Chapter I: Judgment of the Exile


Tysyacha

Recommended Posts

"You know it is against our order to kill you.... I hate to end violence through violence itself, like you already know. THink about it. We kill you, the servants of the dark side think of it as a martyr and we could have a whole new war at hand. That is how the sith are. They follow an endless path of violence. It is pointless. But now answer to the council with this. What do you think you deserve as a punishment?"

"For what I did at Malachor V, I deserve at least five years--times two, at

menial hard labor. I am willing to do such work, rather than having to stand

still at attention in a Force cage." Tysy felt her spine strengthen. Could

it be that she was gaining courage, even though she had never been

more scared in her life? Or, she had never been so scared since Malachor.

 

She took another deep breath, which seemed like her thousandth at this

trial. "Or, I'll accept exile, having to wander my way through the galaxy in

search of the path of redemption. Living as an exile would not only humble

me, but it would guarantee that you Masters would no longer face a threat

from my actions. If I am banished from Republic space, you will hear of me

no more, yet by this I'll prove to you that I am no longer bent on destruction."

Tysyacha was startled, and she took a slight step backward. After

regaining her balance, she asked, "Please tell me, if you would, Master

Atris: Did Revan ever approach the Council about going to war, or did

he decide to do that by himself, without consulting all of you?"

Tysy. Let's stick to the subject. Here are the facts.

 

You killed millions of people by following Revan into war and activating the Mass Shadow Generator

 

You abandoned the Council and the Code

 

You ended the war

 

You returned here

 

You accept any punishments.....

 

This is a tough decision..

Tysy trembled. "What would you have done with me, then? Am I as dangerous

as Revan, when he was a Sith Lord and first awakened from unconsciousness?

I don't know what more I can say, or what more I can do, to show you that I

repent of my actions. I was rash and reckless to follow Revan to war, but

does that mean I am without hope? Master Kavar, what would you do?"

This time, Tysy's step backward was large and decisive, but afraid. "Master..."

She found her mouth had gone dry. "I was born and grew up amid these

thousand stars. As far as I know, there is no intelligent life outside the

cradle of this galaxy. I'm reminded of an ancient text, found on a Datapad

that my teachers handed out in school when I was a young Jedi-in-training.

 

"This text was called Antigone, It was about a stubborn princess

who refused to let her dead brother be eaten by vultures and wild beasts.

Her brother, Polyneices, was a traitor, but Antigone believed the laws of

the ancient gods overshadowed those of her brother, Creon the King.

The laws of those gods, and Antigone's love for her brother, dictated

that Polyneices be buried instead of left to rot exposed in the fields.

 

"It is not only Antigone's willingness to face judgment for what she

believes is right that reminds me of my situation, but also her fate.

Creon seals Antigone up in a cave, leaving her one day's worth of

food and drink so her death will not be upon his hands. Please,

Master Kavar. If you send me out of the galaxy, I will starve.

 

"Do you know of other worlds where an exile can survive as well

as she can, where food, clothing, and shelter will at least be there

for her to buy? I feel as if I'm about to be thrown out of an airlock

without a space suit!" With this cry, Tysy prostrated herself at his feet.

Tysy nodded. "If you do decide to imprison me, Master Kavar, please let

me work for the good of the Jedi, at least. I don't deserve to do anything

important. Let me replace one of the cleaning droids, if I may. Standing in

a Force cage for the rest of my days would be counterproductive, I think.

Do you sense any sabotage, any hint of deception or malice, in me now?"

 

She stepped forward to allow Kavar to look her squarely in the eye.

No. BUt again, we did not sense this... darkness in you before. You have changed, Padawan. Wether it is for the best or not, remains to be seen.

 

((This is where somebody *coughatriscough* argues that keeping her here would only endanger us or something to that effect.))

"I have an idea. Tysy, may I please have a moment to discuss this with the council?" (Vrook walks up to Kavar and whispers something in his ear. "She is too much of a threat to us to leave her here at the council or exiled. We must test her. I believe we should put her on Eveoit, some uninhabited planet without her lightsaber and the only way out is to show that she can help the other small inhabatants without violence. They know the way out. She must use the force in kind ways to get it out of them. If she can successfully make it out, then she will be permitted on the Jedi Council. If she dosen't..... She will spend a long life alone. And yes there is plenty enough food and drinks for her there"

Tysy waited for Vrook to finish his conversation with Master Kavar. When

the two Masters turned toward her again, the imperiled young Jedi Knight

squared her shoulders. The gesture was not arrogant, but merely stalwart.

Whatever fate awaited her outside the Enclave, Tysy was prepared to face it.

Tysy nodded. "What is your decision, then, good Masters?" She spoke to each.

 

"Master Atris, you wish to see me banished, and I do not blame you. I understand,

because I was about to be fully consumed by the Dark Side. Exile would be just."

 

"Master Vrook," she continued, "you want to test me to see if I will use the

Force in kindness, to help those who live upon the planet Eveoit. I would

welcome this test, as it would allow me to prove that I have repented."

 

She glanced at Zez Kai-Ell. "What say you, noble Master? You've been quite

silent during my trial. I don't mean to accuse you, but what are your thoughts?"

 

After that, she turned to Lonna Vash. "Master Vash, what would you have

done with me? I see the hardness in your eyes, and it is reasonable for one

such as yourself to have it. I disobeyed the Council and the Jedi Code. Will

you sentence me to exile, or perhaps agree with Master Vrook's suggestion?"

 

Last, but not least, she knelt before Master Kavar. "Master. You've trained

me, and I've failed you. What punishment and penance would you have me do?"

(Vrook sighed) I hate to see anyone, especially one as powerful as you, to have to leave our order. I vote that you should be banished to Eveoit. It is helpful and it will test you. But whatever happens, good luck. And may the force be with you.
