Avena walked down the temple hallway. Her feet sending echoes down the hallway as she walked down it. She walked into the council room. She had been summoned by the council. It was a spectacular view from atop the council tower. You could see for what seemed forever.
"Hello, Avena." Master Kerit said to Avena courteously.
Master Durthik gave Kerit a stern look.
Master Pastroi looked at Avena nervously. He always did that. She never knew why he did that. Maybe because of Avena's one ice blue eye and fire red eye, but everyone else was already used to that.
Avena's parents were a very rare case. They had been married. Avena was their daughter. Master Durthink had been the one most adamantly opposed to letting them marry, but the majority of the council approved it.
"You know why you have been called here." Master Lesin stated bluntly.
Lesin always talked in a monotone. You could nod off listening to him, but after encountering his temper if you do you'll think twice of letting yourself nod off.
Avena nodded. The sith had made a massive move to capture Polis Massa. It was one of the republic's largest bacta maker.
"You are the last of the 6 jedi that will go to Polis Massa to defen-" Lesin said beginning his explanation.
"6 Jedi? That is a bit much, do-" Avena said interrupting.
"Do not interrupt. We are sending that many because there are reports of powerful sith leading the attack. Master Wesich will lead your team." Lesin replied sternly.
Wesich nodded at Avena.
Wesich was a Bothan that was easily excited. Uncommon in a Jedi Master made even more uncommon by his species normal additude.
"Your new apprentice was already talked to. He will go also." Lesin said finishing his explanation.
"Very well master, is that all?" Avena asked.
"Yes, you may go." Lesin said in dismissal.
In space above Polis Massa. On the sith's capital ship.
Colonel Trisdan looked around the bridge. He was the leader's right hand man, but it was unnerving being so close to Lord Asman. Trisdan walked along the edge of the main bridge making sure people were doing their jobs. (Think of a command bridge of a star destroyer)
A soldier comes up to Lord Asman's command chair.
"Lord." the soldier said in a respectful greeting.
"Speak." Asman said.
Asman had a chilling voice. Even from his voice the soldier seemed to shiver in fear. Asman had quite the...reputation.
"I said speak!" Asman repeated in quiet anger.
"Th-The attck on the hangar ba-bay is going badly. Meeting heav-heavy resistance. Wha-" the soldier said stuttering.
Asman turns his chair and looks at the soldier with his ice blue and fire red eyes.
The soldier goes still and then...
"No! Get them away!" the soldier says yelling in fear.
Everyone all around in the command bays looked up at the soldier. The soldier seemd to cower in fear and fight invisible things.
Asman held his hand at the soldier. The soldier's hands went to his throat.
"You have failed me. I don't take failure lightly." Asman said with a chilling finality.
Trisdan normally would have normally objected to this, but no one dared protest against Asman's decisions. If they did...they never make that mistake again.
"No...help...me...anyone...someone." the soldier said begging to anyone and everyone.
Then Asman let go and the soldier's corpse fell to the ground. It then slid off of the ledge on the main bridge and fell into the command pit below making everyone jump away from the dead body.
"Back to work you fools!" Trisdan commanded to wake everyone from their stupor.
Trisdan was also normally kinder to those under his command, but to be respected in Asman's eyes you had to be tough and mean. Being respected by Asman meant having more of a chance of him not killing you.
"Colonel, get someone to clean up the mess. Then, send reinforcements to the hangar bay attackers." Asman said rather calm after what just happened.
"Yes, sir." Trisdan responded without hesitation.
Meanwhile Avena was traveling with the republic's reinforcements in hyperspace to Polis Massa.
