What he was promising her in return was significant, tempting—provided he could fulfill these grandiose promises. The intent was there, she thought, as he stared up at the sky, his arms outstretched. He certainly had a flare for the dramatic, but she couldn’t help but smile at this. She enjoyed...

“There is nothing wrong with ambition in and of itself. There is everything right with it. It is good and noble to set goals and pursue them, but they must be worthy goals. If you make bad decisions on the path to your goal, you’ve already lost, regardless of if you reach that goal or not,” Iden...

Recognition flashed in Stedon’s eyes, if only for a moment, and Iden knew he had realized she was a Jedi. She did not mind that he had this knowledge. There was no point in hiding it any longer with him, and he would have to find out eventually. “Hopefully it will not come to that.” When he...

Considering Stedon’s question, Iden answered after she had given it some thought. “The Sith as an organization. Had you asked me that question a few months ago, I would say both... the Sith as an organization and the Sith as individuals, but now... I’ve met a— shall we say, diverse assortment of...

Though Iden could not yet see this glowing moss Kass referred to as she followed him through the narrow passage, she commented, “Probably some type of bioluminescence... they thrive in environments with limited light source.” Following him further through the passage, the glowing moss covered...

Iden stared at her companion, processing his words. Stedon’s “I would handle the other half” comment gave her more insight into this situation. He was a Sith. Of course! How had she not sensed or realized that before? He must have been concealing it well, but with the revelation of his true...

Iden was flattered, if not a little confused by the fact that he would offer to pull her into this plan of his, a plan that was obviously near and dear to his heart. This was his passion, his vision. It was an ambitious passion and vision; he was not an underachiever, apparently. This offer...

“And still, I have not heard a satisfactory answer to my question... what is the point? What is the point in gaining such power? So that you can rule others? Suppress them? Be proud of yourself and your accomplishment in gaining such power? All of these, in my line of thinking, are selfish...

Evidently her “in vain” comment had struck a chord in Julias, and it was not a pleasant one. Oddly, either due to the passion in his voice or the look in his eyes, Iden experienced guilt over her words. She knew she had spoken nothing but the truth, so she was aware that there was no reason for...

Iden had expected complete resistance from Julias both as a result of her words spoken and in retaliation to his supposed accuracy of her words spoken. She had not, however, expected him to laugh. A twinge of annoyance sprang up inside her as his laughter filled her ears, but swiftly that...

Merge the two orders? That was... ambitious. Iden thought the statement that he would not see such a change in his lifetime was very apt. She wondered if they would ever see such a change as he proposed at all. To ask two orders who hated and despised one another, whose very beings lived in...

“As cold as it is, I’m surprised you would feel a slight breeze.” Iden followed the Sith along the dark cavern, keeping pace a few feet behind him and to his right as he led, his red blade lighting their way. Admittedly, she was glad he had taken the lead. The blow to her head had left her brain...

“I was never allowed to make decisions for myself for a long time.” These words were saddening, and Iden couldn’t help but feel for the man. The life he had led had not been an easy one. Though she could not be sure of the particulars, of this much she could be sure by observation and his manner...

Iden carefully considered her companion’s words, not missing the undercurrent of anger in his voice. She did not take this undercurrent personally; she knew it was not directed toward her, particularly considering the genuine, if somewhat out of practice but endearing smile she thought she had...

Iden listened patiently to Julia’s speech, never opening her mouth as he spoke. This proved a difficult task as there were extremely tempting moments when she wanted to interrupt him and tell him how oh, so wrong he was. A calm emotion flowed from him now, despite the lingering darkness at the...
