Dantooine Jedi Temple Ruins
Brem was on the comm... YAY! I need to talk to him. I called him out to treasure hunt with me. The pirates that protected the treasure were weak and didn't really care about it. Well, no wonder... it was a pile of junk!
I had another goal in mind. I was being called so strongly to Dantooine. Back to the Jedi Temple Ruins. Why? Oh yeah... Brem. No. It wasn't because of Brem. I was... needed. I told Brem I was going. He was much hesitant. A dark Force wielder managed to sink his insideous claws into Brem there. I told him I would be by his side and then he can lean on me and draw on my spiritual strength. I also said I would without him if need be... that I was needed there. I think he was really concerned for my safety as he would not let me go there alone. The dark Force wielder has no power over me. I wasn't sure what could be so dangerous beyond that.
We got there and I faced off the Dark Force wielder. My spirit is already bound to something greater and more fulfilling... he had no power over me. Brem was almost frozen in his boots. I took his hand and led him to the water falls. I was called. The woman down there that I discovered before did not need my help and could not trust me before. I understand why now. I was not able to trust myself then either. Now... I trust myself and have conviction on my path. Now her call through the Force was strong. I sensed her need was great... and noble.
Down there I learned her name was Drakka, a Jedi apprentice in hiding. She has stayed to help the Dantari people fight the Imperials. Brem tried to speak with her. She would not deal with him. She noted the darkness that had touched him so deeply. She asked him to leave and for me to stay a moment longer. She took my arm... and with concern in her eyes spoke to me:
"He has fallen to the Dark Side. It eats at him. Yet... there is a strong light there... and it seems to shine more brightly with you around. I have seen him before.... He is different with you. The darkness has touched him all his life... but your Light has touched him more deeply. I can sense such caring in him... a gentleness in the depths of his soul. With him you are more confident and with you he is more courageous to stand against the darkness within him. I cannot help him. He is beyond my skills. But with your help... he may find the guidance he needs. Help him to shine... and one day he will glow as steadily as you almost do. You are strong with the Force Firecat... and so is he, deep down... so is he."
How do I tell all this to Brem? She also told me to trust his battle experience. That I will be called to face the Warren soon... and he would know how to face it... That I will face the Hutts in their Palace... and he will be by my side. We needed each other. I wanted to ask her other things... but felt them to be suddenly silly. And so I didn't.
What about Blimey? I thought to myself....
She then asked of me to deal with a squad of Inperials murdering the youths of Dantari people. Of course I would deal with this. We headed out... but Night came... and the Dark was too great for me to fight in. Brem and I set up camp. And we talked about Faction. He was neutral... he could not help me beyond advice. I dd not want to pressure him into choosing to be Rebel. I did not know he had already been seriously considering it. Knowing what I was about to face seemed to have decided him. He ran off the declare himself a memeber of the Rebel alliance and meet a recruiter. On returning, there was a platoon of Stormtroopers just outside my camp. He thought they were my target and attacked! GAK! They were easy to pick off with his new pistol. But... they were not the target. Now we had to wait for out TEF to dissipate and the Imperials to forget the distress call. I almost slapped Brem! OY! So we hunted some local critters to pass the time. When we felt ready, we went after the target. He took care of the troopers and I took out the leader. That went well. We returned to Drakka. She still would not speak to Brem. It upset him, I could see. But ... what could I say to him? She asked me to do another favor. I teen scout had been captured. Imperial commandos had him. Oy... oy.... I took a breath. I vowed that not teen would suffer as Brem and I had. So we traveled out. Commandos are much more dangerous. I used all my ranger and scouting skills and crawled through the grasses. I snuck in and quietly stole the teen from their clutches while Brem watched, ready to pick off the commandos. They never knew what happened! Hehe! We snuck in and out completely unseen. Whew!
After that I was beyond exhaustion. The buffs I had were not very good. The medic was inexperience and young. Oy. I had to hurry back to the Free-Spirit Temple before I collapsed. Brem stayed with me to keep the nightmares at bay... until I was completely asleep. He will be fine. he will find his way to freedom from the darkness that touched him. One small step at a time. I slept peacefully.
