Fallen, broken.
Simply dissolved into an incomplete thought.
An empty shell, cracked, and disfigured.
With no remorse, I have been blinded by the darkness.
With no distain, I have received my punishment.
And with no haste, I await them.
Corbin’s eyes snapped back into reality. The thoughts continued to wander in his head.
Revan, the brilliant mind and master of the Force…was gone. Julianna Annothe’s nightmare was truly over or was it? The battle itself was more then he would ever imagine but he was there. He watched Revan fall…was it right? Loyalty was tested, Determination was tested, Conviction was tested…and finally Duty…
"So many felt the Jedi and Republic betrayed the very foundation of themselves. Was it betrayal? Personally I didn’t see it. We were warned that Revan or Malak could possibly be there. This was a military operation in the grand scheme…However, was there something else we could have done? Who knows. I have to trust in the wisdom of the Masters and the Republic. "
“The Praxeum taught me so much…mediating, understanding secrets, diplomacy…and myself. Many still see me for the arrogant Padawan I was. I don’t blame them. I reflect back this quite often but the greatest advice I was ever given…was at the beginning. I truly understand now and I thank you for this…”
“The past does not define us, it informs us…”
“The new Armistise… Suffice to say, it went better then I expected but at the same time…the complete opposite. Connell would not being willing to see reason and his constant baiting of Elyd. He knew how to get under her skin… Then there was the Sith loyal to Valerius, with so little to bargain with…they gained so much. Not only did they gain a position on the Colonial Council but even Elyd supported it. Something is clearly off but I must remain vigilant in seeing how this. Sohma is a calculating individual…yet she has been helping the colony. There has to be an ulterior motive…I will continue to investigate this and give my findings to the Council.”
"May the Force guide me in this…Sandra and Solomon. A Jedi Shadow severing ties with her student but not way you would expect. Solomon…a good man, loyal to a fault. A strong sense of justice, I admire that about him so much…but now Gravius has him. Corrupted his ideals, molded him into a creature of hate and destruction. I have to trust in the Will of the Force that he will be guided back to the path that he followed for so long. I hope that this story of a Hero does not become a path of good intentions.
As for Sandra… I do not know where to start. She is a Shadow, she can blend into any crowd, bypass any security protocol. She is a Spy and a Shadow…Now the Republic wants her…The Neo-Sith want her…and now Callista is missing at a time where we need her most. I have to do what I can when I can, as a Jedi. I cannot allow my personal thoughts corrode my judgement. I have done that so many times and it has caused unrest and pain…"
"And then there was the Dark One…I will admit I saw fear…I felt fear…the living incarnate of the Dark Side…However, thinking of all that has brought me to this moment…I had to rise above this. I had to chance it all. I made a vow to the Order to protect the Galaxy…but I almost promised to bring peace to a friend…
I remember seeing my lightsaber cleaving into the Dark One…I remember the feeling. I felt peace and clarity. I trusted in the Force…I have to trust my training and everything I have sworn to protect…"
Corbin made his way to the cockpit of the Legacy and finally taking a sighing breath of relief. A smile formed on his face as he looked out to Viscara.
“Mart… I hope you finally have the peace you seek. Thank you. Now let me continue your Legacy”
