Entry 38: The Jedi Padawan
*Hand held, the holodevice’s lens would not be on Hirak’s head which was covered in a red and black mask that sported the beast maw across the front where his mouth would be. It would appear he’s sat on something as his whole body is visible. He looks around for a few seconds before then looking back towards the camera.*
“I'm currently on Tatooine of all places, that barren and horrifically dull planet on the outer rim. It's a strange occurrence when an enemy of your past emerges so drastically onto your radar. That's why I am here in fact. It's because of her that I've come here. I am sure I have mentioned in previous recordings that I met a padawan in the early days of my Apprenticeship to Tokiai on Hoth who was on a mission with her master and became separated from him. I engaged her in combat before being forced to flee as her master eventually turned up in the nick of time. In the recent years I put her out of my mind as I grew and became stronger.
Following the expansion of my network and the reach that it has achieved, a few weeks ago I ended up growing curious. Curiosities have always lead me down a path of excitement, so I started a search with the prerogative that if any notable occasions of a human of her description popped up on the radar I should be alerted. Eventually she did and I was told she had arrived here on Tatooine. I hunted down her exact coordinates and movements, arrived incognito via the unaligned Kalkoran transport ships. After touch down I spent the next few days tracking her movements until I watched her exit into the dune sea for training. I followed her, cautious of her ability. After watching her for what felt like hours it was clear that her training had fallen by the way side unlike my own. She was sloppy, she had lost her way with the force and her connection to the light was faltering.
I dampened my presence and approached her. She had knelt down to scavenge parts from some sort of large engine that had broken down on the wasteland. Curious as to how much she had changed. I remembered long flowing golden hair in my mindseye only to find her hair was cropped and put up, dusty from the Tatooine dunes. Even her clothes were ragged. Oh… what wonders insecurities do to the poor minds of the jedi. So unsure of their purpose when they lose their way. It was rather easy.
I unhooked my lightsaber and ignited it to draw her attention. She turned and questioned me. She asked who I was and what I wanted. I simply laughed. The stupid girl didn't recognise me. Of course she wouldn't, I've gone through so many metamorphoses that I do not even recognise the figure that now speaks into this holorecorder from the one that started it. So I just stared her down and reminded her of our first encounter.
‘The mere Sith apprentice you met before is gone. Now only a Sith Lord remains. And you… are weak.’
I ignited one end of my lightsaber and leaped down, entangling in combat with her. She wielded Jar’kai like a puppy, so I dismantled her defence like I would a non-force sensitive. As I broke her, I launched her back into the side of the machine and gripped her there before she passed out from the barrage. I could feel her emotions, her fear buried beneath the guise of a Jedi and I relished as it tried to fight to the surface before she lost consciousness.”
*Hirak suddenly disappears off the image of the holorecorders display to show a female human sat up against something. Her head drooped downwards as she was clearly unconscious. Her hair was notably deranged and strewn across her face. Of medium build, her hands were tied together behind her back by something that was not shown on the recording. She was obviously breathing but nothing further.*
“When I return to the temple I will break her spirit and tempt her to the dark side through machinations I've had planned should I ever get the chance to turn a warrior of the light to the darkness. A little labyrinth around the ruined temple, a chance to test a theory of mine. We will see if she performs adequately or if she’ll fail like the pathetic order she originated from.
End transmission.”
*Hirak fumbles with the device that he clearly reaches for before the blue light retreats from its display back into the machine causing the low humming that had initiated at the start to stop slowly before the device powered down.*
