[LM8] - Take Me Down to the Water

A vast region of the northern half of the continent with trees approaching a kilometer in height with high plateaus creating islands in the sea of green forests. The forest floor lives in a strange twilight with a great deal of bioluminescence in the wildlife and ecology.

Juri bit her lip. "Fear is a powerful motivation. To be afraid of being the last, of losing it all." There was a tear in her eye. "I know it. I lost my sisters on Dathomir. I lost my love because he has to walk his path. I lost my home. My clinic. All because of an Empire that uses Fear."

She then looked to Servant Nine. "And I will not lose my sister, or myself to Darkness. You do not have to be alone, either."

"There... is no time sister, this is..." she dropped her knife as her finger start to go gray and wrinkled and it continues up her limbs.

"I..." she fell to her knees.

Juri dropped her own, kneeling with the woman. She took Riule's hand in her own, reaching with the Force, trying to stave off the withering.

"Riule... you're not alone..." the green vapor encircled her, flowing into Riule, washing her in the healing energy of the Light. "I'm here. I won't leave you alone."

Riule smiled as the healing energy poured into her she looked at peace and said, "I... I do not deserve this kindness sister."

She reached up a hand and touched Juri's face and said, "I am at peace..."

The touch grew weak as she faded into green lights that flooded the chamber purifying the pool and now Juri was alone no sign of the strange woman from before.

"Blessed Be." She whispered, as Riule faded away. "Be one with the Force. Go home to Dathomir." Juri continued on, as she found herself alone by the pool. She breathed in quietly, letting the somber moment hang over her.

The strange being was gone. The voice disappeared. There was just this place.

"I am Juri Saizesh. Nightsister of Dathomir, the legacy of Talzin, Soltzai, and Riule rest here. Peace and harmony be upon this place. May the Force guide me, and take me to where I am needed most." She reached for Riule's knife, and began to bury it.

She can feel the approval of her sisters.

OOC: The pool is suitable for water of life.

With the knife buried, the Witch rose. Breathing in, calming herself, she moved into the pool. Feeling the power in the waters, she began the ritual.

This was the single most potent type of Alchemy she knew. Even if she failed, there would be lessons learned. Her earrings seemed to sing as she focused, her nose beginning to bleed from the induced strain.

"May the Force be with me... blessed be..." she whispered, and let the Force flow through her.

It took hours. The ritual was delicate. It was a process. She had only seen the ritual performed, and never been a participant. At the end...

Perhaps it was the emotions of the day, or the imbalance in her life or on Bankor itself. But she failed. The potion didn't coalesce.

A small smile on her face, "I have more to learn. My journey is only beginning." She wiped the blood away from her nose, and dipped herself beneath the waters.

LM8 - Take Me Down to the Water - Crafting the Water of Life (Intellect 4, Lore 2, Destiny Flip, +4eB Neural Charm, Formidable Difficulty, Secret Lore reduces to Daunting): 3eP+1eA+4eB+4eD+1eF 2 advantage, 1 Dark Side
ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage Normally, two advantages would be used on careful measuring to retain 50% of the component cost.

Would it be okay to spend the two advantages to not only leave the pool as compatible for the Water of Life, could the pool become a new reserve of the Ichor of Dathomir, maybe make it a very minor vergence in the Force?
