	Jinngerbread – I think that phrase he uses pretty much sums up Qui-Gon Jinn. I loved when he said that as well. Stubborn man but he does what he thinks is right, no matter what the cost. I'm glad you are still with me after all this time. There's an update coming up and I've gotten most of the dialogue done for the next post as well. Thanksgiving was very fruitful! wolf_kenobi – Yes, it's been updated. Took me a long time. That's because I get easily side-tracked with other stories and hobbies. Bad me… Yes, the Jedi are going to try to manipulate Palpatine. But manipulating the manipulator, should be fun. Qui-Gon is willing to listen and be bait if the Force wills it. It doesn't look like it will end well. However, this is not ROTS! Things will be a little different. As for trusting Sle'fey, Obi-Wan doesn't know it but the Bothan will do what he thinks is right for the Jedi Order, even if it's betraying them all. You'll just have to see how far it will go. Thanks for reading! Valairy_Scot – I'm glad you caught on that Obi-Wan is trying to regain some kind of balance but he's having an awful hard time of it. He's been hit with so much and he's only expecting more betrayal as things go along. Qui-Gon, on the other hand, has also had betrayal but it was long ago and he's come to grips with it. It actually took him a long time but now he's confident again in his role plus his faith in the Force never wavered. LOL. Thanks! I do enjoy silliness once in a while. It's a great way to clean the palate before plunging back into despair. Thanks for reading. leiamoody – Four years – it has been a long time. Actually the problem isn't the length of the story, either but that after 4 years, I tend to forget things… oops. So when I update, I do a lot of rereading the pertinent parts, just so I don't have plot holes or contradict myself. This is a pretty radical AU. I've tried to keep the characters true while still changing quite a bit of the universe. I also like AUs. That's pretty much all I write and I have a lot more stories waiting for time to write them. Thanks so much! I love writing description and I like to twist words around to mean other things, if possible. However, sometimes the language just fails me or maybe I fail the language. I'm not sure which. Sle'fey is actually one of my favorite characters in this – sneaky, underhanded, loyal, manipulative and yet still trying to do the best he can without losing himself to the Dark. He's done a lot of bad things and he realizes it. I don't think he sleep well at night, either. At least he has Xacor to keep him straight! Thanks so much. LuvEwan – It has been a long time til the last post. I do tend to get sidetracked with other stories. I will be updating this one soon and then another post. Then I'm going to finish For the love of a son because it has languished far too long. Thanks about the language but you are the queen when it comes to brilliant language use. I adore your stuff. I just wish you had more time these days to write fanfic (hint – Cadence rolls….) In a way, both of them are reacting to their own characteristic style of doing things. Qui-Gon would be selfless if he thought the Force willed it, no matter who got hurt. And poor Obi-Wan is so exhausted and angry that he just needs to find time to regain himself. Unfortunately, he won't get it. Thanks. I'm thrilled that you like it! Kitara – LOL. Gotta love torturing the poor boys. Obi-Wan, especially is a lot of fun to do. He's just such a stickler that you want to shake up his world. Thanks. Musing – Indeed, Obi is having a crisis of faith. Everything he believed in has been turned around. Now he doesn't know what to believe and he's so exhausted and angry, he's not sure if he can even believe in himself. LOL on sticking it to Palpy. We shall see… Thanks. bek – It was meant to sound like similar roles in TPM. Since they are the same characters even though in vastly different universes, I thought they should act like themselves from the canon universe. Within reason, of course. Qui-Gon knowing what he's getting into, I think he has a good idea. As for Obi-Wan, I think you might be right – especially if Qui-Gon does agree to going along with the Jedi. Obi-Wan has always been very protective of Qui-Gon and I don't think he's going to change now. Thanks so much for reading. Master_Noi – I actually used one of my greatest fears, being buried alive for Obi. But I thought they should have different fears since the cell amplifies the things they fear the most. LOL on Atel. There are a number of people who would agree with you about Atel. She has been misled, sometimes she allowed herself to be misled, too. You are right. It is very hard for Atel to see everything she's believed in coming undone and having her choices hurt the one she loves as a father. LOL on Qui-Gon's wife being unhappy about his choices. I'm sure she'd had lots of experience with him doing something self-sacrificing and not thinking of his own family first but she also realizes that a Jedi's thinking isn't the same as others raised in a family setting. As for the rest of the Jedi, we'll have to see if they can help. Thanks so much