Heartache

[Rue "null" tepmuart]

Concord dawn

0000 hours


..The cold months..​

On one of her many adventures, rue had lost possession of her hammer, part of her was absolutely furious, but she had received a transmission from someone familiar… one of her biggest regrets, a burden she had carried since she learned of her brother's fate, a phantom that she knew would come eventually.. Feifi… the little wyrmling.. When she was in her ship, rue had a breakdown, a full blown panic attack..

The snow drifted lazily to the ground beneath rue's feet as she speedily walked, she knew it was a trap, but rue had to try.. Both her honour as a smith and her heart as her only family called to her to try to bring her back, save her before it was too late, rue didn't know if her heart could handle it if she would be forced to kill her last living family member..

Then she saw her.. And rue truly understood the horror before her.. The pain feifi must have endured at the hands of the sith..



<“Wyrmling..” >



Feifi cut her off, as rue looked silently, heartbroken.. No.. please.. Not this.. Anything but this.. Rue fumbled drawing her katana style vibroblade, nearly dropping it as feifis saber slammed into it, sending her back slightly, before she was forced to counter with a downwards slice, being blocked once more.

<“Feifi.. please!”>

 

[Feifi Candorus]

This was a long time coming, feifi waited into the boreal forest near concord dawns northern hemisphere, the lazy snowflakes drifting down towards her, feifi would extend her hand to a snowflake gently.. Part of her didn't want to do this.. But she had to, how else was she going to get information on solus.. It had to be done.. Feifi felt pangs of grief.. But she had to fight through it, then she heard it.. A voice.. One that mayhaps in another life she would have ran to for an embrace..

Wrymling…

<“You won't find its mercy I choose this time aunt… I expect the same thing from you..”>

Part of feifis heart was tearing doing this, hearing her plea with her, rue loved her, she knew it.. And she loved rue too.. But it needed to be done.. She must be removed.. Feifi ignited her saber, charging and slamming it down to strike rue, but she was blocked, but she managed to stumble her aunt.

Rue would be kicked onto her back, before rolling to avoid a strike from feifi, getting grazed in her shoulder, she grunts painfully, before reaching for her weapon again, thrusting it up right into feifis chest.

Under rues helmet, tears began to fall, blurring her vision, and the realisation of what she had done hit her like a truck when feifi coughed blood, the blood dripping down her helmet and onto rues visor, rues arm felt limp, as feifi would activate her saber gauntlet in one last attempt, rue would use her gauntlet, saving her life, but her arm from her elbow was sliced clean off, as rue screamed in pain both physical and mental.

She would weakly rise.. Adrenaline fueling her, as she would with her only hand, reach for her holo, activating its emergency distress beacon, rue felt her strength dwindling to her wounds, as she collapsed next to feifi falling unconscious.

[Feifi Candorus]

Feifi knocked rue down onto the ground with a kick, slashing downwards as fast as she could, she managed to snag her shoulder, hah! Yes! Progress! She would raise her blade to strike down, was wide open, preparing a final blow herself, unable to stop rues quick retort, and too conflicted to react in time, mayhaps part of her wanted the pain to end.. Whatever it was, feifi hesitated, and she paid the price, as the blade went right into her chest…

But the concordian wasnt going to give up easily, she rapidly felt her energy fading.. NO not like this! She would ignite her saber gauntlet, moving to slice her aunt, but the saber was stopped by her arm, as she sliced it clean off, but that was all she could muster, she would collapse at her aunt's side.. And then she saw it.. The stars.. So beautiful.. For the first time in a long time.. Feifi felt… peace.. The suffering, the nightmare, the hatred, it was over.. Finally.. She was free..

She would hear her fathers voice.. Without the helmet distorting it.. As she felt his comforting arms wrap around her, she simply cried.. Not of sadness.. But of relief.. Finally she was with her father again.. As the two faded off into the manda together.. Finally at peace..
