Brie had again tried to venture out theappartment, although, she brought along a rather largewookiee bodyguard to keep an eye on her. Fear was notsomething she allowed herself live within for more than

five minutes normally, but, as of late it seemed to >Brie be finding cracks in her near inpenitrible walland seeping in with small, dark and gripping tendrils thatwrapped themselves around her heart and soul. It wasnear suffocating. She stood on the beach, a rathersilent, unknown area that was a least a >

Brie kilometer away from the beachfront hotel.Her dark eyes took in the rolling waves and her auburnhair danced on the gentle breeze that seemed to bekissing her cheeks softly with its coolness. The dress she

wore was black and hugged her form rather >Brie tightly, and it could not hide the stubs on her

shoulders of what were once beautiful wings... theywould grow back in time at least. She was barefoot, hershoes up with the wookiee... they set her balance offmore as it was anyway. She settled slowly>

Brie onto sitting in the sand to watch the moonlitwaves continue to roll in....

Jedi_Master_Sage rises from the water as the moonlit

waves roll in, his robe of naturally water resistant silk-fibres drying as it touches the air. He stands beforeBernie and nods to the wookiee "good evening"

Brie her eyes travelled up the form of herbeloved as he appeared from the ocean, like a waternymph being born, and a smile touched her lips"Evening" she said in a gentle tone...

Jedi_Master_Sage walks towards the wing-clipped angel"are you ok?"

Brie tucked her legs beneath her her toespointing out the end of the dark fabric skirt of the dressshe wore, and they curled into the sand a little. Her darkeyes watched the Gaian jedi as he approached, and shetipped her head slightly "there are many >

Brie levels of okay Tan, I think yes, prehaps I amone of them... but yet, not very high on the levels... I am

okay for I still have breath in my lungs and a roof overmy head... yet, am I okay with mental aspects of recentevents, no, I do not think I am"

Jedi_Master_Sage moves to sit down beside her "have you

considered therapy? its perfectly normal"Brie "therapy, now there is a novel idea, sittinglike a caged... or wing clipped bird" a pun was intendedthere... "whilst I have someone tell me exactly thatwhich my problem is, when, for free... I can tell myselfthe same thing" her eyes settled on his >

Brie face as he sat beside her, as if she werescanning and memorizing every aspect of it... "I willleave therapy to the madly insane... and work this outmyself... " she paused a moment, trailing well manicured

nails through the sand, as if in thought... >Brie "did you recieve my letter? I left it with

Ron... well my body guard did..." Jedi_Master_Sage :Yes, I came to find you as soon as I

could, I've been busy, I had to see my grand daughter8Dopper_NSF has joined the conversation.8Dopper_NSF is away.

Jedi_Master_Sage : dopper]Brie nodded gently and cast her hand through

the dancing auburn curls as the breeze caught it again...her eyes settling back on the rolling waves that wouldkiss the sand, then run away "that's alright... I am sorryif it appeared rather needy.. it was not a>

Dopper_NSF : well hello))Brie good day when I wrote it... how is your

granddaughter?"Brie :Dopper)

Dopper_NSF : well hello!,loca?))

Jedi_Master_Sage : beach] Jedi_Master_Sage : she's fine, struggling with some issues,

all of it part of her becoming a woman, she was beingstalked by a darksider and has been sent letters from abeing called Tarlax, the father of her half brother

Jedi_Master_Sage : .. sort of, my family becomescomplicated from Epsilon onwards


3/10

Jedi_Master_Sage : its not easy for her, raising her siblings

Dopper_NSF : can i meet up?)) Jedi_Master_Sage : sure]

Brie I am sure it isn't... yet, when it comes to the

transition from child to woman, it is one I know... I cantalk to her if you wish..." her fingers went back to lightlydrawing in the sand again, her eyes dropping towardsthem... her mind seemed distant, >

Brie she seemed distant... thoughts dancing inher mind, things she chose not to share, or did not havewords for...