for reading. Leona – LOL, yes more. Poor Obi-Wan is exhausted and confused and angry. It isn't helping that Qui-Gon is being his stubborn self but that's the man we love! As for getting worse…. oh, yes. It is going to get worse. Thanks! Kivas – Qui-Gon is certainly being his normal stubborn self. Gotta love him for that! Thanks. Posting will be coming up fairly soon. daminafenderson – WOW, that's a lot of reading. I'm up to 280 pages and that's with smaller type, too. Thanks about writing Obi-Wan well. Honestly, when I started this story, it was supposed to be about Qui-Gon and what happened to him after he was dismissed from the Jedi. But Obi-Wan just came in and took it over. As for his loss of faith and innocence, he needed to lose that in order to regain his life. He really should have gone with Qui-Gon and it would have been a much different story. But since the Force insisted that he remain, the Dark side is revealed and the Jedi have a chance to make things right. Thanks about heart wrenching. I wanted people to identify with Obi-Wan to a great extent. In the movies, he's the calm center in all the chaos and he's that here as well. Thanks about being a devotee. That's lovely to say! I know how this ends and where each character ends up. I hope that I will continue to deliver the kind of story that keeps you coming back. Thanks so much! Captain_Observant – I never give my guys a break (or my readers! ). What would be the fun in that! LOL. At least in Attraction, Qui-Gon got to kiss a bunch of women. Does that count??? LOL. Thanks about the great job. I love writing Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. They seem such a great pair with their differing viewpoints and reactions. Poor Obi-Wan doesn't know what to do next. He's lost all faith in the Jedi and he's stuck there, wounded and listening to Qui-Gon being selfless again. I think once he gets over his anger and sense of betrayal, he might regain his center and allow the Force to guide him. But he needs time. I'm not sure he has it. Thanks so much! Tahi – LOL. Bookmarking is good but I'm going to be updating soon. LOL. Glad you're reading. And it was really lovely to meet you! Ocelotl_Nesto – LOL. You are going to have to wait a while longer. The Maul/Anakin fight (if there will be one ) won't be for a few posts yet. Thanks for reading. -----signature----- Betrayal - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b1/10935143 updated 6/28/08 Fragments of Illusion- http://boards.theforce.net/bts/b10475/28456473 updated 8/16/08 Freeze frame - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b10476/27820434 Master to jedidas3 Impeach Bush!

	Okay a couple of things. If you requested PMs for updates and you haven't opened your last PM, I will have to take you off the list. Sorry but I'm getting close to that upper unopened PM limit for the boards so I can't really afford to send them to people who haven't opened them. Sorry! This post is a transition one but has a few nuggets in it. The next one is much longer. I've finished the dialogue on that one so all I need to do is fill in between the dialogue. This can take a little or a lot of time. Then I'll be finishing up another story (For the love of a son) which has languished far too long. Once that's complete, I'm going to focus on this story solely until it's done. My readers have waited far too long for the ending. So I'm going to try and deliver it sooner than <sigh> later. You are all wonderful for sticking with this for so long! Darkness soaked into the Force like spilled blood, black and thick and rich with portends. Darth Sidious stood at the viewport of his vast office, staring out into the never-still night, and drew in a deep breath. He could feel the dark energies coalescing, the shadowy futures narrowing into paths he and the Sith masters before him had so carefully designed years ago. The end was coming. He could almost taste it. Turning toward the glowing towers of the Jedi Temple, looking at that unsullied vista in the distance, he could not help but smile at the irony. They were bringing about their own destruction, appearing to be pure and noble of heart those purveyors of peace and justice, and yet the nertl-slime were harboring darkness in their midst. No matter what road they chose, they were doomed. Yet there was a slight problem in all this and Sidious had to admit that it was unsettling. There was still no word from the Jedi Temple. Indeed, his secretary had been trying to reach the Council for some time without success. The scum would have to answer him and soon. They could not snub the Supreme Chancellor for long, not without serious consequences. Their appropriations were up again in the Senate Oversight Committee and when the members of that august body heard that he'd been ignored, it might be enough to get the Senate to accept additional dismissals and further fund reductions. It might also silence some of the Senators who had objected to the last set of sanctions - not that it mattered. His super-majority made it almost impossible for anything to pass into law without his approval. The few protesters, those pathetic insects, would soon know