some unused story from “Darkness and Light”

Rakatta Prime 3630bby Theron sat on the sand, watching Borias still form. He wasn't sure what to do. He didn't move because he was afraid that if he did, Borias would disappear again. He fumbled with his datapad, checking the net, scanning the area around them. He was alone on the island, the Mandalorians having left days ago, leaving the newlyweds on their own. he read the messages, worry lined his brown face. "I cannot get a response from Lord Scourge or Master Carsen either. Master Amethesta explained in her message. "The best thing to do would be to wait and see if they wake up." forty two hours I've waited, and nothing. Theon thought sadly, afraid to eat or sleep, not moving, watching Borias closely, afraid he would disappear if he moved away from him. The sun set over the beach where Theron sat quietly. A shadow loomed overhead. It wasn't the moon or the sun. He let out an alarmed gasp as the GRAVESTONE blocked the sun from his view. "By the stars!" he rose to look up at the ship hovering overhead, moving at a steady pace. Borias started to stir, though he didn't seem to be waking up. He rose to a sitting position, his bright blue eyes still staring off, blinking. he started to rise off of the ground. Theron gasped, reaching out to him. "Borias, No!" He watched in horror as Borias was lifted up into the Rakata sky, his form being shadowed by the setting sun and the ship. "No!" Theron cried. This is Just like at the spire when Valkorian controlled him. There's nothing I can do. Tears slipped down his tan cheeks. Maybe I can save him, he thought. He ran along the beach to where Borias shuttle was parked. His mind raced as he climbed onto the shuttle and slid into the seat at the helm. He tapped the common the panel, "This is Theon Shan of the Eternal Alliance, Something dark is developing, something that we don't know about. our people are being taken and we don't know why. I see this as a threat, i threat that must be stopped and eliminated."

Pretty much done with the trilogy. Now I gotta finish up, and do the fun part: EDITING. Ugh.
Vaylin and Jonas have been given the proper treatment that #Swtor didn’t bother giving them. So I fixed that.

Elleanna is saved and Amethesta gets a surprise.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #OriginalStory #GalacticFantasy #StarWarstheOldRepublic
Doctor Kimball adjusted the controls on the Kolto tank and grinned. "It's what I do. She couldn't do it without me. Now if you'll excuse me, Iv'e got a pretty girl and babies to save." Amethesta looked at him expectantly. "Babies? So Elleanna is with child?" "Children." Doc corrected her. "I hear three very strong heartbeats." Amethesta's face stretched into a wide smile. "that's wonderful news." "so what shall be done with her? you know your Jedi and their rules about attachments." Lord scourge said sternly. Amethesta looked up at the Sith pure blood, her face calm and stern. "You most of all, should know that I do not follow their rules." "Apparently, neither does your sister." He looked at the ginger haired woman in the tank thoughtfully. "Scourge, she was captured by a Sith. you know what they do to their slaves." Scourge bowed his red bald head. "I do, and I am also aware of so much more. she is fortunate that she has you to look out for her welfare." Amethesta stood in front of him, placing her hands on his broad chest. "just as you have watched over me?" she smiled sweetly at him. "I admire your passion and your persistence. perhaps one day I can return your affection properly."

Lord Borias makes a plan to help protect Theron with Mako and Dr. Oggurobb’s help

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
#AmWriting #StarWarstheOldRepublic #GalacticFantasy
When Borias and Lana entered the med bay on the top level of the STAR OF CORUSCANT, Mako and Dr. Oggurobb were there waiting for them. Mako smiled as Borias approached her carrying the unconscious Theron. Borias gently placed him down on the med cot. He let out a heavy sigh, looking at the young cybertech and the purple hutt thoughtfully. "I am afraid that we must intervene on Theron's behalf." Mako touched Theron's head gently, stroking his brow. "What did you do to him?" "I only placed him in a relaxed state for now. I shall need your help, both of you." "Whatever you need Commander, I am at your disposal." the hutt said. "Sure. How can I help?" Mako asked. "It seems that Theron is being controlled through his implants." Borias said softly. "I think that we should remove them. They may have been tampered with." Lana nodded. "We fear his mother may have something to do with his programming as well." Borias looked at Mako thoughtfully. "You told me that his implants are similar to yours. " "I can reprogram them." Mako said, examining his implants. Borias shook his head. "No. I do not wish to take any chances." Mako nodded. "I get it." The purple hutt nodded his massive head. "This must be very serious then, to alter Agent Shan this way." He looked at the unconscious form lying on the cot. "I was hoping that we would not have to take drastic measures, but it seems that we have no choice. Our situation is very serious indeed, and with what has happened thus far..." Borias said. "You mean with the Gods?" Mako asked.

