Bayan karne baitha tha wo

ek roz apni zindagi ko

Kuch kisse mohobaat k

Kuch usne smjhaya apni dillagi ko

Jb ankhein churayi usne

Chupane unki nami ko

Mai smjha tb jake ki

Wo bhi tarsta hai kisiko

Bhot si baatein tali usne

Aur tala phir apni hasi ko

Usne chupana chaha jo bhi

dikha bhi sirf mujhi ko

Kuch kisse sune kuch suna

Maine uski khamoshi ko

Wo sham baaton me guzri

Phir wo nikla apni gali ko

Gale lagaya bhi usne

Jaise kisi ajnabi ko

Mujhme bhi jaise wo

Khoj raha ho khudhi ko

Phir din guzre phir saal

Dikha to nahi kabhi wo

Haan barbaad zarur kargaya

Wo meri is bandagi ko

Zindagi jitni mili mujhe

Mai rota raha ushi ko

Par jo roya na ho ishq me

Wo kya hi smjha aashiqi ko

Bs ushi me jaise meri

Zindagi guzar chuki ho

Shyd Kalki hi baat hai waise

Shyd Yahi tha abhi wo

Ya shyd ek zamana hua

Shyd wo reh gaya kahi to

Sb guzar gaya intezar me

Ab shame bhi nahi rahi wo

Wo puchta gaya tha mujhse

Kya hai zindagi to

Maine kehdiya "tum"

Bs kurban hua mai wahi toh....

Legend of Lightning 114. Guest of a Voss

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43208574/chapters/120632203

Jasme hung back with Tala-Reh as Vajra played Glenball with the children.

Or at least, that was how it started out.

He had, initially, taken her advice and held back, but after some encouragement from the children, he showed off some of his agility. The older children and adults, who had hung back stoically at the start, joined in as well, eager to grab the ball from this nimble, slippery new target.

Jasme laughed with all the younger children, who stood by and egged on the chasers. So far as Jasme could tell, Vajra was still holding back. Way back. She’d seen how fast he could move in training. Well, not seen, more like realized. She could still somewhat follow his movements. That alone was said something.

Finally, after much prodding, Lian-Reh persuaded his mother to enter the field. Everyone else looked cowed and made space for her to try this solo. She gave Vajra a thin-lipped smile before charging at him. Jasme was in awe; despite not having much Force Sensitivity, if any at all, Tala-Reh did phenomenally well out there. Her lunges and leaps were more economical and controlled. She only expended her energy when she truly thought she had Vajra. When she did, she came quite close. After ten minutes, Jasme wondered if she was predicting Vajra’s movements. Like she’d been observing him this entire time with the express purpose of taking her turn.

It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues therein.

An Intriguing Assessment

Author’s Notes: The following comes a few weeks after the conclusion of the class stories.

To:          Jedi Master Corellan Halcyon

From:    Jedi Grandmaster Satele Shan, Jedi Council

CC:         Barsen’thor Ulannium Kaarz, Jedi Council

Re:         Jedi Policies Regarding the planet of Voss

Master Corellan,

The Council has reviewed your report regarding your second mission to Voss.

To begin with, your encounter with the Children of the Emperor is naturally of great concern to us. We are thus far unaware of any other sign to suggest that some part of the Emperor survived your confrontation with him on Dromund Kaas. We are hopeful that Master Ulannium’s pursuit of the remaining Children may bring clarity to this matter. In the meantime, please keep us appraised of any further observations you or your crew may have regarding the Emperor. As always, the Council appreciates your unique insights into this situation. I am convinced that you remain the galaxy’s best defense against his plans.

Second, I have read your detailed reports on both of your trips to Voss, as well as the report submitted to me by Master Ulannium.

Upon reflection and consultation with the Council, I must agree with your position – echoed by Ambassador Janik’s reports to the Republic – that the Order’s policies and attitudes regarding the Voss and their Mystics require reassessment.

