A Servant of The Circle

The lovely characters Teeanah Malvern and Chria Malcar belong to @swtorpadawan‘s Adas Legacy which I have managed to sneak my character Kelsa Kine into.

This amazing artwork of Kelsa and Teeanah was done by @theoasiswinds

More works in the Adas Legacy by myself and @swtorpadawan can be found at the bottom of my writing master list (here)

After choosing to stay on the paradise world of Ulgrotha, Kelsa Kine has been eager to prove herself to the world’s leader and her personal savior, Teeanah Malvern. In the hopes of joining Teeanah’s inner circle, Kelsa has undergone extensive physical and mental training to show her worth.

Over a year on Ulgrotha had brought about a dramatic change in Kelsa. When she first arrived, she had been a husk of a person. Two years of forced labor and having her midi-chlorian rich genetic material harvested by the Hutts had left her weak, scarred and afraid. Even after her wounds had healed, her mind and body remained fragile. But after months of tender care and physical training, she had gained a new confidence in herself and her abilities which she never had even when her family was still alive. More than that, she had found her drive and desire to not just survive but to live.

Ulgrotha was a paradise and its leader, Teeanah Malvern, was her savior. Everything she had and was, were all thanks to her. This second chance at life, a life away from the cruelties and suffering of the wider galaxy, was all because of Teeanah and Kelsa wanted- needed to show her gratitude.

So, Kelsa trained.

She trained and trained as hard as she could in the hopes that she might one day be good enough to protect and defend Teeanah and everything she had built. Many days a week were spent practicing lightsaber combat with Shiri’ah and Kira. Even more time was spent with Chria Malcar undergoing abbreviated Imperial Black Ops training. She built muscle and endurance, learned how to protect and not just kill. And from the broken husk came a sharpened blade.

Unfortunately, the blade was still flawed. She still had the occasional nightmare of her time as a slave. And if anyone touched the back of her neck, she would flinch away without fail.

But it seemed that Chria had a plan to work on that. At least that is what Kelsa thought as she awoke to find herself chained up in a forest.

Her arms ached from being pulled up over her head. She wondered briefly how long she had hung there to cause that amount of pain.

Not expecting it to really do her much good, Kelsa tugged on the chains but only caused the metal shackles to dig into her wrists. The main chain, which seemed to be connected to a branch somewhere above her, did nothing more than sway in response to her actions.

As the shackles dug into her skin, the scars on her back and neck twinged painfully as her mind recalled all the tortures that Smiley had put her through.

“Welcome back to the land of the living,” an all too familiar voice called out from behind her.

Quickly doing her best to bury her old memories, Kelsa focused in on Chria Malcar’s voice. This was undoubtedly another test and she would be damned if she was going to start failing now.

Chria silently stepped into view and began to circle her student. So far, Kelsa was doing quite well. She had wondered if the chains would trigger her old trauma and while it seemed that they had, Kelsa apparently had the mental fortitude to push past it. Good. But she would soon see if it was good enough.

“We are currently three weeks travel away from the estate. You must escape and make it back before the three week mark. Take longer than that and you fail.”

Kelsa nodded in understanding while trying to avoid digging the metal shackles further into her skin. Three weeks was a long trek, especially when she didn’t have a map or any idea of where she was in relation to Teeanah’s estate or equipment of any kind. But she would figure it out. She had to figure it out.

Chria hummed approvingly at the determined look on Kelsa’s face. She really was a fine student with a flexible mind that allowed her to find creative solutions to the scenarios Chria put her through. Teeanah always did attract good talent.

Beginning her walk back to her speeder, Chria paused behind Kelsa. “Oh, I almost forgot. A final detail.”

Kelsa rolled her eyes. She knew damn well that Chria hadn’t forgotten anything but was just waiting to throw her off balance. Her mouth opened to snidely comment on her blatant transparency when she felt the metal touch her neck.

She froze.

No.

No, no, no!

Not again!

Please not again!

As the collar’s teeth sunk into her skin, she felt as if all the color had vanished from the world.

She could still see and yet it felt as if she had gone blind.

To her horror, all of her senses still worked but had suddenly become dull and sluggish.

“No Force.”

Kelsa jerked in her chains at the voice. Her grey eyes which had glazed over in terror were now wide and darting about, trying to find who had spoken.

