She sat on the riverbank watching the water, yet she was not really paying attention to it, or to anything else around her. A light breeze picked up, as the sun shined down upon her, and blew several strands of her dark brown hair into her face. Still she made no move to brush them away. She was lost in her thoughts, and in her loss. Her emotions were overwhelming her.

Aaliyah had once been a Jedi. Yet she did not follow the code to each letter. Even though they had been forbidden to love, she could not help but to fall in love with another Jedi, Aronis. She knew him her entire life, starting out as friends, and then becoming lovers. He was her universe, as she was his. They would have done anything for each other, given up everything if they had to, just to be together. Yet the fates had other plans. What they wanted, the life they had planned together, would not happen, not matter how hard they tried, they could not defeat fate.

Shortly after becoming a Jedi Knight, Aaliyah was sent into what had once been known as Sith Space, on an important mission on behalf of the Jedi Order. After saying her goodbyes to her friends, her Masters, and to Aronis, she was not heard from again…

While on the mission, Aaliyahs ship was attacked by an unknown force. Knowing that her ship would not last for much longer, Aaliyah headed towards the closest planet. However instead of landing, her ship crashed. The planet was an ancient, long forgotten, Sith world. In a large forest, strong in the dark side, the Jedi Knight laid unconscious within her wreckage of a ship. Those who had been with her, had not survived.

Word had reached the Jedi Order several weeks later, and scouting of the area had been done, but it was too late. While unconscious, Aaliyah had been discovered by the Sith that occupied the world she had crashed on, and had taken her. During the first few weeks there she was tortured, and soon after had fallen to the dark side.

The Jedi Masters, the Council, after realizing what had become of the former Jedi Knight, lied to the rest of the Jedi Order and told them, and Aronis, that all had died on the mission, including Aaliyah. For they feared that if Aronis should continue his search for her, and eventually find Aaliyah, that he too would be lost.

As the years past by, while Aronis continued his Jedi training, Aaliyah began a new course of training. She trained to become a Sith. Believing that the Jedi had never even bothered to search for her, thus leaving her in what she had once called hell, she turned her back on them, and on their ways, and let the dark side twist who she once had been.

After more years past, Aaliyah eventually became on of the highest ranked members within this Sith Order, and it was then that the Sith Order began to make their presence known within the galaxy, just as the Jedi Council had feared that they once would…
