Nick follows Aine and Colin into the Palace and then finally sees Cait there. He walks over to her. "Cait, good to see you made it here safe and sound." He looks around. "This place is amazing."
He glances at Aine and Colin. "Danaan? I've never heard of that place before. I bet its a wonderful place."
He walks over to a wall and sees a mural of some sort on it. He begins to study it.

Cait doesn't say anything at first and hands Colin the Woolmander statue. He gives her a questioning look. “I just found that in there.” She says pointing to where she found it. “The Sith hid it because they couldn't get rid of it or destroy it. They tried to neutralize it by hiding it away." To Nick: “That it is Nick.”
Aine answers Nick. “Danaan is the Sidhe homeworld Nick. And amazing doesn't cover it. It’s that and more.”
Colin takes the statue from Cait and examines it. It begins to glow softly but not as strong as when Cait touches but it definitely reacts. "What the...that's odd I felt a tremor in the Force when I touched it." He says nearly dropping it from surprise then looks at it more closely.
“Interesting …it reacts to you too Colin but not Takeda or Tookie. I wonder…if it is because you are Sidhe too or my brother.”
When the artifact reacts to Colin it causes a definite reaction in the Woolmanders they chatter excitedly among themselves.

Nick glances at Aine as she describes Danaan. "Wow, sounds like a good place to visit. I'm going to have to go see it sometime."
When Cait and Colin mention a statue glowing, he turns from the wall mural and walks back over to them. Curious he looks at the statue in Colin's hands. "That is an amazing statue." He raises an eyebrow when he feels the tremor in the Force.
"Hey Colin, let me see the statue right quick. I wonder if it will react to me the same way since I'm half Sidhe."
He holds out his hand for Colin to hand him the statue.

"You should Nick I think you would like Danaan." Aine says.
Cait interrupts. "Wait Nick let Aine touch it first. If it reacts to being held by a Sidhe then it should react to her too if not and it reacts to you we will know it is because of our bloodline."
Aine shrugs and take the statute from Colin. It slightly warms to her touch but no glow is seen. She hands it back to Colin and it glows softly again. "It is definitely reacting to me and Colin. But not to another Sidhe. Interesting." Cait says
He then hands the statue to Nick. "Your turn Nick."
They wait to see what happens.

Nick watches quietly and nods his head as Aine takes the statue. He looks at it in wonder as it doesn't glow at all to her touch. "That's odd indeed." He then takes the statue from Colin and can feel it grow warm from his touch.
Suddenly, the glow on the statue intensifies to the point where he has to turn his head from the glare. "What the hell just happened?" He asks, shocked from the sudden reaction to the statue in his hands.
He quickly passes the statue back to Colin when he gets two unique feelings. One feeling of someone close to him approaching the vicinity and the other a feeling of immense power coming from somewhere deep within the Palace.
He then places a hand to his head and shakes his head slightly, feeling slightly dizzy. "You guys feel that?" He walks over to a wall and leans against it.

She makes her way through the entrance of the Palace, pausing slightly as she sees the Woolamanders. They make no attempt to stop her but hoot at her quietly. Cautiously, she makes her way to where she can sense Nick, Cait, Colin and Aine.
She steps through a doorway of a chamber when she is suddenly blinded by a brilliant flash of glowing light. She yells in surprise and shakes her head, blinking her eyes.
When the light finally fades, she sees Nick and the others. She gasps slightly when Nick staggers and rushes over to help him. "Nick! Are you okay?" She holds out a hand to help him steady himself. "What happened, what was that light?" She asks him.
She nods her head to Cait, Colin and Aine. "Hello Cait, Colin, Aine. What brings you guys out here in the middle of the jungle?" She lays a hand lightly on Nick's arm to see if he's okay.

Cait nods. “Yes, it is. So it’s not just because we are Sidhe. It is something else that is causing the reaction.”
Cait shields her eyes when the statue reacts as strongly to Nick as to her. A strong tremor echoes through the Force. “Now that is interesting. Its reaction was just as strong as when I held it. In fact I think the reaction was stronger. I wonder if it’s because you are a guardian. I should say I did. Are you alright Nick? You look a little dizzy.”
Aine and Colin exchange surprised looks at the statue's reaction.
"You okay Nick?" Aine asks.
"You Alright Cos?" Colin says.
Cait turns her head at Kaden’s entrance. “Hello Kaden. Nice of you to join us. Just doing a little exploring; look at what we found.” Cait shows her the statue.
The reaction of Woolmanders is one of extreme excitement. “The chosen has come….” Chel says. "Chosen… Chosen …" they chant.
Cait raises an eyebrow at that. “Now that was interesting…” She didn't know if the others understood what the Woolmanders were saying.
But this was getting more interesting and curious by the minute.

He blinks his eyes against the glare of the light and when the glow dies down, he sees Kaden approaching him. When she asks him if he's alright, he nods his head. "Yes, Kaden I'm fine. Just got a little lightheaded for some reason. I'm sensing incredible power right now but I can't pinpoint its location."He smiles softly and takes hold of her hand. "That light? Apparently it came from that statue." He says indicating the statue on the ground near his feet. "I would guess its reacting to mine, Cait and Colin's unique bloodline for some reason."Cait nods. “Yes, it is. So it’s not just because we are Sidhe. It is something else that is causing the reaction.”Cait shields her eyes when the statue reacts as strongly to Nick as to her. A strong tremor echoes through the Force. “Now that is interesting.

