Kamon sighed and looked at her.
"Jade, ever stop to think that maybe it wasn't your fault? Maybe it was their father fault, or the Force's fault? The Force plays a major factor in everything."
He put his hands on her shoulder gently.
"Believe me, you can't change who you are. You are still your children's mother. You can still be there to guide them, to help them along. But you can't do that if you're dead. If you're dead then they do have nothing, and you are nothing but a memory to them."

"Just like their fathers are memories."
She blinks and shakes her head, then looks at him.
"I am dead, Kamon. A Force Vampyre, a shapeshifter, a creature of the night. Dead!
In fact, why are you so concerned by this anyways?"

He blinked at her question.
"Honestly, I don't know. Other than the fact that we are friends. And you aren't dead. You can be killed which means you aren't dead."
Cocking his head to the side, he pulled his hands away from her shoulders. It was kind of a reflex as he realized what was going on but couldn't say it.
"Their fathers may be memories, but in Damien's case it may be best that way."

"I was killed. How do you think I ended up this way? You have to die to end up a vampyre, to feed off other people just to survive, to hide from the sun and never see it."
Even though the holographic sun they were in didnt hurt her any, she was still hiding in the shadows to prove her point.
"And not many friends get this concerned, even if you are being a good Jedi trying to help out a Shadow Jedi. The first moment they felt Darkness come from me, they would turn tail and run, leave me alone.
So what is really your excuse?"

Kamon took a step to the side then back again.
"I don't know, Jade. Honestly."
His face remained calm and expressionless, but deep down he knew what was going on. He wasn't afraid of her for more than one reason. And one of those reasons was the main reason. And he knew which it was. But he couldn't tell her.
"I'm not scared OF you, Jade. I'm scared for you."

"Yeah? Then maybe you should have ran like all my other friends did."
Not saying anything else, she turns from him and takes off running down the beach along the tall cliff where she knew the training grounds would be. In this holographic world of hers, it looked just like Dameo, like New Dameo would when it was complete. And in here, everything was right where it was supposed to be. From ShadowBlade right down to her flower gardens.
Knowing she wasnt far from the docking bay, not trying to leave because her ship was holographic, and useless while in that state, she stopped and looked around. Since she no longer had to breathe, there was no breath to catch, so she took off running again out the castle gates and down into the city, adorning a cloak and hiding her presense so as not to be found right away.
She had not run very fast, and was sure Kamon was right behind her, so once her cloak and hood were on, she quickly slipped into the crowd of shoppers in what would be Daemun City, New Dameo.

Kamon followed, but not very quickly. She had taken off on her own, running from him he assumed. Perhaps that was for the best because he didn't know what to say to her. He hadn't run because he wasn't afraid of her. Jedi, especially Rogue Jedi, fear nothing. Well, they're supposed to fear nothing. And Kamon didn't fear Jade.
"I'm going to keep my mouth shut or I'm going to get myself in hot water too soon."
He walked into the city a few minutes after her, following through the crowd all though he had lost her in all senses. His eyes couldn't pick her out and she'd hid herself in the Force. The best he could do was follow his instinct and just walk, hoping to run into her before too long.

Rounding a corner into a dark alley, she presses a button on her holopad. New Dameo comes into few and she is surprised by the progress it had taken.
The core had solidifyied quite nicely, and everything that would be Daemun City, Merlok, and Sun City was still forming itself. She switched to the ships view and saw the fiery ocean is now completed, as well as the rest. Except for those last 3 cities.
By tomorrow, it will be complete. And her waiting would be over. But Jade knew she couldnt hide from Kamon that long. She would have to face him sooner or later, and she preferred later. He was acting funny, and she couldnt sense why, and perhaps he was hiding it. And she didnt like it. It felt like being in the dark.
Making sure he wasnt close by, she made her way south to where the gates where to Battlegrounds.

Kamon knew he would never find her in the city with her Force presence hidden. His only bet was to get a vantage point where he could see for a ways around and try to spot her. Then, and only then, would he be able to find her unless she unhid her presence. Which he doubted would happen.
Leaping up onto a building, actually it was only a half wall, but it looked like a building because of the holo, he sat down on the edge of it. Looking around, he could see quite a wats away to where people were moving. Right then he could not spot her, but he would wait.
"She knows something is up."

A lone figure was seen exiting another set of gates in the distance, then fades from sight after dropping off a small cliff.
Something was hidden there, and Jade was going after it. Of course, it was just a hologram, but it would be there when New Dameo was complete. She soon re-entered his sight unknowingly, then entered what looked like a cave, having ignited a white lightdagger to light her way.
"Something's not right with Kamon. He wont tell me what, and I cant sense what, so hes either hiding it, or doesnt want to admit it. Either way, he doesnt want me to know. And its arritating me to no end. What am I to do, Father? I cant ignore how funny he is acting around me. Maybe it was something I said about my past.
What am I to do?"
Jade kneels at the feet of the statue of her father, who liked to be called Eternal Ninja Doment. She always comes here and prays to the statue of the Doment Family's royal leader, especially when she was at a loss or confused about things going on around her.
