I really hope you'll give this a chance as it was not really supposed to be as long as it turned out. It was a lot of fun to write and just hope that you will enjoy reading it. It's from the first person perspective. So without further ado here we go...

Sacrifices







As I sat in my chambers meditating I wondered what the day would bring. It was a rather sparely decorated room, with nothing but a bed, meditation pad, a computer terminal and chair. The walls were stone, unpolished and dreary. All in all not very interesting. I felt many of my friends moving around through the Force, as well as my master Addie, coming towards my room.


As I sat there I continued trying to meditate, and continued to feel my master approach. She was coming to see me, and I was ready for her; or I thought I was. As I sat there I wondered what sort of training I might be put through today. I was still trying to clear my mind when I heard at knock on the door, it was my master. “C’mon in,” I called through the metal, as I stood . As the door opened I saw my master in her customary brown robe. Her red hair suiting her fiery temperament to a tee, her face as pretty as ever. I bowed to her and asked, “What can I do for you today master?”



Her response as usual was, “How many times have I told you not to call me that? It’s Addie.” She muttered to herself, and I knew it was about me being headstrong, as usual. I flashed my lopsided grin at this and waited for her to continue. “We’re going off planet, be ready to go in 30 minutes.” I nodded, her tone brooking no argument, nor needing a response.



I moved about my room quickly and was ready to go with twenty minutes to spare. Knowing where I was to meet my master, I wandered out into the dormitory looking for some of my friends. As I walked down the hall, I saw Blackswan, who was recently made a Dark Lady. I started to bow to her as was appropriate, but she wrapped me up in a hug. “No bowing between us,” she said a slightly mischievous smile on her face. Headstrong and good-natured as usual, she had become one of my best friends during my apprenticeship under Addie.



“How are you Swan? I haven’t seen you around much.” From what I’d heard the masters had sent her on a mission to Coruscant, and I had no idea that she had returned. I had missed being able to talk to her while she was gone.



“Yea, I got back last night. I’d have come to say hi but it was really late.” She smiled at me again, the mischievousness still there. “Wanna go play a game?” We played djarik a lot and I really wished I had time for a game before I left, however I had run out of time.


“I wish I could, but I’m going off-planet with my master in less than 10 minutes, so I’m afraid I really don’t have the time.” Hugging her again, I smiled at her. “I’ll be sure to play a game with you when I get back, as well as sitting down and talking. Bye my friend.”



She looked sad at this, and sighed. “I understand, and I’ll hold you to that. You know that.” With a kiss on the cheek she turned and headed away to her room. I watched her leave and sighed. There was never enough time for anything. Oh well, that was just part of life.

As I continued along the hall to the hanger I saw numerous friends and waved at them, BarefootXO former apprentice to JMT, a Dark Lord, Maggy, a new apprentice, Rowan Jade, a new Dark Lady, Dashleebo, another Dark Lady and former apprentice to Addie, as well as other Dark Lords, Ladies and apprentices.



As I arrived at the hanger I saw two more people than I had expected. They were Goddessjainasolofel, and my sister Allie, whose alias was HandmaidenRabé. She was in the process of becoming an apprentice, and I had no earthly idea why she might be there other than to say goodbye. Goddess was a Dark Lady, and former apprentice to Addie.


I waved in greeting as I arrived and headed over. My sister however ran over to greet me and tackle hugged me as usual. I caught her and spun in a circle, her in my arms, smiling. “Good to see you again sis, it’s been far too long this time.”


She was grinning up a storm. “Yea it has, but guess what?” She didn’t even give me the time to guess why she was so excited. “Your master said I could come with you on this one. She said it was about time I got a taste of what is going to be happening during my apprenticeship. Isn’t that great?” She had a twinkle in her eyes, and this huge grin plastered all over her face.



I smiled at her, but it wasn’t quite the same smile as before, and from the look on her face I knew she had felt my misgivings through our Force bond. Sighing I said, “I’m glad you’re getting to come with us sis, but I’m just worried about what might happen to you. These missions are very rarely safe, and I’m assuming Goddess is coming with us, so I have major doubts about it even being safe enough for me to go.” Any mission that required a Master and a Dark Lady would not be easy.



I had been walking over to Addie and Goddess, while talking with my sister, and they had overheard the last, and they obviously understood my worry for my sister because Goddess spoke up. “She’s actually why I’m coming Trimaj, so that I can look after her and you can focus on your mission. I get the feeling that your sister will come in very useful on this trip.” She said this last with a wink at Rabé.



I was glad Goddess was going to be looking out for my sister. There were very few people that I would place my sister in the hands of, Goddess was one of them. She had become a very close friend while I was there, in many ways my closest friend, in spite of the gap between Lady and Apprentice that was commonly there.



I looked at my master, and she smiled at me reassuringly, and I finally just had to accept what was going to happen. “I guess we ought to get going then. I’m ready.” I said, patting my bag that was over my shoulder. I had always been a very light packer, seeing as my robes were really about all I was going to need other than a comlink and my lightsabers, which were always buckled beneath my jet black cloak on my belt. I had long ago decided I didn’t want to wear the traditional brown robes, as they were a symbol of the Jedi in far to many ways. The jet black robes were a symbol of darkness, and since I had much inner darkness that I had been fighting for years now I had decided that they fit me much better.


