ELECTRICITY PULSING THROUGH her veins, she could feel precious seconds seeping away, willing herself to move. even the slightest, anything, just to move. with damaged muscles in her core, even breathing sent shockwaves of pain dancing across her skin. his words went unheeded at first, the young jedi fixated on forcing her limbs to move. struggling on, she only managed to shove herself onto an elbow before the shock of a red blade lancing the air inches from her face sent her collapsing onto her back.
chestnut gaze suddenly fastened on the looming figure above her, the whoosh of pounding blood in her ears, jaina swallowed against the lump growing in her throat. half curled on the bare dirt, when had she ever felt this small? ❝ lost cause? ❞ for all the twins of panic and pain thrumming beneath her ribs, somehow she managed to sound halfway steady, almost as much quiet confusion as disdain filling her voice. ❝ do you really think you can stop the vong any better? ❞ this was the only conclusion she could draw from his words. were the sith, wherever they’d come from, truly that insane?
it’s madness, true madness, tears pricking at the corners of her eyes, not out of fear but pure frustration. all the sacrifices, all the death, and now hers would come not protecting those she loved from the end of the world, but as with the war unwon, with all them still in danger. at least she wasn’t the last, left alone in the universe, all her family fallen before her. all these swirling emotions filled her gaze as she met his gold eyes with a cold fury. ❝ if you’re asking me to join the dark side, please do us all a favor and go kriff yourself with both your sabers. ❞
This was NOW familiar territory for the Sith. The jedi bending to his power with no hope of finding their footing. The darkside flowed through him, growing stronger with each step. It was as if he was taking in the hate and of the galaxy around him the closer he got to her death. Dagon could FEEL her weakening, hell he could even see it. She was struggling to move, to keep up. That was how he saw his opening and struck, hard. It sent her falling to the ground as one should under such a MIGHTY strike from his twin blades powered by anger and hatred from years of build up and training. Not to mention his frustration that was boiling over during this little skirmish of their’s.
He knelt down as one glade remained daringly close to her skull. His other blade moved to rest NEAR her throat. No matter which way she moved, she would find death. However, he knew jedi like her preferred it that way when in situations like this. He would do his best to keep her alive UNTIL she served her purpose. For one, he was curious as to how she even found him. There was no light left on this planet, he had snuffed it out until she appeared out of no where. BUT her mouth was really testing him, asking him to end her pitiful existence right then and there. But then she said something rather...unfamiliar. “Vong?” He asked with a small tilt of his head. “I do not know of these people, but if you fear them then I believe they will be better adversaries than YOU.”
The tears didn’t get by him, if anything it fueled him. Even if it wasn’t for fear, he was still causing this pain. A growl left the Sith’s lips as he moved the blade CLOSER to her throat. “Tell me, jedi, do you fear death?” He asked, a growl accompanying his tone as sharp canines reflected the scarlet light from his blades. “You die for a false cause, this will be all for NOTHING in the end.”