To that end, I will address a number of specific issues you have raised in your report:

1)      The Council accepts the preliminary findings that a previously unrecorded conflict between the Jedi and the Sith took place on Voss millennia ago, and that the result of this conflict led, in part, to the current divide between the Voss and Gormak. This is an important lesson for the Order that although we may have a duty to oppose the actions of the Sith, we must never forget that we have a greater responsibility to protect the innocent.

2)      Jedi archeological teams will, with the consent of the Voss, explore and document the ancient ruins of the ancient Jedi, to learn what led to their mistakes so that we might learn from them. We will also attempt to learn more about the rise of this Sel-Makor entity you encountered. You have my assurance that these teams will have sufficient escort to defend themselves from the Gormak, as well as provocations from the Empire. Any future expeditions will be particularly wary of the so-called Nightmare Lands and will carefully observe the ritual you describe to ward against the effects of such a corrupted place.

3)      The Council acknowledges that further study of the Gormak is critical to the long-term goal of allowing peace to come to Voss. Determining if the Gormak’s aggressive nature is the result of exposure to the Dark Side or of their social situation with the Voss people will be made a priority. In the meantime, we will attempt to avoid direct conflict with the Gormak if possible. Further, if the Voss allow, Jedi healers will examine this Gormak King known Jokull. Given his reputation, and his association with this Sel-Makor entity you opposed, the Council must commend you for defeating him without ending his life. It is possible he may help heal the wounds of that world.

4)      In light of your concerns and our own observations, the ‘failed Mystics’ who came to the Jedi Order for training as Padawans have been reassigned from Master Delsa to Master Halykus, who we feel will provide a better environment for their education. Master Delsa is a highly dedicated Jedi who has provided many years of invaluable service to the Order and to the Republic, but it is clear to us that his talents are best used elsewhere.

5)      The Council accepts your explanation that returning the Mirr artifact to the Voss Mystics was the appropriate choice. Jedi Knight Sallus Wen’s position that the artifact should have been destroyed is understandable considering its dark-side nature, but deliberately deceiving an ally acting in good faith was not the appropriate response. Knight Wen has been reassigned from his position on Voss.

6)      In light of your report regarding Padawan Kosh, he has been commended for his actions and will soon begin the trials for Knighthood here on Tython once we are satisfied that he has recovered from his ordeal on Voss. We thank both of you and your team for the recovery of these ancient Jedi artifacts which are even now being studied by our scholars in the Archives here on Tython. The death of Master Bacara is, of course, a great loss to the Order. We accept your recommendation that Kosh not be deployed on missions back to Voss again until he has fully processed the loss of his master.

On a personal note, I was touched by your accounting of Tala-Reh’s sacrifice to destroy Sel-Makor and to protect her people. The dedication of the Voss is impressive, indeed.

I commend you for your deft handling of matters on Voss, and for your report. Your commitment to the truth and for upholding the principles of the Jedi Order are commendable. I promise you that going forward, the Council will proceed with knowledge, not ignorance, with respect to that world. The Jedi code requires no less of us.  

Finally, the Council grants your request for you and your crew to travel to Alderaan to observe diplomatic matters developing on Alderaan, given your amicable interactions with Duke Horis Thul during your previous stay there. But on that note, I would be remiss not to acknowledge that your recent operations these last several months – including your brief stay with us on Tython – have proceeded at a pace that would tax any Jedi far beyond what we would normally allow.

Please take some time to rest and recover, Corellan. You’ve more than earned it.

May the Force be with you.

-          Master Satele    

Author’s Notes: When Satele told Corellan to relax on Alderaan, she probably didn’t mean that he and Kira should go learn to ski. Or that they should – you know – get engaged or something. *shrugs*

For that story, check this out.

I like the character of Satele Shan. I like to think that when people actually tell her “Hey – half the Jedi on this planet are acting like idiots” that she would actually get on that. I accept the fact that when you’re the leader of a massive organization of individuals, sometimes the proper information doesn’t trickle up to you. That’s life. The question is, do you correct the problem when it is shown to you? I like to think she would.

Poor Satele asked Corellan for a detailed report of his time on Voss. Corellan is dedicated and has an eidetic memory, so I think she had some late-night reading ahead of her.

