MESH

[Samus Aran]

Camelot is a lot more beautiful than Coruscant, that’s for sure. I can’t remember how long it’s been since I saw fields this lush. I’m hoping that in this case, I can judge the book by its cover.

The last time I was here, I killed a dragon and then got knocked out with a hammer. There’s also a lizard running around somewhere that I made.

I really wish it was possible to summon vehicles in this verse, something that won’t turn around and bite me. Just for a moment I form the image in my mind of my beloved ship. Its contours, its thrusters, that cockpit that I must have spent months of my life in. I hold it in my mind …

… And there’s no resistance. What? The last time I was here, I couldn’t even summon a simple speeder bike. Just what happened? Has summoning changed? Has the verse changed? Just when I felt like I was starting to get a grip on the weird rules of this place, they go ahead and change on me. This is disconcerting. Perhaps it’s because I’ve grown more powerful, and I’m able to override the ‘rules’. The moment I get the opportunity, I’ll have to check this with another prime. Actually, I could do that when I arrive at Minas Tirith.

No wasting time, then. I continue to think of the ship. It takes a while, I don’t know how long; I’m almost afraid to open my eyes. But I do so and it’s there. And I smile for the first time today. I hug it despite myself before hopping up and getting in. “Sorry about getting you blown up,” I say as I get seated in the cockpit.

And without another moment’s delay, I blast off towards Minas Tirith.
