Zori sighed as her long দিন ended.
For starters, because of her unintended nap. She was being docked a day's pay on her পরবর্তি check, to pay for the embarrassing scene.
Add that to her boyfriend's surprise of dumping her. Hadn't even প্রদত্ত her the curtisy of allowing her to stay the night. Just had her bags packed and waiting at the door.
The hmpf....hmpf of her replacement, as she had to tell the prick she'd have to come দ্বারা in the morning for the rest.
Taking up her overnight bag. Zori cursed the stranger for her string of bad luck. Never knowing that her night had only just begun.

Jorg settled down at some noisy backslide of an inn. After Vizan decided to turn back towards Courasaunt's main city."You're kidding right? This place won't have a বিছানা without a disease, অথবা rather we'd be lucky if it only carried one." His brother chuckled."What the mighty Watch afraid of germs?" Jorg narrowed his eyes. "You don't make graduate দ্বারা being stupid অথবা overly risky. Remember, your the only male heir father will ever be able to recognize." Vizan's face soured. How could he ever forget. Their father never stopped reminding him.
Especially during the presentation of the eligible maidens of the council's chosing. The whole idea made him shiver.
"Father has commanded me to chose a bride when we return." Jorg couldn't hide the cringe. Seeing the reaction, Vizan smiled.
"Thanks I feel the same way. Are আপনি sure there's no way আপনি could take my place? Even if its just for the honeymoon." The Crown Prince eyed his doppleganger.
"You know I would die for you. Though what your suggesting goes way beyond brotherly অথবা my obligations of bodyguard. Even if I did. Those kriffing force-user chewing beasts of the council would be all over me in a nano-second. Sorry, but we could take our time getting home."
Vizan laught. Time for Jorg could mean as little as an ঘন্টা অথবা as long as 2-3 years. They grabbed their packs and headed inside the troublesome inn.
Meanwhile at the back, Zori climbed up to her sister's living quarters. Knocking hopefully loud enough to be overheard.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Master Kala rose from his council seat. "I know this is disturbing news. Trust me I did not recieve it well myself. Master Stafan, was well respected amongst us. It is perhaps why his deception worked so well." Which meant it would breed suspicion and distrust. Not only within the council, but the public. Kala shook his head. He did not want to return to the days where users had to be rescued অথবা kidnapped from over supersitious villagers,parents অথবা themselves. "How did this mere human child know of Stafan's stain, when we did not?" Remarked the twilek Master Ashon concerned.
Before Kala could answer Master Korrel snapped his Great White teeth.
"More to the point. What are we going to do about this disturance of power she has brought?" Kala frowned. Korrel liked to goad them into action.Yet in this rare moment, he was in full agreement. They could ill afford to have the Mandalorian's gain this disturbed girl.
"We've had reports of queer flashes in the sky near the Dri Mountains. " Master Kala informed them. Some of the few humans they did have on the council, chuckled.
"Probably drunk, over tired travelers অথবা the supersitious rabble." Master Manni smirked. Master Korrel growled his disdane of the newly made members.
"Well then আপনি won't mind, going up there and checking it out. If nothing else আপনি can calm the locals and be good public emmissarries to renew the faith in what we do."
Master Manni stood up and smiled bowing. While batting at a paling companion's frantic hand.
"It would be our pleasure to unmask the phennominon and better our image amongst the little people." Master Kala stiffened, as he clamped down on his anger. He dismissed the room. Korrel grabbed the two younglings on their way out. Informing them that he'd had the foresight to have what they needed on stand by, before re-entering the council chambers where Kala waited. Closing the doors tightly he turned on his cousin.
"No bantha shit, cousin. Tell me what she is." Kala sat down shaking his head. "I'm not sure I could tell আপনি for positive. All I know comes from legends and whispers of rumor. Nothing concrete, nothing real enough.Nothing that you'd readily believe."
Korrel frowned. There was little his cousin would say that wouldn't be believed, all save one."No. That's not possible. There must be another explaination. Perhaps a new species of changling." Kala raised his tired eyes, and shook his head. "Korrel she melted a slave's chains দ্বারা hand. As easily as one might pull off a robe.That and the complexity of her powers. I could literally feel the bound souls.This is no changling." Korrel folded his arms, and frowned. "Nothing from that monk?"
Kala shook his head."I'm afraid he may not have survived." Korrel shook his head, then smirked. Master Manni had been no fool.