My master nodded and turned to lead the way onto the ship we were going to be using. She pointed out our bunks as she moved to the cockpit to get the ship under way. As I headed to my room to stow my gear I noticed Goddess lingering behind Addie slightly, so I went over to her, having seen my sister heading to her room.



I wrapped her up in a hug and smiled at her, it had been a very long time since I had seen her, going on over six months now. “It has been far to long since I’ve seen you my friend. Something is bothering you, that I can tell. What is it?” Looking in her eyes, I knew this was not going to be good news by any means.



“We’re going to Korriban, we received word that there was a new Sith enclave there, and we have to either get them to join us here, or wipe them out. I must admit, I am worried about your sister, as this will likely turn ugly, very fast.” The worry written on her face had a slight undercurrent of joy, as she was truly happy to see me again.



Sighing I replied, “I was afraid something like that was going to be the case. We’ll both just have to look out for her, as well as watching each others backs.” Neither one of us was too worried about Addie as she was a full blown master, and had proven many times that she could take care of herself very well. “I’ll be with my sister while you two get us under way. I’ll take your bag to your room if you want.” I held out my hand knowing she would accept.


She smiled at me and nodded, and handed me her bag as she moved towards the cockpit. Watching her leave I was very troubled about this. It seemed almost like a suicide mission, as the sheer numbers would be so far against us that it was insane. I worried that the master’s council had overestimated Addie, as well as the rest of us. And what were they thinking in allowing my sister to come on this? She wasn’t even a full apprentice yet. She was almost finished her training to become one, but that by no means meant that she was ready for this.



Sighing I turned and put Goddess’ things in her room, and went to mine where I found my sister already waiting for me. I smiled as I saw her sitting on my bed, and I dropped my bag by the door, as it didn’t really matter if I put the stuff up anyways. Taking off my sabers I lay them on a shelf on the wall beside my bunk and sat down next to her. Putting an arm around her, I felt her cuddle up to me, taking comfort from my being there. She was very obviously worried about all of this, and rather unsure. I just wondered when her temper would flare up, as it usually did in this kind of situation.



However to my utter shock she started to cry. I turned slightly and pulled her onto my lap, where she settled comfortably and nestled her head into my chest, tears still falling. I started to stroke her hair, and sent her feelings of comfort through the Force. “You know everything’s going to be alright, don’t you sis? I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”

She sat there crying for a few more minutes before responding, “I know you won’t Tristan, but I’m worried that it won’t be in your control, anymore than my coming was in mine. They basically made me come.” Here she looked up at me, the tears still running down her cheeks, “I’m not ready.” With that admission she cracked and threw her arms around me, pressing her face into my chest and sobbing.



I had very rarely seen her like this, but it had become more frequent as of late. The wonders of growing up. I continued to hold her and stroke her hair until she finally calmed some. “You know as well as I do that the masters wouldn’t have made you come were you not ready sis. You know that possibly better than me. How many times did you try to convince them you were ready? A very large number, cause you said you wanted to be with me.” I smiled at her. “Now you are sis. You know I get strength just from being near you, and you know that I love having you around no matter the situation.” I wiped the tears from her face gently and kissed her on the forehead. “I love you sis, and I’ll never let anything happen to you.”

She actually smiled slightly, took my hand, and just held it, looking up at me with such love written on her face that I was lost in it. “I love you to bro, I love you more than I know how to express.” With that she kissed me on the cheek, cuddled up in my arms, and sighed contentedly.



It was just then that I heard the intercom. “We’re ready to go, you two need to get strapped in somehow till we make the jump to light speed.” Addie, all business right now hadn’t let any emotion into her voice. That was a very bad sign. It betrayed how worried she truly was. I had to wonder if any of us would survive this trip.





* * *





After we had made the jump to hyperspace my sister had fallen asleep in my arms, and I had laid her down on my bed, covering her up, making sure she was comfortable. I then went out with Addie and Goddess into the lounge area. “So what aren’t you telling me?” I don’t know why I went in practically demanding something but I did. I got headstrong like that sometimes, or you could just call it stupid. This time however Addie just sighed.


“We have a big problem Trimaj, and I won’t lie about it. I don’t know why your sister is here, and it’s only likely to complicate matters greatly. We’re up against at least a hundred Sith, not to mention the soldiers they’re likely have there. I don’t know how we’re going to get out of this alive.” Her expression was taut, and worn. Things had evidently not been going to well for a little while and I wondered how I had missed it earlier.



“Is this to be an execution then? Are we meant to die?” I was shocked that was the first thing that that came to mind, but I couldn’t see another answer given the circumstances. It was almost as if Addie had posed some kind of threat and they wanted it gone, as well as Goddess because they were almost of the same mind on most issues. And they would naturally have to send me as well, seeing as I was her apprentice. But my sister I didn’t get, unless they didn’t want to have to tell her I was dead. That was about the only answer I had for what was going on, but I didn’t think that was it.



“I don’t know Trimaj, it very well may be. But that doesn’t feel right. There is more going on here than meets the eye. I guess we’ll just have to find out. I’m going to get some sleep while I can, it will be a scarce commodity in the near future.” With that Addie got up and went to her cabin.