You encounter most of the characters I mentioned as NPCs on Voss, albeit several only appear in the Bonus Missions. Delsa, in particular, is an ass-hat who bitches about having to teach Voss to be Jedi. Fuck him. (Tagging @swtor-writers-guild​ )

[plotbunny-bundle]

Tala-reh is is somehow really attractive. She’s so colorful and like a foot taller then Mordra. and she’s a badass widow with a poetic side. 

If she randomly kisses Mordra at the end without me ever using one flirt option I will not mind. Maybe I should make Mordra flirt?

[glitchy-npc]

Tala-Reh deserved better

[tishinada]

100 Days of Writing – Day 26

Of course, there is also propaganda outside the Republic and the Empire. We really don't get much sense of the propaganda in Hutt space, which is too bad, honestly. When playing the Republic, we do encounter two or three Hutts who insist that their reputation for corruption and anything being for sale is exaggerated.

On Voss, we get hints about their own version of propaganda which mostly reinforces their cultural system of submersing personal desires for the sake of the family and society. But there also seems to be propaganda by both the Voss and the Gormaks that continues the conflict between them. Of course, we also find out that they were once one people and this division and continuing conflict is actually supposed to keep them alive as a people, based on someone's vision.We get almost nothing about the Gormac’s propaganda, sadly.

It seems that Voss propaganda is mostly distributed by way of epic poetry celebrating self-sacrifice and obedience to the visions of the mystics and the decrees of the Three. For instance, Tala-Reh in the Jedi Knight story tells you that the epic poems about her husband's sacrifice helped drive volunteers to the commandos. This is a form of cultural propaganda that is also probably somewhat more transparent than most, but again, most Voss appear very contented with the status quo.

Of course, there's the problem of the Voss propaganda about the Gormak that leads to both governments accepting them as sub-human. We do get glimpses otherwise. In the smuggler storyline, not normally a beacon of insight, we encounter Gormak Zac (I think?) who has “gone native.” But you get a glimpse of them as a people he respects and identifies with and is willing to risk himself for, even if they are only represented through his words, not theirs.

On the Imperial side, the Sith Inquisitor helps, or can help, one of their shaman escape the Voss's control of the planet and go looking for a new home for them. By the way, the Voss were preventing the Gormak from leaving because a mystic's vision said if they left, something bad would happen to the Voss. It's strongly implied that the Gormak wanted to escape the conflict and the Voss were forcing it to continue.

Another planet that isn't strictly part of either the Empire or Republic is Tattooine. And there we have both the Sand People and the Jawas described in dehumanizing terms like the Flesh Raiders. (I am, btw, SO thrilled that The Mandalorian treated the Sand People with far more respect.) The Sand People, like the Flesh Raiders, are defending their land and the extremely limited resources (especially access to water) from colonizers. But they're invariably described as violent and primitive like the Flesh Raiders. We're never given a reason in-game to question that very flat stereotype of the violent primitive tribesman who can't be reasoned with. (Also, we're never given any context for how the conflict started, but clearly we’re expected to assume it was the Sand People and not the colonists.) We do get some glimpses of the Jawas as real people, but they are always comic relief and thieves. That's also propaganda (and another stereotype - casting them as primitive and childlike and “clever”.) They're never developed as a culture or people beyond that.

Tomorrow, the fourth powerful faction---Zakuul---and propaganda.

Diazuk Legacy Diary: Day 159: Roise Diazuk 

To stop the Emperor's second doom-days plan Roise Diazuk heads down to Voss despite Satele shan warning about the Voss people themselves. Roise Diazuk track down all of Fulminiss' communication towners until they lean her into a cave. She find no sign of Fulminiss but she did find a Voss lady who told her to leave. She looking for a Mystic named Valen-Da who left with Fulminiss and so Roise looking for him so. After killing some mentally damage Sith The Voss Lady named Tala-Reh and Roise agree to work together and head for the Shrine of Healing. 

