A cold path (Anyone)

[Owa]

The Cold winds howling and chasing ferociously after the cold snow that drifts down from above the high peeks of the towering mountains and cliffs of frozen ice this was the frozen hell known as Hoth and the trail of the monster I seek has brought me here to walk down this ever winding cold path with my hood up and my ragged cloak wrapped tightly around me flapping recklessly in the powerful winds, wielding over my shoulder a bag. I was walking through the heavy snow towards an open mountain pass, as I was walking through I noticed just barely the tracks that had been laid before me only catching my attention by the trace of blood buried under the new thin layer of snow leading forwards in the direction of which I was heading then echoing out loudly throughout the pass was an enormous cry which was not the sound of any humanoid creature I had known then all that could be heard once again was the howling of the wind, I knew now that caution was needed for whatever lied ahead of me.

Following the trail the skies above were darkening and the winds picking up more conjuring a blizzard, how long I’ve been out here I don’t know but I would surely have to find some shelter soon then catching a glimpse through the shroud of snow in front of me I could see a small cave up ahead so I made my way towards it. Inside was dark and the walls fairly solid with icicles of many sizes coming out from the ceiling as I ventured deeper into the cave it widened until I reached a fork up ahead , at this point I thought it would be wise to head back to the room sized part of the cave so that I could make a fire and rest. I found a spot in the cave and set down my bag and pulled back my hood “now this spot should do nicely” I reached into my bag and pulled out the portable fire and placed it down just in front of me then hitting the switch just to the left side of it creating a fire just big enough to keep me warm, I also then pulled out a pack of rations and started to eat as I lay there next to the flames. “HHhhmmm…….how long has it been now that I’ve been tracking you down “ I said out loud knowing that I was alone but then again it might catch his ear if he was anywhere near “every time I get close you manage to disappear……are you toying with me or are you actually running in fear of me” once again out loud but of course with no reply just the howling of the wind flowing through the dark icy cave, was I going mad no just waiting for our meeting to come.

[Sakura]

Sakura's eyes opened instantly at the sound of the snapping of fire. At that very moment, her deep sleep had been disturbed and her concentration on keeping herself hidden from other living things was broken. She stood up, put on her hood and walked back slightly to stay away from the fire's light. Her face was only covered by the shadows of her hood and her body was also hidden by her full dark brown cloak. Sencing that the man that stood in front of her was a Dark Jedi, she switched herself to seem like a Dark Jedi herself. She still stayed cautious and crouched and tried to stay hidden.

[Owa]

As i sat there watching the flames dance and the light flicker off the cave walls i could hear and feel a faint breath past my ear someone else was in this cave with me and close by, it may have been that they had heard my conversation for all i know their could be more than just the one but the breath i heard and felt on my ear was a soft one i would have gathered from this that their was attleast a woman near by.

"Would you care to join me?" i asked the one who conceals themselves in the darkness of the caves walls waiting patiently for a reply from the shadows as i had pulled out a cup and poured myself a drink raising it to my lips.

[Darth Semaj]

Darth Semaj was flying smoothly into the orbit of Hoth. This planet was notorious for its unbearably cold climate and harsh winds. He had just come from the planet Korriban and was looking for a suiting planet to create a shelter. He wanted to go to a planet that wouldn't have much life so that he could use his shelter as a horde for all of his things that he couldn't bring with him in his space travels without having to worry about someone stealing them.

He was now about 200 feet above ground level and was looking for a good place to land. This was unseccessful at first because of the constant snow that was covering his ship's windshields. However, his keen eyes were able to spot a place despite the difficulty. It was a depression in the ground that would fit his ship perfectly.

Putting the ship in movor mode, he softly landed on the hard frozen ground. He then put on his thick brown wookie-fur coat that he had created himself out of an actual wookie that he had slain while visiting Kasheek. Over the coat, he wore the same black cloak that he usually wore, hiding his face with the hood. Now protected from the cold, he took the activation keycard out of his ship and departed.

Walking around for approximately 4 hours, he had yet to find a cave suitable for storing his items. Time, however, was no concern of his. He would find a fitting shelter even if it took him the rest of his life.

Despite his preparation for a long search, it only took him another half-hour before he was able to find a rather large opening to a cave in the side of an ice-covered mountain. Walking in, he quickly noticed that this cave lead to a long, winding tunnel. He decided to walk through the tunnel to make sure that no one else was there. He normally would just assume that no one was living here, but he felt a presence in the cave and he knew he should check it out.

The tunnel lead him closer and closer to the presence he sensed. He soon came to a spot where there seemed to be a fire. He now sensed two beings in the immediate area, even though he was only able to see one of them.

"Hello, you may call me Darth Semaj. I am here in search of a fitting place to live, do you know of such a location, human?"

[Owa]

While waiting for the beauty within the shadows to reveal themself another presence had revealed themself this dark hooded figure walking towards me announcing himself and explaining his reason for coming to this frozen hell.

