The Books of Oyja II: Jash
Chapter 14 For Love

I waited for Liem Tenju, my old master, to come take Doltan’s place. Liem would not be a true ruler, but would only rule until someone better could be found. I did not like to think of my former master as weak, but I knew he wasn’t strong enough.

Jash stood by my side and I put a hand on her shoulder, she smiled. I smiled back. Even as the sky started to collapse Liem came rushing to our aid. I looked at Jash and remembered all she had done for me. She had helped me become better and stronger. She had helped me overcome my Tenju ways.

“The Hist are coming.” Jash said and I nodded. They were finally free and The Dark Lord of the Night had commanded them to attack me. But it had seemed as if he had told them not to at the same time. Everything was so confusing!

I had started to admire Kiem and then, when I became an it, I had loved her. Jash was Kiem and Kiem was Jash. I now thought of Jash as a separate being. Maybe I began to love Jash because of Kiem, but now things were different.

Liem came in and bowed to me, even though Jash was my superior. “I am here to govern while a way is being found to fix Tenju Hell.” Liem said.

Yes, fixing Tenju Hell would be a tiring task for another time. I didn’t want to be involved with the Tenju anymore and I wanted a break. I looked at Liem. “Liem, I am glad Tenju Hell will be in good hands, at last. I am honored to know I was your Padawan.” I said.

“And I am honored to know you helped bring about the collapse of Doltan.” Liem said.

“Doltan is not dead.”

“He is gone enough for me.” Liem replied. “Tenju Hell can now be reborn and it’s thanks to you.”

I looked to Jash and said, “Jash was also a part of this. She helped me and without her I wouldn’t be here today.”

Liem bowed to Jash. “I will keep Tenju Hell ready for your return.” He said. I believed him, though power could corrupt even the wisest.

“I trust you.” Jash said. “Remember, one day another Master Tenju will be found; burnt, broken, and whose Temple is desecrated.”

“Doesn’t sound too promising.” Liem complained.

Jash looked at him. “Not all fortunes bring joy. And not all joy brings fortunes.” They bowed down at each other then she and I left. I loved her, we both knew that. My love for her was so great and I didn’t know what to do. She had given me so much and I, so little.

The sky had stopped breaking down a little, but there were fires starting everywhere! People were screaming in pain, as some of them were hurt. I wished to help every one of them, but I couldn’t.

“Jash,” I said and she looked at me. “I thank you very much for what you have done. You’ve shown me a broader world than even the Tenju could.”

“It was your strength that let you do it. Without your inner strength you would have gone nowhere. I did have something to do with your change, but you deserve some credit.” Jash said.

I smiled at Jash. “Yes, I do deserve some credit. I just…I admired Kiem before I met you. I didn’t love her, but I admired her for some strange reason. Do you think that’s why I’m attracted to you?”

Jash sighed. “I do have Kiem’s memories, yes. Why are you attracted to me? You have stated why before.”

We walked and there were some fires. “Don’t you think we should help them?” I asked. Jash pointed to the sky and I saw it turn dark. I shook my head, wishing I could help them, but the Hist would be after me soon. We then stopped where there was some peace.

“My skin, my face is false. I have been shaped and changed cruelly. But you helped me. What more could I ask?” I stated to Jash.

“Change back.” Jash urged me. “Be who you were.”

I shook my head. “That life is over.” I put my hands on Jash’s shoulders. “I want a life with you.”

“Your love is wrongly placed.”

“I don’t care!” I hissed. “Watch me, as I make the final change.”

I had made the change from female human to androgynous Twi’lek. I was now making the change to male Twi’lek. I focused on my lekkus. They crawled up my head, sinking down, and changed color to a pale brown. My face became less deformed and showed more masculinity. My butt and hips got more masculine also, making disturbing noises as they did so. I acquired male organs and I felt weird.

“I see your love is real.” Jash said. “I accept.” We then embraced each other.

Author’s Note: I realize this is just getting weirder and weirder. I leave you at a cliffhanger, I know. What’s going to happen to Tenju Hell? Is Liem Tenju going to get corrupted by power? What will happen to Oyja and Jash? Will the Hist come after Oyja? Where is Doltan?

Dedication: I would like to dedicate this chapter to Kasey Skel, a dear friend of mine.
