                                            >Two very young padawans are arguing, You believe there names are Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon but you've never spoken to them personally. only seen them in the halls

                                            >"Listen DT it WAS pronounced 'Cora-skant' a MILLION BILLION years ago! duh! they just don't DO that anymore.. I wasn't wrong I was being.. being.. historial"

                                            >>"Uhuh.. suuure spoony suure.."

                                            >You groan internally

                                            "It was pronouned that way along time ago when there was still ground visible on the planet, but do go around talking about the water on tatooine? no.. because it's been gone for longer then even Master Celestia has been alive"

                                            >They both look at you like you're crazy

                                            >They both giggle and walk away

                                            >It's not your fault no one ever gives you any lessons, you're only in attendance to mass training sessions or here reading books

                                            >Master Shimmer is supposed to be training you.. but where is she? Off-world on some adventure with her other students

                                            >You arise and leave the Library, Walking for a few minutes until you find a large window viewing the setting sun over the city world

                                            >Suddenly you see something, like a ghost of a dream..

                                            >Everything is dark except a child.. she's green and in the arms of a women much like herself.. but her face.. gone. you can't see it

                                            >"My little flower...."

                                            >The door to the room opens. A much younger Master Starswirl enters the room. his beard still has a tinge of brown hidden amongst the grey

                                            >>"Hello Ms, do you mind if we test your daughter? She may have the potential to become a Jedi, a Powerful hero of our Republic.. I sense great strength in someone so very small"

                                            >He smiles

                                            >"O-oh.. I.. Do I have to give her to you if I find out she has the.. 'potential?'"

                                            >>"No no of course not, it's all your choice, What is her name if I may ask?"

                                            >"Wallflower Blush"

                                            >>"Let's learn then shall we?"

                                            >Starswirl pulls out a small blood testing kit. he pricks your infant finger and you hear yourself cry

                                            >>"Shh little one.. A small price to pay for clarity"

                                            >Time seems to blur and you can't make out the conversation

                                            >He looks at the test results

                                            >>"Well well! so I was correct, your daughter.. "

                                            >>"Yes, Wallflower Blush has the potential as I suspected. She will be taken to Coruscant and trained as a Jedi"

                                            >"O-oh oh that's.. that's wonderful! but I.. I'm not so sure now.. after all you've told me I'm not sure that's the right choice for her, Can I not keep her for a year or two at least?"

                                            >>"No, I'm sorry Ma'am I cannot let you do that, they must be trained young to avoid forming attachments"

                                            >"Avoid.. but, But that doesn't sound right. I think I'm going to keep her even if you can't return"

                                            >Wallflower feels a shift, she feels an odd chill

                                            >>"I'm sorry but I misled you, I'm going to be taking her"

                                            >Starswirl grips your infant form with the force and wrenches you out of your mothers arms

                                            >You feel ever colder

                                            >Starswirl waves his hand slowly sweeping it across the room

                                            >>"You will not remember you ever had a daughter, and I was never here"

                                            >"I.. but.. but I do"

                                            >>"You will never recall I was here nor your daughters existence"

                                            >"N-no.. you can't do that to me"

                                            >You feel like you've fallen into a deep frozen lake, sinking.. sinking..

                                            >>"I see.. if you possess such resistance then your daughter will evermore possess this strength, But now is not the time for this"

                                            >There is a pause, a look in his eye.. you feel through the dream, a choice was already made before he even entered the room, before he even landed on this world, before he even left the Jedi Temple

                                            >"I'm sorry"

                                            >With a flash of blue light, a slash so fast your mother never made a single sound. the last sound she made was her limp body collapsing on the floor

                                            "M-mother.."

                                            >"Hey Ms are you alright?"

                                            >Pulled out of your dream you see Knight Shining Armor with his hand on your shoulder

                                            >"Are you.. alright?" he asks curious

                                            >You look out the window, the sky grey and illuminated only by city lights

                                            "I.. Yes.. I just saw a vision"

                                            >He lights up

                                            >"A vision?! I've never seen one of those" his hand leaves your shoulder and he stands by your side at the window"

                                            >"Padawan?.."

                                            "Wallflower Blush"

                                            >"Padawan Blush.. some jedi can see visions and others not, we aren't all so lucky" he smiles

                                            >Lucky..

                                            "I wouldn't say lucky.."

                                            >he looks concerned

                                            >"It was serious then? pain I gather?.."

                                            "Yes.."

                                            >"Well you should go tell Master Celestia, Padawan.. B..uhm.."

                                            >He looks at you embarrassed

                                            >You simply turn away and leave without another word

                                            >The Temple is mighty cold today.. yet no one else seems bothered

                                            >Was that a real vision of the past? or merely a tired dream.. a fear turned into nightmare?

                                            >Shining armor was right, you Should ask Master Celestia.. but will you?

                                            >What has she really ever done for you, if that vision is true.. what will happen? does she know? if she does.. will you suffer the same fate?