Master Steai smacked his fellow human jedi councilmember on the back of the head.
"Why did আপনি have to open your ugly mug? আপনি know they'll hold this against us. That and I had plans for the rest of the week. Thanks big time." Master Manni smiled.
"I opened my lovely mouth because who is she going to trust more. Some dried out alien she's just met অথবা us, who she's known for a few days." Master Steai covered his face with his hands and slowly dragged them down.
"How in all the galaxies did আপনি ever win through the trials?" Manni smirked as they picked up their old near toothless Siti tracker.
"That's my little secret. Now come on. The sooner we head out. The আরো chances আপনি have of salvaging your plans."
His fellow jedi twisted his face. " I hate it when আপনি make sense."
------------------------------------------------------------
Zori set down the overnight bag on the steps. As she gave up her knocking and went around to the front of the establishment. Going in she grabbed one of the hired girls."Flower where's my sister?" ফুল pointed towards the smokey section of the bar, but grabbed Zori's arm.
"Don't Z. Not if আপনি want to see the পরবর্তি hour." Which only made her desperate to see her little sister all the more. ফুল shaking her head went to snuggle up to one of the Spit and Polishes hopefully newest clientel. When Zori let out a blood curdling scream. Jorg and Vizan stood up. Jorg reached the scene first due to the sad looking bar maid that had taken to Vizan. He'd felt the girl's talent surge অগ্রবর্তী in a sudden shocking rush of horror. He turned toward the bar. There in a preserved jar was a slip of a girl's head, except it wasn't dead. Looking to his left, the barkeep was safely behind his thug. Who was not fairing so well.
Zori' s anger and hatered burned like molten lava through her vains at the sight. The bastard had gone too far this time. "Nice to see আপনি again." He'd smiled. A smile which he'd হারিয়ে গেছে when she nearly sliced his throat with a throwing knife. The fun had begun. Picking up the dulled knives from the table. She'd artfully made two of Made's men falsetto's for the rest of their lives. The third was caught trying to decide if his boss was worth it, when his employer shot him in the back. Sliding like silk, the girl drove a broken bottle into the man's stomach. Neatly backing away as he হারিয়ে গেছে his battle to hold onto his innards.
Jorg caught the girl just as she collapsed.
"What the hell was all that about?" Vizan মতামত প্রদত্ত as he arrived on the scene. The barmaid peered around him. The abused girl started to laugh and then kicked at the dead body til her face was spattered.
"You want to know. This piece of scum হারিয়ে গেছে a bet to one of those long necked freaks from Kamino. Except he didn't have the dough so he gave him his wife. As long as she came প্রথমপাতা alive, they were allowed to do anything to her." Vizan looked disgusted at the very thought of such an idea. Jorg nodded towards the bar. Vizan looked. Thanking his good senses that he'd not yet eaten. Perhaps not for a couple of days. The girl's head smiled from its jar, then the last remnants of Zori's family died. No better revenge could have প্রদত্ত a sweeter sending then seeing her older sister do the deed.
Jorg looked down at the girl he held আরো closely. It was the same one from the ship. Sending out his user talents he felt the warmth of welcome and acceptance. It made his guilt of being what he was lessen. "Are আপনি alright brother?" Vizan touched his shoulder. "Yes, just tired. That's all."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"So what were your big plans, anyways?"Manni asked his long time friend. "I did have plans to look over my predicessor's journals. Hoping to find a way to one of their Houses of Power."
Manni rolled his eyes. "Those were your big plans? Those old nuts didn't even write in any language I've ever seen. We were lucky they even talked in ours." Steai's eye's widened.
"You went through my reasearch. How did আপনি get passed my locks?You aren't some closet Sith are you?" Steai put a hand on his saber.
"If I was you'd already be dead. No, I'm not a closet Sith. But আপনি need to be আরো creative with your locks. I'm not the only one who's been through your papers. Master Korrel says your too দ্বারা the book." Steai's mouth gaped.
"Please Steai. আপনি look like Master Kala, after he gets out of the pool. All gaspy like."
Steai shut his mouth and grumbled. "Look I'll help you, প্রদর্শনী আপনি how to loosen up. After all were the only two humans on the council."
A growl interupted them."Will আপনি be quiet thse both of you. Too damned noisy দ্বারা far. Couldn't hear the beasty breathing if it was right under us, with আপনি gabbing like two old women."