I sighed at her words, as I knew she was right, but had no idea what to do with it. Going over I sat next to Goddess and didn’t say anything for a while. It was nice to have friends that you could just sit with and not have to say anything, to not really have an awkward silence with. Finally however I spoke. “Why are you here Goddess? I thought you were going to be staying on Mon Calamari for nearly another year.”

She almost didn’t answer, but we were such friends that despite the fact that I really had no right to know as an apprentice, she answered me. “I got found, and almost got killed. It’s a very long story, but I just got here in time to be sent out on this. I don’t know how the Republic found me, my cover was perfect, and there was even a trail created that they could follow. The only thing I can think of that would have caused that to happen was if I were betrayed, and only the masters and you knew where I was. I know it wasn’t you, but I have no idea about the masters. There is some hidden agenda here that even Addie knows nothing about.” She sighed, looked at me, and took my hand.



After a moment I released her hand, put my arm around her, and felt her lay her head on my shoulder. We just sat there in silence drawing strength from each other, not knowing if either one of us would still be alive in just a few days. Finally I said, “We need to go get some sleep Goddess. As Addie said, we’ll be hard pressed to get any in the near future.” I smiled at here, letting her know I had enjoyed spending time with her again, and I stood up, offering a hand which she accepted.



When we reached our separate doors she stopped and looked at me for a long moment, and then came over and kissed me on the cheek. “I love you my dear friend. I hope we both get out of this.” She smiled up at me and I could sense her worry about the future, or lack there of.


“I love you too Goddess, you are my friend and sister.” I wrapped her up in a hug and felt her hug me back. After a moment I said, “We’ll be ok. Things have been worse before, haven’t they?” I pulled back slightly and smiled at here again. “Go get some sleep my friend. You need it.” With that I kissed her on the forehead, turned, and entered my room.


I found my sister sitting up, looking a little lost, and I sighed. I had hoped she would still be asleep when I got back. “Hey sis, you ok?” She looked up at the sound of my voice and smiled. There was still a major undercurrent of uncertainty, but it was less than it had been.



“Could I stay in here with you Tristan? I really don’t want to be alone right now.” She looked absolutely pathetic in the way only a 13 year old girl can.



I smiled and went over to her, wrapping her up in a hug and sending feelings of reassurance and love to her. “Of course you can sis, I don’t really want to be alone either.” Taking off my cloak, I noticed that my sister was already in her pj’s. I smiled and went to the ‘fresher to change, coming back in a loose shirt and pair of shorts. I pulled the covers back and laid down, and felt her snuggle up to me immediately. I smiled and put my arm around her. I used the Force to turn out the light and I felt her relax and start to breath evenly. She was worn out, that much was obvious. As was I. She was asleep in minutes, but I lay awake worrying about her, Goddess and Addie, and how we were going to get out of this situation. After nearly 30 minutes I felt my worn out body start to refuse to stay awake any longer. So clearing my mind I drifted off to sleep, the warmth of my sister a great comfort to me and, I hoped, the warmth and love I was radiating was comforting to her.





* * *







I awoke to the sound of the hyperspace alarm blaring, letting us all know it was time to get up there and be ready. I wished it was automated, or just directed at certain cabins, but it wasn’t. I looked at my sister lying next to me, still asleep somehow. I heard my master and Goddess run up to the cockpit, and felt from them that everything was ok, at least for the moment.

I continued to look at my sister, and wondered if we would both make it out of this yet again. I was worried about what would happen to her if I died, or more accurately what she would do. It would quite literally tear her apart, at least emotionally. But she looked so peaceful as she lay there, breathing evenly.



I reached out and pushed some of her hair back from her face, and caressed her cheek gently. I didn’t know what I would do if I lost her. She was such a big part of my life, and I couldn’t stand to see her get hurt. I was going to do everything I could to make sure that she got through this ok.



It was then that I sensed that we were finally there, and that I needed to start getting ready to go. I sighed and sent feelings of alertness to my master. I then leaned over, kissed my sister on the cheek, and whispered to her, “It’s time to wake up sis, we got a big day ahead of us.”



I watched as her eyes opened, and grinned in response to her smile. She reached up and I bent over and wrapped her up in my arms, holding her. I could still feel her uncertainty about being here, but it was a lot less defined, and had a rather large overtone of love and happiness at being with me. I knew she could sense my worry, but also my love for her from which the worry stemmed.



We stayed like that for a little while, then I pulled back and just looked at her. She felt uncertain under my scrutiny and the way she acted showed it. “You’re growing up,” I finally said. “You’re turning into a beautiful young woman, and I’ve missed so much of it.” She blushed furiously when I said this, and I smiled at her. I reached out and gently caressed her cheek. “I love you sis.”



“I know,” was all she said, as she lunged at me, putting herself inside my arms again. I smiled and held her, stroking her head as we sat there for a while. “I’m afraid to say it, but we need to get up sis. We’re going to be landing in the near future and we need to be ready to go.”



She looked up at me, and sighing she nodded. “I wish we could just stay here Tristan. I haven’t seen you enough.” She looked sad as she stood up.



I grabbed her hand and said, “I’ll make it up to you sis, I promise I will.” She brightened as I said this and as she turned I said, “I love you Allie, far more than I’ll ever be able to show you.” She looked at me and I could feel through our Force bond that she knew, and that she felt the same. With that one last look she left for her cabin to get ready.


