Reflections

Moments, frozen in crystal.

Stepping off the shuttle, the sounds and smells of a new world... Cularin.

Seeing Almas for the first time. Stones of old, casting shadows far deeper than they should be.

Watching deadly light tear apart a lovely woman.

Meeting her twin... and falling in love.

The clash of weapons over ruins at the decadent heart of a city-world.

Loss in an arena to the cacophony of insectile wings. So many lights, extinguished forever.

The counsel of an old man, once a friend, now an dire enemy.

Marr-ek. Bitter betrayal.

Aayla. A tragic choice.

Trillinae. Gone forever.

All falls to darkness, and in that void, nothingness comes at last.

Oblivion.
