8 Fate Aligned

I rolled on the ground to dodge a swipe of its scythe-like limb and swipe my tomahawk on its leg making it groan before I immediately dash forward once again.

It's been a few minutes now that I'm doing this hit-and-run with this bastard, it surely has a lot of scars on its limbs, especially the area of the joints since I deliberately aim for it, and I can see it starting to take effect on its movement.

As I stood there looking at this bastard after throwing my throwing knife at it aiming at the scar that I have given to it, waiting for it to do what I want it to do.

And sure enough, it immediately turns around and raises its giant left hand to slam at me, I immediately run backward before doing a backflip to make enough distance far enough to not get hit, but close enough to do what I'm planning as I immediately dash forward to climb its hand as its use it to hit me.

I use my last throwing knife as an extra grip as I stab its arm and jump while swinging my Tomahawk at its shoulder to help me climb faster as its hand slams at the position where I'm previously as it roars in pain. I don't know if it is because of my tomahawk or because it hit the knife and make it deeper, doesn't matter to me.

I have got my objective, the spear. You may wondering why this bastard didn't pull it out because I didn't let it, the moment it try anything I immediately attack it again and again

I grab my spear with my left hand and pulled it out making it stand up because of the pain while I use the back of my tomahawk to make extra damage to it while sliding down.

'Pity, I was aiming to stab your stupid bald head… No matter' as soon I came down I immediately stab its leg joint with my spear. 

But my instinct immediately screams at me.

I immediately jump backward while using my arms to guard my chest and head as I fly backward before sliding on my back.

"Ugghh… Fuck… Did that bastard just bitchslap me…" I groaned on the ground as my hand felt numb.

But luckily, I did enough damage and stalled time long enough for it to take effect.

"hahaha… What's wrong? You start swaying there… Feel a little dizzy?" I chuckle as I slowly stand up.

Sure enough, that thing looking at me while shaking its head and swaying left and right 

"You know, I'm grateful… After all, if it isn't because of you, I wouldn't be what I am today… And surely I wouldn't fall into that lake" I said while panting, I crouch down to take my tomahawk.

"You hit hard by the way" I turn around to look at something behind on the ground.

"And because of that lake, make all of this possible… How is that Kelbi taste by the way? I give it some spice for you" there 2 ropes attached to a piece of metal to the ground and run right to the bush, I'm honestly surprised one of them hasn't snapped yet with how much tension it has.

"I give it a healthy dose of what I called sleep herbs mixed with some narcoberry, I also coated it on those knives too… But I also coated my knives with oil of poisonous berries that are a pain in the ass to create" I put my leg on one of the metal rods, and I can feel that thing starting to regain its bearing as it roared and run toward me.

"and the funny thing about that particular berry, after you process it and squeeze the oil out not only is it extremely toxic but also-" I slam the metal rod making it pulled from the ground as the bastard is right behind me and immediately two sharp logs the size of adult arm shot up from between the bushes stabbing it on its left shoulder and right chest making it stop its charge.

"it is also flammable" I kick the last rod and immediately run as fast as I could toward the forest as something swing down from above me.

A big metal constructs the size of an adult chest that consists of two metal boxes, one long with a hole right in the middle with something sharp slightly pointing out and the other one shorter connected with a hinge with a small gap between them connected to a wood that connected to a branch of a tree with ropes.

I immediately jumped to take cover behind a tree and lay down as the construct hit the bastard right on the chest, making the two box to snap between each other as the sharp object slightly pushed back hard enough to make the object inside the shorter box make a spark and burn everything inside it, fire lightened up so suddenly without a way out making it explode inside and create a shock wave to shot up the sharp object like a bullet piercing through its chest and straight deep into a tree trunk while shattered the construct into pieces that flying everywhere.

After hearing the sound of the explosion and a loud thud, I slowly came out from where I taking cover to take a look.

The bushes around it were just outright gone with the surrounding tree having pieces of metal on them, slowly I walk toward the bastard that hunt me down three years ago as it lay down on its pool of blackish blood.

There is a big hole right on its chest and some metal scraps piercing its body and a metal plate right on its lower jaw, after looking at it for a few seconds I walk past it to take my spear that laying on the ground before I walk back to its body 

"Payback motherfucker" I stab its head with my spear right to the brain and twist it around inside before pulling it out and taking a deep breath. It's finally over.

The wind starts blowing, making everything start swaying as leaves fall and the breeze hit me making me feel the cold sensation on my scalp.

I stood there silently listening as the wind blew.

As the voices start sounding once more, whispered in my ears. Slowly I look at the sky 

"Something is coming" I look at the blue sky for a few seconds before I pulled my hoodie to cover my head and walk deeper into the forest.

It looks like the hunt isn't over yet.

"Thank you, big sister!" I smiled as I crouch down to pat the little Twi'lek on her head trying not to touch her leku since I know it's sensitive when they are young.

"Ma'am thank you so much for helping us, really thank you *sob*" an adult blue Twi'lek said while she is sobbing bowing down while holding the little girl's shoulder.

Not just her, but currently I'm surrounded by a lot of adults and younglings from all kinds of races, when they heard the woman Twi'lek they sound their agreement and start bowing down toward me.

"Please, it is my duty to help while the Force may guide me here, it is my duty as a Jedi to help those who suffer" I said while smiling at them, I can see a male human with scars running from his brow to his lip walk toward me slowly

"My lady, thank you very much for helping us, forgive me for saying this but we already lost hope to gain any help, not from the Republic or the Jedi Order… But I guess some Jedi do care about us" the man said, hearing this I can only smile sadly since I have been wandering around the Galaxy and so I heard the same opinions from a lot of planets, especially those from Outer Rim

"But alas I'm not here to have,

a debate about that, I'm here to invite you, my lady to have dinner with us among the soldiers and the free folks" the man says while smiling, and the surrounding people start getting excited while inviting her to eat with them 

"Forgive me but I can't, for the force is guiding me toward another calling" even now I can feel the force whispered to me, guiding me toward my main destination.

The children can only groan while I can only smile at them and giggle at their behavior 

"then at least, let us give you some rations for your journey"

—-----

It has been a few centuries now since I gain my mastery.

Although I have become a Jedi Master, I didn't take a Padawan since I know it is not my calling for the Force whispered to me, guiding me toward something more.

At first, the Force guided me toward where conflict will happen, where the people struggled and oppressed. For years I go from planet to planet fulfilling my duty as best as I could, and yet I can feel the Force telling me that it's not time yet, that soon the Force will guide me toward the destination it willed it to be.

So years after years I keep waiting, until suddenly 3 years ago the Force actively whispered to me, guiding where me toward where it wanted me to be deeper and deeper into the Outer Rim and nearer to the Unknown Region.

Even now I can feel it, that my destination is close and sure enough I can see it, a beautiful planet that I remember very well before I become a Jedi Master.

A tragedy where because of miss information, because of fear, and greed, a whole planet was razed to the ground.

I wonder why the Force guided me here, but soon I will find the answer.

"I am one with the Force, the Force is with me"
