Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, and I do not have an affiliation with Disney or George Lucas. I just write for fun. And I do love Star Wars. One of my favorite character is Darth Maul. If you like Darth Maul as well please enjoy this fantasy story of mine.

Also I want to state that English is my second language. You might find my writing style a little different :)

Thank you for reading and enjoy.

Chapter 1. Kyra

She was moving like a feral cat. Her slender athletic body was dancing around the others. While they all held the usual red colored lightsaber, hers was a double-bladed bright purple, which gave her long raven hair a beautiful dark purple glow. She twisted and turned and jumped over one of the trainee's and got him down on his stomach on the cold hard floor of the training room. When he hit the floor gave a grumbled cry and stayed down. Suddenly another trainee jumped up behind her and almost hit her on the back of her head, but as the trainee was in mid air the raven haired beauty quick as a lightning turned around and force pushed her to the other side of the room, where she laid crumpled at the back wall. Two more trainee came at her fast paced, one is on her left and the other is on her right side. She side stepped the one on the left and got him down on his knees when she force pulled him down, and gave him a side blow with her lightsaber staff. The other one was almost on top of her, barely missing her nose with his training saber, when she suddenly side turned and elbowed him squarely on his face. He fell down and was cradling his battered face. She than did a double back flip in the air and landed smoothly on her feet, barely making a sound on the cold marble floor.

And that's when she looked up and saw him standing with Master on the balcony above the training room.

He was staring right into her dark green eyes with utter curiosity and something else that she could not comprehend at that moment. Is he trying to read my mind? Well she thought for a second, he could try but it would be futile, because nobody could read her mind, even Master has a hard time to understand her sometimes. She was a very powerful force sensitive Grey. She was unique in her way.

The tall dark cloaked figure was standing next to Master. They exchanged a couple of words then he turned and left. Kyra was looking up at Master, and then he beckoned her while he waited at the top of the staircase, which led up to the balcony. With fast paced steps she was at Master's feet bowing down. Her double-bladed lightsaber clipped at the back of her belt.

"Oh my faithful and only Kyra!" Master exclaimed in his raspy deep voice.

"I see you're training got better since the last time." He said. "I always wondered which side you are using while you battering up the young recruits?" "The Light? The Dark?" " You are always an enigma for me my faithful Kyra." He said while looking down on her.

She looked up at her Master and said: " Depends Master". " I could be both at the same time or just one, if I chose to, it's depends on the mood I have that day, my Master." She said smiling.

Master made a small chuckle and gestured her to stand up.

When she stood up, she was an eye level with him; she could look into his dark and empty eyes, where the light had died a very long time ago. But it did not bother her at all, because she was of both sides the Light and the Dark. She was not a Sith apprentice nor a Jedi, rather a very faithful follower of the Force. She did not make a difference between the sides, as she was of both and it balanced her completely. She always thought that only the Force exist as one unit, instead of two separate chambers of the same thing.

But there were some who thought otherwise. Like her Master. He believed that the Dark side was stronger and bolder then the Light side. He cherished the thought that the Dark side would prevail and eventually the Light will turn to the Dark or be destroyed by it.

But Kyra did not want to argue about things like these, especially with Master, so she just stayed quite and kept it for herself.

So she followed him into his chamber, where the walls were almost fifteen feet high and the huge windows were looking out into the planet Kish. It was getting darker outside; the three moons are already visible at the edge of the darkish sky.

"I acquired a new apprentice." Master said while he was looking out the windows.

"He will be my new right hand, a Sith lord who would do my bidding's from now on" He said with a smile.

"He is well trained and a true dark side user. His ruthlessness is one of his unique trademarks, which I really appreciate".

" I have a very important mission for him and for you my Kyra." He stated and turned around looking at her.

"For me, Master?" She asked.

"Yes." He answered. "For you and for my new apprentice Darth Maul".

Kyra looked at her Master with a frown and wanted to know why is he sending her away with this new apprentice called Darth Maul.

"What kind of mission, my Master?" She asked him incredibly.

"This mission, when it goes all that is planed, will be my future and my retribution." He said with a small smile on his pale lips.

"Be ready by dawn, my Kyra. Darth Maul will inform you about the mission." He said swiftly and turned his back at her looking out of the window again, where the three moons glowed higher in the dark sky now.

" As you wish Master." Kyra bowed and left the chamber at once.

On her way to her room her thoughts were all over the place. She really wanted to know where and why she is sent away, and on top of that her apprehension rose when she thought about the dark lord, Darth Maul. She did not know him or known of him until now, and that bothered her. She just hoped that this mission would go well and be back in no time.
