Unification

Part Fourteen

Two months later…


It was days before Galaxa was to be initiated. She was in a deep slumber, and when she was roused by Geo, she was not sure if she was awake or on the astral plane.

Silver and blue moonlight illuminated the room. A zephyr was blowing from the wall of windows. If not for the breeze, there was nothing but the still of the night.

He had slid up next to her on the bed and nudged her softly. Galaxa felt the warmth of his body and smelled the soft scent of alcohol on his breath as he softly called her name.

“Galaxa Tri, Galaxa, please wake up.” He dared not touch her any more than he was.

“Is this the real thing Geo? Because if it is, I am going to bust your face opened for coming into my bed.” Galaxa mumbled, still half asleep.

She felt the covers pulled from her body, a sudden draft giving her goose bumps. She sat up groggily in her white nightshirt that was slipping off of her shoulder. The sleeves were fluted and she flicked her wrists to free her hand of the fabric so she could rub her eyes and pull her hair away from her face. Looking around for him, her eyes adjusting to the light in the room.

“Gods, Galaxa,” he mumbled drunkenly in the shadow. His eyes began at her shapely legs and roamed upward to her face. “You are so beautiful.”

“Gods, Geo, You’re drunk! What do you want?” she sighed, annoyed. “Get off of my bed and tell me what you want.”

Geo got up tentatively, then confidently, throwing back his hood and stepping into the moonlight.

Galaxa gasped and sprang to her feet at the sight.

”Geo!” She exclaimed- your hair!”

His hair had been shaved off of his head, a small fuzz of it left evenly. It was a deliberate stunt, she could see from the evenness of the cut. She had to admit that he looked better than ever.

“Joss did it for me. We were drinking downstairs and I asked him to do it for me- I wanted to give you this.” Galaxa stood dumfounded as he handed her a lock of his hair, tied with a scarlet red ribbon.

“Because you don’t want me to initiate you tomorrow- and becauou wou won’t bind yourself to me- well, I thought I would bind myself to you. “

Galaxa was still flabbergasted, her heart thumping in frenzy.

“After you are initiated, I want you to know that my life is yours. I will do anything you ask. I will do this without question and unconditionally. “

“Geo,” she stammered, looking at the lock of hair. “I cannot promise you that in rn, rn, you understand that, don’t you?” Galaxa looked at him emotionally, her heart melted and about to burst.

“I don’t care, “ he stated simply. “I have been yours since our first kiss. I am tired of fighting for your affections. Perhaps one day you will turn to me, but until that day I will wait. I pledge my life to you. Body and soul, I am yours.“

Galaxa’s silent tears rolled down her cheeks and she took his lock of hair and kissed it. Geo’s own eyes werteritering as he took a step away from her and toward the door.

“My lady, I bid you a goodnight.” Geo whispered and disappeared.

Two days later…

Anakin knocked on her door very early in the morning before sticking his head in. Galaxa sat up groggily and waved him in. He sat in the chair opposite the bed and regarded her solemnly.

“What?” Galaxa asked him, irritated at having been awoken so god damned early, especially since she hadn’t gotten much sleep last night after Geo’s heartfelt declaration.

“Regarding your initiation. Geo will perform it.” Anakin said mildly, mentally preparing himself for the backlash of her emotions.

“What! No fucking way! You said that I didn’t have to do it that way! Why?” Galaxa screamed, jumping up on the bed.

“Because I wish it.” Anakin replied, in the same soft, calm, dangerous voice.

“Fuck! No! I refuse.” Galaxa panted, dropping to her knees, her anger becoming a living force, enpingping her in a crimson haze.

“You cannot. I’m changing the deal. There is only room for one Master, Galaxa tri Sephone and you are looking at him. You will obey my will in this or it will be done by force, do you understand?” His eyes had darkened while he spoke and the sudden chill in the air made Galaxa shiver in fear.

Galaxa bowed her head and nodded in defeat. “Yes, Anakin,” she mumbled.

“Gal,” he said, his mood shifting yet again. “You would be a lot better off if you just accept your new life without reservations. You can’t pick and choose the aspects that you will embrace. You must accept it as a whole.” Smiling, he rose and left the room.

Galaxa threw herself on the bed and wept.

***

After several hours of crying, her eyes becoming swollen and red she came to grips with her situation. Sighing, she rolled over to her side, reaching for an herbal cigarette. For hours, she paced about the room contemplating her future.

At lunchtime, Acaciah came to her door with Liza. Entering with some food on a tray, they took in the room’s disarray before they beginning to laugh. Clothes were strewn everywhere, and Galaxa was still in her bedclothes. An ashtray of herbal cigarette butts was already overflowing as she lit up yet another.

“Good thing those things aren’t hazardous to your health, Galaxa.” Acaciah noted.

“We’ve brought you some food, and Juma Juice.” Liza offered, setting down the tray after pushing some clothes off of the dresser. “We heard that you have been in here since daybreak.”

“And we have also come to tell you to make sure you are ready. We depart for Alameen in an hour. Tonight is your big night.” Acaciah said in a singsong voice.

