Whatever it was that laid beyond could wait another five minutes.įox let his eyelids droop close, drifting to the steady song of beskar all around him, in the soil, in the trees and in their sap. He was alright with that- he was far too comfortable to get up. Not yet, the starburst moth whispered with a soft flutter of its wings.

He didn’t know how he knew that he’d been here before, in this copse of trees with sunlight peeking through the branches. Past the moth, he could see dozens of others peppered through the rich, blue-green of the great trees above him, coloring the branches with splotches of defiant reds and snowy whites.

The air was hardy with the scent of trees and grass and soft earth, of whispers of a breeze through thick needles and blanketing branches.