“You say that you want to stay on Ulgrotha, that you want to protect Teeanah. Prove that you can. Prove that you can escape from captivity to reach her. Prove that you can overcome your past for her.”

Chria grabbed Kelsa by the chin, forcing her to focus and look her in the eye. “There are two keys to that collar. I have one and Teeanah has the other. Find us. Find her. And we will see if you’re worthy of defending her.”

With that, Chria released her student and walked away.

Kelsa merely hung there in her chains. Her mind had fogged over with fear as memories of her slavery and of being used as a lab rat flooded her thoughts.

Trying to ground herself, a natural instinct by now, proved impossible. The metal digging into her neck and wrists were too familiar. The ache in her arms was too familiar. The sense of loneliness and isolation were too familiar.

Stars, where was she?

Hadn’t she been on Ulgrotha?

But the vibrant colors of the paradise she had come to know and love had vanished. Her world had dissolved into a dull and desolate landscape, just like the spice mine camps.

Focus! A small yet steady voice barked from the back of her mind.

Unable to fully ground herself, she simply tried to take in everything she could. Shadows of a cold, cruel and sadistic smile filled her vision and laughter filled her ears but amidst the laughter, she also heard something else. What was it?

Engines.

She could hear engines powering up and flying away. That was important. She didn’t quite know why but knew it was significant.

Three weeks and counting, the same steady voice noted.

Three weeks.

Find us. Find her.

Find her.

Tears were threatening to spill from her eyes as the scars that littered her body all seemed to burn with half remembered pain. But she fought them. The world was wrong. She could tell that the things she was seeing and feeling were wrong but she also knew that there was someone that could make it right, Teeanah. Teeanah could always make things right.

Find her.

Find her!

It had been almost three weeks since Chria had left her student in the wilds, suffering severe traumatic flashbacks. She was curious if Kelsa had managed to ground herself in that time or if she was still struggling with what was real and what was memory. Well, she would see soon enough.

Taking a seat just outside the estate grounds, Chria waited for Kelsa. The tracker she had placed in the force collar showed that she should make it back tonight, an impressive pace especially for someone struggling with reality. Many of her old Black Ops colleagues couldn’t have made the trek in Kelsa’s condition.

Movement caught her eye and she raised her macrobinoculars.

And there she was.

Kelsa apparently had the presence of mind to actually craft a makeshift pack which she used to carry the chains that were still connected to her wrists as well as some snares, small game and other crudely crafted supplies. Color Chria impressed. Even in the midst of reality distorting panic, Kelsa’s training still managed to shine through. She might have to share a drink with her student and commend her one day.

When Kelsa finally reached Chria, the former Black Ops soldier glanced at her chrono before humming in approval. “Two weeks and three days. Impressive.”

Kelsa seemed to hear the words yet did not react to them. Instead, she sank to her knees, head bowed, and raised her shackled wrists in a silent plea.

The corner of Chria’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. Well at least Kelsa seemed to understand her place in the pecking order. Good.

Of course, it wasn’t as if she couldn’t understand Kelsa’s appeal. Even now, she could appreciate her broad muscled shoulders and the way that the moonlight made her skin glisten with sweat. In her younger days she might have even enjoyed using her as a pleasant diversion on shore leave. But times had changed. Teeanah was what mattered now. And as long as Kelsa understood that it was Chria that knew Teeanah and how to protect her best, then they would continue to get along just fine.

Reaching out, she finally obliged her student’s plea and unlocked her shackles.

It looked as if Kelsa might cry in relief as her chaffed and bruised wrists were finally free. Her trembling hands gently rubbed at her wrists before slowly raising up to her neck. “Please…”

Chria noted that she couldn’t bring herself to actually touch the force collar. Hm, they might have to work on that at a later date. But for now, Kelsa had accomplished her task and Chria respected her for it. Few could overcome that amount of trauma and still successfully obey orders.

“You’ve done well, passed every test I’ve given you. Continue to follow my orders and you may very well have a future here.”

Those words seemed to actually reach Kelsa. Her grey eyes, though still slightly glazed over with traumatic memories, were wide and hopeful. She looked at Chria as if she was some kind of great savior. Perhaps in her mind she was, she had trained her and given her a multitude of new skills after all.

Key in hand, Chria finally released one of the locks on the force collar.

