The Books of Oyja III: Leik and leiksChapter 3 Pushed
The being grinned evilly, showing us teeth that looked like fangs.
“You are too sure of yourselves, beings of the foolish light.” The creature said. “Witness the might of Shadow, heir to the Dark Lord of the Night’s throne!”
“The Dark Lord of the Night will not let you inherit it!” Jash replied. “He is a jealous master.”
“Do not speak unkindly of him!” Shadow yelled. “He has now another reason to not give you any rest! No rest for your soul and pathetic body!”
“Your lord is no friend of mine!” I yelled. “I help free him and then I get damned! Your master is nothing that I want!”
Shadow raised both of his hands to the ceiling. “Then I feel no regret in doing this.” Suddenly the leiks started to shake. Jash and I got unbalanced. We started to fall close to the walls. But regained balance at the last moment. “It is useless to try and go against me. I am more powerful than both of you.”
“I don’t doubt that, but we’re better!” I yelled.
“Fool of the light, try not to hide from the truth! For it will find you in the end!” He yelled. “And, with it, will come forth eternal pain from the real masters of the universes!”
I shot, out of my hand, orange lightning that bounced off a Force shield Shadow had made. It came at me and I barely dodged it. A loud noise vibrated in my mind and I let out a moan. I had come too close to the walls. Jash took my hand and sent a wave of gentleness to my mind, a presence that cooled the fire within.
“How wonderful.” Shadow sneered. “The two lovers holding hands and trying to push away sweet reality.”
“No, we aren’t.” Jash said. “We are gathering strength! A strength you have forgotten!” With that she started singing a song. A song that sounded like it was sung by angels. And, at the same time, a hint of darkness.
That was what Shadow was missing, the connection of light and dark. That was a connection everyone needed to know, if they were to gather up strength. I drew power from Jash’s song and had it connect to my innermost being. It resounded in the vessel of my mind. It leapt out of my mouth as I sung it also.
“Stop!” Shadow yelled. “Stop! My newly freed master shall destroy you! Die, light scum!” He then tried to push us out again.
I felt fire burn at my back and also ice. Lava boiled in my blood and balm healed the wounds that were caused. I felt images flash through my mind. Vivid details of murder coming over and over again in my mind. I moaned in pain. Jash tried to calm me. But I couldn’t be calmed. I felt something more coming in.
Kino was standing on the acklay and jumped at me. She turned into Kuhn who held up a knife to my head. Suddenly I was in a metal chair and Kuhn was now a wookie. The wookie started to cut into my forehead and I screamed. I shook. I cried. The blood from my forehead now filled up the room and I was drowning.
Suddenly I was free and gasping, I found myself floating in mist. Was this another dream? I saw Jash holding my hand and she seemed real enough. I tried to see where we were but couldn’t. “It’s okay.” Jash said. “Trust in Tas and you’ll see what you need to.”
I nodded and I saw a blurry leik. The false wind ripped at my face. I concentrated and aimed my attention at one of the leiks. I pointed to one and Jash nodded. We went to that one. My mind shook as did everything, or maybe it was my mind also. I was in such a state I couldn’t tell.
Kuhn was there again with his black hair waving in the false winds. He held a baby Fosh to me that had a streak of black running from the center of its forehead to the back of its neck. He smiled at me and then the Fosh grew bigger and attacked me. It seemed to radiate anger of betrayal towards me. I screamed as I was hurt. focus, Oyja. focus not on visions but on what is now.
yes. I agreed and focused not on the visions but on the leik. But, as soon as I tried to get to it, it started to break up. Jash used her power to do what she could but, even she couldn’t save us. The leik blew up in our faces.
Pieces of the leik cut into us. It was the most horrible experiences. I was being showered with other people’s memories and feelings. I felt someone riding on a roller coaster, feeling such joy it was overwhelming. It was her birthday and she was having a great time.
I also felt a thief grinning at his latest snatch, a necklace from a wealthy resident of a village. Therewas so much evil in that being’s head, but less so than Shadow’s. I think that Shadow must be an evil no mortal can compare to. The heir of darkness must be something more than mortals will ever see. Tas bless their souls.
Jash and I finally found solid footing though we were dizzy and confused. I grinned at her, or at least tried to. She shook her head and we both stood very still. I felt the ground moving around us and a hole formed. I looked at her and we both jumped in, as the winds would rip us apart otherwise.
Images ripped through our heads. Images of a hatred that would flame into darkness. The darkness of what would become Darth Vader. So Anakin was nearby and I could sense Padme. Obi-Wan Kenobi was also nearby. He was one I had liked reading about, such a great power was within him. And also a very stupid mistake. I wanted to get to him to warn him what Anakin would become.
Suddenly the Genosian sun was upon us. Obi-Wan, Padme, Anakin, other Jedi, and Super Battle Droids were there. One hundred brave Jedi had come to free Obi-Wan. I took out my lightsaber as did Jash. Our objective was to come out alive.
Author’s Note: I hope I painted some of the beauty of the leiks. They are very important but don’t appear as much as I’d like.