I sighed as I was left alone again, and stood to get ready. I used the Force to call my lightsabers to my hands, and placed them on my belt. Then I got my black cloak and put it on over my black robe, leaving the hood down. I really didn’t need anything that I had in my bag, but I went over and picked it up. I got out the comlink and placed it on my belt as well. I contemplated leaving the bag, but I figured the ration bars as well as the cantinas of water may be useful. I actually decided to eat one then, just so I’d have more energy.



Heading out I met my sister who was ready as well. She was wearing her dark purple cloak over her dark green robe, hood down and her lightsaber at her belt. She looked like she was already an apprentice, and one of the more colorful ones at that. I smiled at her and took her hand as we walked up to the cockpit together.



As we arrived the sense of preparation was obvious and would have been so even to someone who wasn’t Force sensitive. Goddess was wearing her usual brown cloak and white robes, her long blond hair in a braid so it would be out of her way. My master was dressed in similar attire, but with a dark blue cloak, and dark purple robes.



They both nodded to us and Addie said, “We’ll be setting down in the next five minutes. They haven’t answered any of our com’s so we’re assuming that they don’t want us to know they’re there. Unfortunately that also means that we won’t be able to find a peaceful solution either.” She sighed at this. “I’m going to send a message back to the masters letting them know that we will not be joined by any new Dark Lords or Ladies.” And she commenced to do so, the obvious note of concern in her voice as she sent the message again arousing worry in me.



I looked at Goddess and she smiled at me and nodded at my sister, and when I turned to look at her I saw her sitting in a chair, looking very much alone. I smiled at Goddess, nodded my thanks and went over to my sister.

I knelt beside her and said, “Everything’s going to work out, you know that don’t you?” When she didn’t nod I picked her up and sat down, her in my lap. I held her to me, sending feelings of reassurance and love to her again. I could feel her turmoil at being there still, and I could feel it growing. “Sis I’m going to take care of you, I promise. Nothin‘ll happen to you.”



She looked up at me for a moment, and nodded. She then buried her face in my chest and waited with the rest of us till we landed, me stroking her head the whole way down.

Ok, here's the second section. I'll be posting the third within the next week.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we landed with nothing happening I felt relieved. That lasted only until I saw the blasted landscape that was surrounding us. It was a blighted place, with mainly browns and reds covering it. There were sheer cliffs and mountains covering the planet, and I had to wonder how it had ever supported life. The feeling of the darkside was immense as well. It was a physical presence on this planet, one that you could not get away from. Unfortunately it was nightfall as well.

I took my sister’s hand as I followed my master and Goddess down the ramp, their hand’s resting on their saber hilts. I had my right hand on mine as well, and I sincerely hoped that we would not need to use them, knowing that we would.



“Master Addie, where are we going?” my sister asked in a surprisingly strong voice. I guessed that maybe getting into the situation might be helping her, but only time would tell. I smiled at her again, and then opening myself up to the Force I tried to sense any potential dangers.


“Well Rabé, there’s this building off to the northwest, and I’m guessing that’s where the Sith are. It’s not one of the old temples that are scattered all over this planet, or if it is it’s the first one that was ever built. It’s far older than anything else in our records.” She had continued forward as she spoke, and we all followed her.


The sense I was getting from Goddess was one of resignation, as if she knew something the rest of us didn’t, and I had to wonder what her and my master had been talking about seeing as my master had the same sense. It wasn’t something that really fit what was going on, at least not what I was getting from them. It was as if they knew one of us would not be going home. I didn’t want to even think about that possibility, so I blocked it from my mind.



We walked towards the building in as direct a manner as possible, which considering the terrain we had to go over, wasn‘t very. We might have tried climbing, but my sister didn’t have the experience to do that, and none of us was willing to take that risk, so we found another way up or around as needed.

After walking for nearly an hour with nothing happening we all began to relax a little. It was then that I felt a sense of menace all around us, and it became apparent that Addie and Goddess felt it as well. It was a very evil sense, and very much aware of us. I cursed silently. Why hadn’t we tried to hide our presence? After all we were trying to sneak into a Sith base.



Addie didn’t seem quite as worried as the rest of us. It was then that I realized that the Sith knew we were here ever since we had landed. How could they have missed us? We were a blazing comet and even during the day it would have been hard to miss. I sighed again and realized just how much I still had to learn, no matter how good I had become at fighting, as my duel sabers were a testament to.



Goddess finally spoke, and it was impossible to hide the melancholy in her voice, at least from me and Addie, her former master. I didn’t think my sister picked up on it though. “We’re within ten minutes of the building. We should be able to see it when we get around this bend.” Again I wondered what she knew that I didn’t.



She was right. The building was old, that much was obvious. But it was big as well. Enormous actually, and the sheer amount of the darkside radiating from it was incredible. It drew you to it like a magnet. That was without being able to even really see it. What I could see of it however was a large pyramid shape, with obvious tiers, and even some spires running up from various points of it. It had a rather eclectic feel to it, but I figured it probably looked better during the day.



I also saw the path to the door. It went across a canyon, and I realized that we had traversed under the bridge. I had to wonder if the bridge was rigged to explode, if it would collapse under us, or if it were even guarded. But when we got there, I could see no guards, not feel any danger from it specifically.

