Within the large forest of this small planet Lirreka has constructed her retreat. Deep within the renovated ruins found here she constructed a series of buildings; half temple, half lab, all Lirreka with understated opulence with exotics from two galaxies hinting at her greater reach if not grip.

*She walks in hesitantly still not understanding what has happened. She thought she had talked to her mother but...it wasn't her. Now that strange lady brought her here. She looks around.*
"Hello? Is anyone here? Where have you taken me? Who are you? HELLO?"

Lirreka emerges from one of the many alcoved doorways as she walks into the main chamber. Her garments are loose and flowing, a dark shade of violet. She carries no weapons and her hair swirls behind her like a shimmering platinum cape.
"Ah good evening my dear." Her voice still carries an exotic if unrecognizable accent "I am glad to see your tribulations have not left you shaken. Welcome to my retreat. I am Lirreka."

*She looks at the woman and narrows her eyes.* "What are you? I haven't seen anyone like you before. What is going on? I'm still don't understand what is going on."
*Lirreka can see the young 15 yr old looks exactly like Kyra except for the shorter hair and different eye color.*

She doesn't press the girl's personal space but stands relaxed but elegant in her poise.
"My people are called the Danthiri as for what is going on I've decided to free you from that veritable prison your mother cast you into."

*She looks up at her.* "So you aren't going to take me back to my mother? Good. I don't want anything to do with her. I hate her!"

She agrees with the girl as she moves a step or two closer, all casually, lowering her voice to draw the girl closer.
"I have no intention of letting you back into her clutches. She's all but abandoned you to your fate. Oh I'm sure she claimed she was protecting you, that her world wasn't fit for you... Isn't it nice she has all of these pat responses."
She draws herself up in a mockery of Kyra's expression
"My world isn't safe for you Arael, that's why I sent you away to be safe!" Her voice a frighteningly good imitation of Kyra's.
She shakes her head at Arael...
"How could any mother do that to their child?"

*She walks closer to Lirreka and a smile almost plays across her lips at the mockery of Kyra.*
"Yeah. Some mother who leaves their child. If she really loved and cared about me, she wouldn't have given me away."
*She takes a half step even closer to Lirreka.* "How do you know her?"
*She starts to feel a little more at ease with the Danthomir.*

"My own children and I have had many in my time, have all learned early on that my life and the world in which I live is dangerous. I see they are trained as soon as they are able and given the weapons and skills they need to be at my side for I love them far too much to be parted... I know of no good mother that would cast aside her child like that..."
She steps to the side, starting towards a table that has fresh fruits and juices on them. She gestures offering them to Arael as well.
"I first met your mother on Dxun where she threatened me along with her Jedi Allies... Sabres drawn and blasters at the ready while I stood without weapon or sword... After defending myself as best as I could your mother stood before them and all but said she would see me pay for what I had done... I came to Dxun to study the history of the place yet I was treated as a villain. Knowledge has become a dangerous pursuit it seems in eyes of the Jedi and your Mother."

*She looks at Lirreka and then the table. She walks over and her stomach growls. She didn't realize earlier how hungry she was. She sits down at the table and waits for Lirreka to eat first.*
"I wish I could learn how to fight. I got so sick of being cooped up on Roon. Do you know how boring Roon can be? Anyway, I love adventure. However, everywhere I have been taken lately I have been cooped up...warned not to leave." *She wonders if she will be treated the same here.*
*She looks at Lirreka.* "Sounds like my mother has hurt more people than me. Hmph....calling her mother is too much of a service. She is nothing to me. You seem nice. I like you." *She smiles.*

She partakes of the food with relaxed ease. She doesn't eat fast but there is plenty to choose from.
"Please, help yourself. I fear you will find no meat on my table I do not partake of the flesh of living creatures."
Her smile is warm and open, almost motherly.
"Wanting to learn to defend yourself is a noble cause, and one all should take up. I have training facilities on another world and my own private facilities here... Although you may go where you wish I would suggest staying close to the compound, the area around it is wild and it is easy to get lost."
She eats a sliver of orange and smiles at Arael.
"I have never claimed to be nice but I am not as villanous as your Mother and her ilk make me out to be. One Jedi... Adena used to be my mate but she left me. When she returned here she has done nothing but spread my name and tell all how terrible and wicked I am That I am the second coming of Darkness itself." She shakes her head. "My world is a harsh one and I have had to be just as harsh to survive in it... They do not understand."

*She picks up an orange and peels it carefully. She pulls off a slice and pops it in her mouth. The sweet taste makes her smile.*
"Would you train me? I promise I am a fast learner." *She seems to perk up. The sparkle of adventure in her eyes.*
*She looks at Lirreka.* "I understand what you mean. Just because you look after yourself and try to survive doesn't mean you should have people dissing you. You don't deserve that. It sounds like Adena might have been jealous."
*She gets ready to put another slice into her mouth but stops and tilts her head to one side.* "How did you know where to find me? I mean I am happy that you did come, but why? I haven't heard of you before."

She stops as if considering for the first time the notion of training Arael... She plops in a few grapes as she considers.
"I am not saying I won't train you but, Arael, my dear... As you've heard from me I am not well liked here. Everywhere I go there are Jedi or worse trying to attack or ridicule me. Those that accept my aid are painted with the same brush. I'm sure your mother-" she pauses "-Kyra is thinking the worst and sending out her Jedi cronies to hunt you down to drag you back or possibly even worse, even I do not know the mind of a Jedi." She sighs for a moment "As to how we found out about you it was an offhanded comment your- Kyra made in earshot of my daughter, the woman that plucked you off Nar Shadaa. When she told me what was said about you I did some research and found out what I could. It wasn't easy, your mother did her best to absolve any record of you... One would think she was ashamed to even admit she had you... Anyway I had Tiera impersonate your mother to lure one of her Jedi allies to spirit you from Roon and you know the rest.." She smiles.

*She sits up straight and shows that same determined look that Kyra has shown Lirreka more than once.*
"I'm not scared of the Jedi or any of them. I wanna help. I'm not a kid. I am a woman. I can help you. Besides, maybe we can pay Kyra and Adena back for their nasty words about you."

"Arael, I do not doubt your fervor or your spirit. Despite your mother's attempts to quell it you have a strong presence about you. Jedi are something to be fearful of. They control the force and with it Lightsabres in staggering variety. Even I cannot wield such lethal weapons I would not know where to begin. I can see you trained and I would not let you leave without you being able to defend yourself. It will be hard. My daughter is the only one of my people that can possibly train you well enough to face them... I can teach you other things that will help you should you be cornered by one of them... I do not want you to be put at risk..."
Her words, her tone so motherly so full of concern. She puts a hand on Arael's shoulder.
"I do not mind their hurtful words, I have grown used to such displays. I would very much like to help this galaxy and I think that I can. The factuous wars that bring suffering to people and entire planets..." She shakes her head "I am sorry I am sometimes moved by the plight of the helpless. It will be difficult and they will say I have corrupted you or bent your will to my own... They will say things about you... Are you certain you wish to place yourself in such a situation?"