Dopper_NSF from his Apt. he walks to 'central' with his listof things to get done, but he hasn't been to the beachfront in awhile. He decides to go tot the front

Dopper_NSF hits central and then heads towards thebeach

Jedi_Master_Sage : I'm sure she might like that, maybe afterthat.. have you considered taking some time away? maybe avacation?

Brie shook her head gently... and heard a grufffrom her wookiee guard as he spotted another on thebeach, she told him to settle down... then looked back toSage "no, I haven't, I know not where to go... nor if I wish

to go..."Dopper_NSF enters the beach front

Dopper_NSF : i dont remember if i know u or not, bernie i

think...))Brie :)

Jedi_Master_Sage nods to Dopper as he speaks to Bernie"maybe just for a week or two.. D'Cerris or maybe just tothe Waterfront hotel? anywhere to get you away fromthings that remind you of what you've endured could

help you find closure"Brie :you knows me... well my typist, I dunno if you know

this chara)

Dopper_NSF : lol, thtas a big help))

Dopper_NSF : i do know Sage, all NSF know masters, or

atleast know of them..))

Brie "I cannot get away from the memories Tan"she said softly "holiday or not... they follow me, quiteliterally" she meant the two stubs on her back where herwings had been. The angelic lead singer of Bernt Out,

was nothing without her wings, and until >Brie they had grown back fully, a sense ofmelancholy would wrap around her... her wings werewho she was... and she loved them... waiting for them togrow would be long and tedious...

Dopper_NSF walks over to the nubians, one of them beingthe jedi master Sage, and one thatlooked like a familairface

Dopper_NSF nodded back to Sage Jedi_Master_Sage : perhaps, but you can use methods to

strengthen yourself against themBrie "and what methods would they be?" she

asked softly, casting her eyes onto Dopper as heapproached, a slight tendril of fear gripping at her, andwriting itself momentarily over her strikingly beautifulface... before she closed her eyes and took a deep >

Dopper_NSF takes a deep breath,, takes out his comm andturns it to sound-notice , doesn't want ot intrude, so hetakes a seat that is a lil bit further from the two

Brie breath that lifted her shapely bosom, and letit fall as she exhaled... trying to remind herself, with Tanbeside her and the body guard a moment away... therewas no danger... none at all...

Jedi_Master_Sage : taking time away from Theed, talking tofriends.. just getting away from things, jedi do itoccassionally, we take sabbaticals

Jedi_Master_Sage : sometimes for a week or monthDopper_NSF his green-grwyish eyes casted over to her,

and then out towards the waves, was never good boutstartin a conversations

Brie :I am speaking with those I want to my dear, I am happyhere in theed, it is home, and is the most stable home I have ever

known... it is where you are, where thub is, where paul is, and talera... I

shall be fine, it has not really been that long since >

Brie everything occured, and that man... and his

death, in that cafe, did not do much for my staterecently, I am sure I will be fine... yet" she turned to lookat him " if I am not showing signs of improvement withina month... then, I promise you i will >

Brie take a holiday" Jedi_Master_Sage : alright.. but there is another reason Isuggested it.. I'm leaving Naboo for about a week, maybetwo.. I have a mission on Corellia

Dopper_NSF he was glad to get off the next couple of days, he'd been workin hard round the streets latly, and hehad been shorthanded time or two,feels Naboo is not ashealthy as the royals say

Brie "why did you not tell me this was the motivebehind your request earlier? are you worried I shall not

cope here in Theed without you?" she asked softly,although a small smile in the corner of her lips told herquestion was not entirely serious

Brie : brb)

Dopper_NSF : ok)) Jedi_Master_Sage : I was hoping I wouldn't have to Jedi_Master_Sage : ok]

Dopper_NSF wonders what his son is doing at the youthclub, looks over to sage

Brie : back)Dopper_NSF : ok))

Dopper_NSF : WB)) Jedi_Master_Sage looks to Dopper "good evening"

Dopper_NSF : ive gtg, be back later))Brie moved slightly in the sand, turning to face

him fully and settled her hand lightly on his lap "youneed not worry about me Tan, I shall be fine, just comeback safe"

Dopper_NSF : auto me ...))Brie : okies)

