Iziz, Capital City

[Emanon]

Iziz was the only city on Onderon, and served as the planet's capital. The Western Square was located near the Merchant Quarter, and also contained a cantina. The Merchant Quarter was the center of all business and trade on Onderon. The Merchant Quarter connected the Western Square, Iziz Starport, and the Sky Ramp. The Sky Ramp led to the Royal Palace, where the planet's leadership resided.

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Landing his shuttle in the docking bay he was assigned to,he stepped down his loading ramp,greeted by the authorities,he had the sudden idea that this was a bad idea,he had his hood raised,looking up at the young soldier who waited for him,he bowed to Johnathan,"Welcome,Master Jedi."he said,"We have a temporary Starport Visa here for you.May I ask why you have come?"He asked,holding out the starport visa to Johnathan.

Johnathan nodded and took the visa,"I'm here on my own personal business,I have come to get resources and to meet with the queen about possibly allying this planet with the Jedi Order."he said.

The soldier look startled,"Well,Master Jedi,we will arrange you a meeting with her highness,though it may take a while,you may want to rent an appartment within the city,and there is a cantina on the far side,please enjoy your stay,sir."then he turned and gave out orders to the others to follow him away.

Johnathan smiled,"Thank you for your hospitality."he said,it was refreshing to have a nice welcome. Walking out of the Starport,his codes checked out and he was soon in the city,once there he walked toward the cantina area,avoiding everyone along the way,he soon stepped into the cantina,and went up to the bar,where the bartender gave him a strong drink,Johnathan smelled it,he could sense all of the intoxicants,and grinned,this was going to be a fun day,taking a gulp from the corellian whiskey,the burn was subtle to him,and he continued to drink on,watching the patrons he could sense something strange here.

[Arya Lamperouge]

A delicately built winged woman maneuvers her way though the crowded streets of Iziz. As she walks, her eyes remain low, wanting to keep a low profile and avoid the typical stares that her form gain her. It had only been a short time since her adoptive parents death, and she was till struggling with the guilty feelings that perhaps it was all her fault. She finds the cantina, and after eons of walking, the prospect of a drink makes her feel even more parched than she really was. Walking into the cantina, she orders herself a tihaar. When the drink is handed to her, she nods politely, and tosses the bar key the creds needed to cover her tab. Glancing around, she finds a dark corner booth, and smiles to herself, the booth to her seeming like the perfect place to avoid being seen. As she reaches the table, she fluffs the feathers on her wings, a necessary adjustment for her prior to taking a seat. Slipping into the booth, she sips at her drink, slowly as to enjoy it, and idly traces the rim of the glass, avoiding eye contact with anyone around her; her slightly tangled chocolately locks providing her with a curtain of security.

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan tilted his head to the newcomer,he could feel the force rolling off of her,it was weak and not focused,but it was definitely there,he followed her with his eyes,stepping over to the dark corner casually,he stood next to the table speaking softly,"Greetings...may I join you?"His hood was raised covering his face mostly,he appeared as a dark figure,but as he spoke,it was of pure light.

[Arya Lamperouge]

Arya looks up, quite startled as the male human speaks to her. She wasn't used to being approached out of no where, especially by someone who seemed to not be trying to judge her. Wiping a loose strand of her dark hair from her eyes, she nods.

"Please... feel free..."

She says timidly, motioning to the seat across from her's. She doesn't say any more than that, she instead glances to size up this stranger, trying to decide whether or not she should make a hasty exit.

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Nodding his head,he took the seat,the bartender brought over more drinks,Johnathan gave the waiter a pricey tip and paid for the drinks,feeling her uneasiness,he sent her calming thoughts.

"I'm not here to hurt you,my name...is..well you can call me J."he said,also wanting to keep a low profile,his name was popular in these parts already,during the time he was possessed as Paymon,rumors were spread that Johnathan was Paymon's servant,who killed everyone who he passed by,it was very barbaric,and against his own likings,but he would soon have his name renounced to a Jedi Knight.Raising his head,he looked at her,struck by her beauty,he kept his face hidden,but watched all of the others around the cantina.

[Arya Lamperouge]

Feeling an odd sense of calm touch her, Arya can't help but to blink. What was going on here? She knew better than to trust him, but somehow she'd lost her desire to run. Pressing the glass to her lips, Arya goes against her typical instinct, and offers him a slight smile.

"I'm Arya..."

She says simply, not offering much more than he did about herself. The petite creature tilts her head to one side, ruffling her wings again, the delicate feathers fluttering slightly. She wanted to see his face, her adoptive mother had always told her that you could tell much about a person just by their eyes. Noticing how he kept his face hidden, a tinge of uneasiness comes to her again, causing her to faintly begin to glow. She sighs, not wanting to make the man feel uncomfortable by her odd appearance, but knowing her white glow is something her diathim heritage makes unavoidable. After a moment, she finally continues.

