Corwin and Trina reached the base of the great mountain that the Rancor, the "intelligent" rancor had said the Sisters of the Sun lived. The trip had taken them weeks. They had been dogged by the darksiders the entire time. It was not a fun trip, though, Trina had learned a lot from Corwin's teachings along the way.
The trip was a constant trial, and Trina had performed admirably. Upon reaching the base of the Mountain, Corwin gently laid her down, as she was sleeping on his shoulder. He hadn't slept in days and was hard pressed to remain awake even with the aid of the Force. His use of the abilities to endure would have been used sparingly, if it was just himself he was taking care of. However, he was safeguarding the child as well. The toll was evident, he looked haggard and old. Perhaps, it was more a byproduct of the fact that he hadn't had the luxury of bathing or shaving in weeks. But more than that, he was using the force in a necessary fashion, to keep this child he loved alive. It was not his way to draw so on the force. Between the battle of Death Squadron and this trial he had aged. He was, as always, in perfect shape. However, his appearance reflected a wizened older Jedi of Old. More on the level of Obi Wan Kenobi (in Episode three). The by-product of this constant trial was that he was LEARNING faster than he ever had before, the presence of the "Living Force" was everything that was keeping him alive, awake and envigorated. Dathomir had a powerful force presence that flowed into his veins like top grade Starfighter fuel. Corwin may have been an "X-Wing" before but his power levels and performance were more akin to an "A-Wing" now.
He "felt" the emergence of the "good" force women. They emerged from the landscape of the Mountain as innoccuously as anything ever could. Appearing as if from thin air.
"Take her, keep her safe." He said as more of an order to the women "I must deal with your menace."
"You are in no position to demand anything. You are surrounded." One woman responded as she began to chant, a rock lifted and hurled at him.
Without a word, Corwin placed a finger to his mouth and then half pointed to the boulder. It stopped and he tossed it aside.
"Enough games, little girl, you will safe guard Trina or I will come for you later." Corwin's statement was not a threat, it was a promise
The Sisters of Allya stood in astonished shock at witnessing him defeat the attck of their strongest sister Teneniel Djo, with the slightest movement of his finger.
"You will treat her as if she was your daughter. For your efforts you will realize that she, too, is more than your match." Corwin easily responded, half turning to look for his pursuers
"What? This child? Do you take me for a fool." Teneniel responded more as a reflexive statement of the shock that a man would so easily defeat her assault. His power was unbelievable. They could all sense it without even using the spell of discovery. His light was so brilliant that they would have been blinded if they looked too close.
"Do not dismiss the appearance of youth. Or you will find out the hard way." Corwin said to her "Trina... Wake up my child." He gently shook her
She awoke, startled to see the women around them "Are they bad?" As she sprang to her feet, Teneniel tried the boulder spell again and Trina easily tossed the boulder aside. "Is that the best you've got dark one?" Trina questioned her
Teneniel, now completely at al loss mumbled out "I... I am not a Nightsister. I will keep her safe. What will you do?" She asked Corwin
Trina Interrupted "No, I don't want to go with them. I have to stay with you. I have to protect you." Wich drew more astonished glances from the women "You're all I have Corwin." She said honestly
"It's okay, Trina, they're good women. Remember, I told you about the big, nice rancor that told me about them." Corwin said smiling
She stood there with her hands on her hips, fretting "Fine, but if you get hurt I'll know. I'll come for you then." She said matter of factly
"I know you will. Now go. I'll see you soon." Corwin says as he hugs her gently then gently releases her in the direction of one of the women that nods in his direction. She takes the hand of that woman and disappears up the hill in the foliage.
Corwin looks to Teneniel "I will allow them to capture me. They will disarm me, and I will be brought before their mistress. Then I will remove the corruption at the blackened heart of the problem." He says easily
"You know much of our culture offworlder" She remarks
"Yes, I learned much from several Nightsisters, as you call them, when I went off alone at night to make certain that Trina was safe. Their flock is dozens thinner." Corwin stated evenly
"You are the Ghost, the Demon, that all of the Clans are whispering about..." She says in astonishment
"I am no Ghost, nor am I a Demon. I do not use magic, the Force is my ally. I have the advantage of years of guerilla fighting, martial training in hand to hand combat, tactics and ploys. Your Nightsisters have no knowledge of my methods. I am a living terror on hundreds of worlds and the savior of just as many... So, perhaps, the titles I have been affectionately dubbed with will suffice for now. Know, that I am your ally." He says as he is now face to face with her, brusing a leaf out fo her hair. "You need to atone, for your touch of darkness. When I return, I will show you the way." Corwin says at last
She is speechless...
One of the other women takes her by the arm "They are almost upon us. He is clearly insane, he cannot take all of them." She says tugging Teneniel back to the foilage of the mountain base.
"Indeed, all I have ever known have thought me to be insane. My methods, however, are far from insane. I stand on my own, as an army unto myself. Again, the Force is my ally. Live or die, I am a Jedi Knight." He says turning to the treeline, waiting for the nightsisters to come.
"We will watch you from the safety of the mountain, if you need assistance we will..." Teneniel begins to state
"No. Thank you, but No. I do not require your assistance. Go, now, protect Trina and bring her before your leader." He says without turning around, he kneels, resting and placing his double bladed light staff before himself, entering a bit of meditative trance before what is about to come.
The Sisters of Allya watch from their mountain with Trina already being taken to the leader of the Clan.
The Night Sisters emerge from the edge of the forestline
"Good, I thought you were going to keep me waiting all day." Corwin says standing up, breaking the lightstaff, and igniting the blades.
He begins a ballet of spinning blades, weaving in and out, up and around. Sometimes spinning the wepon in mid air before catching it with the other hand. It's a centering technique, one that he performs to loosen all of his strained and over burdened muscles.
They approached slowly at first then in a rush. Dozens of twisted dark force users. The first six were cut in half before they even had the opportunity to scream. Corwin waded into the middle of them, force lightning spraying out from his adversaries, was actually hitting the wrong targets. He was moving so fast, the lightning was killing is opponents. Some of it he simply reflected off his lightsabers.
Allowing them to hit him with glancing blows, be began to allow his exaustion to slow him, and exaggerate the extent of the damage they did to him. All the while he culled their ranks, if he gave up too soon it would appear as the trick that this was. So, again and again he cut a swath through the ranks of Dark Siders. Showing his exaustion and with a telekenitic strike hitting one of his arms, he spun dramatically to the right releasing one of his lightsabers. It tumbled and as he reached for it, he opened himself up intentionally to another strike in his back. Staggering, and spinning around, now both hands on his last blade he killed three more, but as the assaults kept mounting he slowed and slowed until he lost his other saber. This time more from a direct strike to his wrists from a staff.
Four more sisters perished in hand to hand combat, as Corwin unleashed his lethal trade of manuvers that Tengi had taught him. But now he was down on one knee. Another he telekenetically hurled away from him, releasing that witch she tumbled to the ground and was impaled on a branch. He grimaced, but with one eye swollen shut he had tossed her in the wrong direction... Oops. Time to pass out. The last srike glanced the back of his head as he twisted and he entered a hibernation trance.
Over the next three days his body and his possessions were carried back in a cage to what he thought was their clan home. In between sleeping, he would come out of it to heal and meditate. THe rest was sorely needed. The witches, a very few in number sneered at him as they progressed. They had stripped him of much of hsi gear, as he suspected. However, as he had hidden it, they missed Yoda's lightsaber.
