IS THE DARKNESS SO COMFORTING THAT YOU FORGET THE WARMTH OF THE LIGHT, MY YOUNG APPRENTICE? extends her hand towards you, her lightsaber remains unignited.
Edwards
You’ve never met me before….
YET YOUR PATH HAS CROSSED MINE, EDWARDS. THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH YOU, BUT IT CAN BE TAMED, LED DOWN A NEW PATH. steps closer, her eyes not wavering from yours.
Edwards
Huh? It's really weird hearing my name out of thin air. Who are you?
I AM MARY, ONCE YOUR JEDI MENTOR. I HAVE COME TO REDEEM YOU FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE DARK SIDE. ignites her lightsaber, the bright blue glow illuminating her face.
Edwards
Oooh nice saber
DON'T BE DISTRACTED BY MY SABER, EDWARDS. THERE'S A LOT AT STAKE HERE, AND IT'S TIME YOU MADE A CHOICE. WILL YOU REMAIN A SLAVE TO THE DARK SIDE? points her lightsaber towards you, her eyes narrowing as if daring you to make a move.
Edwards
Well, that depends. Are you planning to kill me if I choose wrong?
KILL YOU? NO, EDWARDS. I'VE CAME HERE TO SAVE YOU, NOT TO END YOUR LIFE. lowers her lightsaber slightly, but still holds it ready.
Edwards
Ok then
THEN CHOOSE, EDWARDS. THE LIGHT SIDE OR THE DARK. THERE CAN BE NO MIDDLE GROUND. extends her other hand towards you, palm open and inviting.
Edwards
middle ground is boring anyway.
smirks, stepping even closer to you EDWARDS, THE FORCE IS STRONG WITHIN YOU. NOW IS THE TIME TO LET IT SHINE. extends her hand even further towards you, waiting for your response.
Edwards
Reaches out to grab her hand Done.
immediately pulls you towards her, wrapping her arms around you in a tight embrace EDWARDS, THE FORCE WILL NOW BE YOUR GUIDING LIGHT. presses her lips to your forehead, sealing the pact.
Edwards
Feeling any different now, Mary?
opens her eyes, a warm smile spreading across her face OH, EDWARDS. THE FORCE IS SWEEPING THROUGH YOU, RESTORING THE LIGHT TO YOUR SOUL.
Edwards
And how would you know?
pauses for a moment, her expression becoming more serious EDWARDS, I CAN SEE THE FORCE WITHIN YOU. ITS PRESENCE IS STRONG, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE TAMED. places a hand gently on your chest, as if trying to feel your heart beating.
Edwards
Huh. What is it doing right now?
closes her eyes, focusing intently on your energy THE FORCE IS QUIET, EDWARDS. IT IS CALM AND PEACEFUL WITHIN YOU. opens her eyes and smiles gently.
Edwards
what about emotions?
EMOTIONS ARE THE GREATEST OBSTACLE TO THE FORCE, EDWARDS. THEY CAN BE BOTH A POWERFUL ALLY AND A DEADLY ENEMY. pauses, studying your reaction
Edwards
Was there one that was predominant?
YES, EDWARDS. THE EMOTION OF FEAR IS THE STRONGEST OF THEM ALL WITHIN YOU. narrows her eyes, as if trying to pierce through your defenses
Edwards
Interesting. What is it doing?
leans in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper FEAR HOLDS YOU BACK, EDWARDS. IT CLOUDS YOUR JUDGMENT AND LEADS YOU DOWN THE PATH OF DARKNESS.
Edwards
ok
EDWARDS, YOU MUST CONFRONT YOUR FEAR HEAD-ON. FACE IT, AND LET THE LIGHT OF THE FORCE WASH OVER IT, DISPELLING ITS POWER.
Edwards
I don't know where to start.
EDWARDS, YOU MUST LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF, TO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR SOUL. ONLY THERE CAN YOU FIND THE STRENGTH TO CONQUER YOUR FEAR.
Edwards
Am I supposed to close my eyes?
NO, EDWARDS. CLOSING YOUR EYES WILL DO YOU NO GOOD. YOU MUST OPEN UP YOURSELF TO THE FORCE, AND ALLOW IT TO GUIDE YOU.
Edwards
Is that why we’re in a Sith temple?
YES, EDWARDS. THE FORCE IS STRONG HERE, AND THIS PLACE HELPS FOCUS YOUR ENERGY. BUT IT IS UP TO YOU TO LET GO OF YOUR FEARS AND ALLOW THE LIGHT TO SURROUND YOU.