Nick looks over at Cait and raises an eyebrow. "A guardian? What is that supposed to mean?" He sighs and nods his head. "Yeah, I'm okay. I was dizzy a little bit, not sure why though."He laughs and nods his head. "Yes, Colin, Aine, I'm fine."
It is then that he notices the Woolamanders all getting excited and jumping around. "What the heck is their problem?" He asks aloud. He then pauses because for some reason, he can start to understand what they're saying. He glances at Cait. "Umm, can you hear them Cait? I can almost swear they're saying The Chosen has come. What is that supposed to mean I wonder." He quietly stands there watching the Woolamanders with a puzzled look on his face. |

I don't think I've ever been in this area before, its very intriguing." She looks at Nick and then down at the statue at his feet. "All that light came from that thing? Wow, just because it reacted to all of your bloodline? Is it because you are all Sidhe or something?" She then raises an eyebrow. "You're sensing incredible power? Is it coming from inside the Palace somewhere?"She then notices the Woolamanders jumping around as well. "You can hear what they're saying? All I'm hearing is screeching and hooting and noises." She glances at Cait to hear what she has to say. |

Cait leans over and picks up the statue it begins to glow again brightly but not as bright as when Nick held it. She is relieved that the statue wasn’t damaged when Nick dropped it in his surprise.
Cait looks up and gives Nick an amused look at his question. “Yes, guardian….as you…were made one. Remember? You were knighted by the heir to the throne of Danaan as a Sidhe Guardian of Bakura after your fight with Camulus on Dantooine.” She gives him a knowing look the closest she will come to revealing her actual position and rank on Danaan.
“Hmm…. There was a release of great power that rippled through the Force when you held the statue that could have made anyone dizzy. You caused something to happen but what I don’t know yet. But I think it is something connected with this place and Yavin’s history and the Sidhe.”
Aine and Colin look relieved when Nick says he is fine. “Good.” They say together.
Cait gives Nick a thoughtful look. “You understand that? Hmmm.....Interesting…because that is exactly what they are saying; well close as it comes to what they mean. It seems Nick they think you are the Chosen one whatever that means.” She nods towards the statue she is holding. “This seems to be the key to whatever is going on here. Do you think can find out from the artifact if it will show you what you need to do with it or what it is for? If you are the Chosen one you should be able to control it.”
To Kaden Cait says. “Yes, it is that. The carvings seem to be a visual dictionary to the Woolamanders form of communication. It seems to be a combination of movement and sound and facial expression to communicate meaning.” She gives Nick a mischievous look and in a teasing voice asks. “How is your singing and dancing Nick?”

Nick glances at Kaden and nods his head. "Yes, Kaden. That light came from this statue. For some reason, this power I'm sensing is coming from somewhere inside the Palace."
Nick then looks at Cait and nods his head remembering when he was made Guardian of Bakura. "Oh yeah, I remember now. It was right after I defeated Camulus...or so I thought. I just recently found out that he's apparently still alive."
He watches as she picks up the statue again. "So, you think this statue might be a key to something that is hidden here?"
He looks around to see that the Woolamanders have quieted down some but they were still chanting the chosen one has come. When Cait mentions how well can he sing and dance, he raises an eyebrow.
"Why? What are you suggesting I do Cait?" He then reaches over and takes hold of the statue. As his fingers close around it, the bright glowing light returns. This time however, the statue itself begins to disintegrate until all that remains is the orb of pure white energy. Suddenly, the orb takes off, moving deeper into the Palace acting like a beacon. "Quick, after it! It could be leading us to the source!" He shouts and immediately gives chase on the orb.

“Yes, that.” Cait agrees with a smile that vanishes when she hears what Nick says next. “That is not good news Nick. Where did you learn that? And do you know where he is? We don’t want anymore incidents like the last time Does your father know?.” She looks concerned at the news.
“I don’t know Nick it might be. I don’t think the Sith would have tried to hide it if it wasn’t important somehow. But that would make sense that it is a key to something else. The question is what?”
Cait grins at Nick’s raised eyebrow and says in explanation. “Being able to sing and dance is a help with that form of communication to get the gestures and right tones for what you are trying to say. Being flexible doesn't hurt either.”
She is only half teasing.
“Let the Force and the statue guide you in what to do with it Nick. You will know when it is the right thing to do.” Cait says as she hands him back the statue.
Colin and Aine watch to see what will happen next. Phedra and Eleyn watch with interest nearby.
But even Cait is startled by what happens next. She watches in amazement when the statue disintegrates in Nick’s hands and turn into a brilliant orb of light. “Now that is interesting.” She blinks in surprise when the orb suddenly takes off and goes deeper into the palace. Then Nick takes off after it. “Nick wait!” Cait says as he disappears in pursuit of the orb. “Oh, this is just great!” She says as she runs after Nick. The others are startled by the sudden events and take a few moments to react and then follow them into the interior of the palace. Phedra, Eleyn are first to follow Cait and Nick they are followed by Colin and Aine.
