My eyes snapped back to reality, as if a shroud that covered my mind was thrown off.
"The Shadow Academy!" I said. "I'm not going to the Shadow Academy, the place of dark jedi and the dark side of the force. It's bad.evil. I will not succumb to the dark side of the force."
"The Shadow Academy teaches both light and dark sides of the force," Brakiss said. "Don't you want power?"
"No," I said.
We just stared at each other. Then Brakiss smiled.
"I foresaw that you would resist," Brakiss said, "what you have yet to realize is that you don't have a choice."
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Are you willing to give yourself to the dark side? To learn at the Shadow Academy and learn our teachings.for your planet."
"What?" I asked.
"We have constructed a machine that has frozen the time of Earth. At any time we can destroy Earth. Your friends, loved ones, everything you know will be destroyed.unless you voluntarily attend the Shadow Academy and open yourself up to the dark side."
"But.how do you even know that I'm capable of all this power! I've never even shown any signs, I've tried."
"Yes you have shown signs," Brakiss said. "We have actually been observing you ever since you were two years old with the passing of Halley's Comet. We then strategically with ysalamari, blocking you from discovering your talents, before you could be properly trained. Many times you broke the barrier of the ysalamari, but you never realized it. Haven't you ever had deja-vu or strange coincidences? Both you and I know it to be true. We had to wait until you were mentally ready for the training."
I felt numb all over and I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.
"Will you join me?" Brakiss said. He then outstretched his hand.
I stared at his hand and the silence in the room was immense.
"Yes," I said in a voice a little above a whisper. My hand grasped his hand.
I had sold my soul. I closed my eyes slowly and looked down. But Brakiss moved my chin and my eyes met his.
"Excellent choice," he said.
His eyes bore into mine and the force I was trying to resist, I let in. Brakiss smiled in satisfaction and a bond was made. Doors opened with a hiss and without a word we walked into the Shadow Academy together.
A ripple in the force was felt by every being that was force sensitive. Neither Jedi or Sith could foresee the future or the fate of the universe.
