STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Initiation

"You know what I want," Rand says. "I would only be repeating myself, Rianna. Reach your potential and the Galaxy is yours for the taking. No more meekness, no more restrictions, no more repression. The Dark Side would release you from all such nonsense."

"No more restrictions? What about the ones you've created? This is no better."

"These only exist because you haven't embraced what you've become," Rand says. "You cling to your status as a Jedi Knight as if it ever brought you anything but misery. Were you ever truly happy under Myraline?"

"And this is meant to make me happy?" Rianna responds, dodging the question.

"It will," Rand says. "In time. Now is your transition; it's not an easy one."

"I don't believe you. How is always running from everything, plotting, and constantly having to watch your back because you can't trust anyone else around you supposed to be a good thing?" Rianna snaps in response.

"What is it you want, Rand? Now, I mean."

"I want you to have this," Rand says.

He presses something into your hand. It is a cold, metal cyllinder.

Would it happen to be Rianna's lightsaber?

Close, but not quite. The grip isn't as familiar to you as your own blade...

Myraline's?

"I'm surprised you'd trust me with this..." Rianna comments quietly. "And where is my own?"

"It'll be yours when we leave," Rand says, letting Myraline's lightsaber go. It feels cold in your hand, and not entirely comfortable.

"And when will that be?" Rianna says, activating the lightsaber and making a few practice swings just to test how out of shape she is.

"Soon," Rand says. "I've sensed as much. Meaning we do not have much time."

"I don't like that," Rianna says.

She can't help but feel tempted to try and attack, even though there's no way it'd go well...

Without your full physique restored, it certainly would not.

In any case, Rand has another task for you, when you are ready. And this time, he will be going with you.

"What now?"

She'll put away the lightsaber for the moment...

"I want to explore the caverns further," Rand says.

"You don't know all of them? That's surprising," she responds, somewhat sarcastically.

"Am I expected to know every single cavern?" Rand asks. "That seems unrealistic to expect of anyone."

"You've been here before, clearly, and how am I to know how many caverns there are?" Rianna snapped back. "What horrors will you be looking for now?"
