Stumbling to the wreck, Shakk looked from her own ship to that of the unidentified castaway. Brows dropping she wondered. -Shakk- "Respect" And she went over to the little hut. Stealing in she began. Shakk slaved for hours. The girl was tormented by many an unfortunate flaw. And She was blessed in many a way too. A phenomenal memory was high among these strong points. And using that unique attribute and placing great emphasis on detail she set the little dwelling exactly back as it had been when the three came. She then knelt and meditated. Alem sat up with a start. Slipping on pants and a shirt, then a pair of shoes she crept from the ship. Rushing over to the aged shelter she found Shakk -Alem- "C'mon." With that Alem turned and walked back to The Hand Maid Tail. Shakk followed

The two women edged close to the refuge but did not go in. With an upward nod Gid commented -Gid- "You cleaned it up." Shrugging - Shakk- "Tried to put things back where they were when...." Gid nodded. Setting the hearth pot down she then went down to her knees and gently fed the not coals some fresh wood chips, which burned up quickly. Her chant began, only this time Shakk joined in. Tossing a handful more in she then undid and unfolded the skin. Then cedar, then sweetgrass and sage went onto the coals. Lastly she threw tobacco into the mix. Shakk did as her sister did. Then both Shakk and Gid cleansed themselves in the smoke, which Gid then hurled to the four corners of space. All the time both women chanted. And there in that place they sat until the fire had almost died. Standing both the blue one spoke -Shakk- "Bye Survivor!" Many a time Gid was quite uncertain whether she wished to hug or hit her sister. Right now is a fine example. The pair backed slow away

And the invisible boundary was crossed. A sudden current of energy supreme tore up all four legs. Am I being picked up or brought crashing down? She wondered. Looking about she saw the same thing that anyone who came here did. A humble abode Humble abode. Most humble indeed. But a great man lived here. She thought long but moved short, if at all. Then yet another thought made her eyes widen in sheer terror; the cute little psychotic girl had clearly asked you to halt. You did not. Ergo she's about to shank me. Eyes rolling she shook that notion off and said -Epona- "Sorry babe but I had to see this...."

As Epona moved she said not a word. As they crossed into his domain she to felt the Force envelope her for a moment. Then hearing the centaur's words she answered -Shakk- "That's ok...." Slipping off the centuar she took Alem by the hand leading her around but giving the hovel a wide berth. And she spoke explaining -Shakk- "We're pretty sure - Well we know that he's Light. But his confessional practices are irrelevant; he existed." Looking up to meet Epona's face the Twi'leck smiled - Shakk- "Anybody sincere - anybody - should have freedom to visit." Drawing two blankets from the centaur's back -Shakk- "I'm tired." Tossing a blanket over Epona's shoulders, Shakk promptl y laying down spoke but two words -Shakk- "Codladh samh.... Then she slept the sleep of the dead

Eyes suddenly wide open Epona looked around herself. Where am I? Why am I so.... So? At peace? Odd she thought. She stood, which is not easy for a horse. Centaur either. Shakk was gone, so she could see.... No. There she was in front of a small fire. Strolling over -Epona- "Hi Shakk. This place.... Is...." The centuar faltered to isolate the appropriate word

-Shakk- "Peaceful?" The Twi'leck smiled. Brows dropping the girl struggled for words -Shakk- "It's weird." Right hand sweeping out wide -Shakk- "The whole place is absolutely stunning." Then turning her hand to the crude hutt "Here? Fuckin paradise!" Turning and looking up at Epona -Shakk- "We protect this place." Standing and folding her blanket the Twi'leck wondered. Head turning slight to the right - Shakk- "Epona honey...." Clearing phlegm caught in throat then turning -Shakk- "Still collect rocks? Like the Old man did." Turning she laid a stone on a large slab near the hutt -Shakk- "For The Survivor. What we call him you know? The one who lived here."

The centuar listened close. Her niece was a lunatic. That fact was common knowledge. Eyes shifting she looked at the Twi'leck. And the girl understood many a thing too. Reaching into a leather pouch at her side and frantically searching Epona pulled out a grey stone. A nice one at that; she had intended to turn it into an arrowhead. Shrugging then walking over to the slab she laid it down beside the other. As if caught in a trance she stared a long moment before pulling away. Then standing and turning to the Twi'leck -Epona- "Fire?"

