...he calls bullshit.

It's a matter of historical record, but okay.

He'll focus a lot on studying, anyway.

Permalink

Probably a good idea.


After a while, his teachers call him in to talk. They had originally thought that he would have to face the Trials, but after his vision they no longer think that is necessary. Does he still wish to?

"Why is it not necessary?"

Permalink

"You have seen the end of the path already."

Permalink

"And there are no other advantages to the Trials?"

Permalink

"It is a confirmation of your understanding of the philosophy of Voss and the Mystics, and the next step on the path to joining us."

Permalink

"...I see. I believe it will not be necessary, then."

Permalink

They nod like they were expecting this answer.

"Is it then your intention to find this Lord Occlus?"

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"We have located the planet Belsavis and secured transportation. When you are ready, you may depart."

Permalink

"—already? Er, yeah, I can leave soon—I would like to say goodbye to some people—"

Permalink

"In your own time, young one."

So she gets her stuff and says goodbyes—she hasn't made friends, not really, but she has a hard time not caring about people, and especially not people she's spent so much time around—but then she's ready to go.

The shuttle to Voss-Ka manages not to crash this time. Then it's up to orbit, and a familiar smuggler and his junky ship.

Permalink

"Hello! Good to see you alive."

Permalink

"Yeah, well. we'll see how this run goes."

Permalink

"Hopefully well. How have you been?"

Permalink

"Eh. Let's get going, yeah?" He cycles open the airlock and walks in, mumbling "Sooner I get these orange-eyed freaks off my back the better..."

Permalink

"You get used to them," she says, patting his back lightly.

Permalink

He grumbles something unintelligible.

Permalink

She smiles and goes to find her quarters.

Same place they were last time.

Now, getting onto Belsavis is going to be slightly trickier than getting onto Voss because Belsavis is the Republic's unofficial prison world and travel is heavily interdicted. On the bright side, the Empire is currently staging some sort of mass breakout and things are in utter chaos. With a bit of luck, they'll be able to make it to the surface without too much trouble.

You know, having more-or-less infallible visions gives her some extra confidence.

Not enough that she's unprepared. How can she help?
