Thread: Lessons in the Dark  [ Jagd & Bear ]

Good. You are beginning to ask meaningful questions. Intones the Sith appreciatively of the young padawan. Again his head turns a little more. Enough so that she is in his periphery not that it was necessary. He could feel the struggle within her, that desire to kill. It was enough to tell him all he needed about where she was. Then he went back to looking out the window. Your first question is poorly chosen. Why should I have killed you? What difference does it make? It is a poor question because all that matters is that you are not dead. The Sith nods sharply once and finally turns around. The long black heavy skirt swirls only slightly due to its weight and the accoutrements adorning it as he turns to look upon the padawan from behind his armored mask. A hand gestures towards the table. You may sit. I will not kill you either. Unless it is your wish to stand so the option of leaping forward and attacking me remains possible. Fair. I am at least facing you now. There would be some honor in it. Still the armored Sith who had set up a trap which ended up costing the lives of some of his own soldiers made his way closer to her but stopped a short distance away. There it stands and regards her in silence. She was taller than he expected and had modified her robes from the standard Jedi blah affair. Yet what mattered lay within. She had impressed him though. Her fighting style back on Lorahns, her poise now. She was a good person but a terrible Jedi. When he spoke it was with such sharp precision. The words were not minced. He didnt look for politic ways of saying what he clearly believed to be true. Despite the armor it rang with clarity. Not the ramblings of a mad man whose mind had been devoured by darkness You have been lied to. Told a story based on purposeful ignorance, half truths and political expedience. Today is the first day for you to learn the other half. To see which truth you believe is real and which lie you will wrap yourself within to suit your own needs. The helmet inclined downwards to regard her. What I want is to open your eyes to the possibilities of the galaxy. What I am offering is a dialogue that if you employ correctly will make you strong. He raised his hand but instead of him channeling the force, it was a simple gesture for her to withhold her comments for now. No, I am not abducting you to be my student at least not in the traditional sense. Yet I am telling you there is an opportunity before you to learn. The hand lowered in measured state. More so it is as I said a dialogue and you have already made several inquiries of me while I have only made one of you and you responded with terms for an answer so allow me to ask a different question. A more meaningful question. In a sense he admonished himself for asking for something so superfluous as a name. Time was precious and spending it on poorly worded questions was a waste when there were much better things to do. Tell me what are the attributes that make up the Light Side and the Dark Side of the Force? And if that is a touch esoteric simply then the guiding principles of the Jedi Order and those of the Sith as you know them? He gestured to the padawan and back to himself as mention of the two warring factions of force users were named. When you are done then you ask the meaningful question. The statement held gravitas as if there was one true question to be asked. This was not the case but as Sith he had certain image to uphold.