what it was to oppose him. The list of those begging for destruction grew longer every day. Sidious had to admit that he was becoming impatient, though. The final act of this holodrama was about to begin, years of planning and manipulation and death but it had not been enough, not nearly enough to satisfy him. He longed to cut the Jedi down, to destroy every last one - those weak compassionate fools, to shred their bodies into meat and entrails and let the hawkbats fight over the decaying corpses until there was nothing left but brown stains and bone. But tiresome as it might be, he knew he had to wait until they were few and helpless before he could strike. It would be soon, though, and then it would be a glorious orgy of torture and death. The ultimate destruction of his hated enemy, the Jedi Order, was almost at hand. However, there was a small matter of Tharten's part in all this. The Council's reaction to that buffoon, Zaros, was of little concern, almost laughable. They were playing right into his hands with their feeble attempts at rebellion; their reactions would only fuel the fire that would consume them in time. But Tharten had not contacted him. Even knowing his wishes, she had thought to defy him. Or was it betrayal? It didn't matter what she had done. Unlikely as it was, she could have told the Council about Darth Sidious, about her connections with a Sith Lord. But she had no knowledge of his true identity and even if she had found out somehow, it was of no concern. Being a Sith was not a crime, even if they did stumble across the truth. Legally they would have no say in the matter. He could even claim that they were maligning him, trying to impugn his honor and bring down the Republic by attacking the Supreme Chancellor and his office. Enjoying the malicious pull of skin across his mouth, feeling utter contempt for those who would think to oppose him, he smiled at their folly. The Jedi were doomed either way. He was looking forward to their final eradication. Taking another deep breath and letting it out slowly, he turned to ponder his other problem, Darth Maul. That damn fool apprentice of his was late with his report. This was insolence. When Maul returned to Coruscant, it was plain that he would need to be chastised for this - thoroughly chastised. Vibroshivs were always a useful tool and a layer of Naboo sea salt pushed into the wounds and left to bubble there would add just the right amount of prolonged agony. Maul did scream most beautifully. It would serve him right; this audacity of his apprentice demanded no less than the most inventive torment. Just the thought of those choked cries made Sidious feel better. There was a soft chime and he looked over to see that Maul had finally answered. He waited a heartbeat, then two more before turning on the commlink. The Zabrek was kneeling, seemingly penitent. His apprentice might be an animal but he understood keeping his Master waiting was not wise. Sidious took his time, sauntering over to his desk and sitting down, brushing off a few microscopic particles of dust that had dared to settle onto the mirrored surface. Then staring unblinking at the image, his voice low and full of malice, Sidious said coolly, "Lord Maul." Flinching back ever so slightly, apparently recognizing the promise of torments to come, Maul lifted his head. "My Master, I have reached Naboo and begun to eliminate the Bendu scum as per your orders. The first of the killings is now complete." His eyes narrowing in threat, Sidious glared at his apprentice, and after a long pointed moment, asked, "Was there a problem?" Swallowing hard, Maul growled out, "No, my Master. The destruction of the vermin took longer than expected." As he continued, he grew confident again. His mouth was gleaming pleasure-wet and his yellow-stained eyes glowed with satisfaction, "But it is done." Sidious leaned back, pressing his fingers together. If some of those mindless Senators had been present, they would have seen their Supreme Chancellor giving careful consideration to the problem at hand but he knew Maul would understand the gesture; the Dark Lord of the Sith was unhappy. "Longer? That is unlike you, boy." At least Maul was not a blind fool. He rose up, standing there with arms folded, staring at his Master, feral eyes turning into slits, almost daring Sidious to do his worst. He must have known that his fate was sealed no matter what he said or did. After all, over the years, Sidous had learned to take great care in drawing out long, wire-fine agony, eagerly watching his victims shriek themselves hoarse as they begged for death. But begging only meant that they were still alive. And alive meant that there was more pain, more wanton pleasure to be drawn from the screaming meat under his control. Merciless, inventive and thoroughly knowledgeable from years of experience, he knew just how far he could go before his prey drown in their own blood. Maul had been his most useful subject: strong, willing to learn even at the price of agony, hatred growing with every session until it seemed that the universe was filled with it. Sidious knew that it was only a matter of time before his