Katarina was the first to rise. She quietly climbed to her feet and stepped up behind Zilfer silently. After a few moments, she spoke softly so as not to wake Elifain. "What happened to him?" she was obviously referring to the illness purging that she had witnessed earlier. She stood with her arms crossed over her breasts as she waited for a reply.

"Some things should never come to be," started Zilfer as he seemed almost disinterested in the topic. "One of the Emperor's experiments was unleashed on the recovering planet of Corellia. Elifain contacted me on what he should do for he had only found one survivor on the planet, and I ordered him to glass the planet. If I had known he was infected with the virus back then I probably would have killed him as well. That isn't the first planet I've decimated."
The words flowed off Zilfer's tongue like venom, from a silver tongued snake. The familiar feeling of emptiness in the force when the planets had been snuffed out revisited his memories. "He's gone through a transformation. He's not quite the same man he was, and he is far too young for this galaxies cruelty. Twenty is hardly the time to throw your life away, but the Empire continues to destroy thousands of lives, and convert people to the Emperor's thinking. I pity those within the Empire..."
Zilfer was struck with a single thought that encompassed all his feelings about the Empire and the man behind the plot. He was curious as to how one line could so fully describe something so complex.
"He will give them death.... and they will love him for it."

Kat blinked as she listened to Zilfer and then she nodded slowly, letting what he had said about the Empire sink in. She lowered her eyes to the ground obviously thinking about her own affiliations with the Empire. After a few seconds, she turned and walked back to Elifain and the dimming fire, sitting on the ground quietly. She pulled her Imperial communicator from her pocket and just stared at it thoughtfully.

Elifain remained on the ground, eyes closed, despite listening to what zilfer had said. He calmly opened his eyes, feeling his strength slowly start to return, before saying, And they shall hate us for saving them... He started to sit up, before reaching out with the force, to the dying fire, and began to absorb its energy, snuffing the flames, but strengthening himself.
He got up, and walked over to his armor, taking notice of his strange new arm, and began donning his weapons and armor. It felt even heavier than when he had last worn it, but it would still be needed.
And despite being young, i still have a duty to perform in this, one i have taken upon myself, it seems. The empire may be willing to sacrafice lives for his efforts, but I am determined to stop him, before he drags the entirety of the galaxy into the darkness... He turned, looking down the hill, his helmet removed, before turning back towards zilfer.
Thank you again, for giving me my life back. He said, as he did so, with a weak smile.

Katarina watched Elifain for a few moments and then she stood up, chunking her communicator off the cliff with a growl. She turned to look at Elifain and she took a step toward him, offering one hand as she spoke softly. "I'm Katarina Blythe... take me with you. I can't go back to the Empire. Not now..." she sighed softly.

Elifain blinked as Katarina stepped towards him, and sighed.
There in lies the problem. My path will lead me to the empire. If you want somewhere to go, Head to mandalore. He shrugged and said, My name is Tracinya drakain, though.

"Hate breeds more hate. That is the way of the world it seems, but I guess it cannot be avoided. Everyman is responsible for his own path, and the teachings of the Jedi, Sith, and Kumori can only show you a way to your path, but the labels cannot truly describe who you are." said Zilfer as he smirked at Elifain's determination. "You have a long way to go if you wish to defeat the emperor. Even a sharp mind will find himself confounded by the Emperor's tactics."
Zilfer stood up summoning his lightsaber to his body that he had taken off during the night. "Well I guess we should head down the mountain for now. I've helped you, and I hope you will repay others in kind." said Zilfer as he started to lead the way down, as the day began to brighten up.

Elifain smirked, to his master, and followed him downhill. He was thinking of what he had done, and what he needed to fix in his own mind, as he quietly replied, The path i walk is not one that changes with the times.

Katarina looked around quickly and then she jogged to catch up with the other two. As she started downhill, she spoke to Drakain... she didn't want to go into hiding, and his path actually interested her. "Mandalore? I've never been there... but why would your path lead you to the Empire? And won't that be suicide alone? I've seen the Emperor one time and he creeps me out..." she was certainly a lot more talkative now that she had rested, perhaps a little annoying even.

Elifain glanced back at the woman following them, and said, If i can weaken the empire, before the mandalorians make their move, then it is worth it. With a shrug. He turned back to face the direction zilfer had been facing, before adding, If i sit back and watch as the empire begins striking on planets, that don't deserve their fate, such as nar shadaa, then it will drive me crazy. I cannot stand still, and watch.

"Lets see how your buddies are doing down below. Sounds like they've already begun construction." said Zilfer as he lead them back to Kankage. It wouldn't be long before they reached Kankage, probably only a two hour hike at the most. They would pass by numerous waterfalls, and strange foliage. "If you are to leave soon Elifain, then I wish you luck."
<exit back to the temple of the force>

Yuki watched as Zilfer helped Elifain with the force, she watched as Elifain's prosthetic arm fell off painfully and it made her somewhat queasy to see this happening to a teammate but she had to remind herself that Zilfer was helping him not trying to kill him. As it started to get darker and colder Yuki went off the find wood for a fire instead of growing some... just so that she didn't have to watch the torturous things happening to Elifain just so he could be rid of the damned virus that was killing him slowly. She came back when she felt she had enough wood and set it on the ground in a pile then surrounded the pile with small rocks so the fire would not spread. Yuki then looked to Elifain just in time to see him fall to the ground. Zilfer also looked exhausted and she beckoned him over and showed him she had made a fire pit. He lit the fire with what strength in the force he had left and Elifain laid down next to the fire falling asleep. A suspicious girl came over to them, Yuki had felt her watching them but now she seemed more like she was in distress so Yuki ignored the fact that she had been watching them and let Zilfer invite her to join them, as Yuki sat next to Zilfer and started to fall asleep infront of the warm fire.
That morning Yuki was the last to wake, for she was tired from restless dreams last night. She dreamt about the past and about Lord Nanashi and about Yukiro and the horrors that haunted her almost every night. When Yuki finally awoke the fire was dead and the sun was rising high in the sky filling the planet with it's warmth. Yuki realized everyone was leaving and got up and started down the mountain with me.
<OOC: Just making it so Yuki hadn't fallen off the face of the planet when she climbed up this mountain.>