Hearing the click of the first lock, Kelsa let out a relieved sigh before bowing her head once more. “Thank you,” she murmured reverently.

Chria merely nodded before motioning to the estate. “Get yourself cleaned up. Clothes are waiting for you. When you’re ready, come find me and Teeanah.”

The world had become a grey blur for Kelsa. If asked, she would not be able to recall the details of her trek to the estate, only that she had somehow made it back.

In fact, the first thing she truly remembered was being on her knees and having her shackles removed.

It had been such a relief to have her wrists freed of the unforgiving metal. As the chains fell away it felt as if a haze had lifted from her eyes. The world was still dull and grey but it had cleared somewhat and let her think clearly for the first time in weeks.

Seeing the person responsible, Kelsa could do nothing but bow and thank Chria from the bottom of her heart.

“Get yourself cleaned up. Clothes are waiting for you. When you’re ready, come find me and Teeanah.”

Find us.

Find her.

Find her!

Kelsa followed her orders and returned to her room in the estate.

A part of her wanted to rush. To clean and dress herself as fast as possible in order to finally see Teeanah. But she couldn’t rush. She had to make sure that she was presentable enough to be in Teeanah’s presence. She had to show that she had worth and was worthy of staying on Ulgrotha and defending her savior.

So, despite the desperate urge to move quickly, Kelsa took her time. Every bit of dirt and sweat was removed from her body. Every small cut and scrape were cared for. She combed her hair and ensured that there was not so much as a stray bit of dust on the finely tailored black suit and deep crimson undershirt that had been left out for her.

When she was finally satisfied with her appearance, she left her room and went in search of Chria and Teeanah.

Without the Force and Teeanah’s beautiful force signature to guide her, it took a few tries, but she eventually found the correct room where the pair waited for her.

Chria nodded to Kelsa in acknowledgement while Teeanah just gave her a simple yet dazzling smile. And somehow, that smile sent Kelsa’s heart aflutter and mind ablaze with desire in spite of the collar actively clouding her mind and senses.

“Kneel,” Chria commanded from her position beside Teeanah.

Without any hesitation, Kelsa sank to her knees, head bowed down in submission.

It felt wrong, lowering her gaze, exposing herself to possible dangers. But this was Chria and Teeanah. They stood above her in all ways with the power to fill her life with agony or bliss. She had accepted this. It was a dynamic that made sense to her. All she could do now was wait and see what they intended.

A small pressure on the back of her neck made her tense but she maintained her position, hoping that she had proven herself.

With a small click, the teeth of the collar retracted from her neck and she gasped.

Color flooded back into the world, nearly blinding her with their vibrant beauty. Sounds pressed in on her ears as if she were hearing the world for the first time. She could smell the perfume that Teeanah wore and allowed herself a moment to just breath it in.

A gentle but firm finger guided her chin upward and when her grey eyes met Teeanah’s beautiful brown eyes, Kelsa thought she might cry. She could sense Teeanah again, glowing like a star through the force. It was like looking upon a god.

Unable to look away, Kelsa watched as Teeanah came forward a pressed a soft kiss upon her brow.

“You have done so well, Kelsa.”

Teeanah’s melodious voice seemed to envelope Kelsa in warmth and she never wanted to leave that comfort.

“Such devotion deserves to be rewarded.”

She sat back in her chair and Kelsa had the sudden urge to move forward to maintain their proximity for as long as possible. But she remained where she was. It was not her place to act so selfishly before her savior.

“So, my dear, what reward would you ask of me?”

Kelsa nearly recoiled at that. She would never. Could never ask for something from someone so obviously her better.

No. This was not about what Teeanah might grant her. This was about what Kelsa could offer of herself.

She bowed her head once more in reverence. “Please. Allow me to serve you. In any way you see fit. Allow me to defend you and everything you have built. Allow me to be a servant of The Circle and its Center.”

With her head bowed, she could not see the expression on Teeanah’s face but she could sense the spike in her emotions as she made her request. She could only hope that she would be granted the honor of serving her savior.

After several seconds, during which Kelsa believed Teeanah and Chria exchanged a few whispered words, Teeanah stood, beckoning for Kelsa to do likewise.