Gal stared at the two girls as if lost in space. “I need a pair of scissors and some green ribbon- if I start getting ready, can you get them for me?’

Liza looked at Acaciah from the corner of her eyes and assented reservedly. “Well, uh, yeah, sure.” She answered, thinking that Galaxa wasn’t as quite up to par mentally after all.

“Thanks. I will be ready- I promise. I have my bags packed already. I just need to wash.”

Acaciah was unfazed as she plopped down on the bed and looked around.

“No mischief, today, Mistress Acaciah, I beg of you.” Gal begged as she went into the fresher. “I have enough issues as it is.”

Later that evening on Alameen…

Galaxa started as the knock sounded on her door. Opening it, she found Liza and Acaciah standing outside of her door, wearing long flowing white dresses. Galaxa smoothed her own nervously before stepping out to join them.

"Ready?" Acaciah asked her, smiling softly, a secret knowledge dancing in her eyes. Gal nodded, unable to trust her voice. She clutched in her hand the gift she was giving Geo, a small lock of her hair tied with an emerald green ribbon.

Galaxa walked slowly behind Liza and Acaciah, out of the house and towards the temple. Geo was waiting for her at the entrance. Liza and Acaciah went inside, leaving the two of them alone to talk.

"You look beautiful love." Geo said, his eyes raking her from head to toe.

"Thank you." Galaxa whispered softly, her hands clasped behind her back. "So do you." His muscled chest gleamed in the candlelight, bared for the upcoming ceremony. Loose fitting white pants in a nubby silken material caressed his thickly muscled legs before sliding down into black leather boots that hugged his calves. She reached for his hand, pressing the lock of hair softly into it before she lost her nerve. Geo turned it over in his hanis bis breath catching in his throat when he saw what she had given him.

"I'm yours Geo. I know that now. I have always been yours, since the first time you looked at me and smiled." Galaxa whispered, her voice breaking slightly as the tears started.

"Galaxa love, thank you. This makes two gifts that you've given me. First you gifted me with your purity and now you gift me with your heart. I only hope that I am worthy of such priceless treasures." Geo said, taking her in his arms.

"It is I who should be worried about being worthy. You were the strong one; always there no matter how hard I tried to push you away. I love you Geo, with all my body and soul, forever." Galaxa whispered, raising her lips to his.

Their lips met and the ten years since their first kiss fell away. She was seventeen again and he twenty-two, two people in love for the first time, with all the magic and wonderment that it brings. Her arms slid around his back as his hands cupped her face, his thumbs caressing her cheek, as they tasted each other again, lips opening and tongues meeting gently. The passion rose quickly and they pressed closer to each other, the kiss deepening, tongues tangling wildly as his hands slid to her back, pulling her closer to him

Anakin cleared his throat behind Geo, bringing them back to their surroundings. Geo held her tightly, unwilling to let her out of his arms again. "Everything is ready." Anakin said, watching his two friends, pleased that they had finally worked through their differences and realized what was really important, their connection to each other and the rest of the group.

Anakin turned and walked back into the Temple. Turning around, he looked back over his shoulder at them. "Geo, you will be initiating Galaxa. You need to make the commitment to yourselves before you commit to the rest of us," he said before disappearing into the entrance.

"Galaxa, is that okay with you?" Geo asked her, his long fingers reaching out to turn her face to look at him.

"Yes, I knew that this was coming. That is why I gave you my hair. I want you to do it. I want to bond with you in this way. We were meant to be together, it is the will of the Force." Galaxa whispered, brushing her hand along his cheek beforesingsing him softly.

They walked hand in hand into the Temple, towards their destiny.

Anakin, Acaciah, Liza and Joss were standing at the entrance to the small ceremonial room, waiting for their brethren. The anticipation hung in the air, finally all six would become one within the Force. The prophecy was about to be fulfilled, the Chosen Ones united at last.

Geo and Galaxa stepped into the room and Anakin closed the heavy stone door behind them. They would wait out here until Geo and Galaxa had finished. The six would then bond with each other, becoming one.

As they stepped into the room, Galaxa suddenly felt nervous. It had been ten years since Geo had touched her in person. Geo put his hands on her shoulders, squeezing softly before sliding his hands under the straps of her dress, sliding it off her shoulders

She shivered slightly as the dress puddled to the floor. She heard Geo divest himself of his clothing behind her before she felt his hand take hers, leading her into the circle. They stood facing each other, gazes lockeGeo Geo brushed the back of his hand along her cheek, murmuring "so beautiful" under his breath. He brought his lips closer to hers, so they were breathing the same breath.

Geo brushed his lips against hers, his arms pulling her gently down to the floor. Galaxa could see the small altar set up behind him. Rational thought fled as his mouth captured hers, his tongue swirling into her mouth, mating softly with hers. Moving down to her neck, he began to chant softly. The soft sounds raising the hair on her arms. She could feel the energy coming to their call. He moved down her body, worshipping her breasts with his mouth, sucking each nipple into his hot mouth, pulling on them softly with his teeth. Galaxa moaned loudly as the passion built swiftly in her body, radiating outward from her lower body to sing along her nerves.

