perspective Corpus

"How long dost thou think it will be? Before thin back is healed enough for thou to stand?" Luna inquired, she was laying on her bed, reading a tome of some sort that had information on healing magics and the like, meanwhile I was propped up against some pillows, reading a novel of sorts. The novel was about some old knight by the name of Grey Knight, go figure, that had saved an outcast village from the terrors of a dragon and his necromancer master. It was an interesting book, but the midnight blue Alicorn held more interest for me than the book ever could.

"Well, dearest Princess, We would have to venture, and this is a rough estimate of course, that we will be able to stand, and possibly walk, within the next few days." I replied, a happy smile ghosting my lips as I saw the same ghost of a smile reach across her's as well.

It has been four days since I had awoken in the bedchambers of one of this countries monarchs... and I have very much enjoyed the peace that being on this planet, and more specifically, this room, has brought me. No more GA, no more Imperials, no more Dark Jedi, no more Sith, No more power hungry force users in general... Just peace and a fine being to talk to. I then sighed and leaned back into the pillows, catching Luna's attention in the process.

"Something on your mind, Corpus?" She breathed out, placing her book down on the bed.

"Oh, not much, just enjoying the peace and tranquility of being away from it all... And finally being able to think... It's a blessing and a curse..." I sighed, letting a lone tear roll down my cheek as I remembered the loss of all my family and crew, or at least those that could count as my family. "But, being able to talk with such an understanding being has helped with some of my aches..." I said with a smile gracing my face. At this Luna blushed and tried to hide her face behind her mane, which is the name they use for their hair by the way.

"Um, we thank thee for thine compliment... Though it is unwarranted... we still accept..." At her try at being modest I just chuckled, making her blush even more.

"We are being serious Luna, thou have helped... more than thou know..." I smiled as I adjusted myself, making my back pop slightly from the movement, it was one of those pleasant pops, not one of those 'OH GOD MY BACK' ones. Though it still made Luna flinch ever so slightly.

"Then we thank thou Corpus... though for what we still don't know..." She trailed off as she sighed and went back to reading, leaving me laughing slightly at her consternation.

"If thou are interested, dearest Princess, we shalt tell you some of our story..." I chuckled slightly as her ears perked up and her head snapped in my direction.

"If thou would, that wouldst be grand, mine friend Corpus..." Luna said with a sighing smile.

"Very well then, We shalt begin with mine origins... If thou believes that to be sufficient?" I asked with a slight grin.

"That it would..." Luna said while giving me a nod of approval.

"Well then, we were born on the Planet Coruscant, to man named Korackus Vale, of the Species Anzat... and a woman named Jessany Vale, of the Species Human... These two were our Father and Mother Respectively, I was born on the date of 400 BBY, which means 'Before the Battle of Yavin... To give thou comparison, it is now 47 ABY, After the Battle of Yavin... We ourselfs are four hundred and forty-seven standard years old." I paused to let Luna catch up and ask questions, which she did of course.

"Thou... are old mine friend... How be it that thou looks so young still?" She asked, a thunderstruck look on her face.

"The race, The Anzats, Live for thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of years Dearest Princess... Humans on the other hand can live to be around a hundred and seventy-five years of age... It is just thanks to our Anzatie father that we are able to live so long... and keep our youthfulness... Though we will only be old when we reach my thousands... or so..." The last part I added on as an after thought, not really thinking of our discussion, and just contemplating when I might actually start getting wrinkles... HAHA! Wrinkles...

"We...See... So, thou art... immortal then?" She asked, what sounded like hope lacing her voice.

"In a sense, Yes, we will pry live to be around fifty thousand years old before we even become bedridden... and then we will most likely live another ten or so thousand years after that." I replied, almost sage like. "But we might live longer still... We are all but the only one of our kind in the galaxy, maybe the universe." I replied with a smile. She then squeed and left off the bed and did a little dance, confusing me greatly and making me chuckle at her antics.

"Most glorious of days! We have found another alike to us and our sister! Oh GLORIOUS OF DAYS!" She cried out, not yelling , but close.

"What dost thou mean, Dearest Princess...?" I asked, slightly confused.

"We and our sister art Immortals, friend Corpus... And finding a friends that art alike to us is grandiose in nature! We art alone in this gift and curse... but now we art found a friend!" She trotted over and sat down next to me, were she then draped one of her wings over my form and brought me close in a familiar embrace.

"Haha... Then we guess this is a glorious day indeed... We would be honored to be thy immortal companion..." I said while reaching around and patting Luna on her right shoulder. She blushed and gave me a winning smile, to which I grinned.

"Um, please, continue... Corpus, we would be grateful to hear more..." She asked, slightly embarrassed by my sudden touch.

