    What Options Remain

    Rhea was a smart woman. She knew when it was over. Kal's power was far beyond anything she could have imagined. In some deeper part of her, the thought that he had such power angered her. But then the realization struck her that it was all meaningless anyways. For all his power, he was still...

    What Options Remain

    Fool. Rhea felt the twinge at her throat as Kal attempted to clench her trachea closed. But there was more force to it than that. He wanted to break her neck. She did not let him. The Force already gathered to her, she imagined an invisible donut-shaped barrier around her neck, which pushed the...

    What Options Remain

    Rhea could see that there would be no avoiding it. She had not expected Kal to be there, but it was fortuitous that he was. She could settle her business with Alphonse later. There were more important matters to attend. She called the Force to her, allowing it to gather within her, coiling...

    A Promise Kept

    "Indeed." Rhea's reply was simple, but there was a certain pride behind it. Still, she sensed that something had begun to creep in and tempt him off of his current path. If she meditated on this further, she was certain she would learn who the culprit was. And, from there, the issue could be...

    A Promise Kept

    But see through him, she did, for even his refusal to turn and face her was an answer to one as observant as Rhea. What Leviticus had failed to understand was that, as an Echani, she had ways other than the Force of discerning his intentions and feelings—his stance, for instance, was the most...

    What Options Remain

    The Yusanis swung into high atmosphere above Mustafar moments after reverting to realspace. Rhea sat in the cockpit of her Star Courier examining life-form readings. When she located a lone life form out on the far volcanic rivers of the northern hemisphere, she adjusted course and dove into the...

    From Fear Comes Courage

    "I require nothing more of you." Rhea was ready to go. Her piece was done and revenge was calling. There were other events to set in motion. "Even so, there is one last thing I should mention. Your Council will not permit you to act on the information you have learned here—certainly not if they...

    From Fear Comes Courage

    "You misunderstand me." Rhea said when the girl was done. "I am not like the savage brutes that roam this galaxy, wishing for nothing more than the Jedi Order's collapse—and the deaths of all within it. Defeated, perhaps. I merely wish them to see that they — and their teachings — are wrong...

    From Fear Comes Courage

    "Kal Vox is many things; but manipulative? No. He hasn't event he faintest control over his own emotions to be effectively manipulative." Rhea did not hide her own disgust for the Shadow. Perhaps seeing that she felt similarly towards Kal would make her cause more sympathetic to Nora—or perhaps...

    From Fear Comes Courage

    "Because he is a mild inconvenience to me and a cancer to you—or are so quick to forget what happened the last time members of the Order turned a blind eye to the darkness growing in one of their own?" Rhea's voice was sharp and accusatory. She did not need to gesture to the woman's scar, or...

    From Fear Comes Courage

    Rhea made no effort to defend herself—she did not draw a lightsaber or begin to gather the Force to her. It was a gamble, but she had no intention of fighting the scarred girl. Instead, she rebuked the girl: "And so what if I am? A servant of the dark side on the one side and a servant of the...

    From Fear Comes Courage

    "Who am I?" Rhea seemed amused by the question. The girl and she had crossed paths many times and yet Nora did not recognize her for who she was. "I am a shadow. But not of the kind you have become familiar with. Who I am is of little consequence. I have come to you with vital information for...

    A Promise Kept

    Rhea scanned Leviticus carefully. Something was off... This Exile had always been unbalanced, but what she glimpsed within him now was something more. Something deadly. But whatever it was was concealed from him as well as her. "I leave that assessment to you," she answered cryptically. She...

    From Fear Comes Courage

    Taleucema was a difficult place to hunt a Jedi. Rhea had heard an echo go out into the galaxy, which was then answered by a similar echo—though one infinitely darker. Responding, she arrived on Saleucami: a volcanic world in the far Outer Rim. As she neared the source, whispers filled her mind...

    Shades of Rheason

    The man knew pitifully little of betrayal if his retort was to approach her with fists raised after she had just revealed to him that the Echani ceremony was a ritual she held as merely a tool to manipulate. The moment he committed himself to a real punch, she opened her hand towards the ground...