Borias wasn't so scared his whole life. He had become quite good at suppressing his emotions like the Jedi. He preferred to stay in control. He had never cared for anything but himself and his ambition. But now, on the brink of death, with everything falling drown around him, and surrounded by the enemy, he felt something else, something other than fear, something that he had never felt before... LOVE. He reached up to place his hand on his heart. His heart raced; his breath came quickly. He fumbled for the small data pad in his pocket, then tapped out a quick message. It read: Theron, I send this message to you as I fly through wild space. the enemy has attacked Darth Marr's Flagship, and I am afraid that there may be no way out. in the event that I die, I just wanted you to know that I LOVE YOU. I shall hold you in my heart forever. I regret that I pushed you away and that we could not be closer. I wish you to be happy. please do not take this too much to heart. I cannot die knowing that you suffer upon my account. if I never see you again, I hope that you shall find happiness and that we shall see each other again in the next realm. Always, Borias Borias shoved the data pad back into his purple robe pocket, and raced toward the corridor.

He let out a long, hard sigh. I was really hoping that I could avoid this, but even my mother has pushed us together without knowing it. maybe it is destiny after all. He hesitated before pulling the small data pad from his cargo pants pocket, the data pad that Borias gave him on Ziost 3 months ago. I guess he didn't want to let go either. even after his insistence on keeping apart when we said goodbye on Yavin IV. He tapped in the private code that Borias had given him for private messages. He typed out the quick message. It read: Lord Borias, It has come to our attention that Jedi Master Elleanna Domvar, the Bar'senthor has been reported missing by the Jedi Council. I thought it important that you be aware of it. I know that you believed your mother to be dead, but she isn't, and I just wanted you to know. I am sorry what happened on Ziost. I should never have gotten involved, but I had to try. I just couldn't allow the emperor to win. Master Amethesta and Lord Scourge have also gone missing. The last I heard; they were going to search for the Emperor. If I find out anything more, I will let you know. Thank you for all of your help. I miss you, Theron

Odessen Vaylin's quarters 3607bby The door to her quarters slid shut behind her with a soft hiss. Vaylin didn't turn on the lights - she didn't want to see herself like this. She stumbled to the small desk, palms sweating, heart hammering. The datapad blinked awake under her trembling hand. Her fingers hovered over the keys, but typing felt impossible with how violently she was shaking. She switched to voice dictation. The moment the soft tone beeped, her throat tightened painfully. She swallowed. Tried again. Her voice broke immediately. "I don't... I don't want to hurt you." The device caught the crack in her voice, the fragment of a sob she couldn't contain. Vaylin pressed her free hand to her mouth, breathing fast, fighting to get the next words out. Her whole body trembled. not from fear of him, but fear of wanting him, Wanting this. Wanting something fragile she had no idea how to keep alive. She tried speaking again, but the first attempt came out as a whisper too thin to register. She steadied the datapad with both hands, as if grounding herself through it. This time, her voice was broken but clear: "You have to understand... I've never felt this before."

He stood there, with his hands on his slender hips, looking out of the floor to ceiling window of the large vaulted room, lost in thought. Blast this Emperor Arcann, he thought. The eternal Empire was taking everything from us; our homes, our resources, and even our lives. It's been nearly a year and things are only getting worse. I need to get out now while I still can. People are disappearing, dead, or have given up completely. His thoughts were interrupted by the ping on his data pad resting on a crate sitting by the door. He walked over to it, picking it up. He read the message that appeared on the screen. It read: Theron, Everything is underway. I have made the arrangements, and have activated all of my contacts, both imperial and republic. I hope that you have done the same. I am certain that it shall all turn out well for all of us. We both have a common purpose, only now it is for the good of the whole galaxy. We have much work to do to achieve our goal, but I know that we can do it together. I sent one of my contacts to meet you on Coruscant. he will give you the coordinates to your destination. I didn't want to broadcast it in a message, in case it was intercepted perchance by our new "friends" in the Eternal Empire. You, of all people can understand the importance of this discretion. I hope that all is well at your end and I hope to catch up with you soon. Lana

