Lost in Transition...(Open)

[Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir]

Desert Prince Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir entered the Jedi establishment. He was dressed in desert attire, black flowing robes and dark pants.

Strange tatooed markings ran across his tanned forehead and his cheeks. It was the marks of a prince of the Onobie Clan of Sha'Karr. His clan, his family...now all dead or taken as slaves, by the Mul'De'Nir, an elite band of warriors who had been trying to kill off every member of House Khalil-Na'Mir.

Saadya had been ready to die, beside his brothers and his father, until his father King Ben Ami' ordered him to leave Sha'Karr to carry on the Khalil-Na'Mir name.

The deadly raid had been Khalil-Na'Mir's last stand, it nearly killed the Prince to watch his traveling kingdom burn and hear the screams of his people...his people as he was drug away by the four Royal Guardians. Who vowed to carry out their king's last request, to get the Prince to safety.

Saadya didn't want safety, he didn't want to be the only Royal heir to a throne that had parished with his family.

He merely wanted his family. But, all was lost and he was here on this god-forsaken city planet for god knew how long.

"Are you sure you want to come here, Sire?" Hagar the lead Guardian asked as they entered.

"Yes, and I would appreciate it if you would make yourselves scarce. I'll never met anyone with four guardians hanging over my shoulder." He grumbled as he handed over his array of weapons to the guards at the door.

His Guardians did the same as Saadya entered the establishment. A few people took notice to the desert Prince's strange attire and markings on his face, then turned back to their drinks.

With a meager sigh, Saadya made his way to a booth and ordered a brandy. If nothing else coudl warm him, the brandy definitely would.

[Ridge (Towers) Kincaid]

It was good to be back amongst those of Coruscant, it was the first night since their return and Ridge Towers called his fiancee to meet him in the B & G for a light dinner.

Not many were here at this time, but the evening was still young as he entered and handed over a blaster and a lightsabre.

But, one man certainly caught his eye. He'd seen those markings before on a King, how interesting.

Ridge ordered a stim caf and headed towards the dark tanned man in desert garb. "Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice your markings, they look very familiar. To those of a King, I once supported with my Uncle in refinery."

[Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir]

"Really, and who might this so-called king be named?" Saadya asked not looking up.

[Lady Mylia]

Mylia entered the bar and grill and handed over her weapons at the door. She smiled and looked around for her fiancee. She spotted him talking to a very strangely marked man. She shrugged and walked over to them. "Hey hun." She gave him a kiss on the cheek. She nodded to the man. "Good evening, sir. I'm Mylia. Are you new around here?"

[Ridge (Towers) Kincaid]

Ridge smiled as Mylia arrived. "Hello, luv, glad you could join me." He looked back at the dark-haired man. "Ummm, it would be a King Ben'Ami Khalil...can't remember the rest. It was nearly five years ago."

[Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir]

"Na'Mir." Saadya finished and looked upon the man whom he was speaking.

The woman by his side was beautiful. "Greetings, M'lady. You'll have to excuse my manner, one never can be too sure of new establishments of different sands."

He stood and held out a hand. "Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir at your service, please have a seat and join me."

Saadya waited until the two of them were seated and returned to his place. "So, you knew of my father. Very interesting."

[Lady Mylia]

Mylia glanced at Ridge. How did he know this person again? This would be an interesting story. She quickly took a seat and just sat quietly and listened.

[Ridge (Towers) Kincaid]

"Yes, my uncle did most of the talking back then, but I do remember us having a dinner with your father on Sha'Karr. I remember being very impressed with the man. He was very kin on his transactions. Was always right on the money so to say."

Ridge nodded with a smile. "So, what brings the Prince of Sha'Karr to our region of the galaxy?"

[Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir]

Saadya nodded silently and relaxed a bit. "Yes, my father always was the talker of the family. I, however led justice along with my older brothers with a swords in our hands. But, even a strong army such as our own has it's weakness and my father never saw it coming. We tried to tell him that the Mul'De'Nir were coming, but he insisted that there was going to be a peace treaty between them. He was sure of it, but we didn't didn't believe it."

Saadya shook his head. "We lost everything when they launched an attack..my family is dead and I am the last known living of our kingdom, besides my guardians." A hint of weariness was in his voice. Saadya looked at Ridge. "I will gain back my throne to Sha'Karr one day and avenge my family's deaths."

[Ridge (Towers) Kincaid]

Ridge nodded in sympathy. "Your father was a good man, your Highness." He placed a warm arm around Mylia and held her close. "I'm sorry to hear of your loss."

[Lady Mylia]

Mylia listened in amazement. "Very sorry to hear of your loss." She echoed with sympathy. "Is there anything we can do to aid you in your conquest?"

[Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir]

The Desert Prince gave her a slight smile and shook his head. "Thank you for your concern, m'lady. But, I'd need an army, a massive one willing to die for my sovereighty. That is just something I don't have right now. So, I shall wait."

[Lady Mylia]

Mylia raised her eye brow. "Yes, waiting would probably be the only thing to do right now." A whole army, she thought, good luck with that.

[Ridge (Towers) Kincaid]

Ridge nodded in agreement. "Do you have a place to stay, your Highness? If it's not suitable, I can make some arrangements for you, if you'd like. As I said, your father helped my uncle quite a bit. It would give me the pleasure to return some of that hospitality."

[Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir]

"That is more than kind of you, Mr..." Saadya smiled and shook his head.

"Ridge Towers."

"I'm staying at the Carrington Inn, Mr. Towers."

[Ridge (Towers) Kincaid]

"Oh, now that will never do. I must insist you stay at my casino called OZ. Let me make the arrangements, your quarters will be fit for a King." Ridge said with a smile. He looked at his fiancee and gave her a squeeze. "OZ is a much better place for him, don't you think, luv?"

[Lady Mylia]

Mylia nodded. "Yes, OZ is an awesome place. You'll love it Mr. Khalil-Na'Mir. Would you join us there? Maybe we could have dinner together. They have several extraordinary restaurants."

[Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir]

Saadya chuckled. "Very well, I shall join you at this...OZ...wherever that is. I do have a lady friend I would like to invite as well to dinner. She's been through a lot lately and I think a nice dinner may very well cheer her up a bit."

[Ridge (Towers) Kincaid]

"I can send an airlimo, if you'd like to the Inn to get your things, if you'd like." Ridge offered.

[Saadya Khalil-Na'Mir]

"Won't be necessary, I have an airlimo. I'm sure my driver knows where your OZ is located." Saadya smiled, he was glad to have found some new friends. "Now, can I interest you two in a drink? It's the least I can do for your hospitality."

[Ridge (Towers) Kincaid]

Ridge looked at Mylia. "Why not? We've got some time. I'll have a Margarita on the rocks. Mylia?"

[Lady Mylia]

"Sure, I'll take a spiked Juma Juice please." She smiled. "Thanks."
