Down in the Dark (Byron)

[Byron Mik]

Byron frowned at the dripping water and made his way back to the Master again...

[Faily]

Judging from the angle of the light filtering into the cave, some time had passed since he had entered the cave. And yet, Murah was there, waiting for him.

[Murah Bakash]

"How are you feeling, Byron?" she asked with her usual softness, though with some concern in her tone.

[Byron Mik]

“I feel like… I don’t know, not really wiser but definitely more understanding or more precisely more confused and yet more open to everything. But at least you’re not acting like a crazy person, so this must be the real world. I am not sure if what I saw was supposed to mean anything but I can say the Force has an odd sense of humor if we want to personify, which I don’t,” he said dryly.

[Murah Bakash]

"The Force can often be difficult to understand, but the Vergence here often plays on our insecurities and fears. Or sometimes just shows us possibilities," she offered kindly. "Take your time to reflect on what you saw today, young one."

[Byron Mik]

"I think it wants me to not be so... self deprecating," he mused.

[Murah Bakash]

"Perhaps," she said softly. "If you wish to speak of what you saw, I am of course willing to listen to you. But I understand that such visions might be more private."

[Byron Mik]

"Sure as long as you don't turn gray and get all mean. I saw a crowd cheering on Lunda, she did not recognize me and then everyone said I was a nobody. Then I left and saw you and you chastised me for not being in here for long and then said I should fail because the Force showed me nothing and then you turned gray and then here I am," he finished.

"Bloody weird."

[Murah Bakash]

She looked at herself and inspected her robes carefully. "I do not think I am about to fade away...? My hair might be a little grey though," Murah offered in good humor to brighten the young man's mood.

[Byron Mik]

"You still look wonderful Master, and even more so since you are not acting crazy. I think I am good, going to get some food and then get prepared to meet up with the Sith later and swap recipes and such," he said warmly.

"I prefer my dark side in a package I can at least understand."

[Murah Bakash]

"I think we all do," she chuckled warmly. "If you are ready to go back...?" Murah gestured away from the entrance to the vergence.

[Byron Mik]

"Yeah, I have had enough of this hole," he said as he followed.
