And don't worry there will be sequels added to the picks too.
Lets see what's prowling in the night of space.
Unknown location Miraji's POV
Finally after hours of talks with them the Sith that have asked to remain secret has told me their plans. The female lady says "Lady Miraji your affection to the Marian prince isn't needed. You know he will die once we have what we want from him."
I growl to say, "You will do no such thing! I have granted and given you everything you asked while you remained hidden. I have aided in your plans to remain in power on this world as well.
"All I want in exchange for aiding you for so long is the life of the Marian prince."
Another Sith hushes his allies to say "Lady Miraji you may have the Marian prince and if he is killed before you can have him. I will personnel kill the one who takes his life.
"We Sith of the Tribe of Sith owe those we trust as well as the fortune you have helped us amass. And thanks to your aid we have grown greatly.
"For generations we have haunted just as the Jedi for the followers of Bane. The traitor who destroyed the legacy of the Sith of old. And they continue to call themselves Sith.
"In truth yes now due to those very Sith of Bane the Jedi are weak. But we are destined to end their retched order none else!
"Go and await for Lady Kress she will inform and house you on things to come. Soon we will surprise all in the galaxy once more. And those who fight will die while those who submit will know little suffering."
Nodding I leave the chambers outside waiting for me are Faya, Yara, and Arva.
Arva asks "Mistress I know you worry for him but you're letting your emotions become..."
I stop to glare at her saying "I know Arva I'm showing too much weakness by letting my affection for Jagger be known. But it is my burden and one I am not ashamed of."
Walking the halls of the Sith tribe I stop seeing the familiar face of the pureblooded Sith lady Kress. Lady Kress nods to me as we begin walking together.
Lady Kress says "It is good to see you here on Kesh Lady Miraji. Your timing however has proven immature to our plans."
I counter stating "I've agreed to many of your requests and have given just as much to help further your smaller plans. Some of which if discovered before would have resulted in me losing my power.
"With my former kings death my planet will rally to me against the Count. And hold greater distaste for the two sides of the Clone Wars. But I want what has been promised to me Kress.
"A man of noble and high standing blood. I want the Marian prince you Sith know of his future greatness some of you want him dead for it. But as Lord Dernas has promised anyone who kills him will die horribly."
Lady Kress smirks to say "Worry not Miraji you know I for one want the Marian prince alive and well.
"During the time of the old Republic his peoples power over the force was proven to best any other force user. Even those skilled in other fields of weaponry.
"When Drakkens apprentice last encounter Jagger many myself included saw the power he has inside of him spike. If we gain his power the Tribe can crush worlds with little effort. And then the galaxy will kneel to the Sith like in old."
I nod to say "And as promised I will break slaves and hold the crime families in order as you wish when you begin your push. But I must ask why haven't you started to pass your teaching on to another Kress.
"From even the Jedi ways they pass on their knowledge why haven't you?"
Lady Kress says "I hold great secrets in the force dear Miraji. Many young potentials wish for me to teach them. And others in the tribe fear me for the power I have over ones body.
"But I will announce when I will begin in due time. For now lets move to the barracks and show you how the Keshiri and our warriors are fairing."
Standing over the walkway I see the various large groups of twenty or more being ordered through different exercises. Seeing the smallest group however I look to Kress.
I ask, "Who are they?"
Lady Kress answers "Sith minions those who wish to serve but have no power in the dark side. The either have been broken by you or truly see us Sith above all others.
"Assassins, Cultist, troops, and workers who see use as we should be seen. Those who stand and hold power over the weak. This is a fresh batch that works in the small garrison here.
"The main armies are trained away due to all the noise they make."
"Across are the Sith warriors instructed mainly the five true marauders left alive after so many years.
"Few have been able to hold the rank of marauder. And still fewer challenge them. Next as you can see being instructed by Lords Sarasu are the acolytes. Thanks to your aid we have been able to find around fifty potentials these last few years.
"But knowing Sarasu half or less will pass to be truly called acolytes of the Sith. Finally in the large dome over there is the inquisitors den.
"Watching it is Lord Takaris he's constantly requestion minions or acolytes along with warriors to go in search of our lost artifacts.
"He hordes them within the den only allow us Lords and Ladies within. And denies entrance to others unless they prove to him otherwise.
"Remember this Miraji the weak get eaten and the strong get stronger. Look there at that warrior see how weak she is."
Watching on I the female Elomin gets backhanded by a male Sluissi. Using the force she tries to push him back. But the male evades the unseen attack.
Lashing her across the chest with his tail. To then stab her in the thigh and shoulder with his twin ended bladed staff.
Grabbing her with the force her chokes her into the air to throw her across the area into a pile of junk. As the other warriors roar with pride and vigor. I turn to Kress whose face remains blank.
She says "The weak of us must be the example and if they don't prove themselves. Then they will either become slaves or drained."