He stood, still chanting, moving around behind her. Kneeling, he nudged her legs further apart, sliding in between them, his hair roughened thighs caressing her soft ones, sending tingles of delight dancing up her spine. His hot breath was on her neck, hands reaching around to play with her soft breasts as she felt the pulsing energy of the Force begin to push in on her body, caressing her, filling her soul.

Geo chanted faster, sliding his hand down to her moist warmth, slipping a finger inside of her, his thumb rubbing slowly over her bud. She whimpered softly, pushing against his hand, her own hands covering his larger ones as they played with her willing body.

"Vatsama, love." Geo whispered in her ear. "Open yourself to the force and to me." She spread her knees wider, feeling his rigid cock poised at her entrance, his thumb rubbing on her clit, bringing waves of ecstasy rushing into her womb. He pushed forward, sliding into her. She gasped softly as she felt her muscles stretch. She had forgotten how good he felt inside of her, it had been so long, too long since she had felt this rapture.

"Geo!" She screamed as she felt him slide all the way into her wet sheath. She pushed back against him, riding him hard as the waves crashed over her, her moist sheath contracting around his hard length.

"Gods, how I love you Galaxa." Geo breathed raggedly into her ear as he pumped harder, the Force filling them both, pushing them higher and higher, closer to the edge. She screamed his name again as she felt another orgasm coming, his hands kneading her breasts, pulling on her nipples as he pumped faster and faster.

They came together, screaming each other’s names, his hot seed shooting into her as her wetness caressed him. They rocked together as they came down, his arms wrapped around her, holding her close to him.

Geo pulled away from her, reaching for the small gold chalice. He set it against her mound, collecting the fluids of their joining. He handed her the chalice as he reached for the knife, making a small cut on his forearm, letting the blood drip into the chalice. He made the same small cut on her arm, holding it over the cup to mingle their blood. Setting the knife down, he pulled the bottle of ink from the altar, dumping it into the chalice and swirling it around.

"Are you ready?" Geo asked her, his eyes glittering with passion as she raised her shining emerald eyes to his. Now they would become one, joined in the Force, body to body, soul to soul.

“Yes." She breathed, reaching for him again eagerly. He chuckled, setting the chalice down carefully on the altar. He pulled her onto his lap, stroking her hair away from her face, kissing her deeply. She wrapped her legs around his waist, feeling him harden underneath her. They began chanting together, the words filling the air between them, calling the energy to them again.

The moon waxes and wanes
Changing, yet eternal
We travel together
In darkness and light
Our Union is eternal.

He slid into her wetness, pulling her close to him. She rode him hard, the passion licking at her already, making her dizzy with wanting.

Geo reached for the chalice, holding it for her to dip her fingers into. She was going to mark herself, separating her old life from the new. Lifting her arm, she drew a waxing moon two finger lengths below her shoulder joint, filling it in with the liquid. His eyes gleamed with passion as he saw the mark, she had taken his and made it her own, two halves of the whole.

"I want you to finish it Geo. Bond your soul with mine, forever one." Galaxa whispered, her hand sliding around his as he held the chalice. Geo smiled as he chanted; the power surging through the room, swirling in hot eddies around the enjoined couple. Geo dipped his finger into the chalice, painting on her skin the same symbols that ringed his own arm, Gebo, for their connection and Ansuz for their journey together.

She screamed in ecstasy, as they burned white-hot, inciting her passion even more. She pumped furiously on him, slamming down into his hips as he thrust upwards. Dipping her fingers once again into the chalice, she traced a knotted pattern of two snakes, their bodies entwined, mouths turned towards each other onto his other arm, right under the large T shaped glyph that signified his bond with Anakin and Joss, the icy hot fire burning into his soul as they came together, peaking.

They rocked softly as his seed drained into her willing body. Galaxa collapsed against him; her empathic energies maxed to the hilt. Geo set the chalice down, pulling her against him as she mumbled in ancient Alderaanian, the musical tones tumbling from her lips as the power seeped from the room.

Geo stroked her cheek, trying to rouse her back to consciousness. "Galaxa love, wake up. Come back to me." he whispered against her cheek, his lips grazing her ear. She mumbled softly, her eyes blinking as she roused. Smiling, she felt his breath hot in her ear.

"I love you Geo," she whispered as he rose, cradling her in his arms.

"I love you too Galaxa" Geo said against her hair. She slid her legs down his body. The others were waiting. They had more to do this night. Geo held her against him, helping her to stand. Her emotions were on overload.

Galaxa looked at him with shining eyes, finally at peace with herself. Walking over to where they left their clothing, they helped each other dress, unwilling to take their hands off each other.

This moment had been a long time coming and now that it was finally here, they wanted to prolong it as much as possible before letting anyone else in. They loved the other four as much as anyone could love another person, but the connection they shared went deeper than love. They had joined souls, bonding together within the Force.

"Do you think the others felt as we do now when they were finished?" Galaxa asked Geo when they finished dressing.

"I certainly hope so,” he said, taking her lips in a torrid kiss.

Breaking away from her reluctantly, he grabbed her hand and they went over to the door, opening it. Four smiling faces met theirs.
