan. With everything lost and without guidance, the remaining Nightsisters appoint the oldest survivor of their coven as their leader, in hope that they can rebuild their clan.

    The demise of the Jedi at the hands of a cruel Emperor shifts the scales of power, and a new alliance stands to be formed when Cal Kestis gets captured and delivered to the new Mother of the Nightsister clan.

    Summary

    Unlike five years ago, Merrin’s pain is quieter than Cal’s. He is not the quiet boy in quiet, guilt ridden shadow, watching as she raises armies of the dead while her sisters sing in haunting harmony with her.

    But being so strong takes its toll on her too.

    Summary

    The first thing she noticed when the door opened was Cal, sitting hunched and with his knees up in the middle of the pathway. The second thing she noticed was the fast, shaky breaths Cal seemed to be taking.

    Merrin came to sit beside him, not saying anything or looking at him, even when he immediately and furiously wiped his tears away. Instead, she looked to the sky, at the infinite stars that were scattered across it. She gave Cal a minute of silence before finally speaking.

    “Please do not hide your pain.”

    Summary

    “Bode,” he exhaled, the name bitter on his tongue as he started and then stopped, needing to draw a deep breath. “I can’t stop thinking about what he said. The first time I held her, I saw the entire galaxy in her eyes,” Cal repeated the words and gave a shake of his head, laughing darkly at the notion of it. “He said that I couldn’t understand. But I do understand and I did understand. He knew that. He knew how I felt about you and that I understood what he was saying. Because it's true. Every time I look in your eyes I see—”

    Summary

    --He breathed gently, slowly dropping down from the ledge and grabbing on the vines that grew from time and was above someone. Who he was looking for. Cal pursed his lips. Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear.

    "Cal Kestis, where are hell are you?!" Cal cursed internally. He would have to answer later. Merrin would be mad, but she would have to wait. Cal silenced the coms, quieting the Dathomirian curses she spat out. He was above the inquisitor. He took a deep breath, trusted in his feet and hands, and dropped to the inquisitor, igniting his lightsaber and swiftly stabbing it into his neck. If killing was that easy normally, Cal would have been the number 1 Empire killer.

     

    The droids stared at him for an silent moment, before a B1 shouted, "Get him!" The droids were easy to destroy, one flick of the wrist and the droid is scrap. The Force warned him of danger and he let it guide his body to the threat. He blocked the BX's blade and sliced it in the head. The last BX was posed to attack. A voice whispered behind his ear.
    "Take the other one apart. Feel the power."--

    I'm back! Sorry if this story sucks, it's beta. I'll freshen it up soon.

    Summary

    She would not admit this to anyone, but it scares her how much she has come to care for this crew. The brutal lesson of how quickly and easily loss can strike is etched into her very bones.

    She looks down at Cal and knows it is the same for him.

    Her fingers softly comb through his hair, avoiding the back of his head, and trace down his forehead. He stirs, and blinks an eye open to look at her.

    “Hi,” he whispers.

    “Hello,” she whispers back.

    “M’glad you’re here,” he says, and then promptly falls back asleep.

    Summary

    "Another night terror?"

    Cal only hummed lightly in response.

    “I can make you something? To help ease you back into sleep.”

    Cal opened his eyes and glanced up at the sky. Towards the horizon there was a tinge of yellow that began to merge with the deep blue of night.

    “It’s only a couple of hours till sunrise. I’ll just wait it out,” He replied. “Besides, I wouldn’t want you to waste the rest of your ingredients.”

    Merrin huffed, moving her face away from Cal’s back, her arms remaining in place.

    “I can always get more, Cal.” And he could see Merrin’s raised brow without actually having to look at her.

    But he didn’t say anything in return, instead choosing to continue looking out at the horizon. There was a poignant silence that began to fill the space between Cal and Merrin, and she could sense that there was something heavy weighing on him.

    She spoke up through the quiet. “Tell me what is troubling you.”

    [Cal, overwhelmed by his fears, tries to find some peace of mind. Merrin offers her comfort to him. Set post-Jedi Survivor.]

    Summary

    Sitting in idleness without doing anything had never been in Cal Kestis' nature, not even when he was just a padawan he would just sit and rest when he was too tired or ill, driven by his sense of duty as a future Jedi Knight.
    Even though the Order was no longer there and – apparently – he and Cere were the only survivors, Cal still felt a duty towards the galaxy and he couldn't bear the idea of having to stop, even for a few days, when there were so many people out there who needed help.

    Summary

    "Cordova existed to Merrin first as a memory told through the nostalgic mutterings and passed down wisdom of Cere Junda, but then became something real of flesh and blood once she traveled to Jedha and met that legend turned man who she’d come to respect. He was a steady voice, a balanced judgment, an earnest laugh, a mustache turned up at the ends in a secret sort of amusement. Though now he was a memory yet again, as if he had never existed beyond that, yet the weight of his body hung heavily in her arms in a haunting crossing of worlds."

    Merrin and Cal have to hurry to lay the bodies of Cere and Cordova safely aboard the Mantis before the imperials catch up to them, leaving no time for mourning. Merrin's thoughts as she struggles with this race against time.
