Searching for Allies (Open)

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She turns around startled.* "Ilhar, when did you return?"

[Triune]

*She smiles at Arael and walks over to hug her. A warm motherly embrace, the kind mothers give their children to keep the nightmares or storms at bay. There is a serenity in her movements.*

"A while ago, long enough to hear your desire to seek revenge against your mother... You know she has fallen?"

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She welcomes the embrace and looks at the floor ashamed.* "You are the only mother I know, Ilhar. As for Kyra, yes, the night you asked me to touch her mind, I could see the darkness. I knew then....and saw the things she would do."

[Triune]

*She brushes her fingers through Arael's hair*

"I would bear you from my own womb if I could my Darling.. To face her, Selae she calls herself now... You cannot be seeking vengence... Anger and hate will cloud your mind and you will need all of your wits about you to face her. In her own way she still loves you and seeks to protect you from me.." She shakes her head at that "I do fear for your safety in this endevor Darling..."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

"Protection from you? You haven't done a thing to me but show me love and acceptance. She has slammed your name and your reputation for no reason. I can't let her continue to do so, Ilhar. I must confront her."

[Triune]

"As she sees it I stole you from her and have twisted your mind against her." She smiles and kisses Arael on the cheek "Darling my reputation was never stellar to begin with. I'm sure I've been called far worse then what Selae can muster. She found out first hand what it is to stand against the Matron in single combat, I let her live to carry a message to her master..."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She puts her hands on her hips shaking her head like she didn't hear Lirr right.* "You fought her and didn't kill her? You could have ended it....why did you let her go?"

[Triune]

"Because I needed a message carried back to her Master, because she needed to learn fear... Because Death never ends something as twisted as a Sith. Like spectres they linger and grow stronger even after Death the light will not accept them. Defeating her taught her the fate of all that think because I do not often fight that I am incapable of it... I end lives as I choose not when they choose..."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She bows her head feeling the sting of her words.* "Forgive me, Ilhar. I guess there is much I still need to learn."

[Triune]

*She lifts Arael's face to meet her gaze, a smile on her face*

"There is no need for apologies my Daughter... There are things that only time can teach, I have had much time in my existance so I can see things in a different light. There are many that deserve death but many that die deserve life. Even I am hindered in my ability to return the dead to life... Until then I kill only when there is no other choice." She hugs Arael "Also think of the torment she must have felt falling to me."

[The Madet Legacy]

*Steps out of the Legacy*

"So.......I guess that this is Lirreka. I always thought we'd meet in a fight.....I guess I was wrong!"

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She sighs* "Then what do we do? I have felt her strength and power growing."

*She turns to Bo* "You are a guest and shall treat Ilhar with respect or answer to me." *Her eyes glare at him dangerously*

[The Madet Legacy]

"You misunderstand me, Arael. I have tons of respect for Lirreka. I only said that I had always wished to first meet her in some sort of fight!"

[Triune]

*She puts a hand on Arael's shoulder*

"Timing is everything my Darling. There will be a time for you and her to face one another. It will come soon enough. You must however master your feelings for her and face her with focus and control, not anger."

*She looks to AJ and smiles slightly*

"Well we did meet in battle though we did not exchange blows." Her enigmatic knowing grin blossoms on her lips.

[The Madet Legacy]

"Sorry...I don't recall."

"I remember!! You must have been that person who let us escape Onderon!!"