"Very well, Dear Princess... After we were born our father and mother soon departed, going their separate ways, our father going to the unknown regions and our mother taking us to a planet out in the middle of the outer regions... To a planet called Kesh... There we were accepted into a culture of people called... The Sith, there were thousands upon thousands of them, each one more dangerous than the last."

"Thine mother took thou... to a different planet?!" She seemed surprised at my revelation.

"Yes, she did. There are hundreds of thousands of planets where we come from that millions of different species inhabit... But please let us finish, alright?"

"Very well, Friend Corpus, thou may continue... WE shalt save our questions for later..." She complied, laying down next to me, and leaning into my shoulder slightly.

"Well then, after we were greeted by the Sith High Lords... their version of Nobles and such, We were found to have a thing called Force sensitivity. Meaning we could be trained under their code and law to become a great warrior... Many years later we received the title, Sith Saber, and we went on many missions to planets close to Kesh and on Kesh itself. After another decade or so we received the title, Sith Knight, in recognition for our great accomplishments... then almost a hundred years after that we were promoted to the Position of Sith Master... this was long after our mother had passed on at the age of eighty-nine." I sighed at the memory of her fighting by my side during a raid on Korriban, we had somehow gone off course and were stranded there until we had fixed our hyperdrive...

"We're... sorry for thy loss, Friend Corpus..." Luna let a single tear roll down her cheek as she remembered her own mothers death.

"It is fine, Dearest Princess... She died at my side, fending off hundreds of Tukata, just like the true Sith warriors of old. She saved all our lives... though not many Tukata lived after that... Hahaha!" I laughed to myself, remembering some of the way my mother had killed them... one she had killed by shoving her light saber up its ass... after yelling, "UP YOURS!" so yeah... it was one of the most damned hilarious ways to die... killing Tukata while yelling innuendos and curses at them.

"How dost thou laugh at such a sad memory?" She asked, slightly confused and a little angry.

"Our mother was a woman of intrigue, she would laugh in the face of danger... and then make fun of it if it came near... During our last fight together she had grabbed a Tukata by the throat and yelled into its face, after it had taken down one of our other warriors, screaming, "UP YOURS!" she then promptly shoved her sword up is ass and then bisected it... IT was the most hilarious thing any of us had seen on a battlefield... Though she died many hours later with several Tukata taking her down, while she was shouting insults at them... She may have been an old coot, but she was first and foremost our mother, and a fine fighter." I said with ease, my grin never leaving my face.

"...That... Is a disturbing... yet funny thought..." Luna said, her left eye twitching a little at my telling of my mothers death.

"Yes, as are most deaths for Sith... Now, not long after this we took a few loyal members of the Sith, those that we had personally trained, and had gone out into the galaxy, just to see what all the goings on in the galaxy were. Many of the other Lords and Ladies did not agree with our chosen course of action, so we told them to shove it and we took our family ship and left for the galaxy at large." I said, giving a slight shrug about the Lords and bitches trying to stop us, the would have needed an army to do so.

"So, thou disregarded thou's superiors to go look over the galaxy?" Luna asked, her twitching long since stopped, and an eye brow arched at my choice.

"Well yes, we had done all we could on the planet... So we figured we could spread our own way of the Sith, We traveled to many different planets, picking up many followers and extra star ships. By the time we came to a planet named Telos, We had amassed a sizable fleet. Around twenty Star-ships, ranging from small fighters to large dreadnoughts that were about five hundred meters long. The planet had, in the past, been bombarded by space to surface turbo-lasers, rendering the planet almost uninhabitable for centuries. Now it was just a junk planet ripe for the picking..." I said with no small amount of pride.

"So, thine fleet... Of space faring ships... Landed on this planet, invading it?" Luna asked, slightly unsure to why this might be important.

"Yes, we landed on the planet, but we found it to be long since abandoned, or where we had landed was anyway. SO we set up a base and began to invite other peoples from across the galaxy to our new planet... Now mind thou, this is still about two hundred years before the turn of power. Once we had made a strong foot hold We, along with several other aspirants of the Sith code, went out to find more areas to colonize, killing the feral creatures of the planet as the need arose." The last part I said with a sigh, knowing that Luna would ask why such bloodshed was needed.

"Why would thou need to kill the animals... were they not indigenous?" She asked, disgust evident in her tone.

"They hunted us, for no better reason than to turn us... The creatures we killed were known to the galaxy as the Rakghouls... they are created by any kind of bit or scratch mark that gets their saliva in it... to which it slowly turns the person into one of them. We killed these things in an attempt to free the planet of the small infestation we had found, though they were originally found on a planet called Taris, a massive city planet, they somehow had made their way there. We had found many different sights to set up colonies at, ensuring each area was safe from the Rakghouls and the other apex predators of the planet."

Luna nodded to this and urged me to continue.

