You also know why we are here," Master Essenu said with at least a little venom in her voice. She paused a moment, and it was easy to feel her using the Force to calm herself, "Where is my brother?"The Twi'lek simply smiled, reaching behind him and withdrawing something. It rested in his hand, a small, orange and somewhat see-through pyramid shaped object. It was easily recognizable as a holocon, though you have never seen one that was not cube shaped. He held it up for you to view easily and smiled, "Your brother is not here, I have already said that. However, he did leave this for you...you wouldn't believe how much trouble it was to dig it up, and now I'm sorry to have to destroy it."Then, suddenly, Arach smashed the holocron with his other hand. There was a sudden, very strong, ripple that rocked through the Force before you watched a hundred gaseous faces rise up from the shattered holocron. Pieces of the destroyed artifact arced outwards in all directions, and for a moment you felt that you could actually see faces in them.((Ref saves to avoid getting hit by a a shard...Urcala 16. Aalun 21. Master Essenu 13. Only Aalun passes.))Aalun hears both of the Miraluka yelp in pain as shards of the holocron dig into their skin. Master Essenu had put up a hand to shield her face, and the shard had dug into her palm. Slowly, and with a disturbing hissing sound, you watched the small piece sink into her skin and disappear. The same happened to Urcala, and in a moment, the two Miraluka dropped to their knees, gritting their teeth. Through the Force, you could feel them fighting with a very tangible darkness.Aalun was rocked back to the moment by the sound of Arach Tuorr dropping from his pedastal to the ground and onto his feet, not five meters away. He smiled to the two Miraluka, then looked to Aalun, "Sadly, it was not meant to be, Gand. But think of it this way, I harber no ill will towards you...only the Order you serve. Let that be a comforting final thought that you die for them."((Initiative time. Master Essenu and Urcala are out of this one, for the moment at least. Aalun 14. Arach 21. He's up first.))In a blindingly fast motion, the Twi'lek whipped his lightsaber off of its place at his belt and thumbed the activation switch. With a familiar snap-hiss, a green blade bathed the large chamber and Tuorr's blue skin. He grinned, and you could feel him drawing the Force around him, almost literally sucking it out of the walls.((Aalun's up...))</blockquote>