She obeyed and stood, drinking in the sight of Teeanah smiling at her with such affection. It warmed her heart like nothing ever had before and she realized that if she were to perish here and now, she would consider it all worth it to have seen that smile once again.

Without ever looking away and with her incredible smile still on her face, Teeanah motioned to the doorway. “I will require an escort to my chambers.”

A quick glance at Chria confirmed that she meant Kelsa.

Pride, relief and gratitude filled Kelsa and she could not keep from bowing her head once more before escorting Teeanah to her chambers.

To her surprise, Teeanah had her come in rather than stand guard by the door. She stood there in her chambers for several moments, taking in the layout and potential areas of danger all while Teeanah removed shoes and some small pieces of jewelry.

“Do you mind, my dear?” Teeanah’s voice broke Kelsa out of her mental preparations for defending the rooms from attack.

Returning her gaze and full attention to Teeanah, Kelsa suddenly felt her face heat up.

Teeanah had turned around with her back to her and was motioning to the zipper on the back of her evening gown

Desire coiled tightly in Kelsa’s gut but she beat down those feelings and nodded. “Of course.”

She stepped forward and carefully, as if handling something delicate of immense value, unzipped the dress.

Shrugging her shoulders, Teeanah let the dress fall and pool at her feet, exposing her strong back and perfect skin.

Kelsa’s mouth had gone dry. She had never before seen anyone so beautiful both physically and through the force. It truly was like looking upon a god. A perfect being that she was simply lucky to have met.

Without thinking, her hand reached out and she gently brushed her fingers along Teeanah’s shoulders. “You’re so beautiful,” she murmured as if in a trance.

Teeanah hummed lightly and leaned back into the touch, giving Kelsa permission to explore further.

Mustering her courage, Kelsa continued to gently trace her way from Teeanah’s shoulders down the center of her back, delighting in the faint shiver it caused.

Stars, how had an orphaned Sith like her been so lucky as to cross paths with a woman like this? She had no idea but she thanked the universe for it all the same.

Her slight pause allowed Teeanah the chance to slowly turn around and face her, still with that dazzlingly warm smile on her face. She reached out and gently cupped the side of Kelsa’s face, rubbing her thumb across her cheek.

“My beautiful Knight. I can feel you holding back.”

Kelsa tried to open her mouth in protest but Teeanah placed a finger over her lips.

“Shhh… I know how devoted you are to me, Kelsa. And I know that you sometimes believe you must deny yourself in a misguided belief that you do not deserve to enjoy life. But you do. You deserve to live happily and to enjoy the time you have.”

Tears formed in Kelsa’s eyes and her throat suddenly felt tight. It had been so long since someone had cared about her.

Wiping away a tear that slipped from Kelsa’s eye, Teeanah continued on. “I am thankful that you have chosen to remain here and that you have chosen to help me. Know that I will call on you for assistance but not tonight. Tonight, is about you, Kelsa. Tonight, I want you to feel alive. So, please, do as your heart desires my Knight.”

She stood there for a moment, just gazing into Teeanah’s eyes. Do what she desired? Everything she could possibly want she already had. Food, a roof over her head and even friends had all been granted to her thanks to being on Ulgrotha.

Her eyes drifted down to Teeanah’s lips, a lovely shade of red that contrasted beautifully with her pale skin.

What she desired.

Returning her gaze to Teeanha’s eyes, Kelsa searched her face for any reservations or hint that this was not something she also wanted. She found nothing but warm reassurance.

What she desired.

She leaned in and pressed her lips to Teeanah’s.

The two women were sitting in the shade of the gazebo on Teeanah’s estate. Surrounding them was the most impressive garden that Kelsa had seen, with an incredibly diverse array of flowers and plants that were nevertheless arranged immaculately and was a lovely as everything else about her host was. Kelsa couldn’t hope to have identified a quarter of the species represented, but even she could tell that most came from different worlds. From the gazebo, the two women could look out onto the beautiful blue lake that dominated the estate’s ‘backyard’, with golden hills on the horizon. The weather was remarkably temperate; neither too warm nor too cool with a light breeze was in the air.

It’s a paradise. Kelsa Kine thought to herself.

I am so excited for more Kelsa teasing 😍

Kelsa’s eyes fluttered as she felt her cheeks start to burn with a heated blush. But she couldn’t bring herself to pull away. Staring into Teeanah’s eyes, she felt like a bantha caught in headlights, unable to do anything but lean into the touch, swallowing nervously.