"...it's uh... a pleasure to make your acquaintance J..."

[Johnathan Kenobi]

He nodded,the cantina was getting slower now,they were alone in this room,he new it and then he sighed softly,bowing his head low,"The pleasure is all mine..Arya."he said,then reaching up his gloved hands he pulled and lowered his hood,his long black locks of hair laid back perfectly,his ice blue eyes glowed peacefully,his aura was nothing but peace,he spoke to her again,"I am sorry for being secretive,its just..well..there are a lot of people who dislike my kind."he said,which was very true,several people hated Jedi,especially ones like him.

[Arya Lamperouge]

"Heh..."

Arya says quietly, his peaceful eyes helping her freakish glow to subside somewhat. She looked his face over, then the cascading locks, she wasn't quite sure what to think of him, but for now he seemed... genuine. "Seemed" being the key word echoing in her mind. Sighing a bit, she nods, adding more to the conversation.

"...I know more than my fair share about being disliked. People are far from friendly with the winged beast that I am."

She tucks another strand of hair behind her ear.

"...I would forever hide my identity if I could."

She says, not talking about her "angelic" appearance, but of the past she felt to be real within her heart. Her parents had died, and then her adoptive parents, leaving her completely alone. Arya just knew it had to be her fault, that she had to of done something terrible to have karma take away everything she ever loved. She didn't know what or how... but somehow... in her mind... it was her fault.

[Johnathan Kenobi]

He nodded,looking down,"I have been a monster myself,I once walked a very dark path,though,I found peace with my inner beast,and have become a guardian of peace and justice to our galaxy,and I can assure you,you are not a beast."he said to her,he could sense her dismay,and he tried to calm her,reaching to place his hand on hers,"If you wish to be forgiven for your past,all you have to do,is live a brighter future."he spoke wisely,these words were once told to him,so long ago,though he doubted she would take to them,simply because when he first heard them,neither did he.

[Arya Lamperouge]

Arya blinks, suddenly snapping out of her self pity as her mind makes a realization. He was one of "those". Those Jetii her adoptive father had warned her about.

O'sik!

She thinks. She'd seen tons of Jedi in her day, but none had actually been brazen enough to approach her. She knew her Mandalorian adoptive family's feelings towards Jetii, and figured she should tell him where to go, but... she had been alone for so long now, the company was at least refreshing. As his hand reaches for her's, she doesn't move, but can feel her body instinctively tense up. She wasn't sure if this was because he was a Jedi, or if it were due to the fact that she'd never really know much of this so called "human compassion" that was supposedly to exist. Her black eyes meet his blue ones, listening to his final few words, before she finally moves to speak.

"A brighter future? What sort of future is that? Why try to make something out of a life that has long since been forsaken by Karma? A life who's lost everything, multiple times. Why even bother trying to rebuild it, when we all know it will simply crumble beneath your feet as soon as you start to feel comfortable in it!"

She retorts, the flecks of green in her eyes dancing like bolts of lightening, though her hand still connected to his, somehow finding strength from the current flowing between their skins.

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan sighed,he knew that she knew who what he was,he looked straight into her eyes,they were so beautiful,but again he replied,"Because,you can take things from your past,and learn from your mistakes,and use that to your advantage,and if you remember,that life is sacrifice,you lose things,yes its true,I've lost alot of things to my life,but,I would rather my destiny be something great,than for it to be tainted by my past,so that is why I keep my mind on here and now,but I always look to the future,the future is what we make it,and I want to make it bright and peaceful,and end all of this violence and conflict,but most of all,I want to protect peace..and instill it in the galaxy,but not through fear..through something greater."he said,smiling softly,he knew his time was limited here at the cantina,but this woman,who was only a year or two younger than him,was indeed a force adept,now that he was touching her,he could feel it flowing off of her,"Would you like that?"he asked her.

[Arya Lamperouge]

Arya let her eyes meet his. His eyes were so different than her own. Her's were dark, as black as midnight; his in comparasion were icy... blue... so blue... she had never seen anything quite like them. She listens to his words, taking them in, and giving them genuine consideration, even though outwardly her hard shell caused her to form a furrowed frown.

"Whoever said I had something to hide? So I've lost my family twice, what does that matter? My adoptive father always told me that you can't control the future, only the here and now..."

She says, getting a strange feeling within. Arya was indeed a force adept, she however didn't know it, so these strange feelings made her nervous. Her furrow turned into a glare as she decides that "J" is using that Jetii magic against her to try and mess with her mind. She speaks again, this time at a whisper, having at least enough courtesy to honor his wish for anonymity.

