"I can sustain approximately half that speed, with a rest partway through. If the gate settled instantly, I could retrieve a vehicle that would allow us to cover the distance much more quickly."

Permalink

"Gates sometimes settle instantly but it could be any amount of time between that and a week."

Permalink

"If it doesn't settle instantly, can you undo it?"

Permalink

"No, once I start it it'll settle and then I have to be there to close it."

Permalink

"Let's not waste any time, then."

She picks up her bag of fruit and heads out of Yellow's house.

"Hey - wait -" says Yellow.

- Promise stops in her tracks.

Permalink

"You want to rescind that order."

"I can induce him to forget us or to give you his name, or I could kill him. Do you have a preference which?"

Permalink

"I rescind that order!" says Yellow.

"You can't kill him. Can you make him forget just my name -" murmurs Promise.

Permalink

"I could make a very good attempt." Darkness swirls around her fist as she raises it at Yellow, snaking out to wrap around his head. "You do not know her name."

Permalink

Yellow wibbles.

Permalink

"Done."

Permalink

"Thank you."

She lifts off. "This way."

Occlus wraps the Force around herself, and prepares to follow.

The terrain is not optimized for a hike. Promise goes half-speed, but she's flying, and there are hills and ground cover and the like.

Permalink

Occlus keeps pace regardless of the shape of the terrain. Short stretches of brambles she simply takes a flying leap over. For larger ones, she sends her lightsaber scything through ahead of her to clear a path.

Permalink

Well that's kind of intimidating.

Good thing this Sith is on her side.

After six hours, Occlus calls a halt.

Permalink

Promise perches in a nonsabered tree.

Permalink

"I must meditate to recover my strength. It would be helpful if you could keep watch."

Permalink

"For how long?"

Permalink

"Somewhat less than an hour."

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

Occlus lowers herself to the ground and sits cross-legged. She closes her eyes and begins breathing slowly and evenly.

Permalink

Promise rests her wings and watches. Nobody comes by.

Permalink

Somewhat less than an hour later, she stands back up.

"I am ready to continue."