I’d do anything for her. Kelsa thought to herself, much to her own embarrassment. Anything at all.

She desperately tried to bury those feelings.

Teeanah’s lips turned upward again.

“I’m so sorry, my dear.” She gently patted Kelsa’s cheek before mercifully withdrawing her hand. “That was cruel of me. You are far too much fun to tease.”

Tagging! @cuchulainnx19 @sullustangin @pineaberry @empire-at-war @raven-of-domain-kwaad @patiusarchivist @actualanxiousswampwitch

🕷 SPIDER - what is / are their biggest fear(s)?

🪨 ROCK - do they make friends easily? (if not) why?

🔥 FIRE - what angers them easily? how do they handle their anger?

Fallout emoji asks for Tufiiy?

FALLOUT OC EMOJI ASKS! Thanks for the asks, @the-raven-of-highever and @raven-of-domain-kwaad !

🕷 SPIDER - what is / are their biggest fear(s)? She experienced most of her greatest fears, but let's see… I think the reason why she works so well with Teeanah Malvern and The Circle is because Teeanah just asks her to do what she can to make their little piece of Earth fertile and ripe. She only asks her to do the best she can. As such, their colony is excellent for gardening, and for more common crops as well. And she asks. Teeanah always asks. And she always tells Tufiiy how valued she is, and that everything the colony accomplishes is only possible because of her. She makes sure she is comfortable and happy. Teeanah never forces Tufiiy to do anything. And that's all Tufiiy wanted. (Because all she fears is being forced to work the land again.) But, of course, Teeanah would never do that!

🪨 ROCK - do they make friends easily? (if not) why? She's very introverted. Having to interact with other Sith (and even Imperials) makes things even more difficult. In private, she takes to Ashara and Talos pretty well. Teeanah respects her boundaries, so things don't get out of hand. But she definitely views her as a friend, and the rest of the Circle is growing on her.

🔥 FIRE - what angers them easily? how do they handle their anger? Not… a lot angers Tufiiy, but she can get there. One day, after they joined The Circle, she had an arguement with Ashara. Nothing catastraphic - it involved Jedi and Sith philosophy. There were thunderstorms for three days straight, in an area that's usually temperate and arid. (Teeanah just sighed, then went and talked to Ashara.)

Thanks for the ask!

Tell us about Tali

Send me the name of one of my Muses you want to learn more about, and I’ll ramble about them.

Thank you for the ask!

Tali is my main OC agent in the Sarnova, Rhi'khi and Adas Legacies, with some divergences for each.

So - first thing - Laht'al'ikran - aka Tali - aka Cipher Nine - is serving the Empire as part of the Chiss Ascendancy's support. She was talented enough to make a good operative while at the same time being young enough to adjust to life in the Sith Empire.

Her first loyalty is to her people. She was particularly close to her adopted sister, Huziq. (More on her another time.)

Second - although she keeps her mouth shut, she notes every act of bigotry by Imperials towards non-humans. She has no illusions about what kind of place the Empire is.

Third - she has a partner - Cipher Ten. Brehn Urmond.

The two of them are paired together on Hutta, then progress together throughout the conflict with the Eagle's network and ultimately confronting Darth Jadus.

Along that path, they learn grudging respect for each other, and later legitimate friendship.

They feigned a relationship together to justify their 'defection' to Ardun Kothe. (Imperial Intelligence would not approve of them being in a relationship.) Honestly, they didn't have to feign too hard.

When the Castellan Restraints come into play, it pushes them closer together. Ultimately they find solace in each other's arms.

Unfortunately, Hunter is more than willing to use their relationship against them.

The abuses the two agents suffer at Hunter's hands for his/her own amusement were horrific.

In the Sarnova and Rhi'khi legacies, Tali's story follows the class story resonably closely. (More on that another time.)

But in the Adas Legacy...

Someone learns about Tali's conditioning. Someone offers her - and Brehn - a way out.

After everything she's been through, she isn't exactly eager to trust a Jedi, or even an ex-Jedi.

But Teeanah Malvern has a way with people.

Deep down, Tali knows she's traded one leash for another. Taeree's powers of persuasion are subtle and insidious. She can make people want to serve her.

