Queen's Chamber
Mako managed to dodge the falling Queen, just barely. He was still far to close for comfort and took several more leaping steps back as the Queen thrashed and flailed.
He saw the opening, saw another leap for it. He resolved his mind to aid in the killing blow as the others...
Queen's Chamber
Mako felt it a moment before he saw it. The Queen was beginning to sway back, it's massive bulk suddenly becoming a threat to his well being. Cutting short the burst of Force light he moved quickly do dodge back, dancing away and out of range of the Queen's mass while holding...
Queen's Chamber
Mako observed as through a window as his beam of light struck him. The power off the Light had a clear and powerful effect on the Queen. The creature was clearly a creature of Darkness. A hangry one, judging by it's response to the removal of it's snacks.
Mako dodged away as...
Queen's Chamber
The dark tunnel led exactly where the Joined man had said it would, opening up into a large chamber. A line of humanoids stood before the Queen Killik, silently sobbing as they stepped one by one to their final fate. Dinner.
Corpses surrounded the Queen as she discarded...
big mound right
It was clear to Mako after a few moments that there was nothing to discover in the chamber. Other than the information that Theia was able to get out of one of the joined.
The Pyke Jedi Knight eyed the tunnel that supposedly led to the queen warily. It would be easy to lead...
Big Mound Right
The light of Mako's lightsaber would lead the way through the ever darkening tunnels until they finally came to a chamber. The first thing that hit the Pyke Jedi was the smell. The smell of death.
Littered about the room were corpses, appearing to have been dissected for some...
Team Big Mound
The tunnel delved inwards and down into the mound, a slow descent but a descent nonetheless. Mako found the lack of resistance... Unsettling. Either the Killik were not prepared to receive the Jedi Interlopers, or they were walking into a trap.
His credits were on the later...
Mako stepped out of the shuttle, light booted steps on the dirt of an unfamiliar world. The Killik mounds rose ahead of the Jedi strike team and he glanced up at the largest one for a moment. Cold. Darkness. This was not a place of the Light.
The Jedi deliberated, splitting quickly into teams...
Mako Krim sat amongst his fellow Jedi aboard the quiet shuttle that sped it's way deep into Killik territory. The Pyke Jedi's dark eyes were closed, had been for some time as he meditated on the past few days gone by, the present moment, and the conflict brewing on the horizon near and far...
Mako let Agialia conduct her investigation with the datapad, but he could hardly shake the inexorable pull that urged him forwards.
Onward. The Force seemed to whisper to him as he waited. It was not an eagerness for the fight, nor an anxiety about the future. It was a simple sense of purpose...
"I did." Mako nodded solemnly in response to the girls question. He could see the treats threatening to form in her eyes even as she tried to smile. He returned the smile, a small one. He did not interrupt her as she poured out words, her thoughts and feelings. Her fear of failure to make those...
Mako moved to block the incoming blade as T'vani swung again, raising his blade in a horizontal block of the ideal form. There was a quiet shutter instead of the expected clash as T'vani's blade deactivated from a slip of the finger at the final moment before the strike.
Mako froze. He watched...
Mako mentally chided himself for what he had said. He didn't want to discourage the girl from exploring other options in her training. At the same time, he did feel it was important to have a strong grasp of the basics before moving on to more advanced material.
He set those thoughts aside for...
Mako frowned as T'vani explained her previous experiences in learning from some of the other Jedi. Nothing she had done was wrong, but he clicked his tongue in disapproval at what she told him.
"Niman before Shii-cho?" He said, shaking his head. "One cannot be expected to run before they can...
Mako prepared himself for the arduous task of teaching the youth as he watched T'vani waver between the different selections on the wall. He put aside the duel that he had just fought, absentmindedly rubbing his still stinging wrist as he thought about where to start with the young one.
