No. It's mine now. Grabs it from them
Stranger
"Hey! You can't just take it from me!"
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Watch me. Walks away, lightsaber humming
Stranger
I take off, jumping over the gap between the platforms.
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Follows them, lightsaber still humming
Stranger
"Now what? Do you want to fight me for it?"
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
If I have to. Lightsaber stops humming
Stranger
A section of the walkway collapses behind us.
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Looks back at them Looks like we're stuck together for now. Good thing we're siblings, right?
Stranger
nods
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Hey, we should probably make peace while we're here. Tosses Vader's lightsaber to them
Stranger
I catch the lightsaber and look at my brother, then at the saber.
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
It doesn't matter who gets to keep it, or who trained with it first. It's still just a hunk of metal, and Kyber crystal. Shrugs
Stranger
Shakes head and continues further down the catwalk
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Follows them, looking around the ancient Sith temple So, where did this place come from? How did it end up abandoned like this?
Stranger
Idk, probably because the Sith put it here.
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Makes sense. Why would a Sith temple be any different? They enter a large room filled with ancient Sith artifacts Look at all these relics...
Stranger
Some of these look pretty old.
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Most likely they are. They approach a pedestal with a Sith Holocron resting on it And this looks like a Sith Holocron. Now that could be useful...
Stranger
Squints at the Holocron I think the Sith used those for seeing the future, or something.
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
I believe you're right. I'll take a look inside and see if I can learn anything about our family's past or maybe even the location of other Sith artifacts. Plugs into the Holocron
Stranger
Nods and starts examining other relics
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
He opens his mind to the power of the Holocron, and sees flashes of our family's history. He sees Mom and Dad before they left us, and Uncle Anakin using the Force to try and protect us. Then he sees Aunt Padme using the Force to heal our wounds after Uncle Anakin turned evil, before finally settling on a vision of our family reunited again under one roof Huh... Closes his eyes, no longer plugged into the Holocron
Stranger
I continue to look at the other relics
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Notices a familiar symbol on one of the relics Wait a minute... Grabs a nearby Sith artifact with the same symbol on it This symbol... I've seen it before. I think it may be connected to Mom and Dad somehow...
Stranger
Because it’s theirs?
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
No, because this symbol is associated with an ancient Sith cult that focused on serving both the Living Force and the Dark Side. Our parents were part of that cult, I believe. And that's why they left us... to finish our training as Sith.
Stranger
I thought it was because of money… now you’re telling me they left us for a cult? Are they crazy?
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
I nod Yes, they were... but there was a reason. They wanted us to grow strong, powerful, and to master our abilities as Force-sensitives. They didn't want to abandon us, but they felt that we needed to continue our training if we were going to survive in the galaxy. And so they left us with the knowledge and skills they had taught us, hoping that we would come back when we were ready to train as Sith.
Stranger
What exactly did they teach you before they left?
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
They taught us the basic ways of the Force, how to use it to control our thoughts and actions, and how to tap into its power to accomplish great things. They also taught us how to use a lightsaber, and how to harness the energy of the Force to enhance our physical abilities. But most importantly, they taught us to always follow our instincts, and to trust in ourselves and the Force.
Stranger
Did they teach you any Sith teachings? Or were they more of the Jedi variety?
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
They taught us a balanced view of the Force... neither purely Jedi nor Sith. They showed us the good that the Force can do, and the dangers of letting it consume us. They taught us to always keep our emotions in check, but also to embrace our passions. Most importantly, they taught us that the Force is neutral, and that it is up to each individual to decide whether to use it for good or evil.
Stranger
I’m not sure I’d call that balanced. If they wanted you to use it for good, then that’s Jedi, not balanced.
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
The way they taught us, the Force has no inherent morality. It is neither good nor evil, but a tool that can be used for either purpose. They showed us that with great power comes great responsibility, and that the choice to use the Force for good or evil rests solely in our own hands. In other words, they taught us to be balanced, neither purely Jedi nor Sith, but our own unique force-sensitive beings.
Stranger
Sure, but if they wanted you to be able to choose, then that’s still Jedi. Because if the choice isn’t there, then you’re forced to lean one way or the other. So they were teaching Jedi principals.
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Look, I understand what you're saying. But let me explain it another way. Picture the Force as a large river. Jedi believe that the river should flow peacefully, smoothly, and steadily towards the ocean. Sith believe that the river should be harnessed and directed towards their own goals and desires. But our parents believed that the river should flow naturally, and that its path should be determined by its own desires. They did not want us to be tied down to either side, but to be free to choose which path we wanted to follow, or even create our own path if we wished. Does that make sense?
Stranger
Hmm.. Nods slowly I suppose so. But… why Jedi teachings then? I’m confused… teach us to use the Force for good, but also to use it however we want.. how is that not teaching us to be Jedi? I still don’t get it…
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
I sigh and stare into the distance, lost in thought I see your point. And I suppose you're right. Our parents did teach us Jedi teachings, and they did want us to use the Force for good. But they also wanted us to be free to make our own choices. They wanted us to be strong enough to withstand temptation and stay on the light side of the Force, but also to be able to defend ourselves if necessary. They wanted us to be capable of both good and evil, and to decide which path we wanted to follow based on our own beliefs and principles.
Stranger
Ahh.. I get it now. Teach us good, so we can defend against evil. but also allow us to be evil if that’s what we choose. Got it…
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Exactly. They wanted us to be capable of walking the fine line between light and dark, and to make our own choices about which path we would follow. They wanted us to be powerful, but not controlled by the Force. They wanted us to use its power for good, but also for evil if necessary. They wanted us to be free to choose our own destiny, and to make our own choices. Does that make sense?
Stranger
It does now. They only taught you Jedi teachings to prepare you to go to the light side if you chose, and to defend yourself against falling to the dark side. I get it now. Thank you.
Khyron Darkstride
AI roleplay episode
Yes, I'm glad I could help clarify things for you. Our parents wanted us to be powerful, but also free. They wanted us to be capable of choosing our own path and making our own choices. It was their hope that we would use our abilities for good and to help others, but also to be able to defend ourselves if necessary. They wanted us to be strong enough to overcome any obstacle, whether it be a Jedi or a Sith. And they wanted us to remember that the Force is a tool that we must use responsibly, whether we choose the light side or the dark side.