As we all approached the bridge cautiously, Addie waved for me to come forward and looked at Goddess, it was obvious she wanted to talk to me alone. I looked at my sister, and she was reluctant to let go of my hand. I pulled it up to me and kissed the back of it. “Goddess’ll take care of you Allie, that’s part of why she’s here.” She finally let go at this and hugged me again. I smiled and held her for a minute before pulling away and joining my master a short way off, out of earshot.



I just stood there until she spoke, looking at the bridge and trying to feel anything from it that might be a danger of some sort. There was nothing. When she finally spoke it was with great sadness. “I fear I have led us to a graveyard. Goddess had a vision of one of us dying here. She saw many possibilities, and in all of them one of us died. She is afraid that there isn’t a way for us to all make it out of here, and I fear she is right. Your sister will live, I guarantee you that, but as to whether you, Goddess, or I will be there to see it is anyone’s guess.” She sighed and just stood there for a moment. “I just thought you had a right to know about this. Don’t tell your sister, I don’t want her anymore worried than she already is.”

I nodded and stood there for a moment. I hated to have what I’d been fearing confirmed, that one of us would die. That it was either going to be my sister, my master or one of my closest friends that would possibly be the one made it harder on me. The thought that it might be me worried me far less than the possibility of one of those three. “I was afraid that was what it was Master. I knew already on some level that it was true.” I looked at her and there was so much that I wanted to tell her. But I knew we didn’t have the time. Sighing, I tried to send as much of it through to her as I could. I didn’t know how much she got, but that was the best I could do at the moment. “The bridge feels safe, shall we try?”

She smiled at me and nodded. “Yes, I do believe we shall.” She waved for the others to come up, and we started across the bridge towards the mammoth door to this gargantuan building, my sister beside me and my friends around me.







* * *





Nothing happened as we approached the door. Nothing had happened since we had landed, but that vague sense of menace was much stronger than when we had first sensed it. It was more defined, and obviously focused on this building. Where in the building was another matter entirely.

We couldn’t find any way to open the door and when my Master tried to use the Force on it, she could find no handle to pull, and it didn’t budge when she tried to push it. She seemed perplexed as she drew her lightsaber determined to get in one way or another. As she approached, her purple blade glowing from her smooth silver hilt, the door suddenly swung open.



She paused and looked inside. It was lit by torches and nothing else. But for some reason there was an eerie dark navy glow about the inside, it was everywhere, and it never varied. Even in the shadows it was there and it illuminated them without dispersing them.



Goddess then drew her saber, the blue blade emerging from the silver colored hilt and she walked forward to stand next to Addie. I looked at my sister and released her hand. I saw the determination in her eyes, and the feeling of uncertainty was gone. I smiled, this was most definitely my sister. She drew her saber as well and activated it, the standard red blade of the Sith, which she had chosen as a reminder of what she didn’t want to become, cold and heartless, emerging from her unadorned and rather simple handle. It was her first lightsaber, and when she had finished it she had come running into my room to show me. It was the sign that she was almost ready to be taken as an apprentice. She had completed the basic training with it, and had been the best student in her group. She was very definitely my sister in that respect. I had also spent sometime sparring with her, and training her as well as I had progressed.



I watched as she moved to join Goddess and my Master and I smiled. I finally drew my two sabers. The one in my right hand having a curved hilt, and being of a matte black metal that was always warm to the touch. It had been molded to my hand, and as I pressed the ruby activation stud the viridian silverish blade emerged from the hilt. It had a guard on it so that my fingers went through it and would make it much harder to knock from my grasp. The one in my left hand was designed almost the same as my other one, however it had more of a curve and was made of onyx. It was chased with platinum and as I pressed the sapphire activation stud a silver blade emerged from it. I smiled at the familiar sight and walked forward to join my companions. As I neared the entrance I was nearly overwhelmed by the feeling of power in the building, even in the very air that I was breathing. I wondered what could have caused such a thing, and realized I probably didn’t really want to know.



Addie started forward cautiously, and I could feel her stretch out with the Force, as were Goddess and my sister, and as I was doing as well. Again the only feeling of danger was that overarching menacing feeling, and it was still growing stronger.



We walked down the hall and as we reached halfway, the doors clanged shut behind us. It made me and my sister jump and look behind us. My Master’s and Goddess’ gaze remained fixed ahead, on the door that was opening.


And finally things started to get bad. In charged five Sith, we couldn’t really tell if they were apprentices or something more, but they were fairly well trained, that much was obvious by the way they all held their red bladed sabers in their right hands.



We stood there staring at each other for a moment that seemed to last forever, and then they charged. Two coming at me because I had two weapons and from that I figured they thought that I was in charge. Their mistake.

As they approached I noticed my sister squaring off with one and she was actually on the attack, and then I was far to busy to notice much of anything as I opened myself up to the Force fully and began to flow into battle.

The two Sith attacked in concert, one going for a high slash at my head, the other stabbing at my stomach. I was up to the challenge, my right hand blade meeting the one coming for my head, and my left parrying the stab sending the saber out wide. I stepped forward and slashed back with my left hand blade going at the Sith that my right hand blade was still holding at bay, he spun away to my right and using his momentum swung at my knees. I jumped and blocked a blow from the other Sith with my right hand that had been aimed at my stomach, and I kicked out at the one that had swiped at my legs, catching him in the face. He staggered back and I was able to focus my attention on the lone Sith. He had been well trained, but couldn’t handle two sabers. As he blocked a swipe at his head I stabbed him through the chest simultaneously and turned just as the other Sith who had been sufficiently dazed came charging at me, looking to cleave me in two.