8Dopper_NSF has left the conversation. Jedi_Master_Sage : ok] Jedi_Master_Sage smiles "thats good to hear, I'll make sure

someone comes by to check on you if you wish"

Brie "if it will ease your worry" she said gently,and found she was finding it very hard to know what wasa touch too intimate with him, and what was accepted,and she raised her hand from his lap, moving it to his

cheek should her allow the soft, caring >Brie touch she offered... no one before had evermade her feel so much like a woman... and so cared for...she didn't know if he knew that, or would understandshould she explain

Jedi_Master_Sage takes his rough hand, calloused frommany hours of saber training and grasps her hand with agentleness that defies the power his limbs carry, keepingher hand where it is, he whispers close to her palm "youunderstand me in ways that few ever have.."

Jedi_Master_Sage :You're probably the most lustful,passionate and uninhibited beings I am likely to know..except maybe Siren.. but you understand the patience Ineed. I spent more time avoiding physical contact than somebeings live8rth_Thor has joined the conversation.

Brie smiled as he captured her hand, closing hereyes as he felt theirs together, she positvely loved histouch... and loved being near him "how I react, how I act,

the way i flaunt myself is just the oposite end of thescale as to your reactions of not being>Brie touched" she whispered gently... "both stem

from similar places, yet, we reacted different... so muchthe same, yet poles apart... "

Jedi_Master_Sage : thorn]rth_Thor (Sage)Brie : thorn)rth_Thor (Bernie)

Jedi_Master_Sage :jyme] Jedi_Master_Sage : so true.. so true. Is this what its like? to

be cared for? I'd forgotten..Host Jedi_Master_Sage kicked Brie out of the


7/10

chat room: come back8Brie has joined the conversation.

Jedi_Master_Sage : so true.. so true. Is this what its like? tobe cared for? I'd forgotten..

Brie "so had I" she said genlty, allowing him tokeep her hand where she had placed it on his cheek, yetshe allowed her thumb to genlty stroke over his skin..."but yes, this is what it is like... it feels good does it not?"her voice barely raising from the>

Brie gentle whisper it had become... her darkeyes opened once more as they gently studied his face,a small smile written on her red full lips...8rth_Thor has left the conversation.

Jedi_Master_Sage : It feels.. paradoxial, safe and yet

vulnerable.Brie her smile remained at his words... "thats

what makes it so wonderful... you don't know what is tocome.. but, you trust it won't be hurtful... you trust it willonly be joyous... to anticipate the next happy momentand imgaine what it could be... or, >

Brie this is what occurs in my mind" Jedi_Master_Sage says wistfully "its a risk.. one that

promises such rewards yet is so great a gamble"

Brie :yes, but when the dice are rolled... and you win... youwin so much... fear is normal when it comes to matters of the heart...but

then so is happiness... to know.. love... caring, is to have lived fully i

have always believed...

Jedi_Master_Sage : what is it they say? better to have lovedand lost than to never have loved at all? does that apply toall beings?

Brie :prehaps it does, i am unsure... i am no other being, butwho I am... yet, for any being that has the feelings we do, then yes, i

would say it does

Jedi_Master_Sage : So you believe the risk in itself, is areward, regardless of the result?

Brie :yes.. it may hurt like hell if the love is ever lost, butremembering that love... and knowing you felt it, knowing if even for a

brief moment it was there in your life... then the rewards outweigh the

pains...


8/10

Jedi_Master_Sage : but for one with the force.. wouldn'tsuch pain overwhelm the joy?

