Chapter 10. Darth Syren
A week had passed and Jasmine had yet to come up with a plan even with Zhardan's help. So in the middle of the next week she resumed work on her lightwhip. She was fitting the crystal in when she had an epiphany. She quickly finished her whip and activated it. The crackling ruby energy leaps across the metal cord leaving burnt scratch marks on the floor. She switches it off, recoils the cord and hangs the weapon on her belt.
"Myka! ..Find Zhardan…" They meet in the control center where she explains her plan then they go to Oblivion and tell him. With his approval Jasmine and Zhardan leave Lohan and return six months later with the artifacts.
"Well done Lady Beed…"
"Thank you master!" Oblivion leaves Jasmine and Zhardan to inventory the artifacts and place them in the vault. "I feel like celebrating…Have a drink with me!"
Zhardan smiles, "I am married."
She grunts, "I didn't say have sex with me…I said…Have a drink with me…" Before Jamsine wouldn't manipulate Zhardan's mind, because of her lack of control and because he had a strong mind. But Jasmine was a master manipulator now and she could wiggle her way through the strongest minds.
"Let's have a drink…"
One drink turned into two bottles of wine and a half of bottle of Juma Juice. "It has been two and half years since I have been with a man…" His intoxication made it all the more easier as she wasn't as drunk as he was because of her training and force abilities. Jasmine could suppress the alcohol in her blood.
"That is a long time…"
"Tell me I am more beautiful than your wife…"
"You are way more beautiful than my wife…"
"I am Hapan…I can do things to you your wife never even dreamed of…"
"You are a Hapan female…strong an independent you probably know how to please a man…
They start tearing off each other's clothes and kissing each other. It was a satisfying night. "Morning!" Jasmine says when he opens his eyes.
"Ah man!" He jumps up. "Bitch!" He starts to gag for air.
"Be careful! I enjoyed myself and this can remain between us…"
He falls to one knee, "I trusted you! I brought you to Darth Oblivion!"
"You may leave now!"
He smiles, "Just so you know! Oblivion is going to kill you…He has always wanted to test his power against the Jedi. You are the next best thing as he is all powerful…That is why he didn't give you a Sith name…He doesn't care if you can kill him or not…"
"I said you can go now!"
"I hope I am there to see it!"
She sneers as he walks out, "I told you to be careful…"
Jasmine knew what he said was true, because in Darth Bane's Holocron he comments on how he and Githany formed a Master, Apprentice connection. He dove deeper into it on his comments about seeking an apprentice and his successor Darth Zannah. Of course that connection was broken after Zannah turned on her master. Jasmine and Oblivion had no such relationship. Accepting her as an apprentice lit a fire and new desire in the Trandoshan Sith Lord, but he was only interested in testing his power against Jasmine's when she reached her full potential. Zhardan was fool for bringing it up and Jasmine intended him to pay with everything he had. It was a subtle thing as Jasmine manipulates a female Twi'lek named Constynce to tell Zhardan's wife about an ongoing affair with Jasmine.
"Is it true?" She demands standing in front of Jasmine.
"That depends on what you are speaking of…"
"Did you seduce my husband?"
"He came to me actually…In his words he was tired of the same old thing…"
She allows her tears to fall down her cheeks, "You bitch…You scheming schutta! You are a Syren…seducing, poisoning men's husbands with your beauty and destroying everything and everyone around you…"
("Syren! I like that name…") Jasmine said in her mind, "Yes I am a Syren Darth Syren if you please…And I did seduce your husband, but as I said earlier…He doesn't love you anymore…"
"He doesn't love me anymore does he?"
"You can't give him what he really wants…"
"I can't give him what he really wants…"
"You should end it all and let him go…"
"I must end it all…"
"Be sure to leave him a letter…"
She went to the third level walkway and jumped to her death. "You bitch!" Zhardan screams entering the training arena where Oblivion and Syren are dueling each other. He fires his blaster at Syren who blocks his bolts with her hand and rips the gun away. Then she grabs him in the force and breaks his neck.
"EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" Oblivion demands as his right hand is now dead.
"He outlived his usefulness…"
"I am Lord of the Sith and I decide woman who lives and dies…Do you understand me Jasmine Beed?"
She drops to one knee, "Jasmine Beed is dead milord…I am Darth Syren…And to answer your question…Yes Master I understand…"
He smiles showing his pointed teeth, "You may rise Darth Syren…"