Lord Borias Wownomore had become his world, and he couldn't stop thinking about him, not since they had said goodbye on the roof top of the people's Tower on Ziost. The Sith Lord had put his emotions into a tailspin; He was dizzy, he had trouble concentrating, he woke up in cold sweats, anxious and his heart often ached. He placed a hand over his heart. By the stars...I'm in love. He just hoped that Borias felt the same...at least, that's what he wanted, but he didn't know for sure. They had made love only once, but Borias had never actually expressed his feelings, except in the frantic message, thinking that he could die. He hadn't heard anything else since then and he was afraid that if he didn't at least try to reach out to him, he would never know for sure. Blast it! he fumbled for the data pad that he had put into his pack on the way out. He typed in the private code and typed out a quick message. It read: Lord Borias, I know that you said it wasn't meant to be, but when I got your message, I couldn't help but wonder if you really do care and it filled me with hope that maybe we could be together after all, but then when I didn't hear from you again.. I hope you are okay. please be alive. I really enjoyed our time together and if I never hear from you again, I understand. I've never been good with relationships, but after meeting you I felt that might change. if you get this message and you're still alive, I just want you to know that I care about you and I really hope I will see you again. even if we're not together, I will still have fine memories to hold in my heart forever.

She shrank back behind a tall stack of crates in the courtyard in what she believed to be the palace of the Emperor. Tall beams covered with heavy ivy loomed overhead. She looked up at the darkening sky and let out a heavy sigh as she pulled out a small data pad from her tunic pocket. She quickly typed out a frantic message. It read: Amethesta, I apologize for my long absence. I am afraid that it couldn't be helped. You know how impulsive I am. I am afraid that I've reached my wit's end. I've tracked Borias to Wild space. It's very different here. I thought that I could find him so that he could help us in finding Vitiate and defeating him at last, but I fear that is simply not possible now. I discovered a new settlement, another Empire, if you will. I sense great darkness here though, and I may not survive much longer. The powers that be here are unforgiving and hostile. I hope that this message finds you well and in the event that I should not find you, please continue the search and tell Borias that I love him. Joanis already knows. Until we meet again, in this galaxy or the next. May the force be with you always dearest sister. I love you Elle

the twins discuss relationships

-Brother-
#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #OriginalStory #StarWarstheOldRepublic #GalacticFantasy
Jo'limar's pale face tightened with genuine concern as he watched the two part ways. Vaylin disappeared into the shadows of the Grey Temple, leaving his brother standing there, lost in thought. Aquilan's hand strayed to the hilt at his hip, fingers brushing the lightsaber in that absent way he always did when distracted or troubled. This can't be good, Jo'limar thought, his stomach twisting. He moved toward the lift, the cold wind stirring his dark hair as he waited. The platform hummed and began to rise. Slowly, Aquilan's figure emerged, head lowered, eyes distant. Jo'limar forced a smile, though the weight in his chest made it brittle. "You looked like you were worlds away back there." Aquilan glanced up, sapphire eyes meeting his brother's, but there was something different in them - a flicker of warmth that wasn't meant for Jo'limar. He gave a small shrug, stepping onto the landing. "Maybe I was." Jo'limar's smile faded. His eyes flicked toward the direction Vaylin had gone, then back to his twin. "Aquilan... what's going on with you?" Aquilan chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh, nothing... I was just getting my lesson from Vaylin." Jo'limar scoffed, folding his arms. "Uh huh. Looked to me like she was giving you a lesson in something else entirely." His pale eyes narrowed, sharp and unrelenting. "You're treading water there, brother." Aquilan's grin faltered, his sapphire eyes flashing with defensiveness. "You're reading too much into it." "No," Jo'limar shot back, his voice low, stubborn. "I'm seeing it. You think I don't notice when you get that look in your eye?

