He had it all, didn't he? The power, the glory, the wealth, the prestige, the girl. Yes, he most definately had it all. The galaxy under his rule exhaulted him above all others. The most beautiful girl he had ever seen was in love with him and he with her. And she was smart too. And she was missing. Missing because of him. Because of his carelessness. Because of his power. Because of him. She was gone. And he couldn't get her back. His best men were looking for her. Had been looking for her for the past two weeks. With no luck. Not evenn a cold trail.
His men just weren't good enough. It was time to bring in someone with more skill with this. It was time to bring in a bounty hunter. The best in the galaxy. It was time to bring in Xaveri Daron.

Xaveri Daron waited. And waited. And waited. No sign of the customer. But what did she expect? He was the most powerful man in the galaxy. Why even bother being on time for a meeting with a bounty hunter? Hey, why even bother show up? Xaveri stood up to go, her sandy blonde curls bounced around her face. A hand on her shoulder stopped her from taking a step. "Xaveri Daron?" A voice asked. "Yes," She turned, pulling her gun out and putting it in the man's stomach.
"I'm terribly sorry for keeping you waiting." The man said from under his hood. "I was about to leave." Xaveri said coldly, "I have other buisness." "I think this is worth your time." The man said. "Really?" Xaveri doubtfully said. She put a hand on her hip and slightly tilted her head to say 'I'm listening'. "Yes," The man said, "Let's have a seat though." Xaveri sat across from the man. "I need you to find someone for me." The man said. "Really? I thought bounty hunters did hit and run attacks." Xaveri bit out sarcastically.
"I need you to find a girl by the name of Ivy Amble." The man said ignoring Xaveri's comment. "Sounds easy enough," Xaveri said, "But I don't work for anyone without seeing their face first." The man smiled tightly. He pulled back his hood. Beneath the hood there was an amazingly handsom man with short black hair and piercing blue eyes. His soft features told Xaveri he had been involved in politics far too long for his own good. Before Xaveri was the most powerful man in the galaxy. Before her was Koran Arbar. "How much are you paying?" Xaveri asked. Another tight smile. "Always about the money, isn't it?" Koran asked. "Yes." Xaveri said bluntly. "Half a million, standard currency." Koran stated. "I want half now." Xaveri demaded. Arbar smiled. "Of course,"' He pulled out half of the money and pushed it toward Xaveri. She took it and made sure it was all there. Politicians were always trying to cheat people. "I'll bring her to you when I find her. Any place for me to start?" "Try looking into the Blood Venom gang." Koran said. "If they've got her, she's already dead." Xaveri told him. "I'd still like to know for sure. when you get a lead let me know and we'll meet at the Sun Cliffs." Arbar said. "Deal," Xaveri said. Koran pulled his hood back up and left. Xaveri lingered a moment longer before getting up. She had a few contacts that had dealings with the Blood Venom. If they had this Ivy girl, her contacts would know. If they had this Ivy girl, she was probably already dead.
