She wasn’t expecting Master Eridan to attack her so quickly. It seemed like it was only instinct that prevented the blade from scorching her as Altina evaded the lightsaber’s arc. Her lightsaber came to hand and ignited as Altina scrambled away to create distance. Altina held her blade out like...

Having limited exposure to the galaxy, Altina did not know anything about Rhen Var, so she didn’t question Master Eridan’s request to procure cold weather gear. Even while they were in the atmosphere, instruments started to feel cold in her hands. It was only then that she understood. Rhen Var...

“Yes, master,” she answered Kyp. Although separating again after the months apart brought a small degree of annoyance, Altina understood that her feelings in the matter were inconsequential to the lives at stake. As Master Eridan made his way to the landing pads, Altina took her own path...

Her master’s slimmer and gaunter appearance did not escape Altina, though she could not guess the reason for it. The best she could surmise is that whatever happened, he was not taking good care of himself in the process. Honestly, she could probably have made sure that he doesn’t lose weight...

It has been a long time. Too long, in fact. Being left behind in the temple left her with far too little to do outside of the training that Kyp instructed her to do on a daily basis made Altina extremely bored. Once she sensed that he had arrived on the planet, Altina was immediately out of her...

As the team approached the gateway, Altina felt uneasy. Was it her own paranoia? It was never easy to tell. Her natural instinct was to stay away from it, but Master Eridan had been trying to teach her to face those fears. With Master Sati taking the lead, Altina felt some comfort, but it was...

Even when he raised himself to his feet, Altina couldn't help feeling worried. Looking around, Altina could not find any sign of a struggle. She could not fathom why he laid out in the sand, but her excitement buried her thoughts of the matter. "Yes, I have the crystal," she answered, raising...

The humidity was less discomforting than the wildlife that stalked them. She could sense their gazes and feel their hunger. It was best to get out of the open as soon as possible. Altina opened her mouth to add her answer to Master Dubh's question, but was distracted by an unfamiliar voice. It...

Why did I come? The thought stilled Altina to her core as the ship approached Dathomir. That was the planet she ended up marooned on not too long ago. The planet where dark powers temporarily took control of her body. It would be understandable to want to avoid the planet altogether for a while...

The journey back to the ship was remarkably uneventful. Altina checked each landmark as she passed them, to make sure she was going the right way. The disappearance of the sandstorm made the barren landscape just as foreign as the sandstorm itself. Once the ship started to come into view, she...

DATHOMIR The spirit's hold on her waned even as she attacked. Perhaps it was part of the reason why she was thrown aside so easily, like a child tossing aside a doll. She tumbled several feet before coming to rest on the ground. The spirit groaned as she came to rest before her body suddenly...

DATHOMIR The spirit that possessed her was the first to leap in to attack. The roar that escaped her lips was completely unlike Altina, though the spirit still had to use Altina's saber-pike in a spear-like fashion. It did not matter who she attacked, only that she must attack. Defend. Attack...

DATHOMIR As the Forgotten spoke, it became clearer that the possession is imperfect. Something about the Jedi padawan continued to seep through what should have been total control. The Dathomiri spirit was about turn towards the glowing pool, to force Altina to drink more of its contents, when...

DATHOMIR The Mandalorian was quick to size her up. Let him. Even if he were strong enough to defeat her, there was far more in play than just the two of them. One was quick to choose to exit: his menacing posture diminished by his retreat from the room. The rest eventually followed. Altina, or...

DATHOMIR As the pain subsided, so did her awareness. Slowly, she got to her knees, huffing as she regained her bearings. For some reason, she couldn't hear anything other than the others talking. But she did not question it. Just like she did not question her purpose: a defender of the galaxy...