                                            >Instead of returning to your room you return to the Archive in search of knowledge on visions

                                            >Wandering through shelves of datadisks you realize you're not even even looking at their titles.. you could have just made a search in any of the terminals around

                                            >"Hello padawan, Do you need aid in your search?"

                                            >Master Moondancer asked you, seemingly still not recognizing you after how many years of being here?

                                            "I'm looking for information of Visions.. Visions of the.. The dark"

                                            >She squints her eyes, untrusting

                                            >"I'm not sure I can help you with that Ms?.."

                                            >They truly don't care do they?

                                            >Every moment since your vision you begin to see it in a way you hadn't before

                                            "Nevermind, I will be leaving then"

                                            >"No that's not going to be happening" She grabs your arm

                                            >"I think Master Luna would like to speak with you about your search for this type of material"

                                            >"Master Luna will be with you shorty.." She down at you with squinting eyes yet again


                                            >Hours pass..

                                            >After a few minutes you fall asleep.. sitting in someones chair, you're not here often so you're not sure who's it is

                                            >"Uhm.. Hello?.. may I ask why you're in here?"

                                            >You stand up quickly and look around

                                            >It's daylight outside, early dawn

                                            >You see it's Master Celestia standing over you

                                            "I.. I was told to wait here for Master Luna.. by Master Moondancer.."

                                            >She raises an eyebrow

                                            >"Really? well we're about to be in session so please do so somewhere else" She looks at you like something is wrong with you. like you shouldn't be here

                                            "I..I.."

                                            >She walks away from you

                                            >You quickly leave the room while the Members of the council file in, you notice Master Starswirl too

                                            >Fear overcomes you at his sight

                                            >"Hello Padawan Wallflower, what seems to be the trouble?"

                                            "Uh.." What do you say?.. how much can you say?

                                            "I'm looking for Master Luna"

                                            >"Oh!" he lightens up

                                            >"She should be in her chambers this time of day. I'm sure she wouldn't mind a visit"

                                            >You quickly leave in search of her chambers..


                                            >Wait.. why? no, you're not doing that.

                                            >What a horrible day. horrible turn of events all of this

                                            >A vision of the truth or a lie? every action of the Jedi, your.. family.. turns you towards believing it was true, was it? it can't be..

                                            >Perhaps it is, then what? if you were really stolen away.. what do you do?

                                            >You, so deep in thought bump into someone else

                                            "Oh! I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going"

                                            >Something is very odd about her way of speech, it always has put you off..

                                            >You follow her to her chambers, a room with a shaded overlook of the city

                                            >"So Ms Blush, what troubles you?.."

                                            >You take a deep breath and begin, you tell her all you saw in your vision and how everyone has treated you since

                                            >"That's.. a very unsettling chain of events. I'm sorry you had to go through that"

                                            "Is. is.. is it true?"

                                            >She looks deep in thought.. almost worried

                                            >"If it is, what will you about it?"

                                            >What will you do about it?

                                            "I haven't had time to think about that yet"

                                            >She nods calmly

                                            >"Did you know I was taken here after I was much older then most Jedi?"

                                            <Feed on your hate>

                                            >The cold dark whispers to you once again

                                            "I am Wallflower Blush, Dark Lord of the Sith"

                                            >You say with monotone seriousness

                                            >You continue to parry and hold your ground, her moves dance around you, yet you stand nearly still simply parrying and deflecting

                                            >Sunset was more skilled but fought with blind fury, Trixie fights proud and she underestimates you

                                            >"Trixie sees your weakness.. and Trixie pities you, Another foolish jedi who felt the dark now thinking they can lay claim to it's true power.. Hahahahaha.. it's always so so sad.." She says grinning, her teeth white as polished bone

                                            >You ignite the second blade of your lightsaber and switch your stance and form so fast Trixie can barely react, you almost sliced her head off but instead it's simply a lock of her hair

                                            >"How are dare thee attempt such a move against Trixie"

                                            >In a moment you realize the Illusion, she was merely toying with you!

                                            <hahahahahahahah> the dark laughs at you

                                            >In a spin Trixie interlocks her blades around yours and wrenches it from your hand

                                            >disarmed you gasp in terror

                                            >Was it all for nothing?

                                            >>"Cease! You have won.. Little Flower" Lord Sombra spake

                                            >>"You are the first in along time to truly spark real anger in Trixie.. it seems you've embarrassed her, She very much underestimated you"

                                            >"Trixie was not fooled" she said, her knuckles turning white with intensity

                                            >>"You have both learned a lesson today, Trixie is one of our top students here at the academy. You will be seeing much of each other in the coming days"

                                            >Perhaps you shouldn't have cut off her hair..

                                            >Weeks pass and you study in the sith archives, much like your time in the jedi's..

                                            >Their books are old, Stone tablets, Skin-bound tomes and carvings on wood. their knowledge far more ancient and left untouched by this "brotherhood of darkness"

                                            >"Hello"

                                            >You look up from your book to see a tall women, her skin orange and hair silvery pink

                                            >"I am Lord Sable Spirit, I am the master of these archives" she says in a whispery ghostly voice that carries unnaturally

                                            "Hello, I am Wallflower Blush"

                                            >"You have interest in these 'dusty old books' hm?.." she smiles, the cracks on her face pull and twist into a sickly grin

                                            "Mhm.. I am not given much attention by the others.."

