The Books of Oyja II: Jash
Chapter 13 Succession

Red met blue and their cries sounded throughout the entire room. Death would befall whichever one of us faltered. I would not fall to such an abomination. Again and again we put our lightsabers together. I would defeat Master Tenju, I would do it for Jash!

Master traded blows and tried to push me up against a wall, meaning that I couldn’t escape. I flipped over him and nearly got whacked by his tail as he swung it towards me. He came again at me with his lightsaber, the red glow reflecting his anger and hate; reflecting his past in one simple glow. I blocked it with my blue lightsaber that reflected all the pain I had gone through; all the trials I had passed.

We then put our fight near the center of the room; I could feel a great power, I must not let Master use it! I searched to make sure Master wasn’t using any of the great power. Then I felt his mind touch the great power. I tried to block his mind from making a further move, but it was near impossible! Again and again I tried to block and Master laughed. I was only a gnat to him.

I ran at him with my lightsaber and he put a psychic wall in front of me that I nearly ran into. I felt sweat run down my skin like rain. I was not going to let my fear overrule me; I’m too experienced for that. I ‘tickled’ his mind and distracted him. I then sliced at him with my lightsaber but he blocked me. Screaming in rage he went for me with his lightsaber and mind.

Blocking them both was a very tiring task. I breathed in as I blocked attack after attack. Time seemed to go on without me. Tas be damned! Finally Master and I were at opposite ends of the room. We looked at each other.

“So, the new Oyja?” Master Tenju asked. “A very good fighter. Yes, a very good one. Why give up the life of a Tenju? You would be welcomed here. Why try to fight your greatness?”

“I don’t think much of you.” I replied. “You stole the seat from the rightful Master Tenju. You are nothing but a fraud!” I ran at him.

Starting off again we fought and fought hard. “If I’m a fraud why haven’t you beaten me yet?” Master asked. “And why do you keep on thinking of me as Master?” He had read my mind! That was impossible; I hadn’t felt him! I wanted to kill him even more. Wait! Anger would only feed him and weaken me. But I couldn’t help it! “Or are you the one pretending to be a warrior?”

I showed Master some Vaapad moves and he backed down a little. I pressed for my advantage but was thrown back by the floor! The floor was living! It happened sometimes; an owner would allow some parts of a building to have intelligence. I quickly spoke to the floor, hardening it. The floor might attack again but it would take a while.

“Ah, you do have strong powers of suggestion, I will admit to that.” Master Tenju said. “But why do you want to kill me? You realize if you kill me billions of beings will die. I wouldn’t think you the one for murder.”

“If I have someone to replace your power I think the death toll will go down!” I yelled at Master Tenju. Focusing on my lightsaber blade, I made it shoot out and go straight at Master. He blocked it but I got some time to go after him. He blocked more of my attacks.

Suddenly he made papers fly around the room so much that I could hardly see anything! I sliced the stinger off. There was a yelp of pain and I pressed my attack. Cursing, Master came at me and surprised me.

“Oyja, you are a Tenju inside. You keep thinking I am Master Tenju. You have not thought of me as Doltan even once!” Master replied. “You aren’t attacking me as you should. I cannot read your mind but I feel the word ‘Master’ echoing in there.”

“I don’t think of you as Master…Doltan!” I screamed.

“I notice the pause. It really gives you away. Really. Why. Do. You. Even. BOTHER!” Doltan attacked me but I could feel a dark energy trying to get away from him. If only I could get The Dark Lord of the Night away from Doltan!

The Dark Lord of the Night was cold and hard. Doltan did have some talent, though. I would have to convince The Dark Lord of the Night to start rebelling against Doltan. Sending a message to The Dark Lord of the Night I heard Doltan laugh loudly. I sensed a struggle and Doltan started to yelp in pain and fury.

I then attacked Doltan while he was distracted and I was nearly blown away by the inner battle. I then focused my mind with The Dark Lord of the Night’s. Doltan then slammed into the furthest wall and seemed to be knocked out.

I bowed to The Dark of the Night, who now had a gigantic black wolf body. He didn’t look at me kindly. I AM GLAD THAT YOU FREED ME BUT YOU DIDN’T DO IT FOR ME! YOU DIDN’T DO IT FOR THE HIST! FOR THAT I WILL LET THE HIST WORK ON YOU!

There were two soft thumps; then Jash and Asav appeared. The Dark Lord of the Night looked at Jash and bowed. IF YOU FREED ME FOR HER, YOU ARE WISE. BUT SHE WILL NOT LAST! I RESPECT YOU, JASH, BUT YOU WON’T ALWAYS BE OYJA’S PROTECTOR!

“I know that and I believe Oyja will be able to protect itself. I won’t always be needed.” Jash replied and I felt a wave of sadness. I didn’t want Jash to leave, though I knew things come and go in life. Even when you know all the answers, the test is still hard.

The Dark Lord of the Night grabbed Doltan and went away. I yelled and cursed where Doltan had lain. Asav laid a hand on me. Don’t worry, Oyja, Doltan will be destroyed. He said.

“I know, but we were so close! Why did The Dark Lord of the Night take Doltan away? It wasn’t to spite me, I know that.” I said.

“It was so Doltan could wreck even more havoc. I don’t like it but…you will help in Doltan’s downfall.” Jash replied.

“I want him dead now!” I yelled.

“Patience. You must always have patience. There will come a time when Doltan will fall but just hold on now.”

Breathing in deep and finding my center of calm I relaxed. Jash was right; there were problems we had to face here and now. Don’t mind the future. Asav walked over and started to look through the papers. “What are you looking for, Asav?” I asked.

Asav looked at me with one of his stalk eyes and replied, Asav held out twenty pieces of paper.

I knew that asking Asav anything else about it would get me nowhere. Asav looked some more and came up without anymore papers. He sighed. Then he left.

Author’s Note: This I will call the impossible chapter because it took so long to write! There were problems with getting it done! While I was writing this chapter I finalized what’s going to happen to Oyja and the next series I’m writing!
