Three more years passed, and shortly before her twelfth birthday, Cy went to formally ask Master Yoda permission to take Khlora Thaddeus as his Padawan Learner. When he’d knocked on the door to Yoda’s private chamber, a wizened voice had called out a single word.

“Yes.”

Taking it as permission to enter, Cy had pushed the button to open the door, and stepped over the threshold. Master Yoda was seated on a cushion on the floor. Cy had bowed respectfully and sat on the cushion opposite to the Grand Master.

“Master Yoda, I am here to request your permission to take Khlora-”

Yoda cut him off. “As your Padawan. My answer, I gave you while still outside you were. Yes, I said. About time, it is. See you both at tomorrow’s council meeting I will.

“Now go,” he said, poking at Cy with his gimer stick as he grinned toothily, “Find your Padawan, you should.”

Cy rose from the cushion. Yoda prodded harder at Cy’s boot with his stick.

“Go,” he repeated, cackling gleefully, “Wasted enough time you have already! Much to learn have you both!”

“Thank you Master,” Cy said, bowing once again. As he had exited the room, he could still hear Master Yoda laughing behind him.

Umbra: noun, the innermost and darkest part of shadow resulting from the total obstruction of light by a planetary body in eclipse.

Night has fallen on the Republic. Clones open fire, and Jedi die- but not all of them. And not all who live have a great purpose laid out for them as Obi-Wan did. For those who live, what is it to be a Jedi without the Republic?

This has been a labor of love of mine for the past decade, and I am excited to finally be posting it. Thematically, this is a story of overcoming trauma, found family, respect of Jedi culture, and everyone is queer. Set in the Legends + Clone Wars continuity.

Chapter 8:

Cy’s blade made quick work of the wall; the circular cut fell to the floor with a clang. He took in the scene before him. Khlora and five others were in cuffs. A male twi’lek was on the ground, dead. The wound that had clearly killed him smoked lazily, and one of Khlora’s companions stared down at it as her breath came in gasps. An Imperial officer stood over them all, looking surprisingly amused at the development of having an intruder cut through his wall.

“A Jedi! To what do we owe this pleasure?” the officer spoke, “My my, even after the extermination of your Order, you still manage to stick your hands into everyone else’s business.”

Since it shows up in the latest chapter, here is Cy’s lightsaber hilt that I designed on this site.

Chapter 7:

She remembered one of her first missions with Master Cy. A broken world with an ancient crumbling Jedi Temple, long abandoned. They found the holocron and other artifacts they had been sent to collect, as well as some delightful tiny dragons about the size of her Master’s forearm. Khlora felt the warmth of that sun on her skin, and the wind in her hair.

Cy had let her wander a little ways out of his sight on that mission, and she had promptly fallen through the unstable floor to a lower level of the ruins. He had rushed to her instantly, but seeing that she was not in immediate danger, he sat cross-legged on the stone above her and coached her through figuring out how to crawl back up by herself.

More art from the wonderful @ornery-kudu from waaaaaay back years ago when this fic was in the early stages of being plotted out written. Left to right we have Khlora, Bahar, and Darrion, and then two characters who didn’t make it into the final version of the fic.

New chapter with the gang has been posted today!

Since there were a lot of sad clone feelings in the last chapter, here is some happy clone art by @nevermindigotthis. Here is Khlora with her BFF among the clones, Tyro (the pyro). The fact that they’re arm wrestling rather than full contact roughhousing tells us that one or both of them is probably currently in trouble for being too rambunctious on a small spaceship.

Tyro’s tattoos are a nebula/galaxy design, and they cover/merge with some bad burn scarring he got from an explosives incident.

Night has fallen on the Republic. Clones open fire, and Jedi die- but not all of them. And not all who live have a great purpose laid out for them as Obi-Wan did. For some who live, the first priority is simply keeping their Padawan, or Master for that matter, alive. Determining what it means to be a Jedi in this new Empire will come after that.

This has been a labor of love of mine for the past decade, and I am excited to finally be posting it. Thematically, this is a story of overcoming trauma, found family, respect of Jedi culture, and everyone is queer. Set in the Legends + Clone Wars continuity.

Chapter 6:

Khlora could see that it was already too late. The skin on his chest was charred underneath the armor. He must have taken several shots from the many droidikas they had struggled to destroy.

Similar to my last post of Khlora being a handful- she always loved taking apart mechanical things to see how they worked. Eventually she learned how to put them back together too ha ha. That skill serves her well getting involved with things in Lani’s mechanics shop while hiding out after Order 66 in my fic Umbra.

Wonderful art by @papaya-nordica!

“There were blaster marks on the wall that she and Sarsché had once dented while roughhousing. Well- she had dented it, it was her horn.” 

@ornery-kudu drew this youngling Khlora for me yeaaaars ago, and with the passing reference to how much of a handful she was in the flashback in Chapter 5 of my fic I thought this was a good time to pull it out. :)

Chapter 5:

Khlora was back in her childhood creché, and the most conscious part of her mind knew that was a bad sign.

It was.

When she turned away from what had once been her bunk, there were two small bodies on the floor. Her stomach lurched. The two younglings��� bodies were charred unmistakably by blasterfire.

I went to queue up a post for the chapter I just posted and realized I never made a post for this chapter... r.i.p.

@starwarsumbra commissioned me to draw her Jedi OCs! Here we have Cy Artemis (he/him, brown hair) and Raen Lasaire (they/them, red hair) poking around in the room of a thousand fountains, doing a 3d puzzle together, and doing zappy lightsaber practice!

SERENITY FOR KHLORA

Art by Cristina Koenig (@ckkona_art on Twitter and Instagram)

Developed for the fanfic Umbra on AO3

This is one of my favorite drawings of Khlora! I got it at a convention years ago when I was just starting to commission art of Khlora and Cy and I absolutely love the pencil work.

She just looks so happy and peaceful. ❤

Update on when I’ll be updating

I put this fic on hiatus after posting Chapter 4 on June 1st due to real world events because the next chapter (Chapter 5) contains the Star Wars equivalent of police brutality. We’re headed in the direction as a country where I feel comfortable posting it soonish- but not tomorrow. Also with the state of everything, I have not been up for getting that chapter ready to post.

So, no new chapter tomorrow. I am aiming to either post Chapter 5 or a short interlude for one of the @jedijune (check out their event! It's super cool!) prompts towards the end of this week or early next week. Thanks for your patience.

Most likely to wave at someone who was not waving at them? Most likely to eat pizza with a knife and fork? Aaaaand most likely to listen to the same song multiple times in a row?

Ha ha, these are great! 

 It is a tie between Carson and Robble of who is most likely to wave at someone who was not waving at them, but whoever does do that will be teased mercilessly by the other. Those two act pretty much like twins.

Cy is most likely to eat pizza with a knife and fork. He doesn't like the feeling of grease on his hands. Dirt from the garden- that's totally fine, but not grease. 

Lysses is most likely to listen to the same song multiple times in a row when he's deep into slicing/coding something. It helps him concentrate.
