*After spending several days upon Roon, she grows restless. The time has come. She knew what she had to do. While Raviel still slept in the hideaway, she packed her bag with the suit of Lirreka and the beads as well as the other items to go with the costume. She knew Raviel would object to her leaving so soon, hence the early start. Soon, she has the ship all packed up and ready to leave.*
*She takes a seat in the chair putting on the helmet to cover her platinum tresses and smiles with pleasure as the engines begin to come to life and the ship lifts out of the hangar.*
"Lirreka won't know what hit her until it is too late." *She chuckles with delight.*

*Myrkr: Home of the Ebonclaws. A protected system. Kyra uses codes Raviel had for it and luckily they still work. Soon she's making for a landing on the planet itself. The harrowing defenses behind her for now. The pad, seemingly out in the middle of no where beckons her...*

*The ship is brought down effortlessly as steam billows out of the vents of the ship during the cool down process. The ramp slowly lowers and a tall Danthiri woman steps out. Technicians bow upon seeing the Matron though a couple look a little confused. She walks past them all as they bow before her. "Lirreka" then enters the compound looking for herself. A deep chuckle resonates in her chest thinking of her response when she sees her.*

*Lirreka sits in the large center chamber, plants filling the corners and crawling to the ceiling. She sits on the floor wearing one of her practice outfits, (Kyra has one infact in her satchel) sitting crosslegged on the floor, seven spheres of crystal float above her head, a flash of memory as Kyra 'remembers' doing this excerise herself, it hones control and broadens ones 'grasp' of many objects at once.*

*She closes her eyes as she can feel Lirreka's presence and feel what she is doing. The memories of the training rush back to her this time empowering her in the suit. She is Lirreka...she can remember her memories as if they are her (Kyra's) own. The balance between the two identities shatters for a moment in time.*
"I must change to face this imposter."
*She slips into an empty room and changes into the practice suit. After a few minutes, she emerges from the room clad exactly as Lirreka is clad. Her footsteps ring out down the hallway as she enters the great center room. "Lirreka" has no need to hide her presence.*
"At last, the imposter shows herself."

*Lirreka opens her emerald-hued eyes to look upon.... herself. The same posture, the same expression, even the same bare feet. She smiles slightly*
"Indeed she has..." She offers in return, but also the seven spheres drift towards her doppelganger. Not in an attack but in a offer of joined practice...

*She holds her hand out and watches with a smile upon her face as the spheres rotate around in a circular fashion just above her hand. Her emerald gaze falls back upon Lirreka as she steps closer to her.*
"You are the one who is the imposter. Too long have you held this disguise. It is time to give it up."

*She notes how the spheres react but remains seated on the floor, cross-legged.*
"If I am the imposter surely you know my name... Matron... what is it?"

*The spheres spin faster as she thinks upon this. Her eyebrows furrow as a name doesn't come upon her lips. Her head rises and she looks at Lirreka with an even emerald gaze.*
"I am Lirreka, Matron of the House of Ebonclaws. Olath Ilharess. You are....surely you know your own name."

*She rises to her feet, their postures identical.*
"I do know my own name but I would see the mental acumein of the great Matron in action... Surely she has discerned my true identity by now.."

*She smiles back in turn as a part of herself actually comes through. Her mind trying to grasp her again pulling her back to reality.*
"You are the target of which I have sought for many months now. Tell me, how does it feel to have been betrayed by a man? To have your child ripped out of your womb before time? Ah, yes, I do know you, Lirreka perhaps better than you know yourself. We share a special bond."

*She bows her head for a moment, silence reins before she releases a deep breath. Across the bond there is a wellspring of grief, it always comes when that event is talked about. Whose grief is it though?*
"Yes indeed you do know me... do you know me so well that you can still feel the knife slide into your flesh, the burn of the poison on the blade?" She puts her hand to her abdomen almost instinctively "Can you feel the only reason you had to live and strive at that time dying within you knowing there is nothing, nothing anyone can do about it? Can you still feel the tears on your cheeks?" The geyser of memories within seek to flow.

*Her voice comes calmly yet haunted.*
"Yes, I do remember that day....very well. Still feel the horror of the blade poisoning my child within what was the safety of my womb. I changed after that....it made me become who I am today. The Matron known today in this galaxy.....yet are you the Matron of today?"
*Kyra forces that memory away and focuses on her own daughter knowing she cannot keep her identity secret for too long. Yet, part of her is longing to remain Lirreka....the pulling to let the other personality take over is very very strong.*
"Is this why you took another's child from her? To fill that empty womb with a child that was not your own and cause pain to the true mother? Plunging your blade deeper into the core of her being just because you could? No, there was another reason behind it."
*She begins to pace around Lirreka*

*She doesn't move, watching this twin move around her, measuring each step, each eyeblink against her own and finding no disernable difference.*
"You are the Matron, you know that answer as well... You know why it was done, you know it had nothing to do with vengence nor even capricious spite... You know this don't you Lirreka?"

*She smiles a genuine smile as she steps closer to Lirreka tilting her head slightly to the right as she brings her hand up to caress her face.*
"Yes, I do. Her mother abandoned her. You could show her real love and a sense of belonging. Afterall, she was part of your blood. You took in the very blood that circles through her veins from her ancestor. It empowers you and is now balanced with that of another...the light. You are unstoppable now."
*Her hand continues to caress the cheek of the other as her gaze searches Lirr's deeply and admiringly.*