But - unlike everyone else - she promises Tali a world where she and Brehn can be together.

(Plus she gets revenge on Hunter.)

Thanks for the ask!

Alright, I'm super invested now and Kelsa wants more information too. You've talked a bit about how Tali, Chria, Vusah and Husalla got involved with The Circle but what can you share about how the other Guardians of the Adas Legacy got involved with Teeanah? Without giving away any spoilers you aren't ready to share yet of course

Thank you for asking, @the-raven-of-highever / @raven-of-domain-kwaad !

First - full disclosure - two of the members of The Circle of Guardians - The Adas Legacy OCs - are being completely re-written.

Thus is the fate of original characters who don't talk to me. 😈 So I can't talk much about them, right now.

Second - I can't quite tell you everything. To be honest, a lot of it is still in outline form, but I believe you were one of those who've read my works: Promises and Perspectives These are less fanfic and more case studies for why various characters choose to follow Corellan Halcyon, who I made into the archetypal noble hero. In the case of each character, Corellan is - intentionally or otherwise - providing that character with something in their lives that they want or need.

In a sense, it is the same with Teeanah Malvern. (Except she is definitely nobility, but perhaps not so very noble, when all is said and done.)

Each of her Guardians receives something from her that they were unable to gain in their regular lives.

I will… try to share three of those with you, though one of them I cheated on.

Shiri'ah is like most Heroes of Tython - she has seen a LOT of fighting and hardship in a relatively young life.

She's done it all without complaint. (Aside from yelling at Doc to stop hitting on her.)

But… she's burned out. She hasn't completely recovered from the Emperor's Fortress. She needs a long rest. Possibly in a place where she and Kira can explore their feelings for each other without incurring the displeasure of the Jedi Council.

So in the aftermath of the Dromund Kaas operation, when she is approached by a Jedi Master who is officially "on leave" from the Order, she listens:

"Join me, and I'll give you a world where you can be a hero just by being yourself."

Being slightly more observant than the Jedi Council, Teeanah makes sure to tell her that Kira is invited to see it as well.

That resonates.

All Wavanih Mabray ever wanted to be was a scholar.

A librarian. An archivist. The Jocasta Nu of her age.

Books were her passion.

She never wanted to fight Sith, or be a diplomat. She certainly didn't want to become the "Warden of the Order", and have to have to sacrifice her own life force to shield others.

Teeanah approaches Wavanih, prepared to offer her knowledge. And a place where she can sit quietly with her books.

… only to discover that, while she still wants to focus on her studies, books were no longer the sole passion in Wavanih's life.

Nadia Grell grew up a lot after the death of her father. It was a difficult time for her of course, but with Wavanih's support, she made great strides.

The experience left her harboring a deep affection for Wavanih that - much to the Zabrak's surprise - she reciprocated.

"Join me, and I'll give you a world where you can read books all day… and you can spend your evenings with your former Padawan."

(I mean, honestly, if the Council was cooler about lesbians, it would undercut Teeanah's entire sales pitch.)

Sulyn Padok was the last of the eight Guardians to join the Circle.

Teeanah had her eye on the Cathar for a long time. She knew that no matter how well her plans went, she would need a small army to protect her new world.

That army would need to be recruited, trained and led by someone. A real soldier.

When you are Teeanah Malvern, however, you don't just want a soldier; you want the best soldier your galaxy has to offer.

That meant Sulyn Padok, the commander of Havoc Squad.

Try as she might, Teeanah couldn't quite find the leverage she needed to persuade Sulyn. Even the Major's disgust at General Garza and many others couldn't shake her resolve.

But by then, Teeanah had been subtly manipulating people for so long, it became second nature to her. And by then, there was no one in her Circle who would have thought to have told her no.

So Sulyn was lured into a trap, and captured. Her strength of will was a sight to behold - she resisted Teeanah and her followers for more than a week.

But inevitably, she broke, and joined the Circle.

For Teeanah, once you cross a line like that once, it becomes easier to do it again.

Maybe I'll write it someday. I don't know. I'm making a lot of this up as I go along.

But thanks again for the asks. 😁

Ok so it is hilarious to me that if the Council just let lesbians be lesbians then Teeanah’s Circle would be short a few Guardians 😂 Also yikes with Sulyn. But it’s all for the greater good right Teeanah? Right.