I used to think “Nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans” was just right wing fans, but clearly not. 5 years ago The Mandalorian was beloved by everyone, “saved Star Wars,” but after ONE meh season (I thought it was ok) everyone is rooting for the movie to fail. (Snyderbros still worse tho)

Aquilan and Vaylin decide to continue their legacy

-Child-
#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #OriginalStory #GalacticFantasy #StarWarstheOldRepublic
A soft chime rang-a single, delicate note. "Fertilization is successful," the medic said quietly. Vaylin swallowed hard. "In a moment, the embryo will begin its first division. When it does... we will transfer it into the gestation chamber." The capsule glowed, soft and warm. Aquilan whispered, voice trembling despite his calm: "That's our child." And for the first time in her life-in all her battles, in all her years, in all her scars—Vaylin felt something stronger than power. She felt joy. The white glow inside the gestation capsule flickered-once, then again-like a heartbeat forming in light. Vaylin felt Aquilan's hand tighten around her own as the medic leaned closer to the monitors. "Something is happening," the Arkanian murmured, pointing. "Look." The single bright point in the chamber-newly formed, fragile, luminous-elongated for a moment. Then it rounded again. Then, It split. Perfectly. Cleanly, As though guided by the Force itself. Two spheres of light floated where there should have been one. A soft chime rang out. The medic's brows lifted. "...division into identical embryos," she announced. "A twin formation." Vaylin's breath caught-not in fear, but in a way she hadn't felt since she was a young girl on Zakuul, watching the twin suns rise beside her brothers. "Twins," she whispered. Her voice was barely a breath. Aquilan let out a soft, stunned laugh. "My father is going to lose his mind." "Your father," she echoed, eyes locked on the two tiny points of light. "Your brother. My brother..." "Twins everywhere," he murmured. He brushed her cheek. "Now it's our turn." Vaylin didn't cry-didn't allow herself to-but her eyes glimmered with something fierce and vulnerable all at once. Twins. Just like Arcann and Thexan. Just like Aquilan and Jolimar Just like Borias and Joanis She reached toward the glass, hand trembling. "I always wondered," she said softly, "if it was fate that my family came in pairs. If losing my brothers was meant to end something in our line..." Aquilan watched her, gentle and steady. "...but this ends nothing," he said. "This begins something." Inside the capsule, the twin embryos shimmered again —two tiny specks adrift in the glowing womb, already bound to each other in ways only twins could understand.

Sadness is my theme today with the chosen word: Low
This is Jonas POV as he’s still struggling with his feelings for Theron

The morning air on Yavin was thick and warm, heavy with damp earth and the scent of moss. Somewhere behind him, laughter drifted-quiet, intimate. Not loud. Not careless. The kind of sound that only existed between two people who were settled into each other. He knew without seeing it. Borias would be close to Theron now. Not possessive. Not flashy. Just there-solid, attentive, unshakably present. That was the part that hurt. Jonas paused at the edge of the landing platform, resting a hand on the cold metal railing. The jungle stretched endlessly before him, green and alive and indifferent. He let out a slow breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. You did everything right, he told himself. You stepped back. You didn't trap him. You didn't make promises you couldn't keep. But still... He remembered Theron at eighteen-sharp-eyed, eager, desperate in that quiet way that only people starved for affection ever were. How quickly he'd attached. How fiercely. How Jonas had seen it coming and been too much of a coward-or too much of a realist-to stop it before it went too far. Jonas had loved him and THAT was the cruelest truth. But love, for Jonas, had always been reckless. Temporary. A thing that burned bright and then left wreckage behind. He knew himself too well. He would have broken Theron eventually-slowly, carelessly, without meaning to. Borias hadn't. That Sith, no, that man, had looked at Theron like he was something precious, something worth protecting even from himself. Jonas had seen it immediately. The way Borias listened. The way he STAYED. Jonas swallowed, jaw tightening. That's what I couldn't give you, he thought, And that's why he deserves you and not me. The shuttle engines whined softly as the pilot signaled readiness. Jonas climbed aboard without ceremony, taking a seat near the viewport. As the ramp lifted, he allowed himself one final indulgence-one last thought of what might have been. Theron laughing in a cramped SIS office on Coruscant, Theron asleep on a safehouse couch, mussed hair falling into his eyes, Theron looking at him like Jonas was the center of his universe. It had terrified him then, and it still did. It always would. The shuttle lifted off, Yavin's ruins shrinking beneath the canopy. Jonas watched until the stronghold vanished into the green. "Be happy, kid," he murmured to the empty cabin. "Please... I really need this." The envy lingered-quiet, bitter, undeniable-but beneath it was something steadier...Relief. Because for the first time since Nar Shaddaa, Jonas Balkar knew the truth with absolute certainty: Theron Shan hadn't lost anything by losing him, He'd gained everything by finding Lord Borias.
