Asajj Ventress had just landed in the ports of Tython and was greeted not by Ahsoka Tano as she had expected but by a Dathomirian Nightsister.
Asajj looked at the woman and noticed a green inverted triangle on her forehead"You can't be a Nightsister, I watched them all die."
"I understand your confusion, my name is Shunsia Egro I am a not a Nightsister in the truest sense I am a seer and Shaman of Dathomir I am also a Je'daii'."
"In 36.463 BBY The Great Migration took place and my ancestors left Dathomir
"We traversed The Great Desert of Dathomir answering the call, in order to reach The Tho-yor, my ancestors were among those first ones."
"Come… I was just about to start my meditations, join me…" Shunsia Egro said in a silvery undertone, "Don't focus in the light, don't focus on the dark, focus on the force itself."
Seeing the confusion on Asajj's face Shunsia explained, "The force is not light the force is not dark, the force is the force, it's out intent that decides the sphere of influence, and if it is good or bad."
Moments later on Bogan Shunsia, said, "Right now Bogan is dominant look at Ashla feel its light flow through you, fill you!"
In her core Asajj Ventress felt the long-neglected wellspring that Ky Narec taught her how to tap into begin to fill, as tears begun flowing as she morn the man for the first time.
"The one you cry for; he was your first teacher?" Shunsia asks softly , she was not judging her only asking for context.
"Yes…" Asajj said choaking back tears as she spoke.
Looking at her Shunsia said, "If you could have would you have taken him before the courts."
Asajj nodded silently, as Shunsia said, "Your actions while extreme did restore the balance, you were isolated you had no way of getting help or getting them to a court."
"But I killed them." Asajj stated.
"Asajj." Sometimes the only way to maintain the balance, "Is to follow that course of action, your actions were that of a sentinel."
"I am a Shadow." Shunsia said offhandedly, "I'd say had you taken the trails you would be as well."
Asajj looked confused as Shunsia said, "Jedi Consular's, Jedi Guardian's they are the public face of the order, we Shadows if we do our jobs the right way, no one ever hears about what we do."
A Shadows seeks out the darkness and destroys it in all its forms."
My being a bounty hunter would be a perfect cover… Asajj thought as she said, "Sign me up."
"Kneel" Shunsia said with an undertone of conviction in her voice.
Taking a knee Asajj bowed her head
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
For an instant Asajj expected an attack but it never came instead the blade of the lightsaber lowered to her right shoulder and Shunsia said, "By the right of the council." Moving the blade to her left shoulder, Shunsia said, "By the will of the force."
Tapping her bowed head Shunsia told her, "Asajj Ventress Je'daii Ranger. … rise."
The look on Asajj's face said, you need to be a grandmaster only to have Shunsia say, "I am Grandmaster of Kaleth."
"At this point it is customary to cut the braid, however seeing as you keep your hair short."
Repeat after me:
Instead of repeating Asajj adds her voice to Shunsia's saying
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no fear, there is power.
I am the heart of the Force.
I am the revealing fire of light.
I am the mystery of darkness.
In balance with chaos and harmony,
Immortal in the Force.
Both the Jedi and the Sith took their code from this one.
"Come Miss Tano is waiting." Shunsia told offhandedly her as she walked to the shuttle.
Knowing that she would not understand her actions Shunsia "told her, To set foot on Tython the light and the dark must be in balance otherwise dangerous force storms will harm the planet."
"We Je'daii do use the dark side but we don't yield to it." Shunsia told her with a knowing smile.
"You now stand between the shadow and the light, nether taking nor giving but at one with the force! Shunsia said to Asajj.
As they arrive at Stav Kesh, they could hear Mara Jade Skywalkers shrill voice echoing throughout the temple itself.
"GOD DAM SON OF DO SCHUTTA, MEE'M KOONA TAH MOOVA EVERYONE INTO BANTHA SHIT."
Translation "GOD DAM SON OF A BITCH; I'M GOING TO TURN EVERYONE INTO BANTHA SHIT."
Looking at Luke Grandmaster Shunsia Egro asks, "What happened."
"One of her most recent Padawans to be promoted was captured… by pirates she been swearing in Huttese for hours .
As they entered the room, they found Mara Jade cleaning and reassembling 6 blasters.
Without Missing a beat Mara said, "Asajj Ventress, Dark apprentice Darth Tyranus, your Jedi Master was Ky Narec."
"As a hand it was my job to know who the Emperor associated with."
"It's a rifle of my own design it's based on a N-500 Elite Marksman Ripper, it can take out an Imperil Dropship or AT-AT… even a single person." Mara Jade's voice was cold, it help no emotions.
She is in mission mode! Luke thought looking at his wife.
"Two Former Darkside assassins should take them down."
"Why are you helping me?" Mara asks
"I'm repaying a long overdue debt to Ky Narec… and I know a women bent on a suicide mission!" Asajj said to Mara.
"Two Former Darkside assassins, and a Jedi Master would increase the odds." Luke said, "Mara show me her force signature!"