Little laughter "Close enough..." i said to the human remark "The name is Owa and a good location i could not give for i am only a wanderer in search" i answered as i poured another drink "So why Hoth of all places?"

[Darth Semaj]

Semaj's face remained grim as he understood why the stranger was laughing. It was because he had called Owa a human when he was infact a mixed breed of human and zabrak. This was a common mistake for Semaj as he never really cared to look at the person he was talking to directly unless the person posed a threat. Now that he had been corrected, he noticed the horns on Owa's head, a symbol that Semaj used to tell the difference between humans, chiss', and zaraks.

After taking a moment to decided whether this person was worth his time, Semaj decided to answer the question. "I chose this planet because of my hunt for wampas. They are a strong race and I want to see how I fare against them. I know how rare they are and I beleive it will be a challenge to hunt them. Also, I'm sure their fur would make for a great coat if made correctly."

This was a lie, of course. But he couldn't go around telling strangers of his true intentions, that would be irresponsible and stupid. He figured that making himself out to be a hunter would be the best way to get information from this person.

"And you? What would drive a someone to search for something besides a hunt here?"

[Owa]

As i looked closer at the man before me i noticed he was a Twi'lek a rather taller than ussuall one at that, and listening to his reason for coming to this planet i couldnt help but feel that he was more than a hunter but if he felt the need to hide something i wasnt going to pry it out of him after all we all have our secrets.

"I guess one would say im searching for a friend, i doubt you may have seen another man on your way here or noticed anything strange?" i asked incase he had encountered the man i was after.

"Wookie isnt it" i said while looking closely at his clothing noticing the fur coat.

"So what exactly do you go as far as to hunt?" i asked out of curiosity.

[Sakura]

Seeing that the group seemed slightly friendly, Sakura slipped out of the dark, gripping onto her robe because of the cold and shyly moved closer. For about a month Sakura was deserted in this world because of her lack of navigation and lack of layer of clothing.

"M-May I still join you?"

Sakura stood, but stood with her back on the wall as she waited for a reply.

[Owa]

As i waited the woman i had felt the presence of had come out from the shadows.

"Of course you can i wouldnt turn down the company of a beautiful woman such as yourself." i said while looking at her noticing she didnt seem to be wearing many layers looking a bit cold, i stood up taking my cloak off and presenting it out towards her "You look abit cold.. here you can wrap this around you....... and maybe... join me next to the fire." I offered not wanting her to freeze to death hoping she would accept my invitation.

[Sakura]

Sakura smiled as she accepted the cloak and sat next to the fire.

"I couldn't help but hear about you looking for someone. Are you, by any chance, working as a bounty hunter?"

Sakura kept her eyes on the fire, hoping not to seem too suspicious.

[Darth Semaj]

Semaj was taken back by the fact that the only person he has ever encountered on this planet seemed to be surprisingly hospitable towards him. He decided to answer this man's question for no other reason than the man seemed like a sith jedi and Semaj was having a relatively good day.

"Yes this is Wookie fur, I killed and skinned this coat myself." He then showed off the coat by running his hands through its fur. "This beauty doesn't even have a scratch on it, one of my better skinnings if I do say so myself. To answer your earlier question, I will hunt anything I please. This does not exclude intelligent mixed breeds such as yourself. I often hunt humanoids sheerly for the thrill. It is exhilarating to be able to catch and kill a thing that has done everything it can to stop you."

He was waiting for Owa's reaction when he heard the other person begin to speak. This new presence was a girl who seemed to be on the side of the sith as well.

[Sakura]

occ: writer's block @_@

Sakura was slightly taken aback and smiled when she heard what Semaj had said. She didn't kill humans for the thrill, but for money. This man would just go and kill just because he felt like it... She slid over to the wall slightly and leaned on it as she intently listened to both stories, trying to see if she can find some information on 'the one' she is looking for...

[Owa]

"To answer your question no im not a hunter and the word friend i use very lightly." i answered to the womans question.

While listening to Semaj I poured a drink for the mysterious woman and held it out slightly not trying to force it onto her "Would you like a drink it will keep you warm?" i was slightly concerned about her which wasnt normal for me ussually.

After hearing Semaj's answer i could now see he was definetly no stranger to the slow dance of death killing was more a first nature than one would say a second, i to was no stranger to the lust of blood but i soon realised that one had to control it.

"So youll hunt pretty much everything i take it youve also felt the cold whispers of death herself encourage one to kill." i said then also holding out a drink to Semaj

"Would you also care for a drink?"

[Sakura]

Sakura shook her head to the drink.

"I'm really not much of a drinker, if it is an alcohol.... I'll be alright, thank you for offering me it though."

Sakura kept her eyes at the blizzard outside as she waited for it to die down so she could leave, though it seemed very determined to keep going...
