Hope you're ready for this part! Enjoy!
The four of them looked at me in shock.
"He wouldn't really make you fight on THAT planet, would he?" Ezra asked.
"He would... He's that cruel. He's going to try to throw me off my game while we're there." I said.
I then remembered what Bendu and Mother told me.
"But I'm not going to let him. All my life, I've been fighting in his element; now, it's time for him to fight in mine." I said.
Kayla, Kanan, and Ezra smiled whereas Nerezza looked uncertain.
"What's wrong, Nerezza?" Kayla asked.
"I must be going. If Crowvern knew I was here without giving me the order to come here, he would..." Nerezza began.
"Kill you..." I said.
She looked up at me with her white eyes.
"Yeah... that..." she said regrettably.
"It's not a good feeling, I know. Having to wake up every day thinking that your life might end that day. But I don't think about that. I'm grateful to wake up every morning with a smile. Just hang on to every hour at a time." I said smiling.
Nerezza cast her gaze to the ground and let out a sigh.
"Thank you," she said.
"For what?" I asked.
"For placing your trust in me, even after I tried to assassinate you, twice. I wouldn't even trust me after everything I did."
I shook my head with a soft smile.
"They say trust is something you have to earn, and you've earned mine." I said.
"And mine." Ezra said.
"Mine as well." Kanan said.
"And mine." Kayla said.
Nerezza looked at us and smiled softly.
"I really must be going. I guess I'll contact you if something happens." Nerezza said.
She then walked out of the command center without another word.
"Think we'll hear from her again?" Ezra asked.
"Definitely." I said.
Then, I felt a presence behind me, and I knew exactly who it was.
"I got to go guys." I said, walking in the opposite direction.
"Where?" Kayla asked.
I continued on my way, not turning around to acknowledge Kayla's question.
Why now of all times...?
When I was a safe distance away, I let out a heavy sigh and stopped in my tracks.
"I'd rather not do this now." I said.
"Why? Are you afraid?" he asked.
I turned around and saw my former Master.
"So, Ilona failed to kill you yet again. Typical..." he said.
"Why send her when you can just get the sweet satisfaction and mileage from killing me yourself?" I asked.
Crowvern paced around his cabin in thought.
"I guess that makes sense," Crowvern said.
"And I know you don't really care about what happens to Nerezza." I said.
