Chapter 25. There must always be a Darth Traya

Darth Traya sat alone in her private study writing in her journal; a journal meant to be read by those who took her place as master of Trayus academy. She wrote the following:

It has been two years since Darth Arachni died at the hands of the Jedi Haal Wendu and now his apprentice Darth Caos has taken the title Lord of the Sith. Under his direction I believe the sith will flourish and return to power. As for me and the followers of my order the order of Darth Traya we will preserve the teachings of the sith and rule the unknown regions from the shadows. The arquillians are still at war and that war must continue or their ambition will stretch beyond the unknown regions into the outer rim and then the core and this I cannot allow.

I have accomplished all my goals and have preserved the knowledge of the sith; I have also uncovered the true nature of the force and that is the force without limitations. The united force a power that goes beyond the limitations the sith and the Jedi have placed upon it; this knowledge for the time being must remain hidden and known only to the those who carry the title Darth Traya; if this knowledge was common then the galaxy would be torn apart… My daughter Kreia if you are reading this then know that I longed with all my heart to claim you as my daughter but you needed a passion a power and drive to become the new Darth Traya. You had to become your own person and that would not be possible if I doted on you as a daughter… I cry your pardon my daughter and ask that you rule as you see fit and lead the order in the path you choose…Farewell…

Traya had been writing for hours then she stood up stretched and walked the halls of her academy and as she passed several sith they bowed to her or stepped to the side. She knew many of them wished to leave and test their skills against the Jedi, but if she allowed that then Traya risked the possibility of exposing her academy to the Jedi and that she could not allow. Kreia was away visiting the Arquillian homeworld and most of the academy was heading to the arena for a duel between two masters. Traya wasn't interested because she knew who would win the duel between Harr and an alien master named Shived. She made her way to the balcony at the top level of the pyramid and stared out over her world the world of Sithari.
