Upon her clandestine return to Onderon, Zorya ventured into the Crescent Royale Casino. This marked a pivotal moment, her first foray into the world without the companionship of Svarog, her Drexl hatchling. The decision was strategic, as the casino's opulent decor and discerning clientele would not tolerate the presence of her formidable companion.
Through Zorya's yellow, red-rimmed eyes, the casino unfurled like a realm from a distant dream. Neon lights danced across her vision, casting a kaleidoscope of colors that reflected the diverse array of species and characters populating the establishment. The ambient sounds of the casino melded into a symphony of chance and excitement — the clatter of sabacc cards shuffling, the rhythmic rolling of chance cubes, the distinct chimes of tregald booths, and the anticipatory murmurs around the jubilee wheel.
As she meandered through the establishment, the scent of exotic spices and the sweet tinge of luxury spirits wafted through the air, each aroma intertwining with the next, creating a heady mix that was both intoxicating and disorienting. Her journey through the casino was not just a physical traverse but a sensory exploration, a testament to her heightened awareness as a Sith.
Zorya's yellow, red-rimmed Sith eyes narrowed as she passed the sabacc tables, where players were deeply engrossed in the game, their expressions ranging from intense concentration to barely concealed despair. She paused, observing the interplay of chance and strategy, her sharp mind dissecting their tactics without a word.
At the chance cubes station, the distinct sound of dice clattering against the hard surface echoed in her ears. She watched dispassionately as fortunes were made and lost on the whims of these small, seemingly innocuous objects.
Moving on, Zorya encountered the tregald booths. The thrill of the game was palpable here, the players' excitement and tension almost a physical presence in the enclosed space.
Finally, she reached the jubilee wheel, its giant structure dominating the area. The wheel spun with a mesmerizing fluidity, captivating Zorya momentarily. The suspenseful pause before the wheel halted and the win indicator pointed to the lucky number was a moment of pure, undiluted anticipation.
