The skyscrapers reached so high, their pointy spires appeared to have wounded the horizon, which bled in fibrant crimson and scarlet. However it was actually sunset, who coloured the sky in its warm nuances. It was also sunset who gifted the young girls golden curls with a - what a boy once called it - sinful foxsheen. The rest of her appereance was wraped in a redish veil of light as well, yet the eye area together with the skin surrounding it were claimed by that very color before she even set foot on Coruscant.
Master Alister never took her here, as he didn't seem to have any wish to see his old home, he even avoided the sector as a whole. She always wondered what had caused him to break with his former life back then..
The first time . The first time to witness Coruscants iron beauty, that long ago had banished every form of natural green of it's surface. The air didn't have a sour taste, as she was once been told , yet it wasn't as soothing as on other planets Nova had visited. Planets which weren't subjected to it's own children yet.
Her right hand, the unscathed one, rose, her fingertips slid over the fine fabric of her scarf, following the path it was taking, from one shoulder to another. Maybe it was a unconciously adjusting move, for she had dressed in her finest robe for this occasion. She knew the ones she intended to see were more in favour of an unadorned style, still she was afraid that her dressing up in a similar way would give the impression of her being an intruder in the disguise of a member.
She had left Rudy and BEE in the ship, as she knew this path was hers, and hers alone. But paths weren't always easily followed and an unexperienced pilgrim, who had just lost his guide, sometimes seemed to have a tendency for poor decisions of which route to take.
The young Elgrin found herself in the depths of the lower levels without being able to recall how she came to be there. Stale air flooded her lung, which fullfilled its purpose with growing effort. The green of her eyes fled from one grimm face to the other, sliding of square jaws and squinty eyes, hoping to find a smile, or sense a hint of light in someone. Concern conquered her heart, and grew quickly into pure desperation. Master Elgrin had always claimed the force would guide her, and yet she could not hear it's calling nor feel it's subtle tinge.
Her vision blurred and she could taste salt on her lips, even though her lashes were unyielding guardians of her tears so far. Her steps took her just a small strech further, before she remained motionlessly. All of the sudden something alerted her. Surrounded by all this darkness, her emotions dulling her judgement even further, she wasn't able to tell the spark apart from the blackness which threatend to suffocate it.
In an astonishing quick move she hurrled around, causing her curls and the seam of her tunic to dance. Her body exposed her apprehension of an attack, as she was taking a defensive position. Her eyebrows furled and underneath her green was glowing fiercly, insinuating she wouln't be the easy prey her youth and doll-like features actually promised to someone with bad intent.
A moment, the wing stroke of a butterfly only, passed by, as Novas glance bound to a deep, clear blue, that dominated the clear-cut features of its master. Calmness defined the face she was looking into. The young girl was shaking, her right hand hovering just above the hilt of her lightsaber. Yet as her gaze fell, she finally became aware of the robe he was wearing. She let go of the breath she was holding, embracing the relief it granted her. Yet she wasn't entirely able to stop trembling. Nova wanted to rise to speak, but remained silent. She just held the strangers gaze, her expression softening when she finally not only saw him, but felt his presence in the force, bright and pure.
