Shadows of Bankor

Zerras will be looking for padawans and other Force sensitives (other Jedi, too), to help them find a safe place to hide from the Empire and train (like the Orlandis Temple).

"I can." A voice came from behind. The Nautolan, the one who'd been in the background the whole time, stepped forward. "I can save her. And the twins she carries." His chin tilted upwards. "Because I am the Mandalore of the future. Mandalore the Redeemer." "I knew it..." Zerras whispered to herself.

Zerras wandered the halls of the temple, with the help of a droid guiding her. It would take some time for her sight to return, but she had wanted visit the temple again and contemplate her future. She didn't quite agree with the others who had told her that she had proven herself. She had faced the...

Zerras continued to listen, laughing and cheering with everyone else. She did wonder if she was actually facing the correct direction.

Zerras sat and listened. It was hard to follow, but it certainly sounded exciting and fun.

"There were other teams, holding the shuttle bay we all boarded through. I think it was a group from there that pulled us out." she explained. "I lost my sight during my clash with Vader, but I was still conscious when they broke through. I heard their screams as he cut through a few of them. Then, ...

If anyone would like to meet up with Zerras, let me know. I have no idea yet what her plans are going forward.

"We drove them off." Zerras answered. "We successfully kept Vader away from the other team, allowing them to disable the Dictator's shields. The fleet was then able to inflict enough damage to force the Empire to retreat."

Zerras lost track of Verse as she paused to listen to the spectacle above and the cheers below. Smiling happily, she continued down the beach.

"We all did out part. We were all where we needed to be, regardless of out reasons." Zerras answered.

"We all played our part." He glanced at Veras. "Oraka, and his family... not the only ones to lose something in this struggle. But all of our sacrifices... it's good to know they meant something." "Every act mattered." she nodded. "It came so close to everything falling apart. Without what Oraka di...

"Eyes would still be nice to have." Zerras chuckled. "There should be pudding for everyone. It's pretty good."

"We're both blind Verse, for now." she chuckled. "So, I didn't actually see the Resistance break through from the other side after Vader batted me away. I doubt he was concerned about facing them, but it was a sign the Dictator was in actual danger."

Zerras followed Verse. She had slept most of the day, but her dreams had been dark and disturbing. The ordeal with the Sith still weighed heavily on her. She still smiled, though. Physically she was feeling much better. Other than her eyes, most of her wounds had healed.

"We all made it. Only the Force knows how." Zerras sighed. It was a happy sound.

Djanik chuckled, "I feel a bit guilty, I let Elaranu's ship get a bit busted up out there, but I'm glad you made it home safe." She shook her head. "You did what was necessary and the New Hope made it back to base. That allowed me to join the others boarding the Dictator. Without Wolf Squadron, eve...

"I was Elaranu's gunner." she smiled. "I wanted to thank you both, for keeping us safe."

"Excuse me. I'm sorry. Are you the pilots that flew beside the New Hope?" She finally spoke up.

Zerras sat nearby. She had returned from the party and was now having her wounds tended to. Her eyes remained bandaged, but she heard movement and turned towards it.

"Is someone awake?"

Eventually, Zerras would return. She'd sit beside Dove and meditate.

Zerras stood nearby listening, not wanting to interupt.

After a moment, Zerras stood again and followed Xanna. She listened to the conversations around her as she did. Trying to track a single voice was difficult, but she had heard it mention a name. She needed to thank those who had flown beside the New Hope. Without them, she wouldn't have been there w...

"I will heal in time." she replied, turning towards Xanna's general direction.. "The others need the full attention of the medics and I was just getting in the way."

"May it be with you Master, always." With a parting smile, she took off running once again.

"That is a very good idea." she stood. "I appreciate meditation, but running is what has always brought me focus."
