A/N: Her name, Enna Lara means Light Protector. His name, Darth Maul, means the opposite.
Once upon a time there was a young Zabrak. His name was Iri, after his home planet. He was born to a large, loving family. There was, however, one problem in his young life. Darth Sidious had taken notice of him. He had kept a close eye on the young boy, clouding his path to the force with the ways of the Sith. And when the boy was old enough, Darth Sidious struck, sending in his most ruthless agent to torture and murder the family of the young boy, while his innocent eyes were forced to watch. After that, he was taken into the folds of the Sith. Iri however, had other plans. He did not hate, he did not give, as Darth Sidious had expected, he remained a kind, loving boy and, as such, left the Sith, for now. He traveled the galaxies and struggled, working odd jobs, but never gave in to hate or anger, he was not a violent person, but he had begun moving things with his mind. It was something he practiced at with his limited spare time. During his travels, he met a human girl, on a ship. Her name was Enna Lara. She was the engineer, a bright happy, bubbly girl who always had a smile. He worked hard to get a job on the ship and finally managed to convince the captain to let him join the crew. He had to get to know the girl. And get to know her, he did. He, a poor orphaned horned workman, and she, a beautiful engineer, were in love. Iri was madly in love with her and would throw away any money he got, buying trinkets and baubles for her, to earn her love. Little did he know, he already had it. Iri had never thought of himself as attractive, his red skin and horns seemed to frighten some while his kind yellow eyes drew others in. His lean, muscled and well worked exterior could woo the ladies while his calloused hands would chase some away. Enna on the other hand, was attractive to almost all. Her short cut auburn hair and sweet hazel eyes were framed beautifully by her elfin features. Her short thin body was alluring but her personality was what won the heart of most. He would spend hours talking to her, listening to her sing, listening to her talk about anything and everything. But darkness struck once more, as Darth Sidious, not one to give up so easily, caught wind of the romance. He once again sent his darkest and most cruel Jedi to kill all on the ship and to torture The young Miss Lara and to force Iri to watch. Once more, Iri was put to the test, the ring he'd bought to propose to her taking up little space in his pocket, he was forced to watch as the one he loved most in the world was beat, tortured, raped, and eventually killed. Once again, he was welcomed into the fold of the Sith and this time, his heart was so broken, it could no longer offer innocent light to others. His eyes, the kind yellow brightness that had once welcomed others to him were clouded and darkened with perpetual hate and they turned partially red. He took up a weapon and became apprentice to none other than Darth Sidious himself. The cruel man had taken the broken Iri and had twisted him with lies, had convinced him that it was the Jedi who were responsible for Enna's death. His heart had been manipulated, warped and crushed beyond repair and was, at last defeated. His family had been taken and he had been hurt by that but he had overcome it but now, he'd offered himself completely to Enna and she was taken from him, her screams were to forever echo in his mind. when he was at last considered an official Jedi Knight for the Sith, he was asked to take a name. Something that he would carry as a badge of pride to show that he was Sith. He thought long and hard about how to begin his new life, no longer young little Iri, Darth Maul was forged from blood. And blood was to be his revenge.
