The Books of Oyja II: Jash
Chapter 5 Raiders

It was a calm day. Breeze blowing slightly, which I could tell by the movement of the bushes. There was a Dewback, Naz, in my yard, napping. You could see when it exhaled and inhaled. I was outside, just enjoying myself. I had taken some time off to break into my new house.

I was thinking about the collection of minds, it had been quiet. I had been expecting it to react sooner. I was wondering, also, what I was going to do about Master Tenju. It was going to be hard, I respected him, like all Slaves, Padawans, and Tenju should. It would be hard for me to overthrow him, I couldn’t even imagine killing him.

I wish Kiem were here to share my joy. My garden had flowers and fruits in it! Walking through it you could smell heaven! Different animals came to pollinate the flowers. I talked to the plants regularly and it helped them grow.

I noticed that there were some creatures coming towards me! There were Nexus, Rodians, Wookies, and Falleens! They looked battle hardened, yet didn’t look like soldiers. They must have not known what they were coming up against, seeing that they were about to attack a Tenju!

I took my lightsaber out and walked to the front yard. I had the house make itself totally protected. Naz, my Dewback, took heed of my actions and also stood ready. Naz had gone through a couple of battles with me, nothing big, but he had great strength in him. I breathed deep, preparing mind and body to fight.

A Wookie shot a laser at me, which was aimed to hit the house, but it was swallowed up. I then ran out to meet them, with Naz close by. The Nexu came at us, leaving the rest to attack the house. I didn’t want the thought to cross my mind that these Nexu were going to be easy to kill, that thought belonged to a Slave!

Two of the Nexu went for Naz and the other three went for me. I prepared myself and cut off some of the Nexu’s claws. I rolled and sent a mind numbing effect to my three Nexu. One of the creatures looked at me with its eight-eyed face and tried to bite me. I sent fire out to burn that one and easily killed the other two with my lightsaber.

Naz was having trouble with his Nexu. They were quicker than him and were made for fighting. On some planets they were used like gladiators. I sent a bead of light towards one and attacked the other one with my lightsaber. The one who got the bead of light was distracted and allowed Naz to easily kill it.

The Falleens seemed to be searching for a way to unlock my house and the Rodians and Wookies were acting as guards. Great power seemed to be coming from the Falleens and I was a little frightened. If Naz and I got through the guards we would be hard pressed to beet the Falleens!

I sent out a warning to the guards and they became prepared. The Rodians attacked first with guns blasting. I deflected their shots back to them and they dodged them. One of the blasters hit Naz, but he went on to try and hit that one Rodian. The Rodian blocked Naz’s foot momentarily and dodged it. But Naz got the Rodian, in the end. I returned fire from the other Rodians who were now trying to use shields. They were okay at doing them, but they defiantly weren’t the best.
I turned their own shields against them and watched as they were burnt and then stopped because they weren’t able to move. I would get them to safety once the battle was over. The shot at Naz was by the neck and I worried that he would die.

The Wookies seemed to be smarter and this time tried to mind numb Naz and me. I protected myself fully from it and helped Naz with his protection. I started to fake like I had been mind numbed. They came in closer to us, but they still had their guard up.

Naz attacked first and I went for my own Wookie. My lightsaber was flashing as the Wookie tried to dodge it. Two Wookies pulled out lightsabers and went for me. I had practiced with the lightsaber very often. I had it connected to my being.
The two Wookies were also very adept at the lightsaber. We traded blows and I was even more impressed by them. They attacked in unison; I wouldn’t be surprised if they were a team. But, in the end, I defeated them. I can only say that my victory was due, in part, by Naz sending a lightning shock to them and running at them. This caused a distraction.

Naz and I turned towards the Falleens who had…I couldn’t believe it! My house was burning! I could smell the smoke! They were powerful. I wondered what would happen now. One of the seven walked to me and handed me a note that read:

Never all alone
Nothing from nature is this
Mind and matter here

“The being that you call a collection of minds is described here. We call ‘her’ Jash. Your house is now destroyed and the only way to get a new one is to find her.” One of the Falleen females said.

“I don’t like to be cornered.” I growled, my lekku moving angrily.

“Jash doesn’t want to capture you, but she will if she has to.” The Falleen looked into my eyes. “I can see your fear of the past. You make me your fear. Jash will be waiting for you.”

“Where?”

“You can find her if you search.” With this, they left.

Author’s Note: This was something different for me to write. I don’t really like to write action scenes, I prefer thinking scenes. I like to get into the character’s mind.