[visionmarred-archive]

some Act 3 things for Iaze as I clean out my screenshots folder:

her theme of “redemption for anybody who wants it” continued w that guard on Belsavis. stuck up for him right away and got him reinstated.

became p good friends with Tala-Reh, liked listening to her poetry and thought she was cool. very distraught when she sacrificed herself to save Voss; Iaze absolutely tried to volunteer herself for the job.

absolutely does Not(tm) get Voss’s devotion to the Mystics, but thinks that their culture is interesting. annoyed at how blase they seemed to be in the face of their own dying. “why don’t you try stopping it? why do you just accept it?”

endless snarking at Warren Sedoru, Sc0urge, and the Emperor when they’re all “aren’t you tired of being nice? don’t you just wanna snort the Dark Side?”

Kira mind-tricked D0c into reflecting on his past relationships loooooooool. Iaze laughed.

Iaze and Rusk are bros. doesn’t condone how many people have died under his command, but after hearing his story, she ~gets~ where the dedication comes from. has a “you’re better than you think you are” mentality to him.

her being named Supreme Commander of Jedi Forces? gives me uwus bc Iaze’s backstory is her having been a gangster on Hutta before getting discovered by Orgus, and she briefly quit the Jedi Order between Acts 2 and 3 bc she felt like she failed at the one thing in her life that brought her peace. it felt appropriate for her character arc. :’)

Bengel Morr, Lord Praven, and Unaw Aharo? all being Jedi and working with her on Corellia? citing her as the reason they’re there? I am happy. Iaze wants to happy cry. probably definitely did when she was alone. “no I’m not crying I’m just sweating through my eyes”

sent Tol Braga back home to Tython. more themes of redemption and choosing to be good. 

insisted everyone was coming back from Dromund Kaas alive. everyone came back from Dromund Kaas alive. got yelled at by Scourge for going to save Rusk when he was in danger, she yelled at Scourge right back.

what she ACTUALLY said to the Emperor when he was evil villain rambling?

“...you have fruit punch mouth”

[a-master-procrastinator]

Another quick summary of events during Chapter 3

[Doctor Gantrell: “But... you’re a Jedi! You can’t just leave me here to die!”]

[Airistan: “I can’t put your life above a trillions others. I’m sorry.”]

So, Airistan got to the Emperor’s fortress, and you all know what happened there. She didn’t like this (but who does?), so now this bastard has to pay. How convenient that Vitiate wants to consume the whole freaking galaxy, Airistan now has an excellent excuse for her desire of revenge or not to waste her time on saving bunches of randoms, killing enemies instead of taking them prisoners or getting sidetracked in any way. I mean, she didn’t care for Council’s opinion about such things before, but now it’s easier for her to say: “I have a galaxy to save. F*ck off”. 

[Airistan: “I don’t care how many people you lose - keep fighting!”]

[Tala-Reh: “We will battle until the end.”]

Surprisingly, the Voss gained Airistan’s respect. They don’t try to forcibly spread their beliefs any further than their own society, they are honest, they are willing to do whatever is necessary if Mystic’s visions say this. 

Um, Rusk? Eavesdropping your superiors isn’t gonna make them respect you more. (If anything, it was a companion dialogue with Scourge, so why Rusk approves? Guess it’s just a bug)

[Airistan: “If you could invent a disease that only infects the Sith, you’d be plenty famous”]

[Doc: “Then I wouldn’t need to develop the cure. Not bad”]

You know, at first Ris wasn’t impressed by Doc, but now she starts to appreciate some of his ideas and personality traits, and that’s a scary thought. Not that I hate Doc, quite opposite. But when Airistan appreciates someone (especially now, after being possed, which means that she is even darker), it’s not a good sign.

Legend of Lightning 119. Sidetracked

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43208574/chapters/121125391

Vajra and Tala-Reh parted with the Voss at the speeders.

“You disapprove?” Vajra asked Tala-Reh.

“Yes,” she said stiffly. “So many of our best and brightest are no more. The Gormak are vicious creatures who deserve no mercy. But, it’s not the Jedi way, is it? I will follow your lead, so long as you follow the path of Valen-Da’s vision.”

They were interrupted by the chime of Tala-Reh’s comm. The caller was a human.

