SWTOR: A Fate Beyond Stars

Reunion

A Fate Beyond Stars. Chap 1.
A girl with silver hair lies on a medical bed motionless with laboured breathing, even with a breathing mask, a heart monitor and more, she's hooked up to the many machines trying to keep her alive. Emphasis on trying.

Pus leaks from her eyes and mouth, her complexion is deathly pale and eyes are bloodshot red. It's clear as day she is in tonnes of pain. Yet she still manages to smile behind the breathing mask as she looks to her side.

Beside her is a boy with black hair and closed eyes, "Tenebris..." She softly calls to him. His response is opening his eyes wide and looking down to his side where she lay, with eyes showing the corruption of the dark side within them. The glow of the red eyes show his deep connection to the dark side.

She is barely able take the breathing mask off to make herself more comfortable, but she manages to do it with the help of Tenebris. "What are you doing today?" She asks weakly with curiosity and laboured breathing and pale complexion as she barely looks up at a boy much older than she is.

Regardless, he smiles, not in pleasure of her suffering, but her ability to endure the suffering and maintain a smile, it honestly fills his heart with Hope, "It's good to see you smile, little sister." He said with a soft and calming tone before smiling with her. "I know, you've been saying that everyday for seven years." She said weakly with her usual childish tone.

Tenebris takes her fragile hand and locks his fingers with her own, "Please tell me," she asks, "I know you're itching to say something." She asks weakly.

"I'm...I'm going to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant," Tenebris said as he looks down with sadness, "...There's someone...I think there's someone there who can make you well again." Tenebris said calmly yet with uncertainty as he clenches his fist in anger at the memories brought back, he kept his rage in check however, knowing full well that his current company doesn't need the negative emotions.
She loses her smile for a second before raising another, "Tenebris," she said and getting him to look down at her rather than the floor, "You know as well as I that my death is inevitable. Stop trying to find a way to cure me and be free." She pleads weakly.

"You know I cannot do that," he said monotonously, "I was 10 years old the day I pledged to take care of you until the end, or at least I find a way to restore your health, and I will never stop until I find a way. I know it's selfish but you're all I have left." Tenebris said with sadness filling his eyes and voice. "I can't let you go yet," he said as tears fill his eyes.

The simple thought of leaving her bringing him to tears. In response to his sadness, she places her soft palm on his cheek, "That's where you're wrong," she said with her brightest smile. Tenebris knows exactly who she is talking about.
"Hana, Lumen, is the last person I ever want to see." Tenebris said containing his anger, "He had his reasons," Hana said weakly. Tenebris, slowly gets up from his seat and slowly walks around the room as he contemplates, "I just...Why did he have to leave when we needed him most?" Tenebris asks hatefully and rhetorically. "When mom and dad died he up'd and left for the Jedi temple." He took a breath so he wouldn't over boil with anger.

"He had his reasons for leaving, you seem like you hate him, but you still miss him." Hana said weakly, Tenebris looks down at Hana with a soft and plain expression, "Go to the Jedi Temple, find him and, if you can, bring him back here. You're not the only one that wishes to see, Lumen, again." Hana said weakly with a soft smile, which he cannot resist to smile with her. "Alright," Tenebris said happily.

"I just wonder if he even cares enough to agree to come," Tenebris said sadly, his body becomes tense with worry that he won't be able to persuade, Lumen.
When, Hana, places her palm on his fist with effort he calms down and relieves the tension throughout his body, "Don't hate him...he'll come. I know he will..." She said calmly with a warm smile that could brighten even the darkest of lost souls before closing her eyes to rest.