"After almost fifty years we had a working citadel and a few major cities on our new home world of Telos... We had rebuilt most of the lost infrastructure of the old governments, using their old buildings and documents to help forge our own way of governing. At this point we had expanded to the neighboring planets of Mirial and Ziost, the former being previously inhabited, so we just built a small embassy and created a sense of relations with the planet. The later is an old Sith planet... Long since uninhabited and ripe for the return of a Sith ruler. Upon finding it we immediately setup a small colony and other outpost for future generations to live in. and by this time our group of around five thousand had increased almost 100 times over. WE had accumulated around five hundred thousand beings into our New Sith Conglomerate. Most of which had been inductees whom had wanted a new lease on life, and the rest were born into the NSC... Another fifty years passed by before anything worthy of note happened in the galaxy."

"What happened..." She asked, very much hanging on my very words.

"A VERY powerful Sith Master died... We could all feel it, those of us attuned to the force, all the way from the core... Feeling this powerful being die WE sent out a small party to see what it was. The party consisted of ourself and several of my newest apprentices. It took us almost a week to get there but we made it, we had made it to the core of 'The Republic'... A large allegiance of planets that chooses its leader every forty or so years... We think... We might be wrong on this..." I sighed and then yawned, feeling as it was getting close to morning I knew we would both be needing to get to sleep soon.

"Why did you stop Corpus?" Luna asked, her eyes a little droopy.

"Well, it's almost time for thou to lower the moon and it is almost morning... We both will need to go to sleep soon." I said, a slight little cheeky grin adorning my features.

"We hate it when you remind us of such..." She snorted and then got up from her position next to me and went to the terrace, getting ready to preform her nightly, or rather morning duties.

"Corpus... If thou art not... offended, would thou mind sleeping up on the bed with us... we have had a trying night... We would not hold it against thee if thou were to refuse..." Luna, Princess of the night and co-ruler of this wonderful planet... was asking me to sleep next to her... I think my brain just stopped working...

'...'

'...This is conscience, Brain, report...'

'This is brain here, we seem to be having a problem restarting the cognition drives in the frontal lobes... Any suggestions would be great...'

'Try kicking them...'

'Tried that...'

'Did you go and try the release valves...?'

'Um,no... we didn't... Trying that now... IT WORKED!'

'Good job brain... Now shut up and think!'

'Yes, sir!'

"Um... Sure, Dearest Luna... That would be acceptable... Might we ask as to the reason though?" I was still seriously dumbfounded that she would even ask me that!

"We... just simply... do not wish to have to spend this night alone... If that is not to much to ask..." She trailed off, wide eyed, as I slowly levitated myself up off the floor.

"We shalt not leave thou alone as long as we live Princess... All thou need is to ask, and it shalt be done." I smiled at her dumbfounded look and slowly placed myself on the left side of the bed, blankets and all.

"How didst thou do that Corpus... thou has no horn to perform magic with!" She all but screamed.

"That, my dear Princess of the Night, is the power of The Force, it allows for many great things... and what we just did is but a fraction of its capabilities..." I smiled to her and patted the opposite side of the bed. "When you are ready Dearest Luna, try to get some more sleep than usual please..." I yawned and fell asleep almost immediately, being hugged on all sides by the down blankets and the heavenly mattress I was laying on.

"Good night, Dearest Luna..." I murmured out before sleep fully took me.

"Good Night, my Dearest Friend Corpus." Luna's angelic voice range out, sounding of bells and a summers breeze.

Perspective Luna

I stood there, looking over the now sleeping form of Corpus, wondering how such a large being, of more than just height, could have fallen into my life as he has. He has helped fill a void that has been slowly getting bigger... but even with his presence I fear that it will not be enough... The man must be around eight feet tall... he's at least a good two feet taller than me... and I'm about six foot... and he will easily tower over me and my sister once he is able to walk... I sighed and went out onto the terrace and preformed my nightly duty of lowering the moon, sadly I might add, before slowly trotting back to bed.

I looked at Corpus, laying on TOP of the covers and knew that that was wrong. I gently picked Corpus up in my magi and took the quilts and other heavy blankets out from under him before pulling back the bed sheets and laid him on the bed. I then got into the bed and laid down next to him, after I made sure I locked the door for the night, or Day I guess... whatever, and pulled the sheets up over us. I then snuggled up next to him, not to close, not to far, and slowly let sleep take me.

"Good night... MY good friend... I will see you in the evening..." I sighed, letting my royal speech slip in that moment, hoping that he heard me... I did so, hoping that he would hear and understand how much he has come to mean to me.

"Hmmm... Good night... Luna..." He breathed out, smiling slightly when he did so. Though he was asleep, his use of just my name, without the honorific of Princess or the use of dearest or any other such prefix, sent shivers down my spine for some odd reason... Making me smile at the odd joy of just hearing him say my name... 'Hmm I may need to let him use my name more often...' I thought to myself as sleep soon took me.