The human introduce himself first. “Greetings, Master Jedi. I am Ambassador Jannik. I represent the Republic mission to Voss. I request your aid with a critical mission.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have the time.”

“I beg your pardon, sir. Mystic Valen-Da said that you must complete this mission first, as well as the cleansing ritual we’ll be talking about later.”

Vajra fought the urge to slap his own face repeatedly. “What’s the mission?”

10 OC Facts: Maia

I was tagged by @the-sith-in-the-sky-with-diamond! Thank you for the tag~

1) The scar on her chin is from an accident while she was in training: she misjudged a Force Leap, fell, and split her chin open on some rocks. She could've had the scar removed, but chose to keep it as a reminder to herself not to get too overconfident in her abilities. She unconsciously rubs her fingers over it sometimes when she’s feeling pensive.

2) Her sense of direction is completely nonexistent. If it weren't for the Force (and/or GPS tech), she'd never be able to find her way anywhere. She once got lost in the base on Odessen, an incident that those closest to her (Theron) will never, ever let her live down.

3) She loves the out-of-doors, and given the chance she’ll spend as much time outside as she can get away with, regardless of the weather. Though she doesn’t remember it, her fascination with nature started because she was born and spent the early years of her life on Coruscant; the first time she set foot on a garden world after only ever knowing the ecumenopolis was like a revelation, and the amount of time she spends in space means a bit of that feeling comes back every time she goes planetside. 

Unfortunately her terrible sense of direction means people can’t really let her wander off outside on her own, a lesson Lana had to learn the hard way in “Visions in the Dark.” Oh, Maia can try to blame Valkorion for that one, but everybody else knows better.

4) She feels terrible every time she ends up having to fight and kill wild animals, and tries to avoid disturbing the wildlife as much as she can. Sometimes it's unavoidable in the name of self-defense or protecting others from aggressive predators, but she still hates doing it.

5) The majority of the time she uses sonic showers because water conservation is a thing, but when she has the option to bathe with water she likes it cold. It's refreshing! (Theron is appalled.)

6) She doesn't consider herself a Gray Jedi, but that's pretty much what she is at this point. Even as a padawan she never really held to the traditional Jedi doctrine of "there is no emotion," instead seeking to find a balance: emotion but also peace, passion with serenity, harmony within chaos. These days she doesn't know what to call herself any more, she's just trying to maintain what inner balance she can while using the Alliance to help as many people as possible.

7) Tea is her beverage of choice. She and General Daeruun became instant friends partly on the basis of this mutual appreciation, and make sure to sit down and share a cuppa when they happen to be in the same place for long enough. She'll drink caf, but has to sweeten it heavily because otherwise it just tastes like disappointment.

8) Because she spent most of her childhood being trained as a Jedi and most of her adult life fighting one war or another, she has some unexpected glaring blind spots regarding things most people would consider part of “normal life.” Things like fashion and dating are completely unknown territory for her. This is most of why she completely failed to realize Doc was flirting with her, and she and Theron trying to figure out how to relationship was pretty much the blind leading the blind.

9) She keeps a couple of speeders for practical getting-around purposes, but her personal favorite is the customized Rark K-133T she salvaged from Ziost. It’s ugly and noisy and pretty much nobody understood why she kept it - Kira, Doc, and Theron in particular all assumed it was some masochistic urge to punish herself for what happened there - but the truth is she held onto it and kept it running as a form of tribute, a way to make sure that something from Ziost lives on in some fashion.

She’s had some arguments with Theron about it, Ziost being more than a little bit of a sore spot for him, but he came around eventually. Bad memories or not, the damn thing hauls.

10) Her akk puppies Tala and Tor’ika were a gift from Shae Vizla. Maia named the painted one after Tala-Reh, the commando she befriended on Voss, and the ember akk pup is named for Torian.

🩺, 🎁 and 🥦 ! ^_^

Thanks for the asks, @mercurypilgrim !

From OC Questions

Answering for Corellan Halcyon.

🩺 - Does your OC accept help easily? Are they willing to admit when they need help?

To the first question - yes. Corellan isn't prideful about most things, and is more than willing to accept specialized help when offered. A key example came on Voss when he effectively teamed with Tala-Reh.