I dove out to the right and coming to my feet saw him calling his fallen Sith brother’s saber into his hand. I sighed and thought things were getting interesting. However I didn’t give him the chance to get set as I came in chopping for his head and parrying a stab at my side. He managed to block but I stepped forward without pausing and smashed my forehead into his face, and I heard bones crack as his nose was forced backwards. I felt his pain and drew upon it for more strength and kneed him between the legs with such ferocity that he doubled over instantly which enabled me to decapitate him with a backhanded slash of my left saber.



As I stood there breathing heavily I felt eyes on me, and turned and saw my sister staring at me, almost as if she had never seen me before. I saw that Addie had quickly dispatched her opponent and had gone to help my sister, who had been holding her own. That fight had obviously been over very quickly and my sister had turned to watch me. The expression on her face pained me more than I had even thought was possible. It was an expression of horror at watching me, her normally gentle brother kill a fellow being. It didn’t matter that she had been “trying” to do so herself, or at least defending herself. Then I sensed from her that it wasn’t so much that I had killed the Sith, but in the way I had done so, with so much obvious hatred and ferocity. I wondered if she would even be willing to talk to me.



I started to move toward her and had even turned off my sabers when I felt more Sith coming and sent feelings of sorrow to my sister, hoping that she would understand that I took no joy in killing, just as my Master and Goddess to no joy in it. That was a big part of what separated us from the Sith, that we killed when we had to, not because it was fun.

As I turned back and reactivated my sabers I saw what looked like regular troops. I smiled as this should prove no challenge in the least. They started to fire at us, obviously just hoping to slow us down. We started blocking shots and Goddess in particular was deflecting them back at them, killing a few. I on the other hand took a much more direct approach as soon as I noticed that Addie had moved to help my sister. I charged, blocking any thing that came at me and swept in among them where they could no longer fire and soon there were twenty more bodies to join the others.



I didn’t even dare to look at my sister as more came around the corner and continued to fire. I felt the others coming up behind me and charged again. They were all dead before my companions came around the corner. I stood among the bodies sweaty and with blood on me in numerous places. My sister’s initial expression was one of horror, I hoped at the thought that I had been hurt, and not that she thought that I was a monster. Again I sent feelings of remorse and sorrow to her, letting her know I took no joy in this then I turned to Addie. “Do you have any idea where we’re going?”


She nodded and started to walk, “The top.” was all she said. It was all she had to say, and I knew we were in for a very long night.







* * *









It took the rest of the night. There were traps, as well as soldiers. And Sith. There were many Sith. We were all wondering where whoever their Master was had found all of them as we hadn’t been able to recruit even a fourth of the number that we fought on our way up.



We finally had a pause as we reached a huge door at the top. We figured it led to the Master’s quarters, which meant much more dangerous opposition. However since the four of us had managed to kill well over four hundred Sith we weren’t too worried at this point. Some had been skilled, but they still fell quickly. It was almost as if they were meant to slow us down. The soldiers had been a joke more than anything else. My sister had had the most difficulty, but one of us had only had to help her twice, which in and of itself was surprising. I hadn’t really realized how much she had grown up, nor how much she had learned.



“Addie, what do you think is behind that door?” Rabé asked. We paused to catch our breath, as well as drink some water and eat a few ration bars. We also took a few amphetamines that Goddess had been loath to offer, but given the situation we all needed them badly.



Addie just looked at us, obviously stretching out with the Force. From her perplexed expression it was obviously nothing that she had been expecting. “There are just two beings in there, at least that’s all I can sense. . .” She looked over at Goddess who just nodded in agreement on that. “They are immensely powerful each of them however. We are looking at a massive fight ahead of us.” She looked pointedly at Rabé here, and her expression grew worried. As did mine. If it was something that would worry my Master this much, then it was well worth being worried about.



I stretched out with the Force, and felt great evil and malice. And power, there was much power on the other side of this door. I finished my ration bar in silence and wondered why the two beings inside waited, why they gave us a chance to recuperate at all. However I wasn’t about to look a gift bantha in the mouth. I turned and looked at Goddess. She looked tired, obviously the worst off of the bunch. She still hadn’t had time to get over what had happened to her on Mon Calamari. I was worried about her, very worried. However she grinned at me, obviously hoping to reassure me.



I looked at my sister then. She was tired, sweaty and still not really looking at me. I sighed and went over to her a little ways off from Addie and Goddess.



“What’s wrong Allie?” The look on her face as she finally looked at me nearly broke my heart. It was as if she barely recognized me, and didn’t care to.



“You enjoyed it. . .” It was an accusation, pure and simple. “You’ve been enjoying killing these Sith. They’re beings too you know.” She looked up at me with tears in her eyes, wanting to go back to before she had seen this, or experienced it. I wished she could as well. There wasn’t anything I could do about that however.


“I enjoyed the fighting Allie, not the killing. I have never enjoyed that, and I never will. This will haunt my dreams for a long time, as I know it will yours-“ And she cut me off.



