she had long since LOST her remorse. the man she’d been dueling with sank to the floor, but she didn’t even feel the SLIGHTEST bit of guilt. he was a MONSTER who’d taken the path to the dark side, and his death was making the world BETTER. she knew that her allies back at base wouldn’t APPROVE of her methods, but she wasn’t doing this for THEM. she was doing this for her MOTHER, who fell too soon to the hands of a sith lord. she still had yet to find out WHICH one it was, but right now, that’s what she was trying to discover. eventually, one of these FOOLS she chased after would give her SOME piece of information.

the one she’d just slain had been cocky and WEAK. she’d taken him down EASILY, and she hadn’t even been PROPERLY trained with a lightsaber. he hadn’t told her anything, claiming that he would never betray his masters (which was strangely ironic, when she thought about it). despite how much he TRIED to convince her of it, she thought otherwise. at his skill level, she was certain that he knew NOTHING about the death of her mother. her eyes scanned his corpse, feeling completely and utterly NUMB.

a noise broke the eerie SILENCE, causing her eyes to fly up and forward. standing there was someone she HADN’T seen before. she wasn’t sure how long it was that the other had been WATCHING her, but she could tell who WHAT this woman was.

SITH.