apprentice tried to kill him; he was looking forward to the attempt. "The Bendu had a double-bladed saber and was well trained." The black-red tattoos stretched as Maul bared his teeth, sneering amusement. "She screamed long and hard when I gutted her." Then he waited a heartbeat before he said, "Master." So his apprentice thought the time for rebellion was close. Foolish pup. Trying not to smile at Maul's audacity, he said, "Tread carefully, boy. My temper grows short with your insolence. See that you remember your place or I may have to give you additional lessons in that regard." "Forgive me, my Lord." Even the apology was slow in coming. Things were looking up. It had been a while since an apprentice had dared to attempt assassination. Sidious remembered his last; the agony had resonated in the Force for days after his death. "Send me her hand and the saber. I will add them to my collection." Maul should have known better than to think he could succeed in overthrowing Sidious. Killing is a fine art and one that required just the right touch. His apprentice never understood that gouging out bloody entrails was not the same as getting the victim to cut his own throat. Maul's brutality was useful at the moment but once they had succeeded in destroying the Jedi, Sidious would need to find a new apprentice, one with more finesse. But for now, he merely asked, "And the reaction of the Force users?" "They scamper like slet-beetles when the hive is destroyed." Maul's face twisted in derision, then bowed his head, and let his hands fall to his side, seeming to acknowledge his submission to Sidious. "I left her body on the far side of Naboo. As you predicted, they have sent operatives to investigate the murder, leaving their Sanctuary unguarded." "You see, my apprentice, how easily they are distracted." Sidious let himself enjoy the moment. His plans were going well. "I still have much to learn, Master." Maul bowed with all obvious contrition. Sidious knew that it was only pretense. Although he had also played this game with Darth Plagueis before he'd killed the old man, Sidious was much more adept at false humility that Maul could ever be. "I will reach Jinn's farm tomorrow, gut the harlot and her whelp and then return to Coruscant... "his apprentice hesitated, "unless you want me to kill Windu." Sidious thrust his face forward, almost into the blue-hazed transmission. With venom in his throat and slitted eyes, Sidious spat out, "Do not ask again. Windu will be dealt with in time but not by you." Maul flinched back, his eyes blinking terror for a moment before he regained control. "I will not be pleased if Windu dies in the next few days. Am I clear on this?" The toad sounded almost humble. "Very clear, Master." But Darth Sidious was not fooled. His apprentice was becoming more of a liability by the moment. "Good. Contact me when you are on route back to Coruscant. We will have much to discuss when you arrive." He said, slowly, distinctly, "Lord Maul." Reaching over and cutting the transmission, Sidious sat back and pondered what he would do next. This was not Maul's usual style. Ever since he'd visited Tyrannus on Geonosis, he'd been not a little insolent and more sure of himself than in times past. Sidious was certain they were conspiring against him. Tyrannus was the bigger threat but Maul had his uses. Separately or together, they could be an obstacle to his plan for domination of the galaxy. However, he had already planned for their eventual demise. He merely needed to begin putting his strategy into motion. But he would not stand for this presumption from Maul. His apprentice needed to be reminded of his place. Prolonged agony and just the right touch of hatred would bring him back into line; perhaps Tyrannus could use a reminder as well. When he had taken care of Tharten and her followers, it would be time to look for another apprentice. Among the Jedi scum there were few worthy of being a Sith but one stood out. Kenobi was disgustingly lightside but he was strong in the Force and a fine swordsman. And the last time he'd met him, the Knight had been exhausted and not a little angry; there had been a touch of delicious darkness polluting his spirit. With Jinn dead and the Temple in upheaval, Kenobi might be a possibility, an appropriate candidate to mold into a Sith. He would have to probe further, capture the man when he was most vulnerable and torture him until he accepted the darkness as his own. Kenobi was strong enough and stubborn enough to last a long, long time under agony's torment. He looked forward to the challenge. And absurd as the idea might be, if the man dared refuse the honor of becoming a Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi would end his days in a fiery ecstasy of pain and desecration. Either way, Sidious would make sure that Kenobi screamed - beautifully. -----signature----- Betrayal - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b1/10935143 updated 6/28/08 Fragments of Illusion- http://boards.theforce.net/bts/b10475/28456473 updated 8/16/08 Freeze frame - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b10476/27820434 Master to jedidas3 Impeach Bush!

