Assignment

Darth Tormel sat in his private quarters in his own Temple thinking on how his apprentice had faced her Ordeal. At the same time he had also removed a thorn from his side, the girl's mother had been killed along with her family. Amusingly enough by Cyan, the very daughter she had cast out due to her dormant midi-chlorian.

Tormel scowled as he thought about the problems that woman had caused. Although she had married into a respectable cultist family everyone of her five children had been born to different fathers. All had been born with numerous midi-chlorian and had gone on to be apprentices or for some training to assist the Sith. When Cyan had been born and her midi-chlorian checked her mother had been horrified. The child had been disposed of. Tormel wasn't sure how she had ended out in the hands of the Jedi but when he found out about the disposed of child he had tracked her down. Jai had been instructed to kill her master and retrieve her. To mask the suspicion that would have been aroused, Tormel ordered that nine other Jedi Padawans were to be captured. All of them had been destroyed or had taken their own lives.

Smirking, Tormel's thoughts turned to how his most ruthless apprentice has managed to destroy her memory, making her far easier to turn then he would originally have thought.

"Master?" Jai's voice came from the door.

"You may enter, what have you found?"

"Upon the investigation of the victim's house we have found no solid proof to the identity of Cyan's father…" Jai spoke as he kneeled before his master.

Tormel noticed the way he practically spat out Cyan's name. They truly hated one another. It was good that way.

"However, we found some sort of record that she kept that mentions most of her other children's sires. Although She has not mentioned Cyan's father by name she did say that she slept with a powerful Sith and believed him to be the father. That is all I could find." Jai finished.

"Good. Has the young Sith recovered from the Ordeal?" Tormel enquired

"More or less…" Jai replied. He sounded disappointed.

"Bring her here."

"Yes Master."


Cyan's mind was full of thoughts. Although she had been using Bacta to heal, her body was still stiff and sore. The poisons, if there were any, must be disappearing from her body as the burning sensation she had experienced last night and upon waking had disappeared. Usually Cyan got annoyed if she wasn't able to train, today however she was happy to just stay in bed and rest her wounded body.

Typically it was Jai who interrupted her and put all possibilities of that behind her. If it hadn't been a summon to her master she would have ignored him

Cyan straightened herself up a bit then followed Jai to her master's quarters.

She knelt down with Jai and they both bowed their heads. Cyan flinched a little from the marks on her feet. She wished she knew what the four circles meant…

"I have an assignment for you Cyan…" Tormel said, "and one for you as well Jai."

"Yes Master." Jai spoke

"As you wish." Cyan said at the same time. Both Sith had ended their constant bickering once in the presence of their master. They both knew better then to annoy him

"There is a new power in the Force. A Jedi Padawan has been moved from the Academy to the Coruscant Temple. I don't know how he was not noticed before but he is powerful enough to warrant training from Skywalker…"

Cyan and Jai wondered where this was going but didn't say anything.

"I want this Jedi turned or destroyed!" Tormel suddenly said louder.

"What do you wish us to do Master?" Jai asked, raising his head. Cyan remained silent but also raised her head.

"I have made sure the Jedi are alerted to the transportation of a group of slaves. Jai, you are to deliver Cyan to the transporters, she must look severely injured. I don't care how that is achieved but don't put her out of commission." Tormel began to explain the plan. Jai looked like he thought it would be enjoyable. Cyan wasn't so sure yet.

"Cyan, once the Jedi have rescued and freed the slaves they will take the wounded back to the Temple. Win the trust of this Padawan, make him believe he loves you if you must but try everything in your power to turn him. Jai will remain on Coruscant to assist the cultists there. If you cannot turn the Padawan contact him. He will assist you in destroying him. Am I understood?"

"Yes Master." Both Sith spoke. Cyan briefly wondered why May-Lan wasn't being sent instead of her, but decided it must of been based on their species not skills.

"The Jedi's name is Joran Talmeeno. Don't disappoint me…" Tormel dismissed them both with a wave of his hand and turned his back on them.


Cyan's head smacked back hard against the wall and flecked her vision with dark patches. Jai was looking pleased with himself.

Tormel may have instructed him to injure her but this fight was not based on the order. Neither Sith could stand the other in a normal situation so when Jai had forced her to hand over her Lightsabers things had got out of hand. Unfortunately Jai wasn't injured and Cyan was still in some pain from her Ordeal.

Jai quickly moved forward and injected something into her shoulder blade. Cyan yelped.

"You need that you idiot! Do you want the whole Jedi Order to see that mark and realise you're a Sith!" He yelled at her. "The effects will only last a week though."

Cyan glared at him. They soon landed on a small moon where the Slave Traders waited for Jai.


Cyan was cramped into a room filled with women and children. Although she was meant to make sure she didn't stand out too much she couldn't help but glare at the people who came to close to her until they became so uncomfortable they quickly moved away.

The journey was uneventful until they entered Coruscant. The Pilot quickly realised that he was being followed by two Jedi ships and started to fly recklessly to avoid capture and the loss of his cargo.

Cyan was bumped into the wall a few times until she grabbed something to hold herself still.

She would never know completely what happened but the ship crashed. The impact rendered her and many others unconscious.
