“How can I trust you?” It was the burning question in both their minds. “Our Order has largely lost the trust of the galaxy, if I were to release you and our deal never materializes…I look the fool.” Alex was far too aware of the optics. “The Grandmaster who set the Sith Lord free.” She shrugged. “The Rangers were berated when they lost Asminys and Manat. I do not wish to join those ranks.” Alex ran a hand through her short hair. Her options were slim. “But I do want peace.” The truth in her words was unmistakable. It rang solidly in the Force. Even dulled, Artorigas could not possibly miss it.
“Help me take this leap of faith.” The Grandmaster was certain of her path. The Jedi could no longer abide the endless slaughter of innocent lives. Too often, war was the only answer to stopping the bloodshed. She saw a different path. Was this the first step?