“DON”T LIE TO ME!! YOU ENJOYED IT! I felt it. . .” She trailed off with this last and looked at me with tears running down her cheeks. “You can’t lie to me Tristan. You of all people should know that.” I felt the stares of Addie and Goddess on my back, but I ignored them.



I bent down next to her and wiped the tears from her eyes. She flinched at my touch initially, which hurt me far more than what she had said. “Allie, I’m not lying. You of all people should know that I don’t lie, ever.” I sighed and sat down next to her, leaning on the wall. “I felt a satisfaction in being the victor, of being the one who survived, but not in the killing my opponent. But would you have had me maim them and then leave them to die of their wounds? Or have left them alive and then possibly had one of them kill Goddess, Addie or you? If that had happened I couldn’t live with myself sis.” My sorrow at having had to kill the Sith was apparent, as it was coming from Addie and Goddess. However there was also an acceptance in them that my sister and I did not have. They had been in the situation many times, and had learned to accept that you sometimes had to kill, and that it was the only way to survive.



What I was getting from my sister scared me. She was the one who had enjoyed it. Especially when she had saved my life. A Sith had gotten behind me while I was engaged with three others, and I would have surely been dead, but she had attacked him viciously, and he had not stood a chance. I hadn’t had the time to thank her then, and I didn’t do so right now. “Allie, are you sure it’s me that enjoyed killing them? Do you think it might have been you?”

She looked as if I had slapped her, and she rounded on me and pointed her saber at me, “Take that back right now.” She had a slightly crazy glint in her eye, and I knew I had made a tactical mistake in saying that.



“What’ll you do? Kill me?” And she looked as if I had slapped her again. She looked down at her saber in her hand and dropped it, the blade automatically turning off with the pressure on the activation stud gone. She started to cry again. I reached up and pulled her onto my lap and into my arms. “It’s ok sis, it’ll all be ok.” I whispered to her as she sobbed in my arms. I just held her, knowing that Addie and Goddess would watch out for us as long as needed. They still wanted me to hurry however.



When she stopped crying she looked at me and whispered, “You’re right. I did enjoy it, and I know it’s not the way we do things, but I couldn’t help myself. It scared me at first, especially when I saw you fighting for your life, not just training. I didn’t think I could bring myself to do it, and then I found I liked it Tristan. I actually liked it. . .” She trailed off and the look on her face, and the emotions pouring off her were hope, and fear. Hope that I would understand and be able to help, fear that I wouldn’t want anything to do with her. That she had somehow perverted herself in such a manner that I wouldn’t want to even acknowledge her as my sister.



I looked at her, sending out feelings of love and understanding. I pulled her to me and kissed her on the cheek. “I understand all to well Allie, I was the same way at first. All of the Dark Lords and Ladies were when they were apprentices. It’s something that you have to get past, and realize that it’s better not to kill, but to be willing to if you have no choice. It’s part of how they decide if you are truly material that can be allowed to become one of them. Otherwise you’re a Sith. They love killing, and that’s the main difference between us. We kill when we have to, they kill whenever they can.” I looked into her eyes, “And you have passed this most important of tests Allie. You have acquitted yourself like a true apprentice today, and you couldn’t have made me prouder of you.” I smiled my lopsided grin at her, and hoped she would at least be able to continue.

She looked at me for a moment, then buried her face in my chest, and just held on to me for a moment. “You really think so Tristan?” She asked, the sound muffled by my chest.



I kissed her on the top of her head and said, “I know so Allie. C’mon, let’s go get this over with so we can go home.” I stood her on her feet and then got up and walked over to Addie and Goddess. My sister called her lightsaber to her hand, and I drew mine from my belt where I had replaced them.

“We’re ready Master,” was all I said. It was all that was needed. She nodded and turned to Goddess, and they each drew their sabers again and turned towards the door that was between us and what we needed to do to get home.






* * *





As the door opened and we caught a glimpse of what was beyond the doors it shocked all of us. It was completely dark inside, and the feeling of evil and power was magnified threefold. I was beginning to wonder if even the four of us could take on the lesser of the two, much less both of them at the same time when a light flared to life, and revealed our enemies.



One was a jet black Wookiee, with a cloak that seemed to absorb light. In his hand was a deep red lightsaber, the hilt completely enveloped in his massive hand. His hand without a saber had his claws out, and a bloodlust was very obvious in his eyes. This was the lesser of the two, and the power emanating from him was frightening enough.



The other, obviously the Master was a Noghri. This shocked me to the core. I had never even heard of a Force sensitive Noghri, and they were already deadly enough fighters as it was. She, or at least I thought it was a she, was dressed in a dark purple tunic worked with silver thread in what appeared to be archaic runes, a pair of black nerf leather pants and boots each with what looked like platinum buckles in the appropriate places and a black cloak with red shimmersilk lining. In her hand was by far the most difficult weapon of the Jedi or the Sith to Master. She held a dark purple lightstaff, it almost seemed to fade into a intense red at the core. It was a very hypnotic weapon. The handle was matte black and almost disappeared against her clothing. The power that was felt in the Wookiee paled in comparison to that coming off of this Noghri.

