Tysy chuckled wryly. "Is that a veiled insult to my abilities, or

merely the truth?" She winked at this crew member who had

newly spoken up, name of Steven.

 

"Anyway, Traya wanted to test me, to give me a final challenge

that would prove whether or not I was worthy to be her apprentice

if the Exile died. So far, she had only heard of my smuggling and thieving exploits. Traya wanted to know if I had it in me to kill. 'No Sith is a

true Sith', she had explained to me, 'unless he has murdered at least

one sentient being in hot or cold blood.'

 

"I asked Traya why she wanted me to kill the Exile. 'Isn't he the one

you want?' I asked her. 'The one you love as living proof of your theory,

and the one you'd let the galaxy die for?' 'That is so', said Traya, 'but if

he fails this test, this challenge of defeating all who stand in his way

and want to slay him, then he is just as much a failure as the Jedi are.

Do you accept the test of my potential apprentice, Syscha, or not?'

 

'I accept', I answered sadly, 'but only if this proves I'm worthy of you.'

 

'Darth Dvukh', she said, and smiled, 'I have no more doubts about you.'

 

"Kreia should have doubted me. That's why I'm an assassin. I've failed."

 

She then turned to the Exile. "Why am I the bondservant of Sith Lords?

Through them, I've gained strength. Through the Jedi, I gained only

rejection and disillusionment. Vrook said I was not worthy to be his

Padawan, and I know now he was right. Why should I have settled

for such a menial and weak position, when Traya taught me to use

my passion for the sake of proving the Jedi Code to be flawed?"

"In exile?" Tysyacha asked. "I see. Before you decide what to do with me,

I'd like to give you a short and simple list of my crimes. Seven armed robberies,

all done with a Sith-issue saberstaff with double ruby blades. I stole 2,000

credits per robbery, so that would make my total 14,000. Shall I die now? I've

never killed before, since I failed my Mistress's final test. What is my sentence?"

"No. They are not in exile." began Ryan coldly and there were signs of happiness in his voice "They are echoes in the force. They hunger thorugh the Force. They are like me."

 

Ryan listened to the rest of Tysy's question and then he replied in sadness:

"I am not a Sith. And there will be no sentence." he paused for a moment and continued "There can't be... it's all over."

"All over? That's a relief, but I--" Tysy remembered Darth Traya's black hood,

the one that perpetually covered her wasted white eyes. And that smile, that

cold, calculating smile, which planned the next move--and the next life--

that the Sith would take. To think! Tysy had been in the inner circle, an

apprentice, of that same Traya, and she wanted to cleanse her past.

 

"Could I serve time? Serve you, Exile, and thus try to atone for all the

wrongs I have done? I know it's too small a price to have to pay, but

you've known Traya. You personally know the damage her teachings

can do. Not only was I a vorovka, or a robber, but I also helped

Traya with strategy against the Jedi. It was not often that I helped

her in this way, but at certain times, I gave suggestions on how to

bring the Masters out of hiding. Especially Vrook...whom I hated."

"As long as your hot friend stays. I vote for yes." said Atton. Ryan frowned at him.

"If you need any help just come and ask me." said Bao-Dur as he exited and went to the Cargo Hold.

 

"Now." began Ryan "As I was saying-"

"What's all the comotion here?"

Ryan looked at the sound and saw Mira enter the room.

"We have new members onboard."

"Again?" Mira rolled her eyes "Well, they're not sleeping with me." she answered and left.

 

"I am sorry for this kind of attitude. No ones perfect." apologised Ryan.

"Well I wouldn't say it like that." replied Ryan pleasantly as well "They're not bad. Believe me. They are just... frustrated."

 

"And I would like to relax myself with cards." said Atton approaching Crystal and looking at her seductively. He pulled out some cards and asked:

"How about that you and I have some fun playing Pazzak... Nar Shadaa style."

 

Ryan put his hand over his eyes and sighed, trying to calm himself down.

Ryan, the Jedi Exile, felt a very slight touch on his knee. It was Tysy,

and she knelt down before him slowly, still wearing her Dark Jedi Knight

Robe. She had transferred her veil to her head, however, as a penitent

would. The Exile sat in the medbay, wondering what she was planning.

 

"As I pledged myself to Master Vrook as a Padawan; as I pledged myself

to Darth Traya as an assassin and future second-in-command; I pledge myself

to you now as a servant, a Padawan in name, but lower in status. I

wish to learn from you, Exile, as I am just as much of a banished one

as you are. We're both exiles--you from the Jedi Order, and I from the

favor and teachings of Darth Traya. The Force will hold me to this vow,

and I humbly proclaim it. Will you accept me as apprentice, Master?"

 

Tysy glanced up toward the Exile, and then she slid flat toward the ground.

Even Darth Traya would have been impressed, had she witnessed it. This was

no mere outcast of the Jedi Order, but the most powerful Force user since

Revan himself. Such a man deserved no less than complete obedience.

Atton looked at Crystal and smiled:

"Oh, come on. Live a little."

 

Ryan looked at Tysy in regret and sadness because the sight was too sad to be seen. He then pulled her up and said:

"You are not my servant Tysyacha. Nor will you be anyones. I will except you for training." then Ryan turned to Atton and said: "As long as Atton and the others don't have anything against it."

"Don't worry about me." replied Atton "As long as her friend stays, she is more than welcome."

Atton then turned to Crystal and said:

"Come on. What have you got to lose?"

When Atton said "Come on. What have you got to lose?"

Steven replied "Her dignity, self-respect and her clothes." He turned to Tysy "As long as she doesnt try to kills us, send our where-abouts to the sith or cheat at pizzak, she's welcome."

Atton snuffed in annoyance and said confidently:

"She digs me."

Atton then turned around and he bumped into Ryan who was pretty mad.

"You are a jerk, you know."

Atton grimaced and said:

"Eh?"

"Atton, what the hell is wrong with you?" critisized Ryan "Do you always behave like this?"

Atton thought a little and said:

"Yes."

"I want you to go and apologise, right away." said Ryan angirly.

"Why?" asked Atton.

"Because if you really like her that much, you would just ask her for a dinner or something else." explained Ryan as calmly as he could.

"What makes you think that?" asked Atton ironicly.

"Maybe if you thought about it a little, you could do it better." answered Ryan and left to follow Crystal. He came to her and said:

"I wish to apologise for Atton's behaviour. I promise thatit will never happen again."

"Well I'll go find out then" Steven jogged to Ryan and Crystal.

"I wish to apologise for Atton's behaviour. I promise thatit will never happen again." He heard Ryan tell Crystal.

"Not promise what you can't make happen. By the way where are we going next?"

Ryan turned to Steven and began:

"We are going to-" Ryan suddenly stopped. He paused for several seconds and his eyes were as blank as white cotton. He didn't know where to go, because everything is lost now. He then finished:

"To Dantooine." he finished trying to hide his desperation "We'll be there in about several hours."

Crystal cringed slightly. "You don't know where to go," she told Ryan quietly. "Were it not written all over your face, I'd still have picked up on it... you throw your thoughts around, feeling safe in it, not realizing that you throw them right at me!"

 

She shook her head. "I'm not making much sense, am I?"