I raise and my eyebrow asking "Drained what does that mean?"
Kress answers "One of our most practiced skill is Force drain my dear. We can literally pull the life out of another. For those not atoned with the force it is painful in short bursts.
"But when done on a level like the Lord of Hunger. You can drain not only ones energy but also their very essence in the force into yourself.
"Sith of old did this in crafting and it made items they controlled powerful. Even just as powerful as a lightsaber or blaster canon."
I nod to ask, "Such power yet so few can ever have it. And worse every fool in the galaxy knows next to nothing about the force and its power... Makes me wonder what would have happened if you were caught years too early?"
Kress smirks to say "We would have know we have our ways of seeing evens in the galaxy too my dear. But come I'm sure you're eager to see more?"
Inside Kress private chamber she invited me onto a large array of pillows and blankets. Sitting with her she waves the girls to fetch us drinks.
Kress says, "I know you worry for him Miraji but you must trust me. He won't be killed..."
I huff letting my anger showing to state "You say that and yet a good few of the others wish for him dead once the obtain what they want. I worked with Dooku out of your request and it nearly cost me my throne.
"All I ask is for Jagger after years of cooperation and agreement. We both have benefited greatly yours more then mine. And this is all I ask as my finest payment!"
Kress nods to say, "Frustration is a annoyance I must agree with. It was why I created the own personal techniques. The power I hold to bend ones body to my will even when they are in their right mind.
"The force as all beings is a living thing itself. It connects us to both the planets, creatures, and one another. In ways none not even the Jedi can understand.
"The Marian and Surian learned their own method of old force techniques many masters of old have trouble controlling. The elements have always been a weakness to control to even the greatest of force users.
"The young princes body itself is the weapon we seek... The key to understand that which even those of old could not. And whoever has him can literally, when properly trained and used, can control a planet itself."
I stare is shock to ask "So you won't kill him if he becomes yours willingly?"
Kress says "As you've told us the boy still holds a grudge against the Sith as well as the Jedi.
"Even though he is with them it is just a means to find his people. Sooner or later they will lose track of him. Or he will leave of his own will. But the matter is timing and if we are to succeed he must be here."
I nod to ask, "What kind of other techniques do you know?"
Kress smiles to say "My dear some things are meant to be a secret. But worry no more soon the Circle will put our plans into motion. And we will show our return to the galaxy. Once more bathing all in darkness and proper control."
Ahsoka's POV
I sigh after we finally managed to sit down and talk with Master Yoda, Luminara, and Ti.
Master Yoda hums saying "Uneasy you all feel hm yes truly worried you are of my new Padawan you all are. Mindful you must be of yourselves."
Master Luminara says "Master Yoda as I've told you the force has been connecting us. Showing us visions of varying encounters with Jagger. Some of which are very worrying and dark. And all showing that he loses himself because of something we did."
I ask, "Master Yoda how is all of this happening? Is the force warning of something in Jaggers future?"
Master Yoda hums to say "Unsure I am of the force. Like the future changing more with each day that passes the force does.
"But connected all these visions are. The connection you all have to Jagger shows within them their meaning."
Master Ti sighs to say "Ahsoka Barriss has Jagger approached either of you sexually or have you noticed him looking at you in such a manner?"
I blush as does Barriss to which master Yoda chuckles.
Master Yoda sighs to say, "Truly influential my Padawan is. As I suspected the force itself too wishes for his species to continue. Push one of you he has yes?"
Master Luminara says "So it's as I thought Barriss Ahsoka the force itself as master Yoda says has connected us to Jagger.
"Calling us his muses as a means to tell us that we are destined to help him one way or another in continuing his species. Be it through intimacy or with helping him find those who can."
Master Yoda warns us saying, "Be mindful all of you must be. This exception only for those who have such sights in the force will be given exception yes.
"As Jedi we must not allow life to be snuffed out in such a manner. But worried about breaking Jedi tradition many are."
Master Ti nods to say, "Then master if I may Ahsoka and Barriss should remained assigned to one of us.
"I am sorry to suggest separating you two and I understand that you work greatly as a team.
"But I feel that this is a necessary means to further our understanding in this situation."
I nod saying "I agree master but what if the other master find out. They'll think we've gone astray? Or worse blame Jagger?"
Master Luminara says, "Don't worry Ahsoka as master Yoda said he knows first hand of our visions. If a situations such as that does happen he'll be ready to explain."
I nod to ask whom will we each go with. I'm to go with master Luminara to a world that once had the natives experimented on by the Techno-Union.
Barriss is heading to Camino with master Ti. As the Jedi master training the clones being born there. She can only be gone for so long. But my thoughts can't help but continue to return and worry for Jagger.
Well hoped you liked it and if you didn't well I don't care. Drop me a review and some other fun stuff. I'll see you later!