Standing and watching Epona intensely Shakk did not notice her sisters come up from behind. The pair just stood silently watchin. At Epona's question Alem spoke up answering -Alem- "First thing that The Old man taught us - I think...." She had to wonder. Fire? Or was it killing? Shaking that off she continued observing But at the last words from the centuar Shakk's eyes lit up in terror. Turning and stomping the coals of her own little blaze out then pouring what was left in her pot on top she -Shakk- "Let's do it." And returning she began building a fire pit - and large lit at that - but a foot from the slab. Digging down about six inches she hit water. The pit was wide - at least two and a half feet on either side. The other two Twi'leck stepping forth too each laying down stones. Now one grey, one blue, one red and the last green On the pit they set brush of all kinds and Shakk going down to her knees began flicking going off stone. Working slow and smooth she had a small blaze going in no time Shakk, the other Twi'leck fed the fire until they had a flame near a foot high. As the fire burned down to coals each one stepping forward laying something on the not ashen bed. Firstly, Shakk walking by and tossing cedar onto the coals, then Gid sweetgrass. Following Alem pitching sage down then moving beside her sisters and waited

Lastly, stepping up to the now smoking embers, Epona stopping tossed a handful of tobacco on the anthracite at her hooves beneath. Fire threatened but subsided as dark clouds bellowed up From the ground. Looking down she stated -Epona- "We keep this sacred smudge going. Agreed?" Holding her position the centuar waited

The Twi'leck Three stood watching silently as Epona pair the last offering on the not coals. We as she spoke listening close to the centuar's words they answered without a drop of hesitation. It was Shakk beating all to the chase responding -Shakk- "Agreed!" Following but a heartbeat behind was Alem declaring solemnly -Alem- "Agreed." Lastly, Gid chin rising proudly have her word too - Gid- "Agreed." And adding the woman offered a question -Gid- "Now.... How do we protect this sight?" To that her burly green sister fast weighing in -Alem- "We kill anybody who dares to go near it." Scoldingly responding Gid answered -Gid- "Ate a bit too much peanut butter today eh?" Explaining Shakk spoke - Shakk- "We never block visitors with noble intent; if anything we should be inviting." Adding fast behind that - Shakk- "Any and all with bad intent? Well ...." Smiling the red Twi'leck answered -Gid- "Go raibh maith agat - thank you." The muscular woman added -Alem- "We kill them -right?" Both sisters chimed in -Shakk and Gid- "Yes Alem." Tossing two dry pieces of wood atop of the coals -Gid- "And we keep this pyre eternally going." Alem answered by tossing another timber in the pit then Shakk stepping in three a piece of green-wood into the mix

The towering centuar tossing another piece of green wood to the growing flame enthusiastically responded -Epona- "I can get behind that." Thinking for a moment - Epona- "And I pledge to keeping constant vigil over these sacred grounds and be sure of the fire remaining forever lit...."Some might say Epona was stupid as a sack of hair. And few of many would contest that transparent fact. But she was honorable and more than capable of backing up what she said. Looking around her -Epona- "Ta se go halainn anseo...." And indeed it was

And that was all that was needed; all three Twi'leck knew that Epona was good to her word. Alem did acknowledge the centuar, slightly bowing then saying -Alem- "Maith go leor." Gid too spoke -Gid- "Go raibh maith agat." Shakk, on the other hand, was already walking back into the swampland that was Dagobah pepper. Tossing another piece of green wood On sacred fire on her way past The two remaining Twi'leck too threw slabs of wood to the fire in passing. The flame laid down under the weight but was rising up again, slow but steady before they passed. Keep it. Keep it going, so Gid thought

*Yoda's hut was a dwelling made by Jedi Master Yoda during his self-imposed exile on Dagobah, starting from 19 BBY. The hut was simple, constructed of mud, but utilized his E3-standard starship lifeboat model escape pod energy source.* OoC: Clearly, a simple read of this and no human character, never mind a centuar, could do a whole lot in a mud hut, or any hut for that matter, build by a dwarf, with his dimensions in mind. Like fit in it but touch smaller frame. That noted, Epona, her horseshoes, everlasting flame and all That nonsense will be summarily moved to Dagobah Terrain proper. Go raibh maith agat

Crashing into the miniature space, Aogan struggled sitting up. Grabbing for dagger a sudden realization struck the man; it was not windy in this horrible little.... Looking around Aogan came to the realization -Aogan- "Ingenious really...." And there was Torna. Looking around the space the pair both spoke at once -Torna and Aogan- "Sweet!"