                                            >"Yes.. Yes that tends to occur with fallen Jedi such as yourself, but not like this.. you have a power you do not even see"

                                            >You do?.. what could she be speaking of..

                                            >"You twist the minds of others to see you not, In my youth I did the opposite but I desired it so, I wanted the galaxy to see my beauty, my divine darkness blanketed the universe.."

                                            >"It takes from you your 'false' form revealing the spirit showing all your inside.. to gain the darkness you must loose your visage of beauty" she says this longingly

                                            >"It is a sacrifice I would make one hundred fold again if I could.. Beauty was once all I desired, but knowledge replace that.. and I see that in you. you seek it unlike any other who has ever visited these halls in my lifetime"

                                            "I.. I hide myself?"

                                            >"Yes.. And I will teach you to harass it, you will be all but Invisible in time.. for now you're a phantom, soon you will be as Clear as glass and as solid as Phrik allow"

                                            >"I will show you, but you must promise to keep reading these books, they will show you things no other can"

                                            "Yes, please teach me"

                                            >"Stand and follow me"

                                            >You follow her to a dark chamber beside the library

                                            >"You are afraid of others, and You also desire their Love.. without knowing you've used these to cloak yourself in the force and twist the minds of others to wipe yourself from their thoughts"

                                            >You begin to think about the past, her words ring true..

                                            >"You must embrace the cloak and feel it's presence, only then can you control it.. Like that whorish Trixie you will reveal your true form when you drop the Cloak, and with it on you will be nothing more then a shadow in a moonless night"


                                            >You are Starlight Glimmer, Master of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant

                                            "Master Moondancer, I will like access to the restricted section, there is a rumor of a sith weapon I must find out if it's true"

                                            >"Certainly Master Starlight"

                                            >Moondancer leads the way and opens the door to the locked vault

                                            >There all around lies Sith artifacts and holocrons that were spirited away in ages past

                                            >"What kind of weapon is it?"

                                            >You ignore her and search for a specific Sith Holocron, the odd spherical one

                                            >Finding it you levitate it to yourself

                                            >"Oh! That's believed to be the Lord of Chaos's.. hence it's unorthodox shape"

                                            >You inspect it all around, its markings are in an unknown sith dialect

                                            >"Yes.. we don't know what any of it says.. if anything at all, it's entirely possible its complete nonsense! It's in character afterall"

                                            >"S-so.. what are you looking for.. Master Starlight?.. Master Starlight?.. Hello?.."

                                            "Will you stop talking for once"

                                            >"I.." She is clearly concerned and surprised

                                            "I'm just.. so.. tired of you" You turn to her and give her a look of disapproval

                                            "Personally trained by Grand Master Celestia herself and where do you choose to spend your time? Supporting us in the war? No, you use your 'talent's or lack there of to yell at padawans for not putting holodisks back.. you sicken me"

                                            >"I-I.. Master Starlight maybe you should get some resAH-Kk,..I-ah..crunch

                                            >Grasping her neck with the force you crush her windpipe, not even savoring the moment

                                            >You take as many Sith Holocrons and tomes as you can and put them in your bag, you don't have much time

                                            >You must both act natural and run out of this place

                                            >You toss begin to sprint down the nearly vacant halls

                                            >After a shortwhile you arrive at your transport, it's a special ship designed for bringing Younglings to craft their lightsaber, it's filled with many parts for such a purpose and a couple training droids

                                            >"STOP!"

                                            >You throw your bag into the ship and spin around

                                            >"Starlight Glimmer! I sense what you've stolen.. return them and you will be treated with leniency"

                                            "Ah, Knight Sunburst.. I haven't seen you in ages.."

                                            >"Starlight.. please don't do this"

                                            >You smile at your old friend and widen your stance, hand on your lightsaber

                                            >"I really don't want to do this.."

                                            "But I do"

                                            >He unclips his lightsaber and ignites it, it glows blue in the night sky

                                            "I always thought Orange would have suited you better.."

                                            >"Stand down, I don't want to hurt you" he says with a shaky voice

                                            "You do recall I was once the Sword of the Jedi before Knight Rainbow Dash arrived here, are you sure you want to do this?"

                                            >"I will ask you one last time.." He raises his saber in two hands in a basic ready stance fit for a padawan learner more then a knight

                                            "I will be leaving now, Goodbye Sunburst"

                                            >You turn away and walk to your ship

                                            >"RaaaAAAH!!" he rushes you..

                                            >You hesitate for a moment, memories of being so young flash before your eyes, memories of meeting him here on your first arrival, missions together along with both your Masters

                                            >But ultimately, Your paths diverge here.. For his must end and yours must go on into the dark

                                            >With one single move you step aside and ignite your blade into the center of his back, he stood no chance. you almost feel bad

                                            >You turn off your blade and return it to your hip, Soon after leaving the Planet..