We stood there, waiting for one of the two to speak, which neither of them deigned to do. It was almost as if they didn’t even feel the need to acknowledge us, despite the fact we had just cleared their academy of Sith. The sheer contempt that was coming off of both of them was enough to make me furious, and I felt my feeling mirrored in those of my sister. Addie was by far the calmest of us, but she was by no means happy. Nor was Goddess, any signs of tiredness had evaporated, and she was completely prepared.



Finally the Noghri spoke in the raspy voice that was so common to that species. “What brings you mighty warriors here? Surely it is not our death you seek. If it is, that is not what you will find here. Your own doom is all that there is in this room.” Her grin at this was a truly hideous thing. And the malicious gleam in her yellow eyes showed how far she had fallen into the darkside. She was truly a Master.

Addie replied, “It wasn’t your death that we came seeking, but that is what you have brought on yourselves.” She made no move forward however, obviously loath to fight either one of these powerful beings. I was still utterly shocked at the sheer power. The Wookiee’s power was the rival of even the strongest Dark Lord or Lady. Even Jedi-Mind-Trick would have even been hard pressed to have an edge against him. That just made the Noghri that much more frightening.



“What are you called that we may know who we kill?” Goddess spoke for the first time in a while. I was slightly surprised at her words however. What difference if we knew their names? Surely we were going to die in this room. I would be no help in this fight, nor would my sister. However I knew already how this was going to be divided. My sister and I would try and take the Wookiee, and Addie and Goddess would take the Noghri. I would have felt better about it had they kept any of the sabers of the fallen Sith, however Addie stood by her choice for a single saber, as did Goddess. They both believed that a true Master would need nothing more than that and the Force. I hoped they were right.



The Noghri laughed at her. This was not a pleasant sound by any means. “My apprentice, Darth Hallén, he is more than a match for any of you, I assure you of that. I am Darth Sœlari. A nice play on words no? Seeing as I bring nothing but darkness wherever I go. . .” She trailed off and smiled again. They then moved forward in unison.



I nodded at Addie, and joined my sister as we moved towards Darth Hallén. The Wookiee snarled at us, and brandished his saber, obviously wanting one of us to attack so he could show us how futile that endeavor would prove. I was only too happy to oblige as I felt my sister go to the other side of the Wookiee and prepared to attack. I couldn’t allow Hallén to pay attention to her though, so I stabbed quickly with my right hand saber at the beast’s stomach, and swung at his head. He ducked the slash at his head, and parried my stab, and quickly responded to my sister’s swipe at his legs by jumping. It was then that I realize how much trouble we were in.



I quickly reversed the momentum of my saber that was over the Wookiee’s head and came down at an angle with it, hoping to surprise him. I didn’t succeed; he simply blocked after his parry and kicked out at my sister. I heard his foot connect and saw her go flying away, and not getting up. She rolled slightly but was obviously in great pain. I winced and drew off of her pain to strengthen me. I also fed off of my rage and increased my attack. I brought the saber that had been parried back across at his stomach and Force pushed with my other hand, hoping to at least catch him off guard. I didn’t again. He blocked and grinned at me, his fangs dripping as he simply absorbed the push and brought his hand down, claws extended, trying to slice me into bloody ribbons.



I wasn’t about to have any of that, and moved my saber in place to cut of his hand as his hand descended and I slashed at his knees, making him jump and forcing his hand down. He howled in pain as his hand was severed, and it fell to the ground a short distance away. However that just made him mad. He charged me, his saber in more places than it had any right to be. I was being forced back towards a wall with each swing and it was all I could do to defend myself. I knew I was about to die, but then Hallén stopped moving, and I wondered what had happened. Then I saw the red saber that had sprouted through his chest and smiled knowing that my sister had finally rejoined the fight. The Wookiee slumped to his knees and swung again at me feebly and I blocked with ease, I then took his head off as a sign of mercy, not wanting him to suffer more than was necessary.



I finally had the time to look over at the other fight, which was nothing but a blur of light. The staff was everywhere, as were Sœlari’s feet. I saw Goddess get kicked in the stomach and barely block a swipe at her head, while Addie was having to block an attack almost the exact same as the staff had been spun above Sœlari’s head in a hope to decapitate both of the Dark Ladies. She then reversed her attack and went low almost instantly.



I was mesmerized by this display and was determined to go and help. It was then that I saw Addie break off and come running towards us. She turned off her saber, grabbed my sister, and ran for the door. I turned to go and help Goddess, but she yelled, “She’s too strong, I’ll hold her as long as I can. Run.” I stood there rooted to the spot. Addie called for me to come, but I couldn’t make myself move. My friend was going to pay for this with her life, that much was obvious and I didn’t know if I could accept that.


Finally being able to move my feet I charged ahead but was abruptly halted as Addie used the Force to stop me from going that way and began to pull me to her. “Think of your sister,” she begged. I stopped fighting at that. I watched as Goddess struggled to hold Sœlari at bay, the staff a twirling blur of light, and Goddess was obviously beginning to wear down. I felt tears running down my cheeks as I was pulled to the door.



It was then that the blow fell. It just took off her hand, but that sealed it. The pain and shock slowed her too much to block the next attack that was at her legs, which took them off at the knees followed by a quick strike that decapitated her. I was unable to move for a moment as I watched my friends mutilated body fall to the ground. Then I ran. I turned and ran, and caught up with Addie and my sister, the tears falling down my face telling the story.

Let me know what you think, I look forward to knowing.