To the second question - a lot of times, no. Corellan sometimes doesn't recognize when he needs help, even when its just to talk things out with someone. This wasn't a problem with the support system of his crew around him, but it became an issue in the Alliance. The biggest example came after he beat Valkorion, but didn't confide in the any of his friends that he was in pretty rough shape. This is something i plan on exploring further.

🎁 - What kind of gift-giver are they? Do they give thoughtful gifts? Expensive gifts? Practical gifts?

He's getting better! Jedi aren't huge gift-givers, but Corellan has a sentimental streak. He tries to give out gifts that the individual would appreciate. He gave Lana a bottle of expensive Kaasi Brandy - which was her favorite liquor - during a conversation after they won. She was surprised he even knew her preference. (In point of fact, Teeseven tipped him off.) Corellan has an excellent memory but relies on others to help him pick out gifts.

🥦 - Does your OC eat healthily or live off junk food?

He normally eats healthy. C2-N2 regulated everyone's diets on the ship. Occasionally his friends get him to indulge in something, but its usually a social thing.

Thanks again for the asks!

[plotbunny-bundle]

I realized something. I joked I gave Mordra my trash taste. We both fall for powerful women. I’ve been trying to make Mordra taste go for multiple genders. He’s supposed to be bi.

I’m basing his taste off of our crush on Tala-Reh. He’d fall for humanoid, romantic warriors. I did once joke that Mordra could fall for people that kick his ass.

But Mord’s not like that. Not now. But what he would fall for is someone who saves his ass. He could absolutely develop a crush from someone jumping in to save him, or having a hero moment.

It’s amusing to me that the Hero of Tython could fall for someone being a hero. But it makes some sense. Mordra has made himself into a protector. He’s the hero. He saves people, they don’t save him. He’s the last hope, the necessary sacrifice. For someone to save him, to want to protect him for him not the greater good. It would mean a lot.

So now I need to find a protective Npc or a friend OC so I could have this ship.

Expect Mordra is trying to be a Jedi and would try to deal with having a crush by trying to get rid of it. Still he would be cute before he noticed he was getting attached. Oh well. I can still daydream.

Last time on our Knightly Stream…

The J-Team set out to make good on their promise to save the galaxy from endless generational war by giving an ancient Dark Side Eldrith being a stern talking to. It went about as well as anyone in touch with reality would expect.

Tabbed quote "Hubris. Thy name is Jedi."

After a quick costume change, we witnessed one of the more subtle but heartbreaking cutscenes in the game.

With a little help from our Guardian Angel Jedi Ghost, our little cinnamon roll was finally awakened from being an evil puppet, and then proceeded to wow everyone with her acting ability.

“I am definitely a Sith. See these spikes instead of shoulderpads? They make me 500% fiercer and confirm I am evil. Oh so evil. Now, if you’ll be so kind, please direct me to the nearest exit.”

And made a daring escape with the help of a new ally

He, uh. Doesn't mess around. I'm sure they're... sleeping. Yeah.

One more costume change later, she and Scourge head in to to talk to the Jedi Council.

It's revealed that the events of just about everything is part of a giant convoluted plan for the Emperor (aka Vitiate) to devour everyone in the galaxy's life force. Sort of like an incorporeal evil space vacuum.

Pictured: Darth Hoover

Then it's off to Belsavis! Which as the plot slowly reveals, is possibly one of the Republic's worst ideas yet. And considering they hired an undercover Sith as their lead scientist, and proceeded to construct a weapon capable of frying a planet from orbit, is saying something. Also, there was one last costume change. And maaaaybe a change to a new set of weapons that are definitely not stained with the blood of innocents that's I'm totally sure the game wasn't subtly implying we may have been responsible for while under Vitiate's thrall.

(Look, she's going through an existential crisis. It tends to be hard on the warddrobe.)

On Belsavis we meet SecondBest!Cactus, also known as Pak. He's only Second Best because I already named Jomar the Best!Cactus and to go back on that now would just be confusing. And I couldn't come up with a better title for him. Pak's eyeliner is on point.