	There is so much that worries me about this post, I don't know where to begin. I think Obi-Wan was justified in feeling a little hopeless at it being Palpatine who is the Sith master, especially if he holds such a control in the Senate, and the Senate seems to have a choke-hold on the Jedi Order right now. Then again, maybe it is time for the Jedi Order to step away from the Senate. I don't like that Maul has struck the Bendu and is on his way to Jinn's house. Hmmm, and now Sidious has his sights on Obi-Wan. In Obi-Wan's state of mind, that is not a good thing. There is so much that can go wrong right now. -----signature----- For Such a Time as This ( 08/16/08) A Shrouded Path (08/31/08)

	Oooh, as Sidious said, a little darkness can be delicious. Another fluid and beautifully written post--the first line really blew me away. I love when you write from Sidious' point of view. I thought it was interesting and more than a little funny that even the biggest evil doer has to worry about backstabbing apprentices and drama. The punishment Sidious already has dreamed up for Maul made my skin crawl. Yikes. Sometimes, with all his amusing slyness, you forget how incredibly twisted he is, but you've given us several reminders here. Sidious wants Obi-Wan as his next apprentice---I'm not going to lie and pretend I'm not intrigued. Fantastic post and it does exactly what it should...leave us all wantin' more. -----signature----- So it was Anakin's butt after all.

You leave poor Obi-Wan alone! Hubris has been the downfall of many. Is it too much to hope the same will apply to Sidious, dianethx? Or that Maul will get his butt kicked? Oooh, the suspense!

	Hello, Diane! Just caught up with the 2 last sections. Wow, but Obi doesn't trust Sle'fey or Xacor any! I totally get why he's bitter, feeling used, and is mistrusting...but it's very sad to see him on the brink of utter collapse! Your writing continues to be frighteningly beautiful. I am very concerned about what Sidious is going to do...especially to the Order, the Bendu, and Obi! If Maul kills Qui's family, I'll be heartbroken! More, please!

	"I still have much to learn, Master." Maul bowed with all obvious contrition. Sidious knew that it was only pretense. Although he had also played this game with Darth Plagueis before he'd killed the old man, Sidious was much more adept at false humility that Maul could ever be. "I will reach Jinn's farm tomorrow, gut the harlot and her whelp and then return to Coruscant... " Not good! Windu and Anakin were on their way to the farm, right? They will get Qui-Gon’s family to safety? When he had taken care of Tharten and her followers, it would be time to look for another apprentice. Among the Jedi scum there were few worthy of being a Sith but one stood out. Kenobi was disgustingly lightside but he was strong in the Force and a fine swordsman.

Kenobi was strong enough and stubborn enough to last a long, long time under agony's torment. He looked forward to the challenge. I sincerely hope that Sidious is just being arrogant in his daydreaming and that Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon surprise him with that old Jinn/Kenobi teamwork. -----signature----- Update 5/26/08- Chapter 39- Life Beyond the Code (Obi-Wan/Anakin) - http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/20820324 Update 9/3/08- Chapter 26 - Not Myself - (Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon/Oc's) - Before the Saga Update 9/3/08 - Part 6 - Strength to Begin Ane
