"Their eyes have not been opened, Exile. 'Til they live as you have, it will be impossible for them to do something as simple as opening their eyes. Truly opening their eyes. But you have so much potential." Kreia closed her eyes as she let her thoughts go to the Exile. "Think of this, Exile – if you were to take even the greatest Jedi or Sith and strip them of their command over the Force, what would they be? They rely on the Force too much. They let it stand in command of them rather than the reversed.
"But you, Exile… You have learned how to live without the Force. Because of this knowledge, you are far greater than they could ever dream to be." Kreia smiled slightly as the Exile walked into the hold.
"Yes… The Jedi and the Sith rely on it too much." the Exile replied as she sat down in front of Kreia.
"They see what you have learned as your failure. What they do not realize is that the fall is their own. It is a quiet thing – to fall. But it is far more terrible to admit it."
"Indeed…"
"Exile… If you are to truly understand… Then you will need the contrast of what they teach. The truth is not known through adherence to a single ideal or belief."
"Yes… "
"Go now. I can expect we will be arriving soon."
The Exile stood and turned towards the hall. As she left, Kreia smiled slightly and closed her eyes in thought.