We encounter Vitiate's death cult, full of really well-adjusted individuals who are convinced that this suicidal plan of theirs to self-destruct Belsavis's core will get them into a Vitiate-sponsored afterlife. "The Force doesn't work that way!" we try to explain to no avail.

The Knight does seem to go head-to-head with death cults a lot, don't they? Maybe I should start a Death Cult counter.

For the rest of Belsavis, I proceed to make Scourge rethink all of his major life decisions and the wisdom of selling his soul to play a 300-year long con on the Emperor as he has to follow around a stubborn Jedi Knight who refuses to let one single kitten stuck in a tree go unsaved and blissfully ignores the literal ticking time bomb on the planet.

Don’t give me that look. You had three hundred years to change your mind about this. You knew what you were getting into.

Finally, after saving a bunch of scientists, disarming some lava bombs (as you do), and a whole host of other distractions, we finally face off with our lead death cultist

Some MORE bomb disarmament later, Belsavis and the surrounding planets are saved from cataclysmic destruction. And we get Pak his job back. Huzzah! But there's no time to rest, for this is the Knight's Chapter 3 storyline where the galaxy is on fire and we're trying to put it out without collapsing into a tiny Jedi ball composed of stress and anxiety. So it's off to a mysterious Imperial outpost to go save the Best!Cactus from some pickle he's gotten into.

We learn that Leeha and Jomar were having an affair. Kira doesn't seem very shocked. Little Miss Perfect has matured a little since her Tython days, and decides that maybe tattling on every single Jedi she catches having a romance is bad karma or something, and after breaking Leeha free from being a Thrall, sends the traumatized lovebirds on their way.

And then it's off to beautiful Voss, the land of eternal autumn. We meet a very tol pretty lady, Tala Reh, who is really into poetry. We have to team up with her to find a missing Mystic.

The first spot we look for the missing Mystic all we find are a bunch of Sith who are REALLY out of sorts. In that they're fairly convinced we’re really into vore and really won't listen to reason.

We head to the Shrine of Healing. Again, people are fairly violent and not really willing to believe we have no intention of consuming their entrails an oddly specific detail. Not that it stops our cinnamon roll from trying to talk everyone down from murder. (Look, she's TRYNG!)

After a minor but successful heist where we face off with a giant telepathic vorantikus (I mean, so cliched right?), we head into the Dark Heart of Voss, and face off with the eeeeeevil Lord Fulminiss. Who's a little confused at our presence, and very annoyed at the Mystic he kidnapped because how dare he leave a trail for rescuers to follow?

Those darn kidnapping victims. Always trying to escape or have someone come rescue them. So ungrateful!

The Mystic reveals that he had a vision about all of this, and he's just been doing what was necessary to help it come to pass. He says our newest and tallest bestie has to sacrifice herself to this really dark hole because. Um. Destiny. Neither of them listen to reason. I'm sensing a pattern here.

Today we head through the Voss planetary arc (for reasons), and if there's time after that maybe we'll head to Corellia.

Time to see what other mysteries Voss has for our intrepid hero. Going live now! – https://www.twitch.tv/greyias

#Quran #DailyHadithSMS #Hadith #Islam قَالَ فَاہۡبِطۡ مِنۡہَا فَمَا یَکُوۡنُ لَکَ اَنۡ تَتَکَبَّرَ فِیۡہَا فَاخۡرُجۡ اِنَّکَ مِنَ الصّٰغِرِیۡنَ. سورة الأعراف ١٣ [Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased. [Surah Al-A'raaf: 13] حق تعالٰی نے فرمایا تو آسمان سے اتر تجھ کو کوئی حق حاصل نہیں کہ تو آسمان میں رہ کر تکبر کرے سو نکل بیشک تو ذلیلوں میں سے ہے۔ سورة الأعراف 13 Surah Al-A'raaf: 13 Allah Tala ny fermaya tu aasman sy utar, tujhay koi haq hasil nahi k tu aasman main reh ker takabbur kary, so nikal, beshak tu zaleelon main sy hai. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcjQ8WGtkWn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
