This is a story based 3 years before the events of SW:TOR. It is about a teenager whom is required to infiltrate the empire. It features two Osanirans whom are humans with enhanced abilities and elongated life spans. They pretty much all have black hair and blue eyes.
My breathing quickened.
I could feel my heart knocking against my ribs, faster and faster, harder and harder. The air around me suddenly felt much drier and I found myself gasping for breath. Clutching at my chest I collapsed onto the floor, trying to regain control of my body.
The last time I had experienced this was the day thousands of my people died.
Down below lay the planet of Korriban, the planet of the enemy, the planet of the Sith.
The whir of the ship's engine constantly reminded me of the screams of thousands of innocents being slaughtered by the Sith Empire, killed in cold blood. So many had died in vain; family, friends, loved ones.
With each passing second my anxiety grew greater- and with each passing second I descended into the belly of the beast.
Just remember why you are here, this is your one chance to end the war between the Empire and Republic, I thought.
*Peace is a lie.*
Finally getting myself under control, I glanced to my right. At least I wasn't alone, I had her. And she always had me.
Ven'os had her back turned away but I could tell that her face would be covered in tears. She understood what it was like to see everyone dear to you killed in the name of war. Standing up, I walked over to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. Her sobbing stopped as she turned to face me and mustered a weak smile, her bright, blue eyes connecting with mine.
*There is only passion.*
I pulled her into an embrace, "Don't worry, we shall get our revenge."
Barely audible she whispered into my ear, "We have to."
On our own we could be defeated but while we were together we were strong. Hopefully strong enough to succeed.
*Through passion I gain strength.*
The hopes of all our people were riding on us. We had been given the most important task of all: infiltrate the Empire. It wasn't going to be easy but we had each other. With our training, we would work our way through the Sith system to the top.
*Through strength I gain power.*
And when we finally ascended to our peak, we would destroy the Empire from within and avenge those that had been slain in the streets.
*Through power I gain victory.*
Then hopefully our people would finally we free from the tyranny called the Empire.
*Through victory my chains are broken.*
A light thump indicated the ship had landed. With a shivering silence, the door opened. Wiping the tears from our eyes, we stood up and descended the ramp into the unknown. May the force be with us, I muttered…
*The force shall free me.*
