He was completely motionless, moving not a finger, or even a hair. He had arrived outside the Sith Academy at Yavin IV when the harsh sun still beat down upon the jungle landscape. Now, in what had seemed like the blink of an eye, an empty night shone over the dense foliage of Yavin IV. Whatever happened there was invisible and unforgiving. And it was there that Xedan Blokk sat in his black hooded cloak, deeply engrossed in the Force.
He had begun a transition. Already, his once-pale and fair skin had begun to look ashen and gray. The skin around his joints – his knuckles, elbows, and jaw especially – had dried out and begun to crack, only subtly. Even his hair had thinned, revealing evermore the characteristic horns that protruded from his upper forehead. He was becoming more and more enveloped by the dark side of the Force every day.
Time had seemed to unravel, if that was possible. In the hours, perhaps even days he had been in meditation, time itself had become trifling; irrelevant. He had stopped caring how much time had passed, focusing only on how to better connect to the Force. He could feel it undulate; it ebbed and flowed like a massive, intangible ocean. He tried to understand it, to learn to become a part of it. But he was slowly beginning to understand that one couldn’t gain power by trying to understand the Force. It demanded to be controlled. One had to dominate it – rule it with an iron, adamant fist. Only them could one truly reach full potential in the Force. This concept was something that Xedan Blokk was beginning to understand, though he was nowhere near being able to execute it.
As he sat in deep meditation, an aura of dark energy began to flow from him, as if he had become an open conduit between the Force and the galaxy. The Force radiated from him, and it was so exhilarating. A higher level of ecstasy, he had never felt. But he was simply biding his time. He knew that once he was ready, and when the time was right, his Master would approach him, and they would begin the most eventful night of his life. And when he finally achieved a state of true meditation, his anticipation was at its peak.
He was ready.