Brie : only if you let it... Jedi_Master_Sage : I must question such ideas.. I've seen

too many fall because of that..Brie : they allow themselves to live in the pain, to shut themoff to the wonderful memories... it is your choice in the end what you

remember... and what you discard, it may take sometime toi figure out

what is what, and it sucks for a while, but... if you a>

Brie : are strong in heart and mind, you get through Jedi_Master_Sage : I can only hope you're right.. but with

so many things.. the force can change everything Jedi_Master_Sage : its like we have different rules for us

Brie :yes and no... just because I don't have the force... my

heart could become dark with loss and pain, if i so allow it... hate is astrong emotion, so is hurt, it can eat at anyones soul... granted you need

to be a little more aware, but I have seen some pr

Brie :pretty dark NFU's Jedi_Master_Sage : but a normal being is not bound to the

light or darkside, they can dwell in whatever measure ofeither side they wish

Brie : why should they not be bound to light or dark, anyonecan become kind or evil... anyone is capable of atrocities... look at

Pauls home.. Isle, not one force user... or that is known of... yet, a groupof people make it their daily goal to intice fear >

Brie into others hearts... they slain men womenand children... before others, and for what reason? fromwhence does this stem from? fear... some from hurt, allfrom anger... at events they cannot change or control,and yet they attempt to... " she tipped her>

Brie head slightly studying Sage "now tell me,how these actions differ from that which a darksider withthe force may do? is not the actions of those on Paulshome and that of the Emperor similar... do not they bothseek to use fear to gain that which they >

Brie want" Jedi_Master_Sage : I agree with you, but for the ones you

speak of can choose the depths they dwell in. one with theforce can only be deep within one side or the other, not both

8Elie has joined the conversation. Jedi_Master_Sage : eli]

Brie :Eli)Brie : as can a force user decide if they are jedi, dark jedi,

sith or not... not all force users have made a choice... Jedi_Master_Sage : but they have that option and if theychoose to change, it is without their inner feelings beingaugmented many times over with the force

Brie : maybe it is slightly easier without the force, maybe it isnot Tan... you know not how it appears from a non force users point of

view, and nor have I the ability to see it from a force users view... all I

do know, is pain, and loss... can eat your soul>

Elie ooops...walked in on the lovers...)) Jedi_Master_Sage : lol np, im going soon]

Brie : until you care not about anyone... if you allow it... ibelieve evil or good, no matter who you are is a concious decision on

most part... to seek violence and revenge is a choice, to instead

forgive... another choiceBrie lmfao... ain't like we do much other than talk)

Elie : lol...)) Jedi_Master_Sage : Thats not entirely true.. I have been

without the force before.. for a short time

Jedi_Master_Sage : But I agree to some extent with whatyou're saying

Jedi_Master_Sage : [hey, you spend like 80 years without...you know... you'd wanna take it slow to, wait for the reflexesto not react badly]

Brie laughed softly... "at least to some extent... Ithink for us, that is the best we shall ever get... althoughI do hope we can agree on one thing..."

Elie ok...well I was just checking in...I gotta go carshopping today mine is dying...but after 390,000 milescan't blame it))

Brie : lmfao) Jedi_Master_Sage : yes?

Brie : no i dont think you can) Elie it is a 1991 model so its time I suppose...later all))

Brie let her eyes settle deeply on his "that, nomatter what, this... us is pretty awesome... "

Jedi_Master_Sage : in both the literal and common sense ofthe word

Jedi_Master_Sage stands "I have to go.. the sooner I do,the sooner I can return from Corellia"Brie smiled a little, then careful rose to her feet,

and moved towards him, placing a soft kiss on his cheekif he allowed "do be careful, when you return, i may besprouting new wings... we can only hope..."

Jedi_Master_Sage smiles and plants a kiss on her cheek aswell before retreating back into the safety of the water,the distance while tearing at him, also offers solace fromthe risks he is now taking.. he is opening his heart,

whether this leads to good or harm.. he is Jedi_Master_Sage >not ready to see Jedi_Master_Sage swims away, disappearing into the dark

depths of the ocean, not sensing the remote spy, asilent, distant watcher..

Jedi_Master_Sage ~ one who has been observing for a longtime now, the unknown spy looks away from hiselectrobinoculars and looks to his companion "this doesnot bode well for the prophecy..."

Brie watched as he moved off back into thewaters... and looked up as she felt the soft fur of thewookiee guards hand on her shoulder... he knew how toread Bernie, they had been friends for a while... and shewent to move off the beach with him

Jedi_Master_Sage ~ the second spy looks to the other"Patience, we have not had to directly interfere before..lets see how this pans out"