"You think your Jetii magic will change who I am? You think you have any right to try and control what I know, what I believe? No... ner buir always told me that your kind would try and taint me, to make me their little puppet... I won't do it... I won't become your pawn..."

As she whispers, the white glow about her burns brighter and brighter. Her inner thoughts were all mangled and twisted until she wasn't sure what to think. She takes a deep breath, trying to relax. She loved kaysh buir more then life, and his word was like gospel to her, but somehow, even though she hated Jedi more than anything, she could some how feel the truth in "J's" words. She didn't want to believe him, and she definitely didn't trust him... but then... she never trusted anyone these days... but something within her was stirred. Could it be the Jetii magic getting to her? What in the hell were these strange feelings that this beautiful man were bringing her?

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan sighed,frowning,she didn't know she had these powers to,he lowered his gaze,and looked away,"I only used my powers to keep you from running away from me,I haven't used them again.."he said,suddenly feeling a darkening force presence reveal itself,he looked over to the bar,how could have not noticed them before,they were a trio,of Sith..but he could tell that they knew he was here,he needed to get Arya out of the Cantina,he looked at her,speaking so only she could hear him,"When I say run,leave the Cantina,those people at the bar,they are here to kill me,and I don't want you to get hurt,please..do this..for your safety."he begged,then not waiting for her reply,he stood up and made his way across the room,raising his hood as he stood,he knew they would notice him,and the leader did,calling out to him,with a laugh.

"Where do you think your going,coward?"the leader yelled,his eyes were yellow,his hair was black,and his eyes were red around the rims,his skin was pale white,he held his lightsaber in his right hand,activating it."Never mind,don't waste your time,Jedi. Save your breath and save us time and throw down your weapons and die by my merciful hand."he called to him.

Johnathan couldn't help but let a grin cross his face,"You Sith hopefuls,always trying to sound like the Masters,so sad that you have things messed up in your mind,come..try to kill me."He said letting his hood fall,and his entire cloak rolled off of his shoulders,the others activated their lightsabers,things were about to get ugly,Johnathan smiled,'This is where the fun begins.' he thought,he knew it was taboo within the Jedi,but he loved to fight,he loved the rush he got from it,this is why he was the Blade master of the Jedi Order,and why he practiced his saber techniques than the boring Jedi Codes,he lowered his right hand,choosing the saber hilt on his right hip,he activated the blue blade,is peacefully came to life,its hum calmed Johnathan and made it easier for him to focus on the battle,he closed his eyes,and as the Sith Jumped at him he called out to Arya,"Run now!"

[Arya Lamperouge]

Aria blinks subtly, her wings ruffling as a chill crossed her spine. She didn't exactly mean to offend the Jedi, just to get him to understand she wouldn't be playing his little games. She couldn't believe, however, that she had fallen victim to his mind tricks. She knew better... after a moment, she snaps out of it, as she hears him tell her that her life could be in danger because of him. As he tells her to run on his command, she was about to comment, and before she could open her mouth, found herself alone. She watches as he walks straight into the group of intense looking men. What was he thinking? These thugs could likely harm him, and would without thinking twice... wasn't HE the one that should be running?! Sighing, she resolves that she'll for once do as she asked, and run when he says, maybe there was a method to his madness?

As soon as the word "run" crosses his lips, Arya is on her feet, the air brushing through her feathers causing a soft swoosh through the air. She's about to cross the thresh hold of the door, when she finds herself face to face with one of the thugs, one who has to be at least a foot and a half taller than her. Arya stops in her tracks, not at all afraid of this big bully, but not really wanting to cause a tussle OR be known for running with a Jedi.

"Where ya goin' bird girl?"

The ogre-esque being inquires of her, a red bladed light saber held in his hand. Arya glares up at him, her white glow growing brighter, not from fear this time, but from sheer annoyance.

"Where ever your ugly butt isn't!"

She says, standing her ground against him. The big tall guy trails a finger down her back, in between her feathers, normally something very erotic for her, but in this case... something that epically pissed her off. She didn't want this chakaar to look at her, let alone touch her. Without thinking her glow becomes so white her details are hard to visualize, and her foot makes contact with his sith jewels, causing him to double over. As the bully bends forward, her fist moves in a fast upper cut, meeting square with his nose.

"Touch me again and you'll regret it gar mir'osik!"

Arya exclaims, her petite stature making her look like a child beside the beastly man. The sith, obviously angered by her actions stands as straight as he can, his formerly yellow eyes now as red as blood and filled with a glowing fire.

No little girl! YOU are the one who's going to regret their actions!

He exclaims as he raises his blade in motion to attack the dainty looking dala.
