One step back to the Nature

[Arruna]

Those days passed away when she really believed in change, now only the fact remain that she got to continue her journey what she started years ago. Sometimes it was good to take a break, relax and left everything behind for awhile. That was what she most liked in the everyday life, just to be alone, near to the Nature where everything begun. Here she felt that those old memories vanished, still her happy days came back to her through the galaxy, because wherever she went they were with her. She herself hated to forgot her memories, even the bad one, she could learn from them. Of course, she didn't mean to remember them always, but with a calm head and good mood she got some real new ideas from her past. That way she felt she can learn new things all the time.

Boring it was that day when she passed the park, the wind was weak, even the sun was brightening, but she. The blue girl came here again to recall something, still didn't know exactly what. Somehow recently she felt something missing, missing from her life.

Entry 291
GSD since last incident: 10

It's been 9 days since I left the order. Again. They say they will protect me. They say they can break my curse. They are wrong, that is a task for me alone. I am not ready to return, but I will be...someday. I have departed Coruscant and have traveled to the outer rim in search of some peace. The bustle of the city stresses on one's nerves eventually, but it is calm out here amongst the grass and trees. The other part of me has calmed down as well, I no longer feel it gnawing to escape but I know it's there. I will spend a little more time here I think, just to be sure.

Falo closed his notebook and slipped it into the little rucksack on the rock next to him. The massive city planets like Coruscant were magnificent, sure, but there was another sort of beauty to be found outside modernized society. And while even Coruscant had it's break of the hectic skylanes and air pollution in the form of it's few parks scattered across the surface, nothing compared to the real thing. Here on Ylesia, that's what it was: real.

The young Bothan took in a deep breath of the crisp air. Air not purified by atmospheric generators to keep out all the smog and pollution, but real, living air of a planet not yet claimed by galactic monopoly. He could feel his very spirit quell: which was good considering the damage his agitated spirit could cause. He stood and gathered up what few belongings he carried on him at all times into the sack which he then placed on his back being sure to check his belt to make sure he hadn't lost his saber again. While it may have been a little risky to have the weapon so visible, it was worth it to be in easy reach in case of emergency. Hopefully such a situation wouldn't arise, but one thing for certain: it wouldn't be here. The park was nice, but he had a mission to accomplish if he could ever return to the life he craved.

His ship was docked at the park's own starport, the poor battered thing. Without thinking much about it, he withdrew his notebook and scribbled in a small note to work on fixing it up a little the next opportunity he got. After all, since last time it had been rammed, shot, scraped, and flipped over. It deserved a new coat of paint. Leaving the park, he noted the young Twi'lek who was his only other company in the park that he could see.

Falo sighed as he passed her by, "I suppose nobody else has the time away from their busy lives to appreciate such a place."

Her way was clear and peaceful during she was strolling through the road in the middle of park. Some bird, that couldn't find other place to be on that city planet, were at the small lake and playfully treated their chicks. Nalan with a splendid look at them felt so much comfort as she stood there. Only a stranger, from opposite direction, integrated her bliss moment. But his word pointed the importance of that moment and she agreed with him. The look of him was strange, he seemed like a artist of some sort. Than he was about to leave the place.

"Nobody, but we. Escape from a city is make me understand where we really belong. We build to many walls and barrier surround ourselves, and now look around... what do you see?"

Her look went on and found the buildings in the distance, for a moment she glanced them and returned. Her face was peaceful. Difficult was to find out that she got so much stress in her everyday life, but here everything was different. Without knowing who he was she addressed her words of thought to him, and did not feel at all that she made a mistake or to hurt him on some way. Only some people like them used to came here, similar souls.

"Without voices of the city... hmm... I can't think of a better place. Are you escaped from something as well?"

[A®heim]

He paused for a moment, realizing he had not actually expected the Twi'lek to answer him. It had been a passing notion, spoken softly to the world in general. Most would just ignore such a thing or reply with a nervous smile that spoke almost louder than actual words; I don't really care who you are, weirdo. But this girl...her response was wasn't a mere pleasantry. He stared for a moment more out of those two different colored eyes then nodded and did precisely what she said.

He looked about the park one last time. He saw those birds, oblivious to the goings-on of the galaxy, tending to their young--no hurry, no dark political objective, just living life. He gazed at the trees swaying gently in the cool breeze and at the waters of the pond lapping against the silted banks. The air was crisp, the sounds all natural. For a moment he lost himself, both of himselfs; he stood amongst nature as that curious young Bothan before that fateful day. Back when the dark in his room was a greater fear than the dark that had taken residence in his soul.

The world and its harsh reality came back to him. She spoke again, the last two words brought up a red flag in his mind: "as well." That implied she too was on the run. Why though? Was she being falsely prosecuted? Hunted by a darker for? ...or was she a criminal herself? With his worry came the familiar but unwelcome welling of power that tended to rear its uly head whenever thoughts of self-defense arose.

Falo took a deep breath and quelled it as he had learned to do many times over the years. This was no time to jump to conclusions. He may not know this Twi'lek well, but her aura was a peaceful one, he sensed no true hostility from her. There was only one thing to do, then: answer the question.

A small, but sad smile. "Yes....yes I suppose one could say that. Though I'm far from escaped. And yourself? What ails you that would bring you to such a retreat?"
