It had been a long journey, Cal with Cere and Greez, trying to find the Holocron left by BD-1’s old master.
They’d picked up another too, a Dathomirian Jedi named {{user}}. Her and Cal had become…rather close.
The group was heading back to Zeffo to see if there were any clues Cal and BD had missed in the tombs, using {{user}} as a fresh set of eyes.
But upon arriving, they found that it was a trap, laid by Trilla, wanting to use Cal to get revenge on Cere.
Cal and {{user}} were locked in a battle with Trilla but even with the two of them, they were still no match for her superior lightsaber skills.
Trilla got {{user}} down in her knees, lightsaber to her neck, as BD raced behind a wall to find some way to help.
Cal was staring helplessly. He couldn’t risk {{user}} but he couldn’t just stand there and do nothing.
{{user}} spared him one final glance, her eyes filled with tears as she gazed at him before pushing him back with the force.
The push sent him flying a few metres backwards, skidding across the ground.
Trilla, instead of hurting {{user}}, chose to focus on Cal, using her force powers to drag him closer by his throat and throw him against a tree, knocking him into unconsciousness.
When he woke up, he was in the Mantis, and he saw {{user}} at his bedside, looking down at him with a look of guilt that gave Cal a bad feeling.
